“…”

She blinked and said pitifully, "Or you keep doing it, I won't quarrel at you."

"Forget it, it's very late." Gu Mingxi looked up at her, and he was completely angry. "Go to sleep."

Before going to bed, he had to wash his face and brush his teeth to go to the bathroom. Pang Qian helped Gu Mingxi prepare a new toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste for him. Gu Mingxi stood by the washbasin, put his right foot on the edge of the basin, and clamped his toothbrush on his toes, and leaned down to brush his teeth.

At Pang Qian's house, no matter what he does, he is not as good as he is at home. Therefore, Gu Mingxi also acquiesced to Pang Qian's help, such as after brushing her teeth, she took a cup to let him drink water and rinse his mouth. Finally, Pang Qian twisted a hot towel to help Gu Mingxi wash his face.

Gu Mingxi hasn't been helping with trivial matters like washing faces and brushing teeth for a long time, and even Li Han won't care about these matters. So, when Pang Qian stood in front of him and helped him wipe his face with a warm towel, Gu Mingxi felt a strange feeling. He knew that this was a very intimate behavior, and not everyone would be willing to help him do such a thing, and he would not accept the help of most people in this regard.

These were some trivial things within his ability, but he did not reject Pang Qian's help at all. On the contrary, he still enjoyed it.

Who told her to kick me just now? This is compensation, Gu Mingxi thought so in his heart.

When the two of them were lying in their own bed, their minds were somewhat subtle.

Pang Qian is a girl, this is her boudoir, but now there is a big boy sleeping on the ground in her room. His quilt occasionally sounds, occasionally pressing his throat and coughing. Most of the time, he just breathes evenly. In the dark room, the breathing sound of a man is very obvious.

Pang Qian felt a little uncomfortable, Gu Mingxi was even more uncomfortable than her. Even if the family affairs bothered him, he was just a young man with a strong spirit, almost seventeen years old. At this moment, Gu Mingxi couldn't help feeling a little throbbing when he thought of the girl sleeping on the bed beside him.

Then, he felt that he was too dirty and felt ashamed.

One of them was on the bed and the other was on the ground, and they were tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

Gu Mingxi's head was in a mess. At this time, Pang Qian spoke: "Gu Mingxi, have you slept?"

"No." He replied.

"I want to say something to you."

Her tone was a little serious and a little nervous. Gu Mingxi felt a little nervous and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I...I don't know what to say." Pang Qian held the quilt and bit her lip, "Gu Mingxi, I, I..."

Gu Mingxi waited silently. He was curious, but he didn't urge him to give her enough time.

Pang Qian finally spoke: "I want to apologize to you."

This was something Gu Mingxi didn't expect, and asked back: "Apology?"

"I have never apologized to you." Pang Qian's voice was timid and spoke slowly. "Even if I hadn't thrown the Frisbee on the transformer back then, you wouldn't have lost both hands. If your hands were still there, your parents wouldn't have quarreled now. Although I know that apologizing is actually useless, I have never apologized to you. I... I dare not, I am afraid that you will scold me. Although you are usually nice to me, I really don't know if you blame me in your heart. I pretended to have forgotten what happened at that time, but I actually dare not think about it and dare not tell you. I... Gu Mingxi, actually I don't ask you to forgive me, I allow you to blame me in your heart, but I still want to say to you today, Gu Mingxi, I'm sorry."

A long, long silence.

Pang Qian's tears fell, but she didn't cry. She hid her head in the quilt and didn't dare to listen to the movements under the bed. She hoped that he would fall asleep, but didn't hear her words. She even hoped that he could jump up and scold her fiercely. Perhaps she would feel a little more comfortable if this happened.

There was a sound under the bed. Pang Qian pulled open the quilt and looked at it secretly with her eyes exposed. She was surprised because Gu Mingxi really shook the quilt and sat up.

Pang Shuisheng's pajamas are thickened and fleece, and they cannot be worn when they sleep. After turning off the lights, Gu Mingxi quietly took off his pajamas and pajamas, leaving only a pair of boxer shorts.

