Chapter 69: Unpredictable
Xiuzhu and Gu Yu’s wedding date has been set, September 11th in the Gregorian calendar, and Aunt Gu will bring Gu Tong over at that time.
But things are always unpredictable.
On August 20th, Gu Yu locked himself in the room and did not go out the whole day.
Gu's father was demoted, and Gu Sheng was busy running around Beijing for this matter, and was exhausted.
"It hasn't come out yet."
Outside the door, Ye Yunrong was a little worried. After all, Gu Yu had always been a mature and steady child, and she had never seen him like this before.
Xiuzhu respects Gu Yu and wants to give him space to digest his emotions on his own.
Fearing that he would be disturbed, he said to his mother: "Give him some time. No matter how powerful he is, he is also a human being. Everyone has worries and troubles."
The people and things in this world are somewhat different from modern history.
So she didn't know what the final result would be, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed, worried about Gu Yu...
Gu Yu heard Aunt Ye's worries in the room, but he was in a bad mood now.
I’m afraid that if they see it, they’ll be even more worried, so I might as well wait until I’ve digested it before going out.
But I didn’t expect Xiuzhu to say such a thing.
His feelings seemed to surge from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but want to hug her tightly for comfort.
He has been exceptionally smart since he was young. Whether it was his relatives or later classmates, comrades-in-arms, and colleagues, they all seemed to regard him as omnipotent and indestructible, and even he himself thought so.
It was not until he helplessly watched his comrades-in-arms, with whom he had lived for many years, fall one by one in front of him that he realized that he was just an ordinary person and that he could do nothing about the passing of life.
During the days he spent with Xiuzhu in Yucheng, he lived an extremely comfortable and happy life. He became much more relaxed and almost forgot about the storm outside.
He learned yesterday that something had happened to his father, and was afraid that his eldest brother's phone was being tapped, so he could only go and ask Shunzi, but Shunzi's information was incomplete.
Once again, Gu Yu felt his own insignificance.
When he was extremely disappointed with his own incompetence, Xiuzhu's words woke him up. He is just a mortal.
There will be things that cannot be solved, but just give it your best and don't regret it.
He already knew what he was going to do.
Gu Yu calmed down and walked out of the room slowly.
At the dining table downstairs, Xiuzhu saw that he finally came out and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In her heart, Gu Yu is full of vigor and vitality, and has a noble bearing.
Seeing him look listless after coming back at noon yesterday, she didn't know why she felt a little uncomfortable.
Xiuzhu looked at Gu Yu with a spring-like smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
"Hey, whose handsome gay is here? Come over to eat. If you come later, I'll eat up all the meat."
Gu Yu couldn't help but be attracted to her and temporarily forgot all his worries.
He pulled the corners of his stiff mouth and responded in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll be right there."
Ye Yunrong also served him food with a smile, and did not mention anything about Gu Yu's father, for fear that he would be worried.
Gu Yu did not get up and leave after finishing his meal. He was silent for a while, then slowly spoke, "Aunt, I want to go back to Beijing this afternoon and will be back before the wedding. I'd like to trouble you to help take care of Xiuzhu during this time."
Ye Yunrong understood his feelings as a child and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's my responsibility to take care of Xiuzhu. Please help me give your mother a good message when you get there."
Seeing Gu Yu looking at his daughter reluctantly, he ordered: "Go upstairs for a while, we can still talk."
Gu Yu apologized to Ye Yunrong gratefully, then got up and took Xiuzhu upstairs.

"Xiuzhu, wait for me to come back," Gu Yu's voice was full of reluctance.
(The female protagonist's character has been changed. She was already 19 years old in 1966. Please forgive me.)
Xiuzhu understood his current mood, but she felt inexplicably uneasy. She asked hesitantly, "Will you come back as scheduled?"
The man said in a firm tone: "I will be back before our wedding. No matter what the situation is over there, I will come back to marry you."
"But what if something happens to me?" Xiuzhu hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but spoke.
She knew that Gu Yu was doing this for his family. She understood that she had been feeling more and more uneasy recently, fearing that her family's fate would be the same as in the book.
In this era with restrictions everywhere, she did everything she could, but she was afraid that something out of her control would happen.
Xiuzhu had no idea how to deal with the arrival of unknown danger.
Gu Yu didn’t know why Xiuzhu was so uneasy, but he felt distressed when he saw her frightened look.
If possible, he would keep her by his side forever. But what he was going to do this time was also very dangerous. He couldn't and didn't dare to take her there.
"Be good, don't be afraid. Over the past year, I have also developed some influence of my own in Yucheng."
"If something happens, take this letter and find someone."
Gu Yu told Hao Xiuzhu the address to contact them and handed her the letter he had written long ago.
He had written this long ago just to deal with unexpected crises and protect Xiuzhu's safety.
He already regarded her as his own wife and would do everything he could to protect her life, even at the cost of his own life.
Xiuzhu didn't expect that he could be so comprehensive. It was as if something had slowly taken root in her heart and was now about to break out of the ground.
She stared at the man in front of her, feeling a little sour in her nose. She didn't want him to see her like this, so she buried her head in Gu Yu's arms and said in a muffled voice: "I'll wait for you to come back and marry me. If you don't come back, I will never talk to you again."
When Gu Yu heard her words, he could no longer control his emotions. He hugged her tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go.
