Chapter 23 Life is a mess
Gu Yunsu had experienced too many times from Qin Yuxuan how a person could make a stupid decision on impulse.
Regret. The person involved was very regretful at this time, and even felt that Wu Limei would not do such a stupid thing.
Although they didn't do anything excessive except kissing.
But it’s enough, it’s more than enough.
Gu Yunsu was already confused about his feelings, and the physical contact made things even more confusing.
Not to mention that this also involves the unclear emotional entanglement between her and Xu Wenbin. Ah, it's so troublesome. Ambiguity makes people suffer all kinds of grievances.
To be honest, she and Xu Wenbin did not have a relationship to the point where they needed to control each other or not allow each other to see anyone of the opposite sex. The two of them had never had any contact, and their relationship was purer than tofu.
If you stay in the dating culture abroad, dating several people at the same time is the norm, so why would you need to worry about it?
In fact, if this happened to Luo Jingjing, Gu Yunsu would definitely applaud, cheer and have fun with her sisters, but why did he tie up the handcuffs and try to be a "good woman" when it came to him? So old-fashioned!
She made an excuse to decline at the time, saying that Wu Limei and Li Jianxiong had a fight and she had to stay home on the weekend to mediate. Xu Wenbin had no right to stop her. Not only that, he also asked about her every now and then to show his concern, which really touched China.
On Saturday night, when she and Qin Yuxuan were chatting with each other and doing nothing, Xu Wenbin sent another text message, asking how the mediation work was going.
Gu Yunsu thought she was particularly bad because she didn't read the message or reply, but she didn't even bother to read it. She was so focused on thinking about Qin Yuxuan that she didn't remember who Xu Wenbin was.
It was already quite late when I got home, and I had to find another excuse to lie: "I was cleaning up, but I won't tell you today. I'm so tired."
The excuse was false, but the feeling was real. Gu Yunsu comforted himself that he was not completely lying.
The next day, Xu Wenbin took the initiative to send a WeChat message again.
People are like this sometimes. Even though they have done something wrong and feel guilty, once the person they feel guilty about keeps appearing in front of them and keeps reminding them of the bad things they have done unintentionally, they will naturally feel bored and become very impatient with the other person.
Gu Yunsu is in this state right now. She was furious when she saw Xu Wenbin's text message. This had nothing to do with the person involved. It was entirely due to her own awkwardness. If Qin Yuxuan had sent her a message, she would have been equally annoyed. Unfortunately, that clever kid was even more arrogant than her and never did anything so obvious in his courtesy.
It's annoying to think about this. Gu Yunsu thought that whether it was Xu Wenbin who sent her WeChat messages or Qin Yuxuan who didn't send her messages, they were all annoying, disgusting and annoying.
She is so sick of herself because of love, and she doesn't know if she is the only one like this in the world.
Fortunately, although one wave came up, the other wave subsided first. After so many days of cold war, Wu Limei and Li Jianxiong finally reconciled.
One day after dinner, Li Jianxiong was walking towards the bedroom after drinking water in the kitchen when he heard Wu Limei, who was sitting on the sofa, cry out "ouch", holding her stomach and calling him "Jianxiong".
Li Jianxiong immediately became nervous, and quickly rushed to her side, put one hand on her belly, and asked, "What's wrong?!"
Wu Limei took his hand and moved it to another part of her belly. With a smile on her face, she said, "Touch it, it moves."
Li Jianxiong opened his eyes wide and stared at Wu Limei's belly. After waiting for a few seconds, he felt a "knocking" on his palm.
He was immediately surprised and said, "Really! It really moved!"
The two smiled at each other, then immediately remembered their previous disagreement. Li Jianxiong moved his hand away with a little embarrassment.
"I'll go...I'll write it down." He said, and was about to stand up and go into the house.
Wu Limei stopped him and asked, puzzled, "What are you writing about?"
Li Jianxiong was a little embarrassed: "Since you became pregnant, I have written down all these little changes in a notebook."
Wu Limei was stunned: "Really?" Then she asked, "Can I see it?"
Li Jianxiong hesitated for two seconds, nodded, went into the room and took out the notebook from the drawer.
Wu Limei flipped through a few pages. It was filled with details that she couldn't even remember: Meimei had morning sickness for the first time; Meimei got up three times at night; Meimei would get nauseous after eating braised pork...
Some of them will be followed by two comments: Meimei likes sweet, so I will add an extra spoonful of honey to the grapefruit tea next time; Meimei is getting hungry quickly recently, so I will prepare more snacks...
What kind of novel does this plot appear in?
Wu Limei knew that Li Jianxiong was considerate and gentle, but she never thought he could do this. She had never experienced such tenderness from Gu Kangqi or any other man before. She felt a sense of relief that after all the hardships had come, and although it was obviously a happy thing, she couldn't help shedding tears.
Li Jianxiong was a little flustered: "Why are you still crying?" He quickly took out a tissue to wipe his wife's tears.
Wu Limei shook her head and sobbed, "It's my fault. I did something wrong."
They both knew what she was talking about. Li Jianxiong saw his wife's tears and softened his heart: "Don't cry, I was wrong too."
Sometimes, resolving a conflict requires a thorough analysis of the causes and consequences. However, in most cases in life and in families, people forgive not an event but a person. Regardless of right or wrong, people can let go of the matter and not talk about it again because they have deep feelings for the person involved.
Gu Yunsu was originally preparing to go downstairs to eat something, so he hid behind the wall to take a look, then retreated silently.
Wu Limei said: "I will never hide anything from you again."
