After thinking for a while, he finally understood the meaning behind Gu Qingxian's words and slowly said, "They just hope that you can achieve more than them."
Silence fell over Gu Qingxian. Shen Ye continued, "Actually, I knew who you were the day I saved you. You didn't want to say it, and I didn't want to expose it either. But I really didn't treat you well because of your identity."
"If you really want to know my purpose in getting close to you, it's that I like you, please believe me..."
Gu Qingxian remained silent, the room eerily quiet, a silence that could drive one mad. "Then leave. Don't come looking for me again. I'll move away..."
Upon hearing this, he suddenly gripped Shen Ye's hand tightly and said coldly, "You dare!"
Shen Ye suddenly became somewhat pessimistic and, without joking, said to him seriously, "Born into such a large family, not only your family, but society itself would never allow us to be together, brother. No matter how long we've been together, or how many times we've been intimate, deep down you still yearn for a wife and children in the future..."
Gu Qingxian released Shen Ye's hand and snorted coldly, "You're right, I do long for a home, children, and a wife."
Shen Ye suddenly felt disappointed. "Since that's how you are, then Xiao Xi won't bother you anymore. As long as you're well, that's all that matters."
Gu Qingxian suddenly kissed Shen Ye's lips, her voice filled with punishment and anger, yet her eyes were gentle and passionate. "Lin Xi, you're not stupid, so why are you being so incredibly stupid today? Do I really have to tell you everything outright?"
"What?"
Gu Qingxian stopped answering Shen Ye, pulled him into her arms, and closed her eyes to rest. Shen Ye understood somewhat, yet was also confused. The wife Gu Qingxian spoke of couldn't be his, because he was a man, and "wife" referred to a woman...
Thinking too much will only make you sad, and saying too much is worse than remaining silent.
Composing himself, he got up, grabbed a blanket, and covered Gu Qingxian with it. He must be exhausted. He fell asleep immediately.
After preparing breakfast, Gu Qingxian woke up and then ate breakfast with Shen Ye.
As Shen Ye ate his porridge, he stirred it with his spoon, lost in thought about what his future with Gu Qingxian would hold. The more he thought, the more engrossed he became. When he looked up, he found Gu Qingxian staring straight at him, his eyes holding an indescribable expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Little Creek, I have something to give you."
"What is that?"
"my heart."
Shen Ye was shocked, almost dropping the spoon in his hand. He remained silent for a long time, but ultimately didn't know what to say.
After dinner, the two went for a walk together. As soon as they went downstairs, they were stopped by two women. Shen Ye didn't recognize them, but he could see the look of someone catching someone in the act in the act in the face of one of their young faces.
"Qingxian, so you've been staying here all this time." The older woman asked Gu Qingxian directly, not with anger, but with concern.
"Yes, you saw it? Then go back to where you came from." Gu Qingxian glanced at the woman, pulled Shen Ye to leave, but was stopped again.
"Qingxian, I'm your mother, how can you talk to me like that?"
So she's Gu Qingxian's mother. No wonder.
Gu Qingxian completely ignored her and continued to lead Shen Ye away, causing the woman's expression to change immediately.
"Qingxian, you've been missing for so long, your aunt is very worried about you, could you please..."
"Shut up! It's none of your business what happens between my son and me," Gu Qingxian growled. It was clear that he had no feelings for his mother, and even harbored hatred towards her.
