Chapter 2391 Test
"When did you come?" Lin Ke stared into his eyes, her voice tense.
"I just came up," Gu Changhai said, calmly approaching Wanqing's tombstone. "I wanted to come visit your sister tomorrow, but the old lady was worried about you being alone in the mountains, so she asked me to come pick you up."
Her eyes relaxed, as if the danger had been eliminated. She looked away and said, "What could happen in broad daylight? My mother is just worrying about nothing."
Gu Changhai silently came to the tombstone and looked at Wanqing's photo on the tombstone.
Even though my eyes were fixed on the front, I seemed to see nothing and my mind was in a state of confusion.
The sadness or emotion that I had thought would appear, at this moment, are only left with a bunch of questions.
Lin Ke had automatically retreated two meters behind him, as if she was very reluctant to stand in front of the tombstone with him.
Do you feel sorry for your sister?
Gu Changhai really wanted to ask this.
But he held back, once again.
He closed his eyes and said to Lin Ke, "It's almost noon, let's go eat."
"Why don't you say a few words to my sister?"
"I'll come see her again tomorrow and we'll talk then."
As Gu Changhai spoke, he walked along the path on the top of the mountain towards the Taoist temple.
After walking two steps, he saw that Lin Ke hadn't caught up with him, so he turned around and asked her, "Don't you want to eat?"
She stared at him blankly, as if exploring, and after two seconds, she said, "The food in the Taoist temple is all vegetarian. Are you used to it?"
"What's there to be unaccustomed to?" Gu Changhai said absentmindedly, continuing to walk forward, but in his heart he was thinking about how to bring up this topic, where to start asking...
Lin Ke followed and said, "I remember my brother-in-law used to be a carnivore."
She was in the mood to tease him now.
"I now eat both meat and vegetables."
"That's right, my brother-in-law is old now. He should pay attention to his diet and be careful about the three highs."
Gu Changhai felt inexplicably unhappy and frowned as he looked at Lin Ke beside him, "Go ahead."
Lin Ke smiled and walked in front of him, still with a teasing look in her eyes.
In fact, when she was a little girl, she liked to argue with him and make fun of him.
When they meet, they rarely communicate in a friendly manner, just like a brother and sister who often quarrel. It is unexpected that after not seeing each other for so many years, they are still the same.
If I hadn't looked at her red eyes, I would have almost forgotten what kind of emotion she was in just now.
If his guess was true, did Lin Ke have been pretending in front of him all these years?
How could she be so relaxed and natural, how could she hide her emotions so perfectly...
Thinking of that night, thinking of Shaohua's life experience, and looking at Lin Ke who was walking in front of him as if nothing had happened, Gu Changhai still found it incredible and hard to believe.
But everything has a process of acceptance. I never thought about it that way before, but now I do. When I look at the woman walking in front of me, I have a different perspective and feeling.
He may not understand Lin Ke.
After walking a little further, Gu Changhai said, "I heard from the old lady that Shaohua's father is not Lu Rong."
Lin Ke stumbled.
Gu Changhai reached out to support her, but she quickly stood up, so Gu Changhai withdrew his hand.
"Be careful and watch the road."
She nodded and smiled: "The old lady really trusts you and tells you everything."
"Who is Shaohua's biological father?"
She turned back to look at him, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "I don't remember my brother-in-law being so fond of gossiping about other people's privacy."
"Does he have a special identity? Why can't you tell me?"
"There's no result. What's the point of saying it? It will only cause more trouble."
"Could it be a criminal? Can't be seen in public?"
She suddenly laughed, "Am I so unreliable in my brother-in-law's eyes? Would I provoke that kind of person?"
"What's the reason why it can't be made public?" Gu Changhai stared at her profile, not missing a single expression.
She suppressed her smile, pursed her lips, and after a moment, said to him, "Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know."
But this answer did not satisfy Gu Changhai, so he continued to ask.
"He has a family?"
Lin Ke glanced at him and smiled bitterly, "Even if he doesn't have a family, it won't work."
"Why?"
"Why else? He doesn't love me. Shaohua was just a mistake."
"Since it was a mistake, why did you give birth to Shaohua?"
"What do you think?" she suddenly asked back.
This question seemed to be directed at Gu Changhai, as if he knew it well.
After a while, he asked Lin Ke: "Do you love him very much?"
She neither admitted nor denied it, and continued to walk forward in silence.
But the answer to this question is already obvious.
Lin Ke loved that man very much, and gave birth to a child willingly, perhaps just to maintain this connection with that person.
Gu Changhai's test is not over yet, he still needs more clues.
"Did Shaohua meet her biological father later?" Gu Changhai asked.
Lin Ke didn't answer, and Gu Changhai couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you talking?"
Lin Ke glanced at him dissatisfiedly, "Can we not talk about this topic?"
"Mom is worried about you, so she asked me to talk to you," Gu Changhai paused, "I'm worried about you too."
She laughed bitterly again: "Thank you for your trouble, Brother-in-law Lao."
Gu Changhai decided not to ask these trivial questions anymore. He decided to be more direct: "Shaohua's biological father, is he..."
Is it me...
But before he could finish this sentence, Lin Ke was scratched on the shoulder by a branch that stretched out from the side.
She was pulled by a branch and stopped suddenly. Gu Changhai was walking behind her and she bumped into Gu Changhai's chest.
He subconsciously held her shoulders. Lin Ke felt like she was electrocuted and immediately broke free from his hand, then yanked her clothes off without a care in the world.
With a hissing sound, the clothes were torn.
It was a thin silk shirt. Not only was the silk untied, but there was also a big hole at the collarbone, revealing the snow-white and slightly red skin and the shoulder straps underneath.
She looked at her shirt in annoyance and covered herself with her hands.
Gu Changhai shifted his gaze away, then took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
"No need!" She said with an annoyed look on her face, and was about to return the clothes to him.
"When we get to the temple, even if you're not embarrassed, others will feel embarrassed too." After saying this, Gu Changhai walked forward. This time he walked on the side with more branches.
Lin Ke didn't ask to return his clothes, but just followed him silently.
After a while, she asked, "What did you want to say?"
Gu Changhai pondered for two seconds and said, "Nothing, just asking if Shaohua's biological father is single now."
In the end, he didn't ask. If Shaohua's biological father was him, Lin Ke might not admit it. If it wasn't him, asking such a question suddenly would be weird and embarrassing.
"I'm single." Shaohua said in a muffled voice.
"Have you ever thought of going to look for him?"
She took a deep breath and stopped. Gu Changhai also stopped and looked at her behind him.
Lin Ke stared into his eyes, and Gu Changhai's heart beat faster.
