Chapter 35 also did many other things I don't know about.

The old lady stroked Chen Zhen's hair, looked at the elegant Gu Yushu beside her, and smiled kindly, "Whether this old lady supports you or not depends on whether you are happy! My Zhenzhen, you have suffered too much injustice and hardship. I'm afraid!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yushu and Shen Zhen squatted down beside the old lady's bed, took the old lady's thin hand, and said with a serious and earnest expression, "Grandma, don't worry, Zhenzhen will definitely be happy. She will have everything that others have."

Grandma was very gratified. Shen Zhen had a hard life since childhood, with an older brother, Shen Huai, and a younger sister, Shen Wan. Shen Zhen, who was in the middle, was neither loved by her father nor her mother, and had to endure and suppress herself at every turn.

She's older now, and she's come to terms with many things. In this life, being able to be at peace with yourself and feel happy inside is more important than anything else. Even if you force Shen Zhen to get married and have children, would she be happy in that kind of life? As long as Shen Zhen feels happy and is content with her life, she will support her.

As they left the hospital, Gu Yushu had a smile on his lips. He took Shen Zhen's hand and helped her into the passenger seat.

Gu Yushu leaned against the door, her hand on the doorframe, her eyes lowered as she looked at the person inside. So delicate yet resilient, so obedient yet stubborn—she could never get enough of looking at Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen looked up, their eyes met, and against the light was Gu Yushu's clearly defined face, his smiling eyes shining brightly and captivatingly.

Everything around me went silent; all I could hear was the smiling eyes of the person in front of me.

Shen Zhen reached out and gently stroked Gu Yushu's cheek, saying coquettishly, "You silly boy."

Yu Shu held her hand and kissed it. "Zhenzhen, I'm so happy that Grandma can sincerely bless us."

The soft, moist touch in her palm was still there, and Gu Yushu's unique scent enveloped Shen Zhen, making her feel exceptionally at ease.

Yu Shu leaned closer and closer, and in an instant, Shen Zhen's heart pounded like a deer. She closed her eyes foolishly, her long eyelashes trembling like feathers, waiting for the soft touch she had imagined.

After a long while, a soft laugh came from above, and the seatbelt beside her was pulled up. Gu Yushu's voice, filled with laughter, rang out, "Zhenzhen, I just wanted to fasten my seatbelt."

Shen Zhen's face flushed crimson. What was she thinking? What was Gu Yushu thinking? This...this atmosphere is so intense, and they're not going to kiss! Damn it!

Shen Zhen was so ashamed she wanted to disappear on the spot. Before she could even cover her face with her hands, a warm palm firmly held the back of her neck. The familiar, cool breath enveloped her, and her lips were kissed.

Shen Zhen opened her eyes in surprise. Yu Shu's handsome features were close to hers, slightly closed. Noticing her distraction, Yu Shu gently licked Shen Zhen's lips, his breathing deep, "Zhenzhen, close your eyes."

Shen Zhen's thoughts were gradually taken over, and she obediently closed her eyes, tilting her head back to silently endure the person on top of her penetrating deeper and deeper, until the air gradually thinned.

Before she knew it, Shen Zhen's skirt had been pushed up to her waist, and she felt a slight chill on her body. She just wanted to keep getting closer to Yu Shu's hot palm.

Gu Yushu stopped what he was doing, gently pulled Chen Zhen's clothes up, and said in a low, husky voice, "Zhenzhen, I'm taking you somewhere."

Shen Zhen was too shy to look Gu Yushu in the eye. The car seats had been reclined at some point. Shen Zhen nestled inside, clutching Gu Yushu's coat at his chest and letting out a soft "Mmm," without asking where they were going.

At this moment, Shen Zhen's face was flushed, her long hair was messily draped behind her head, her collar was slightly open, and her lips were already red, swollen and moist, clearly showing that she had just been pampered.

Gu Yushu's eyes darkened, and she took off her coat, wrapping Shen Zhen completely in it. She didn't want anyone to see her when she was aroused; she was hers to keep.

Gu Yushu carefully settled Shen Zhen down, sat back in the driver's seat, ruffled Shen Zhen's soft hair, and said in a good mood, "Zhenzhen, rest for a while, we'll be there in a bit."

"Okay." Shen Zhen began to wonder where Gu Yushu was going to take her. Could it be that they could finally go to the movies today?

Shen Zhen peeked at Yu Shu many times, but Yu Shu acted as if she didn't know, focusing only on driving and not saying where she was going.

As the bustling city receded into the distance, Shen Zhen's heart began to pound. Where...where were they headed? For some reason, the movie she had watched recently—the one about a girlfriend being tricked into going to the sea and being murdered by her boyfriend—resurfaced in her mind.

Shen Zhen's heart began to pound. Every now and then, she would catch a glimpse of Gu Yushu's smile and feel a sense of unease, as if he harbored ill intentions.

All the romantic thoughts in Shen Zhen's mind vanished. She gripped the seatbelt and leaned silently towards the door, stammering, "Um... Ashu, if we're tired today, we can go home early."

Gu Yushu, unaware of the wild thoughts in her mind, said in a deep voice, "I'm not tired."

Shen Zhen felt uneasy. The more she looked at Yu Shu, the more she felt that his smile was malicious. She forced a smile and asked, "Um... where are we going?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yushu frowned slightly, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and his slender fingers tapped the steering wheel repeatedly, refusing to answer where she wanted to go.

Finally, unable to bear her own strange thoughts any longer, Shen Zhen grabbed Gu Yushu's arm after the car stopped, chuckled dryly, and said, "Yushu, calm down."

Seeing her resigned expression, Gu Yushu found it amusing. He got out of the car, pulled Shen Zhen out, and flicked her forehead with his finger. "What are you thinking about all day long! Look where we are!"

Shen Zhen looked around blankly, only to realize that Yu Shu had brought her to the place where they had lived together for three years.

The bustling alleyway was filled with the aroma of cooking, the air brimming with children's laughter and the scent of baked flatbread, just like before.

Gu Yushu tightened Shen Zhen's coat and pulled her out of the car. The two walked through the dilapidated streets, looking at the familiar alleys. Shen Zhen's breathing became heavier and heavier. This place... this was where they had lived together for four years.

Arriving outside the house where she used to live, Shen Zhen didn't understand what Yu Shu meant, so she jokingly said in a lighthearted manner, "Oh my, the landlord used to be so stingy, how come he's become so generous now? He even changed the lock to a combination lock."

Gu Yushu didn't answer and continued forward, but Shen Zhen grabbed her arm, shook her head, and said softly, "Yushu, isn't it inappropriate to disturb others?"

Yu Shu raised her beautiful eyebrows, took Shen Zhen's hand in one hand, and typed Shen Zhen's birthday on the door with the other.

"Click!" The door to the room opened, and Shen Zhen froze on the spot. Everything inside was just as it had been three years ago: a half-closed computer on the table, a half-finished cup of coffee next to it, and two backrest cushions on the sofa.

A distant yet familiar scene flashed before my eyes: they shared a watermelon and slept in the same quilt, their lives simple yet sweet.

Shen Zhen's eyes welled up with tears. It turned out that she wasn't the only one trapped in those years; her A-Shu was too. Essentially, they were the same kind of people: nostalgic, devoted, and stubborn.

Shen Zhen slowly hugged Gu Yushu tightly from behind, her face pressed against her back, and asked in a low voice, "How many more things have you done that I don't know about, you fool?"
