Chapter 22 Know

The beautiful moments in people's hearts are always fleeting. Time passed by minute by minute. At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them were still sitting in each other's arms, as if they could stay like this forever, if they were not hungry.

"Yin'er, can you go to bed and rest for a while? Your husband has to go cook." Gu Wan helped Liu Yin'er up from his arms and teased.

"Awan, I'm not hungry. I don't want you to cook." Liu Yiner shook her head gently, clutching Gu Wan's clothes tightly with her hands, looking serious.

Gu Wan looked at the person who was lying in her arms like a lazy cat, and the smile on her face became bigger and bigger, with a full of doting that she herself didn't know about. "Yin'er, be good, or Liu Yang will come and make fun of you as her elder sister."

"I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat. A'wan, can you just hold me like this?" Liu Yin'er didn't care about her hot face. She didn't want to leave this embrace that was warm, reassuring, and addictive to her.

Gu Wan hugged his little wife with amusement. How could she not know that she was reluctant to leave him? Although they did not really sleep together last night, she did not want to leave him today. Only at this moment did she realize that there really is such a wonderful person in this world, whom you cannot bear to leave and can only spoil.

No matter how obsessed the two people are with each other, life must go on. After Gu Wan and Liu Yang left in the afternoon, Liu Yiner stayed at home alone in a daze. Suddenly, she wanted to go with A Wan. She thought she would go with A Wan next time. What should she do? She started to miss him in just a moment. Every moment became extremely long, and time suddenly became desolate and disgusting.

Jiuqu County, Chong'an Academy, Gu Wan was used to meeting Zhao Yunzhong for dinner every day. When he arrived at his door, he found a visitor. "Brother Li, when did you come?"

Li Yuan knew that Gu Wan was very dedicated to his position as a teacher in the academy, and that the restaurant business had become mature, so he rarely saw Gu Wan recently. However, on the monthly dividend settlement day, he didn't show up.

Out of concern and curiosity, she asked someone about the school's closing time and waited at Gu's house in advance. But when she saw Gu Wan, her curiosity disappeared. "Brother, how can this be so disgraceful? A man and a woman... man, you two grown men are doing this on the street. It's really disgraceful."

"Brother Li, what are you talking about? Come and meet me. This is my good friend in the academy, Mr. Zhao Yunzhong. He is a teacher in the academy just like me. This is my good brother Li Yuan. It's rare for us to get together today. Let's have a drink together." Gu Wan didn't take Li Yuan's words to heart and still introduced him happily.

"No need. I'm here today to invite Brother Gu to my house for a gathering regarding the restaurant." Li Yuan ignored that Mr. Zhao and only stated his purpose.

Although this young master ignored him, Zhao Yunzhong knew him. He was lucky enough to be present at the wedding of the county magistrate's daughter. He just didn't know what kind of relationship Brother Gu had with this unfriendly Mr. Li. He called himself a gentleman, but he also had his own pride. So he just nodded and said goodbye to Gu Wan. "Since Brother Gu has something to do, then let's meet again tomorrow. Zhao Yunzhong is leaving."

Sitting in the carriage of the Hu Mansion, Gu Wan realized it belatedly and couldn't help but frown and said, "Qing'er, you were rude just now."

"Brother Gu, my name is Li Yuan. I don't know any Qing'er. I hope you will be more careful with your words in the future." Li Yuan had no idea that he had done anything wrong and just looked angry.

"You...Okay, okay, Brother Li, I don't know what I did to upset you, but you are a man with a small heart."

"Oh? Of course I can't compare to Brother Gu. How can I do that to a man in public? It's simply disgraceful." Li Yuan became more and more angry, and finally pointed at Gu Wan and was speechless.

Gu Wan chuckled, "Brother Li, you're thinking too much if you say we're violating etiquette. Brother Zhao and I are just friends."

"You, but you are a woman after all." Li Yuan was influenced by her childhood and could not accept such a thing. Two people who were not related to each other, and there was a difference between men and women, should have some sense of propriety even if they were friends.

