Chapter 32 Seal
"I wonder what you have been busy with lately, Brother Gu. Do you have time to have a drink today?" Zhao Yunzhong deliberately came here to meet Gu Wan. He had a guess in his heart that he wanted to verify urgently, but it had been so long, and every invitation was turned down by Gu Wan. Could it be that he had sensed something? But it didn't seem like it.
Gu Wan smiled apologetically. At this moment, nothing was more important than her young lady. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Brother Zhao's kindness again. I've been busy lately and can't keep the appointment. I hope you can forgive me."
Zhao Yunzhong couldn't help but look choked up. He was rejected again. With great difficulty, he controlled his facial expression and said with a forced face, "No problem. When Brother Gu is done with his work, we can have a drink together. I'll be waiting for you."
Gu Wan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if she had listened to Liu Yin'er's words too much, or if she had thought too much. Zhao Yunzhong's words "I'm waiting for you" when he left always made her feel strange. Suddenly, a line of words floated through her mind: "Something has broken in."
She shook her head and stopped thinking about those trivial things. She decided to go find her young wife this week. She was really fed up with the pain of missing her, and this time she must bring her wife back.
Thinking of this, Gu Wan, as a modern person, knew that she had to prepare gifts carefully to make her wife happy. In her previous life, she didn't have any other skills. She only learned some carving techniques when she lived with her grandmother when she was young. Fortunately, some things will not be easily discarded once learned.
So during this week of anxiety and anticipation, she bought a piece of Qingtian stone for making seals. She carefully carved it in her free time every day and made a seal for Liu Yiner. She also carefully carved a tiny heart-shaped piece on the corner.
On that day, Gu Wan carefully put the seal into her arms and set out on the road to find her wife. The carriage seemed to be moving very slowly. She kept lifting the curtains, and the scenery outside the carriage receded at a speed as fast as walking. At this moment, she finally understood what it meant to be eager to go home. She wished she could grow a pair of wings. Alas, life was really slow in the past, and even carriages and horses were very slow.
In Liujia Village, Liu Yiner was vaguely expecting something, yet also mocking herself in frustration. She had been looking forward to the return of her lover, but was afraid of having to look at each other again. This inexplicable emotion that stuck to her heart and could not be wiped away was tearing at her scalp. Her heart became more and more anxious as time went by. Did the person understand the meaning of her letter? As time passed, her eyes dimmed little by little.
The expectant mood gradually became depressed after a long wait. Liu Yiner closed the door with some resentment. As expected, she still couldn't have any expectations of that person. She lay on the bed in a huff. But at this moment, there was a knock on the door. She sat up suddenly, and then paused suddenly. She carefully confirmed the sound coming from the air, and then got up to open the door.
The door opened and there was a strange silence. Gu Wan's face was about to smile. Looking at the cold face of the young lady, he was about to back down from his prepared words, but he saw the eyes of the person in front of him turn red and avoid his sight. Why hesitate at this time? He hugged the person tightly in his arms, and there seemed to be sobbing sounds in his ears.
Gu Wan quickly turned around and closed the gate, then she lifted the girl up with both arms and put her down in front of the window. She smiled and wiped the tears from Liu Yiner's face and said, "Don't cry, you see I'm back, don't cry anymore."
"What are you doing back? Who told you to come back? Why did you come back just now?" The voice was clearly blaming her, but it made Gu Wan's ears soften. Her little wife was so adorable.
"Aren't you going to make clothes for me? I don't know my own size, so I sent her here to you. Stop crying, your eyes will be swollen soon, and others will think I'm bullying you." Gu Wan hugged her in his arms distressedly, and rubbed Liu Yiner's tears with his chin. He really deserved a beating, how could he bear to make her cry again.
"Who wants to make clothes for you? You are bullying me, you are bullying me." Although Liu Yiner understood many ways of the world before and often behaved more maturely than Gu Wan, she turned into a willful and spoiled little girl at this moment. She didn't want to think, didn't want to grow up, and even wanted to climb on Gu Wan and bite her hard. Fortunately, she still had some rationality left, so she didn't do such a thing.
"Okay, I bullied you, I was wrong, just hit me a few times, stop crying, I feel bad." Although she coaxed him softly, the little girl still cried for a long time before breaking free from her arms. Only then did Liu Yin'er realize what she had done, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide herself. In the end, she threw herself on the bed in shame and anger and didn't want to get up.
Gu Wan sat by the window with amusement, looking at the shy person on the bed, and took out the seal from his arms, "Yin'er, look what I made for you. There is only one in the world. If you don't want it, I will give it to someone else."
The person on the bed was quiet for two seconds, then turned around, glared at Gu Wan coquettishly, stood up and reached out to grab the seal, then turned his back and played with the thing in his hand lovingly.
