Captain Gu, who had not slept in a bed for a long time, had a stiff neck.
He twisted his sore neck, stretched out his hand to touch the note under the pillow, and tilted his neck to look at the person next to him.
It was still daylight, and the night light shone on each other's faces, outlining a beautiful outline.
Captain Gu pursed his lips and looked at Su Nianmei's closed eyes, her eyelashes casting a faint shadow, and her chest rising and falling with her breathing.
His breathing suddenly tightened and his eyes moved up in panic, and he found that her little earlobes looked even rounder and cuter in the light.
Gu Xichao's throat moved, and he leaned down slightly——
Drop a kiss gently.
good morning!
Su Nianmei felt a chill in her ears, frowned, and unconsciously let out a muffled groan with some impatience.
His eyes opened slightly, as if he was about to wake up.
Captain Gu shrank back with one of his long legs on the ground.
Su Nianmei raised her hand again.
Captain Gu held his breath, his other long leg hanging lightly in the air, and suddenly retracted it. A muffled sound came from the wooden bed, and Captain Gu's calm face changed a little, and his ears turned red.
The woman on the bed raised her hand to scratch her ear, then turned over and continued to sleep, her mouth half closed and her lips beautiful.
Captain Gu covered his legs with his hands, his mouth corners slightly raised, like a cat stealing some fish.
——
Early in the morning, when Su Nianmei got up, Gu Xichao had already left. Su Nianmei saw the quilt folded into a square next to her. She stretched out her fingers and touched the corners of the quilt. A small part of it collapsed, and her slender hands pinched it straight again.
Gently sniffing the quilt, my heartbeat quickened a little, my eyes darted around, revealing annoyance, how could I really...
Sleeping in a bed.
Her cheeks were hot, and she didn't know whether it was out of shame or annoyance. Her fingertips that were touching the corner of the quilt were also slightly hot, as if she was touching his body and feeling his body temperature.
She suddenly withdrew her fingertips, and a cold smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. How could he love her?
The marriage between the two was only in formality. His body had become eighteen years old and his age had really become eighteen years old. He had forgotten all the real and fake faces he had seen before.
Su Nianmei thought about it and remembered Captain Gu’s handsome face and the determination under his military uniform, and she let out a long sigh.
She is Su Nianmei, but she is no longer the original Su Nianmei. She is herself and her life is up to her to decide!
Su Nianmei opened the door and found the little kid lying at the door, hesitant.
Su Nianmei was a little curious, so she squatted down and held Gu Xiaobao in her arms. "Baby, why don't you go in?"
Gu Xiaobao raised his head and blinked, feeling a little aggrieved. "Dad said that if I just walked into your room, I won't have a younger sister in the future, Xiaobao..." Gu Xiaobao said, tears still tending to fall.
Su Nianmei looked at Gu Xiaobao's pitiful appearance and thought of herself in the past, and her heart softened again. The matter of having a younger sister hasn't even started yet, but the little guy keeps talking about wanting a younger sister.
She picked up Gu Xiaobao and went into the room, opened the second cabinet, fumbled around for a long time, and took out a small box of wedding candy.
It was that early kind of fruit candy, and this was the can left over from when we got married.
He opened the lid, took out a candy and put it into Gu Xiaobao's palm.
She sat next to Gu Xiaobao, put her arm around him, and scratched the tip of his nose with her hand. "Baby, if you have a sister in the future, she will snatch the candy from you."
Gu Xiaobao raised his head and said seriously, "Then I will give half of the candy to my sister. Dad said that good things should be shared."
Su Nianmei looked at Gu Xiaobao and rubbed his soft little face.
Su Nianmei took Gu Xiaobao to the old building of the art troupe. Shen Qingrou didn't come today, so Su Nianmei practiced dancing by herself, sent Gu Xiaobao back home, and went to Ma Fang to get clothes.
I had asked Ma Fang to help me borrow a set of clothes from the art troupe.
Ma Fang works in the Academy Committee. Normally, the Academy Committee doesn't have much to do, but as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, several meetings are organized a day. Most of the participants are familiar people, and after a while of being serious, they start talking about other things.
Gossiping about other people. Where there are people, there must be topics.
One moment he talks about the Ma family, the next moment he talks about the Shi family.
Everyone gathered around a round table. The woman sitting in the middle was talking loudly, holding a handful of melon seeds in one hand and spitting out the melon seed shells as she spoke. "I say, the daughter-in-law of the Gu family is not a good person either! Didn't the Shi family kid just push Xiaobao and then make a scene in the hospital? Tell me, is Shi Aijun's recent investigation related to this?"
The thin woman sitting next to her bumped into her arm and said, "Hey, Shi Aijun can't even clear up his own mess, how can you blame the Gu family? He can't even explain what happened to his adopted sister. The Gu family's daughter-in-law did the right thing. If anyone dares to bully my child, I will go to her house with a rolling pin."
The woman in the middle: "In my opinion, the daughter-in-law of the Gu family has no sense of propriety. She is a country girl with a narrow mind. She was very timid a while ago. Although she is always making noises, she is still as soft as tofu and can be manipulated by others. Recently, she has courage and dares to take the lead. I don't know who gave her the courage to represent the hospital to compete with the art troupe. If she loses face, it will ruin the reputation of our hospital!"
The woman wanted to say something else, but when she looked up, she met Su Nianmei's eyes. She didn't know whether to spit out the melon seed shell in her mouth.
