Chapter 958 The Unfavored Prince X The Poor Homeless Child 4
"I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about my brother."
Gu Yu buried himself in his clothes, causing his voice to sound muffled.
Shen Xi looked down at him and inexplicably felt like he was playing a development game.
The last time I played this kind of game was several worlds ago, right?
A little excited, what's going on?
Thinking of this, he squatted down and picked the person up.
Gu Yu was 12 years old, but he was short and light.
Shen Xi felt it was uncomfortable to hold him in his arms, so he decided to take good care of him after returning to the palace.
Raising a husband in old age is a technical job. For the sake of your own future happiness, you absolutely cannot let him become disabled.
"You are still weak, why don't you take a rest?"
Gu Yu lay in his arms with a red face, without any other thoughts. It was just that no one had ever cared about him before, and he just felt that this feeling was a bit strange.
“A little bit scared.”
He knew that he probably shouldn't say this, but he just inexplicably believed the person in front of him and wanted to tell him all his thoughts.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. No one here will hurt you. Just stay here without any worries."
As he spoke, he carried Gu Yu back to the bed.
"Once the flood is resolved, I will take you back to the capital."
Hearing that he was going to take him away, Gu Yu's face was full of disbelief. This morning, Shen Xi asked him to think carefully about where he lived and the names of his parents.
He thought that Shen Xi wanted to send him back quickly and never thought that Shen Xi would take him away.
"Brother will take me away?"
Shen Xi felt a little distressed when he saw his cautious expression.
After putting him on the bed, she reached out and gently scratched the wing of his nose.
"What else? You are so afraid of strangers when I'm not around, and you will be afraid of this and that in a moment.
If I don't take you with me and leave you here alone, I wonder how scared you will be."
Shen Xi tried to make his tone as relaxed as possible so that he would not sound guilty.
Despite this, Gu Yu was still moved.
His parents were typical people who sold their children by giving birth to them.
Generally speaking, it is wrong to ban such things in Daxia, but it cannot stop the thoughts of these despicable people in the folk.
The reason why Gu Yu was not sold as soon as he was born was because his parents were not short of money at that time, so they wanted to raise a little kid to take care of his daily life.
He had a hard life since childhood. His parents beat and scolded him, and it was common for him to go hungry for two meals a day.
During the war, his parents sold him without hesitation for money.
I have never felt the care of others. Not only that, I have experienced the evil of human nature.
The appearance of Shen Xi completely overturned all his cognition.
It turns out that there are good people in this world, and it turns out that there are people who love me.
"Brother, don't you think I'm a burden?"
It's no wonder he thinks this way. His parents always make a fuss every time they beat him. He is a burden.
If it weren't for keeping him, his parents wouldn't have suffered so much.
Shen Xi saw the confusion and disbelief in Gu Yu's eyes through those eyes.
He forced a smile, reached out and gently held Gu Yu's hands, which were trembling with excitement.
"No, everyone has their own responsibilities and life paths in this world.
No one is a burden, and I don’t want you to say that about yourself anymore.”
"Xiao Yu, promise your brother that you won't say that again, okay?"
"it is good."
After dinner, the two prepared to rest.
Although it was not particularly late, Shen Xi had been busy all afternoon and Gu Yu was not feeling well, so the two of them prepared to go to bed and rest.
Gu Yu came in a hurry, and Wang Chengyi had arranged for someone to clean the rooms, so they only cleaned up this guest room.
Because of the flood, the officials in the government office are very busy.
Besides, Gu Yu is so timid. If he wasn’t in the same room with me at night, who knows how scared he would be.
Shen Xi didn't plan to trouble anyone to clean up a room for himself.
"Brother, what did you do this afternoon?"
Gu Yu stayed in his room alone for the entire afternoon today. It would be a lie to say he wasn't bored.
Because he couldn't adapt to the new environment quickly, he couldn't sleep in the room, so he sat on the bed, looking at the scenery outside the window, waiting for him to come back.
Therefore, although he was very tired now, he still wanted to hear what Shen Xi was doing today.
"I just went out to check on the disaster victims. I was busy all afternoon, but there was nothing special to do."
It’s not that he doesn’t want to talk, there really is nothing to say. That’s all the things that happened on the dam, and it would be tiring to talk about it.
Hearing that his tone sounded a little tired, Gu Yu just stayed on the inside of the bed and stopped talking.
He was weak and had been tense all afternoon, so he fell asleep soon.
The same thing happened for the remaining two days. Shen Xi was busy with post-disaster reconstruction during the day.
Gu Yu had nothing to do every day, so he would sit by the bed or on the stone steps in the yard waiting for Shen Xi to come back.
Fortunately, it is early summer now, so it is not too cold nor too hot.
So it's quite comfortable to sit in the yard.
I received a reply on the third day.
"Gather the troops and prepare to march up the mountain."