A heart that has never beaten for others is always easily moved by the person in front of it. Gu Wan looked at his wife who was still acting like a spoiled child, and it seemed as if something in his heart slowly collapsed and turned into warm water flowing gently.
It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. After lunch, Gu Wan looked at the young lady sitting at the desk still playing with the seal. She stretched out her legs and sat on the same chair with Liu Yiner from behind.
The early autumn sunshine was neither arrogant nor impatient. Gu Wan hugged the person tightly from behind. She lowered her eyes and saw the neck that tempted her appetite under the tied-up hair. She secretly looked at the young lady who was concentrating on the seal. Finally, she couldn't help but transform into a wolf and lowered her head to kiss the neck that provoked her reason.
Liu Yin'er couldn't help but shudder, but the person behind her seemed to be addicted, and then a dense kiss fell on her neck. The pores on her body seemed to be stimulated and sensitive. She shook her upper body unbearably and said, "Awan, stop it, I'm busy."
Gu Wan obediently stopped moving, pressed her cheek against the skin she had kissed, closed her eyes comfortably, and even her breathing became smoother. She really hoped that this moment would be the rest of her life.
It is said that in front of someone you hate, time will be infinitely magnified and become longer, but in front of someone you like, time will be infinitely shortened and become shorter. Gu Wan felt that he had just quietly hugged his wife and kissed her a few times, but how come it became dark? Was the time stolen by someone? It seemed that the time the two of them spent together was never enough.
At night, after a long day, Gu Wan, who was only thinking about sweet things, finally remembered the important things. "Yin'er, come back with me tomorrow."
"Oh? I wonder if my husband still cares about that Young Master Zhao?" Liu Yin'er asked deliberately raising her eyebrows. In fact, she no longer cared about this these days. No matter how many Young Master Zhaos there were, no matter what happened in the future, she would face it with Gu Wan and never separate again.
Gu Wan, who didn't know the situation at the moment, was embarrassed. How should she answer this question? What if she made the other person angry again? Would she have to go back to being alone in the empty room again?
Gu Wan's relaxed thoughts were tensely mobilized again at this moment. The correct answer was beyond doubt at this moment. So, what are you waiting for? "Yin'er, no matter what your reasons are, you are right. From now on, I will listen to you."
Liu Yiner burst out laughing. It had been such a long time since they last met, and yet his attitude had changed. "Ah Wan, you've figured it out. I'm not interfering with who you care about, but you still have to distinguish whether some people have good intentions or not."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Then come back with me tomorrow. I can't sleep well at night without you around." Gu Wan immediately took the opportunity, fearing that the young lady would not agree if he answered too late.
Liu Yiner smiled but said nothing. She knew that what she was saying now was only about the present. Life was full of variables and no one could be sure of what would happen in the future. She only wished that the people behind her would be safe and happy in this life.
On the way back to the county town, Gu Wan's mood was completely different from when she came here. She glanced at the drowsy person sitting next to her. Now she finally didn't have to stay alone in the empty room. As for the matter of Zhao Yunzhong, she would just avoid it in the future. The most important thing was that her young lady was happy. It was just a matter of losing a friend.
Yin'er, you may not know that over the years, with people coming and going around me, you are the only one I want to keep. For the rest of my life, you will be the only one I want.
Gu Wan sat there sighing alone, the beautiful life in the future gradually becoming clear in her mind, but she didn't expect that this peaceful life would be broken as soon as she returned to the academy.
"Duanru, a few days ago, your brother believed slander and died on the battlefield. After hearing this tragic news, your brother-in-law is also bedridden. Your uncle can't bear it, so he wrote a letter. It's up to you to decide whether to reply or not. However, your uncle once said that filial piety is the most important virtue."
Li Yuan looked at Gu Wan, who was immersed in the contents of the letter for a long time, and held the hand of the person beside him tightly. He glanced at Hu Ziyan soothingly and sighed, "Brother Gu, after receiving this letter at the restaurant this morning, Yan'er and I have been waiting for you here. Whether you go or stay, I will not go back. If you go back, please continue to hide it for me. Let Shangguan Qing be a deceased person. I am just Yan'er's husband now."
Li Yuan looked at the woman beside him affectionately. The hustle and bustle of the capital was too far away from her. This peaceful life was hard-earned, and she would definitely protect it well.
After Li Yuan and the other two left, Gu Wan looked at his wife who was cooking silently and asked sadly, "Isn't Yin'er curious? Doesn't Yin'er care about her husband's identity?"
Liu Yiner glanced at her and asked, "Why are you so noble? Am I not worthy of you?"

I dreamed of you last night, and you looked just like me.
You stood across the street and looked at me silently, as if many years had passed~
