Chapter 103
Gu Yueyue and Xiaoxiao sat down in the audience. Both mother and daughter wore masks, and the people sitting next to them were also people in the entertainment industry, so she didn't need to worry too much about being exposed.
Xiao Xiao wanted to eat snacks, but Gu Yueyue wouldn't let her take off her mask, so Xiao Xiao had no choice but to sit obediently in the chair, watching the performance on stage with a bored expression.
Xiaoxiao doesn't understand music or appreciate dance, but magic shows are a pleasant surprise for her.
Unfortunately, after watching it, I found it rather dull.
It wasn't until Xu Yi appeared that Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up with sparkling light. She shook the support item given to her by a kind fan sister and shouted Xu Yi's name from the stage.
Xu Yi was busy with her business and didn't see Xiao Xiao at all. Occasionally, her gaze would sweep over, but it would only linger briefly on Gu Yueyue.
Xiao Xiao, feeling wronged, threw herself into Gu Yueyue's arms, no longer holding up her support sign.
Gu Yueyue listened to Xiao Xiao loudly accusing Xu Yi in her ear, and she was both amused and exasperated. She held Xiao Xiao's wrist and waved the support sign with her.
When Xu Yi saw her lover and daughter on stage, her heart softened and she smiled.
"ah--"
"Xu Yi!"
A smile made her fans cheer and shout for her, almost lifting the roof off the venue.
After Xu Yi left the stage, Zhang Ya led the girl group members onto the stage.
Gu Yueyue led Xiao Xiao away and found Xu Yi removing her makeup backstage.
Xiao Xiao was still angry with Xu Yi. She didn't say a word to Xu Yi when she saw him, and sat down on the soft chair with her arms wrapped around Xiao Oujie's, pouting.
With outsiders present, Gu Yueyue couldn't say much to Xu Yi. She simply acted like a boss visiting the set, solemnly standing guard.
She got a little thirsty and naturally picked up Xu Yi's water glass.
After drinking, she timidly put down her drink and looked around. Everyone was busy working, so probably no one noticed her actions.
Xu Yi watched Gu Yueyue's every move in the mirror. She never expected that the usually calm, composed, and generous Teacher Gu would also have such a charming and cute moment.
It's so cute that you just want to hug her and tease her.
As Xu Yi finished removing her makeup, a commotion arose in the hallway outside.
If you listen carefully, you can hear Shen Ningjiao scolding Zheng Wan. Zheng Wan occasionally responds, but the rest of the time Han Shixue helps Zheng Wan to talk back to Shen Ningjiao, which makes Shen Ningjiao so angry that she roars on the spot.
"Teacher Gu, it's getting late, let's go back." Xu Yi had finished packing, and the staff had left.
Gu Yueyue got up, took Xiaoxiao's hand, and Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, staring angrily at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, bent down and patted her head, "I'll treat you to barbecue tomorrow."
"Alright then. Let's hurry home."
The little one who loves to eat suddenly stopped being angry.
Gu Yueyue: "Wasn't there a get-together?"
"Yes, but I don't want to participate. It's fine if I leave first."
"Let's go home then. I think Xiaoxiao is getting sleepy." Gu Yueyue sat in the back seat with Xiaoxiao. Xu Yi glanced at her through the rearview mirror, her eyes softening.
By the time she got home, it was already past 1 a.m.
Gu Yueyue felt a little regretful that she couldn't make it home to celebrate New Year's Day together.
"Teacher Gu, why don't you help Xiaoxiao wash up? I'll make some late-night snacks." Xu Yi didn't mind not eating herself, but she was worried about Gu Yueyue and Xiaoxiao going hungry.
As a result, Xiaoxiao fell asleep while taking a bath, and Gu Yueyue had to use some effort to carry her to bed.
"Teacher Gu, the noodles are ready." Xu Yi entered the room and looked at Xiao Xiao, who was already asleep. She looked just like Teacher Gu. The soft and cuddly little girl made people feel happy just looking at her.
Xu Yi found it a bit strange, since Xiao Xiao was a sword spirit formed from the essence and blood of Miss Gu, and naturally inherited some of her and Miss Gu's characteristics.
But why does Xiaoxiao look so much like Gu Yueyue in this life, and not at all like Gu Jingjun, the original Gu?
The specific reason is unknown to Xu Yi; perhaps only when Miss Gu regains her memories of her past life will the answer be revealed.
With New Year's Day over, the New Year is just around the corner, and with Xu Yi constantly busy, the days are passing by even faster.
She had finally managed to get some rest, and before she could even spend enough time with Teacher Gu, Xiao Ye called her away with a phone call.
Xu Yi reluctantly sat up in bed. Gu Yueyue heard the noise and came into the room. Seeing that she was already up, she smiled and helped her get her clothes.
The clothes were handed to her, and Xu Yi sighed heavily, reaching out to take them weakly.
Gu Yueyue ruffled her hair. "Don't be sad. Once these few days are over, Xiao Ye will give you a break."
Xu Yi's face was filled with despair, and her whole body exuded weariness and disgust towards her work.
Gu Yueyue held up her sweater and helped her put it on.
Xu Yi's head peeked out from under her collar. After a night of commotion, her already irritated hair was ruffled even more by Gu Yueyue.
With her hair all messy, Xu Yi buried her face in Gu Yueyue's arms. She snuggled against her and said in a muffled voice, "Teacher Gu, I don't want to work anymore."
