Chapter 40 Distance

Seeing the night falling outside, Liu Yiner stood up and lit the lamp. She looked at the person who was still standing there like a piece of wood. She rubbed her forehead and said, "What are you still doing sitting there? Do you think you are a door god? Can't you move a bit?"

Gu Wan raised her head in surprise when she heard this, and looked at Liu Yin'er with eyes filled with stars. Was she feeling sorry for herself? She was so excited that she couldn't help but say happily, "My wife, have you forgiven me?"

"Miss Gu, please don't talk nonsense. Who is your wife? Don't forget that we have no relationship anymore. I still have your divorce letter." Liu Yiner raised her eyebrows. This guy is really going to get more than he deserves.

"How could it be, when did I write a letter of divorce... I..." Gu Wan was halfway through her words when she suddenly remembered something. She looked at Liu Yin'er with disbelief in her eyes. Could it be that time? But, it had been so long, how could Yin'er still keep that ridiculous letter of divorce? Could it be that since then, Yin'er... No, it couldn't be.

Liu Yin'er had only mentioned it casually, but she saw Gu Wan staring at her in shock, and then doubts rose in her eyes. She was immediately disappointed. What was this person thinking? Hadn't her thoughts all along been obvious enough? It was really infuriating. "Miss Gu, please go back. Our courtyard can't accommodate such a distinguished guest."

"No, this is my home. Yin'er, where do you want me to go back to?" Gu Wan retorted subconsciously, but then realized that she had said something wrong. She looked up helplessly. As expected, she had made people angry again. She was really hopeless.

"So this is why you came back? Well, this is your home. Do you think I care about it?" Liu Yiner was so angry that her brain suddenly lost its rationality. She just followed her mood, turned around and began to pack her clothes. She would never pay attention to this annoying person again in the future. No, it would be better not to even see him.

Gu Wan panicked again. She opened and closed her lips several times, not knowing what to say. In a moment of distraction, she saw the person packing his bag and about to leave the room. She instinctively stretched out her arms to stop him, "You can't leave."

Liu Yin'er had calmed down while packing her clothes. She felt that she had become confused when she was with this person, and she had angered herself for no reason. Seeing Gu Wan standing in front of her with a weak attitude, she couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Why, the young lady of the general's mansion only knows how to bully us ordinary people?"

"Yin'er, don't be like this, can we talk nicely?" Gu Wan said helplessly, trying to use the previous method to hug the person in his arms, but this time he was pushed away ruthlessly.

Liu Yiner pushed away the person in front of her who wanted to hug her, then turned around and put the package back on the chair, and sat down next to him. She looked impatient and said, "If you have something to say, just say it quickly. It's so dark now, and I have to go home quickly."

Gu Wan put down her arms that had fallen empty, pursed her lips tightly, walked to the chair opposite but did not sit down immediately. She seemed to have thought of something, turned around and walked back to Liu Yiner.

Gu Wan bent her knees and half-knelt in front of Liu Yin'er's legs, then placed her hands on the knees of the person in front of her. Then she raised her head slightly and looked at the person sitting on the chair and said softly, "Yin'er, don't be angry, okay? I promise that I will never drink again in the future, and I will never let you worry about me again. I will be with you well in the future, and that Zhao Yunzhong will not bother us again. Just forgive me this time, okay?"

Liu Yiner looked at the person in front of her and sighed deeply in her heart, "Awan, don't you understand? The problem between us is not your drinking, nor is it the problem of Mr. Zhao. It's that every time you promise me, you still do your own thing. It's you who are unwilling to give up your own preferences for the sake of our better together. Even if this Mr. Zhao is gone, there will still be other Mr. Wang and Mr. Li. Like you said before, I can't always restrict your freedom, right?"

Gu Wan stood up anxiously, half bent over, placed his hands on either side of Liu Yin'er's shoulders, and said seriously and solemnly, "Yin'er, don't worry, I won't drink anymore. I'm willing to give up my hobbies. I won't be a teacher in the academy anymore. I'll just stay here with you. I don't want anything else but you, and I won't get to know anyone else. Is that okay?"

Liu Yiner irritably lifted Gu Wan's hands, then pushed her away, stood up and walked away two steps. Suddenly, she felt tired. "Ah Wan, you still don't understand what I mean. I'm not asking you to stay away from people, nor am I asking you to stop drinking. But you have to know that everything will overflow if it's too full, and drinking too much will lead to mistakes. People's hearts are even more sinister. Do you understand? Why can't we communicate?"

Gu Wan was pushed away with disappointment. She stood up passively and looked at the impatient Liu Yin'er. She couldn't help but feel a little flustered. "Okay, okay, Yin'er, don't worry. I've never been good at speaking and my temper is rather slow. I know what you mean. Don't get angry with yourself anymore. No matter whether I understand or not, I will listen to you from now on. Is this okay?"

Liu Yiner sighed tiredly and slowly lowered her shoulders. This feeling was like leading thousands of troops to attack a city, only to find that all the cities were empty and it was all in vain.

"Forget it, I'm tired. I'll rest first. You can do whatever you want." Liu Yiner turned around silently, put the clothes in place one by one, then washed up and lay down on the bed. What should she do when she was so tired?

Gu Wan didn't dare to say anything else. She looked at the night outside and turned to go to the kitchen. She first put the washed rice in the pot to steam, then beat a few eggs and stirred them. Then she carefully peeled and sliced ​​the tomatoes, made a tomato egg drop soup, and finally fried some hot and sour potato shreds that Liu Yiner liked.

After finishing everything, Gu Wan turned around and went back to the room. She walked to the bed and carefully looked at the person who seemed to be asleep on the bed. She said softly, "Yin'er, are you asleep? If not, get up and eat something. I made your favorite dish."

The person on the bed turned over as if in response, and Gu Wan immediately smiled, "Okay, Yin'er, get up quickly, I'll go get some food."

Liu Yiner sat up when she heard footsteps going to the kitchen. This person was becoming more and more annoying.

After dinner, Gu Wan consciously went to wash the dishes and boil water. After she had cleaned up everything, she looked at the extra quilt on the bed and felt a little cold in her heart. Fortunately, she also knew that now was not the time to be pretentious. Past experience told her that conflicts between lovers are easiest to resolve in bed, so with this in mind, she secretly went to bed.

The article has been revised to this point, and I want to reiterate:

Because it is ready to be finished, there are many typos due to lack of experience, and the format is also very messy~

That's why I had to revise this article. I thought you all knew about it, but I didn't expect some classmates to say that I was always faking updates~
