Chapter 64 It's Here
They decided to use this holiday to come back and celebrate Gu Yunping's birthday. The original plan was not to stay at home for the entire holiday, but Yue Qianling saw that Gu Xun and Gu Yunping got along very well these days, so she didn't mention the idea of going to other places for fun.
She didn't expect that when Gu Yunping went out this morning, she would take the initiative to ask Gu Xun to take her out to play so that she wouldn't stay at home doing nothing all day.
Yue Qianling actually didn't mind playing at Gu Xun's house until the end of the holiday. It was nice to just spend her time leisurely like this.
But since Gu Xun had said "elope", Yue Qianling immediately packed her luggage and set off with him.
But in total they only stayed at home for one more day, which was not much different from the plan. They just wasted one day of vacant hotel.
On the afternoon of the 5th, Yue Qianling and Gu Xun took a two-hour drive to a small ancient town.
The characteristic architectural features here have been preserved to a large extent. It is not one of those ancient tourist towns where even the souvenirs sold are all similar. Yue Qianling has seen a lot of beautiful pictures on the Internet and in WeChat Moments in recent years and has always wanted to come here to play, but the plans were always aborted for various reasons.
Now her wish has finally come true, she didn't even sleep in the car.
After excitedly placing her luggage at the hotel, she couldn't wait to take Gu Xun out for a walk.
The hotel is located halfway up the mountain a few kilometers away from the ancient town. The traffic is not particularly congested along the way, and you will even pass by cyclists from time to time.
But as soon as he reached the entrance, Yue Qianling was dumbfounded.
She knew there were many Chinese people, but she never thought there would be so many.
It would be fine if it were other well-known scenic spots, but why are these niche attractions also so crowded? !
The main road, which was less than three meters wide, was filled with crowds of people, and even the store signs could not be seen clearly.
Seeing Yue Qianling's dazed look, Gu Xun looked at the street covered with shadows and sighed, "What a mistake. It looks like we can only stay in the hotel for two days."
Upon hearing the word "hotel", Yue Qianling's eyebrows jumped. She immediately stepped forward and uttered the four-word mantra of the Chinese when traveling.
"I'm already here."
Adhering to this principle, Yue Qianling held Gu Xun's hand along the way and tried to find some fun in traveling.
But she was not tall, and when she was squeezed in the middle of the road, all she could see was either men's backs or women's hair. If she wanted to find an interesting shop to visit, she had to move carefully, otherwise she would easily bump into other people's merchandise.
After squeezing through the bumpy road, she finally found a relatively empty step to stand and rest.
As there was no seat and she was tired, she hung on Gu Xun's neck like a sloth to reduce the pressure on her feet.
"Didn't you say before that there weren't many people here?"
Gu Xun placed the back of his hand on her forehead to block the sultry sunlight and frowned helplessly.
“I really didn’t come here often before.”
Yue Qianling reasonably suspected that he was making excuses for his mistake.
"How long ago was it?"
"Probably..." Gu Xun thought seriously, "About eleven or twelve years ago."
Yue Qianling: “…”
She took a deep breath to resist the urge to beat him up, "You haven't come here since then?"
"My dad used to like coming here, but later he didn't even come home, so who should I come with?"
Although it seemed as if he was deliberately trying to make her feel sympathetic, Yue Qianling still softened her heart.
She let go of Gu Xun's neck, and instead held his arm, leaning her head against him: "It's okay, I'll come with you next time."
Yue Qianling's oath of eternal love is only valid for one hour.
When she found out that she had to queue up even to buy a cup of milk tea, she completely gave up struggling.
She squeezed to the riverside with difficulty, bent over the railing, and let out a long sigh.
The entire ancient town is built along a winding river, with trees and ponds on the banks, mist and dew, and a few quaint pleasure boats floating in the middle of the river, giving it a bit of the feel of a Jiangnan water town.
Unfortunately, Yue Qianling had no intention of enjoying the scenery. She just wanted to go back to the hotel and lie on the soft big bed to relax.
