When Ji Shuyu returned to Gu's house, the atmosphere at home was a little depressing. This familiar feeling of depression told her that Xia Mei and Gu Bin's relationship had not been harmonious recently.
"Young Madam."
"Where's grandma?" Ji Shuyu asked, already walking quickly over to knock on the door. "Grandma."
"The old lady has been locked in her room for a long time. She won't open the door no matter who knocks." Auntie said with a worried look on her face. "She won't eat either."
"Grandma, I'm back." She knocked on the door anxiously, her palms hurting from clapping.
squeak--
The door that had been closed all morning was opened.
"Xiaoyu?" The old lady looked at the aunt with some reproach, then pulled Ji Shuyu into the house, "Why did you come back? Have you eaten?"
"Not yet! Grandma." Ji Shuyu held the old woman's hand with an anxious look on her face, then gestured to her aunt to prepare the meal. "Why did you lock yourself up again? You don't even want to eat. You're not a good boy at all."
"I'm not hungry." Shulan shook her head dejectedly.
Seeing her depressed look, Ji Shuyu felt a pang in his heart.
Thinking of her grandmother's happy and expectant tone before her death, she felt even more guilty, blaming herself for not throwing away the pregnancy test kit in time. If she had disposed of it earlier, she wouldn't have made her grandmother so happy in vain.
"Grandma, it's all my fault. I should have told you earlier." She lowered her head.
"How can it be your fault?" the old man disagreed, "I just ate too much these days."
Listening to her grandmother's words, Ji Shuyu felt even more depressed.
"Oh, what happened?" Seeing her eyes were red, Shulan held her little face and rubbed it. "Okay, okay, grandma is fine, don't be sad, okay?"
It was she who caused the misunderstanding in the first place, and now she needed her grandmother to comfort her, which made Ji Shuyu even more sad.
"Okay, okay, grandma, eat now. Grandma will eat right away."
As the old man spoke, he asked the aunt to bring the food. In order to make Ji Shuyu happy, she ate several mouthfuls in a row.
Ji Shuyu was about to cry as she watched. Her chest felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, making it stuffy and difficult to breathe.
She was so reluctant to leave. She couldn't bear to leave her grandma.
"Grandma is really fine." Qi Shulan put down her chopsticks. "But you, why do you look so pale?"
"Grandma, my stomach feels uncomfortable."
"Oh~ Isn't it just that there is no baby yet? My Xiaoyu is still a baby herself, why are you in such a hurry!" The old woman said as she held her in her arms. "Grandma is not in a hurry, so Xiaoyu shouldn't be in a hurry either."
The tears she had been holding back fell one by one, and she finally hugged the old man tightly.
If she said she wanted to give up...
"Xiao Yu, do you have something to say to grandma?" Qi Shulan stroked her hair gently.
"Well, it's about the last time I studied abroad." She didn't dare to look up.
"Study abroad." The old woman heard this and pushed her out of her arms. "You haven't even been out of Yuncheng twice, how are you going to take care of yourself out there?" she said with a pout. "If you die, what will grandma do..."
"Grandma!" Ji Shuyu panicked instantly. "I was just saying it casually, casually." She said and hugged the old woman tightly. "I'm not anywhere, I'm right next to you, and I have to be filial to you!"
Qi Shulan stroked her hair gently, her eyes full of heartache.
"Did you have a fight with Xiuyuan? Did he do anything wrong to you?"
Ji Shuyu shook her head.
They weren't arguing, she was just tired, so tired...
"Xiao Yu, grandma is really worried about you." There was a hint of seriousness in Shulan's tone.
This reminded her of two years ago.
At that time, my grandmother was seriously ill, and she said the same thing: What if I die, what will happen to my Xiaoyu?
She had always hoped that she could marry Gu Xiuyuan.
At that time, Gu Xiuyuan was also being forced to marry by Xia Mei, so when the conflict between the mother and son reached its peak, when Xia Mei pointed at her casually and forced Gu Xiuyuan to marry her, Gu Xiuyuan nodded and agreed.
To Xia Mei, it doesn’t matter who Gu Xiuyuan marries, as long as it’s not Su Yan.
In fact, she didn't take it seriously. Even when Gu Xiuyuan suggested "Let's get married", she didn't dare to hope for it and only regarded it as a name. But later...
"Grandma, Xiaoyu has grown up. I will learn to take care of myself."
Qi Shulan's face was full of worry. Isn't the meaning of "learn to take care of yourself" obvious enough?
…
Yu Garden.
As soon as Ji Shuyu returned home, she fell on the bed. As soon as she closed her eyes, she was awakened by crying and shouting.
"Ranran~"
She opened her eyes and realized she was dreaming.
She gasped and swallowed.
When she came out of the hospital, Gu Xiuyuan's friend called and said that Mu Ran was with him and told her not to worry.
Outside the window, it was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain again.
She huddled in her blanket. How could she be so cold? She was freezing from the inside out...
…
It was late at night when Gu Xiuyuan came back from outside. The TV was on loudly, but the house was empty.
There was no Ji Shuyu on the sofa, nor was there any sound of her and her aunt chatting and laughing.
He went upstairs to the bedroom and saw Ji Shuyu curled up in a small ball beside the bed.
He paused for a moment, then walked towards the bathroom.
"Where's Ranran?"
Gu Xiuyuan turned around. At this time, was she only concerned about Mu Ran?
But seeing her gloomy face, he finally answered: "Put her in solitary confinement."
Ji Shuyu let out a long sigh, as if she was finally relieved, and then her whole body became weak.
"Gu Xiuyuan, let's get a divorce!" she whispered weakly. "Quietly, don't let Grandma know."
Gu Xiuyuan turned around suddenly. What?!
"Ji Shuyu, are you done yet?!" The pent-up anger suddenly erupted.
How many times has this happened?
"I said, I don't want to hear these two words!"
Why is he always so domineering? If he doesn't want to listen, can't she just say it?
"Aren't you tired?" Ji Shuyu raised her eyelids wearily. "Now that Su Yan is back, we can quietly divorce and do whatever you want. Isn't that a happy ending for everyone?"
"Ji Shuyu!" Gu Xiuyuan took a deep breath. "The reason."
The reason why she filed for divorce again and again.
reason?
Oh……
The reason, isn't it obvious?
"Then why don't you want to divorce?" she asked. "Why don't you divorce when you clearly love Su Yan?"
Gu Xiuyuan choked, his hands at his sides slowly clenched, but he did not answer.
Ji Shuyu wanted to talk to him, but she didn't have the energy, so she gave up.
"For your responsibility?" She laughed. "We said it was just a formality. Weren't you already thinking about the future back then?" She took a deep breath to relieve the tightness in her chest. "If it weren't for that bowl of soup, things wouldn't be like this. So you have no responsibility to me."
She spoke hesitantly, each word was light, but each word hit his heart hard.
"I'm tired of hearing this. Don't let me hear this anymore."
Bang——
The bathroom door slammed shut, and Ji Shuyu frowned and covered her chest.
The topic was once again ended unilaterally.
Gu Xiuyuan, I have liked you since I was old enough to understand. Do you know how much effort it took for me to say those two words?
bite--
A message came into Gu Xiuyuan's phone...
