Chapter 461 My Baby
"lifetime."
It probably won't take more than half a minute to write these three words in cursive.
But at this moment, it was as heavy as a huge rock, pressing on her heart.
She swallowed, knowing he was waiting for a reply.
Trying to put on a smile, he said softly, "Yeah."
The words fell.
She heard a low chuckle escape from his throat, and there was undisguised joy in the sound.
The white snow fluttered in front of her.
Very light.
The rain that fell on her eyelashes was so heavy that it made her eye sockets sore.
"Let's go into the cabin." Gu Zhou loosened his arms around her.
At that moment, the warmth in the arms suddenly disappeared, and an indescribable feeling of emptiness gripped her, chilling her to the bone.
But the next second.
When his hand was held again naturally.
The warmth of his palm pressed against hers, ending the almost panic-inducing feeling of emptiness that had only appeared for a few seconds.
She was taken into the cabin.
The interior decoration, the style of the curtains, and even the fire buckets used in emergencies at the time are exactly the same.
It's like time and space are disordered.
Some of her perceptions overlapped with those on the snowy mountain.
Gu Zhou half-knelt in front of the fire barrel and pressed the switch next to the barrel. A red flame immediately "ignited" inside the barrel.
It is a realistic, decorative fire, not real fire.
But it was obvious that he had it custom-made by someone. You can't buy such a rough appearance outside. The ones sold outside are all exquisite boxes. If he used this kind of discarded paint bucket, I'm afraid it would be unsalable.
The red flames illuminated his black eyes, which at this moment were as bright as obsidian.
"You were the one who lit the fire. Do you know what I was thinking when I saw the fire burning?" he laughed.
That faint smile seemed to be contagious, spreading to her face: "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Zhou curled his lips, his dark eyes suddenly dark: "I was thinking, thank goodness you were magnanimous and didn't leave me to die. If it weren't for you that night, I would have been in great danger."
Wang Yuanling walked over to him, kneeling down, his arm resting against his, his eyelashes drooping as he stared at the lifelike flames in the barrel, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I thought you were going to blame me, after all, it was me who hurt you with the sharp end of the ski."
Gu Zhou glanced sideways, and in the light of the fire, he stared at her deeply: "You didn't do it on purpose, why should I blame you."
Wang Yuanling turned around, met his deep gaze, and smiled even more. "You have a really good temper. If it were someone else, they would probably scold me to death."
Gu Zhou's eyes darkened: "Don't worry, with me here, no one can do that to you."
When rescued.
He would never allow her to appear in a scene where everyone only cared about him and she was left out in the crowd.
No one can bully her like that.
Wang Yuanling curved her eyes at him, touched his arm with her fingertips, and gently pulled it back.
Not much force.
Gu Zhou consciously sat down according to her force.
The hand was wrapped around her lower back, helping her sit down steadily.
They sat shoulder to shoulder in front of the fire barrel.
At this moment, it really seemed like they were back to that night, when they were leaning against a curtain together to keep out the cold.
Wang Yuanling leaned her head affectionately against his broad shoulder, her eyes unfocused as she gazed at the falling snow outside the window. Her voice was as soft as a dream, "When did you... start liking me?"
She is looking at the snow.
And he was looking at her.
Gu Zhou lowered his eyes, and gently brushed away the hair that fell on her cheek with his fingertips. He chuckled, "This question is a bit difficult. Maybe it was when you put aside the past and bandaged me with your own underwear, or when you got drunk and got angry at me."
The second half of the sentence made her laugh: "Who would be attracted to someone who loses his temper? You're so weird."
"Is it strange?" He lowered his head, his warm breath brushing against her hair. Unable to hold back, he gently kissed the curl of her hair, his voice low and gentle, "But different versions of you always make my heart beat. Whether you're happy or angry, that's still you, unique."
Her eyelashes trembled slightly.
"When you said you hated me." Gu Zhou's voice was filled with laughter, as if describing a rare treasure: "That fierce look was also very beautiful."
Wang Yuanling raised his head, looking puzzled, and teased: "Boss Gu, if you go out like this, people will call you a bootlicker."
Gu Zhou didn't get angry but smiled: "It doesn't matter, I can do it."
Wang Yuanling was stunned: "What can you do...you..."
She didn't know how to respond to his dirty talk.
