"Gu Yanbai, are you crazy? Let go of me, it hurts so much!" Su Nianxue cried out loudly as he gripped her so tightly.
"Then tell me you won't sneak away while I'm not home!" Gu Yanbai insisted on getting her to say that.
Hearing her cries of pain, his eyes flickered slightly, and he finally loosened his grip on her iron arm a little.
"Aren't you childish?"
Why should I run away? I'm not like Liu Yuanyuan.
"Besides, where can I run to?" Su Nianxue twisted her body, trying to squeeze out of his grasp.
Unfortunately, she couldn't pry his arm open, and after a few attempts, she had to give up.
Seeing that she was no longer moving, Gu Yanbai's voice rang out above her head, "Su Nianxue, is there anywhere you particularly want to go?"
"Yes, I want to go to Luzhou!" She figured she couldn't sleep anyway, and she couldn't break free, so she might as well chat.
"Is it because of your mother that you want to go see her?"
Su Nianxue shook her head. "Mom has been out of contact for so many years, she must have gotten married and had other children long ago."
I won't disturb her peaceful life.
I didn't go to Luzhou to find her.
When I was little, my mother often told me that Luzhou was the most beautiful place in the world.
There is a beautiful Bund, bustling alleyways, the largest department store, and a beautifully decorated international hotel.
I just wanted to see for myself just how beautiful Luzhou was, the city she described.
She was so beautiful that... she left us without looking back, though she didn't say it aloud.
But the end in people's eyes doesn't lie.
She took a deep breath, and the feeling of suffocation in her heart eased a little.
"After I finish what I'm doing, I'll take you to Luzhou to have a look!"
He touched the top of her head, his voice as soft as a feather, stirring a ripple in her heart.
"Let's talk about this later!"
Luzhou is so far away, it's not something you can just go to whenever you want.
Besides, I need to make tofu at home to earn money; how could I go so far away?
When the topic of making money came up, her slightly restless heart gradually calmed down.
She is now able to support herself and no longer has to live a life of dependence, which makes her feel very content.
Having tasted the joy of making money, he was reluctant to abandon all his affairs and go to Luzhou for fun.
All you ever do is think about your worthless tofu!
"I'm bored, I'm going to sleep!"
Gu Yanbai was somewhat uninterested. The topic had just been so pleasant, and she really managed to ruin it.
He admitted that he had given her a fair amount of money!
Moreover, she had quite a bit of money on her, more than many families in the village had saved up for a lifetime.
But why is she still not satisfied?
Su Nianxue rolled her eyes at him. "If I'm not after the tofu, am I after you?"
"It's not impossible!" Gu Yanbai thought about it; that feeling was definitely better than thinking about tofu.
"Sleep, sleep!" This time, Su Nianxue was less interested. Oh well, she'd better continue fiddling with her tofu!
Nothing was said that night.
The next day, the two went to town, went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau, got their marriage certificate, and took their wedding photos in one go.
Soon, the two received two freshly printed bright red marriage certificates.
Su Nianxue didn't feel much, since the two had already held a wedding banquet and were just getting a marriage certificate now.
She glanced at it briefly and then casually tossed the marriage certificate into her military green satchel.
Seeing her casual demeanor, Gu Yanbai's posture, holding the marriage certificate in both hands, stiffened slightly.
Then, his face darkened, he slammed the marriage certificate shut, and stuffed it into his pocket.
With a swift movement of his long legs, he hopped onto the bicycle. "Get on."
His voice was somewhat cold and hard, and Su Nianxue instinctively sensed that he seemed unhappy.
She was a little confused, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she hadn't done anything!
Why is he unhappy again?
This person's temperament is like the weather in June, changing in an instant.
Based on her experience, at this point, the more she says, the more mistakes she makes.
So she didn't say anything and obediently got into the car.
The bicycle stopped shortly afterward.
Su Nianxue looked up and saw the large characters "Siyuan Hotel" in front of her. She seemed to understand his intention.
"Gu Yanbai, are you going to eat here?"
“It’s not me, it’s us.” He braced himself on one leg, gesturing for her to get out of the car.
"Gu Yanbai, let's go back! I'm not hungry!" She didn't get out of the car, but tentatively discussed it with him.
"Don't worry, I won't make you spend any money. Look at how stingy you are." Gu Yanbai was a little impatient and insisted that she get out of the car.
"You talk as if your money isn't part of our family's."
She muttered to herself, "They got married today and even got their marriage certificate. Logically, she should have a share of his money, right?"
She knew she couldn't control him, but that seemed to be the case.
The words "our family" completely pleased him, and the pent-up frustration in Gu Yanbai's heart seemed to disappear inexplicably.
"Yes, it's all our family's money. Come down, it won't cost much to eat here."
He finally turned around, his expression a mixture of pleasure and amusement.
Su Nianxue understood; he was very familiar with those people.
He meant not spending much money, probably because the restaurant would give him a discount or something!
Perhaps it also implies a free meal.
However, she didn't really want to get involved in his affairs; she just needed to know that he hadn't done anything wrong.
"Gu Yanbai, it's not that I'm afraid of spending money, it's that I really don't have much of an appetite."
Besides, I'm making tofu this afternoon, so let's go back!
