Memories surfaced in his mind one after another.
Qingshan Welfare Institute was the place where Ye Liuli grew up and stayed for fifteen years!
It was also here that she met Ye Tian's brother and depended on him for survival. From then on, her heart was filled with one more concern: kinship.
Ye Liuli had sacrificed too much for this kinship.
But she never regretted it, at least not now.
But why did Young Master Gu…bring him here?
"Get out of the car."
Gu Yan didn't say anything more. He opened the car door and got out.
Ye Liuli, on the other hand, followed Gu Yan into the Qingshan Welfare Institute with doubts in her heart.
Just as they entered the main entrance.
An old man with gray hair and a cane walked up to Gu Yan with a smile.
He raised his cane and smiled kindly at Gu Yan. He said respectfully,"Young Master Gu, it's an honor to have you here at the Green Mountain Welfare Institute.”
"This is…"
As he spoke, he began to size up Ye Liuli. A hint of nostalgia rose in his expression, and then he said in surprise,""Ye Liuli? Are you Little Ye?"
"Hello, Director Zhang."
Ye Liuli seemed to have mixed feelings, so she greeted the old man out of courtesy.
"I didn't expect Little Ye to be by Young Master Gu's side now.”Director Zhang exclaimed and shook his head in self-mockery.
He didn't say much and just led the way obediently.
Gu Yan and Ye Liuli followed behind.
Along the way, the children from the orphanage, from three years old to twenty years old, all stood at the side and watched Gu Yan and Ye Liuli quietly, not daring to breathe loudly.
There were even many children who saw that Gu Yan was following Ye Liuli. They did not care about anything else and ran away, afraid of being discovered.
Ye Liuli also saw many familiar faces.
Those children who bullied her when she was young, put bugs in her vegetables, splashed mud on her, and acted arrogantly now looked at her with fear, even fear.
Even Director Zhang, who used to be high and mighty in his eyes and did not care about other children bullying him, was now obediently walking in front and leading the way for him.
Happy?
No, Ye Liuli was not happy.
Because she knew that all of this was because of Master Gu!
It had nothing to do with him.
But now that she was back, Ye Liuli couldn't help but think of Ye Tian, the boy who had protected her when she was young and never let anyone touch her.
She missed Ye Tian, but it wasn't as strong as she had imagined.
On the contrary, it was because he thought of Ye Tian.
Ye Liuli recalled what happened today and inadvertently quickened her pace, following closely behind Gu Yan.
Ten minutes later.
Director Zhang brought the two of them to the backyard of the female dormitory.
It was a very small playground. The running track and sports equipment were all new. It seemed that they had been renovated recently.
"Let's stop here."
Gu Yan nodded at Director Zhang.
"Alright, you guys chat. If there's anything, feel free to look for me.”Director Zhang also smiled respectfully and left immediately.
Gu Yan looked around." Do you still remember where we are?”
"I remember. When I was at the welfare institute, I always liked to come here alone to look at the moon.”Ye Liuli's beautiful eyes flashed with nostalgia.
"Then do you still remember what you buried under the tree eight years ago today?”
Gu Yan smiled gently, then picked up a shovel in the corner and walked towards the willow tree beside the field.
When Ye Liuli heard this, she was stunned for a full minute before she stared at Gu Yan's back.
He brought her here for this…
Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She immediately ran up and snatched the shovel from Gu Yan's hand stubbornly." Master Gu, you can't do such a thing."”
Gu Yan didn't stop Ye Liuli either. He watched as she dug into the soil with all her might.
After a while.
A big hole appeared under the willow tree. Ye Liuli bent down and reached into the soil to search for a while. Then, she took out a glass soda bottle!
Other than soil, there was also a piece of yellowed paper.
Ye Liuli poured out the soil and paper.
Gu Yan picked up the piece of paper and opened it.
The handwriting on it was very beautiful, but because it had been too long, the handwriting was a little faint.
However, it was not to the extent that he could not see it clearly.
This was a 'wish list'.
There were a total of ten wishes listed below, such as wanting to eat candied haws until they were full, wanting to catch dolls, and wanting to ride an empty Ferris wheel.
Some of these wishes were even childish.
However, it was a girl's longing for a beautiful future under the starry sky.
That's right.
This wish list belonged to Ye Liuli.
Eight years ago today was Ye Liuli's eleventh birthday.