Frowning, bewildered: "Gu Zhou, do you really like me so much?"
Although it was a question, it was very firm.
He seemed to really like her.
More than she expected.
Gu Zhou was frank, his lazy eyes full of smiles: "Is it because I haven't shown it clearly enough?"
How could that be.
He almost had a few big words written all over his face: I like Wang Yuanling.
But the more I discover this.
The more depressed she became.
Gu Zhou stared at her and asked, "When did you start to like me?"
In an instant.
Countless answers flashed through my mind.
But she didn't dare admit any of them.
So he said vaguely: "Well... a long time ago... I don't remember clearly, anyway, after I realized it, I... had a good impression of you."
Although Gu Zhou was not very satisfied with the first half of the sentence.
But at least the latter sentence can coax him into submission.
He smiled: "Okay, as long as you like me."
His requirements are really low.
Wang Yuanling thought.
Wang Yuanling didn't say anything, but just put her face back on his shoulder.
The cabin became quiet, with only the rustling of falling snow outside the window and the subtle sound of electricity in the barrel as the light and shadow of the simulated flame changed.
The lifelike firelight danced and flowed on their faces, stretching and blending the impact of the two people leaning against each other, and casting a shadow on the mottled wood-grained floor.
The sky gradually darkened.
They were barbecuing in front of the cabin. Of course, Gu Zhou was the one barbecuing and she was responsible for eating.
She sipped her sweet orange juice, bit into her skewer, and looked up.
Gu Zhou, with his brows slightly furrowed and an expression of concentration flipping the skewers, looked particularly handsome in the moonlight.
The moonlight covers the flower forest like a veil, making it look like a paradise.
There was no one around.
At this moment, it seemed as if they were the only two people left in the world.
Nothing can disturb this quiet beauty.
"Okay, that's enough, come and eat it." Looking at the big bunch in front of him.
She hurriedly called out to Gu Zhou.
"Okay, come back after you finish roasting these leeks."
Gu Zhou quickly brought several large bunches of oil-soaked leeks and placed them on the plate in front of her.
"Try the saltiness." He took off his oven gloves, picked up a string and handed it to her lips.
Wang Yuanling subconsciously reached out to take it.
Gu Zhou slightly moved his wrist to avoid it, then handed it back steadily, his voice low: "The skewer is hot, I'll hold it, you just bite it."
"Thank you." It was already handed to her mouth. She didn't refuse anymore and obediently moved closer. Following his posture, she carefully bit off a piece of the well-roasted leek tip.
The aroma of warm oil mixed with the spicy aroma of cumin spreads in your mouth, with just the right amount of salty flavor.
"Delicious!" She gently pushed his hand back: "Try it too."
Gu Zhou smiled: "Okay." He lowered his head and bit off the remaining chives along the place where she had bitten.
Wang Yuanling looked at him with bright eyes, a smile in her eyes: "Thank you for preparing all this for me. I am very happy today and I like everything."
Gu Zhou's lips curled up casually: "It's not over yet."
Wang Yuanling was stunned: "What..."
I saw him leisurely put down the skewers and wipe his hands clean.
Suddenly he leaned over and covered her ears.
"Bang!" A beam of light rushed into the sky, exploding into gorgeous and huge fireworks.
In the world where Wang Yuanling was protected in his palm, the deafening explosion became distant and dull, as if it was separated by a thick curtain of water.
Only the ultimate visual splendor struck her eyes without reservation.
One bunch, two bunches, countless bunches of romantic and dazzling purple fireworks. They were not traditional fireworks pictures, but objects that had appeared around her: round steamed buns, the crystal fox, and a cartoon version of her skiing, reporting, smiling, and an angry look with her hands on her hips.
The angry one is really lifelike.
She couldn't help laughing.
A larger cluster of fireworks exploded in the air.
Four big words exploded: Happy Birthday.
Immediately after the next bunch of purple fireworks exploded again, revealing four words: My baby.
She stared blankly at the colorful sky, her heart beating violently with every explosion.
The brilliant light and shadow flickered, illuminating the indescribable shock in her eyes and... a hint of confusion wrapped in great happiness.
This brilliance that bloomed for her alone was so grand and so desperate that it weighed heavily on her heart, almost making her forget to breathe.
The light and shadow of the fireworks flickered in her unfocused pupils, just like her turbulent emotions at the moment.
