Inside the hot pot restaurant, someone knocked over a plate of food, making a loud cracking sound. The surrounding noise intensified, and people rushed around. However, Wen Yi and Gu Huaixu seemed to be completely isolated from all of this.
Wen Yi smiled at Gu Huaixu, "I should say I really like it."
Gu Huaixu didn't say anything, but he gripped his chopsticks tightly.
He stared at Wen Yi, the shadow cast by the brim of his hat obscuring Gu Huaixu's eyes, making it impossible for Wen Yi to discern the information in them.
She looked down at the meat in the bowl.
From the moment the pot boiled, the amount of food in the bowl never decreased.
"I really enjoy being taken care of by you like this. Maybe we have some similar experiences, so I always feel that you understand me, and I always feel sorry for you..."
Wen Yi lowered his eyes, a bitter smile on his lips.
When she looked up at Gu Huaixu again, she reached out and took his hand. "So, this feeling I have for you..."
"The food is getting cold, sister."
Gu Huaixu didn't let Wen Yi finish speaking. He pulled his hand out of Wen Yi's hand, picked up his chopsticks again, and piled the already full bowl of food to the brim.
Wen Yi was slightly taken aback, "Ah Xu?"
"Hmm?" Gu Huaixu looked up, a slight smile playing on his lips at Wen Yi. "Sister, don't forget, until you and Gu Zeyu finalize your marriage, you're mine. Forgot?"
Wen Yi was slightly touched.
She originally wanted to have a good talk with Gu Huaixu.
She really liked Gu Huaixu, especially.
There are many kinds of feelings when it comes to liking someone. She felt pity and affection for Gu Huaixu, as well as many other mixed feelings, but she didn't have any desire to get married.
It's not that Wen Yi doesn't want to have it, but that she can't have it.
Whether considering age or social status, the relationship between her and Gu Huaixu was one where, despite their best efforts, they could never get married.
Gu Huaixu understood better than Wen Yi that the relationship between the two of them was only a brief, transgressive one.
From Gu Huaixu's statement that he would help Wen Yicheng and Gu Zeyu, it should be clear that perhaps for a young master of his age, he is curious about an older sister like her.
Once Gu Huaixu's curiosity subsides, their inappropriate relationship will also come to an end.
They might not even live to see Wen Yi and Gu Zeyu finalize their marriage.
Thinking about these details, Wen Yi suddenly felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
"I haven't forgotten." Wen Yi forced a smile, picked up her chopsticks, and lowered her head to eat.
Suddenly, the food lost its aroma.
"Is it not cooked well?" Gu Huaixu asked.
Wen looked up and shook her head. "It's delicious."
She lowered her head and ate the meat in big bites, suppressing her disappointment and sadness.
This time, I came here to have a great time.
It's not about overthinking and letting it affect your mood.
When they return to Haicheng, Wen Yi will no longer be the incompetent daughter in her parents' eyes who can't do anything, and Wen Ge will no longer be the excellent and intelligent second daughter in her parents' stereotypes.
This will completely change the relationship between her and Wen Ge.
After the meal, Wen Yi took Gu Huaixu to the old town.
The old town happened to be there during the Water Splashing Festival, a festival celebrated by ethnic minorities.
The two were walking peacefully outside the crowd when Wen Yi suddenly saw someone carrying a basin of water. She ran over, snatched it, and then splashed it on Gu Huaixu.
Gu Huaixu didn't dodge, and half a basin of water was poured over him.
Luo Jia and Luo Yi, who had been following behind, were so shocked after watching that their whole bodies tensed up, their faces turned pale, and their scalps tingled.
"It's over."
"You're dead!"
The two exchanged a glance, pondering whether they could survive if they went to rescue Wen Yi now.
However……
While Luo Jia and Luo Yi were terrified, the man they expected to be furious suddenly laughed, reached out and pressed Wen Yi's head down, pulled him into his arms, and started teasing him.
Wen Yi tried to dodge and struggle, but Gu Huaixu still grabbed someone else's cup and splashed water on Wen Yi.
"Ah Xu!" Wen Yi said angrily.
"You're allowed to splash me, but I'm not allowed to splash you?" Gu Huaixu mischievously pinched Wen Yi's cheek.
It's so strange, a 27-year-old girl still has baby fat on her face.
"Don't pinch me." Wen Yi angrily bit Gu Huaixu's hand back. Gu Huaixu dodged quickly, but Wen Yi dodged his embrace and jumped directly onto Gu Huaixu's back.
Gu Huaixu almost reflexively carried Wen Yi on his back.
"Ah Xu, I'm tired. Carry me back to the hotel." Wen Yi hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Then you'd better sit tight, sister."
The moment Gu Huaixu finished speaking, he picked up Wen Yi and started running faster.
Wen laughed loudly, releasing all her joyful emotions through that smile.
Luo Jia and Luo Yi walked out from outside the crowd, both of them wearing almost identical expressions of shock.
They looked at each other, then reached out and pinched each other's cheeks.
"Are you sure this isn't a dream?"
"Is that Second Master?"
“I initially thought Second Master was just teasing the Wen family, but judging from the current situation, the privileges he’s giving this Miss Wen are a bit excessive.” Luo Jia shuddered.
“It’s not privilege, it’s indulgence,” Luo Yi said. “When have you ever seen Second Master have so much patience, or taken such good care of anyone?”
Luo Jia shook his head, "Don't talk about these things. With Second Master's personality, he's too lazy to even listen to words, let alone take such patient care of someone."
"Be more careful around this Miss Wen Yi in the future," Luo Yi said earnestly.
The two looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
...
When Wen Yi booked the hotel, she booked a five-star hotel to accommodate Gu Huaixu. It was very expensive, but she didn't mind the cost.
Gu Huaixu carried her on his back the whole way without ever putting her down.
During this time, many people cast meaningful glances at Wen Yi. Wen Yi was quite shy and uncomfortable at first and wanted to get down, but Gu Huaixu wouldn't let her.
"There is no law that says two people can't be affectionate in public."
Wen Yi is the kind of person who is very considerate of other people's feelings, but Gu Huaixu's words made her feel that she shouldn't care about the feelings of strangers. She likes to talk, but it has nothing to do with her.
She nestled against Gu Huaixu's back, her face pressed against his, inhaling his scent and feeling his warmth.
After checking in, Gu Huaixu carried Wen Yi upstairs to their room.
When they swiped their cards to enter the room, Wen Yi and Gu Huaixu were both stunned.
The hotel room was meticulously designed with a romantic atmosphere. The bed was decorated with heart-shaped rose petals, and rose petals were scattered on the floor and table.
While Wen Yi was still in a daze, Gu Huaixu put Wen Yi down.
"So, my sister put so much effort into preparing all this."
"I didn't..."
Before Wen could say a word, Gu Huaixu pushed her against the wall.
But Gu Huaixu was thoughtful. He put one arm around Wen Yi's waist and the other hand to protect the back of Wen Yi's head. When his face got close to Wen Yi's, the light was dim and shone on his face.
Gu Huaixu took off his hat, his peach blossom eyes shimmering with affection, his lips slightly parted as he breathed heavily, and slowly approached Dian Wenyi...
Wen Yi was very nervous, her hands constantly tightening their grip on Gu Huaixu's clothes around his waist.
She didn't know if it was because her clothes were wet or because her palms were sweating from nervousness, but her hands felt sticky, just like her breath...
