"Miss……"
Looking at the aunt standing outside the door, Ji Shuyu's expression froze inch by inch, and it took a long time before she found her voice: "Auntie, what's wrong?"
Auntie swallowed her saliva and said with some concern: "I see it's thundering and raining outside, I'll accompany you!"
Ji Shuyu shook her head and said, "No need."
Judging from her expression, it must be Gu Xiuyuan's intention!
What does this mean?
He couldn't come, but he was still thinking about her?
Oh……
This kind of thought is really... disgusting.
"I'm fine, you should get some rest early!"
He closed the door and pressed his back against it to prevent himself from sliding down.
She closed her eyes tightly, controlled her emotions, and tried to take deep breaths.
It’s no big deal, it’s just a thunderstorm, right?
Yesterday you told grandma that you would learn to take care of yourself!
Well, you can.
She walked inside with her back straight, tripping over the slippers she had kicked to the floor. Her body swayed, and the tears that had been welling up in her eyes suddenly fell...
She didn't wipe it away, pretending that the useless tear had never fallen, then she walked stiffly to the bay window and lay down.
This time she didn't let herself shrink under the covers.
The man's humming rang in my ears again: "Little bunny, open the door..."
…
It rained all night long, and it was almost dawn when Gu Xiuyuan came back from outside.
"First."
As soon as Gu Xiuyuan entered the door, he saw his aunt coming out of her room.
He frowned, "Didn't I ask you to accompany the young lady?!"
"I……"
Before the aunt finished speaking, Gu Xiuyuan had already hurried upstairs.
The bedroom was empty and he couldn't find anyone in the cloakroom, so he went to the study.
He gently opened the door and walked in. The familiar music was faintly playing inside, but there was no trace of her within his sight. Finally, he looked at the bookcase...
Gu Xiuyuan's breathing became a little tight, and he walked over slowly. Just as he stretched out his hand, the door of the bookcase was pushed open, and then Ji Shuyu fell out from inside.
"Xiao Yu." Gu Xiuyuan exclaimed and reached out to help.
Ji Shuyu looked at him and avoided him helplessly.
After curling up in the bed for several hours, her whole body was stiff. She didn't try to get up, but sat there for a while, waiting for her body to adjust, and then slowly stood up.
Gu Xiuyuan didn't dare to reach out his hand easily, worried that she would fall if she dodged.
Looking at her pale and fragile appearance, my heart tightened.
Ji Shuyu supported herself. Her body was a little unstable and she moved slowly by holding onto the wall. Every step was so difficult, but with every step, her back straightened a little.
"Xiaoyu," Gu Xiuyuan stood up and walked over. He wanted to help her, but just as he stretched out his hand, she moved away, as if he were some venomous snake or beast.
Gu Xiuyuan's hands slowly clenched, and he just watched her walk out of the room, into the guest bedroom, and then close the door...
Click——
The sudden sound of the bullet seemed to hit my heart, causing me to feel an indescribable pain...
…
After taking a shower, she looked at herself in the mirror, looking exhausted. She tried hard to purse her lips, but gave up after trying a few times.
Forget it, since smiling is uglier than crying, don’t make things difficult for yourself.
When I came out of the guest bedroom, Gu Xiuyuan was still standing at the door.
She didn't look at him, didn't say anything, just walked past him...
Gu Xiuyuan moved his lips, but no sound came out.
During breakfast, the air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Gu Xiuyuan choked violently with every bite, but Ji Shuyu didn't seem to be affected at all.
"Xiao Yu." Gu Xiuyuan said. "I'm going on a business trip for a few days."
Ji Shuyu paused chewing, then said "hmm", picked up the milk and took a small sip.
"Three days. I'll be back soon."
He didn't know why he added this, but her quiet appearance at the moment... made him feel uncomfortable.
"Got it." He put down the cup and stood up.
"Ji Shuyu!" His voice was slightly higher.
Doesn't she have anything to say?
"Do you want me to help you pack?" She nodded, with no emotion in her eyes.
Gu Xiuyuan slowly clenched his hands at his sides, then gritted his teeth. "No need."
"Oh." She turned around quietly and went upstairs.
Looking at that thin, lonely figure, Gu Xiuyuan clenched his hands even tighter, as if something was leaking out from between his fingers...
vomit--
In the bathroom, Ji Shuyu vomited out the food that was blocking her chest and was able to breathe.
She leaned against the washbasin and gasped for breath, then rubbed her mouth with the back of her hand carelessly.
Looking at my pale and disheveled self in the mirror, I smiled this time.
"Well done..."
She patted her head in appreciation.
Ji Shuyu, you can do it...
…
Gu Xiuyuan is on a business trip.
She didn't ask or think about whether he was on a business trip or a "business trip" this time, she just filled her time.
She told herself: If I have time to think about random things, it means I have too much free time. I just need to be busy.
She signed herself up for online classes, packed her time, and immersed herself in design drafts during her free time.
I am busy every day until the sun goes down, and then I fall asleep...
This went on until late at night on the third day.
Ji Shuyu, who was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down, suddenly woke up with a start.
Her heart was pounding, and a voice in her heart told her: Today is the third day.
But the person who was supposed to come never came.
Oh……
It seems that he is on a "business trip".
She took out her cell phone and looked at the time. It was 23:33, and there were only 27 minutes left until the "third day"!
There are still 27 days left..., which is your 15th day in the Gu family, your 15th day by Gu Xiuyuan's side.
I kept myself busy day and night, numbing myself with fatigue, just to ignore this matter, but in the end I still failed.
The most important anniversary in her heart, her wedding, but to him, it was just an ordinary, small day in his busy life.
From the moment he mentioned 'business trip', she knew he had no recollection. She shouldn't have secretly hoped for it. He said three days was the time for their anniversary...
I already had the answer in my mind, but I still stared at my phone without giving up.
The screen went off and on again, and she just watched the time pass by little by little, feeling her expectations gradually shattered...
Finally, the time reached 23:59, almost midnight.
She counted down silently in her heart, as if counting down for the obsession in her heart...
10, 9, 8...
"Xiaoyu, happy fourteenth week..." She said to herself with a smile in the last few seconds.
3, 2...
bite--
The sudden sound scared her so much that she dropped her phone.
Her heart was pounding, and she reached for her phone to look at the WeChat message hanging on the window.
Before the phone fell, she saw that it was a picture message sent by Gu Xiuyuan.
She suddenly felt a little nervous, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably, but she didn't have the courage to click it.
He rarely sends her messages on his own initiative.
So what is this? His blessing, or... something from Su Yan, something she couldn't bear.
The message was still open, and then the phone rang again.
Looking at the beating name, her heart beat even more wildly, her fingertips trembled and hesitated, then she pressed the answer button.
She held her breath, slowly put the phone to her ear, and listened to the voice on the other end...
