"That's true. After all, I'm not as willing to sacrifice as you." K laughed, "But we're all dogs, so who is nobler?"
The call was hung up and Gu Xiuwen threw the phone away heavily.
He had long been accustomed to K not taking him seriously, but the sentence "Did Ji Shuyu even look at you?" really irritated him.
Yes, no matter when she was a child or now, she had never really taken him seriously.
In her eyes, there is only Gu Xiuyuan!!
He regretted that he should have...
But in the final analysis, he still couldn't bear to take risks with her. After all, once Gu Xiuyuan was infected, Xiaoyu would be the most dangerous.
He took Huo Yuxuan away from the abandoned school, intending to use her to deal with Gu Xiuyuan, but then discovered that she was infected with HIV.
He tortured her, repaying her for what she had done to Xiaoyu tenfold, a hundredfold, bringing her hatred to its peak. Then he gave her a chance to escape, letting her take away her "used" syringe, and watched her go find Gu Xiuyuan.
Because someone was operating behind the scenes, everything went surprisingly smoothly.
Gu Xiuyuan got the forged contract and made a decision that did not disappoint anyone.
Thinking of this, his chest suddenly felt a little better.
He lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
So what if she doesn’t have eyes for me?
After all... there is no possibility for her and Gu Xiuyuan anymore, but I still have a chance.
…
Those who came to visit Old Mrs. Gu were all Gu Xiuyuan's old friends. As if they had discussed it beforehand, they showed up together and then took Ji Shuyu to eat together.
Ji Shuyu felt uneasy, so after taking two bites, she made an excuse to go aside to get some fresh air.
"Xiao Yu'er." Qin Chuan came out with two glasses of wine. "Have a drink?"
"Third brother, I have to take care of grandma at night."
"Just a little, no big deal." Qin Chuan clinked the two cups together and handed it to Ji Shuyu.
This action really stunned Ji Shuyu. She took it and took a sip.
"Look at those people." Qin Chuan raised his chin towards Gu Xiuyuan, "It's rare for everyone to get together, but that kid only has eyes for you."
"What does Third Brother want to say?"
"I believe you can see that he has his own reasons." Qin Chuanyu, "Why can't you have a good talk?"
"Since he doesn't want to talk, what's the point of talking?" Ji Shuyu laughed, "Looking back now, I realize how humble I was in the past."
She swirled her glass gently.
"No!" Qin Chuan said anxiously, "Xiao Yu'er, you just love him."
Yes, I love him more than I love myself.
So, she lost.
"Maybe, that's why I'm not cherished!" She took a sip of wine.
After a moment, he raised his head and drank it all, and Qin Chuan didn't even have time to stop him.
"He must have a reason." Qin Chuan was anxious. "Xiao Yu'er, Xiuyuan and I grew up together, I know him..."
"Why don't you tell me what happened to him, Third Brother?" She tilted her head and chuckled.
Qin Chuan choked.
"Xiao Yu'er, he must have his reasons..."
"I asked you before, but now I don't want to know." She put down her wine glass. "Third brother, I know you mean well, but don't say these things again."
"Look, aren't we doing pretty well now?"
What's good about it.
If it is really good, why should they be so anxious?
Ji Shuyu smiled, "Third brother, actually...it's time for you to move on!"
She patted his arm and turned away.
“…”
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment.
So, was I being "educated" by a little girl?
This guy has no respect for elders!
Who are you photographing?!
…
Because of Gu Xiuyuan, everyone who knows Ji Shuyu can be said to have watched her grow up.
Although she had become the distinguished young lady of the Huo family, her attitude towards her friends, both familiar and unfamiliar, was no different from usual.
With Qin Chuan's glass of wine as the opening, it would not be so easy to refuse others when they came.
After a few drinks, Ji Shuyu began to feel dizzy.
"It's almost done." Gu Xiuyuan said.
These people had agreed to take turns "toasting" the two of them. It was so obvious what they were thinking.
"We still have to take care of grandma, so we can't drink too much."
"Have fun today!" Someone protested, "Grandma is being taken care of by Auntie, so have one last drink."
Having been in the business world for more than ten years, Gu Xiuyuan didn't care about this little bit of alcohol, not to mention that he had been busy and enduring the past three years in a life of drinking and smoking.
After Ji Shuyu started working, her alcohol tolerance improved a little, but only a little. After a few drinks, she was no longer able to drink.
Seeing that it was almost done, everyone retreated.
When they went out to eat with friends, it was inconvenient to bring bodyguards with them, so Qin Chuan arranged a car to take them there when they left.
Ji Shuyu had a little too much to say. After getting in the car, she suddenly missed her baby and asked the driver to take her to the hotel.
Gu Xiuyuan didn't say anything.
To put it bluntly, this game tonight was set up by Qin Chuan for the two of them. I believe Qin Chuan must have talked a lot to her in the past two days.
Although he was destined to disappoint their kindness, he was already very satisfied to be able to spend some time alone with Xiaoyu.
I don't know if it was intentional on the part of the driver, but the car was driving very slowly.
The journey was very quiet, with the car windows blocking out the lights from outside.
The light was dim, and the oppressive atmosphere was amplified.
Ji Shuyu closed her eyes and took a rest under the influence of alcohol. Perhaps it was the alcohol that took effect, but she actually fell asleep.
Gu Xiuyuan was worried that his direct gaze would make her uncomfortable, so he was cautious even when looking at her.
My shoulders suddenly felt heavy.
Looking at Ji Shuyu leaning on his shoulder, Gu Xiuyuan's breathing stopped, his heartbeat slowed down for a beat, and then began to beat wildly.
For a moment, he was even worried that the restless heartbeat would wake her up.
Gu Xiuyuan breathed very lightly, fearing to disturb the peace at the moment.
Looking at her sleeping face, he raised his hand, gently touched her cheek, and then couldn't help but hold her in his arms.
The moment he held her in his arms, he felt such intense heartache that he couldn't control his sadness.
He carefully held her a little tighter, then with trembling lips, he gently kissed her hair.
The bitterness in his eyes became increasingly uncontrollable, and his heart was throbbing with pain, as if it was rhythmically moving. Gradually, he even had difficulty breathing...
The car stopped in front of the hotel.
Ji Shuyu didn't wake up.
Gu Xiuyuan just looked at her quietly, then greedily hugged her a little tighter.
He should have cherished the little time he had, but his heart was filled with sadness and despair as time counted down...
When she woke up, he would return to his original position.
Snap——
Tears fell from my eyes.
The burning pain seemed to reach his heart directly. He looked at her and couldn't help but move closer, then kissed her gently...