"I declare that my travel plans for today have come to an end. I wish the motherland's tourism industry will prosper." She turned her head and shook Gu Xun's hand. "Shall we go back to the hotel?"
Gu Xun agreed immediately: "Okay, no problem."
In fact, he was just following Yue Qianling's instructions and there was no other intention.
But Yue Qianling suddenly thought of something, and she let go of his hand awkwardly, staring at the fallen leaves floating in the river, "There's no rush, since we're already here."
At first, Gu Xun just wondered why a woman's mind was so changeable, sometimes she wanted to leave and sometimes she didn't.
But when he looked down, he saw that Yue Qianling's eyes were unfocused and she was trying very unnaturally to look calm and indifferent. It was obvious that she was thinking about something that she was too embarrassed to say out loud.
After realizing this, Gu Xun laughed wildly.
Do you really think he is a person with a head full of pornographic garbage?
Yue Qianling glared at him, "What are you laughing at?"
"nothing."
Gu Xun bent down and put his face close to her. He lowered his voice and said with a hint of temptation, "You really don't want to go back? Isn't it more comfortable to lie in bed than here?"
"No."
Yue Qianling pursed her lips and looked away, raising her hand to push him away little by little, "Let me take a look at these pleasure boats, they are quite nice."
"All right."
Gu Xun hooked his arm around her shoulders and said, "Let me take another look at you. You look pretty good."
Yue Qianling lowered her eyes and smiled, letting the river breeze blow her long hair and gently brush Gu Xun's chin.
-
After the crowds had dispersed a little, Yue Qianling and Gu found a restaurant with few people and had dinner. They decided to give up the evening light show on the painted boat and go back to the hotel to rest.
Passing by a Watsons on the way, she remembered that she had forgotten her toiletry bag in the bathroom at home when she went out today, so she pulled Gu Xun in to buy a new one.
At first, Gu Xun accompanied her to choose, but later he went off by himself and no one knew where he went.
By the time Yue Qianling had picked out all the toiletries, Gu Xun was already standing in line at the cashier counter.
She was walking towards him carrying a small basket when the phone rang.
This was the first call from Ju Yunzhen during the holiday. Yue Qianling did not dare to neglect it. She handed the shopping basket to Gu Xun and answered the phone.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. How was your time these days? Are you tired?"
"It's OK, not too tired."
Before leaving Jiangcheng, Yue Qianling called her and said only that she was going out to play with friends, so Ju Yunzhen didn't ask much.
"Send some photos to see."
Yue Qianling glanced at Gu Xun beside her and whispered, "The photo doesn't look good."
Ju Yunzhen said with dissatisfaction, "Send it to us to see if it's good or not. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Your dad misses you too."
Having said that, how could Yue Qianling refuse?
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xun asked her: "Who's calling?"
Yue Qianling lowered her head and looked through the photos, whispering, "My mother."
Gu Xun nodded, looked up at the people queuing up to pay, and suddenly asked, "Have you told your mother?"
"Hmm? What?"
"Our relationship."
"……not yet."
As they were talking, Yue Qianling had already sent Ju Yunzhen the photos that Gu Xun had taken of her in the past few days.
Gu Xun sighed deeply.
"It's been so long, I don't have anything to be ashamed of." He didn't look at Yue Qianling, and said to himself, "Except for that little thing, but if you don't say it, no one else can see it."
Yue Qianling blinked: "Which one?"
"It's just..." Gu Xun leaned over and whispered in her ear, "It's a bit perverted."
“…”
Yue Qianling clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Xun, if there weren't so many people here, I really want to teach you a lesson."
"sure."
Gu Xun said nonchalantly, "You teach me how to behave during the day, and I will teach you how to behave at night—"
After getting a stab in the face, Gu Xun consciously swallowed the original word back.
"ghost."
If Ju Yunzhen hadn’t replied to the WeChat message at this time, Yue Qianling would have wanted to scold him again.
【mom! 】：Who took this photo? Why is it so ugly?
【mom! 】：You look like 1.5 meters tall in the photo? !
