Chapter 19 Chapter 19 She completely forgot she had a man...
Gou Qing turned his face slightly because she was calling him.
As the sun rose, Yan Yuehe gently tiptoed.
The hand that had just broken free from his grasp then gripped his forearm, using it for leverage to lift upwards.
The touch on his cheek was softer and wetter than he had imagined; it was gone in an instant.
Gou Qing froze on the spot, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet. He dared not move at all, and even stopped breathing.
Yan Yuehe stood happily to the side, feeling a sense of victory as if she had returned the "artificial breath-holding" she had done that day.
But more than anything, I felt nervous and excited.
For several seconds or perhaps longer, Gou Qing took a deep breath, on the verge of suffocation. Starting from the cheek that had been touched, a tingling, burning sensation spread throughout her body.
It was a kiss devoid of any passion, barely even a kiss, more like a cuddling, yet it seemed to have a hundred times the impact of a deep, passionate kiss.
“Yan Yuehe.” His gaze automatically landed on her. “How come you…” always manage to give answers he never expected.
Yan Yuehe was also a little embarrassed, and she rubbed her muddy shoes on the ground.
When she did it, she didn't think too much; she simply chose to follow her heart in the fleeting moments that crossed her mind.
"What about me?" She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the excessively bright light, using this action to conceal her nervousness.
Gou Qing stepped forward, crossing the social distance that was originally within a reasonable range, and easily blocked the ignorant sunlight.
Yan Yuehe was startled by the figure that suddenly pulled her closer. Before she could run away, her shoulder was grabbed.
Gou Qing didn't use any force; if she showed even the slightest unwillingness, she could easily break free of the hand on her shoulder.
But no, Yan Yuehe didn't.
Although she inherited Yan Min's personality, the deeper influence of Ms. He Yanli was equally profound.
Will it be a kiss?
Yan Yuehe was lost in thought, making wild guesses, and even closed her eyes at one point.
Yan Yuehe was so immersed in his scent that she almost drowned in it.
On the summit of an unnamed mountain, after witnessing the most unforgettable sunrise of his life, Gou Qing hugged her tightly and said, "You are so good to me."
He was at a loss for words, and at that moment, he suddenly understood Yan Yuehe's answer.
Only the person who receives it can understand it.
06:28.
The young couple, still somewhat reserved and unfamiliar with each other despite their new identities, began their descent down the mountain hand in hand.
It's amazing! The ground, which was damp an hour ago, has dried up after half an hour of sunshine.
In short, the mountain path is now so smooth that it won't slip no matter how you walk on it.
A thought clearly surfaced in Gou Qing's mind: it seemed there was no reason to hold hands anymore.
The two people were inexplicably more polite than before they arrived.
The strange atmosphere even caught the attention of the cafeteria staff at the base.
"Teacher Gou, did you have a fight with your student?"
Gou Qing subconsciously turned around to look at Yan Yuehe, who was following behind her. Yan Yuehe looked up blankly and asked: "Arguing? Us?"
I just don't know how to get along with them yet.
“There was no argument.” Gou Qing swiped her meal card twice. “Auntie, please take two extra vegetable buns, and the rest is the same as before.”
The aunt deftly picked up the buns and put them in a bag: "It's good that there was no quarrel. If there's something wrong, we still need to communicate. We can't not communicate."
Oh, it turns out that the auntie misunderstood because the two people had been queuing in silence for so long.
Yan Yuehe carried two cups of soy milk, while Gou Qing carried three bags of steamed buns of different flavors. They found an empty table and sat facing each other.
"I'm taking Fatty back soon." Yan Yuehe took a bite of her steamed bun. "I can call a taxi myself during the day, so you don't need to bother taking me back."
“It’s no trouble for me to take you home,” Gou Qing tried to correct her overly polite attitude. “It’s something a boyfriend should do.”
Boy friend.
Ah! Why say it so explicitly!?
Yan Yuehe felt that her emotions, which she had finally managed to calm down, were reignited by his words.
Yan Yuehe's gaze darted around as she forcefully chewed several mouthfuls of the innocent-looking bun, swallowing it whole: "But really, it's not necessary."
She prefers to confirm everything before speaking: "I've already called a car. The appointment is at nine o'clock sharp. The driver should be on his way."
Gou Qing had no idea when she had done all this. They had been inseparable since she woke up this morning: "Really?"
“Really?” Yan Yuehe opened her chat history with the ride-hailing driver and waved it in front of him. “Look.”
Her finger touched the edge of the screen, inadvertently revealing her chat list.
There was only one pinned item, prominently displayed at the very top.
The chat ended at 04:35 this morning, as shown in the upper right corner. The chat content was: Are you awake?
He posted it.
Gou Qing's gaze shifted to her oblivious face.
He reached out and tapped the chat box she was supposed to show him.
"What are you ordering?" Yan Yuehe withdrew her hand, looked down at the screen, which was still the same one she had handed over. She asked curiously, "What were you trying to do just now?"
Gou Qing took out the same flavored bun she was eating from the bag: "Nothing, just touched it to let you know I know."
Yan Yuehe turned off her phone and put it aside, completely forgetting what she had set up a long time ago.
She took a sip of warm soy milk. These past two days, she had been staying with her dog in-laws, and she hadn't missed a single meal.
Especially breakfast, which she often skips.
