Chapter 40 Sweet Moment
Gu Yunsu originally didn't want to pay attention to Luo Jingjing's nonsense, but she found out that she was heartbroken.
Luo Jingjing seemed not to care, but her voice was a little sharper than usual. No one else could hear the slight difference, but Gu Yunsu, as her closest friend, noticed it: the sister was unhappy.
The soup pot was bubbling and steaming on the induction cooker. Xu Wenbin sat beside it, looking at his girlfriend in confusion, wondering what was going on with the person on the other end of the line.
Gu Yunsu hesitated for a few seconds holding the phone, and finally said, "Why don't you come over here."
Then I saw Xu Wenbin's eyes widened for unknown reasons.
After hanging up the phone, she explained, "She's my best friend. How could I leave her alone after she's broken up? If she really goes to a nightclub and gets drunk, wouldn't that make social news?" She called him cutely, "Don't you agree, brother?"
Xu Wenbin immediately softened his heart. He could not refuse anymore and could only think positively: Never mind, the fact that his girlfriend was willing to invite her good friends to his house was at least a recognition of him.
Twenty minutes later, Luo Jingjing arrived at her destination carrying two bottles of beer.
Because of a breakup, she was in a bad mood. She looked at men with hostility and even greeted them in a threatening way: "You are the one who kidnapped our girl?"
Gu Yunsu laughed in the middle: "Come quickly, we haven't eaten because we are waiting for you."
Dinner for three people doesn't taste that sweet.
Xu Wenbin felt the beef in his mouth turn bitter as he listened to Luo Jingjing telling him her breakup story without any hesitation and successfully attracting his girlfriend's full attention.
He picked up some food for Gu Yunsu and said, "Eat more."
Gu Yunsu nodded without even looking at him, and only echoed Luo Jingjing: "I told you long ago, this guy is unreliable."
Luo Jingjing took a sip of beer viciously: "No man is trustworthy!" She grabbed her sister's hand and said as if no one was around, "Don't trust men, their words are like farts! In the end, we still have to rely on each other!"
Even though Xu Wenbin was a good person, he couldn't help but say, "Miss, I'm still here."
"So?" Luo Jingjing had already finished 7 cans of beer. She wasn't drunk, but she couldn't hide her temper any longer. She half-raised her eyelids and acted like a big boss. "I don't care whether you're here or not!"
Then he looked at Gu Yunsu with a sad face: "Baby, promise me that you will not look for a man in life and would rather walk alone, okay?"
Gu Yunsu said okay, okay, and Xu Wenbin clicked his tongue beside him.
Luo Jingjing: "What are you saying?!"
Xu Wenbin: "If you want to be alone forever, it's up to you. Why are you brainwashing others? My girlfriend doesn't look for other men or me, so is she looking for you?"
Luo Jingjing: "Oh, that sounds good, but what if you wear off the freshness? If you leave as soon as you say so, what will she do?!"
Gu Yunsu wanted to interrupt and say, it's not known who will go over first, she is not such a weak and helpless little thing.
But before she could open her mouth, Xu Wenbin asked again: "How do you know that my freshness will pass? What if I can be fresh forever?"
Ah...Gu Yunsu felt sweet in his heart. The word "a lifetime" sounds nice.
Luo Jingjing also paused, then as if she remembered something, she snorted with disdain and anger: "When you like someone, of course you can say all kinds of sweet words! In the end, they are all liars! Who can accompany whom for a lifetime?"
"Were you deceived?" Xu Wenbin was helpless. He didn't know how he got emotional because of Luo Jingjing. He said, "You must come to my wedding with Su Su, and to our golden wedding anniversary. You must come to any weddings in the future to see who will be with whom for the rest of their lives."
Gu Yunsu hid aside, grinning happily like a little mouse that had eaten oil.
It's surprising that such sweet words like "I hate you" can be said so easily.
Gu Yunsu likes carefully prepared touching moments. The point is not the form, which always makes people boring. The point is the carefulness. She likes the sincerity hidden behind the actions and words.
She loves to feel loved by others.
But being careless is more exciting than being carefully prepared.
Because it is a subconscious behavior without thinking or beautification, it can better reflect the sincerity.
Xu Wenbin even mentioned the term "golden wedding", so he really wanted to be with me for a long time, right?
Gu Yunsu secretly glanced at the other person, and the sweetness in her heart made her face blush. Who doesn't want to hear her boyfriend fantasize about having a future with her? Even a tough guy like Gu Yunsu would be moved by such worldly fantasies and become romantic for a rare time.
She was so immersed in her own world that she could not hear anything else.
And it was at this moment, the moment when her mind was wandering and she failed to change the topic in time to ease her sister's mood, that Luo Jingjing stared at Xu Wenbin, not knowing what she was thinking, or perhaps because she was drunk, and she burst into tears.
"Hey, this..." Xu Wenbin was also at a loss.
Luo Jingjing burst into tears, and while crying she yelled, "I also want this kind of sweet love! When will it be my turn to have this kind of fairy love?" She took a breath and continued, "Wuwuwu, this couple is so good! I can live without a man, but the couple I love must have a happy ending!"
