Zhizhi, quick, take a look at your Moments." In my head, Chubby Chiu suddenly spoke up excitedly.
Gu Zhiqi listened, opened her Moments to take a look, and indeed, the status that had only a few likes earlier had now gathered over twenty likes.
As expected, all the likes from her WeChat friends were there, including Chubby Chiu’s which was the first, followed by Su Yunling’s.
Gu Zhiqi looked at the status that had abruptly gained over twenty likes and raised her brows, "Did you do this?"
"I secretly helped them like your post, Zhizhi. Go buy some milk tea, and once you’re done, I’ll cancel their likes, so they won’t find out," Chubby Chiu said and then chuckled twice.
In the end, she didn’t accept those red packets. After buying the milk tea, she sipped it while messaging Su Yunling.
[Child: Thank you, brother]
Then she exited WeChat, and not stopping there, to stop herself from opening those red packets, she logged out of her account as well.
"Zhizhi, why didn’t you accept those red packets?" Chubby Chiu expressed its surprise at Gu Zhiqi’s decision not to accept the red packets.
Gu Zhiqi replied languidly, "I suddenly thought of a very serious issue."
Chubby Chiu with a puzzled face, "Hmm? What issue?"
Gu Zhiqi spoke solemnly, "If I accepted their red packets, there would be too many ties that bind, what if I can’t leave this world when it’s time?"
The question was a good one, and I didn’t know how to answer either.
When Gu Zhiqi got home, it was already six in the evening.
As soon as she walked into the living room, she heard Gu Changchuan’s voice, "Daughter, you’re back?"
Gu Zhiqi replied with a soft "Hmm."
"Come, come over, let’s have a father-daughter chat," Gu Changchuan said, seated on the sofa, gently beckoning to Gu Zhiqi.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi stepped towards Gu Changchuan and then took a seat beside him.
After Gu Zhiqi sat down, Gu Changchuan didn’t start the conversation right away but instead went to the kitchen.
When he came back, he had a fruit platter in hand, "Here, daughter, have some fruit. We’re just chatting casually, no need to be nervous."
Gu Changchuan said as he handed the fruit platter he brought from the kitchen to Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi indicated that she wasn’t nervous at all.
She took the fruit platter Gu Changchuan handed her and thanked him sweetly, "Thank you, Dad."
Seeing this, a smile touched the corners of Gu Changchuan’s eyes, and then he thought of something, cleared his throat, and asked Gu Zhiqi somewhat seriously, "This afternoon, the driver said he didn’t pick you up. Did you have something else to do?"
She still has a driver to pick her up after school?
Guessing from Gu Zhiqi’s reaction, Gu Changchuan confirmed his suspicions.
The girl must have forgotten because of her amnesia that a driver would pick her up from school. It was his oversight for not telling her in the morning, "Dad can’t pick you and Yueyue up every day, so from now on, the driver will take you. You just need to wait at school to be picked up after class," he explained.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi nodded lightly and responded with a "Okay."
Seeing Gu Zhiqi nod, Gu Changchuan continued to ask, "After you came back, did Luoluo or Huaijin tell you about the situation at home?"
It was Gu Yuluo and Gu Huaijin who told him about the girl’s memory loss, but he hadn’t understood the details yet.
Even Gu Yuluo and Gu Huaijin couldn’t explain clearly, so it was still up to him to talk to the young girl.
Otherwise, he always felt, ever since his daughter came back, she seemed distant from the family.
Especially since today, his daughter actually didn’t accept his red packet.
That indicated the problem was significant! Very significant!
