In the studio, Gu Xiuyuan's heart trembled with the slight trembling of her body.
"What's wrong with you?" Ji Shuyu asked.
He was in a strange mood today.
"I just feel like I didn't care enough about you before." He sighed softly. "I'm sorry."
He didn't know about her painful and dark experiences, nor did he put himself in her shoes. He even thought that she had no opinions of her own in order to cater to other people's preferences.
He had never thought about growing up in an environment like that, where pleasing and obeying were the only ways for young girls to protect themselves.
As long as you behave yourself, you won't be sent back. Only if you behave yourself, you will have a "better" life...
"I've found a teacher for you. Go ahead and continue learning painting! From now on, you don't need to consider other people's feelings. Just do what you like."
Ji Shuyu shook her head in refusal.
Having lived in someone else's home since she was a child, how could she put her own feelings above others!
What's more, Xia Mei's hatred for art is definitely no less than her hatred for Su Yan's face.
"It's pretty good now. Sister Manning and Master Fang have taught me a lot." She took a deep breath. "Besides, dreams... are too expensive."
For her, what is important now is not dreams or preferences, but a sense of security, and it is more useful to give yourself a sense of security.
Gu Xiuyuan listened and felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.
Bang——
Before he could speak, a sound came from outside.
Gu Xiuyuan looked at it and signaled Ji Shuyu to wait for him while he went to the door. However, he looked around but found nothing.
Ji Shuyu was a little confused and even more worried. "What's wrong?"
Gu Xiuyuan looked again, and after making sure that nothing was wrong, he shook his head.
Perhaps, the affairs of the Zhao family made him too uneasy.
Thinking about what happened that day makes me scared.
Ji Shuyu followed his gaze in confusion, but not only did she not notice anything, but her attention was drawn to the food cart across the street.
There were quite a few people lined up in front of the snack cart, and Ji Shuyu was lost in thought for a moment.
"What? Are you hungry?"
Because of the fever, she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. Gu Xiuyuan blamed himself for bringing her out in a moment of excitement.
"You're still sick, you can't eat those." Gu Xiuyuan said, looking around. "Wait here for me, don't run around!"
Gu Xiuyuan said this and hurried away.
Looking at the receding figure, Ji Shuyu felt a little complicated.
At this moment, a pungent smell came into her nose and she suddenly felt nauseous.
The vomiting caused by the heatstroke yesterday left her with some psychological trauma. This retching sensation made her feel even more inexplicably uneasy...
Gu Xiuyuan bought two bowls of porridge and came back. Looking at Ji Shuyu squatting on the steps, he quickened his pace.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" He looked at her worriedly.
She shook her head. "Let's go! I don't want to be here."
"Eat something first." Gu Xiuyuan took off his coat and spread it on the steps, asked her to sit down, and then opened the lunch box.
Simple rice porridge, without any embellishment.
"Eat some." He scooped out some and fed it to her.
Ji Shuyu refused.
They were no longer suited to this kind of tenderness, and it was more because she was afraid that she would vomit it out.
"obedient."
As he spoke, he put the bottle to his lips.
Ji Shuyu looked at him and ate a little. Fortunately, since there was no other taste, she didn't feel uncomfortable eating it.
Then I found my own worries funny, because I knew that it was impossible.
He fed her little by little, wiping the corners of her mouth from time to time.
"Wow, that girlfriend's boyfriend is so handsome and caring!" The little girl passing by whispered.
"No way!" another said. "Look, the age difference seems a bit too big..."
Cough~
Ji Shuyu suddenly choked, and Gu Xiuyuan froze.
Realizing that their whispers were heard, the two girls covered their faces and ran away.
Phew…
She didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when she saw Gu Xiuyuan's frozen face, she suddenly smiled, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.
Originally, after being depressed for many days, it should be a happy thing for her to smile, but now...
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Xiuyuan frowned with some displeasure.
"No, nothing..."
She held it in for dear life.
"So, you are laughing at them for saying I'm old?" Gu Xiuyuan put down the lunch box in his hand.
It's hard to imagine that he cares about something like "age".
"Actually, I'm not that young anymore." Ji Shuyu's smile slowly faded. "Twenty-eight, and I'll be thirty in the blink of an eye..."
"Ji Shuyu." Gu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth.
"How many thirty years can a person have?" She suddenly looked at him seriously: "Xiuyuan, actually... it's okay to be a little selfish."
"Ji Shuyu, you actually want to piss me off to death and make me die without another twenty-eight years!" He gritted his teeth.
At a time like this, she could actually be so generous as to advise him to be a little selfish?!
So, what does she mean...
"I want you to be happy," she said seriously. "Ever since I was little, I've wanted you to be happy every day..."
Woo…
Before she could finish her words, the back of her head was suddenly grabbed, and then he kissed her heavily.
Ji Shuyu's eyes widened in shock, and she reached out to push him, but her hand was grabbed and she couldn't struggle free at all.
Crazy?
Ji Shuyu's heart was beating like a drum.
Gu Xiuyuan never thought that he would do something like this in public one day, but when he heard her say she wanted to leave, and acted as if she was "thinking about him," he wanted to teach her a lesson.
"Have you never seen me lose my temper?" His breathing was slightly unsteady. "If you dare say something like that again, I'll really get angry!" He said, biting her lip.
ah!
She cried out in pain.
At this time, there were mostly students out having fun around, and I didn't know where the whistle came from.
Ji Shuyu pushed him away in a panic, then lowered her hat and ran away in a hurry.
Looking at the receding figure, Gu Xiuyuan felt both angry and amused.
He stood up, turned off the lights, locked the electronic door, picked up his coat, and turned to chase after him.
…
The video of Xia Zhenzhen being "humiliated" spread all over the circle. Now everyone knew that the Xia family had offended Gu Xiuyuan, and everyone was talking about whether the Xia family would become the next Zhao family.
Su Yan comforted her on the phone and promised her that she would persuade Gu Xiuyuan not to take action against the Xia family; she said that Gu Xiuyuan had no choice because Ji Shuyu was the old lady of the Gu family's favorite.
She took the credit for "saving" the Xia family on herself and pushed all the blame onto Ji Shuyu.
Today, Zhou Rui once again asked her about the needs of T City, and it was imperative to send her away.
At this moment, it would be difficult to get Xiuyuan to change his mind, but she wanted to kill Gu Bin!
Perhaps, based on this face, he would not sit idly by and watch himself go.
besides……
She opened her phone and looked at the photos of Qin Chuan and Ji Shuyu sent by Xia Zhenzhen.
At the same time, there was also a strange man in the picture.
Her intuition told her that the three of them were together, but she knew all of Xiuyuan's friends and had never seen such a person.
Then there is only one possibility left, Ji Shuyu!
She thought about the rumors that had been circulating before. Besides the Gu family, the He family was also the one that had been suppressing the Zhao family.
Could it be him?
Things suddenly seem to become interesting...
