She mentioned him in her last letter home, but she wrote it secretly behind his back.
Now I can finally tell him. He's my boyfriend now, by all accounts.
Gu Chongming was clearly very happy, but now he inexplicably became shy and tried to remain calm, pretending in front of her that he wasn't as overjoyed as he thought.
Even when trying to suppress his emotions, the corners of his lips still stubbornly curled up high.
He even pretended to raise his hand to cover his nose, hiding the smile on his lips, and coughed lightly, saying, "I'm actually not in a hurry."
See through it but don't say it.
Xue Fu raised her delicate eyebrows and continued, following his words: "Alright, alright, I was just being impatient."
Gu Chong: !
When the two of them returned to the Gu family home in an oxcart, Gu Fei, who was on winter vacation, went out to play with his friends.
There are only the two of them at home.
Before Xue Fu could even sit down and catch her breath, Gu Chong grabbed her wrist and led her into his bedroom in a few steps.
The man had been holding it in all the way, and as soon as he entered the house, he closed the door, and the light immediately dimmed.
Gu Chong bent down and hugged her tightly, his hands firmly around her waist. He buried his head in the crook of her neck, rubbing the scarf around her neck off so that his warm breath touched her skin.
His thin lips were slightly cool as he gently pressed them against her slender neck, sucking on her with a touch of intensity.
Xue Fu gasped instinctively, but did not struggle, letting him kiss her with his lips and tongue.
Breathing filled the room, and Xue Fu could hear the thumping of a heartbeat, a little rapid.
She was certain that it was Gu Chong's heartbeat.
It was revealed by the heat rising from his body.
"Don't leave any marks."
Xue Fu raised her face slightly, nuzzled his head which was buried in the crook of her neck, and mumbled something.
It's too embarrassing to have a hickey on your neck.
She'll be laughed at by the girls when she goes back to the educated youth dormitory.
Gu Chong took a deep breath, suppressing his urge to suckle deeply.
He sighed softly, licking the spot he had just sucked with his tongue, then gently bit down on his collarbone, taking a deep breath to calm himself.
"Hmm, there's no trace. Don't be afraid."
He lifted his eyelids to look at her skin, which was slightly flushed from the kisses, and comforted her while inwardly despising himself, thinking, "What a scoundrel."
Xue Fu stroked his hair and thought he was obedient.
Gu Chong's hair is somewhat stiff.
When he went on a trip to Shenzhen a while ago, he took the time to get a neat buzz cut from the local barber for five cents.
Although my hair has grown a little longer during this time, the tips still feel prickly to the touch.
Xue Fu thought for a moment and said to him, "I think you look better with your hair longer."
His buzz cut made him look cold and fierce, as if someone had offended him; he had the air of a mob boss.
Although Xue Fu wasn't afraid, after looking at her for a while, she would start to have the illusion that she was some kind of bandit's wife or a gangster's woman.
Moreover, a buzz cut doesn't feel good to the touch.
Sometimes, he would bend down to kiss her, like now, kissing her below the neck. The tips of his short, buzz-cut hair would brush against her skin, sending a tingling, itchy, and prickly sensation through her.
She was more used to his hair when it was longer; it felt softer and more comfortable to stroke his head.
Gu Chong nodded immediately: "Okay."
He became whatever she liked about him!
"Oh, right." Before leaving, Xue Fu took the things she had bought for herself, looked him up and down carefully for a few moments, and hesitated slightly.
"You take one of these two boxes of face cream, and Xiao Fei takes the other," she said, pointing to the two boxes of face cream on the table. "You know how to use face cream, right?"
It's simply because Gu Chong lived such a rough life.
She couldn't help but have doubts.
She explained simply, "Just apply a small amount to your face before bed and spread it evenly. Don't be stingy! I'll buy you more when you run out! We can afford it!"
Gu Chong's lips were pressed into a thin line as he listened attentively, nodding, "Yes, I understand."
So Xue Fu left satisfied.
ยท
Ever since Xue Fu and Gu Chong got together and the news spread, for a while, whenever she met someone on the street, they would come up to her and say a few words.
Unlike the unpleasant rumors that circulated before, Xue Fu and Gu Chong are now officially dating, their relationship is public and can be seen in the open, so there will be no more of those unfounded and ambiguous gossips.
At least during this period, Xue Fu and Gu Chong's reputation has improved and is not bad.
When Xue Fu was asked about Gu Chong by these people, they didn't mean any harm; they were just curious and gossipy.
So Xue Fu was able to say a few words to them, but at first she was still shy and blushed a little.
But after being teased like this so many times, Xue Fu's mentality was also trained, she became thick-skinned and got used to it.
She remained unmoved by these teasing remarks. Sometimes, she would even retort with a few words of her own.
But recently, perhaps because of the onset of winter, with no crops to tend to in the fields and no work to do, everyone has been staying home and idling away from home.
During this free time, everyone took advantage of the break to hold their major events in a lively and bustling manner.
For example, celebrations such as a baby's one-month birthday, an elderly person's birthday, and weddings, etc...
Many of them got married.
In the commune, someone would hold a wedding banquet almost every two days.
Two girls from Qingtang Village got married this week, one of whom married into the same village, moving from one end of the village to the other.
Another girl married into another commune, about eight or nine miles away.
Besides the girls getting married, there's also a young man in the village getting married.
Coincidentally, the man who married the woman lived about 20 meters away from the educated youth settlement, quite close by.
Because of the new bride, the family built two new houses next to their original homestead.
A while ago, when the people from the educated youth settlement passed by on their way to and from work, they could see this family busy building a new house.
The people at the educated youth settlement didn't have much interaction with the villagers. Even though this family lived nearby, they never visited each other.
On the day the eldest son of this family got married, naturally no one from the educated youth settlement went to attend the ceremony.
Even though no one went, the firecrackers for the wedding still reached their educated youth settlement, adding a touch of liveliness to the quiet courtyard.
Xue Fu continued to eat her three meals a day at the Gu family's house as usual.
However, recently the villagers have started asking her other questions.
They were too outgoing and started pressuring each other to get married.
In particular, they all knew Gu Chong's age and knew him inside and out.
A 22-year-old man who is still unmarried is a rare sight in the surrounding communes.
People generally get married young these days, and early marriage and childbirth are encouraged.
Getting married late makes you seem like an oddball.
Some people might even think that if you get married late or don't get married at all, it must be because you have a problem, that you're afraid to get married, or that you're afraid people will find out about your flaws.
