Chapter 43 Surprise
The next day, when Liu Yiner suggested staying in the restaurant temporarily, Gu Wan did not try to persuade her to stay. If you are mine, there is no need to rush. It doesn't matter how long the process is, as long as I can be with you in the end.
However, she was determined to be a good husband and was not idle. After finishing the classes at the academy every day, Gu Wan did not go home immediately, but went straight to Hu's Restaurant. As time went by, everyone knew that this beautiful female accountant had a husband who was a teacher in the academy.
Today was no different from any other day, but Liu Yin'er felt a little distracted. It turned out that Gu Wan, who was supposed to report on time regardless of rain or shine, did not show up. When she returned to her room late at night, she touched her waist as usual.
It was a very finely polished seal, and the rounded corners easily revealed the traces of its owner's frequent playing with it. However, the simple four words "Liu Yin'er Seal" on it made her unable to stop looking at them.
This was carved by her husband himself. Liu Yin'er rubbed the seal in her hand in a daze, her mind racing with thoughts about Gu Wan's absence today. Had he forgotten, or... would he come tomorrow? Alas, what is love in this world?
As for Gu Wan, she certainly didn't forget, but she had more important things to do right now. She learned from Liu Yang early this morning that Liu Yiner's eighteenth birthday would be in three days. The problem that had been bothering her and even caused countless misunderstandings was finally going to be solved, which forced her to be cautious.
As a modern girl, and knowing very well how concerned ancient women were about this matter, and having no practical experience herself, all Gu Wan could think of was to ask for help from Li Yuan and his wife.
That night, after Gu Wan expressed his desire to prepare a birthday present for his wife, he hesitated to speak under the gaze of Li Yuan and his wife.
"Brother Gu, don't worry. I will definitely help you with this matter. Judging from your expression, is there anything else that is difficult to deal with?" Li Yuan looked at Gu Wan who looked hesitant and couldn't help asking.
Gu Wan hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and then turned to Hu Ziyan and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something else to say to Brother Li alone. Can you step aside for a moment?"
Li Yuan didn't say anything after hearing this. Hu Ziyan glanced at the two of them, responded to Gu Wan, then stood up and left.
After Hu Ziyan left, Gu Wan finally mustered up the courage to say, "To be honest, I have some doubts about that and I need Brother Li's guidance."
Li Yuan's mind was full of question marks. Why didn't she understand? "Brother Gu, what do you mean? Which aspect do you mean?"
Gu Wan couldn't help but blush. Is it really okay to discuss this with someone who looks pure? "Brother Li, actually... it's just that... my wife and I haven't slept together yet. I heard that it would be very painful for a woman the first time, so... so..."
Gu Wan talked for a long time but still didn't understand. Li Yuan finally understood, but she was also confused. She opened and closed her lips several times, lowered her head, and said in a barely audible voice, "Brother Gu, I don't quite understand these either. You should ask Zi Yan for advice."
Gu Wan was stunned. What did this mean? Had she misunderstood all along? Was Li Yuan not a husband but a wife? A moment of awkwardness washed over them both. Should they ask Hu Ziyan? She was so ashamed she couldn't face anyone. After a moment's reflection, Gu Wan returned with regret. She'd just have to rely on her own care and consideration.
For several days, Gu Wan had not appeared at the Hu's Restaurant. Today was Liu Yiner's birthday, and she wanted to go home and spend it with her father, but secretly she wanted to be with Gu Wan more. It would be nice if they could go back together, but Gu Wan had to teach tomorrow, so she had to go back alone. Although she had made such a plan, for some reason, she still stayed in the restaurant for the whole day.
It was getting dark, and it would be too late if she didn't go back to Liujia Village. Looking at the schoolchildren going home in groups of three or four on the road, her expression darkened, and she returned alone to the room prepared for her in the restaurant.
The setting sun took away its last trace of shadow, the sky darkened, and the streets were somewhat empty in winter, but Liu Yiner in the restaurant received some bad news.
"Sister Yin'er, please come with me to take a look. Brother Gu has been suffering from a cold for a while. I have been hiding it from you so as not to worry you. His condition has become more serious in the past few days. My husband doesn't know how to take care of people, so you should go back and take care of him." Hu Ziyan looked anxious and hurriedly pulled Liu Yin'er's hand and got on the carriage.
