Gu Xichao held the door handle with his left hand. The dim light shone on him, making his profile look even more severe. The whole person looked like a perfect masterpiece sculpted by an artist.
His waist was straight, and even though he was wearing a simple vest, he exuded the temperament of a tough soldier. There was a towel behind his neck. He pulled it out and wiped the sweat off his face.
Gu Xichao slightly turned sideways, leaving a narrow path for Su Nianmei to pass through. He asked, “Aren’t you coming in?”
Su Nianmei quickly withdrew her hand and looked at Gu Xichao. Ever since he fed her the egg yolk, he seemed like a different person. His eyes were scorching and aggressive.
She stammered, "Come in."
She walked in, trembling like a little white rabbit in a wolf's den.
As Su Nianmei walked in, Gu Dahuilang turned his hand and pushed Su Xiaobaitu against the door, and the wooden door was closed silently.
There was a cold wooden door behind Su Nianmei. Gu Xichao held the door with both hands and looked down at Su Nianmei. The light shone on his face, making it look even more angular.
Su Nianmei felt uncomfortable being stared at and gasped heavily.
Gu Xichao gradually leaned down, and their faces got closer and closer, exchanging breath with each other.
Gu Xichao suddenly stopped at a certain point, hooked Su Nianmei's chin with his hand, and rubbed the smooth touch below with his index finger, looking a bit like a military rogue. He whispered in a hoarse voice, "Are you afraid of me?"
Su Nianmei's pupils dilated slightly, and she tried hard to calm herself, but the voice she made was delicate and unlike her usual voice. "No, I'm not afraid."
Gu Xichao continued: "Then why are you deliberately avoiding me?"
Su Nianmei took a breath and said tremblingly: "Ah Gu, let's talk."
Gu Xichao looked at her like this and knew that he had scared her. He was a little impatient. He let out a soft "hmm" from his throat, but sounded reluctant.
Gu Xichao let go of Su Nianmei and consciously kept a certain distance from her.
Gu Xichao stepped back and stood up, giving Su Nianmei a military salute. He regained some of his original dignity and spoke slowly after a moment, "You are my wife. I will swear on my honor as a soldier to take care of you for the rest of my life. I was rude just now, and I apologize."
Su Nianmei still stood there, her mind in a mess. She looked at Gu Xichao and suddenly laughed, "Do you love me?"
Gu Xichao straightened his body, like a soldier being inspected, with his palms pressed against the seam of his pants, "I like it now, and I will love it later."
What he didn't say was that he felt she was different the first time he saw her.
From the moment she held Gu Xiaobao in the hospital.
To Gu Xichao, Su Nianmei was a unique existence. Once he sensed some signs, he became so impatient and out of control, becoming unlike his usual self.
Gu Xichao has never been a good guy. He is a wolf, a wild wolf in the forest. Once he sets his eyes on prey, he will attack it directly. If you don't like it, you won't leave any illusions for others.
He couldn't and wouldn't let his beloved treasure leave him again.
Su Nianmei looked at Gu Xichao and always felt that there were many things hidden in his eyes, complicated and anxious. There is desire and there is true love.
All kinds of complex emotions converged together and crowded in those eyes, as if they could burst out at any time in the next second.
She can't understand. But she subconsciously wanted to avoid that emotion and her eyes wandered.
Everyone has the desire for love. She wants to have someone to rely on in this strange world, but what she needs more is love. This love is not dry wood meeting raging fire, but an equal, sincere and simple love.
It can be as calm as water or it can be passionate and exciting, but this love must first come from love, not from desire.
But when Gu Xichao's love was laid naked in front of Su Nianmei, she felt that it was primarily motivated by desire.
She didn't know how to face it and could only avoid it. The decision made during the day seemed to be tilting, moving away slowly, bit by bit, and she didn't know what the future would be like.
Su Nianmei glanced at the two quilts on the bed, walked past Gu Xichao, and without saying a word, prepared to pull the quilts and spread them on the ground.
Suddenly, someone pulled her wrist, and Gu Xichao and Su Nianmei sat on the bed, exactly a fist's distance between them.
Su Nianmei's wrist felt hot from being held. Gu Xichao looked at her. It was the first time he saw her like this.
She was different from the strong girl in front of Ji Yun during the day. She was a little shy, but not hiding it. She was completely frank and real.
Gu Xichao looked at Su Nianmei, slowly let go of her wrist, and said, "I was too hasty. Can we give each other a month of contact time?"
Although they didn't say much, Su Nianmei understood what Gu Xichao meant. He gave her a month to accept him. Su Nianmei took a deep breath and said, "Three months."
Gu Xichao's eyes suddenly changed color, and he leaned forward. Su Nianmei felt a little depressed. Gu Xichao's hot breath hit her ears, as if he was bargaining, but his tone was particularly tough: "Two months."
Gu Xichao did not give her a chance to refuse. After he finished speaking, he stood up, pulled out a mattress from the cabinet next to him, and spread it on the floor.
Su Nianmei looked over and saw that the white mattress on the bed was slightly yellowed, and it was obvious that it was not used often. There was also a damp smell on the mattress.
Then he pulled the quilt from the bed and prepared to lie down.
Su Nianmei sat upright on the edge of the bed, only one foot away from Gu Xichao's bedding. She wanted to open her mouth to say something, but she couldn't.
It felt like there was something blocking my chest, making me feel stuffy and lost.
She pulled back the quilt, took off her shoes, buried herself in the quilt, and closed her eyes.
On an early autumn night, there were a few crickets chirping from the grass outside, one after another, which made people feel a little irritated.
The room was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.
Suddenly, bursts of sharp whistles came from the yard outside, sometimes rapid, sometimes slow, sometimes long and sometimes short, and it sounded three times in total.
Su Nianmei heard a rustling sound coming from her ears, and the movements were very quick. She closed her eyes tightly, but dared not open them.
Gu Xichao, who was dressed in a military uniform, saw Su Nianmei, her eyes were still moving under her eyelids.
Gu Xichao sighed lightly, walked out of the room in two steps, quietly pulled the light cord, and closed the door.
Su Nianmei breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, everything in front of her eyes became dark and her head was in a mess. She fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Xiaobao lay on the edge of the bed, staring at the person on the bed, and occasionally poked the person's soft face with his little finger.
He frowned like a little old man, then reached out and pinched the face of Ergouzi next to him, with a satisfied smile on his face. As expected, his mother was always the best.
Ergouzi's face turned red from being pinched and he was grimacing. The two little hands flapped in the air and the mouth opened wide, as if wanting to shout out.
Gu Xiaobao was quick to cover Ergouzi's mouth.
Ergouzi struggled even harder, and Gu Xiaobao was too weak, so the two little guys fell down on the bed together.
Su Nianmei suddenly felt her chest heavy, as if something was pressing down on her. She frowned slightly and opened her eyes drowsily, her chest rising and falling with her breathing.
When she opened her eyes, she saw two children stacked on top of her. Ergouzi was pressed in the middle, his little hands pinching his skirt in confusion, looking at her innocently. Gu Xiaobao's hand was still tightly covering Ergouzi's mouth.
For a moment, the three of them stared at each other and fell silent at the same time.
There was a knock on the door. Just as Su Nianmei was about to get up, Gu Xiaobao slipped out of bed and ran to open the door. When he saw the person outside, his smiling face suddenly fell. He shrank back, and his hand holding the door handle trembled.
There was no sound outside the door for a long time. Su Nianmei was a little worried and asked, "Xiaobao, who is it?"
