Meng Fuyan smiled, showing no trace of her earlier anger.
Looking at that smiling face, Gu Tingzhi couldn't help but swallow.
He thought he knew Meng Fuyan very well, so why couldn't he keep up with this girl's train of thought at all?
She was just angry a moment ago, so why is she suddenly laughing?
"I...no, it's nothing. I was just worried you'd be angry because you weren't saying anything, I..."
Meng Fuyan smiled, picked up a blanket from the side, and covered him with it. "I am indeed unhappy. I did so much, and you didn't offer any explanation. Shouldn't I be angry?"
"No, that's not what I meant. It's my fault, and it's understandable that you're angry."
Meng Fuyan nodded, "It's good that you know. But even if I'm angry, I won't hold it against you right now. Get some sleep and don't think too much. I still have so many dangerous things to do later. What will I do if you're not in good enough condition and something happens to you?"
As she spoke, she gently covered him with the blanket, straightened the corners, and then covered herself with the other half, moving closer to Gu Tingzhi.
"I'm tired too. I didn't sleep well last night because I was worried about you. We'll be in the city for a while, right? I'm going to take a nap first."
After saying that, she leaned on Gu Tingzhi's shoulder and closed her eyes.
Gu Tingzhi: "..."
Oh no, now he can't sleep at all.
He's better when Meng Fuyan cries and makes a scene, or gets angry and hits him or ignores him. What's going on?
Xu Jing, who was driving in front, was laughing so hard that Gu Tingzhi was speechless when he saw her face in the rearview mirror.
"Yanyan..." Gu Tingzhi called out tentatively.
Meng Fuyan stirred and snuggled into his arms. "Don't make a sound. I was worried about you last night and didn't sleep well at all. I'm so sleepy!"
Gu Tingzhi looked at the person in his arms for a long time, unable to bear to push her away. In the end, he held her in his arms and quickly fell asleep.
At this moment, Meng Fuyan clearly felt that love was indeed beautiful.
For someone who has been single for a long time, the feeling of suddenly leaning against the arms of a man they like is truly blissful.
More than an hour later, the car arrived in the city, and Xu Jing woke the person up.
"Brother, boss, wake up..."
When Gu Tingzhi woke up, Xu Jing asked, "We're in the city now. Where are we going? To the guesthouse?"
He shook his head. "No, turn right ahead."
And so, guided by Gu Tingzhi, they went to a relatively secluded place. There was a courtyard there with a high wall. Fu Chaosheng came down and opened the gate, and Xu Jing drove the car directly into the courtyard.
However, there was no one in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, the group avoided people and went to another place.
This is a residential area, but the population is not dense. It consists of ordinary houses with yards.
After Gu Tingzhi knocked on the door, a middle-aged man opened it, wearing a thick coat and a hat.
"Come in quickly!"
After entering, the group discovered that the courtyard had two sections.
"Uncle Chen, is the room ready?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "It's in the backyard, the one on the right. It has everything you need."
Gu Tingzhi nodded and said to Xu Jing and Fu Chaosheng, "Uncle Chen is someone I arranged. You wait for me here. I'll take Yanyan over and come back in a bit."
He led Meng Fuyan to the backyard, where a middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen on the right. Gu Tingzhi introduced her, "This is Aunt Chen. She and Uncle Chen are husband and wife. Those two are their children. They will always be at home. If you need anything, just call them."
He emphasized, "Just tell them if you need anything. Aunt Chen is a good cook, so ask her for food and drinks. If you need hot water to wash your face, just tell her too, I've already paid for it."
The aunt was very straightforward, "Yes, yes, my daughter, just tell me if you need anything."
Meng Fuyan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Auntie!"
Gu Tingzhi led her to the room, which was very clean, but it was just an ordinary people's house. She slept on a kang (a heated brick bed) with quilts and mattresses on it.
Gu Tingzhi instructed her, "You should stay here and rest for now. You might need to stay for a few days. I don't want you to stay in a guesthouse alone, not even the police station's guesthouse. Song Shiyan and I can stay there, but you'd better not go. There are spies within these systems, and you won't be able to guard against them all."
Gu Tingzhi held her hand and made a serious promise to her, "After that base is wiped out, the next steps will be interrogation, tracking, and catching the people behind it. I will definitely participate in these things. I don't know how long it will take to resolve everything. My plan is one to two months."
"But I won't let you stay here for too long. After I finish dealing with things at this base, I'll send you back. I might have to go back to Kyoto. When I come back, I'll give you an explanation. Wait for me, okay?"
Meng Fuyan raised an eyebrow. "Does she have to go back to the capital?"
"Yes, Brother Gu, I've always trusted you. You promised me, and you must keep your word. I'll be obedient and wait for you to come back at the Banqiao Brigade."
Gu Tingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Okay!"
Meng Fuyan looked at the kettle in her hand. She turned around and saw a thermos on the table filled with hot water. She poured a kettle of hot water into it and secretly added some spiritual spring water. She then turned and handed it to Gu Tingzhi.
This is his water bottle, which he always kept in the car. She took it from him when he got out of the car just now.
Before she fell asleep, she was also wondering why Gu Tingzhi was behaving this way.
It's obvious he likes her, but he's unwilling to admit it. There must be something wrong here.
