Coming out of the Eternal Night, Gu Xiuyuan remembered the darkening look in Ji Shuyu's eyes when he said "they did it on purpose".
"Mr. Gu." The driver waited for his instructions.
"Go back to Yu Garden."
…
After the rain fell all night, the sky became even darker and the wind became stronger, as if it was going to rain heavily.
When Ji Shuyu came back from outside, exhausted, it was already dark.
Most of the resumes she submitted at previous job fairs fell into oblivion, so she didn't dare hold out any hope this time.
Maybe it was a mistake to choose this major.
It's obviously a lack of design talent!
"Miss." When the aunt saw her come back, she hurried forward.
She didn't look happy until she saw the aunt who was taking care of Xia Mei in the living room.
Ji Shuyu knew the purpose of her coming.
Looking at the medicine on the table, she suddenly felt like a concubine in ancient times who was given medicine after returning from a royal bed.
"Young Madam."
"Yeah." She responded calmly and walked upstairs.
"This is what the lady ordered."
"Leave it there!" she replied casually.
"Young Madam!" Auntie stepped forward. "I said this is what Madam meant."
"I said leave it there!" Ji Shuyu said coldly, his eyes sweeping over him indifferently.
The aunt was stunned. She didn't expect her to resist directly. In the past, she always drank it obediently.
I was a little unhappy about this setback, but I didn't dare to say anything. I just said a few polite words and left.
"Miss." Auntie looked at her with some heartache.
"Put it away! Don't let Xiuyuan see it." Ji Shuyu was exhausted.
Over the past year or so, she and Gu Xiuyuan had taken few measures, but they still hadn't conceived. She thought it was because of her cold constitution, so she followed Xia Mei's instructions, checking in and taking medicine without a moment's rest.
However, it shouldn't be necessary in the future.
Ji Shuyu took the quilt directly from the guest bedroom and walked into the study.
This is her little world. It's not big, but it gives her enough sense of security...
No, this is not her place either.
Therefore, she must find a job as soon as possible. Only with a job can she plan for the next step, otherwise everything will be in vain.
She sat on the bay window holding her computer, intending to browse job information, but she didn't read anything.
The wind whistled so hard that the glass shook. She kept looking out the window, but the familiar car never appeared...
…
Hospital
Su Yan's cheeks were pale without a trace of blood. She had just come out of the operating room after her wound was torn and sutured.
Gu Xiuyuan's face was gloomy, and the nurse didn't dare to breathe.
This really wasn't because she wasn't taking good care of him! The patient fell off the bed and that's when the wound tore.
Su Yan's face turned pale with pain, tears streaming down her face one after another. She looked at Gu Xiuyuan with resentment, as if she was saddened by his indifference to her.
"Xiuyuan, don't you want to take care of me anymore?" she choked. "You said you'd leave the surgery to me, and now that it's over, you've fulfilled your promise. From now on, my life or death has nothing to do with you..."
Gu Xiuyuan pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
"If my wound hadn't split, you wouldn't have come at all?" Su Yan cried even more sadly, then choked in pain while covering her wound.
At this moment, the changed hospital gown was placed brightly beside the bed. Under the bright white light, the red color was dazzling.
"Don't get excited." Gu Xiuyuan finally stepped forward. "How did you fall off the bed?"
"I'm scared." She looked at him sadly with tears in her eyes. "I couldn't sleep all night. My dreams were filled with those scenes from the past..."
Her low voice was full of heartbreak, and it struck Gu Xiuyuan's heart.
Yes, those memories are also Su Yan’s nightmares.
Back then, Su Yan was the one who escaped death among the many injured children, and she was injured because of him.
Boom——
There was suddenly a loud noise outside the window.
Gu Xiuyuan pulled himself out of his memories and turned to watch as lightning streaked through the thick clouds, followed by heavy rain pouring down...
"Xiuyuan." She grabbed his hand. "Don't leave me alone, okay?"
Her hands were so cold that there was no trace of temperature, and her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
She looked at him and begged: "Just today..."
Gu Xiuyuan's hands slowly clenched, his heart full of struggle...
Su Yan slowly let go as if understanding something. "You're worried about Xiaoyu, right? Just like last time." She choked out. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made such an unreasonable request..."
She let go, then turned her back, covering her wound.
Looking at her slightly shaking shoulders, he slowly loosened his clenched fingers.
"Don't be afraid, just sleep peacefully! I'm here."
Su Yan looked back with tears in her eyes.
"Xiuyuan?" She seemed a little unbelieving.
"Go to sleep!" He sat down on the chair beside the bed.
Seeing his action, Su Yan knew that it was time!
She stretched out her hand weakly towards him, but Gu Xiuyuan didn't respond. She shrank back into the quilt pitifully.
"Xiuyuan, I... I fell off the bed because I dreamed that you were angry and ignored me." She choked slightly.
"Ranran, actually, you didn't hit me..." She burst into tears. "I was just mad at them for always bullying me, so I lied to you and didn't stop Auntie from exaggerating."
She cried even harder, feeling regretful and blaming herself.
Su Yan observed Gu Xiuyuan's expression bit by bit, but she couldn't guess what he was thinking. She cursed that aunt in her heart for being useless. She said everything after being frightened!
Now she no longer expected him to explain what happened in the morning. She was lucky enough to be able to let go of what happened yesterday.
Xing Tuo's injury was a last-minute plan on her part. If she knew about it, there would be no hope at all.
It seems that I still have to act in my own drama in the future...
Gu Xiuyuan frowned as he listened, surprised by her and for a moment not knowing how to judge.
Mu Ran has disliked Su Yan since childhood and has always been making trouble for her. It is understandable that Su Yan can't stand it.
But she directed and acted in her own plays time and again...
"Xiuyuan, I'm just scared." Su Yan shrank back. "I'm afraid you won't care about me. I don't want to be caught and taken back. Xiuyuan, I don't want to marry that tyrannical old man..."
Gu Xiuyuan's fingers stiffened when he heard this.
So, it was because I didn't fulfill my promise that made her feel insecure and used this method to save herself...
"You are the only one in my heart, and you have always been the only one." She sobbed. "I just want to be by your side, just seeing you is enough, really..."
She was humble and pitiful, curled up, her voice gradually became lower, and soon she "fell asleep".
Su Yan's low whisper, accompanied by the violent storm outside the window, struck his heart hard...
…
Yuyuan
Ji Shuyu turned on all the lights in the study, and her body trembled with the sound of thunder and rain outside the window.
She told herself not to be afraid, that the matter was over and that both of them had received the punishment they deserved. Then she opened her phone and found the light music.
This was the song that Gu Xiuyuan recorded for her when she was a child. Whenever she was scared, she would use it to comfort herself.
She told herself that she couldn't always rely on others. Just as she slowly curled herself into the quilt, stuffy and soaked all over, there was a knock on the study door.
At that moment, all her pretense of strength and disguise were shattered. She threw back the quilt, rushed out of bed, opened the door and rushed over.
"Xiuyuan..."
