Chapter 107
The night in Nan'an City was much quieter than Jiang Huai's. After the two of them had dinner, Gu Cunxi drove through the streets of this small city. Pei Yin would talk about the surrounding specialty shops, delicacies and interesting things she had experienced at every scene she passed by, as if she wanted to tell her about her past. Her words were full of joy. Gu Cunxi would turn his head to look at her from time to time, his eyes full of doting.
There was a flower shop on the roadside not far away that attracted Gu Cunxi's attention. She suddenly remembered that she had never given flowers to Pei Pei... She thought about it and parked the car on the side of the road.
"Cunxi, what's wrong?" Pei Yin asked in confusion when she saw her suddenly stop.
"I'm going to buy something, you wait for me in the car!" Gu Cunxi unbuckled his seat belt, leaned over and kissed Pei Yin's lips lightly.
"Hmm!" Pei Yin responded with a sob, and he closed his eyes and raised his head to kiss her back. Gu Cunxi's softness and fragrance made her nostalgic, and her body softened as if she was in a flower garden, wanting to indulge in it forever.
Originally, she just wanted to give him a light kiss, but when they got close, she couldn't bear to move away. Gu Cunxi held her, and the two of them lingered in the small and enclosed space for a while until Pei Yin gradually became breathless, and she finally moved away with satisfaction.
Looking at Pei Yin's blushing face, which looked even more alluring under the dim light in the car, Gu Cunxi slightly moved his throat, suppressed his chaotic desires, and said lovingly, "Wait for me here! I'll be back soon!"
Pei Yin nodded
After getting off the car, Gu Cunxi deliberately went around to the back of the car, walked forward for a distance, crossed the road out of sight of the rearview mirror, and went back. She didn't want Pei Pei to see her entering the flower shop, so she wanted to give her a surprise!
When she pushed open the door of the flower shop, a burst of fragrance hit her in the face. Gu Cunxi took a deep breath and felt the scent of happiness all over her body. She suddenly wanted to open a flower shop with Pei Pei, next to the coffee shop!
"Hello!" The woman in the flower shop came forward with a smile: "Would you like to buy some flowers?"
"Yeah!" Gu Cunxi smiled and nodded. She didn't know much about flowers, so she stood there and looked around, looking embarrassed.
Giving roses is a bit cheesy...
The woman noticed Gu Cunxi's hesitation, smiled and asked, "I wonder if the person you want to send is a friend or a family member? I can give you some advice!"
"It's my love!" Gu Cunxi said without hesitation.
"!" The woman was visibly stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and said with a friendly smile, "I don't see many women coming here to buy flowers for gentlemen. You, sir, are very happy!"
"..." Gu Cunxi pursed his lips in anger and explained helplessly, "It's lover! But not husband!"
“!!”
There was a pause...
The woman's eyes flashed with surprise, then she nodded in understanding and said, "So that's how it is! I guess... you're not planning on choosing roses!"
"?" Gu Cunxi raised an eyebrow, surprised that the woman had guessed her thoughts correctly: "How do you know that I don't want to choose roses?"
"Roses are usually the first choice for lovers, but seeing you're so hesitant, you must want to give something special!" the woman said with a chuckle.
Indeed, giving Pei Pei roses would make her feel a bit vulgar. Gu Cunxi looked around the store and saw a bunch of sunflowers in front of the door that attracted her.
"Um... Sunflower, what do you think?" Gu Cunxi pointed to the door and turned to ask the woman
"Sunflowers represent unwavering love, so I think it's a good choice for you." The woman nodded and waved her hand in agreement.
"That's it! Nine flowers."
Gu Cunxi looked at her watch. It had been almost half an hour since she came in. Pei Pei must be getting anxious!
After choosing the wrapping paper and ribbon, Gu Cunxi waited for a while. The woman wrapped it very carefully.
“Can I write a greeting card?”
"certainly!"
…
Pei Yin waited in the car, looked at the time, and felt a little worried. Gu Cunxi was not familiar with this place at all... Maybe he got lost...
She thought about it, took out her cell phone and called, but it kept saying busy. She couldn't reach her, and Pei Yin became more and more anxious. She decided to go look for her. After locking the car, Pei Yin looked around for the familiar figure, but the street was dark and there was no one on the road.
She dialed Gu Cunxi's number several times, but no one answered. The feeling of not being able to contact her made her more and more scared and anxious!