"Okay, then I won't work. Anyway, I can support you." Gu Yueyue stroked her head, the soft hair giving her the same joy as petting a beloved pet in the morning.
Xu Yi pouted, knelt on the bed with her back straight, and kissed Gu Yueyue's lips. She had been thinking about it for many days, but she didn't finish her work until after 11 p.m. last night. By the time she got home, it was already past 3 a.m. Gu Yueyue wouldn't allow her to continue fooling around and wouldn't let her touch her at all, so she had no choice but to obediently hug each other and fall asleep.
I thought I could spend some quality time together today, but I have to get up as soon as it gets light.
The warmth from the kiss soothed Xu Yi's weary heart, and she quickly rallied herself and dressed.
"Teacher Gu, are you going to take me home today?" Xu Yi asked, looking at Gu Yueyue who was following her out of the bedroom.
"Okay. Here you go."
When two people are in love, longing is never a one-sided affair.
During Xu Yi's busy time, Gu Yueyue missed her dearly.
Xu Yi's mood improved a bit. "Teacher Gu, can you prepare breakfast for me? I haven't had your breakfast in a long time."
Gu Yueyue got up for this very reason; even without her saying so, she wanted to prepare a nutritious and delicious breakfast for her love.
"Go wash up quickly. I'll get ready." Gu Yueyue straightened her collar.
While Xu Yi was having her meal, Ono arrived.
He couldn't wait to tell Xu Yi about today's plans.
Ono explained it once, but when she wanted to confirm the details again, Gu Yueyue interrupted her.
"Alright, alright, there's no rush. Let her eat properly first." Gu Yueyue brought over the warm milk and poured a glass for Xiao Ye as well. "You should drink some too. You've lost weight. You can't risk your health no matter how hard you try."
Ono was stunned. She had followed Gu Yueyue all this way, so what was this amount of work?
When Gu Yueyue was at her busiest, let alone having a proper breakfast, it was difficult for her to even eat a couple of bites of bread after working non-stop.
Ono looked at Xu Yi, who was engrossed in eating, and held back from saying anything.
Gu Yueyue saw Xu Yi out.
Xu Yi started to talk more, "Teacher Gu, please take good care of yourself at home and remember to call me every night."
"Okay, sure."
With Ono still nearby, Gu Yueyue couldn't be too eager and blushed as she agreed to Xu Yi's request.
"Teacher Gu should take the initiative to send me messages."
Xu Yi went out to work a few days ago, which is eight days a week. The two of them only had seven more messages in their WeChat history, six of which were sent by Xu Yi.
Even though she called him every day, Xu Yi was still dissatisfied.
"Okay, I understand. Take care of yourself. Don't push yourself too hard when you practice dancing. You need to rest properly to find your best condition." Gu Yueyue straightened her scarf, her tone changed slightly, and she forced a smile as she said, "Alright, let's get in the car. Don't keep Xiaoye waiting."
Ono, who had been silent until now, smiled and said, "I'm just an employee, how could I dare to get impatient with the boss's wife?"
"You're just being cheeky," Gu Yueyue said with a laugh. "You're so carefree when you're working, look how thin you've become. Your auntie will be heartbroken to see you like that. People outside might think that I, as your boss, don't pay you or feed you."
Ono opened the car door and urged Xu Yi to get in quickly, adding, "My mom would love for me to have more work. She'll feel more at ease if I help you with more things."
"Alright, I'm leaving." Seeing that Gu Yueyue was getting emotional again, Xiao Ye couldn't help but get sentimental so early in the morning, so she quickly got into her car and sped away.
As Gu Yueyue watched the familiar car disappear from view, a void suddenly filled her heart. When she looked away, she was stunned.
She looked around, as if someone was watching her.
There was no one around. Gu Yueyue frowned slightly and pulled her hat down further to cover herself up more completely.
Gu Yueyue returned home, feeling uneasy.
Xiao Xiao just woke up, but she doesn't have the usual groggy feeling when she wakes up; she looks very energetic today.
"Mommy." Xiaoxiao ran into Gu Yueyue's arms, and Gu Yueyue hugged her back. "Baby's awake. Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry." Xiao Xiao hugged her tighter, clinging anxiously to Gu Yueyue. "Is Mommy going out today?"
"I'm not going out today." Gu Yueyue had no plans to go out today, and besides, she felt uneasy outside just now, so she was even less willing to go out.
Because of what she has experienced in the past two years, she now trusts her intuition more and more.
Now her intuition tells her not to wander off, so she might as well stay home with Xiaoxiao.
Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Then can Mommy play with me?"
"Of course." Gu Yueyue kissed her. "But we need to have breakfast first. You go wash up first, and Mom will prepare breakfast, okay?"
"Mommy." Xiao Xiao hugged her tightly and wouldn't let go. Gu Yueyue frowned slightly, somewhat surprised by how clingy Xiao Xiao was today.
Xiao Xiao hugged her neck and kissed her cheek. "I had a nightmare, I was so scared. Can Mommy stay with me and help me brush my teeth?"
"Okay." Gu Yueyue led her to wash up, smiling and coaxing her, "Dreams are all fake. Our baby is the bravest, don't be afraid, okay?"
"Yes. I'm not scared because Mom is with me." Xiao Xiao held her hand tightly, not daring to let go for a moment.

Xiao Xiao tried to communicate with Xu Yi, but Xu Yi didn't respond at all.
