Chapter 192 Waiting for Him to Come Back
Gu Zhiyuan was still wondering in her mind whether Shen Xubai would let her stay if the rain got too heavy.
Although she would definitely stay in a guest room, this would be a big step for her.
It turned out that she was overthinking it.
Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock and the rain showed no sign of letting up, Shen Xubai said, "It's very late. I'll take you home first."
Gu Zhiyuan glanced out the window. It was windy and rainy. This man really had a cruel heart.
But she also knew that with Shen Xubai's personality, it was impossible for her to stay, not to mention that they lived so close to each other. It seemed that being neighbors was not all good.
Shen Xubai handed her a coat: "The rain is too heavy, put it on to keep out the rain."
Gu Zhiyuan took a look at his shirt and thought it was okay.
Shen Xubai's clothes were too big for her, with empty sleeves and the hem covering her mid-thigh. She rolled up her sleeves and held Good Luck in her arms.
As soon as you open the door, the wind and rain blow towards you, leaving you no chance to breathe.
Shen Xubai opened a black umbrella and said, "Be careful with your steps. Let's go."
On such a windy and rainy night, there was no one on the road. The slanting raindrops hit my body and my pants were quickly wet.
After the lightning, a loud thunder suddenly sounded. Gu Zhiyuan was startled and subconsciously leaned towards Shen Xubai, grabbing his sleeve with his hand.
Shen Xubai looked down at the slender white fingers tightly clutching his sleeves, tilted the umbrella towards her, and said softly, "It's okay, we'll be there soon."
Shen Xubai's fingers gripped the umbrella handle tightly, ensuring that the wind wouldn't blow it away. Because they had to shield Gu Zhiyuan, the distance between them was very close, their shoulders and arms almost touching, far exceeding the safe distance.
At the wrist, the little girl's fingers tugged at his sleeve tightly, and as she walked, her fingers unconsciously brushed against his arm.
The fingertips were cool, but the skin became hot.
The raindrops as big as beans hit the umbrella and fell to the ground, making a rustling sound.
As the footsteps fell, water splashed everywhere, and the figures of two people holding umbrellas were reflected in the vortex, gradually moving away in the rainy night.
Shen Xubai sent Gu Zhiyuan to the door of the living room. He put away his umbrella, looked at her clothes soaked by the rain, and said in a clear voice: "Come in."
Gu Zhiyuan put Good Luck into the house and looked up at Shen Xubai. Half of his shoulder was wet, and the hair on his forehead was stained with rain mist. The wet clothes stuck to his body, revealing a bit of sexiness.
"You're all wet."
Shen Xubai looked down and said, "I'll just go back and take a shower."
Auntie was still waiting in the living room. She heard the noise and came out. Seeing that both of them were soaking wet, she said, "It's raining so hard, you're all soaked. I'll make some ginger soup for you to drink."
"No need to bother, I'll go back first." Shen Xubai nodded slightly, picked up the umbrella, opened it, turned around and walked into the rain.
"Remember to tell me when you arrive!" Gu Zhiyuan shouted behind him.
Shen Xubai's figure disappeared in the rain. Gu Zhiyuan didn't know whether he heard it or not, and was dragged by his aunt to take a bath.
After taking a shower and drinking ginger soup, Gu Zhiyuan burrowed into bed and opened WeChat, only to see a message from Shen Xubai half an hour ago:
[I'm home, go to bed early]
Gu Zhiyuan looked at the message on the screen and rolled around on the bed with the phone in his hand. Not only did he hear it, he also did it.
She felt that Shen Xubai was no longer as distant and cold to her as before.
Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, she curled her lips and replied to him: [I will return your clothes after washing them. Be careful not to catch a cold.]
Old man: [OK]
Gu Zhiyuan muttered softly, "Finally, it's not 'hmm' anymore."
…
In the coffee shop, Gu Zhiyuan looked across at Cen Wan and marveled, "She's back from her honeymoon, and her face is so rosy. Love really does nourish people."
