Chapter 32: The Eve of Vacation



Chapter 32: The Eve of Vacation

After Li Yan's final exam, Gu Yunsu and his family of five decided to go on vacation to a hot spring resort in the suburbs.

The idea was first proposed by Wu Limei, and was unanimously opposed by her husband and daughter.

The most obvious reason was that Wu Limei was in poor health and would get headaches and fevers whenever she moved around. There were all kinds of people in the resort and there were too many germs. Wu Limei's immunity was so low that it was hard to prevent it.

Secondly, the winter vacation for repeaters is short, and I’m afraid that Li Yan will be distracted after going out, and it will take him a long time to adjust his mentality when school starts.

Gu Yunsu didn't know what Li Jianxiong was thinking, but she was actually just too lazy to bother, especially when she and Xu Wenbin had just started dating. They were in love with each other and liked each other no matter how they looked at each other. If she really went to the resort, the whole weekend would be gone. The advertising company where Xu Wenbin worked was busy, and he had to work overtime almost every day on weekdays. If there was a delay, the two of them would only be able to see each other at least once every half a month. This was simply torture for a couple in love. Who could bear it?

But Wu Limei couldn't think of it.

She knew her daughter was in love again, but Gu Yunsu didn't tell her exactly when and with whom, and she didn't ask, so she never imagined that the reason her daughter didn't want to go was to see her boyfriend.

Wu Limei originally had a more ambitious plan, to go to places like Yunnan or Sanya with beautiful mountains and rivers to have fun for half a month. However, she compromised on the travel plan in consideration of her own physical condition so as not to add burden to everyone.

If everyone still disagrees with this, is there any humanity left?

"I stay at home all day, and now I'm not allowed to take a vacation in this city. Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Wu Limei said angrily, and said very willfully, "I don't care, whether you want to go or not, I'll go by myself!"

Based on Gu Yunsu's understanding of her mother, Wu Limei is really capable of doing such a thing.

If she can't be persuaded, you have to obey her and book a room for her carefully so that she can feel at ease. You have to treat a pregnant woman as warmly as spring.

Wu Limei was visibly happy. She was really happy. She started packing her bags several days in advance and even bought several new clothes on treasure hunt. She gestured left and right in front of the mirror.

Gu Yunsu saw her mother like this, to be honest, she felt a little ashamed. When she was young, Wu Limei raised Gu Yunsu alone, and she was only concerned about saving money, so she had no chance to travel. Later, when Gu Yunsu went to work and school, whenever she had the opportunity to travel, she would definitely choose friends first, because she had gone on several long trips with Wu Limei, and the two either quarreled or played separately, and the travel experience was extremely bad, so she tried her best to avoid traveling with her mother.

Thinking about it this way, the number of times Wu Limei has traveled in her life can be counted on two hands.

Now that she is pregnant again, she can foresee that she will have to spend at least the next year giving birth and raising children, so going out to play will be out of the question.

Gu Yunsu sighed and thought to himself that he should be nicer to Wu Limei.

The day before the trip, out of longing for her boyfriend who was about to give birth, Gu Yunsu took the initiative to find Xu Wenbin's company and met him during the less than an hour when he was having dinner to relieve her homesickness.

Xu Wenbin was in a hurry and kept staring at the messages on his mobile phone, but he did not forget his girlfriend's family trip and gave her a "Survival Manual".

Gu Yunsu clasped his fists and said, "Humor."

Xu Wenbin pretended to be serious and said, "What kind of humor is this? Is studying a humorous thing? There are so many dangers when you go out. How can you not be fully prepared?"

"Brother, I'm going to a resort..."

"Stop talking," Xu Wenbin raised his hand to stop her, fiercely, "I said that the more you read, the more knowledge you gain. Is that wrong?"

Gu Yunsu just laughed.

Xu Wenbin frowned and hissed at her, just like a big dog breathing out to scare people.

She laughed even harder and said, "That's right!"

Xu Wenbin: "Do you want to recite the whole book?"

Gu Yunsu simply saluted: "Yes, sir!"

The two of them were laughing together, but it didn't last long. Xu Wenbin was called by his colleagues again. He held the phone and said awkwardly, "You guys should do it first. I will be back in half an hour."

Gu Yunsu didn't know whether he said this to her, but as an invisible workaholic, she could understand the mentality of modern workers who couldn't take care of anything else when they were busy. It wasn't that she wanted to be one of the top ten girlfriends, but after putting herself in his shoes, she decided to let Xu Wenbin go free.

"Go get busy," she said, clenching her fists. "Workers, workers' spirit, workers are the best. Come on!"

Xu Wenbin laughed and asked her, "Are you so willing to give it up?"

"So what if I'm reluctant?" Gu Yunsu rolled his eyes. "I'm not Daji. Can the king not attend the court early for me?"

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Xu Wenbin coquettishly punched her and said shyly: "How can you say such obscene things in public? I hate you!"

This charming young lady's looks could fetch a good price.

