Gu Mingzhou decided to visit Lin Qingyan in person.
Before coming, he specially went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought several kilograms of fruit, biscuits, and malted milk powder, a whole lot of stuff.
He brought more things than he had when he used to symbolically visit the Lin family in Beijing.
Furthermore, when he visited Lin Qingyan before, he brought food that was almost all eaten by other members of the Lin family, but he didn't care even though he knew about it.
Because he had no feelings for Lin Qingyan at all, he was just going through the motions to protect her mother's reputation by spending that money, and it didn't matter who ate any of the food.
However, this time he genuinely hoped that Lin Qingyan could accept what he had.
As luck would have it, when he was carrying his things to find Lin Qingyan, he ran into Lin Sisi.
When Lin Sisi saw him carrying a large bag of things, she assumed he was leaving and had bought them specifically for her.
The road to Lin Qingyan's house and the road to the educated youth settlement both pass through here, so he must be going to the educated youth settlement. Lin Sisi was overjoyed and quickly ran over.
Mingzhou finally bought her something, even though it was a little late, just before he was about to leave. But she was happy and delighted as long as he had it.
She quickly greeted him with a smile, but Gu Mingzhou couldn't help but frown when he saw her.
What a coincidence!
Lin Sisi shouldn't have appeared at this time.
Lin Sisi walked over and reached for the bag in Gu Mingzhou's hand. "Brother Mingzhou, thank you for remembering me before you left and buying me so many things. Brother Mingzhou, this must have cost you a lot of money."
But before her hand could even touch the bag, Gu Mingzhou moved it aside.
She froze, staring blankly at Gu Mingzhou in bewilderment.
"Brother Mingzhou."
Wasn't this thing bought for her?
Who would it be for?
Gu Mingzhou's next words confirmed her guess.
"Sisi, these things weren't bought for you."
"Then who is it for?"
Suddenly, a figure flashed into Lin Sisi's mind. Could it be her?
"Never mind who it's for, it's not for you."
Lin Sisi was very angry: "Mingzhou, I'm your boyfriend. If you don't buy me things, who are you going to buy things for? Tell me!"
Gu Mingzhou remained silent and continued walking forward with his things.
"You're going to deliver something to Lin Qingyan, right, Brother Mingzhou? Why are you being so nice to her?"
Gu Mingzhou stopped and turned to look at Lin Sisi: "Sisi, Qingyan is frail, we should care for her more, so don't be jealous of her."
"No, I won't allow you to send her anything." She blocked Gu Mingzhou's path. "Mingzhou, you've never cared about her like this before. Now that you've long since broken off your engagement, why are you still being so nice to her?"
"I... I'm only doing this because of the relationship between my mother and her mother. But your mother has already paid her to settle the debt of gratitude her mother owed your mother." Although she was very reluctant to believe that Gu Mingzhou had feelings for Lin Qingyan again, Gu Mingzhou's various actions proved that he didn't seem to have given up on Lin Qingyan.
"Mingzhou, tell me honestly, have you fallen for Lin Qingyan again?"
"No."
He couldn't let Lin Sisi know.
The thing I regret most in my life is that I wasn't nicer to Lin Qingyan back then. I regret breaking off the engagement with her and I also regret seeing Lin Sisi naked.
If none of this were true, he could rightfully be with the girl he loves, or marry her, and they could be a loving couple.
If he admits that he still likes Lin Qingyan, and Lin Sisi reports him to the military, he'll be finished.
"Sisi, I'm only doing this because Qingyan grew up with us. I only see her as a younger sister now. She's so frail, can't I at least show her some care?"
"She's frail?" Lin Sisi shook her head: "She's not frail anymore. Don't you see she's healthy and energetic now? Her illness was cured a long time ago."
These words struck a nerve with Gu Mingzhou.
They initially disliked her because she was foolish, honest, and sickly.
She seems to have been completely transformed, and he even feels that he is no longer good enough for her.
He had fallen hopelessly in love with her, and nothing could stop him.
“She needs to recover and take care of herself. Sisi, you go back to the educated youth settlement first. I’ll come find you after I’ve delivered the things.”
"No, I won't let you go. You can't go to Lin Qingyan."
Lin Sisi was already feeling very threatened. She was afraid that Gu Mingzhou would get back together with Lin Qingyan, and that she would lose the position of the future military officer's wife that she had sacrificed her innocence to obtain.
"Sisi!"
Gu Mingzhou was angry. He shoved Lin Sisi aside and strode towards Lin Qingyan's house.
Lin Sisi was thrown to the ground by him, and she shed tears of grievance.
"Lin Qingyan, you vixen. Why are you getting better and better? Even Brother Mingzhou is almost yours. I hate you, I hate you to death."
When she is sad, she will subconsciously raise her hand to touch the phoenix jade pendant on her chest.
She wore this thing hoping it would bring her good luck, but instead of protecting her, it brought her bad luck time and time again.
Lin Qingyan didn't have this thing, yet she was able to live a better and better life.
"Why is this happening!" she hissed at the phoenix jade pendant. "You're not auspicious; you're clearly a useless piece of trash."
In a fit of anger, she wanted to take off the jade pendant and throw it away, but she stopped herself just before throwing it.
"Whether this thing can protect her or not, at least it belongs to Lin Qingyan. Anything that belongs to Lin Qingyan, she must hold onto tightly in her own hands."
So she put the jade pendant back around her neck.
Even if Lin Qingyan saw it one day, she would never guess that it belonged to her mother. Lin Qingyan looked at her own treasure without recognizing its value, which made her feel good.
Gu Mingzhou carried his things to find Lin Qingyan, but he was kicked out by Lin Qingyan as soon as he entered the door.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome in my home."
Especially when she saw that Gu Mingzhou was carrying something, four words immediately popped into her mind: "He must be up to no good."
"Qingyan, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I came here specifically to see you."
"I don't need you to come see me."
That day at the hospital, he asked her if she had fallen for Lu Zhengting, and she found him very strange.
Now he's even bringing things to her door, and such a big bag of stuff, more than he ever brought when he visited her before, but she doesn't care anymore.
"Comrade Gu Mingzhou, we have no relationship anymore. If you come here, people will probably misunderstand, especially your fiancée. So, I advise you to leave immediately."
"Qingyan, Sisi won't misunderstand. I just care about you and wanted to come see you. Don't keep people at arm's length."