Li Jianxiong hugged his wife and said, "I won't be mean to you anymore."
That’s great, Gu Yunsu thought, if only her own emotional situation was as clear as this. If she could be as clear about her own heart as Wu Limei, she would never go to see her ex.
Oh, I'm worried. A triangle relationship is not easy to deal with.
Gu Yunsu turned around to go up the stairs and happened to meet Li Yan coming out of the bedroom. The two of them came into close combat and almost bumped into each other, which scared her.
She was still worried about affecting the warming relationship between the two people in the living room, and she forgot for a moment that Li Yan was not the kind of person who would make a sound due to accidents. She covered his mouth and pushed him back into the house.
I couldn't help but think, this is the second time she has locked them in the room! It's boring to use the same joke over and over again!
She closed the door quietly, turned around and whispered to Li Yan: "They just reconciled. Let them talk about it and consolidate their relationship. It will only take five minutes."
Li Yan nodded without looking at her.
Gu Yunsu wondered why his brother had regressed to the "closed" stage after not talking for a few days. He even wanted to jokingly ask him, "Don't you remember the time when your sister invited you to dinner?" But when he looked carefully, the boy actually blushed.
Why are you blushing?
No, it wasn't that she hit me after I just finished shooting a plane, right?
She looked around the room quietly. The tissue was still quietly on the table and the trash can was empty. It didn't look like a "crime scene".
Why are you blushing? You can't be embarrassed because you just covered your mouth casually, right?
Quite embarrassing.
Gu Yunsu found it interesting, but out of consideration for his fragile psychological ability, he did not tease him. He just pretended nothing had happened and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work." Then he turned around and walked out.
But by chance, I saw the Band-Aid on his hand, at the joint where it would bulge when he made a fist. It was hard not to associate it with the place where he got injured when he punched.
Gu Yunsu didn't read so many social news in vain. He almost thought reflexively, could it be that he was being bullied?
Li Yan was still shy there. Gu Yunsu thought for a moment and asked, "Is everything going well for you in school?" Then he stared at the other person's face, trying to collect more evidence for inference through his micro-expressions.
Li Yan was stunned, but he forgot about being shy. He raised his head to look at her and replied woodenly, "Yeah."
This reaction...
Gu Yunsu couldn't see anything unusual on the other person's face. She thought that she was asking too much of him and expected him to communicate his emotions. She waved her hand and didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "If you have any questions, remember to look for me."
Maybe Gu Yunsu is still young, or maybe she values privacy very much, so her point of view is that if the other party does not want to answer the questions she asks, she should give them time instead of asking them blindly. Telling the truth also requires a sense of security, and she hopes that others can take the initiative to confide in her.
What's more, she was very worried and put all her worries on Qin Yuxuan.
This guy waited until the evening, and finally found the time to call her back. He also had an excuse, saying that he had just got off a plane and was going home.
Despite this, Gu Yunsu is not a fool. She knows that Qin Yuxuan did it on purpose and deliberately delayed contacting her until now, just like before, to make her anxious.
But he didn't know that she had always hated this kind of scheming, and she was not a woman who would obey him because of these means. She was just tolerating him because she liked him.
But this tolerance must come to an end.
After a round of greetings, the two slowly started chatting. When he was willing to pay attention, he was actually a very good person to chat with. He didn't talk much, but his words were enough to inspire others to talk non-stop.
At this point he became more talkative, and brought Gu Yunsu with him more enthusiastically. The two of them were more relaxed than yesterday, chatting about life and gossip, and were so lively that it seemed as if the past six months had never existed.
Qin Yuxuan had ulterior motives and always brought her up with ambiguous topics. Knowing that she didn't have a boyfriend, he asked her if she had ever been on a blind date.
Gu Yunsu thought of the weird men Luo Jingjing had told her about during blind dates, and she didn't know why she attributed those to herself: "I have met a few of them." Then she laughed as if she was telling a joke.
Then he asked him, "What about you?"
Qin Yuxuan didn't know whether he was moved by her talkativeness or felt that he should share a few anecdotes about blind dates out of courtesy, so he replied, "I've seen that twice."
According to him, he was introduced by his family, and there was another girl in his hometown, but he rejected her directly. The two girls he met - in his own words, one was "big and strong", and the other was "skinny and pale", but they were both "simple and honest" and looked like decent people.
Gu Yunsu faked a smile and asked him why he was so "proud" before, but now he agreed to go on a blind date?
Qin Yuxuan sighed and said that he was 32 years old after all, and it was time for him to settle down.
He then said that his grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and everyone in the family was very worried and wanted to celebrate.
Having said that, Gu Yunsu finally understood a little.
Qin Yuxuan grew up with his grandfather, and the grandfather and grandson had a very deep relationship. His grandfather always looked forward to his marriage. When he was with Gu Yunsu, he always said that when he got married in the future, it didn't matter whether his parents were satisfied or not, as long as his grandfather was satisfied.
Gu Yunsu even asked foolishly: "Then tell me, Grandpa, do you think I am okay?"
Qin Yuxuan pinched her face and said happily: "How would I know that? You have to go see Grandpa with me and let him tell you."
Even the most cold-hearted person has his weaknesses, and Qin Yuxuan cares most about his grandfather.
In the past, Qin Yuxuan was carefree because he was confident that he would have a broader world, with girls all over the world for him to choose from, and he was not in a hurry to take his time. But now he is in a hurry to get married, and Gu Yunsu has become the most suitable one, after all, he likes her "more than anyone else".
Gu Yunsu was still smiling at this time: You see, her observation was correct, he was not lying when he said "like you".
