Shouldn't he be in Beijing preparing to spend the New Year with his parents at this time? Why is he here with her?
Gu Huanian smiled and said, "It's so cold outside! Won't you invite me in for a seat?" He looked really handsome when he smiled, and his breath misted out as he spoke.
Su Li stepped aside; "Come in!"
Leading the man into the main room, Su Li poured him a cup of hot water; "Drink some hot water to warm yourself up!"
Gu Huanian smiled and nodded, taking the water, but his eyes were fixed on Su Li.
It was so good to finally see her. No one knew how much he had missed her. Ever since Shi Yuan mentioned that she had a male confidant, he had been unable to settle down.
He wrote several letters to Su Li during this period, but has not received a reply.
He had several nightmares in a row, all of which showed her leaving with another man, her back to him, so resolute. He was often woken up by these nightmares.
So this time, when the army gave him more than ten days off, he didn't even go home. He took the train overnight to come here, just to find out her feelings.
After drinking a cup of hot water, he felt as if his body and mind were warmed up.
How have you been lately?
Su Li nodded; "Yes, it's fine."
Seeing that Gu Huanian had finished drinking the hot water in his hand, she took the teacup and poured him another cup.
"What have you thought about what I mentioned last time?"
Su Li didn't immediately realize what he was talking about.
He then asked directly, "What is it?"
Gu Huanian's expression changed upon hearing her words. Sure enough, she had forgotten him, even forgetting his previous confession.
He stepped forward, getting closer to Su Li, his eyes fixed on her; "I told you I liked you, and you said you'd consider it. What's your decision now?"
Su Li was a little confused before she realized that he was talking about this matter.
During this time, she did think of Gu Huanian, but she always felt that the time they spent together was too short.
She worries that if he ever gets to know the real her and removes the filter, he'll find that he doesn't like her as much as she thought.
How will she cope then?
"Gu Huanian, I think matters of the heart should be taken slowly. You don't understand me. I have a lot of flaws."
Gu Huanian took a few steps closer to Su Li, his eyes deep and unfathomable; "For example?"
Su Li: "For example, I'm lazy and don't like socializing. But for a big family like yours, socializing will definitely be a must in the future. Also, I'm a rebellious person. If anyone treats me badly, I'll pay them back tenfold, even if it's your parents."
The relationship between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law is very difficult in this era, especially for mothers-in-law from large families.
Of course, there are good ones too, but you can't be too afraid of the unexpected. What if I get together with Gu Huanian and his mother is difficult to get along with?
Nowadays, mothers-in-law have all sorts of ways to torment people. Although she's not afraid of them, she finds them annoying!
Why would anyone choose to fight with their mother-in-law when they have a perfectly good life? So it's best to make things clear beforehand.
“I’ve told you that you don’t need to be diligent when you’re with me. I can take care of these things. You can go to social events if you want, or I will if you don’t. You don’t need to worry about my parents either. We’ll move out after we get married and only go back together for holidays. You don’t need to worry about other things like filial piety. After all, they didn’t raise you. Just make sure you look good. I’ll take care of everything else.”
Su Li thought to herself, "To be honest, Gu Huanian's values are really upright. It's rare to meet a man like him who is good-looking, has a good physique, and a good personality in this era. I'm a little tempted."
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Gu Huanian took a few steps forward and pulled her into his arms.
"Su Li, please say yes? I've never liked anyone this much before. If I miss you, I'll definitely be alone forever."
Su Li didn't know his fate in his previous life because it wasn't mentioned at all in the novel.
At that moment, he held her in his arms, inhaling her sweet fragrance, and only then did he feel at ease.
Su Li didn't fall in love with anyone else, otherwise she wouldn't have let him hold her.
This shows that she still has feelings for him.
"Let go first, I haven't agreed yet."
Gu Huanian hugged her even tighter; "Su Li, admit it! You've always liked me."
Otherwise, he would have already received two slaps across the face by now, and he wouldn't be able to hold her soft and fragrant body in his arms.
Su Li didn't hesitate any longer, a sweet smile appearing on her lips; "I can agree, but I have one condition."
When Gu Huanian heard this, his mind exploded like fireworks. The girl he liked also liked him. What a coincidence!
I'll agree to anything you say.
"If you're dating me, you can only love me, you have to pamper me and not lie to me, you have to do everything you promise me, you have to be sincere in every word you say to me, you can't bully me or scold me, and you have to believe in me."
If someone bullies me, they should be there for me immediately. When I'm happy, they should be happy with me. When I'm unhappy, they should try to cheer me up. They should always think I'm the most beautiful, dream of me, and have only me in their hearts.
Gu Huanian listened very attentively; it was the first time he had ever seen someone talk so much about dating.
"Okay, I promise you, you're the only one in my eyes, in my heart, and in my dreams. If you're happy, I'm happy with you; if you're unhappy, I'll cheer you up. You'll always be the most beautiful in my eyes, and you'll be in my dreams every day."
He wasn't lying; she appeared in his dreams more often than in reality.
They tormented him to the point of near death every day.
Once the two confirmed their relationship, Gu Huanian couldn't wait to announce it to the world.
He held onto Su Li tightly and refused to let go.
Unable to resist his persistent pestering, Su Li smiled and said, "Are you hungry? Sit here and rest for a while, I'll go make some breakfast."
Gu Huanian then released Su Li; he had indeed not eaten breakfast that morning.
He arrived late last night. In order to see her as soon as possible, he didn't go to the guesthouse and came directly to her place.
Fortunately, the person he loved was always there for him.
“I’ll do it. I’ve been learning to cook at home lately. You rest and I’ll do it. You tell me what to make, and where the food and vegetables are.”
Su Li pressed him down into a chair; "Alright, you're tired from the train ride, rest first, I'll do it for a bit."
Gu Huanian stood up, put his arm around her waist, and gently hugged her from behind; "Su Li, I feel like I'm dreaming. You really agreed to be my boyfriend. I'm so happy."
After Su Li agreed, a sweet feeling welled up inside her. She turned and hugged Gu Huanian back, saying, "Me too."
At this moment, Gu Huanian felt his chest swell and his heart was filled with excitement. He had never felt such a strong sense of happiness before.
Su Li made a pot of red date and millet porridge. She likes to make this more this winter, as she doesn't even need to cook any other vegetables.
It's sweet and delicious.
She served Gu Huanian a large bowl, and then served herself one as well.
The two sat facing each other, eating and chatting. Gu Huanian took a bite of porridge and said, "Why didn't you reply to any of the letters I wrote to you before?"
