Looking at the airport outside the small window, Zhou Chunhua felt it was ironic.
Married to Liao Nanxing for over twenty years, Liao Nanxing not only frequently travels all over the country himself, but he also takes Su Mu with him everywhere. He even took his parents on a plane when they went back to their hometown that year.
She was the only one who didn't!
Once again, she berated herself for being young and naive, not knowing how to make money, and for mistaking love for something precious.
Fortunately, she finally understood that she should not wallow in self-pity in any relationship, nor should she willingly question others about why.
In this world, it's never true that the better you treat someone, the more they will cherish you; reality is often the opposite.
Don't overestimate your importance in anyone's eyes. In the end, you may be nothing at all.
Seriously, no one's success is as good as your own, and no one's possessions are as valuable as your own. True excellence lies in being excellent yourself. Eating your own food and spending your own money brings peace of mind, while asking anyone for money feels uneasy.
Only by treating yourself well can you truly experience the beauty and joy of life!
It's laughable that it took me over twenty years to understand these principles.
Lost in thought, Gu Yao suddenly leaned over.
Zhou Chunhua was startled, her back stiffening as she leaned against the backrest. A faint scent of sandalwood wafted towards her.
"What are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought. The plane is about to take off. Fasten your seatbelt."
Gu Yao fastened her seatbelt and turned around to sit down.
"Thank you," she said softly.
It wasn't just about thanking Gu Yao for fastening her seatbelt; it was also about thanking him for saving her self-esteem.
As the plane accelerated, she began to feel a buzzing in her ears, as if water had entered them. Even as the plane rapidly ascended after leaving the ground, it felt as if someone was pressing down on her eardrums with their fingers.
I can't hear the sounds around me, and the pain is getting worse.
Just as she was gritting her teeth and enduring it, a piece of chewing gum was stuffed into her mouth.
Turning to look at Gu Yao, Gu Yao popped a piece into his own mouth and started chewing.
She unconsciously imitated Gu Yao and started chewing her gum as well.
After opening my mouth several times, the discomfort in my ears actually disappeared.
The surrounding sounds were also clearly audible.
The plane also stabilized.
Just as she was feeling so embarrassed that her face flushed, she heard Gu Yao say, "I'm the same as you, my ears hurt every time I fly."
"Thanks."
"It's just a piece of chewing gum, nothing to thank me for. You've had a tough time these past few days, take this opportunity to close your eyes and get some sleep. Once you're settled, you'll be busy again."
As Gu Yao spoke, he leaned over again and, with a click, unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Okay, sure."
Perhaps she was just too tired these past few days, or perhaps it was her first time flying and she felt unwell. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she had been asleep. When she groggily woke up, she was covered with a blanket. Gu Yao must have covered her with it.
Gu Yao was actually leaning on her shoulder, fast asleep.
This was the first time she had seen Gu Yao so closely.
It must be said that Gu Yao's flawless face is definitely one of the most outstanding creations of the Goddess Nuwa.
Perhaps because she had been sitting in one position for too long, her lower back was slightly sore.
But after glancing at Gu Yao, she chose to ignore the discomfort in her lower back, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Gu Yao was scrolling through his phone, engrossed in something, no one knew what.
"Awake?" Gu Yao didn't even look up.
"Mmm," she replied.
"Do you need to go to the restroom? We'll be there soon."
She quickly shook her head: "No, no need."
Just as Gu Yao had said, the plane landed smoothly in no time.
To her surprise, someone actually came to pick her up from the airport.
Gu Yao hugged and greeted the man who came to pick him up at the airport. The two looked like brothers who were saying goodbye forever.
Gu Yao introduced her in fluent English, and the man also extended his hand to her in a gentlemanly manner, and introduced himself.
She could roughly make out that the man's name was Andrei.
Just as she was about to politely extend her hand to shake hands with Andrei, Gu Yao suddenly pulled her hand back halfway through.
Andrei suddenly grinned and pulled Gu Yao ahead.
The two kept whispering to each other, and with her broken English, even if you could occasionally hear some words, you still couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Later, Andrei drove them to the hotel.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Andrei asked her and Gu Yao to sit on the sofa in the lobby and wait for him to check them in.
After a while, Andrei came over with droopy eyes and said to her in broken Chinese, "I'm so sorry, there's only one room left, you'll just have to make do."
Gu Yao looked at her: "How about... we go to another one?"
Before she could speak, Andrei said, "There's no room for change; all the nearby hotels are full."
Gu Yao looked at her with a troubled expression, and she had no choice but to nod: "How about... we just make do with this for now? Anyway, we have to rush back after we see the person."
Then, she and Gu Yao squeezed into one room.
But no one expected that this only room would actually be a double room!
When Gu Yao saw the only bed, his expression wasn't much better than hers.
"No, it's okay. I'll sleep on the floor," Zhou Chunhua quickly replied.
"You sleep in the bed," Gu Yao said, taking off his coat and tossing it on the chair.
Then, unbuttoning his shirt, he walked into the bathroom.
As luck would have it, she caught a glimpse of Gu Yao's open chest.
It's worth mentioning that at an age when everyone is busy gaining weight, Gu Yao doesn't have an ounce of extra fat.
The muscles are clearly defined, showing no signs of aging whatsoever.
Just as Zhou Chunhua was lost in thought, Gu Yao smiled and went into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
We can't rush things, we can't scare her away.
However, we should give Andrei credit for his contribution later.
...
That evening, Gu Yao brought her to the hospital, where she met Zhang Xiaonuan and Zhang Lulu.
"You saved me?" Zhang Xiaonuan looked very angry.
Zhang Lulu, who looked to be five or six years old, immediately hugged her doll and shrank into a corner after hearing Zhang Xiaonuan's voice.
Gu Yao raised an eyebrow and said, "Zhang Bo saved you."
"Who told you to meddle!" Zhang Xiaonuan roared, "I was already on the verge of death, why did you have to come and save me!"
Gu Yao didn't reply. Instead, he pulled up a chair, sat down, and stared straight at Zhang Xiaonuan, yelling and even swearing.
Zhou Chunhua couldn't stand it anymore, so she went up and covered Zhang Lulu's ears, then handed Zhang Lulu to Gu Yao.
"You stay at the door with the child, and I'll talk to her."
Gu Yao held the child and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"It's alright! You can't reason with someone like her. I'll handle it; I'm good at it." With that, she pulled Gu Yao up and pushed him out of the ward.
