Ji Yu'an's search this time was destined to be in vain. He searched the entire Sujia Village but couldn't find a man named Su Dazhuang, so he returned home disappointed.
Gu Xichao felt that Su Nianmei had changed recently, as if a different person had become inside her. Her daily life was filled with studying, and she wished she could immerse herself in books.
Gu Xichao thought that it might be because Su Nianmei was nervous because of the upcoming college entrance examination.
But the love of young people is often like waves, turbulent and hot. However, Su Nianmei is mature beyond her years. Her eighteen-year-old body contains the soul of a twenty-eight-year-old.
A girl's feelings come fiercely and retreat just as violently.
When the surging tide recedes, what is revealed is the dark yet clear reality. It is pitch black ahead, but bright underfoot. It was so bright that it was blinding at times.
She couldn't hide from herself the fact that Gu Xichao once had a lover.
When you like someone, you think you only like him; when he is cute, you think of his whole world.
She can be ecstatic, anxious, or depressed.
Gu Xichao once liked and loved another woman. He was with her, cooked for her, and took care of her. They even held hands, kissed, and did the most intimate things between lovers, and even had a child.
When she thought of this, the seeds of jealousy took root in her heart, making her feel anxious and upset.
But she didn't dare to question Gu Xichao. She was afraid that their relationship would break down. She was afraid that the woman would rekindle her old feelings. She was even more afraid that what she was experiencing was a dream, and when she woke up, she would become the pitiful Su Nianmei from her previous life again.
Therefore, she had no choice but to ignore it.
She wanted to make herself a match for Gu Xichao, and she wanted to make herself confident enough to stand beside Gu Xichao until she was fearless.
She sorted out the timeline. Gu Baiting came to Beijing this time to promote a cooperation, and this cooperation determined Gu Baiting's business destiny. However, Gu Baiting was facing the problem of tight capital turnover. Perhaps he was ashamed to ask Gu Xichao for help in his previous life, or perhaps he did not take this cooperation seriously, which led to Gu Baiting missing the opportunity.
What she has to do now is to invest in Gu Baiting so that he can realize his ambitions, whether it is to provide timely assistance or to add icing on the cake.
She wanted Gu Xichao to know her good side, and also wanted his family to know her good side, and wanted Gu Xichao to gradually become dependent on her.
She felt like the fairy in the Pansi Cave, who had woven the web and was eagerly waiting for Gu Xichao to jump in.
The days passed slowly and the weather warmed up. In February and March, Su Nianmei moved to the school dormitory to prepare for the final review sprint. Gu Xichao was busy with work and couldn't stay at home all day, so his mother and father moved to Kyoto to take care of Gu Xiaobao.
It was not until June, when the sun was scorching the earth, that Gu Xichao saw Su Nianmei.
Indeed, he was intentionally trying to avoid Su Nianmei.
As the days went by, his love deepened, and his love/desire and possessiveness ran rampant. He was no longer satisfied with simple love. He wanted to make deeper progress. He wanted to possess that person thoroughly. He wanted to make Su Nianmei a unique existence that belonged to him alone.
From desire to love, and then from love to desire.
But he couldn't, all he could do was devote himself to training and force himself not to think about Su Nianmei.
He was afraid that his heart would beat fast as soon as he thought about it. He was afraid that he would do something out of line in an impulse, and he was also afraid that he would ruin the girl's future.
He needs to see further than Su Nianmei and think more than his own wife.
So, when Su Nianmei proposed to move to the dormitory, he did not stop her, but was secretly delighted. The person who seemed to be drowning in love/desire got a breath of relief.
But as soon as he saw Su Nianmei, he knew that the psychological defenses he had built up over the past few months collapsed instantly. The girl was more likely to make his heart beat faster than he had imagined, and a glance from her could easily make him lose all his strength.
Su Nianmei was wearing a simple blue short-sleeved shirt, with a small piece of her white and tender arms exposed. She waved at him, holding a large pile of books in her arms, and her ear-length hair fluttered in the wind as the girl moved.
The scent of the little girl seemed to have been carried by the wind into his heart, and the sweetness flowed into his throat, causing the tip of his throat to roll unconsciously.
For a moment, he felt that the sun was not roasting the earth, but his heart. It was analyzing his naked heart of love and desire in the scorching sun, and it was burning painfully, both painful and scorching.
"Why did you think of cutting your hair short?" Gu Xichao took the thick stack of books, but his eyes were fixed on Su Nianmei's hair, which was thin and soft.
"Washing hair is too troublesome, it's easier to cut it." Su Nianmei pushed the hair hanging in front of her eyes behind her ears, and when the wind blew, she ran to the front again.
Gu Xichao held the book in one hand and stretched out his other hand to push back the strand of hair. He also took the opportunity to touch the top of the girl's head, which was much softer than he imagined.
He suddenly realized something and quietly moved half a step to the side, putting some distance between himself and Su Nianmei.
What he didn't notice was that the sparkling look in Su Nianmei's eyes dimmed.