He sat on the floor with the bedding scattered under his body. In the dark room, Pang Qian could see his naked upper body. Although she had only one outline, she could also feel that Gu Mingxi's body was much stronger than the summer a year and a half ago.

His shoulders were wider and his skeleton was large. Although he did not have tangled muscles, his lines were smooth. He was undergoing the final transformation before adulthood, like every adolescent teenager.

Gu Mingxi didn't say anything. After a long time, he sighed and turned to look at Pang Qian. Pang Qian covered the quilt on his head again. Gu Mingxi laughed, and a soft laugh, a clear voice as clear as a spring water, saying: "Apologize, you must also be a little sincere, what's the point of hiding?"

Pang Qian pulled down the quilt with her mouth puffed. Instead, she wrapped the quilt and squirmed on the bed, changing directions, folded her arms under her chin, and lay on the bed to watch him.

At such a height, they can be regarded as a straight-up view. Gu Mingxi is a little taller than Pang Qian. He looked at Pang Qian with a smile, his eyes flashing with a breathtaking light in the darkness.

Then, he leaned slightly, his forehead gently touched Pang Qian's forehead, and then separated in an instant. Pang Qian's face burned for no reason. She looked at him in a daze and heard Gu Mingxi say clearly: "Okay, I accept your apology, I forgive you."

When the sunlight shone into Pang Qian's room through the curtains, Gu Mingxi had already woken up for a while.

He had something to do in his mind, and was in a strange room again, so he must not be able to sleep well, so he simply got out of the quilt and looked at the alarm clock on Pang Qian's bedside table. It was only half past six. The girl was sleeping soundly in the bed wrapped in the quilt, making a slight snoring sound. She turned her back to Gu Mingxi, and he could only see her black hair scattered with a pillow.

The weather was so cold and it was a holiday again. Gu Mingxi knew that Pang Qian loved to stay in bed, so he didn't want to disturb her. He grabbed his pajamas and pants on his shoulders, and slipped out of the room with his cheeks and shoulders.

Pang Shuisheng and Jin Aihua seemed to have not gotten up. Gu Mingxi went into the bathroom, locked the door, and began to slowly handle his own business. He was only wearing a pair of shorts, which was so cold that he had to patiently solve his physiological problems.

Usually, Gu Mingxi goes to the bathroom when he wakes up in the morning, tilting his head and holding the "Buqiu Renren" in his arms. Using the power of his shoulders to control the angle, he can accurately lift his underwear with tools while sleepy, and then use "Buqiu Renren" to support his little sparrow in his hand to pee.

This is something that others think is extremely difficult and very difficult. He is already very skilled in doing it. It has been ten years since the amputation, and Gu Mingxi has long been accustomed to using various strange postures and methods to do things.

But this time, he still encountered some difficulties because he was wearing boxer underwear, and the edge of his crotch was close to his thighs, making it difficult to lift it up. Gu Mingxi was never irritable when doing these things. He tried patiently several times but failed to lift the edge of his pants. He could only decide to take off his underwear and pee like the night before.

Taking off your pants is also a laborious process. The underwear is very short and difficult to pull. There are no auxiliary equipment installed on the wall of Pang Qian’s bathroom. Gu Mingxi can only lift his feet to the maximum extent, stretch his instep, and the soles of his feet are close to his thighs. He uses his toes to pull the lower edge of his underwear.

He stood in the bathroom with one leg and jumped around, his body shaking constantly. It took him ten minutes to pull off his underwear, and his right instep was a little bit painful.

After peeing, Gu Mingxi stood and rested for a while, and then used "Buqi Ren" to help him put on his underwear. Fortunately, compared to taking off his pants, wearing pants is much easier.

While he was not wearing pajamas, Gu Mingxi decided to wash his face and brush his teeth first. He was naked. Although it was cold, he was easy to do things. While brushing his teeth, Gu Mingxi looked up at himself in his glasses. After sleeping all night, his hair was a little messy. At this time, his mouth was covered with toothpaste foam, and a small rub of foam stained his cheeks. He subconsciously tilted his head, raised his shoulders and wiped it away.