Xu Wenbin: ???
Gu Yunsu glared at her boyfriend, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and looked for a tissue to wipe Luo Jingjing's tears.
In the second half of the dinner, Luo Jingjing acted like a drunk for a while. She was so arrogant in this relationship that she thought the other party was devoted to her and would be together for the rest of his life, so she was caught off guard by the other party's proposal to break up.
Xu Wenbin just held his head in pain and watched his girlfriend's girlfriend go crazy in silence.
After finally sending Luo Jingjing away, Xu Wenbin felt exhausted. "Baby, you girls are all so..." when you break up. He couldn't find any other words to describe it. "...Is it exaggerated?"
Gu Yunsu was touched by the sweet word "baby", but at the same time she found it funny that her boyfriend was so naive:
"What are you talking about? Have you never had a drink with a friend who has been heartbroken?"
Xu Wenbin thought about it carefully and curled his lips: "It feels like it can be traced back to college days."
What does it mean? Is this a subtle way of saying that men are more rational and mature?
Gu Yunsu was unhappy and said in a gloomy tone: "That only proves that you are old."
Xu Wenbin is actually only half a year older than Gu Yunsu, but the two went to school in different years, so there is always a one-year difference between them.
It's as if all life experiences are out of sync.
In the evening, after taking a shower, the two of them curled up on the sofa and watched old movies, chatting about their childhood.
Xu Wenbin said that he had always been a well-behaved child when he was young. He first felt that life was interesting during his freshman year in college. He joined various clubs, learned to play the guitar, and participated in singing competitions at school, becoming a little famous.
"At that time, I was studying hard and trying to escape from the sea of suffering." Gu Yunsu leaned lazily on the other's shoulder and played with Xu Wenbin's hand. "When I was free to play, you were studying hard again."
Xu Wenbin later went to study in the UK and started preparing for the English test in his sophomore year. He can be said to be diligent.
He nodded: "Then I came back to work and became a hard-working worker."
Gu Yunsu thought about it and found it funny. He concluded: "It's strange. When you are happy, I am in pain. When you are in pain, I am happy. Why are we always the opposite?"
Xu Wenbin also laughed softly, and then kissed his girlfriend on the forehead: "But from now on, we are in step with each other."
Ah, this man always speaks sweet words so perfectly.
So cute.
On the screen, the heroine found the hero who was playing the piano and they flirted in the empty hall.
The atmosphere was just right, and the two people outside the screen couldn't help but get together and fool around.
After finishing, Gu Yunsu slumped on the sofa, sweating profusely. After hesitating for a while, he took the initiative to ask: "Do you know what I was thinking about yesterday?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Xu Wenbin lay on his side facing her, his head supported by his arms, looking at her with tender eyes.
Gu Yunsu felt a sense of peace from this and couldn't help but want to speak out what was in his heart.
She talked about herself, then Wu Limei, then Li Jianxiong, then Luo Jingjing, she talked about friendship, love, marriage, then herself. Gu Yunsu didn't even know that she loved to talk so much, she could talk for hours without stopping without Xu Wenbin's response.
All the confusion and anxiety from the past found an outlet at this moment and jumped out impatiently.
She remembered that her psychiatrist had advised her to talk to others more often.
But in modern society, everyone has accumulated a lot of negative energy. Who really has the patience to listen to her talk about these nonsense?
Gu Yunsu was afraid that others would be bored, so she carefully measured the extent of her confession. It was more tiring than saying nothing, and she couldn't get any response that could really comfort her, so she simply stopped talking.
Maybe I have been suppressing my emotions for too long and finally I couldn't help but explode.
After she had finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. She carefully observed the other person's expression in the dark, smiled in a disingenuous manner, and said, "How can I be so talkative..."
She worries that the other person will be afraid of her and think she is a weirdo, and even if they are very close, there will be a sense of rejection.
She was still struggling, wanting to hide but unable to, feeling regretful and anxious, and not even daring to look into her boyfriend's eyes.
But at this moment, a pair of hands gently held hers, pulled them to her mouth and kissed them lightly.
In the quiet night, she heard him say, "Thank you for your hard work."
It was as if the body that had been tightly bound for a long time had finally gained the long-awaited freedom in an instant. All her sadness, fatigue, and even her stubbornness that refused to give up were felt by another person. That person did not take these for granted, but was considerate of her difficulties and tried hard to comfort her.
Her chest felt hot and her heart was shaking uncontrollably. She knew that her excitement must be exaggerated and ridiculous in the eyes of others. Maybe when she opened her eyes tomorrow, she would think so too. But at this moment, she had no time to care about anything else and was just trying not to cry too hard.
Xu Wenbin held her in his arms, stroking her back again and again to soothe her fragile nerves.
After a long time, she gradually stopped crying.
She heard the other person calling her name: "Su Su."
She nestled in his arms, the vibration of his vocal cords transmitted to her through his chest, making her want to laugh.
"Hmm?" she responded.
Xu Wenbin asked her, "Shall we get married?"
