Along the way, Gu Qingqing ate snacks and chatted with Gu Mu about filming.

Although she couldn't understand some of what he was saying, she listened attentively as he talked about filming.

She felt that what he lacked was an audience, not ideas for him.

Gu Qingqing was unaware that she had been targeted by Qiao Ziyang. Being targeted by him was a terrifying thing, as he would be relentless, unscrupulous, and disregard the consequences in order to achieve his goals.

The van drove for two hours before finally arriving at the location for filming.

It is a picturesque little village with a maple forest that turns golden every autumn and a waterfall with a drop of 30 meters.

The scene Gu Mu is filming these past two days is at this location. The plot involves him playing an ancient general who, during a battle, is betrayed by his comrades. During the fight with the enemy general, he falls into a waterfall and is carried by the river to a small village.

He was rescued by the second female lead who was washing clothes by the river, but he mistakenly believed that the female lead was his savior and fell in love with the beautiful female lead.

The misunderstanding between the three, coupled with the love triangle, led to the second female lead becoming the villainous second female lead, while the female lead became the general's wife, enjoying the wealth and luxury that the second female lead could have had!

The second female lead was naturally dissatisfied and constantly targeted and framed the female lead. In the end, she became the emperor's concubine, ruled the harem, controlled the court, killed the emperor and several crown princes, and successfully ascended to the throne as empress.

The story plunges the court, the country, and the common people into misery. With the support of the female lead, the male lead leads tens of thousands of soldiers and troops to establish himself as king. After a year of fighting against the second female lead, the male lead seizes the world and ascends the throne. In the end, the second female lead commits suicide by poison, bringing the story to a close.

Gu Qingqing said that the plot was so melodramatic, and all three of them were at fault, not just the second female lead.

Gu Qingqing said that the plot was too melodramatic, and the mistakes were not entirely the fault of the second female lead; the male and female leads also made mistakes.

"Let's rest first, there's no rush." ​​Gu Mu led her out of the car and into a small three-story hotel, which looked quite new, probably only a few years old.

This small hotel is run by villagers, and it usually attracts many tourists.

He prepared a very clean guest room for her, and she was so tired that she lay down on the bed to rest, sprawled out on her back, not caring about her appearance at all.

Seeing that she was exhausted, Gu Mu went to the bathroom to get her a wet towel and helped her wipe her face and hands.

"Second brother, you're so kind." Gu Qingqing smiled foolishly.

"Silly girl, if I'm not good to you, who else can I be good to?" Gu Mu gently wiped each of her slender white fingers with a towel.

She blinked her beautiful, watery eyes at his face; his androgynous handsome face could charm countless young girls, young women, and even middle-aged women and grandmothers.

Even at such close range, she couldn't find any large pores or pimples on his face.

It was as clean as a mirror.

"Second brother, you're so handsome." After praising him, she realized that the three Gu brothers each had their own unique features, but upon closer inspection, they could also find similarities, such as when they made the same expression and looked at the same eyes, they were remarkably alike.

But she doesn't seem to have anything in common with them; she doesn't have similar facial features to the three of them.

"Qingqing, do you like your second brother's face?" Gu Mu put down the towel and looked into her eyes.

"I like her, anyone would like her! She's so beautiful, you can't find many like her in the whole country!" Gu Qingqing smiled and even put her arms around Gu Mu's neck.

"Thinking about the day my second brother gets married, I feel like no one in this world is good enough for you. Someone as beautiful as you can't possibly marry someone too ugly! Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to take you out like that."

"Hehehe..." Gu Mu couldn't help but laugh, but the thought of getting married and having children one day made him feel both sad and disgusted.

He would never get married, absolutely.

"Don't worry! Second brother won't get married."

"What? Second brother, you don't want to get married?" This startled Gu Qingqing. She wanted him to be happy. How could there be a happy family if he didn't get married?

Gu Jin and Gu En will definitely get married and have children. If he is the only one who doesn't get married, he will have to live and eat by himself.

How lonely and isolated must that be?

Then she won't be able to complete her mission.

So you can't go back to your original world?

It seems she's going to find herself a second sister-in-law.

The book doesn't mention whether Gu Mu has a girl he likes, although it does mention that many girls like him and he has many suitors.

However, in the book, the three brothers died young, so none of them dated or married and had children.

So where does she have to find them wives?

Where are her eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law?

"Qingqing, are you unhappy?" Gu Mu didn't like her surprised reaction. What era are we living in now?

Throughout history, there have been many people who choose not to marry, and even among those who do marry, many choose to remain childless.

Moreover, experts predict that the number of single people will increase in the future, which is a very normal social phenomenon.

"Yeah, I'm not happy." Gu Qingqing answered truthfully. Although she was an orphan before she transmigrated into the book and had never experienced family affection, she longed for a complete and happy family of her own.

She has a handsome husband who loves her and is gentle and affectionate, and two lovely and smart daughters and sons.

I don't seek wealth and fame, I only wish for a happy and fulfilling family life.

I think everyone would yearn for this kind of life!

Seeing Gu Mu pursing his lips and remaining silent with a solemn expression, Gu Qingqing couldn't understand why he didn't want to get married, or even date.

The book doesn't mention them, since they aren't the main characters and the author didn't describe them in detail.

"Second brother, why don't you want to get married? Are you afraid of the trouble? Starting a small family does involve a lot of responsibility, but the effort and the reward are proportional."

She also knew that starting a family was not easy and that the responsibilities on her shoulders were heavy. With an additional wife and two children, she would have to be responsible for their living expenses, take care of them, and protect them.

Unlike when I was single, when I was the only one eating and the whole family wasn't hungry.

Does he not like women?

Is he gay?

The thought of this situation filled Gu Qingqing with mixed feelings; she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

This isn't something to be happy about, but it's not something to be extremely sad about either.

It's okay to like someone; it's something you can't control. It just so happens that that person is the same gender as you.

"Qingqing, my second brother just doesn't want to get married. There aren't many reasons. When you're single, you can eat whatever you want and sleep whenever you want. Even if I were to get married someday, it would be after I'm forty and I'd be tired of having fun. Maybe then I'll start my own little family, but not now."

After Gu Mu finished speaking, he hugged her, not wanting her to see his tears.

Falling in love with someone you can't love back, someone you can't have but can't have, is both the happiest and the most painful thing.

"Alright! Second brother, I respect your decision and thoughts. As long as you are happy, I am happy. Life is short, cherishing the present is the most important thing."

Gu Qingqing was unusually melancholic, so she didn't notice anything unusual about Gu Mu.