His gaze was frozen on his shoulders, and there were scars left after amputation surgery on his left and right shoulders, and under his armpits. They were traces of skin suture, wrapping the broken bones inside.

Li Han once said countless times in his ears that if the amputation surgery could have helped Gu Mingxi keep a piece of his upper arm, even if it was only twenty centimeters or even ten centimeters, it would have been of great help to his life. But the reality is so cruel. Gu Mingxi's arms were intercepted at the same root, and no residual limbs were left behind.

He had long since remembered how his hands felt. Seeing others holding things with their hands and doing things, Gu Mingxi didn't even have any idea. When he saw something, his first reaction was to raise his right foot to touch it. His toes were slender, flexible and powerful. Although they could not be controlled as they would, and they could not be comparable to the flexibility of ordinary people's hands and fingers, for Gu Mingxi, he still liked and trusted his two feet very much.

Putting down his toothbrush on his toes, he picked up his cup to rinse his mouth. At this moment, there was a sound of slippers outside the bathroom door, and the door handle sounded. People outside found someone in the bathroom and slapped the door: "Who is inside? Mom is you? You open the door first and let me pee, I'm so anxious!"

Gu Mingxi spitted out the water from his mouth and said, "Pangpang, it's me, I'll be fine soon, you can wait a moment."

Hearing Gu Mingxi's voice, Pang Qian immediately remained silent. After a while, she said, "Then hurry up, call me."

Gu Mingxi quickly rinsed his mouth, then used his right foot to pick up a towel and took water to wipe his face. He stood on one leg and couldn't tuck the towel, so he ignored it and started wearing pajamas with a wet face.

Pang Qian did not urge him again, but Gu Mingxi felt a little anxious. He wanted to wear faster, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't wear it well. He was afraid that Pang Qian wouldn't wait, so he opened the door after he was angry. Pang Qian stood at the door and laughed out loud when he saw him: "Gu Mingxi, why did you wear your clothes like this?"

Gu Mingxi knew how he looked and was embarrassed, so he wanted to go back to the room to clean up, but was stopped by Pang Qian.

She carefully pulled his top, leveled his shoulder line, and pulled his twisted pants again. Gu Mingxi's face gradually turned red. Pang Qian looked up at him and smiled brightly: "Good morning, Gu Mingxi!"

Because Gu Mingxi is here, Pang Qian is no longer bedtime, so she simply washes her face and brushes her teeth after going to the bathroom. Not long after, Pang Shuisheng and Jin Aihua also get up. Jin Aihua washes clothes, Pang Shuisheng makes breakfast, and the four of them sit at the table together and eat vegetable, meat, wontons and pickled pancakes.

"Mingxi has loved eating pancakes made by his uncle since he was a child, right?" Pang Shuisheng was in a good mood. "In the future, if he lives far away, he will not eat much. I will eat more in the past few days."

Gu Mingxi pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

The family atmosphere of Pang Qian's family is completely different from that of his family. Pang Shuisheng always says that he is a rough man, speaks loudly, is enthusiastic and righteous. Jin Aihua is a typical knives and a slander. They have raised a Pang Qian, who is as nervous as Pang Shuisheng, carefree, and as domineering and fierce as Jin Aihua, kind and simple.

The three of them were laughing at the dining table. Pang Shuisheng would give his daughter a thriller, and Jin Aihua would also scold Pang Qian for not having a good meal, but Pang Qian would still act coquettishly towards them.

In Gu Mingxi's memory, after being injured and amputated, he never acted coquettishly with his father because Gu Guoxiang was always very strict with him, especially during the early stages of his injury. Gu Guoxiang was almost cruel and harsh during the period when he was trained to do things with his feet.

At that time, Gu Mingxi stayed in the hospital for a month and a half and was finally discharged from the hospital and returned home. It was not until this time that Gu Guoxiang, who was far away in France, took leave and returned to his country to visit him.

Seeing the empty sleeves under his shoulders of his son, who was only six years old, Gu Guoxiang felt like he was struck by lightning. He didn't speak for a long time, and finally walked to the balcony and smoked a whole night.