Yue Qianling lowered his head and typed three words solemnly.
【Glutinous rice twist】: Boyfriend
【mom! 】：Do you have a boyfriend? When did it happen?
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: It’s been a while.
【mom! 】：Colleagues or classmates? How are people? Do you have any photos for me to see?
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Mom, you know him.
Soon, Ju Yunzhen replied with a name.
【mom! 】：Gu Xun?
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】：Hmm.
After that, Ju Yunzhen never replied to the message again.
Yue Qianling held the phone in her hand, feeling a little nervous. I don’t know what her mother is thinking, and whether she might be against them.
Time seemed very long at this moment. Yue Qianling looked around absentmindedly until her phone vibrated again.
Looking at the seven or eight messages displayed on the lock screen, her heart immediately rose to her throat.
Her mother must have been organizing her words just now. She sent so many messages, so it must be nothing good.
After a moment, she opened WeChat cautiously, but the content she saw was different from what she had imagined.
【mom! 】：Lingling, I saw some things online recently, but I don’t know how to buy them. I’ll send them to you and you can buy them for me.
Yue Qianling didn’t understand why Ju Yunzhen changed the subject so quickly. Didn’t she care at all about her boyfriend?
However, she didn't want to bring up the topic again at this time, so she obediently clicked on the picture sent by Ju Yunzhen.
The items were indeed some of her favorite little gadgets like scarves and sunglasses, but when Yue Qianling swiped to the fourth picture, a picture of a condom suddenly appeared on the screen.
Yue Qianling: “…”
More than a minute later, Ju Yunzhen withdrew the picture.
【mom! 】：Oops, I accidentally sent the wrong one.
Although Yue Qianling knew these things, Ju Yunzhen's subtle reminder made her even more embarrassed.
At this time, Gu Xun suddenly asked: "What are you looking at for so long?"
Yue Qianling panicked for no apparent reason and stuffed her phone into her bag.
"nothing."
When I looked up, I found that they were standing in front of the cashier counter without me noticing.
Gu Xun took out two boxes of small umbrellas from the shelf next to him and placed them in front of the cashier openly.
Yue Qianling: “…”
How come there aren’t enough beds at the hotel for you? !
-
It was not yet eight o'clock when we got back to the hotel.
Yue Qianling took a quick shower, came out and sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and pretended to watch it.
When the sound of water in the bathroom began, Yue Qianling found that she could no longer concentrate on the TV program.
well.
A certain idea seemed to be spreading from person to person.
When Gu Xun came out wearing pajamas, Yue Qianling's attention was so focused that no one could distract him.
Fortunately, it wasn't noticeable on her face, and she looked like she was seriously watching the health supplement commercial on TV.
But when Gu Xun sat next to her, the air seemed to stop flowing.
Every breath Yue Qianling took was filled with the scent of shower gel on his body, which enhanced his presence at all times.
Even the two legs pressed together made Yue Qianling imagine a lot.
So she quietly moved aside.
Gu Xun seemed not to notice. He just watched the TV calmly and didn't say anything.
Yue Qianling breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, he squeezed in again.
Yue Qianling folded his arms and moved again.
Gu Xun also moved along.
She couldn't hold it anymore, but moved towards that side with smaller movements.
Until Gu Xun pushed her to the edge of the sofa, she could no longer bear it and glared at him in a bluffing manner.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Xun turned his head and looked at her straight, his thin lips parted slightly, and he said word by word: "What do you think I want to do?"
He threw back a question with such an obvious answer, how could Yue Qianling have the nerve to answer it.
But she couldn't hide from his gaze, so she could only pretend to be calm and said, "Do you want to go hiking tomorrow?"
Gu Xun tilted his head slowly, but his eyes did not move away from her.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to be too tired?"
Yue Qianling spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Since I'm here..."
Gu Xun didn't answer, and the temperature slowly rose under his almost explicit look.
After a moment, he raised his chin towards the double bed beside him.
Yue Qianling followed his gaze.
It felt like there were four words written on that big round bed - I'm already here.
