Perhaps you'll even dream that you weren't rescued, and that Gu Shi didn't arrive in time.
I was also exhausted, which led to me being captured again.
Just hearing the frivolous man's threats, Lin Qingyu could guess what would happen to her if she were caught.
Lin Qingyu sighed, enduring her physical discomfort, and slowly got out of bed.
Gu Shi didn't even bother to wipe away his tears and quickly helped her up.
"I'm just sad that I couldn't protect you or give you a good life!"
The two sat side by side on the edge of the bed. Lin Qingyu was still a little dizzy, so she simply let Gu Shi help her lie down.
"I know, I know all that. Lie down with me for a while! You've worked hard too!"
Gu Shi poured Lin Qingyu a glass of water, fed it to her, and then carefully lay down beside her.
"What's the use of all my hard work? You still suffered just as much. It's all my fault for being so useless! Sigh!"
This was the first time Lin Qingyu had ever seen Gu Shi like this—lifeless, hopeless, and lacking in confidence.
She turned around, hugged Gu Shi's arm, and leaned against him, seemingly less afraid now.
"Gu Shi, listen to me. After what happened, I was scared, but now that I'm holding you, I don't feel sad at all!"
Gu Shi stared at her, somewhat stunned: "What?"
"I feel that as long as I'm with you, no matter what happens, I won't be afraid. You give me a sense of security!"
Lin Qingyu recalled her time in the cellar and said that she was no longer so afraid.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have held on for so long, and I wouldn't have kept trying to escape from there, clinging to hope! I mean it!"
Upon hearing Lin Qingyu's words, Gu Shi's eyes immediately brightened, no longer as lifeless as before.
"Do I really have that much influence on you?"
"Of course! You forgot? Didn't we go back to Pear Blossom Village before? I remembered everything from when we were kids!"
"I remember you gave me the sweet pears, the tender corn, and all the good food. How could I forget you!"
"Have you forgotten how good you've been to me? Don't I have a heart? Even if I can't remember things from when I was little, we've been married for so many years, do you think I can't see how good you've been to me?"
Lin Qingyu spoke at length because she knew that Gu Shi was always like this.
He treated her well without reservation, asking for nothing in return, and even demanding a response from her.
Therefore, Gu Shi, who is usually very confident, never quite believed in himself when it came to her.
Despite Lin Qingyu's repeated explanations, Gu Shi remained so indecisive and anxious. This was not good! Not good!
Did you hear what I said?
Seeing that Gu Shi didn't react, Lin Qingyu reached out and nudged his arm.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shi remained motionless, so Lin Qingyu thought of getting up to check on him, but Gu Shi suddenly hugged her.
Fortunately, when Lin Qingyu got up, her elbows were still on the bed, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to maintain her balance.
"Hey, what are you doing! You scared me to death!"
Lin Qingyu lay on top of Gu Shi, trying to get up, but Gu Shi's large hand pressed firmly against her back.
"Let me up!"
Lin Qingyu kept writhing, but no matter how much she begged for mercy, Gu Shi remained unmoved.
He was neither moved by her words nor by her emotions.
"Are you made of wood?! Why aren't you saying anything!"
Lin Qingyu couldn't get up, and since she was already feeling unwell, she got really angry!
Gu Shi finally let go of Lin Qingyu, but Lin Qingyu couldn't stay angry when she saw Gu Shi now.
From the time Gu Shi lay down until now, about ten minutes have passed.
But in those short ten minutes, an exceptionally strong man, the owner of several factories, and a retired soldier, has become what he is today.
Her eyes were bloodshot, she looked so pitiful!
Lin Qingyu didn't know what words to use to describe Gu Shi. Was she pitiful? Weeping uncontrollably?
In short, Lin Qingyu couldn't find a suitable word to describe herself; she just felt that her Gu Shi was really good.
"Alright, alright! I'm just injured, not dead! Why are you crying like that..."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
It's unclear which word touched Gu Shi, but he suddenly spoke very seriously, then hugged Lin Qingyu and cleverly sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Don't talk nonsense. Take good care of yourself. Even if I'm gone, you'll be fine!"
Lin Qingyu quickly said, "Pah! Pah! Pah!"
"You're talking nonsense! I was just trying to cheer you up. I think you've made up your mind, haven't you? I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? Don't be too sad!"
The two, one sitting and one standing, stared at each other, with Lin Qingyu refusing to back down.
In the end, Gu Shi gave in and sighed helplessly, "Sigh! I just can't bear to see you get hurt. Even if we go back to Pear Blossom Village, as long as there's no danger, that's fine!"
Lin Qingyu could understand Gu Shi's thoughts. Even if their positions were reversed today, she might still be packing her things to go back to Pear Blossom Village.
They both wanted their home to be better, and everything was moving in a positive direction, but they always encountered some messy things.
"I understand what you mean. Let's discuss it again when I can go home. Health is the foundation of everything, isn't that what Chairman Mao said?"
Lin Qingyu smiled gently, as if she hadn't been the sickly person just now, and instantly felt much better.
Gu Shi had cried several times today, and now he felt a little embarrassed: "Okay, you decide!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to peel the apple.
Even though there was a plate of fresh, just-peeled fruit on the table next to Lin Qingyu.
Not long after, Li Xiuhua and the others returned.
Gu Jue was overjoyed to see Lin Qingyu sit up.
"Mother! Mother!"
As soon as she entered the ward, she couldn't wait to run towards Lin Qingyu.
With his short legs, he took one step at a time and soon arrived in front of Lin Qingyu.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Jue made a face at Lin Qingyu, though it was just a gesture.
He stretched out his index fingers and gestured towards his face, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
It's not hard to see that Gu Jue wanted to convey that Lin Qingyu was shy.
Everyone present was amused by her and burst into laughter. Such a clever little girl, I wonder who she learned it from!
The doctor came to check on her again in the afternoon. Lin Qingyu's body had recovered very well, and she herself did not feel particularly uncomfortable.
So the next morning, the group packed their things and left the hospital.
go home?
No one wanted to go back, especially Gu Shi. The addresses he chose often led to trouble, and now the thought of that home made him feel unlucky.
So the family went straight back to the brick factory, which was also their "home"!
