Lu Huan rolled over, wrapped her arms around the man's waist, yawned sleepily, and said perfunctorily, "Of course I'm worried! You're my husband. If you die, I'll be a widow!"
The term "widowhood" sounded new to Gu Zhendong.
This isn't a feudal society anymore; many women marry two or three times, so how could they possibly remain widows?
Gu Zhendong felt a little uneasy. It turned out that after she married him, she wasn't as happy as she seemed on the surface; she also had worries.
Of course, these are all assumptions.
He wanted to ask, what if he really died? Would she really...? Never mind, that question was meaningless to him now.
Swallowing back the words that were about to come out, Gu Zhendong hugged her and said, "Go to sleep!"
Finally, I can get some sleep!
Gu Zhendong agreed to go to the hospital for a full check-up with Lu Huan. Early on the weekend morning, Lu Huan set several alarms.
As soon as the alarm rang, she immediately grabbed the man's arm and pulled him out of bed.
Gu Zhendong didn't have the habit of sleeping in; he just liked spending more time with Lu Huan.
He wrapped one arm around Lu Huan's waist and pulled her into his embrace. "Give me a kiss, and I'll get up!"
The man was heavy, and Lu Huan couldn't pull him away. She was forced to kiss his cheek, her cheeks puffed out in anger. "Get up!"
Gu Zhendong was extremely dissatisfied with her light, fleeting kiss, so he grabbed the woman's waist and demanded more of her.
Lu Huan really wondered how Gu Zhendong had managed to survive the previous decades!
Gu Zhendong exuded a dangerous aura early in the morning, and Lu Huan kept her distance from him, maintaining what she considered a safe distance.
Gu Zhendong has been in pretty good shape lately. Even when he has a headache, it doesn't last long. The most important reason for this is that Lu Huan is there for him.
It's quite amazing that even Gu Zhendong's attending physician, Zhang Wen, didn't believe in such supernatural claims.
However, during this period, Gu Zhendong has indeed rarely fallen ill, and his complexion even looks much better than before, making him seem like a completely different person from the Gu Zhendong of the past.
Over time, Zhang Wen gradually came to believe Gu Zhendong's explanation.
Modern medicine is already very advanced, and even Gu Zhendong's strange illness is beyond cure, yet such an unbelievable thing still happens.
Zhang Wen was extremely curious about Lu Huan and eager to know what kind of amazing person he was.
Upon learning that Gu Zhendong was coming to the hospital for a check-up, Zhang Wen made a special trip to the hospital early in the morning.
Upon seeing Lu Huan, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that Gu Zhendong had excellent taste, having married such a beautiful wife.
Gu Zhendong introduced Lu Huan: "He is my attending physician, Zhang Wen."
Lu Huan quickly extended her hand to greet the other person respectfully, "Hello, Dr. Zhang!"
The little girl is not only beautiful, but also has a good temper. Most importantly, her voice is clear and pleasant to listen to.
But apart from that, he didn't have any other feelings.
Zhang Wen became increasingly curious as to why only Lu Huan's voice could cure Gu Zhendong's headache.
A full body checkup requires many tests.
Gu Zhendong went to get a checkup, while Zhang Wen chatted with Lu Huan.
The two talked about Gu Zhendong's illness. When Zhang Wen said that Gu Zhendong had almost died several times before, Lu Huan listened with heartache, her delicate eyebrows furrowing.
If Gu Zhendong were here, he would definitely shut Zhang Wen up. What's the point of bringing up the past? It's all in the past.
Zhang Wen couldn't bear to see the young girl worrying, so he smiled gently and said, "But he's been doing very well lately, there's nothing seriously wrong, so you don't need to worry too much."
Lu Huan was no stranger; she was an outsider who knew perfectly well what Gu Zhendong's fate would be.
What she was most worried about was whether Gu Zhendong would follow the ending in the book and meet his end. Lu Huan clenched her fists, feeling extremely sad. "He's in good condition now. Could it be a last gasp before death?"
Zhang Wen: ...
Gu Zhendong, who had just pushed the door open and walked in: ...
Hearing the noise, Lu Huan turned around and looked at Gu Zhendong, who was looking exasperated. She laughed awkwardly, "Haha, I was just saying it offhand, don't take it to heart."
Gu Zhendong walked over in a few steps. "Did your Chinese teacher teach you math? You're using the idiom 'a flash of light before death' so casually?"
Lu Huan lowered her head, too guilty to speak.
She was just guessing casually, little did she know that Gu Zhendong would walk in right then and there!
What kind of mouth does she have?!
Lu Huan was so annoyed that she wanted to slap herself.
Fortunately, Zhang Wen was there. He was at least a half-elder of Gu Zhendong. "Alright, do you really just want to make your wife cry?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhendong glanced at Lu Huan, whose face showed a wronged expression.
She even felt wronged!
The full body checkup is complete, but the results will take a few more days to come out.
Gu Zhendong led Lu Huan into the car. The man's eyes were sullen, and he seemed to still be angry.
She tugged at the man's sleeve and said pitifully, "I was just saying it offhand, don't take it to heart!"
Gu Zhendong was genuinely amused and exasperated. "You think I'm having a sudden burst of energy just because I haven't dealt with you these past two days?"
Lu Huan: ...Boss, could you please not start with something risqué right away? She's still just a kid.
Lu Huan leaned over and hugged the man's waist, whispering, "Honey, I was wrong!"
