"Leaving at dawn?" Then there's no need to buy alcohol.
Yan Yirou suddenly lowered her head, feeling a little bitter inside.
She was as happy as she was when she saw him at the stadium entrance, and now she is just as disappointed.
Gu Chenye noticed her change in mood and reached out to pat her head: "I'm sorry."
Upon hearing his apology, Yan Yirou quickly raised her head, pouted, and said, "Why are you apologizing? I'm not blaming you. I was just being a little dramatic. It has nothing to do with you!"
When Gu Chenye saw her reddened eyes, his heart tightened as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.
How could it be unrelated? Because of his profession, he couldn't spend much time with her, nor could he be there for her whenever she needed him.
With a ding, the elevator doors opened.
Yan Yirou walked out of the elevator quickly, feeling embarrassed.
Gu Chenye picked up the two large bags at his feet and stepped out of the elevator when he saw her suddenly turn around, her face flushed, and walk back: "You've gone the wrong way, this is the way."
Gu Chenye tugged at the corner of his lips, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.
He followed closely behind her.
Yan Yirou took the room card, opened the door, stood at the door waiting for him to come in, and then closed and locked the door.
Gu Chenye took out the two large bags of food and placed them on the coffee table. Ten pounds of crayfish seemed a bit too much... one table couldn't hold them all.
Yan Yirou threw the cushion on the carpet, then sat on it and said, "I originally wanted to buy some beer so we could eat, drink, and chat until dawn."
"But we can't drink this time, and it'll be the same next time. Sit down now, and don't leave until you finish your food, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenye was slightly taken aback: "You were just thinking of buying beer?"
“Yeah, otherwise what did you think I was going to buy?” Yan Yirou looked up at him.
"nothing."
Gu Chenye shook his head.
He should have asked her in the elevator and told her later that he was leaving in the early hours of the morning, so as not to affect her appetite.
He sat down on the ground opposite her, gazing intently at her: "Rou Rou, I received a last-minute mission to go out to sea and bring a group of people back to China. I'll be back in five days at the latest."
Yan Yirou, who was slurping crayfish, stopped abruptly, her expression blank: "Is this something I can say?"
Gu Chenye chuckled and took a tissue to wipe the red oil from the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, this isn't a secret mission."
"Oh, then go ahead and say it." Yan Yirou breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him: "No need to wipe it, just wash it after eating."
Gu Chenye withdrew his hand and said, "The fourth brother and his men wiped out part of the Divine Envoy Organization's forces. The people on that island were all hypnotized and forced to stay. We should take them back to the country and send them home."
Yan Yirou's heart skipped a beat!
Yes, there was this plot in the book. She remembered it, but it was many years later, and the people who returned were basically the descendants of the missing persons from those years.
The young people brought back the ashes of their elders and embraced their relatives who came to greet them, weeping bitterly. That scene not only made it onto the national news but also became a trending topic in many countries. These countries provided great assistance and support to the Four Young Masters in destroying the Divine Messenger Organization. This is also an important reason why the Four Young Masters were not purged afterward and were able to become monks in temples.
Thinking of this, Yan Yirou took a deep breath.
"Don't worry, go pick them up. When you come back, I'll bring you a gift, okay?"
Gift?
He should be the one preparing the gift for her.
Gu Chenye peeled the lobster for her while wearing gloves, and said, "You don't need to buy me anything, I don't need anything."
Yan Yirou squinted at him: "You really don't want it?"
It seems I can't refuse. Gu Chenye coughed twice: "No need to spend money, I'll like whatever you give me."
To everyone's surprise, Yan Yirou nodded: "It's impossible for me to spend money, I don't have any."
Gu Chenye: "..."
He seemed to remember her saying that she had nothing else but money.
Yan Yirou grinned: "The most important thing about giving gifts is the sentiment, but I promise you'll be satisfied!"
"Hmm." Gu Chenye knew that although she was often sharp-tongued, she was very kind-hearted, and he would be happy no matter what she gave him.
He gave her the peeled lobster meat.
Yan Yirou was stunned: "You don't like to eat it?"
"no."
Gu Chenye is the kind of person who will eat when there is food, but won't crave food when there isn't.
But seeing how much she enjoyed her food made him hungry too!
Yan Yirou picked up a piece of lobster meat and fed it to him, saying, "Then you eat it yourself. There are ten pounds of it here; I can't finish it all by myself."
Gu Chenye nodded: "Okay."
Yan Yirou would eat for a while, then sneak a peek at the time.
It's nine o'clock.
It's 10 o'clock.
...
As the time for his departure drew closer, Yan Yirou lost her appetite for the delicious crayfish.
Gu Chenye keenly noticed her movements and sighed inwardly.
He took off his gloves and pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands.
Yan Yirou was taken aback at first, then suddenly looked up at him: "Are you leaving now?"
"No." Gu Chenye shook his head.
He got up, walked over, and squatted down in front of her.
Yan Yirou felt a sudden surge of nervousness: "What are you doing?"
Gu Chenye spoke gently, "Rou Rou, I can't give you the simplest companionship, and I can't be there for you whenever you need me most..."
Yan Yirou's heart skipped a beat. What was going on?
He can't give her what she wants... he can't be with her... why does this sound like he's about to break up?
Her expression changed, and her gaze remained fixed on him.
If he dares to say the word 'break up,' she'll beat him to a pulp!
Suddenly, Gu Chenye changed the subject: "But even so, I still want to selfishly keep you by my side, because I only want you. Rou Rou, do you still want this selfish love?"
Yan Yirou blinked twice: "I said I don't want it, can I return it?"
"Of course not." Gu Chenye's tone was firm and left no room for argument.
Yan Yirou rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Since you can't return it, why are you saying all this? It's not like I just found out you're in the military. If I minded, do you think I would still be sitting in a hotel with you, a man and a woman, eating together?"
"Won't."
Gu Chenye answered, his gaze softening as he looked at her.
Yan Yirou's cheeks gradually flushed as he stared at her, and she muttered, "Alright, wasting food is shameful. You'd better sit back down now, and you're not allowed to leave until you finish your meal tonight!"
"Okay." Gu Chenye smiled, patted her head, and stood up.
Yan Yirou's eyes widened: "You put oil on my hair because your hands are oily?"
Gu Chenye's expression froze, and he immediately apologized: "...I'm sorry, I'll wash your hair."
Yan Yirou's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay! You wash my hair."
"Now? Aren't you going to eat?"
"I can eat crayfish anytime, but this is the only time you're giving me the chance to wash my hair, little wild girl. Come and serve me~"
Yan Yirou took off her gloves, smiled, and got up to walk towards the bathroom.
