Chapter 37 Timely Umbrella

Gu Yunsu fled to her boyfriend's home overnight.

I left in such a hurry that I didn't even bring the charging cord and had to borrow one from Xu Wenbin.

Xu Wenbin could see that his girlfriend was really angry, but he was afraid of being implicated, so he didn't dare to ask. All he did was observe her expression through the rearview mirror the entire way, being cautious and more obedient than ever before.

Gu Yunsu closed his eyes and ignored everyone at first.

I just stood in the cold wind for too long and got a headache. I didn't notice it when I was outside, but once I got in the car and was surrounded by the heater, my head felt like it was pierced by thousands of silver needles and the pain was all over.

She was still angry with Xu Wenbin in her heart, and she didn't look happy when they met. She just said "Don't bother me" and leaned against the car window with her eyes closed.

In the end, I fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, she had arrived at Gu Yunsu's house. Xu Wenbin was too embarrassed to call her and was watching a movie with headphones on.

Gu Yunsu sat up, looked around through the car window, and sighed: "Why are you here?"

Xu Wenbin found it funny: "This is your house, where else can I go if not here?"

Gu Yunsu was confused and stuck in the shell. He seemed to think about it seriously and asked, "Didn't I say that?"

"What?"

"I don't want to go back to my house. I want to go to your house."

Xu Wenbin: …

Xu Wenbin raised his eyebrows, looked at his girlfriend in confusion, and asked with his eyes: "Are you sure?"

Gu Yunsu didn't say anything, but answered with his eyes: I am sure and certain.

Xu Wenbin was speechless for a few seconds.

Then he asked again, "Are you sure?"

Gu Yunsu knew what he meant.

She was already so old, she could still understand some subtitles about love between men and women. She knew that it was her first time staying over at her boyfriend's house, and it was impossible for them to just chat under the covers. But she made this choice at this time, not to seduce Xu Wenbin, she was forced to do so.

She didn't want to face Wu Limei for the time being, and the only friend who didn't want to bother her but could bother her was Luo Jingjing. After thinking about it, she decided that staying at Xu Wenbin's house would be the best choice. Besides, they still had a fight to have, and no one knew how things would turn out, so she wasn't worried at all.

Gu Yunsu was determined, and Xu Wenbin didn't want to be a Liu Xiahui, so he nodded and started the car.

As a result, he was stopped by his girlfriend again.

"Since we're here, I'll go get some clothes downstairs," she said.

After all this trouble, it was already past eight o'clock when we arrived at Xu Wenbin's house.

It was Gu Yunsu’s first time back, and he was still quite fresh. His big eyes rolled around as he looked at the furnishings at home: it was a perfect time to launch a surprise attack, as he had a clear view of the other person’s daily life.

But even with just a cursory glance, she felt that Xu Wenbin's apartment was too shabby. It was even cleaner than her home, a girl's. How could she feel about that?

Then he said in a nitpicking manner: "The light in your house is so white, it's too scary."

Hearing this, Xu Wenbin walked to the switch, turned off the light, and then turned it on again, and the bulb magically turned yellow.

Gu Yunsu stared at the chandelier in silence for a few seconds, then pouted his lips and said, "Okay."

Xu Wenbin smiled and asked her, "What would you like to eat?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yunsu became excited.

"Let's order lobster!" She took out her phone's food delivery app and saw the pizza recommended on the homepage. She was tempted and frowned, unable to make a choice. "The barbecue is also delicious."

Xu Wenbin was helpless and speechless: "Don't cry when you are weighed tomorrow."

"Hey! Threaten me!" Gu Yunsu was forced to rebel when he heard this, and he pointed at all the people he liked.

When people are angry, they have to turn their anger into appetite. When Gu Yunsu was eating wonton noodles with crayfish, he felt that the day was not lived in vain.

She wore a glove on one hand and held chopsticks in the other, and used her hands and mouth at the same time with extraordinary dexterity, peeling shrimps with great efficiency, like a skilled female worker on an assembly line.

Xu Wenbin couldn't help laughing when he saw her like that, and he also said jokingly, "You've got a lot of potential."

As a result, my girlfriend was made anxious.

Gu Yunsu had been holding a knot in her heart and had not found a chance to vent it. This guy had no self-awareness at all, and he even turned around and mocked her? It was like a tiger in plain water being bullied by a dog. If she didn't say anything, he would think she was easy to bully.

She stiffened her neck and glared at him, "That's all you can do. What's wrong? I ordered the takeout. Why can't I eat it?"

"You can eat it," Xu Wenbin did not expect her to react so strongly. He quickly stroked her fur and soothed her, "I just thought you were cute and was joking. Why are you so anxious?"

But Gu Yunsu didn't buy it: "Are you kidding me? I'm such a loser just because I eat a meal? No one has ever said that to me since I was a kid!"

In fact, she knew deep down that she was making a fuss, but was she quarreling over such a simple sentence? This was just an introduction, an opening statement, a brick to lure Bai Yu out.

Xu Wenbin continued to be confused, but his attitude was very good. He immediately admitted his mistake: "Okay, I was wrong."

"Ha." Gu Yunsu sneered, "You admit your mistake so quickly."

"What else can I do?" Xu Wenbin laughed and put his arm around her shoulders. "My girlfriend is in a bad mood and I'm still saying these useless things. It's really my fault."

Oh my god, what a gentle, considerate and lovely person this is.