On the way home, Su Nianmei held a book in her hand and stared at the words on the book, but she didn't know a word of what was written in the book.
She suddenly dropped her hands and began to re-examine her relationship with Gu Xichao.
From the moment he met Gu Xichao, he intervened in her life as a husband, and from beginning to end, he neither overstepped the boundaries nor remained distant.
His love is long-lasting and without any waves, it can even be described as dull. It seems that he loves the person who is his wife, and it seems that he will love her no matter who she is.
But this seems to be exactly Gu Xichao, he is upright, responsible, and has a gentle temperament.
This is the kind of man Su Nianmei loves.
Contradictory and tangled.
Gu Xichao turned his head to look at her, and Su Nianmei smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Gu Xiaobao was waiting at the door early, and when he saw Su Nianmei, he rushed over.
Su Nianmei picked him up. The little guy had grown taller recently, and his body grew rapidly as if he had been stretched to a rope. He was almost as tall as her waist, and the fat on his body had also decreased. His limbs were slender, and his pair of peach blossom eyes were particularly bright.
"Mom." Gu Xiaobao shouted, and the child's voice slowly changed from a baby voice to a crisp one, which made people feel bright inside when they heard it.
"Why didn't you go to school today?"
Gu Xichao walked in front, opened the door, and said, "You have an exam tomorrow, and my family doesn't want to be distracted by picking up Xiaobao, so I asked for two days off for him."
The implication is that you want to take care of yourself wholeheartedly.
Su Nianmei asked again: "What about you?"
Gu Xichao turned around, looked directly into Su Nianmei's eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, I've taken a leave and will always be with you."
Su Nianmei wanted to laugh instantly, but she didn't know why.
As soon as they entered the inner room, Jin Chunfen came out, took Su Nianmei's hand, pinched Su Nianmei's arm and said, "This girl has lost weight. It seems that studying has exhausted her."
Gu Xichao had just put down his books and came in. He looked up at Su Nianmei. She had indeed lost weight. Her originally chubby cheeks were gone, revealing a pointed little chin. She looked as if she would fall over with a gust of wind.
At the dinner table, Jin Chunfen kept picking up food for Su Nianmei, while Gu Laoliu happily said that their Gu family was finally going to have a college student.
Su Nianmei was concentrating on eating. After she had eaten little, she said she felt dizzy and wanted to go back to her room to sleep.
Gu Xichao wanted to accompany her, but she said, "No, maybe I've been under too much pressure recently, so I just need to take a break."
Su Nianmei lay on the bed, her head in a daze.
As expected, Gu Xichao did not come.
At around seven or eight in the evening, the sky was still light, and the light shone through the blue curtains, giving people a hazy and false feeling that seemed real and unreal.
She raised her hand to cover her eyes, and her hand on her forehead felt cold.
It was like a raging fire being splashed with water mixed with ice, and the whole body shuddered.
Su Nianmei pulled a blanket over herself and felt a little cold.
She thought, let’s fall asleep quickly, maybe the college entrance examination will be over and all these bad things will be solved.
In a trance, she began to look forward to the foggy tomorrow.
While she was dazed, a pair of hands covered her forehead, then suddenly retracted and reached out to touch her neck.
The cool touch on the skin is very comfortable and gives people a sense of security.
She wanted to grab the hand, but her whole body was limp and she had no strength.
When Gu Xichao walked into the room with a glass of honey water, he felt something was wrong.
The light was dim, and Su Nianmei lay on the bed, quietly.
He sat down and touched Su Nianmei's forehead.
It's a little hot. The little girl has a fever.
Gu Xichao was a little anxious. He helped the person up, shielded Su Nianmei's eyes with his hands, and turned on the light.
"Dear baby, get up and drink some water."
In the confusion, Su Nianmei seemed to hear Gu Xichao's voice.
He was so gentle and kind, like a liar who came specifically to deceive her.
Vaguely, she seemed to see Gu Xichao again. She sneered at herself, she could even see that person in her dreams.
But the feeling that Gu Xichao gave her became more and more real.
No, he seemed even more handsome. His phoenix eyes looked at her worriedly. His facial features were strong, yet revealing a gentleness.
Su Nianmei actually felt a little disgusted with herself for a moment. Gu Xichao had been so cold to her just now, but now she remembered his gentleness.
But she was unwilling to accept this. She was Gu Xichao's legitimate wife and she deserved this tenderness.
She deserves it both emotionally and morally.
Su Nianmei raised her hand and hit the thing that was covering her eyes.
Under the warm yellow light, Gu Xichao's eyes were gentle. He held a cup in his hand, half-hugged her with his arm, and helped her up.
The man's sweet lips seemed to be wet, making her feel flustered.
She thought, since this was just a dream, only she knew what she had done.
She didn't know where the strength came from suddenly, but she kissed the man.
Lips to lips.
The heat burst out.
The cup fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the honey water inside flowed out and spilled all over the ground.