With a warm feeling in her stomach, Yan Yuehe let out a comfortable sigh.
"Is it really that good?" Gou Qing took a sip with her. It was handmade soy milk, with coarse soy pulp at the bottom. "You like it? I can make it too."
Yan Yuehe didn't notice that he was imitating her eating, and sincerely praised him, "How can you do everything? You're so amazing."
Gou Qing took another sip of soy milk, the paper cup obscuring the corner of his upturned lips: "After living on your own for a long time, you'll naturally learn how."
Yan Yuehe, who had been living alone for nearly three years, suddenly fell silent.
Head bowed, she focused intently on battling the soft, fluffy bun.
Overnight, Fatty unexpectedly made friends at the base.
When Yan Yuehe and Gou Qing went to the kennel to pick it up, Pangbao was playing frisbee with another yellow dog.
Thinking of Atlas, who was currently with his three toy dogs, the elderly mother wanted to curse her son: "You scumbag dog!"
Okay, while she understood that puppies don't have that strong sense of responsibility, she still felt ashamed for her dog son: "Stop playing, Fatty, let's go home!"
Gou Qing's gaze remained fixed on her: "Remember to send me a message when you get home."
"Mmm," Yan Yuehe replied casually. "Then you have to tell me when you bring Atlas home."
It seems like I'm finally starting to feel like I'm in a real relationship.
The car that Yan Yuehe called arrived at the entrance of the base.
She and Pangbao sat in the back seat with the car window half open. She held down her dog son, who was trying to peek out, with one hand, while waving the other hand reluctantly.
"Let's go."
"Hmm." Gou Qing stood not far from the base gate, her hand waving at almost the same speed as hers.
Eye contact.
The puppy she was holding down and the car she was adjusting its direction gradually disappeared. With only this slight connection, the two seemed to be separated and fell into a world that belonged only to them.
Until they could no longer see each other.
"Boyfriend?" The driver was the same one she had called out to when she moved last time.
Yan Yuehe admitted shyly, "Yes."
Because she had started the conversation, Yan Yuehe was forced to listen to the driver's love story the whole way.
She was a little dazed when she got off the bus: how could the older generation get together so inexplicably after just one argument or holding hands?
They really are all married.
The dog walking ahead barked twice, and Yan Yuehe looked at it again: Even dogs fall in love after just one meeting.
Yan Yuehe, who had initially thought she was moving too fast, shook her head to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts, took out her phone and sent a message to Gou Qing: "My dear in-law, I'm home."
She still liked to call him that, because she was the only one who called him that.
She'll probably hold this position forever until Atlas abandons Fat Boys and starts a second spring in his life.
Exclusivity in love is revealed silently.
The first thing Yan Yuehe did after returning home was to take off her ill-fitting clothes and then go into the bathroom to take a shower.
She sweated while hiking this morning, but thankfully she didn't have any unpleasant odor. Otherwise, that close hug this morning would have turned into a smelly hug.
After taking a quick shower and washing her hair, Yan Yuehe changed into the most flattering clothes in her wardrobe and quietly waited for Ms. He Yanli to arrive.
That's right, that's why she had to come back today.
Ms. He Yanli's business trip was originally scheduled to end in three days.
But after seeing the doctor yesterday with Yan Yuehe's medical report, she directly tagged two people with the surname Yan in the family group.
She first scolded Yan Min for being weak and passing on this problem to her daughter; then she accused Yan Yuehe of being unwell but insisting on moving out, showing no awareness of her own health condition.
Of the family of three, the healthiest is undoubtedly Ms. He Yanli, whose aura can easily "dominate all sides".
The remaining two people certainly didn't have the confidence to refute this point.
Finally, Ms. He Yanli asked Yan Min to pick her up from the airport at noon the next day, and then the two of them would take Yan Yuehe for a check-up.
Yan Min quickly agreed, while Yan Yuehe only saw the message in the group after returning to her dormitory last night.
How to describe Yan Yuehe's health? It's not beyond saving, but she has so many minor ailments that Ms. He Yanli's brows are furrowed with worry.
"You must go home." This time, Ms. He Yanli was not so easily fooled. She was carrying a large bag of traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the doctor, while Yan Min was carrying two more bags.
Yan Yuehe quickly used Pangbao as a shield: "Dad is allergic to dog hair, we can't just send Pangbao away, can we?"
"Send your father away and let him stay in the company dormitory," Ms. He Yanli decided immediately.
Yan Yuehe: ...
Yan Min: ? ? ?
Ultimately, with the combined opposition of the father and daughter, both sides compromised.
Yan Yuehe is allowed to go back to her place during the weekdays, but she must obediently go home to rest for two days on weekends.
Unfortunately, today is Saturday.
After dropping Yan Min off at the company dormitory, Ms. He Yanli drove Yan Yuehe home to pick up Pang Bao.
Back home, Yan Yuehe and her mother took Pang Bao for a walk, and then she was forced to drink two bags of bitter Chinese herbal medicine.
As soon as Yan Yuehe returned to her room, she fell asleep the moment her head hit the bed.
She completely forgot that she had a boyfriend.
Author's note: Nongnong fiddles with her fingers [poor face]: It's quite possible that she forgot me on the first day we were together, right?
Gou Qing: [Heartbroken][Heartbroken][Heartbroken][Heartbroken][Heartbroken]
