Chapter 50

Since that day, Gu Qingyue hadn't seen Gu Hengsheng again. Counting carefully, it had been half a month.

On Saturday, Gu Qingyue woke up bright and early. Shu Miaomiao had called the previous night, wanting her to meet her boyfriend. Gu Qingyue hugged her pillow, staring out the window in a daze. After a while, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she opened the wardrobe, the bottle of Chanel perfume on the wardrobe caught her eye. Gu Qingyue stared at it for a while and felt her eyes slightly sore. She took out a blue turtleneck sweater and black skinny pants, raised her hand and closed the wardrobe door.

After breakfast, Shu Miaomiao called to see if she was awake, fearing she might have overslept again. Gu Qingyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm awake."

Shu Miaomiao sighed, and hesitated to say, "Qingyue, have you been in a bad mood recently?"

Gu Qingyue was slightly stunned for a moment. Shu Miaomiao said to herself on the other end, "I noticed it a few days ago, but it's hard to ask you. Is it related to Teacher Gu?"

"Why do you think he is the one who has the most influence on me when I'm in a bad mood?" Gu Qingyue was simply curious.

Shu Miaomiao was silent for a moment, then asked her, "Don't you like Teacher Gu?"

Gu Qingyue was speechless: "When did you find out?"

"Well...every time you come back from Teacher Gu, you are in a good mood."

Gu Qingyue was silent for a moment, then said, "I've made my feelings known to him."

"What's the result?" Shu Miaomiao asked.

"Rejected." Gu Qingyue smiled bitterly, "Maybe I thought too simply."

Shu Miaomiao groaned and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's not like no one likes you. Teacher Gu rejected us, so we can find someone else? Let's have dinner later, and I'll ask Lao Tao to bring another friend and introduce him to you."

Lao Tao is Shu Miaomiao’s boyfriend, who is five years older than her and whose full name is Tao Renran.

"That's not necessary."

"The best way to heal a broken heart is to start a new relationship quickly, or just treat it as making a friend," said Shu Miaomiao.

Gu Qingyue didn't leave until nine o'clock. She and Shu Miaomiao had an appointment to eat Cantonese food. She had to go practice driving at one o'clock in the afternoon, so she only had time to eat lunch with Shu Miaomiao at noon.

When she arrived, Shu Miaomiao and her boyfriend were already there, and the seat opposite them was empty. Gu Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, as she was really worried that Shu Miaomiao would bring a boy to see her.

Shu Miaomiao was sitting in her seat. When she saw her come in, she raised her hand and waved at her.

Gu Qingyue walked over with a smile. Tao Renran was quite handsome. Although Shu Miaomiao had sent him photos and told her that Tao Renran was not photogenic, he was indeed better looking in person. It was not that Shu Miaomiao had an excessive girlfriend filter; what she said was true.

Tao Renran spoke sincerely and took good care of Shu Miaomiao at the dinner table, serving the dishes and handing out tissues. He was very thoughtful, and Gu Qingyue couldn't help but feel relieved.

After lunch, Shu Miaomiao asked Tao Renran to drive Gu Qingyue to the driving practice field.

Shu Miaomiao said, "Those instructors are so serious. I feel like I'm back in elementary school. They always scold me like crazy. Sometimes I just want to get off the bus. I paid to learn how to drive, not to get scolded, okay?"

Gu Qingyue deeply agreed.

Tao Renran heard the conversation between the two. After all, he was a few years older than them, so he naturally understood the ins and outs. He asked, "Did you offer cigarettes to anyone on your first day there?"

Shu Miaomiao asked: "What do you mean?"

"Buy cigarettes to honor the teacher."

They both shook their heads.

When they arrived at the driving practice place, Gu Qingyue thanked him and got off the car.

Shu Miaomiao sent a message asking what her first impression was, and Gu Qingyue replied: [Very polite, very gentlemanly.]

Shu Miaomiao gave her a happy laughing expression in return.

Gu Qingyue smiled, put her phone back into her bag, and went to the driving practice ground.

Gu Qingyue’s coach is a middle-aged man in his forties. He doesn’t have a bad temper and doesn’t curse people often. But when he is really angry, he will occasionally make sarcastic remarks.

Gu Qingyue has been practicing reverse parking these days. She was in good shape today and the coach also praised her. However, when she was doing reverse parking for the second time, she was distracted for a moment and the car almost hit the wall. Fortunately, the coach held her steering wheel.

When her forehead hit the steering wheel, she felt a slight pain. When she got out of the car, she found that her forehead was slightly red and swollen. At this time, the hand in the bag made a buzzing sound. Gu Qingyue took out her mobile phone and pressed the answer button.