Gu Yunsu was both horrified and amused. He hugged his arms and hid far away: "Sometimes I really wonder if some parts of your body are missing." After saying that, he glanced at the other person's lower half meaningfully.

This immediately changed Xu Wenbin's original form. He grabbed her neck fiercely with a wrestling move, and asked threateningly with a smile: "You will know if it works if you try it?"

Gu Yunsu also laughed and continued to tease him while dismantling his arm: "Okay, do you have time now?"

Xu Wenbin was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Just wait for me to put in some effort."

"I'll have to wait until next life to experience that feeling," Gu Yunsu said with a sigh.

Xu Wenbin also knew that he had not been paying attention to his girlfriend recently, and he felt a little guilty. Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, his cell phone rang again.

He glanced at it and didn't dare to take it.

Gu Yunsu saw him like that and thought it was boring to drag him down any further, so he waved his hands helplessly: "Alright, let's go."

Xu Wenbin got the imperial decree and immediately became excited. He picked up his coat and mobile phone and stood up. He knew how to be polite. Before leaving, he gently kissed his girlfriend's forehead and said, "I'll call you later."

Then he quickly left the restaurant.

Gu Yunsu looked at his back and would be lying if he said he wasn't sad.

Although the two were together, she always felt that everything in the future was particularly vague.

She seemed to know what kind of person Xu Wenbin was and where this relationship would go, but she also seemed to not know. In fact, in recent years, she had no idea what she was like or where she would go in the future. She didn't like this feeling. This almost uncontrollable fate was terrifying.

Maybe many people like the excitement brought by the unknown, and Gu Yunsu also hates a monotonous life, but in her opinion, this kind of change should be in her hands, and she should actively choose it rather than passively accept it. There are too many uncertainties in life nowadays, which makes her confused.

Before Xu Wenbin, she had been in love many times, and naturally every relationship ended in failure. She was tired of the emptiness and loss that breakups brought, so for a long time she thought that maybe falling in love was not a good idea, or maybe she shouldn't fall in love before she got her life on the right track.

She hopes that every relationship will be her last, but every relationship and every partner disappoints her.

The novelty and excitement of a lover can last for about two months, and then the passion gradually fades and soon becomes boring. When you first fall in love, you think that the other person is simply light and god, and you marvel at how there can be such a lovely and charming guy in the world. But after being together, once that mist disappears, all the flaws of human nature will be revealed bit by bit.

She praised him too highly and then dropped him too hard.

So is it her problem? Is it because she is incapable of love that she cannot stay with her lover for a longer period of time?

Especially at the end of each relationship, the quarrels and disagreements would make her constantly doubt herself and reflect on herself: what went wrong here, what went wrong there. She knew that it was difficult for adults to change, and the only person who could change was herself, so when someone tried to trick her, she would think that she was too credulous and needed to change; when someone got angry at her, she would think that she was too weak and needed to change; when someone took advantage of her, she would think that she was too kind and needed to change.

But even after changing so much, she still doesn't have the confidence to stay with someone until the end without getting disappointed or giving up.

So could Xu Wenbin be that person?

After Wu Limei got married, Gu Yunsu often looked at the loving couple, feeling disgusted and envious. If she were him, she would not be happy with a man like Li Jianxiong, but he was suitable for Wu Limei, and Wu Limei had a discerning eye and picked him out.

But does she have such luck and vision?

Gu Yunsu didn't know, especially since she hadn't realized her self-worth at all, had a low self-evaluation, and was pessimistic about love.

The waiter came over and asked her if she wanted more water. She shook her head and said she wanted to pay.

But when the waiter really came back with the bill, she couldn't help but feel disappointed: Xu Wenbin didn't pay!

It's not that I care about the money, nor that I care that he is so busy that he can only take care of work. It's just that he was so considerate before we officially started dating, and now he's acting like this, which makes me feel uneasy.

It was just like one of her ex-boyfriends, who was very polite when pursuing her. He would even pull out a chair for her in a restaurant and cut her steak for her when eating. But everything changed after he got her. When they ate together, he no longer took care of her and took it for granted that she would peel shrimps for him.

Oh my god, Gu Yunsu really wanted to yell at the other party: "Get it straight! I want to be with you because you love me! I don't want to love you!"

Men are inevitably lazy about their goals and trophies they have conquered; but what is unfair is that women often begin to truly feel emotional only after they have confirmed the other person's ownership.

Regarding this ex, Gu Yunsu later discovered that he was extremely selfish and hypocritical, so it was not just a matter of laziness, but that he put on a mask and "tricked" her into getting her.

It's disgusting, it's disgusting.

So is Xu Wenbin real or fake? Was it a momentary oversight or is he no longer passionate?

Gu Yunsu was certainly not going to dwell on such a small detail, but for people in love, it was normal to feel uncertain and to think about all kinds of things.

Forget it! After worrying about this for a while, she finally gave up torturing herself. Who cares? She's going on vacation tomorrow!
