Chapter 288 - Luring You to Sleep

After Lin Sitong wolfed down the food, he leaned against the back of the chair, contentedly rubbed her stomach, and let out a happy moan. After doing all this, she finally saw Gu Zhirou's expression that made her unable to hold back her laughter.

Lin Sitong's face couldn't help but turn slightly red, as she yelled in a spoiled manner, "Aunt Gu ~"

Gu Zhirou covered her lips with her hand, "Alright, alright, alright, I won't laugh at you! I only started laughing when I saw you eating so happily. It's definitely not because you're a glutton. "

Lin Sitong's face became even redder, as she pouted unhappily and said: "Aunt Gu! I am not a glutton! "

"Okay, okay, okay. Of course you're not!" After saying that, Gu Zhirou smiled merrily and asked: "Should I add more?"

Lin Sitong shook her head: "No need, if I continue eating, I will become the Sand Monk's second Senior Brother!"

Gu Zhirou was startled for a moment, but then she reacted and pointed at Lin Sitong with a smile: "Girl, you!"

Lin Sitong curled her lips in embarrassment. Looking at Gu Zhirou's smiling face, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a faint smile. A layer of warmth surged into her heart.

This... Probably the feeling of having a mother.

Lin Sitong laughed softly.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Sitong stopped smiling and asked softly: "Aunt Gu, you're not going to ask me?"

"Ask you what?" Gu Zhirou looked at Lin Sitong seriously.

"Ask me …" Why are you crying? " As Lin Sitong spoke, he awkwardly avoided Gu Zhirou's gentle eyes.

Gu Zhirou smiled and said: "If you don't want to tell me, I naturally won't ask any further. If you want to tell me, Aunt Gu is always here, and if you want to pour out your heart, you can come and find me anytime. "

Lin Sitong raised her head and looked at Gu Zhirou in a daze, meeting Gu Zhirou's eyes which held a smile.

Lin Sitong parted her lips, and said softly: "Thank you."

Thank you for not asking, and thank you for... Giving me such warmth and protection when I was in such a sorry state.

"Silly child." Gu Zhirou smiled lightly, "Even if it's only in name, I really do treat you as my own child. My child, it is perfectly natural for me to protect her. Why would I need you to thank me? "

"I think of you as my own child."

As soon as these words left his mouth, Lin Sitong's heart felt as if it was scalded, and started to warm up all of a sudden.

"Alright." Gu Zhirou smiled and said, "You've trudged like this all day, and you should be tired as well. "Let's go rest early."

Lin Sitong took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay."

After pausing for a moment, Lin Sitong added, "Aunt Gu, you should rest earlier too."

"Alright." Gu Zhirou replied with a smile.

When Gu Zhirou didn't say anything, Lin Sitong felt better. When Gu Zhirou told her to rest earlier, Lin Sitong realized that she was so tired that she couldn't even lift her legs. Her upper and lower eyelids were constantly fighting, as if she could fall asleep while standing.

However, after Lin Sitong walked to her room with some difficulty, washed herself simply, and laid down on the soft bed, Lin Sitong realized that even though she was dead tired, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

"Stone, listen to my explanation …"

"I knew it couldn't be hidden from you."

"Lin Sitong, I have Pei Qingheng's child. I'm going to marry him soon!"

As long as Lin Sitong closed her eyes, she would hear these messed up sounds and countless scenes would appear in front of him.

Pei Qingheng's face flushed red, looking like he fell on the ground.

Chu Xue faced the face of the winner and looked down on her. She had a complacent smile on her face.

Ling Xiaorui's beautiful face was cold and detached as he looked at her.

Lin Sitong could not bear the disturbance, and suddenly opened her eyes, holding the quilt, he sat up.

The empty and lifeless eyes looked forward. After a long while, Lin Sitong slowly got up from the bed, wore slippers, and quietly opened the door.

The room next door was Pei Qingheng's room. Lin Sitong's footsteps paused subconsciously, and she raised her hand. Just as she was about to knock on the door, Lin Sitong suddenly realized what she was doing.

Abruptly retracting his hand, Lin Sitong's mouth raised into a wry smile.

Unknowingly, Pei Qingheng's influence on him had already grown so huge?

Lin Sitong couldn't help but clench her fists and walk forward.

Lin Sitong stood in front of the open balcony, and for some reason, she was unable to take a single step forward with that foot of her.

Lin Sitong looked at the balcony in front of him in a daze, then thought back to the night when she and Pei Qingheng had looked at the stars together here.

Lin Sitong couldn't help but walk into the balcony and look up at the sky.

"Swan..." Lin Sitong could not help but mutter to herself, "That night, Pei Qingheng taught her to see the first constellation, however, after searching for a while in the quiet night sky, she was unable to find it."

Perhaps it was because the moon was too bright tonight …

Lin Sitong told herself softly in her heart.

"Can't sleep?"

Just as Lin Sitong was immersed in her own thoughts, a voice suddenly came out from behind Lin Sitong.

Lin Sitong was shocked, she immediately turned around, only to see Gu Zhirou wearing silk pajamas standing at the balcony entrance, gently looking at her.

Only now did Lin Sitong react, and explained: "I don't know why, I was obviously very sleepy, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter what, so I wanted to come over here to take a look."

Gu Zhirou walked to Lin Sitong's side, looked at the night sky, and faintly smiled: "When I can't sleep at night, I also like to come and sit here."

Hearing Gu Zhirou's words, Lin Sitong could not help but be curious: "Aunt Gu, do you often lose sleep?"

"Insomnia?" Gu Zhirou repeated in a soft voice. After a while, she smiled and shook her head, "It's not insomnia, I just don't want to sleep."

Lin Sitong nodded his head as if she understood something. She lowered his head and noticed that Gu Zhirou had been holding a silver ring on her hand.

Without waiting for Lin Sitong to look carefully, Gu Zhirou turned her head to look at Lin Sitong, and chuckled: "Let's go, I'll sleep with you."

"Huh?" Hearing Gu Zhirou's words, Lin Sitong suddenly opened her eyes wide, and looked at Gu Zhirou in shock.

"Let's go!" Gu Zhirou seemed to be suddenly interested, and dragged Lin Sitong back to her room.

Lin Sitong laid on the bed somewhat stiff, as she looked at Gu Zhirou in a daze, not knowing what she was trying to say.

Gu Zhirou sat on the side of the bed, extended her hand and lightly patted Lin Sitong, and began to hum an unknown song.