Su Xi's anxious voice came from the other end: "Qingyue, please come to the hospital as soon as possible. Aunt Gu was in a car accident."

Gu Qingyue hung up the phone in a hurry, and without saying a word, she turned and ran out of the driving range. She hailed a car on the side of the road, and it was already forty minutes later that she arrived at the hospital.

In the corridor outside the operating room, Su Xi leaned against the snow-white wall. Aunt Xu was sitting on a long bench. Seeing her coming, she stood up and said, "Qingyue?"

Gu Qingyue looked at Su Xi: "What happened to my mother?"

Su Xi came over with a serious look on her face: "He's in surgery, and the current situation is unclear. Let's ask the doctor when he comes out."

Gu Qingyue: "Where is the driver?"

"Died instantly."

Gu Qingyue's face paled slightly, her hands and feet were cold, and her entire body felt limp and weak, as if she were walking on cotton. She held onto the wall and sat down on a chair.

She scratched the phone case with her fingers, feeling a little uneasy. She was eager to find someone to talk to, so she subconsciously picked up the phone and sent a message to Gu Hengsheng.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Hengsheng and Su Yanli arrived.

Su Yanli frowned, extremely worried, and asked Su Xi about the situation, who repeated it again. Gu Hengsheng glanced at Gu Qingyue, who was hugging her knees, her chin resting on them, her eyes red as she stared blankly at the operating room door, wondering what she was thinking.

These three hours seemed so long that it seemed as if every lost second could be captured. When the operating room door opened, several people stood up.

The surgeon took off his mask and said, "The operation went well. The patient is not in danger of death. Please rest assured."

Gu Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but the tears she had been trying so hard to hold back suddenly flowed out. She raised her hands to cover her face, and after a long moment, she finally managed to calm down.

After sending the patient to the ward, Su Xi noticed that Gu Qingyue's sweater had some stains on it. She said, "Go back and wash up first. I'll stay here with Aunt Gu."

Gu Qingyue refused to leave, and Su Xi persuaded her, "You don't want your aunt to wake up and see you in this state, do you?"

Gu Qingyue lowered her eyes to look at her clothes. She had just been running in a hurry and fell down in the hospital building. It was not a serious injury, just that her clothes were slightly stained.

Su Yanli also advised her to go back, saying that he was there and she didn't need to worry too much.

Gu Hengsheng drove her back, and they entered the elevator one after the other.

Gu Qingyue sniffed, her voice still nasal: "I was too flustered just now."

Her words were incoherent, and Gu Hengsheng could tell she was referring to the message she had sent him earlier. Gu Hengsheng said gently, "Qingyue, even if you didn't send the message, I would have come here knowing this."

After they got out of the elevator, Gu Hengsheng suddenly asked, "What's wrong with your forehead?"

Gu Qingyue raised her hand and touched it, feeling a little swollen. She said lightly, "I accidentally bumped into it."

He didn't say anything else from then on. As the two of them walked towards Gu Hengsheng's parked car, Gu Qingyue stared at his back and said, "Third Uncle, I can stop a car to go back by myself."

Gu Hengsheng tilted his head to look at her for a long time, then said, "Qingyue, are you still angry with me?"

Gu Qingyue shook her head and looked at him: "I have to stay away from you. I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to control myself and make you annoyed again."

Gu Hengsheng stared at her for a moment, then sighed softly and repeated, "Can't help yourself?"

Finally, he said, "Don't worry, I won't get tired of you."

Gu Qingyue's eyes felt slightly hot, so she quickly lowered her eyes and blinked hard a few times.

The two got in the car. After driving for a while, Gu Hengsheng approached a convenience store. He pulled over and said to her, "Wait for me for a moment."

Gu Qingyue didn't understand what he meant. She just saw him push open the driver's door, walk around the front of the car, and enter the convenience store.

Three minutes later, he came out of the convenience store, holding a plastic bag with two bottles of Coca-Cola in it. He got in the car, closed the door, and took out a can of Coke from the white plastic bag. Just as he was about to touch her forehead, Gu Qingyue turned her head away.

During this silent confrontation, Gu Qingyue took out another can of Coke from the bag. She held it in her hand, placed it against her swollen forehead, and turned her face to the window.

The Coke had been taken out of the refrigerator, and the bottle was still cold. Gu Hengsheng's fingers touched it for a long time, and after a while, he felt a little numb. He tapped the bottle lightly with his fingers, and then put the Coke back into the bag.
