Gu Huanian stepped forward, wanting to take her hand, but Su Li dodged it. A hint of hurt flashed in his eyes; "Li, it's been so many days, haven't you gotten over it yet?"
Su Li didn't expect him to ask that question. It turned out that he hadn't come to explain these past few days and had been seen with other women.
She wanted to process this matter on her own; she had really overestimated him before.
"Gu Huanian, let's part ways amicably!"
Su Li didn't want to say a word to him now.
Seeing the disappointment in Su Li's eyes, Gu Huanian felt extremely flustered.
He stepped forward and hugged Su Li in his arms; "Li, I've really missed you these past few days. Don't talk like that, it really hurts me to hear you say that."
Su Li shoved Gu Huanian away. "You're upset? When you left me alone at the wedding, did you think I wasn't upset? Do you know how I felt? Do you know what everyone thought of me? A bride who was abandoned, the groom ran off with another woman, the bride was so pitiful! That's all the talk, every single word pierced my heart. Even if you had something important to do, couldn't you have told me first? You just left me with the words 'wait for you,' why should I wait for you!"
Su Li spoke hysterically, venting all the grievances she had held back over the past few days.
Seeing her like this, Gu Huanian felt extremely distressed. At that moment, all he could think about was that Lu Yang had been found.
He didn't think too much about it; he assumed Su Li would understand him, since he was going to save people.
I never imagined it would cause her so much harm.
He tried to go forward to wipe away Su Li's tears, but she brushed him away.
"Ah Li, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, things were just too urgent at the time. You have to believe me, I really, really want to marry you, I dream about it all the time."
Su Li wiped away her tears, her eyes red as she looked at him; "I didn't feel anything, and I don't believe it anymore. Let's just leave it at that!"
Gu Huanian's fingertips trembled slightly as he desperately tried to grab Su Li; "Li, I really know I was wrong. I promise that in the future, if something like this happens, I will make sure to explain it to you beforehand. You can't just abandon me like that."
Su Li forcefully pushed him out of the courtyard and then closed the door.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Ah Li, please forgive me just this once..."
Su Li squatted in the courtyard, suppressing her sobs, hugging her knees in sadness. Whether in modern times or here, Gu Huanian was her first boyfriend and the first person she had ever fallen for.
It's easy to say I'll let go, but I'm still so sad inside.
"Ah Li, I know it was my fault this time, I'll make it up to you, please don't break up with me, okay?" Gu Huanian's pleading voice continued from outside.
Su Li felt utterly exhausted; "Get out! I don't want to see you."
Gu Huanian heard Su Li's choked, tearful voice from outside, and his heart broke.
"Ah Li, if you're really angry, you can hit me, or even hit me while yelling at me. Just don't break up."
Su Li didn't say anything more. She closed her eyes sadly, stood up, and walked towards the room.
She went straight into the space, picked a huge durian, and began to open it in half.
They ate it in big mouthfuls.
She ate three pieces in a row and felt quite full before she stopped.
She felt less upset and thought that the house here should be renovated soon.
We can ask Lu Huai to help decorate the shop we just bought a few days ago, and then we can prepare for its opening after the New Year and the start of the reform and opening up.
The mother and daughter waited until the man of the house returned before they were willing to sell it.
When the man saw that Su Li wanted it, he initially said it was five thousand, but in the end he made Su Li add another five hundred.
She said she wanted to use the money as dowry for her daughter.
Although Su Li was somewhat angry, she still bought it.
Regardless, she still made a profit from that house.
In the early morning, when Su Li got up, she was too lazy to cook, so she simply took out a meat bun and a bowl of red date porridge from her spatial storage.
After finishing eating, as soon as I opened the courtyard gate, I saw Gu Huanian still standing outside.
He was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing her open the door, he exclaimed happily, "Ah Li!"
Su Li didn't even ask a question. She simply walked past him and locked the courtyard gate. She had to go to school and didn't have time to waste with him.
She locked the door and headed towards the school.
Gu Huanian caught up with the road blocking her way; "Ali, let's not fight anymore, okay? You don't know that even though I haven't come to see you these past few days, I've really missed you."
Su Li remained unmoved.
Can't you tell she doesn't want to talk to you?
Gu Huanian looked up and saw Xie Feng standing not far in front of him.
His brows furrowed, a cold glint in his eyes as he looked at Xie Feng; "Xie Feng, Mayor Xie's only son, I heard you've already damaged your manhood at such a young age. Come to think of it, you're not even a real man!"
Gu Huanian would never say such a thing under normal circumstances, especially in front of Su Li.
But today he was really eager to get Su Li to forgive him. He was already upset, and this person was still trying to win him over.
These words struck Xie Feng like a thorn in his side.
He couldn't stand it any longer, so he strode up to Gu Huanian and threw a punch at him.
Who is Gu Huanian? Among the nine battalions, he has the highest combat skills.
Unless he doesn't want to fight back, it's very difficult to get close to him.
He grabbed Xie Feng's fist and twisted it downwards. With a cracking sound, Xie Feng broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
"Xie Feng, you managed to dodge what happened last time because your father covered for you. If you keep getting close to Su Li, I won't be so polite next time."
Although Xie Feng gasped in pain, he still stubbornly said, "Gu Huanian, you've finally met your match. You ran away at your wedding, and with another woman no less. Su Li will never forgive you."
Gu Huanian kicked Xie Feng to the ground; "I will treat her well, but you should stop clinging to her like a leech, or I will beat you every time I see you."
"Gu Huanian, don't forget you're a soldier. Believe me or not, I'll go to your unit right now and report you for beating civilians at will. Let's see if you can still be a battalion commander then."
Gu Huanian kicked his foot again; "Go ahead! I also wanted to report Mayor Xie for bending the law for personal gain."
Xie Feng got up from the ground and walked away with a limp.
He gave up because he couldn't beat him. He had originally planned to take advantage of the discord between Gu Huanian and Su Li to steal her away.
Now that Su Li has left, there's no point in him staying here.
Xie Feng chased after Su Li, but Gu Huanian watched her disappear at the school gate and didn't follow.
He stood silently in place, his gaze fixed on the scene, his heart filled with disappointment, helplessness, and the fear of losing it all.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside him, and he slowly turned around, walking back step by step with heavy steps.