Part of Gu Yunsu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but the other part of her pushed herself out of Xu Wenbin's embrace in reality, and continued with a sullen face: "It's not just this matter."

"Huh? Anything else?" Xu Wenbin was even more confused.

It's funny to say, Gu Yunsu is actually not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush or be weird. Sometimes when she sees other girls getting angry with their boyfriends in a sour way, she thinks they are coy and mean.

Her consistent principle is to endure if she can, and to say goodbye if she can't endure it. As long as there is no need to argue, she will try her best not to cause trouble to each other.

But the problem was that she was in a bad mood; and she didn't know how to say it without seeming to be petty about such a small matter as not replying to the message in time.

Seeing her like this, Xu Wenbin kindly urged her, "Is there anything else? Tell me."

Gu Yunsu then stomped his feet in anger and said whatever he wanted to say: "Why is it that when we send WeChat messages, no one responds to you halfway through?"

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he explained in a venting manner: "It's not just this time, it's always like this. You disappear while we're chatting. I know you're busy, but can you tell me before you disappear? And most of the time you take the initiative to chat with me! Is it fun to be so incoherent?"

She spoke very angrily, and in fact she felt very guilty. However, this time she did not feel that she was making a big deal out of nothing, but that she felt embarrassed.

Modern women clamor every day to be independent, strong, and not afraid of age to be their truest selves, but how many of them can really do whatever they want regardless of age or occasion?

At the age of 28, it is time for her to become an adult, to be rational and smart, to know how to see the reality clearly, to control her emotions, and to leave room for maneuver when doing things. How can she be like her, getting angry and sad and yelling over such a small matter?

Is it true that no matter how old a person is, once he gets involved in love, he will become childish and stingy?

She knew that she shouldn't quarrel with Xu Wenbin now. Emotionally, she had been rejected by her family, so she should hold on to her lover, who was closest to her. Logically, she was still planning to stay in his house temporarily, so it was not right for her to be too ostentatious and overbearing.

But she couldn't control it, she just felt wronged, not towards Xu Wenbin, but the realization that she had tried her best but had failed in all her emotional relationships made her feel helpless.

As she spoke, she was prepared for the worst.

If Xu Wenbin became impatient, she would break up with him immediately and leave. It was no big deal, just another failed love experience.

They, women, are best at tragedy.

She frowned, like a child who wanted to cry but was holding back her tears. She was so angry that even she found it ridiculous.

Then, she heard Xu Wenbin say in the most gentle way possible: "I understand."

Gu Yunsu: “Hmm?”

She looked up at him, a little surprised and a little angry: "It's over? What's your attitude now? Are you just trying to fool me?"

Xu Wenbin laughed: "How could I?" He then promptly explained, "I didn't know you cared before, but now I know, and I won't be like that anymore."

Gu Yunsu was a little dumbfounded.

Compared to the arguments, resentment, and impatience she had imagined would arise, wasn't this matter too easy to resolve?

Without sarcasm, competition, or the petty arguments of "you say I'm A and I'll say you're B", can problems between couples be solved so healthily and quickly?

Gu Yunsu once had a boyfriend whose motto was "I love you so much, but you..." No matter what opinions she put forward, he would always end up bringing this up.

Even Gu Yunsu could see that the other party did not want emotional kidnapping, but felt from the bottom of his heart that "everything I do is because of love for you" and "because I love you, everything I do can be forgiven." The other party has never done anything biased, but what she can't stand is that you can't talk to him without feelings. He thinks that the relationship between the two of you is so close that everything you say and do cannot be viewed without feelings.

"But I just want to tell you not to keep calling me to wake me up. I have an alarm clock and what does this have to do with love?" she once roared in her heart.

Later, when she was with Qin Yuxuan, it was a completely different situation. If the same topic today happened between her and Qin Yuxuan, the other party would most likely accept her opinion, but this acceptance would definitely be accompanied by impatience, questions like "Why are you so petty?", and the other party's "In that case, I also have a suggestion for you." She originally thought that if she didn't love him enough, she could discuss some topics rationally, but she found that this only became an excuse for the other party to treat her harshly.

Those who love her very much and those who don't love her are all the same. Gu Yunsu understood that, haha, no man in love is reasonable.

But today, Xu Wenbin broke her inherent prejudice.

I feel weird.

Especially since it's not a big deal, it's even more strange that she's so shocked.

At the age of 28, Gu Yunsu is still a timid kid who is afraid of his lover's strange looks.

But Xu Wenbin smiled, as if he had seen through her mask. He held her face, wrinkled his nose at her, and asked jokingly, "Why are you so surprised? Do you think I'm special?"

The same word feels completely different coming out of the other person's mouth and her own mouth. Those feelings that she considered to be flaws and carefully hidden seem so insignificant when the other person says them, as if they were something as natural as air.

If she said she wanted to cry, wouldn't it seem a little contrived?

Xu Wenbin's eyes seemed to be hot, like two 275-watt bathroom heater bulbs.

Gu Yunsu's head was still on the other person's hand. He was about to cry one second, but the next second he was smiling like a pig.

Xu Wenbin had no idea what she looked like in the other person's eyes, and was still looking at her tenderly. How could she describe that look? Gu Yunsu was a little embarrassed to describe it. She felt that once this word appeared, she would transform into the naive and sweet Versailles heroine in Marilyn Sue's literature. But that look could only be described as "indulging"!

She softened unconsciously.

But at the same time, alarm bells rang in my heart: Oh no, the atmosphere is starting to get tense.
