Chapter 34 Dark clouds begin to brew
But why did the plot take such a sudden turn for the worse?
Three days later, Gu Yunsu sat in Xu Wenbin's house, trying hard to figure out the reason.
Whatever the case, it has something to do with that dinner.
On the day of arriving at the resort, after eating for four hours, the four people in Gu Yunsu's family of five who were still able to appear in human form rushed into the restaurant like starving ghosts and started to enjoy their second meal of the day.
Needless to say, the performance of professional freeloader Li Yan is excellent. No matter how hard the wind blows, he just picks up the plate and works hard, not paying attention to the outside world. Nothing can stop him from getting food, and he doesn't care what anyone talks about.
Li Jianxiong also "learned from his son" and, contrary to his usual reserved attitude, he piled up a small hill with plates in his hands, finished it in five minutes, and then went to cross another hill. Hard work! Refreshing!
Wu Limei was not very mobile, but with Li Jianxiong's care, she was able to eat and drink. Her slow pace revealed a kind of perseverance, which was even more powerful than the crab legs.
Gu Yunsu, on the other hand, had eaten half a sandwich since he got up. By 6 o'clock, he was still too hungry, so he just picked up a plate of snacks and ate them aimlessly while sitting in his seat.
The mother and daughter ate and talked, and started with the conflict between Gu Yunsu and her boyfriend.
"So, have the two of you finished talking it out?" Wu Limei asked.
"No, I guess he's still working overtime."
Wu Limei tried to comfort her a little more, and somehow the topic turned to freezing eggs.
"Now that you have a boyfriend, you won't think about this anymore, right?"
"Who said that?" Gu Yunsu took a sip of his drink and said calmly, "I just don't have money to make trouble."
"You're crazy!" Wu Limei cursed, wishing she could poke her daughter's head with the crab claw in her hand. "If you want to have a baby, just get married to your boyfriend and have the baby yourself."
"If you rely on a mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on a person, they will run away. Don't you know this principle best? My boyfriend may break up with me at any time. Only my eggs are reliable. The eggs of a 28-year-old are better than those of a 29-year-old." Gu Yunsu said, and then asked curiously, "But I don't understand why you are so opposed to it?"
"Then why should I agree? You know how much damage freezing eggs can cause to the body? You young people just don't know the seriousness of the matter. Do you think that all new technologies invented are foolproof?"
To be honest, Gu Yunsu really didn't understand. After the idea came to her, she searched the Internet, but this was not a hot topic and there were not many related reports. She thought that she had no money to do it and it was useless to understand it now. She procrastinated for a while and put the matter aside.
She didn't want to say anything if she wasn't sure, so she said nothing and lowered her head to drink a mouthful of porridge.
I heard Wu Limei say: "Ask around you and me, who has done this? If it's really so good, why don't people do it?"
"Because everyone has no money." said Gu Yunsu.
Wu Limei got angry again: "You don't do it even if you have money! How will others see you if you do this? They will definitely think you are mentally ill!"
"So you are afraid of other people's strange looks?" Gu Yunsu asked, and found it a little funny. "Then you are not afraid of other people's novelty if you want to have a child at your age? Don't blame me for saying it harshly, there must be people who think you are crazy, right?"
"Don't worry about adults' affairs!" Wu Limei couldn't bear to hear it anymore and interrupted her. Seeing Li Jianxiong coming over with a plate, she waved her hand and warned her daughter, "I'm too lazy to tell you. Anyway, I don't allow you to do this and I don't want to talk about this topic anymore. If you keep talking nonsense without knowing the situation, I'll let you know that no matter how old you are, I can discipline you."
Not very offensive, but extremely insulting.
Hearing this, Gu Yunsu thought surprisingly calmly that it was very insulting for an adult to be so high and mighty and to think that he could always control another person.
What gives them such absolute authority that allows them to confidently believe that they can trample children under their feet and make decisions for them at any time?
She knew that Wu Limei meant well and was thinking about her. To be honest, she was not that determined. She just hoped that she could have a perfect backup plan in her life. But if this action really did more harm than good, it was not necessary to do it.
But Wu Limei's attitude still made her uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but want to resist.
Some things are actually caused by rebelliousness.
Li Jianxiong served his wife another plate of shrimp and said, "Eat more." Then he asked casually, "What are you talking about?"
Gu Yunsu said nothing.
She just lowered her head and picked at the plate, thinking regretfully that there was no way she could become friends with Wu Limei. The illusion that she could talk freely with her mother also disappeared completely after she walked out of that situation.
It’s nothing. I’ve been disappointed so many times that I don’t care anymore. There’s no reason to be angry with anyone. She told herself not to hold on to hope so that she wouldn’t be sad.
That night, Wu Limei had diarrhea.
Gu Yunsu was used to being an owl, and she became more energetic as the night went on. When she heard her mother go to the bathroom for the third time, she took the initiative to ask, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Yeah, I have a little diarrhea." Wu Limei replied softly, "Maybe I caught a cold."
Gu Yunsu got up and poured a cup of hot water for Wu Limei to drink, fulfilling his duty but having no other options. He also searched Baidu for what to do if a pregnant woman has diarrhea. After all the searching, he still didn't dare to take medicine, so he took out the baby warmer from his bag and put it on her: "This is the only way."
