Chapter 939: Chapter 940: Falling off the Roof… Chapter 939: Chapter 940: Falling off the Roof… A child’s longing for their mother seems to be an innate instinct.
Xingxing had never t her own mother.
But the yearning and longing in her eyes were so genuine.
Whenever the word “mother” was ntioned, her eyes and brows couldn’t help but curve upwards with joy.
Watching little Xingxing like this, Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
How could anyone bear to part with such an adorable child?
Perhaps there was an unavoidable hardship?
As her thoughts were swirling, Gu Qichen also ca up.
He sat down right on the edge.
With Xia Yangyang sitting on the far left, the two children in the middle, and Gu Qichen on the right,
the four of them looked up at the starry sky.
Their spirits lifted rapidly.
Little Xingxing chattered away like a little magpie.
Her sweet and clear voice seed to float everywhere in the tranquil courtyard.
The night breeze was a bit chilly.
After sitting on the roof for a while, Xia Yangyang said, “Let’s go down, it’s a bit cold at night, and easy to catch a cold.”
Little Xingxing and Xia Ye obediently stood up, preparing to go down.
It was Gu Qichen’s first ti descending the ladder.
And then he waited below.
The two children climbed down slowly.
Little Xingxing was naturally agile.
She swiftly climbed down, then waved from below, “Xia Ye brother, co down quickly.”
Xia Ye also ca down.
After which, little Xingxing directly took Xia Ye’s hand and went inside.
However, Xia Yangyang was still standing on the edge of the roof preparing to climb down.
Gu Qichen did not follow the two children away.
Probably due to gentlemanly manners, he continued to wait there.
Xia Yangyang thought to herself that she was not a child, nothing untoward would happen.
But just as she thought this, one of her feet had already stepped onto the ladder.
As she was about to lower her other foot, she heard a clear crack.
A rung of the ladder had actually broken.
Xia Yangyang lost her footing and tumbled down.
However, fortunately, Gu Qichen was quick to react and caught her in his arms just before she hit the ground.
But due to the force of gravity, Gu Qichen ended up falling to the ground.
Xia Yangyang landed heavily on top of him.
Xia Yangyang’s cheek was almost pressed against Gu Qichen’s chest.
She heard a muffled sound.
It seed to have co from Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang was completely unscathed.
But she knew how heavy her fall had been.
It was all because Gu Qichen had cushioned her fall with his body.
Xia Yangyang quickly lifted her head, “Gu Qichen, Gu Qichen, are you okay?”
Yet there Gu Qichen lay with his eyes closed, completely unresponsive.
Xia Yangyang was truly terrified.
Had Gu Qichen hit his head in the fall?
Xia Yangyang started to vigorously pat Gu Qichen’s face, “Gu Qichen, wake up, please wake up.”
Her voice was already quivering with a sobbing tone.
At that mont, fear in her heart magnified imnsely.
Her heart felt like it was going to leap out of her chest.
Xia Yangyang planned to quickly get up and call for help.
But at that mont, Gu Qichen suddenly opened his eyes, “I’m fine, but you’re going to swell up my face with all that slapping.”
Xia Yangyang looked into Gu Qichen’s deep and lucid eyes, which showed no sign of him being in trouble.
Turned out, he had just been playing a prank to scare her.
For a mont, Xia Yangyang was stunned, her whole body relaxed, filled with imnse relief.
But then she felt inexplicably angry.
Xia Yangyang quickly climbed off Gu Qichen, not saying a word, and turned to enter the house.