Pei Yin followed the direction Gu Cunxi had just left, searching all the way, making calls non-stop...
She wasn't familiar with this city at all! She shouldn't have been left wandering around alone. Pei Yin looked at the thirteen calls on her phone, her heart sinking to the bottom...
She went to all the stores she passed by, but didn't see Gu Cunxi. She was so anxious that she almost cried... Apart from calling Gu Cunxi's cell phone over and over, she couldn't even think of how else to contact her!
Pei Yin walked around the nearby streets again and again, crying anxiously, and squatted on the side of the road...
Maybe... she went back! But if she went back... and saw that she wasn't there, she would call me... Pei Yin thought about it and decided to go back to the car to check.
She stood up, rubbed her eyes, and ran back quickly.
Seeing the car in the distance still parked there quietly without turning on the headlights... Pei Yin panted, stopped, and looked like a deflated ball, with his head hung, and the whole person became dejected!
They had just started over... You can't joke with her like that! If anything happened to Gu Cunxi, she really couldn't bear it!
Tears slid down her cheeks, dripping onto the asphalt road without a sound...
…
The woman in the flower shop wrapped the flowers. Gu Cunxi looked at them and smiled with satisfaction. She wrote the greeting card and walked out the door quickly.
The nine sunflowers in her hand were bright and vivid yellow, and she thought, Pei Pei would definitely like them!
“!”
A weak and embarrassed figure fell into Gu Cunxi's sight. She saw Pei Yin squatting in front of the car, hugging her arms tightly, with her head lowered. Her heart was suddenly pierced by a needle, and it hurt.
Gu Cunxi tightened the flowers in his hand and ran across the street.
"Pei Pei!!" She ran to Pei Yin, squatted down, raised her hand and touched her hair: "Why don't you wait for me in the car? Aren't you cold squatting here?"
“!”
A familiar voice came into her ears. Pei Yin raised her watery eyes and saw a beautiful face. Her heart went from hell to heaven again. She wanted to reach out and hug the person in front of her tightly, but the anxiety, fear, terror and worry she had just felt poured out at once when she saw Gu Cunxi. Her longing turned into anger.
Gu Cunxi noticed the change in Pei Yin's mood, and she felt nervous and anxious. She moved the hand holding the flowers away from her chest, pulled her into her arms with one hand and comforted her: "Are you waiting too long? I made you worry, I'm back, I'm here! Don't be afraid anymore, don't be afraid anymore!" She patted Pei Yin's back gently.
Pei Yin pushed her away abruptly, covering his eyes and remaining silent. The feeling of fear still lingered in his heart: "Why didn't you answer the phone?!"
Gu Cunxi's heart broke a little when she heard the choked sobs. She then remembered that she had set her phone to silent mode in the cafe so as not to be disturbed...
A feeling of guilt arose spontaneously, pulling at her nerves with dull pain. Gu Cunxi ignored Pei Yin's struggle and hugged her tightly in his arms: "I'm sorry, I forgot to turn my phone back on. I'm sorry, Pei Pei, it's all my fault. Don't cry, okay? Seeing you cry makes my heart ache!"
"I went to buy flowers! I saw a flower shop just now and wanted to buy a bunch of flowers for you. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you. Instead, you are so worried. It's all my fault!" Gu Cunxi held Pei Yin's waist tightly, and the person in his arms kept shaking his shoulders.
"hiss…"
Gu Cunxi frowned slightly as his neck felt a sharp pain. After the pain subsided, it turned into a tingling sensation...
Pei Yin was going to bite her, but he couldn't bear it, so he just bit her lightly and licked the place she bit with the tip of his tongue.
"Does it still hurt?" she asked softly in a hoarse voice.
"It hurts!" Gu Cunxi tilted his head, pursed his lips, and said in a wronged manner: "If you kiss me again, it won't hurt anymore!"
"..." Pei Yin didn't refuse. He closed his eyes and licked it lightly before pulling away. "I was so scared that I couldn't find you, that something had happened to you. You don't know anyone here, and you're not familiar with the place. You didn't even answer my calls. Do you know how worried I was?"
"I'm sorry, Pei Pei, I won't do it again!" Gu Cunxi pursed his lips tightly, like a child who had done something wrong, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at her.