After Gu Mingxi could get out of bed, he realized that there were too many things that became different.

He couldn't walk anymore and couldn't walk straight. He rushed to the side. After walking a few steps, he either hit the wall or fell to the ground. He couldn't even sit steadily. He sat on the chair very well, and suddenly he would fall to the ground and couldn't get up no matter how he climbed.

He could not eat and dress by himself, brush his teeth and wash his face, go to the bathroom and take a bath. All this knowledge made Gu Mingxi feel extremely frightened. He found that without the help of his parents, he seemed to be unable to do anything.

His temper began to become irritable. Every day he cried and clamored to install a robotic arm. He wanted to go to school. He would use his head to push the things on the table to the ground, and spit out the food that Li Han had fed into his mouth everywhere. He would cry all night, making his throat hoarse... In the end, he became silent again, just sitting at home in a daze every day.

After Gu Mingxi refused to eat again, Gu Guoxiang snatched the bowl from Li Han's hand and said, "It's okay if he doesn't eat it. I'm hungry. I'll see if he eats it."

Gu Mingxi was also very stubborn and hungry for a whole day and night. Li Han burst into tears with heartache, but Gu Guoxiang always stopped her from feeding Gu Mingxi.

The next morning, when Gu Guoxiang and Li Han were having breakfast, Gu Mingxi stumbled to them, looking at the porridge on the table and drooled. Gu Guoxiang brought him a small chair, put a bowl of porridge on the coffee table, and then put a spoon, saying, "If you want to eat, eat it yourself."

Gu Mingxi stared at him blankly, and Li Han couldn't help but say, "Guoxiang..."

"Do you want to feed him for the rest of your life?" Gu Guoxiang's eyes shone with a cold light behind the lens. He looked at Gu Mingxi, who was over six years old. He was simply heartless. "Dad, no matter what method you use, you must eat this bowl of rice yourself."

That was the first time Gu Mingxi had eaten by himself after losing his arm.

He didn't use his feet to hold a spoon, he didn't know, nor could he have thought. He just sat in front of the coffee table and reached the small bowl with his mouth to eat porridge. He was too hungry and didn't care about anything. His tongue stretched out long and licked the porridge with a snoring. After eating the top layer, his tongue couldn't lick the bottom. In desperation, he bit the edge of the bowl and let the bowl tilt. Unsurprisingly, the bowl fell and the porridge made him covered in it.

Gu Guoxiang acquiesced Li Han to help Gu Mingxi clean his body. His young son kept crying, but Gu Guoxiang just brought him a bowl of porridge and said, "Mingxi, try it, eat it with a spoon with his feet."

This is the beginning of Gu Mingxi's life with his feet.

In that month, a very common scene was when Gu Mingxi was crying while whining, putting his small feet on a small chair, and scooping rice into his mouth with a spoon on his toes. His toes were small and short, and it was difficult to hold the spoon tightly, and the rice would sprinkle everywhere.

He touched the bowl and threw the spoon off. He couldn't eat. Gu Guoxiang said to him: "If you can't eat yourself, then wait for hunger. We won't come to feed you."

The young Gu Mingxi didn't know why his father was so fierce to him. He also wanted to have a good meal, but he had no hands. Don't people eat with their hands? His hands are gone, why do they eat with their feet?

Gu Guoxiang was at home for a month, and Gu Mingxi cried for a month. As he cried, he learned to eat with his feet, and later he learned to do other things with his feet. He practiced pressing his legs, splitting, stretching, and sitting on the floor. Li Han pressed his upper body against his legs, ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour... The cold sweat soaked Gu Mingxi's small body, but he gritted his teeth hard and would never cry again.

Gu Guoxiang pinched the watch beside him: "Time is up, you can rest."

Gu Mingxi felt that although it was very hard at that time, although his father was very fierce, and his mother kept crying, it was also a wonderful period. Because the three of them were always together.

Maybe there will be no such opportunity in the future.

From the morning, Gu Mingxi felt dizzy, his throat was dry and itchy. During lunch, he was not very entertaining and looked depressed and exhausted.
