I really could not believe my own eyes. He deliberately drove over just to buy a bag of candy.
âYes!â
He went straight to the self-checkout station.
After paying the bill, he headed for the exit.
âHold this for me!â
Busy on the phone, he stuffed the bag of candy back into my hands.
I opened the bag to confirm, again and again.
Yes, it was!
This colorful pile, was indeed candy.
There were chocolates, lollipops, fruit candy, and marshmallows.
He bought several pounds, it was heavy to hold in my hand.
I thought about it carefully, and couldnât recall him having a particular fondness for candy.
After finishing his call, he looked at me from the entrance of the shopping mall.
âPresident Gu, eating so much candy will probably lead to diabetes!â
I probed him a little.
Gu Yuanzhou waved his hand.
âItâs not for me to eat!â
âThen, who will it be for?â
Instead of answering me, he walked towards the childrenâs playground.
Once he reached the entrance, he turned to me, âDistribute these candies to the children!â
âPresident Gu, whatâs the meaning of doing this?â
âJust do it!â
He did not answer my reason.
Walking into this castle-like childrenâs playground, to be honest, I was feeling a bit heavy-hearted.
These lively and adorable children reminded me of joyous times I had glimpsed in the past.
However, knowing that Gu Yuanzhou was watching me from behind, I could not disobey his sage.
In my daze, a lovely little girl walked up to me, fixated on the candy in my hand.
âSister, can I have a lollipop?â
Only then did I squat down, reaching out to pinch her little face. âLittle friend, what is your name?â
âI am called Xiaogu!â fđ«eđđebđođŻđđ„.đđm
âGood girl. Here, this is for you!â
I handed a lollipop to the young girl, she accepted the candy, sincerely thanked me, and even praised my dress.
âSister, your dress is so beautiful!â
âDo you like it?â
âYes, can I touch it?â
âSure!â
The little girl came forward and touched my dress. The moment her little hand touched my body, tears suddenly filled my eyes.
The little girl looked up at me, seeing me crying, she anxiously pulled my hand. âSister, whatâs wrong?â
I slowly squatted down, âXiaogu, can I hug you?â
âOf course!â
So, I hugged that small, soft body. At that moment, I felt a sense of healing.
I had no idea that a child could break through my defenses like this.
I was worried about frightening her, so I only hugged her for a little while before letting go.
But she reached out and gently wiped the tears from my face.
âSister, why are you crying so sadly?â
âMm, I lost two people who I loved very much, they were just as adorable as youâŠâ I choked.
âThen I will hug you again!â
The little girl hugged me again, then reassured me in a babyish voice,
âSister, I love my Grandma very much, but she has also passed away. But Mommy told me, after the people we love the most die, they become stars in the sky watching over us. If we miss them, we just have to look at the stars, and we can see them.â
I had never imagined that I could be healed by a child.
âThank you.â
âSister, when you are unhappy, just have a lollipop! Then you can be happy again!â
âMm, alright!â
âSister, Iâm going to play!â
I watched as the little girl joined the other children, and shortly after, many more kids came over for candy. I distributed it to them one by one.
In less than ten minutes, I had given out all the candy in the bag.
Suddenly, I gazed into a corner of my mind, why did this little girl call herself Xiaogu?
What did that name mean?
When I wanted to find her again to ask for clarity, she had already disappeared.
For a moment, I even thought, could it be that my daughter was reincarnated, and had come to comfort me?
Once again, tears filled my eyes. I opened the bag, took out the last lollipop, unwrapped it, put it in my mouth, and the sweet taste swept over my taste buds.
A gentle hand patted my back, pulling me out of my thoughts.
I turned my head. It was Gu Yuanzhou.
His eyes were intently watching me.
âWhy are you crying?â
Randomly wiping the tear stains from my cheeks, I came up with a clumsy reason.
âI remembered when I was a child, I wanted to go to the amusement park, but not only did my Dad disapprove, but he also chased me around half the village with a stickâŠâ
This was a story I heard from a friend, which I conveniently applied to myself.
After listening, Gu Yuanzhouâs eyes revealed a hint of doubt.
âWas your childhood very unfortunate?â
âAs you can see, my Mum and Dad are like that, they do favor boys over girls, and we were quite poor⊠If there was anything good to eat, it was given to my younger brother first, and only after he had eaten, would it be my turn. The clothes I wore were also my younger brotherâs hand-me-downsâŠâ
âCan you cook?â
He asked again.
âUh, to cook, I canât!â
âAlright, letâs go.â
Gu Yuanzhou didnât say much else. He seemed rather quiet after getting in the car.
But I kept thinking, why did he randomly have me distribute candy to those children? What did he mean?
I couldnât understand, but I had a bad premonition.
That is, Gu Yuanzhou seemed to be deliberately trying to get closer to me.
When we got to the company, he instructed me directly.
âYouâll move into my office from now on!â
Previously, I was still working in my original small office space, and only went to the CEOâs office when delivering documents or summoned by Gu Yuanzhou.
âPresident Gu, wonât that be inappropriate?â
He pointed to a faraway reception area where coffee and tea were usually served. âIâll have someone come and fix it up later. Youâll work there.â
This sudden change left me a bit flustered.
If I move here to work, Iâll have to face him every day!
By then, Iâm afraid it will be difficult to conceal my feelingsâŠ
So right then and there, I refused. âPresident Gu, wonât it be better if I work in my current office!â
Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me. âDouble your salary next month!â
âThatâs not what I meant, I thinkâŠâ
âAlright, itâs settled then!â
He forcefully cut off my words, completely ignoring what I had to say.
That evening, I met with Wenya and told her all about what Gu Yuanzhou had done throughout the day.
After Wenya listened, she also had some doubts.
âCould it be that he suspects you? After all, by keeping you by his side, heâll be able to see right through you day and night!â
Jian Jing sipped her tea and responded indifferently.
âSuspects what? That after Ayun died, she was reincarnated? Honestly, if I hadnât witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldnât believe it.â
Right, unless somebody has genuinely seen someone reincarnated, whoâd think of such a possibility.
Wenya suddenly had a thought, âPerhaps, thereâs another possibility!â
