Yi Mo looked around but didn't see anyone, then went to the bedroom.
Looking at the person lying on the bed in the bedroom, Yi Mo furrowed her brows lightly. The person's complexion was very pale, even in their sleep, their eyebrows were tightly knitted.
She took the thin blanket from the side and gently covered Gu Zechen with it, then quietly left the bedroom.
Just as the dishes were prepared, I saw someone emerging from the bedroom. Yi Mo smiled brightly and said, "Brother Chen, it's time to eat!"
Gu Zechen nodded lightly and his gaze fell on the dining table, giving Yi Mo a approving smile.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Yi Mo stepped forward and helped Gu Zechen pull out a chair, then waited for him to sit down before triumphantly placing a chopstickful of food into the dish in front of Gu Zechen.
"Brother Chen, this is the first time I'm doing this. Give it a try?"
Gu Zechen raised his eyes, shook his head slightly, and looked at Yi Mo. Yi Mo instantly felt aggrieved and said, "Fine, I won't call you Brother Chen anymore. But after so many years, how can you expect me to change all of a sudden?"
Gu Zechen helplessly wiggled his index finger at Yi Mo, but he was immediately caught by her grasp. "Alright, I get it. One last time, I promise, I won't call anymore in the future."
Gu Zechen nodded and then picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
Seeing Gu Zechen's clear and bright eyes, Yi Mo's smile became even happier. She pulled over a chair and sat down beside Gu Zechen, and they started eating together.
After the meal, Yi Mo cleaned up the tableware and put them in the sterilization cabinet before wiping her hands and walking out of the kitchen.
"Brother Chen...Brother, I'll take a nap. Wake me up when it's time." Seeing Gu Zechen nod, Yi Mo turned and headed towards the bedroom.
A person indulged themselves on the big bed, kissing the taste of sunshine. Yi Mo turned over and took out a photo album from the bedside cabinet, and started looking at it while lying on the bed.
On the first page of the album, there was a photo of a little child with a runny nose, appearing to be around five or six years old.
The clothes worn on the body are old, but they are clean. Standing beside is a child of around twelve or thirteen years old, thin and weak, but with exceptionally bright eyes.
Yimo reached out and gently touched the face of the tall boy in the photograph. He then lowered his head and planted a kiss on the corner of the boy's raised lips, murmuring, "Chen gege, when will you finally accept me?"
Lying on the bed with my face up, pressing the photo against my chest, the memories surged and brought me back to that snowy era.
Yi Mo was an orphan who was abandoned at the doorstep of the welfare home during a heavy snowfall winter.
He still remembers that year when he was three years old. Besides crying, he doesn't remember anything else at all.
He didn't know who his parents were, didn't know why he had been abandoned, and had even less of an idea of what direction his future path would take.
The life in the welfare institute was very difficult. They often couldn't eat well or dress warmly. However, Yimo was living happily because he had met an older brother, who was also an orphan.
The scenes in memory have become blurry. Yi Mo only remembers following that big brother all day long, calling out "Gege, Gege." The other person would always look at themselves with a gentle expression, holding a biscuit, or a piece of candy, or a small chunk of meat.
Yi Mo touched his lips and vowed that it was the best thing he had ever eaten in his life, even though he had long forgotten the taste.
At that time, Yi Mo always found it strange. Why did Brother Chen always have a gentle look on his face but never spoke a word?
Until later on, Yi Mo only found out that Brother Chen couldn't speak. It was precisely because of this reason that his family abandoned him.