But she didn't have any friends or companions, nor did she tell Ye Tian's brother. Instead, she ran to the backyard of the dormitory and used a piece of paper and a pen to write down the ten things she wanted to do in the future.
That night, the girl looked up at the starry sky, her eyes filled with hope.
She hid her wish and swore that she would leave the orphanage sooner or later to work and earn money. On her birthday that year, she would fulfill these wishes alone.
But when she walked out of the orphanage a few years later, everything changed.
An antique in exchange for three years of homeless, cold, and hunger!
This year was the fourth year since she left the orphanage, and it was also Ye Liuli's 19th birthday.
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that she would return to take the wish list, not alone, not with Ye Tian, but with Lord Gu!
"I don't know what you like either. Take this list as a gift.”
Gu Yan smiled gently at Ye Liuli." This is what you like, right?”
Ye Liuli looked at the man standing in front of her. She was a little dazed for a moment and felt a lump in her throat.
It was as if something had appeared in his heart and occupied a certain place.
"Let's go and finish it.”
"One afternoon should be enough, right?”
Gu Yan said.
He grabbed Ye Liuli's hand!
The girl's hand was cold, like a perfect piece of jade.
At this moment, he could clearly feel her stiffness, but she did not struggle. Instead, she slowly relaxed.
Ye Liuli's pretty face was flushed red, and her palms were sweaty from nervousness.
Gu Yan's expression was calm as if nothing had happened. He pulled her out of the welfare institute.
Then…
Get in the car and set off!
……
Gu Yan dragged Ye Liuli to look for and do the things on the wish list one by one.
The girl was hesitant at first, but under Gu Yan's guidance, she quickly got into the mood.
In fact…
His performance after entering the state was beyond Gu Yan's expectations!
When she bought the candied haws, she had to bring another portion for Gu Yan in addition to her own portion. She also insisted that Gu Yan eat with her.
When she went to the movies, she would also be moved by the emotional parts. She would lean on Gu Yan's shoulder and cry bitterly. After that, her face would be red. She would frantically wipe away her "crime traces" on Gu Yan's shoulder with a paper.
When she went to eat beef noodles, she would give all the beef in her bowl to Gu Yan. Only when the latter glared at her helplessly did the young girl stop and smile playfully.
She was shy, but when the crowd was crowded, she would still carefully hook her finger around Gu Yan's finger and follow him closely.
She was sensible and didn't fulfill some special wishes, such as " dancing the ballet " or " wearing many little dresses ", because she didn't want Gu Yan to accompany her to do these troublesome things. However, what she said was that she had grown up and was no longer interested in these things.
Gu Yan brought the young girl along as they traveled through the bustling city of Shanghai.
When he was with Ye Liuli, he always felt a sense of youthful vitality, but it was not annoying. On the contrary, it was especially relaxing and comfortable.
Gu Yan's thoughts were simple.
If she was inexperienced, he would bring her to see the world's prosperity…
The afternoon passed in a flash.
It was evening.
Gu Yan brought Ye Liuli to the amusement park in the western part of Shanghai, which had the first giant Ferris wheel in Nine Dragons.
"This is the only plan we have left for today.”
Gu Yan held the wish list and tilted his head to look at Ye Liuli, who was eating cotton candy. He couldn't help but smile." How is it? Are you tired?"
When Ye Liuli heard Gu Yan calling her, she " pulled " her head out of the cotton candy.
The girl's red lips were covered in sugar, and her pretty face was still blushing.
She looked at Gu Yan with a pair of limpid eyes that were sparkling and mesmerizing.
"Young Master Gu, I should be the one asking you this question.”
As she spoke, she looked at the Ferris wheel and then at Gu Yan. She said in a serious and gentle voice,"Young Master Gu, I don't want to take the Ferris wheel anymore. I'll go home and cook for you, okay? I'm really happy today.”
"Young Master Gu, thank you."
"Let's…go back."
Hearing Ye Liuli's words, Gu Yan looked at the Ferris wheel and immediately understood why.
Below the Ferris wheel, there were cameras everywhere. A middle-aged man in a suit with a calm temperament and a resolute face was commanding something around.
Under his instructions.
All kinds of crew members were in an orderly manner.
A man and a woman were also wearing special clothes. They stood under the Ferris wheel and were holding a script in their hands as they went through their lines.
There was no one on the Ferris wheel. The ticket booth was closed, and there was a memorial tablet at the door.
"The Ferris wheel is temporarily closed for commercial use today.”