Unfortunately, Gu Zhendong wasn't buying it. "I'll show you tonight if I'm having a final burst of energy before death."
"..."
Thinking about how Gu Zhendong had almost killed her, was it too late for her to jump out of the car now?
That night, Lu Huan naturally paid a heavy price for his words.
It's not just the physical cost, but also the mental one.
Gu Zhendong, that heartless bastard, actually made her copy the idiom "a final burst of energy before death" a hundred times.
After finishing elementary school, she was never punished by her teacher to copy texts again. She never expected that one day she would fall into Gu Zhendong's hands.
Gu Zhendong placed the paper and pen on the table in front of her. "Write!"
"husband……"
Gu Zhendong took off his watch. "It's 7:30 now. I'll let you go as long as you finish copying!"
"What?" Lu Huan was dumbfounded. The man smiled and said, "Otherwise, how could I make you sure that I'm not just having a final burst of energy before death?"
"Husband, I was really wrong!" Lu Huan cried, inwardly cursing Gu Zhendong as a heartless and insane man.
Gu Zhendong said, "You can take your time writing. I have plenty of energy. I just don't know if your little back can handle it!"
Lu Huan: ...
Lu Huan didn't want to write at all, but for the sake of her own life, she forced herself to pick up the pen.
Write it!
Lu Huan had just written a few words when Gu Zhendong snatched the paper from her hand. "Are you sure you're not just scribbling nonsense?"
The handwriting was so illegible that it was impossible to read what the characters were.
Lu Huan snatched it away, "My handwriting is like this, you..."
She was punished by copying texts, but instead of complaining about her handwriting, she was made to copy them!
Gu Zhendong raised his chin slightly. "You should understand the outcome of anything I'm not satisfied with."
Lu Huan: ...
No, she didn't want to understand at all!
If you really want to copy it carefully, even a hundred repetitions won't take long.
Gu Zhendong couldn't bear to see Lu Huan suffer, but he also hoped she would learn a lesson.
The matter of being punished with copying was put behind us, but what followed was not so easy to let bygones be bygones.
Over the next two days, Gu Zhendong showed her what it meant to be full of energy.
He was so unrestrained in his actions. If she didn't live in a technologically advanced era, she would have thought that Gu Zhendong was a male demon who specifically drained women's life force.
These next few days, I'm going to squeeze her dry!
She must have been out of her mind to think that Gu Zhendong was just having a final burst of energy before death.
Lu Huan was exhausted and would rather lie down than sit. There was nothing she could do; she had been exercising too much at night.
However, there is always a time when hardship ends and happiness begins.
One day after work, Gu Zhendong said, "There's something going on in Europe that I need to go there for about ten days."
Lu Huan looked up at him blankly, "Huh?"
Gu Zhendong is going on a business trip, which is a godsend for Lu Huan.
A huge surprise hit her hard, and it took Lu Huan a while to react. "Honey, are you really going on a business trip?"
The young woman's eyes lit up; she couldn't wait for him to go on his business trip.
Gu Zhendong smiled and said, "Looks like you're happy that I'm on a business trip?"
She was more than happy; she wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate!
Meeting Gu Zhendong's dangerous gaze, Lu Huan suppressed her inner thoughts, lowered the corners of her mouth, and tried her best to put on a sad and reluctant expression, "No way, just thinking about not seeing you for several days makes me want to cry!"
For seven whole days, she could have ten days without having to face Gu Zhendong again. It was so great!
Even if she doesn't set off firecrackers, she still wants to drag Yan Shi and the others out for hot pot to celebrate!
When it comes to crying, Lu Huan can cry in a flash. Her eyes will be red in two or three seconds, and her voice will be slightly choked with sobs. If Gu Zhendong hadn't seen her true skills before, he probably would have been fooled by Lu Huan.
"Yeah?"
Her lips were practically curled up in a happy smile, and Gu Zhendong simply couldn't be bothered to call her out on it.
Lu Huan nodded repeatedly, "Really, honey, I really can't bear to part with you!"
That sounds incredibly hypocritical!
Gu Zhendong stroked the woman's waist, "I can't bear to part with you either!"
Lu Huan raised her watery eyes and blurted out cheesy words, "Waaah, I really don't want to be separated from you at all... I can't sleep at night without you by my side. Honey, why don't you just pack me up in your suitcase and take me with you!"
Lu Huan had voiced many female leads in romance dramas before, and these lines were basically copied verbatim. Lu Huan herself couldn't stand listening to herself saying them; they were so cheesy they gave her goosebumps.
On the surface, she appeared heartbroken and reluctant to part with Gu Zhendong, but in reality, she was overjoyed and had already planned what to do during the ten days Gu Zhendong was away.
Gu Zhendong twitched his lips after hearing her cheesy words, "I think you're right, why don't we just take you on the business trip too!"
"Waaaaah, honey..."
Huh?
Wait, something's not right!
Lu Huan thought Gu Zhendong would say something cheesy like "I'll miss you too," but when she heard him say he was going to take her on a business trip, she suddenly realized what he meant and looked up at him in surprise, "Honey, what did you say?"
Why is Gu Zhendong not playing by the rules?
"You're taking me on a business trip? That might not be a good idea, right?"
Gu Zhendong: He knew that what she said just now wasn't what she truly felt!
"What's wrong with it? Aren't you reluctant to part with me?"
"I'm reluctant to part with you, but..."