Cen Wan took a sip of the coffee in front of her and teased her, "Why do I smell a bit sour in it?"
"More than a little, I am now a hundred-year-old vinegar and a thousand-year-old lemon essence."
Gu Zhiyuan exaggeratedly said: "You don't know how much I want to become a family with you."
Cen Wan glanced at her and asked, "Do you want to be a family with me or with Big Brother?"
Gu Zhiyuan chuckled: "It's all the same."
"Yuanyuan has gone to City A again this time. Is my distant cousin still chasing after her?"
Cen Wan: "Yes, Yuanyuan is now afraid to return to South City."
Gu Zhiyuan: "She doesn't know how to appreciate the blessing she has. I'm still chasing after Chen Xu for nothing."
Cen Wan smiled and said, "How about you two switch?"
"No, Ji Yuanchen is such a fool, so stubborn that Yuanyuan has to deal with him." Gu Zhiyuan refused without thinking. She would rather gnaw on Chen Xubai's stone.
"By the way, did you have a fun honeymoon?"
Cen Wan: "Not bad."
They did go to many places. Shen Yixiao took her to see the northern lights, go skiing, experience reindeer sledding, and visit a fairytale town.
But they were gone for more than half a month, and spent most of their time in the hotel, either sleeping or on the way to sleep, and her waist was almost broken.
If she played outside every day, she would be happier. But Shen Yixiao obviously wouldn't let her rest.
Gu Zhiyuan: "It seems that Shen Yixiao still needs to improve."
Cen Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's true. You should become his sister-in-law as soon as possible and teach him a lesson."
Gu Zhiyuan nodded: "Of course!"
She is also looking forward to that day.
Today is Shen Xubai's birthday. He is going back to the Shen family's old house for dinner in the evening. Gu Zhiyuan is going to buy him a gift. Just then, Cen Wan comes back, so he takes her along.
The two of them went shopping and picked out gifts. Gu Zhiyuan prepared to make a cake for him herself, and they went to a dessert shop together.
When making the cake, Cen Wan did not help, but only provided some suggestions.
"Zhizhi, why don't you come over for dinner tonight? It'll be more lively with more people."
Gu Zhiyuan shook his head: "No, I'll go back and wait for him."
She still has some sense of propriety.
At least not now, she is not suitable to go.
"Just let me know when Shen Xubai leaves the Shen family tonight."
"good."
After helping Gu Zhiyuan make the cake, Cen Wan had to go back to the old house. After all, it was Shen Xubai's birthday, and she couldn't arrive until dinner time.
Shen Yixiao came to pick her up, and when he saw Gu Zhiyuan, he raised his eyebrows: "Whose birthday cake is this for?"
Cen Wan nudged him with her arm and warned him with her eyes not to provoke her.
Gu Zhiyuan wasn't afraid of his provocation. The more he provoked her, the more her fighting spirit grew. "This is for your big brother. His memory is so bad, Wanwan. Be careful he might get Alzheimer's in the future."
Seeing the two people about to fight as soon as they met, Cen Wan quickly pulled Shen Yixiao away and turned to say to Gu Zhiyuan, "We're going back first. Contact us by phone."
Hearing the word "we" from Cen Wan's mouth, Shen Yixiao decided not to argue with Gu Zhiyuan. After all, she is still a miserable single dog.
And he already has a wife.
…
Gu Zhiyuan went home to have dinner, took a walk for a while, and after receiving the message from Cen Wan, he calculated the time and went to Shen Xubai's door with the cake and gifts.
She saw through the fence that there was no light on in the villa, so she sat at the door and waited.
The summer night was not cold, but there were a lot of mosquitoes. After she had swatted countless mosquitoes, she finally heard footsteps.
After Shen Xubai left the old house, he was called by some friends to have a drink.
When I came back, I saw a figure squatting in front of the door from a distance.
He approached and saw Gu Zhiyuan sitting on the steps with her knees hugged, with two exquisite boxes beside her.
I don't know how long I've been waiting here.
The moment those eyes saw him, they lit up: "You're back!"