Wu Limei nodded in agreement, curled up in the quilt, feeling so uncomfortable that she didn't even want to raise her eyes, but she still tried to be polite and said, "I'm fine, go to sleep."
Who dares to sleep like this? If someone dies accidentally, how will they take the responsibility?
Afterwards, Wu Limei went to the restroom twice more. The last time she sat on the toilet for half an hour, which scared Gu Yunsu so much that he was about to break in.
It was the middle of the night. Although she was still conscious, her brain speed was gradually decreasing. After thinking it over, she decided to call Li Jianxiong from next door.
When no one answered the phone, she simply put on her coat and went to knock on the door.
It was Li Yan who opened the door. He was stunned when he saw her and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yunsu looked inside the house but was too embarrassed to go in. Seeing that Li Jianxiong hadn't shown up, he guessed that he was still sleeping soundly in bed. He explained to Li Yan, "My mother has diarrhea, and I want to ask Uncle Li to come and see her."
"Oh." Li Yan turned sideways, thinking Gu Yunsu was going to enter the house.
Gu Yunsu shook his head: "I won't go in. Please help me call your dad."
"Oh." Li Yan responded again and walked back to the house.
Gu Yunsu could only see the end of the bed from where she was standing, but even so, she could see by movement that Li Yan seemed to have patted his father without waking him up, and then swung the pillow and hit his father.
He is truly my biological son.
Gu Yunsu couldn't help laughing out loud in the hotel corridor at four o'clock in the morning.
"Ah!" Li Jianxiong drank unconsciously and woke up from his dream.
Li Yan said something, and a few seconds later Li Jianxiong came out, still half asleep, and asked Gu Yunsu in a daze, "What happened to Meimei?"
Gu Yunsu was talking as he led people to Wu Limei's room. When Li Jianxiong saw his wife's state, he completely sobered up. He rushed over to hold Wu Limei's hand, looking as if the sky was about to fall: "Meimei! What's wrong with you, Meimei!"
Gu Yunsu shuddered, thinking that this uncle was still a roaring person.
Li Jianxiong frowned and thought for a long time, and finally rummaged through the drawers and found a bag of ginger tea for his wife to drink. After he had taken a moment to turn around and saw Gu Yunsu sitting on the other bed, he felt a little embarrassed for some reason.
Although Gu Yunsu looked calm and composed, she was actually very tired. She wanted to solve all the problems as quickly as possible, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
"I think you must be tired..." Li Jianxiong said hesitantly, "Is it better for me to take care of you later?"
Why not? Gu Yunsu thought to herself, to be honest, she called Li Jianxiong over just to save herself some energy. Although it was selfish, she was sleepy! She was sleepy! Since yesterday, including the extra hour in the car, she had only slept for 6 hours in the whole 48 hours. To be honest, she had been sleeping so much that her brain didn't even work anymore. It wasn't an unforgivable sin to long for sleep.
Li Jianxiong then said, "How about... you go to my room and rest for a while?"
Oh... so you are struggling with this.
Gu Yunsu figured out with her remaining vitality that Li Jianxiong was worried about the "gender difference" and felt that it was inappropriate for them and her to "spend the night" in the same room. Indeed, just hearing this made her feel awkward and strange, and it was hard for Li Jianxiong to think so carefully.
But then she thought again, if she was sent to the next room and slept alone with the adult Li Yan, would she not have to worry about the "difference between men and women"?
But at this time, sleep became the top priority. Gu Yunsu didn't want to cause trouble for herself, nor did she have the energy to open her mouth to cause trouble for herself. Li Jianxiong gave her a solution, so she just did it. It was sleepiness that defeated her, so she nodded and left the room without saying a word.
Li Yan had fallen asleep again. Gu Yunsu groped in the dark and found the bed that Li Jianxiong had just used. He didn't have any obsession with cleanliness anymore, so he covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep.
She lost consciousness almost in an instant, and she didn't know how long it had been before she opened her eyes in a daze. What she saw in front of her was Li Yan's big face.
Ya was sitting in the aisle between the two beds, staring at her without blinking.
"Fuck!!!!"
Please forgive Gu Yunsu for saying a swear word the first thing he said on a new day. A frightened person wouldn't care about that.
She stepped back repeatedly, hugged the small blanket in her arms tightly, and her sleepiness was suddenly awakened: "What are you doing!!"
Li Yan looked at her innocently and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I switched with your dad." At this point, he remembered, "How is my mom? What time is it?"
Li Yan was not sure about the first question, so he answered the second one directly: "8:30."
Gu Yunsu felt a headache, closed his eyes and waved his hand: "Go away, I want to sleep a little longer..."
But I didn't hear any movement.
She opened her eyes again, but the other person just sat there without moving.
Gu Yunsu was puzzled: "Why are you still sitting here?"
"Can't I sit here?"
She felt that this man had the ability to make people angry to death, and she was not wrong, there was nothing wrong with him, he was just a little pervert.
Facing the boy who was 10 years younger than him, Gu Yunsu was not so polite. He threw a pillow at him and roared, "Get out! Let me sleep!" He added, "My mother can call me if she has any problems!"
Li Yan finally got up and left.
Gu Yunsu half-closed his eyes, not knowing if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that he saw the other person...
This was a common physiological phenomenon among boys, she told herself, and before she had time to think about it, she fell into "coma" uncontrollably.
