Wen blinked, wondering if she had drunk herself to death.
Otherwise, why would she be able to see Gu Huaixu?
Gu Huaixu, who has already passed away.
Wen Yi was originally drunk and could barely stand, but when she saw Gu Huaixu, she suddenly stood still as if she had been struck by acupuncture, not daring to blink.
She was afraid that if she blinked, Gu Huaixu would be gone.
Wen stood there for a long time, a really long time, staring intently at that face, a bright and beautiful face, like a work of art.
Especially those peach blossom eyes, so captivating and sharp.
"like……"
Wen Yi murmured, reaching out to touch Gu Huaixu's face, but she hesitated, afraid that if she touched him, he would be gone. Yet she longed to touch him; the yearning gnawed at her, and she couldn't help but want to touch him.
Finally, Wen Yi touched Gu Huaixu's face with a trembling hand.
When she first touched him, she was a little scared. But after the second touch, when she was sure that Gu Huaixu wouldn't disappear, Wen Yi's palm touched Gu Huaixu's face.
Gently stroke it.
“It’s my A-Xu.” Her voice choked as she spoke, “It’s my A-Xu, it really is my A-Xu.”
Wen Yi's voice trembled as she couldn't help but step forward again and again.
Now, whether it's a dream or she drank herself to death, it doesn't matter to Wen Yi anymore. What matters is that she saw A Xu.
I finally met Gu Huaixu, whom I had been longing to see.
"Ah Xu, Ah Xu, Ah Xu..."
Wen Yi pressed her face against Gu Huaixu's heart, "I missed you so much."
I really, really want to.
Every night I struggle with painful longing, every day I pretend to be nonchalant, and then I break down alone at night.
Wen closed her eyes and felt the other person pull her into their arms, giving her the greatest sense of satisfaction she had felt in a long time.
“Ah Xu, I can dance now,” Wen Yi suddenly said.
"Oh, really?" Gu Huaixu responded.
When she heard the response, Wen Yi was overjoyed. She was afraid that she would speak but Gu Huaixu would not respond, and that she would exist in her dream like a tool.
Now that Gu Huaixu has responded and given Wen Yi a sense of reality, she doesn't want that sense of reality to disappear, so she seizes on this topic.
"Yes, I just learned it." Wen Yi said, but then suddenly became disappointed. "It's just a pity that I can't dance with you."
It's quite a pity.
For Wen Yi, the first thing that came to mind when Xiao Kongkong taught her to dance and said that she would dance at a banquet in the future was to dance with Gu Huaixu.
Unfortunately, even when she was still lucid, Wen Yi had to use all her strength to suppress such thoughts.
But things are different now.
Now, living a life of debauchery, Wen Yi can freely release all her pain.
"I really... really want to dance with you." When Wen looked up, tears were already welling up in her eyes.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Gu Huaixu, who was still holding her, suddenly let go of her and took a few steps back.
Wen Yi was surprised, "Ah Xu."
Gu Huaixu was still retreating. Wen Yi panicked and subconsciously tried to reach out to grab him, but she couldn't grab him no matter what she did. It was at this moment that Gu Huaixu suddenly stopped.
"Miss Wen Yi, may I invite you to dance?" Gu Huaixu placed his right hand in front of him, extended his left hand towards Wen Yi, and bowed to invite her.
Wen Yi was deeply moved and placed her hand in Gu Huaixu's palm without any hesitation.
She feared that if she hesitated for even a second, Gu Huaixu would disappear.
Gu Huaixu took Wen Yi's hand and led her to the fountain at the back. As he led her to dance in, the fountain lights exploded and melodious music gradually rose. Gu Huaixu led Wen Yi to dance together.
The moonlight is a witness to this dance, the fountain is a witness, the music that rises around us is a witness, and Wen Yi's intoxication is also a witness.
Witnessing this dance also witnesses the emotions between Wen Yi and Gu Huaixu.
Wen Yi thought that no one in the world knew that she had been cherished by the noble second young master of the Gu family, and no one knew that she was healed by the playboy in the eyes of outsiders when she was at her lowest and most desperate.
"If this were really happening, if you were still by my side, that would be...so wonderful."
When the dance ended, Wen Yi stood there quietly watching.
Under the influence of alcohol, she could no longer control herself. She didn't want to fall asleep, but she couldn't resist the exhaustion in her body. Even though she struggled, she couldn't keep her heavy eyes open. The moment she closed her eyes, she completely lost consciousness.
...
The next day.
When Wen Yi regained consciousness, it was already afternoon, and the sunlight was at its peak. Even with the curtains drawn, the sunlight couldn't be blocked. Wen Yi had to stay awake despite her headache.
She sat on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. The dance she had with Gu Huaixu yesterday was still vivid in her memory.
Wen Yi knew that it was just a drunken dream.
She must have mistaken someone else for Gu Huaixu while she was drinking.
Regardless of the reason, now that Wen Yi has woken up, she is facing the Imperial Garden and the fact that she has already married that second master. Wen Yi suppresses all the emotions from yesterday.
She was well aware of her own identity; she was the woman the Second Master of the Imperial Garden had married, and she had no status in the Imperial Garden.
Wen Yi washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs when she ran into Xiao Kongkong.
"Did you sleep well?" Xiao Kongkong asked.
Wen replied politely, "I slept quite well. Thank you for the cocktail and dance yesterday."
"This gratitude doesn't need to be presented to me directly. If you want to give it, give it to Second Master. I'm just following orders."
Wen Yi simply smiled, indicating that he had received Xiao Kongkong's message.
"The Third Young Master, the Fourth Young Master, and Ruan Ruan have all gone to school. They won't be back for the next few days because of school matters. As for the Second Young Master, he's always very busy, and his return time is yet to be determined."
"Does 'Kongkong' mean I can freely spend my time at the Imperial Garden these next few days?"
“That’s what I mean.” Xiao Kongkong nodded. “But it was after dance practice. Yesterday, the Second Madam might have been drunk, and she didn’t quite understand what I said. I can repeat it again.”
Wen nodded without saying anything, but listened to Xiao Kongkong recount what had happened yesterday.
"We'll have three hours after breakfast each day for dance practice. Teachers will come to the Royal Garden at other times, and we'll make arrangements then," Xiao Kongkong said.
Wen Yi readily agreed, "I know."
Before Wen Yi married into the Royal Garden, she had already prepared for the worst, the most tragic events, and even the possibility that her life might end on her wedding night.
Wen never expected that after marrying into the Royal Garden, she would face nothing but studying, studying, and more studying.
For three days, the Second Master from the Imperial Garden did not appear, nor did the Third and Fourth Brothers or Ruan Ruan. Wen Yi's time was filled with studying every day.
On the fourth day, Wen received a phone call, temporarily ending this busy period of studying.
