Chapter 213 – Whose child are those again? (1)
Gu Shishi straight up took the morning off and holed out in her room working on the comics that Huo ChuChu had requested.
Most importantly, she got to listen to some of the boss’s childhood stories.
“What? You peed your bed and the boss washed your bedsheets for you?”
Gu Shishi was genuinely surprised.
Huo ChuChu nodded but then looked at her curiously. “You call my brother ‘the boss’?”
She didn’t know that her brother was into that.
Gu Shishi let out an “ugh” and didn’t know how to explain that.
Nevertheless, Huo ChuChu did not press the issue. “I already knew to be prideful back then. I felt embarrassed for having peed the bed so I started crying. My brother read my mind and washed it for me without anyone knowing to make me feel better.”.....
Gu Shishi was surprised.
The boss was a warm boy since he was a child.
“Eh, and I was a picky eater. I don’t like carrots so he learned how made little bunny shaped carrots from our aunty at home just to get me to eat them.”
The list went on as Huo ChuChu counted them out one by one with her fingers showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.
“I was told that he even changed my diapers when I was first born.
“And read stories to me.
“And drew for me.
“I was tone deaf before and was very self-conscious of it when I sang. Big Brother taught me line by line so I could sing them later on.”
Gu Shishi’s eyes widened.
The boss was a household superman?!
Dang!
What kind of a fantastical treasure man was him?
Beneath that cold appearance was a warm household boy?
Who would have thought?
“Shishi-jie, if my big brother gets upset at you and was mean to you, I… I can’t ask you to not be angry at him, but I hope you will give him a chance… He really a very gentle soul,” said Huo ChuChu helplessly.
“Others just don’t know him well.”
Gu Shishi’s look became complicated as she listened on.
“So that is why you’ve asked me to draw comics about your childhood? This isn’t for you?
“It is for your brother? You want to get to know him better?”
Huo ChuChu looked uneasy all of a sudden.
She twisted the bedsheet.
“Half and half, I guess… I would like it as a keepsake as well. After all, I don’t get to see my big brother all the time.
“And, you were right. I had not only hurt myself with how I had handled things in the past but I have also hurt my brother.
“I’ll change going forward. I’ll give myself time and also give my brother time. I’ll wait for him to come out of his shell on his own when he is ready.”
Gu Shishi nodded.
Then she noticed the eager look on Huo ChuChu as she looked at her.
As though she was her savior.
Gu Shishi pointed at herself dubiously.
Huo ChuChu grunted an acknowledgement. “I felt that… my brother is more open to you getting close to him. Perhaps you hold the key to his future. I saw how the two of you interacted last night and I heard this voice telling me that if you can’t become my sister-in-law… then nobody can.”
Huo ChuChu just felt pain on her cheeks.
Welp, what other options did she have?
She was too stubborn in the past and had spewed a lot of hurtful words at Gu Shishi, her future sister-in-law.
And now it’s payback time.
Gu Shishi, on the other hand, felt a tingling on her scalp as soon as she heard the words “last night”.
She was just about to shake her hands when her cellphone started vibrating.
She took a look at it and it was the boss replying to her earlier message.
[Life-Saving Boss: My study. 7 PM tonight.]
Gu Shishi, “! ! !”
That wasn’t how it was supposed to go.
She asked him to press 1 if he was mad at her!
What did summoning her to his study mean?
Gu Shishi covered up her collar all of a sudden.
And shuddered as she looked up.
