Meanwhile, He Yanzhi and Guan Wenru arrived in the provincial capital, and the sun was already setting.
The two went straight to the guesthouse, presented their letter of introduction and marriage certificate, and checked in.
Once inside, He Yanzhi habitually checked the window latches and door locks.
The roads are really bumpy these days; Guan Wenru felt like her whole body was about to fall apart.
Upon entering the room, she placed the file folder and crossbody bag on the table, let out a long sigh, and then, without any regard for appearances, collapsed onto the single bed by the window, letting out a comfortable sigh.
"Finally I can lie down for a while! My bones feel like they're going to fall apart! He Yanzhi, when are we going to the state-run hotel? Or should you go and beat them up?"
She didn't want to move at all.
As she spoke, she unconsciously raised her hand and loosened the top two buttons of her collar, revealing a small patch of delicate skin and the clear lines of her collarbone.
"If you're tired, don't move. I'll go check on you."
After checking the doors and windows, He Yanzhi turned around and his gaze landed precisely on the languid figure on the bed.
In the dim light, the expanse of fair skin beneath her open neckline drew his gaze like a magnet.
His Adam's apple bobbed silently, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Upon hearing this, Guan Wenru smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Commander He. I'm not picky; I'll eat whatever I want."
Actually, she was still thinking about how to bring up the space with He Yanzhi.
Does explaining this matter involve something from a past life?
She hasn't figured out how to tell him yet, so she's keeping it a secret for now.
Guan Wenru raised her hand to rub her head, and just then, the mattress sank slightly.
She opened her eyes in confusion, only to be met with He Yanzhi's face, which was inches away from hers.
His tall figure loomed over her completely, carrying a strong sense of oppression and... a scorching aura that she knew all too well.
Guan Wen instinctively shrank back, "What...what are you doing?"
He Yanzhi supported her head with one hand, and gently brushed away the stray hairs on her cheek with the other, his fingertips calloused as he brushed against her sensitive earlobe.
He leaned down, his hot breath brushing against her neck, his voice low, "I'm hungry!"
Guan Wenru smiled speechlessly, "I'm hungry too. Go buy some food. There's money and tickets in the crossbody bag on the table."
He Yanzhi chuckled softly, "Your hunger and my hunger are... a little different. I'll go buy you some food later. I'll eat first."
Guan Wenru: "?"
Before she could even process what was happening, his burning lips, with an irresistible force, precisely sealed her slightly parted lips, which hadn't yet had a chance to utter a question.
At the same time, his powerful body pressed down completely, trapping her firmly between the soft bed and his hard chest.
"??"
Guan Wenru's initial shock was quickly replaced by a familiar flutter of excitement.
She raised her arms, wrapped them around his neck, and ran her fingers through his thick, short hair, giving it a light, slightly vengeful tug.
As soon as he loosened his grip slightly, she quickly said, "You go to the state-run restaurant first..."
Her words were silenced by a deeper kiss, turning into soft moans.
The only sounds in the room were the two people's rapid, intertwined breathing and the rustling of fabric.
...
Afterwards, Guan Wenru was so tired that she didn't even want to lift her arms.
He Yanzhi, however, was in high spirits and went to buy food after getting dressed.
Guan Wenru was half asleep when he picked her up and forced her to eat a meal before letting her sleep.
The next morning, when Guan Wenru woke up, He Yanzhi had already gone to a meeting at the Party School.
There was a note and a lunchbox left by him on the table.
Before he left, he even bought her breakfast.
It was getting late, so Guan Wenru quickly washed up, ate breakfast, changed her clothes, and headed to her workplace.
It's not easy to come to the provincial capital, so I must get all the formalities done within these two days.
...
At noon, the meeting at the Party School ended, and the attendees left the meeting room in twos and threes.
He Yanzhi tidied up the documents and walked out with steady steps.
Wan Tao caught up in a few steps and familiarly put his arm around He Yanzhi's shoulder. "I heard there's braised pork today. If you're late, you won't be able to get any! Shall we have a couple of drinks?"
"I have something to do." He Yanzhi didn't stop walking and naturally brushed away Wan Tao's hand that was on his shoulder. "Go by yourself."
Wan Tao was taken aback, thinking that he had become distant from him because of Gu Siyu.
He cleared his throat. "What? Bro, you're not dating anymore?"
He Yanzhi realized what was going on and laughed, "What are you thinking? Wenru is here too. She's here to complete the formalities. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be waiting for me at the door right now. I'll go find her."
Hearing this, Wan Tao breathed a sigh of relief, then exaggeratedly clutched his chest, feigning heartbreak, "Look! Look! Married men are just different! They value their wives more than their friends! They forget their brothers once they have a wife!"
He Yanzhi suddenly raised his hand and punched him in the chest, "You talk as if you're not married!"
After saying that, he ignored Wan Tao and strode towards the school gate.
Wan Tao stood there, watching He Yanzhi's impatient back. The exaggerated smile on his face slowly faded, leaving only a complex bitterness and deep envy.
People are just different; comparing yourself to others can be incredibly frustrating.
He's just unlucky!
To end up with a wife who has someone else in her heart.
Now look what's happened! After that commotion, Gu Siyu doesn't even want to act with him anymore!
His mind was uncontrollably filled with images of Gu Siyu's face, which always carried a sense of aloofness and even occasional resentment. A bitter smile, more painful than crying, tugged at the corners of his mouth.
If he had known, he would have preferred to be alone!