Gu Wan did not explain further. This was originally an irreconcilable cultural conflict. Nowadays, she was closer to her male best friend than some of her female friends. It was just to make herself more comfortable in interpersonal relationships. If getting along without feeling tired is the best friendship.

It just so happened that Zhao Yunzhong gave her such a feeling. They had a good conversation and could communicate easily. She could understand Li Yuan's concerns, but she could not expect others to understand her.

However, Gu Wan had not considered that even in modern times, two adult men rarely had physical contact, even if they were close, not to mention that she was a woman disguised as a man. History always teaches lessons to the arrogant. It was a pity that she was too slow in terms of emotions.

After that day, Gu Wan's life was as casual and free as ever. If Hu Ziyan had not secretly visited Liu Yiner, this kind of life might have continued for a long time.

In Liujia Village, Liu Yiner awkwardly poured a cup of tea for Hu Ziyan. Her husband was not at home, and she didn't know why this young lady came to see her.

"Sister Yin'er, is it okay for me to call you that?" The more Hu Ziyan looked at Liu Yin'er, the more sorry she felt. How could she have ended up with such an ungrateful man? Look at her husband, he never dared to get involved with other men, women, or girls outside. The so-called close friends were just a trick. It seemed that this woman was also unreliable. Her husband was still the best.

"Sister Yan'er, just feel free to do as you please. I wonder why you are here?" Liu Yin'er asked nervously. Could something have happened to Awan?

At night, Hu Ziyan left early.

Liu Yin'er, however, lost sleep over her words. "Sister Yin'er, although Brother Gu is a man now, she is still a woman at heart. If she stays with another man for too long, she might fall in love with him. It's better for her to go to the county town to keep him company. If her husband isn't around for a long time, I'm afraid..."

The most important thing was that her sister-in-law also threw a sketchbook to her. When she opened it, she was so embarrassed. She thought it was so shameless. How could there be such a picture? But when she looked at the two naked women in the storybook and the notes below, Liu Yin'er felt colder and colder in her heart. In the end, she even shed two lines of tears.

No wonder, no wonder why I felt something was wrong. Not only did I not feel any pain that night, but there was no spotting the next day. I was so stupid. I was so happy that I even forgot what Sister-in-law Li told me.

But even in that situation, Awan, Awan, Awan still didn't want to be a real couple with me.

The spring breeze in February was getting warmer. Gu Wan sat outside the carriage with the driver. His mood was like a wound-up alarm clock. As he arrived at the doorstep of his home, the alarm in his chest started to ring "ding ding ding", a cheerful sound.

However, this joy only lasted for a while. Gu Wan was puzzled when he didn't see the person who was always waiting for him in front of the courtyard gate. He forced himself to ignore the slight loss in his heart. When he opened the door and saw the person lying on the bed and sleeping, he suddenly felt at ease.

She didn't disturb the person who was sleeping soundly. She put down her luggage and went straight to the kitchen. However, she didn't find the food prepared like last time. The loss in her heart deepened a little bit. Her Yin'er was also the kind of bad person who took everything without cherishing it. After silently complaining in her heart, Gu Wan still honestly prepared lunch for two people.

Seeing that the sun was almost at noon, Gu Wan placed the warm water next to the bed and gently shook his wife who was still sleeping on the bed through the quilt. "Yin'er, have you had breakfast today? Do you want to get up and have lunch before going to sleep?"

Five seconds passed, and the person on the bed showed no reaction. Gu Wan cleared his throat and tried to soften his voice. "Yin'er, have you eaten today? Be good, let's get up and eat something before going to sleep, okay?"

The person on the bed with his back to the outside finally moved, and just pulled the quilt up to cover his head. What did that mean? Gu Wan's heart suddenly became panicked. "Yin'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The author has something to say:

A little abuse can be a relief, but a lot of abuse can hurt your body. But I feel like I just can’t be abusive at all, ahhh~

After looking through the comments, I found that most of the students tend to abuse Gu Wan. I mourned for my poor Ah Wan for two seconds~
