Seeing that Cheng Qicai didn't seem to care about what he said, he didn't offer any further explanation.
Anyway, Cheng Qicai can only talk a big game with him; what she says is unlikely to come true.
There's no need to argue with her about those things.
Cheng Qicai was unaware of his thoughts. She hesitated and looked at him, saying, "By the way, I'm going home with you tomorrow."
"Go home?" Gu Rongqi paused, worry appearing in his eyes.
"Well, I didn't explain much just now. I'll explain properly when I get home tomorrow... After all, they're still a little angry because I didn't tell them I have a boyfriend." Cheng Qicai said optimistically, "Don't worry! I'll make it clear to them."
“…Um.” Gu Rong paused for a moment. “I’m sorry, I didn’t keep an eye on the golden beans at the time.”
"It's nothing." Golden Bean is a boisterous dog by nature, so it's impossible for him to stay completely silent in the room.
It's safe to say that Ms. Yun and the others were bound to find out sooner or later; they just knew a little earlier than expected.
Whether you stick your neck out early or late, you'll get cut.
Cheng Qicai felt that things were fine as they were.
Seeing that Gu Rongqi wasn't very interested, she became curious about what had happened when Gu Rongqi was alone with Ms. Yun and the others earlier. "By the way, what did you and your parents talk about in the living room just now?"
"It's nothing, they just asked how long we've been dating and why I'm dating you, and other similar questions."
"Then why did you talk to me?" Cheng Qicai also wanted to know the answer to this question.
"There's no reason why, I just really like you and want to live like this with you forever."
When Gu Rongqi mentioned living together, Cheng Qicai gently leaned on his shoulder without saying a word.
She didn't let herself see the deep affection in his eyes, nor did she let him see the loneliness in hers.
Gu Rongqi was like that, speaking touching words in a calm tone, yet never making her doubt the sincerity behind his words.
He was like a cup of lukewarm water, something she could hold in her hand without burning her or freezing her hands.
I treated her with the utmost gentleness.
But even on such wonderful days, she would occasionally feel a sense of unease.
Sometimes she feels that her current life is like a frog being slowly boiled in water, and she is the frog in the pot.
Even knowing the outcome might not be good, she became increasingly addicted to the joyful days.
After her rational decision to indulge, how can you say that she and Gu Rongqi have nothing in common?
Gu Rongqi felt the weight on his shoulder and slowly hugged Cheng Qicai. He could sense the pessimism emanating from her.
A deep, lingering pain welled up in his heart.
He could sense her complacent attitude during their time together.
He can use any means to make people submit, but he cannot control what others think.
This is also a guilt he has never been able to express... Such an emotion is quite unfamiliar to him in his life.
No one has ever made her feel so sorry for and love them so much.
The two embraced each other, each with their own thoughts, like two young animals huddling together for warmth in the dead of winter.
In the silent space, Cheng Qicai inexplicably felt a sadness surrounding the two of them.
She thought, it's not the end of the world, there's no need to be so sad.
She gently patted Gu Rongqi's back. "It's getting late. Are you going back?"
Gu Rongqi was silent for a while, looking into her amber eyes. He felt a little uneasy, but he still wanted to get more warmth from Cheng Qicai. "Can I stay?"
He thought that he was the one who needed more reassurance.
"Huh? What about the golden beans?"
Cheng Qicai looked at the golden bean munching on the little lamb toy, a toy that Cheng Qicai had specially found for it so it wouldn't get bored.
"I'll find someone to pick it up."
"But I don't have any of your pajamas here," Cheng Qicai said, her expression turning playful as if she had just remembered something. "Or do you want to wear that floral dress I gave you before?"
She had given Ms. Yun's dress to Gu Rongqi to wear, and since she didn't want to take it back to Ms. Yun, she bought her a similar one online.
As for the one Gu Rongqi wore, she washed it and put it at the bottom of the wardrobe.
"..." Gu Rongqi obviously recalled himself at that time, his expression changed slightly, and he sighed, "I'll go back and get it."
"ah?"
Cheng Qicai was stunned by these words. She was actually quite happy to see Gu Rongqi's expression change.
But seeing Gu Rongqi's serious expression, Cheng Qicai realized he wasn't joking. "That would be too much trouble. We're already home, why come back?"
"Never mind." After thinking it over, Gu Rongqi gave up his insistence.
He was quite quick to compose himself.
He hugged and kissed her a few times, then called Golden Bean over, put its leash on, and said, "Then I'll head back now."
After seeing Gu Rongqi off, Cheng Qicai felt a little melancholy thinking about having to go back tomorrow.
Although she had a good conversation with Gu Rongqi just now, she was actually unsure of herself.
I wonder how strong Ms. Yun's attitude will be tomorrow...
Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Cheng Qicai got up early the next day. When she arrived home, Ms. Yun was quite surprised to see her return at that time.
"Mom..." Cheng Qicai smiled sweetly at her and affectionately took her hand.
She was trying to please her now so that she would be less harsh with her later.
Then she gave Mr. Cheng, who was sitting on the sofa, a wink, hoping he would help her later.
But Mr. Cheng completely ignored it this time.
Cheng Qicai's heart skipped a beat; it seemed that Mr. Cheng wasn't on her side either.
