Shen Sisi just lay on his chest, listening to her pounding heart and feeling his passion and love.
"Gu Chengfeng, don't lie to me again, okay?"
"Okay..." Gu Chengfeng murmured in a lazy but extremely sincere voice.
"I swear, I will never lie to you again. If I lie to you, I will..."
A few slender fingers pressed his lips softly: "Stop talking, we are not allowed to say unlucky words in the future."
Gu Chengfeng grinned innocently: "Okay..."
So, Shen Sisi has forgiven him?
Gu Chengfeng was laughing quietly when he suddenly heard Shen Sisi's rather stern voice.
"Don't be too happy too soon. I'm not going to forgive you yet. Let's see how you behave!"
...
...
Shen Sisi pushed him away, sat up, and quickly tidied her messy hair with her fingers.
The smile on Gu Chengfeng's face quickly disappeared, replaced by a look of nervousness.
It seems that he needs to get better soon and behave well in front of his wife...
His secret has been told, now it's Shen Sisi's turn to tell her secret.
"Sisi, what about you? What is the secret between you and Niuniu?"
Shen Sisi rolled her eyes, trying to tease him: “What’s wrong, do you care?”
"This is about you and Niuniu, how can I not care?"
"Do you care about me and Niuniu, or do you care about my past?"
Gu Chengfeng didn't even need to think, and blurted out: "I care about it!"
He knew the standard answer was to care about them and not the past, but he had just promised Shen Sisi that he would never lie to her in the future.
He cared about her past to an extreme degree.
Hearing his answer, Shen Sisi’s face instantly darkened.
Sure enough, he still cared about her past.
Gu Chengfeng was keenly aware of her disappointment, and without giving her the chance to continue imagining, he began to explain.
"I regret not being able to be with you during those years. I don't know what happened to you or who you met, but I know you must have suffered a lot."
"I, Gu Chengfeng, have never been a gentleman, nor do I have a broad mind. I cannot persuade myself not to care about those who hurt you, and the things that hurt you..."
"I am your husband now. If you are really bullied, I will find those who bully you no matter where in the world, no matter where in the mountains or in the seas, and beat them all up."
Shen Sisi was moved by his confident words, and at the same time thought that he was very cute in his recklessness.
It turned out that what he really cared about was not whether she had a child with a strange man.
But I want to avenge her!
Many years have passed, but Gu Chengfeng's temper remains the same.
I can't bear to see her suffer any injustice.
Hearing this, she completely untied the knot in her heart: "In fact, things are not as simple as you think, and I am not as pitiful as you think."
Shen Sisi sat on the edge of the bed and told him the story.
"In fact, Niuniu is not my biological daughter. She was born to another female educated youth who shared a room with me."
"What?" Gu Chengfeng was so surprised that he almost jumped up from his bed.
Niuniu is not her biological child, then why...
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Shen Sisi told him to calm down.
"Here's what happened..."
At the beginning, Shen Sisi went to the countryside as an educated youth. Because her car broke down on the way, she reported in a little late. The large bunk bed in the educated youth home was already full, so she and another female educated youth were arranged to live in a dilapidated house on the other side.
"Her name is Xiao Chunyu. She is from Shanghai, from a scholarly family. Like me, both her parents are orphaned, and she is an only child. Our similar family backgrounds and circumstances make us get along very well. It feels like we met too late..."
Shen Sisi still clearly remembers the first time she met Xiao Chunyu.
The girl with two pigtails, pretty face and sweet voice really has the graceful beauty of a girl from the Jiangnan water town.
This was also her first time to see what the ladies from Jiangnan looked like.
Since she is one year older than her, Xiao Chunyu regards herself as her elder sister and takes care of her in every way.
"Those years were very hard, but luckily I had Xiao Chunyu by my side. We supported each other and kept going until... the year when the college entrance examination was resumed!"
When the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, many students rekindled their desire to study, hoping to be admitted to university and change their destiny through the power of knowledge.
Shen Sisi and Xiao Chunyu were also very excited. They agreed to study together, take the college entrance examination together, and get out of this small mountain village.
"During that time, I used my own methods to find some old textbooks and read them day and night. I ignored Xiao Chunyu and didn't notice anything unusual about her."
At that time, Xiao Chunyu went out early and came back late every day, and he would laugh to himself from time to time, with a very sad look on his face.
Shen Sisi even laughed at her at that time, asking if she was in love, but Xiao Chunyu said nothing and just remained shy.
"I thought she had fallen in love with some educated youth, but I didn't expect...she came back pregnant!"
In that era, it was a very bad thing for a girl to get pregnant before marriage. She might even be arrested and charged with hooliganism.
Shen Sisi asked her who the father of her child was, but Xiao Chunyu gritted her teeth and refused to say anything. In order to prevent her good sister from being captured and poked in the back, Shen Sisi tried her best to cover up for her and take care of her.
"The conditions in the countryside were not good. Xiao Chunyu had severe morning sickness and could hardly eat anything. She vomited every day. She was so thin that she looked like a ghost. I tried to find a way to exchange goat milk for her and pick mushrooms for meat."
"Thank goodness she was very thin and her belly was not noticeable, plus it was winter and everyone was wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, so she was able to get away with it. But once spring came, the truth could no longer be hidden, and Xiao Chunyu's belly grew bigger, and the villagers discovered it."
"At the time, everyone asked her whose child this was, but she refused to reveal it. The heartless scumbag never showed up. He dared to do it but not to take responsibility. Seeing everyone looking like they were going to throw her into a pig cage, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I stood up and spoke for her, telling everyone that this child is a fatherless baby. I will help her raise the child after it is born, and I will never cause any trouble to the village."
"Later, the old village chief agreed to my proposal and told everyone that the child was picked up and we didn't know whose child it was, so we would keep him for the time being."
Originally, even if the matter was over, Xiao Chunyu was at ease preparing for the birth of the baby in the shabby house. Time passed quickly and it was June, which happened to be the thunderstorm season.
"That day, it was raining heavily. Our house was leaking everywhere. The wind was blowing so hard that it almost blew our house away. That night, Xiao Chunyu suddenly had a stomachache. She...she was about to give birth!"
