Chapter 786 Fishing Scheming Boy X Indifferent Uncle 20
Gu Jinyan stood behind Shen Xi, raised his hands gently, and gently wrapped Shen Xi's wet hair with a dry towel, pressing and wiping it gently again and again, from the ends to the roots, and every movement was full of meticulous care.
His eyes were focused and gentle, as if nothing in the world was more important than the thing he was doing.
Shen Xi sat comfortably on the edge of the bed, holding the bowl of the still steaming hangover soup leisurely. He tilted his head slightly, scooped up a small mouthful with a spoon, and slowly put it into his mouth, a satisfied look on his face.
In fact, the fruit wine I drank tonight was only more than ten degrees in alcohol. Plus, I had just taken a bath for a long time, so most of the fatigue and drunkenness in my body had already dissipated. Now, drinking the sobering soup cooked by Gu Jinyan himself, my heart felt even warmer.
"Uncle is so good to me."
Shen Xi turned his head slightly and looked up at Gu Jinyan, his eyes full of dependence and gratitude. A sweet smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he spoke softly.
That smile is like a flower blooming in spring, brilliant and bright.
Hearing this, Gu Jinyan paused for a moment, a doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he responded gently: "Xixi only has me as his uncle. If I don't treat you better, won't I disappoint you?"
His voice was low and mellow, and seemed to carry an innate power to soothe people.
As the two were having a relaxed and pleasant conversation, the moisture in Shen Xi's hair was gradually absorbed dry.
Gu Jinyan walked to the corner of the room with familiarity, took out the hair dryer from the cabinet, plugged it in, adjusted the appropriate temperature and wind speed, and then returned to Shen Xi.
He gently held Shen Xi's hair with one hand and held the hair dryer with the other, letting the warm wind blow evenly through Shen Xi's hair, from the top of the head to the ends, patiently drying every strand of hair.
After blowing his hair, Gu Jinyan put the hair dryer aside, looked at Shen Xi who had finished drinking the hangover soup, and said softly: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."
Having said that, he stood up and prepared to leave the room.
The moment Gu Jinyan turned around, Shen Xi subconsciously reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, exerting a little force with his fingers, as if he was afraid that he would leave.
Gu Jinyan paused, turned around, his eyes full of confusion and concern, and asked softly, "What's wrong, Xixi?"
"Uncle, I'm sober now. I'm not dizzy anymore. Can you tell me where my parents are?"
Shen Xi's eyes flashed with an unknown excitement, but when Gu Jinyan met his eyes, he felt a little guilty.
Gu Jinyan's throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't speak for a while. He slowly sat back on the bed, unconsciously clasping his hands together, his knuckles slightly white due to the force. The room was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard, and the atmosphere became depressing and heavy.
"Xixi, there are some things I don't know how to tell you." Gu Jinyan spoke with difficulty, his voice so hoarse that even he himself felt unfamiliar. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but he didn't dare to look Shen Xi in the eye.
Shen Xi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He stared at Gu Jinyan closely, his hands unconsciously clenched the quilt, and his fingertips turned white because of the force. "Uncle, tell me, I can bear it." His voice trembled slightly, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Gu Jinyan raised his head and looked into Shen Xi's eyes, which were full of pain and helplessness. "Your parents died a long time ago."
His voice was very soft, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Shen Xi's heart hard.
Shen Xi's body shook violently, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by endless shock and confusion.
He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids, making it difficult to see his emotions at the moment.
The room was extremely quiet.
After a long time, Shen Xi slowly raised his head. Although his voice was a little low, it was very steady: "I should have thought of it earlier. After so many years, there has been no news from them. How could they just leave in an ordinary way?"
Although his tone was calm, his eyes were already filled with tears.
Gu Jinyan felt mixed emotions when he saw him like this.
But after telling the truth, the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart for years finally fell to the ground.
“Analysis…”
As soon as Gu Jinyan opened his mouth, Shen Xi suddenly threw himself into his arms, wrapping his arms tightly around Gu Jinyan's neck, as if he had grabbed the last straw.
