Chapter 1076 Testing Each Other
After Gong Qing denied that he knew Li Jinxing, Gu Wanqiu didn't ask any more questions.
She is not someone who can be easily fooled, she just believes in Gong Qing.
If she couldn't even believe what Gong Qing said, then nothing in her world could be trusted.
"We will prepare to return home the day after tomorrow." Gong Qing grabbed Gu Wanqiu's hand.
So fast? Thinking of what Li Jinxing had said today, going back would mean fulfilling the agreement between her and Li Jinxing.
"Is it so urgent? Have you finished your work?"
"Well, it's been resolved. I have nothing to do abroad anymore. Let's go back home." Li Jinxing is in Country M, very close to them. Gu Wanqiu often goes in and out of this area, and she might bump into Li Jinxing.
"Actually... I want to stay here a little longer. There are still many places I haven't been to." Gu Wanqiu wanted to delay for a while, but she knew that this was nothing more than a last-ditch struggle.
"There's nothing much to see here. After we get back, I'll take you for a walk around Rongcheng." Gong Qing apologized. "I'd love to stay here with you for a few more days, but my work back home is urgent, so I need to go back and take care of it."
When she heard that Gong Qing had work to do, Gu Wanqiu didn't dare to talk about staying.
Gong Qing is a man of his word. Once he makes a decision, he will act very quickly. He packed his luggage the next day and headed straight to the airport that night. He was in a hurry, as if there was something really important waiting for him in the country.
Before Gu Wanqiu could react, she was taken on the plane. When she was about to turn off her phone, Li Jinxing sent her a text message.
"See you when we get back home." Gu Wanqiu's fingertips were cold.
She has become accustomed to the "harassing text messages" sent by Li Jinxing from time to time. As long as Li Jinxing did not ask questions and force her to respond, she would not reply. After reading them, she would long press to delete them.
This time was no exception. Gu Wanqiu skillfully deleted the text message, then clicked on the settings and set the phone to airplane mode.
Not long after getting on the plane, Gu Wanqiu began to doze off and fell asleep leaning on Gong Qing.
When she woke up again, Gong Qing called her to eat. There was a midnight snack prepared on the plane, including the snacks that Gu Wanqiu liked. They said that the food on the plane was free and all expenses were included in the ticket, so it would be a waste not to eat. Gu Wanqiu ate several of them even though she had no appetite. After eating, she looked out the dark window. There were no stars in the night sky today.
When they arrived in Rongcheng, Gong Qing took off his coat and put it on Gu Wanqiu. The weather in Rongcheng was even colder than when they were in Country M. They set out at night and arrived in Rongcheng during the day. The cold wind blew on their bodies. Although Gu Wanqiu was wearing so many clothes, she still felt cold. When the wind blew, she couldn't help but hide behind Gong Qing, and her hands tightly clenched his fingers.
Gong Qing stretched out his arms and hugged Gu Wanqiu tightly in his arms, "Are you cold?"
"It's okay." Gu Wanqiu's face looked normal, except that her toes were a little painful, but fortunately it didn't affect her walking.
"If you're so afraid of the cold, you'd better not go out and look for a job. Chengdu's winter is not like other places. Not only is it cold, but it's also humid. Aren't you afraid of the pain?"
Gu Wanqiu frowned. Of course she was afraid of pain, but what she was more afraid of was losing her freedom.
She had been locked up at home and in the hospital for too long and was desperate to go out, breathe the fresh air, go shopping, and go wherever she wanted to go.
Going to different places, exploring shops, in short, as long as she goes out, she has endless things to do.
She has been in Chengdu for so many years, but has only gone out a few times, so she is very unfamiliar with the surrounding environment.
"No, I want to go out. It's cold, so I'll wear more clothes and put on a heat pack. I can't just stay locked up at home and not go out because I'm afraid of the cold or pain. Look at the people around you. Who isn't tired from living? Do they just lie at home because they're tired?"
Gu Wanqiu had her own reasons, but Gong Qing also had his own. He touched Gu Wanqiu's head and said, "Don't they want to lie down? They don't have the money to lie down, and they don't have the qualifications to lie down, but you do. You are free enough to do what you want. I can give you whatever you want."
"But it's yours, not mine."
"Isn't what's mine yours? Why should I separate you and me?" Gong Qing also has his own paranoid side. He rarely reveals his unknown side to Gu Wanqiu for fear of scaring her.
Gu Wanqiu said, "But I am an independent person. I don't want to live by relying on you. If one day you are no longer by my side, how will I survive? I have to face and take on some things on my own."
"I can't not be with you."
But you were not by my side the night I had the accident. There are always times when you cannot protect me.
Gu Wanqiu raised her eyes to look at him, her eyelashes trembling violently: "I don't want to be a waste, Gong Qing, I want to go out to work, I want to prove that I am a useful person, I also want to get a compliment from others, I want to get satisfaction from it, you promised me before, as long as I can go out smoothly and solve the troubles around me abroad, you will agree with me.
You promised me to come back and find a job. You can’t go back on your word.”