Looking at Liu Yiner who looked nervous and worried, Hu Ziyan praised her acting skills in her heart. It turned out that she still had to rely on her, otherwise her stupid husband would definitely mess things up.
Liu Yin'er was so anxious that she couldn't speak all the way. Her lips trembled uncontrollably and her mind was buzzing with thoughts and she couldn't find a quiet place. When the carriage stopped, she jumped out of the carriage in a panic without waiting for Hu Ziyan to call her. She had never done this before and her feet almost fell. She stood up with her hands. Without even wiping the dirt off her hands, she ran to the yard.
Her heart was rumbling, "Awan, I'm back, Awan, don't be in trouble, Awan...husband..." her heart kept calling out, but she couldn't utter a word. She ignored the flower-shaped lanterns on both sides of the yard, and didn't bother to say hello to Li Yuan who was standing in the yard. She ran to the door in one breath and pushed it open without taking a breath. "Husband"
Gu Wan turned around unexpectedly after hearing an urgent call. After seeing who was coming, she happily ran to the door and took the person's hand. "Yin'er, you are here. Come and see if you like it."
Liu Yiner saw Gu Wan turn sideways, and the lights on the table formed the words "Happy Birthday, Madam". Her brain was confused for a moment. She looked at her energetic husband, her teeth chattering several times. "You didn't... Are you feeling well?"
Gu Wan looked at the young lady who had not yet come to her senses and laughed heartily, "Yin'er, we lied to you. Look, isn't it beautiful? Are you surprised?" But before she finished laughing, she saw her wife suddenly burst into tears.
"You are annoying." Liu Yiner finally reacted. She pushed him away suddenly, tears pouring down her face. She turned around and ran back crying, ignoring the astonishment of the people in front of her.
Gu Wan's mind was empty for a few seconds. Seeing Liu Yin'er about to run out of the courtyard, she immediately gave up thinking, strode after her, and hugged the person who wanted to leave tightly outside the door. "Yin'er, don't move, let's go back to the room and talk."
Her feet were lifted off the ground, and her body was lifted up horizontally by someone. Liu Yiner wanted to struggle but was afraid of hurting the person. When she returned to the room, as soon as her feet touched the ground, she broke free from Gu Wan's arms. "Why don't you get sick? Why don't you die? You...you..."
"Yin'er! Do you want me to die?" What was her little wife saying? What happened? How much did she hate her to say such a thing?
Liu Yiner's breath got stuck in her throat and her face turned red. "You...you idiot, idiot, who asked you...just shut up and ignore me."
But Gu Wan didn't want to remain silent at this time, "Yin'er, I... I just want to give you a surprise, please don't be angry, okay?" She realized belatedly why her wife was angry, and her voice couldn't help but weakened a bit. She looked at the person who was still sobbing with a little touching.
Gu Wanqian gently hugged the person in his arms and said, "Yin'er, I was wrong. I was not thoughtful enough and made you worry. Stop crying, I feel bad."
"You are wrong." Liu Yiner slowly stopped crying and leaned in Gu Wan's arms, not wanting to pay attention to her. This person is always so annoying. Is this kind of thing something that can be joked about? God knows how scary her almost desperate worries along the way were.
"No, no, I just want you to come back. If you don't leave in the future, I won't do this again," Gu Wan said, raising his eyebrows deliberately.
"What did you say? There will be a next time? Then just stay sick, I won't come back." The words were spoken in a temper, but the actions of her hands were very honest. Liu Yiner hugged Gu Wan tightly as if she was afraid of losing him.
The person in his arms is so beautiful. Gu Wan silently wiped away the tears that secretly overflowed from the corners of his eyes. Many beautiful things he encountered in past and present lives cannot compare to the person in front of him at this moment.
"Awan, please don't lie to me like this in the future, okay? I'm scared." Liu Yiner's voice sounded muffled, like a bird that has not recovered from being frightened, still with her head firmly resting on Gu Wan's shoulder and refusing to lift it up.
Gu Wan didn't say anything, but tightened her arms a little. After a long while, she felt that the person in her arms had calmed down a little, then she loosened her arms and walked to the yard with her hand in hand. "Yin'er, I haven't looked for you these days because I was preparing these for you. Do you like them?"
"Don't be like this in the future, I just want you to be fine..." Liu Yin'er said with a sour nose again. This guy is so bad, he always makes her cry.