The air suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of spitting melon seeds.
Su Nianmei remembered that the person in the middle was Niu Caihui, the city representative of the family compound. She had seen the original owner several times when the original owner first came, but the original owner ignored her, and thus they had a grudge against each other.
Su Nianmei smiled at Niu Caihui and politely called her "Sister Niu."
Niu Caihui's face turned pale. Everyone in the compound knew that she had not given birth to a child for her lover Zhang Jianguo for so many years. The ancients said that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. She hated it most when people called her Sister Niu. No matter who in the compound saw her, they had to politely call her Sister Zhang. Su Nianmei's calling her Sister Niu today was clearly a mockery of her.
Niu Caihui shook her face and said, "Oh, it turns out that our busy man is here. How is the program preparation going? Don't let us down when the time comes."
Su Nianmei: “…” If you can do it, go ahead.
Su Nianmei curved her lips, "Sister-in-law Niu, please rest assured of my ability. If you think it's not up to you, I will give way to someone more capable. After all, it was Sister-in-law Zhao who asked me to do this job. We have a short time and a heavy task, so we have to do it well."
She had to make things clear, otherwise these people wouldn't know how to frame her. There is no need for her to show mercy to those who bully Xiaobao. Sometimes, if you give others too much face, the other party will just climb up the pole.
Seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, Ma Fang came out to smooth things over. She took out a small bag from the inner room and handed it to Su Nianmei. "Xiaomei, I have great confidence in your ability. This is the clothes I lent you. Go back and try them on to see if they fit you. If not, we can change them. You are the pillar of our courtyard, so you must perform well."
Su Nianmei took the bag and said, "My performance is good, but I'm afraid that I'll make a fool of myself and everyone will laugh at me." She looked up at Niu Caihui and said, "Sister Niu is still worried about me."
Niu Caihui held melon seeds in her hand and said viciously, "The person that Zhang's sister-in-law is looking at must be fine. Even if there is a problem, Captain Gu's worth is there, so there won't be any problem."
Su Nianmei pinched the edge of the bag and said, "Then I will take your kind words, sister-in-law." She looked at Ma Fang again and said, "The child is still at home. I won't stay long. Sister-in-law, let's talk next time we meet. I'm leaving first."
Then he looked at the people sitting there and said, "Sisters-in-law, have a good chat. I'm leaving first."
Ma Fang escorted Su Nianmei out of the room. "Xiaomei, it was my sister-in-law who didn't choose the right time. I'm sorry for you. Don't pay attention to what they say. Don't get into a fight with them during this period. I heard from the higher-ups that Captain Gu will be transferred soon. We can't let anything go wrong at this critical moment."
Su Nianmei was wondering why she didn't know that Gu Xichao was going to be transferred. There was something unusual in the look he gave Ma Fang, and he nodded a few times before leaving.
She originally thought that Ma Fang was an honest person, but now it seems that she is more shrewd than anyone else. Su Nianmei doesn't hate such people. There are many such people in the workplace, but dealing with them can be a bit tiring.
After Su Nianmei left, Niu Caihui glanced at the woman next to her and said, "You are the only one who talks too much. You are the only one who knows how to talk. Why didn't anyone remind me when everyone was here?"
The thin woman smiled and didn't say anything. I bumped into you just now. It was your fault for not paying attention. Who can you blame?
After Su Nianmei returned home, she entered the room and took out her clothes. Thinking that there was no one at home except Xiaobao, I didn't lock the door.
She happily took out the dress, which was a royal blue cheongsam with the slits at the right position, neither too conservative nor too revealing. A pair of plum blossom buttons stretches the lines of the entire upper part of the cheongsam, making it simple, elegant and exquisite. The collar is embroidered with a branch of white plum blossoms extending naturally without any extra patterns. The whole cheongsam exudes an elegant atmosphere. The zipper of the modified cheongsam is hidden at the back waist.
Su Nianmei put on the cheongsam, reached out to the zipper to her shoulders but couldn't pull it up. Su Nianmei called Xiaobao several times but there was no response.
The door suddenly opened, Gu Xichao stood at the door and looked at Su Nianmei. The woman had her back to him, her cheongsam outlining her graceful figure. The royal blue cheongsam made her look mature. Her hair was piled on top of her head, and the hair that hung down casually gave her a hint of girlish playfulness. Her neck was long and her fair skin was exposed to the sun.
Captain Gu felt his heart itching again.
Su Nianmei heard someone coming in and thought that Gu Xiaobao had come in. She asked, "Baby, can you help mommy zip up?"
Gu Xichao paused, not knowing whether to go forward or backward.
Su Nianmei urged a few more times, "Baby, Mommy is a little cold."
The hesitant Captain Gu immediately strode forward.
Su Nianmei was still worried that Gu Xiaobao wouldn't know how to zip up, so she said gently, "Baby, the zipper is on my back, help me lift it—"
Before Su Nianmei could finish her words, the zipper on her back was neatly closed and a blanket was wrapped around her body.
Su Nianmei felt something was wrong and turned her head to look back. Gu Xichao was standing behind her with a serious face. "If it's cold, wear more clothes. What if you get frozen?"
The author has something to say: There is a kind of cold that makes Captain Gu feel that you are cold.
Congratulations to Captain Xiao Gu for achieving today’s achievement – receiving a kiss!