…
After comforting Pei Yin, Gu Cunxi gave her the flowers, but the greeting card inside had not been found yet...
When the two returned to the coffee shop, it was almost late at night. Gu Cunxi originally planned to stay in a hotel, but Pei Yin asked her to stay in a room on the second floor of the coffee shop that she had reserved for her.
Gu Cunxi watched Pei Yin walking around the room, spread the quilt for her, and tidied the room. She felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, as if they had lived together for a long, long time. She walked up to her and hugged her from behind, resting her chin on Pei Yin's shoulder, and whispered, "Pei Pei... I don't want to be here alone! Can you stay with me?"
When Xiao Peiyin was hugged around the waist, her hands paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and smiled. She hadn't planned to leave... She couldn't bear to leave Gu Cunxi here alone...
"Mr. Gu, do you want me to stay with you overnight?" Pei Yin joked with a meaningful smile on his face.
"..." Gu Cunxi was slightly startled, and his cheeks turned a little red.
When Pei Yin said the word "stay overnight", some embarrassing images suddenly appeared in her mind...
Fortunately, Pei Pei couldn't see what she was thinking at the moment...
"Is it okay?" The hand on her waist tightened a little, and Gu Cunxi leaned over to her ear and asked softly, his voice a little hoarse.
Pei Yin didn't say anything, letting Gu Cunxi hold her, and nodded.
"I'm not going to leave, silly. I'm worried about leaving you here alone! I'll call home later and stay with you!" Pei Yin turned his head and met a pair of burning eyes. His throat couldn't help but move slightly.
"!!" Gu Cunxi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his heart was beating violently.
…
While Gu Cunxi was taking a shower, Pei Yin took out the bouquet of flowers and found a beautiful vase to put in the coffee shop.
“!”
A card fell out from inside. Pei Yin bent down to pick it up. It was a greeting card.
[You are the sunshine, I will follow you until death!]
The sunflower in her hand seemed to be smiling at her...
After four years of chaotic life, the happiness at this moment seemed unreal. Pei Yin shook his head violently, clearing his mind of thoughts.
This time is different! Cunxi has come back to find her, and legally, they are related!
…
Nine sunflowers were divided into three vases and Pei Yin placed them by the window.
The person upstairs hasn't made any movement yet, and has been washing for a long time...
Pei Yin checked the time and picked up the phone to call home. She had been arguing with her family for a long time because of the divorce. In the past two years, she hardly went home. She only bought some gifts and sent them back during the holidays, and sent some money back from time to time.
It wasn't until the past two years, thanks to her father's mediation, that the relationship between mother and daughter began to improve...
…
The person who answered the phone was Fang Lan. When she heard that Pei Yin was not going home at night, she did not say much and just hung up the phone. She could not help but wonder
"Do you think my daughter is making friends outside?" Fang Lan walked around the room with her cell phone.
Xiao Ping sat on the sofa, watching a movie about the Anti-Japanese War on TV with great interest.
"My daughter is grown up now, let her be! As long as she is happy!" Xiao Ping had no objection to this, responded lightly, and continued watching TV.
"She insisted on getting a divorce! She will have to find someone else in the future. I think she won't be able to find someone as rich and powerful as Chen Feng..." Fang Lan said angrily while sitting aside.
"..." Xiao Ping was too lazy to respond to such a question and pretended not to hear it.
"A woman of this age, if she gets divorced, she can only find a second marriage. What if the other party has a child and has to be a stepmother? If you hadn't supported her and let her do whatever she wanted, she wouldn't be in this situation now!" Fang Lan became more and more angry as she thought about it, and her words were full of complaints.
"It's our daughter's life. What's wrong with ending her unhappy days? You just want to save face!" Xiao Ping turned off the TV and sighed, "Chen Feng is rich and powerful, but what good is that? If he really treated our daughter well, she wouldn't have been so desperate to commit suicide!"
When Xiao Ping mentioned this, he felt a wave of fear in his heart. He still didn't know why his daughter committed suicide. No matter how he asked in the past few years, Pei Yin just wouldn't tell him...
"You..." Fang Lan opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. After thinking for a while, she said, "Forget it... I don't expect her to find someone better than Chen Feng. I just want her to find a man to live a down-to-earth life with..."
“…”
Xiao Ping ignored Fang Lan's words and walked back to the bedroom with his hands behind his back...
