Chapter 90 Willingly
"How long will it take to reach downtown Guangzhou?"
Xiuzhu sat in the car and asked the man next to her weakly.
Gu Yu glanced at the time on his watch and soothed her gently, "It's almost time. We will get off the bus in an hour, and then take a bus to the state-owned restaurant. I will take you to eat the local specialties first."
Xiuzhu leaned her head dejectedly on Gu Yu's shoulder.
After sitting in the car for half a day, she felt sore all over and said weakly, "Please massage my shoulders and arms for me."
"Okay, is this okay?" Gu Yu did as he was told, but was afraid that he would use too much force and hurt her, so he asked carefully.
"A little heavier, didn't you eat?"
"Oh, so strong, are you trying to murder me?"
"A little to the left, no, a little to the right."
There were many people in the carriage and the air was stuffy, and beads of sweat appeared on Gu Yu's forehead.
But he didn't have time to wipe it as he was serving his little wife wholeheartedly.
Yutian County resumed normal traffic two days ago. Xiuzhu was almost going moldy staying at home, so she pestered Gu Yu to take her to visit the urban area of Guangcheng.
She came in a hurry and didn't go shopping.
The letter of introduction that Gu Yu had issued before was very strange. It allowed him to move around freely in Guangcheng.
I also wrote a letter of introduction for a week, and the two of them stayed in a guesthouse, treating it as a honeymoon, and had free time to travel around for a few days.
"Tsk tsk, young people nowadays are so spoiled. They need to be coaxed to do anything, and order their men around like animals. They don't take their men seriously at all. My man is lucky because I take care of him at home. It's not like some people who marry a man who can only look up at them."
Looking from the back, he saw a woman in her 30s with a sallow complexion and dry hair. He had long been fed up with that delicate and frivolous female comrade.
She even had to be coaxed by the man next to her to drink water. Now seeing her pretentious appearance, he couldn't help it and angrily complained to the people around him.
The person sitting next to him felt a little embarrassed and did not respond.
She envied the beautiful lesbian for having such a considerate man.
Gu Yu's eyes turned cold, and he wanted to warn the people behind him not to meddle in other people's business, but Xiuzhu spoke first.
"Some people, because no one cares about them, really treat themselves like cattle and horses, and naively think that others should be the same as them. They are so pitiful and sad, alas." She deliberately emphasized her tone and leaned forward slightly.
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows slightly, a cunning smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she winked at Gu Yu.
Zhang Guihua was furious as if her true feelings were revealed. She stood up and shouted diagonally in front of her, "Who are you talking about, you bitch, you shameless person, you..."
"I am willing to feel sorry for my wife. This is my business. You, a stranger, don't need to point fingers at me. Also, if you dare to insult my wife, I will get off the car and call the police."
Zhang Guihua saw that the man was looking at her with gloomy eyes and his voice was terrifyingly cold. It was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, her mouth slightly opened, and the words she wanted to curse were held back, she dared not cause any more trouble.
Just as she was about to sit back in her seat, the sudden shaking of the car body threw her into the aisle at the back. She screamed in pain and finally limped back to her seat with a grimace on her face.
The laughter in the carriage made her blush and she dared not look up in shame.
Seeing that the woman got her comeuppance, Gu Yu stopped caring about her and even wanted to teach her a lesson after getting off the car.
Now is the perfect time, he doesn’t have to waste his date with Soo-joo.
He agreed with what Xiuzhu said just now. A woman should be like her and know how to love herself. It is real to take good care of herself at all times instead of sacrificing herself for others.
He wanted Xiuzhu to have such a little selfishness, he also liked this about her, and he was willing to indulge her.
Besides, he has his own say on how to treat his wife and doesn't need irrelevant people to judge.
"No need to press it. You're tired too. Take a break." Xiuzhu was in no mood. Gu Yu was a man after all. She was afraid that he would feel hurt in self-esteem and would treat her badly in the future. She decided to pretend to be considerate for now.
"Really? Don't worry about what others say. I am your husband, and taking care of you is what I should always do. And I also hope that you can order me around.
"Because I love you, baby."
Gu Yu lowered his head and whispered the last sentence in her ear. Xiuzhu's face gradually turned red and her heart felt warm.
She looked at the man next to her shyly and whispered back, "I love you too. I will only order you around, okay?"
Gu Yu took into consideration the large number of people in the car and controlled the urge to hold her in his arms.
His smile was like a spring breeze blowing across the fields, and his voice was gentle to the core, "Okay, I'm willing to be at your service for the rest of my life."
The two of them sat quietly in their seats, but when they exchanged glances with each other, there seemed to be endless undercurrents of emotion, and an indescribable atmosphere of ambiguity filled the air.
…

"We're finally here." Xiuzhu stood on the busy street, looking at the workers passing by after get off work, feeling deeply moved. It really took a long time to get from Yutian County to Guangcheng City.
They had set out in the morning and were now in time for dinner.
"If you're tired, just rest in your room. I'll go to the state-owned restaurant to pack up the food and bring it back for you." Gu Yu felt sorry for her sitting in the car for so long and wanted her to save some energy.
"I'll make the decision after we get to the room." Xiuzhu still wanted to go out for a walk, but her physical strength was a bit hindered.
Gu Yu actually wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Xiuzhu. He wanted to take her away. It was inconvenient for the two of them to live in his father-in-law's house in Yutian County.
Moreover, the place is remote, it is difficult to get into the city, and the level in all aspects is poor. I don’t want Xiuzhu to sink her youth there at such a young age.
Of course, if Xiuzhu likes that kind of life, he can only go along with her and leave the job there. Anyway, he will not leave her.
Gu Yu brought Xiuzhu to the guesthouse and showed his identity card and letter of introduction at the front desk. Everything went smoothly and the staff took them directly to the room on the second floor.
Xiuzhu pushed the door open curiously and looked around. This was her first time staying in a guesthouse.
The interior was simply furnished with a bed, a table, portraits and slogans on the wall.
The room was cleaned very well, there was not a speck of dust on the table.
Gu Yu changed the sheets and quilts he brought from home, and then took the basin and thermos to go out, and told Xiuzhu who was sitting on the stall chair, "I'll go out and get some hot water, you just wash up, and then lie on the bed and rest for a while. The state-owned hotel is very close to here, I'll be back soon."
"Okay." Xiuzhu gave up going out. When she saw the bed, she just wanted to lie down and didn't want to go anywhere.

Gu Yu went to the state-owned restaurant, looked at the menu, and according to Xiuzhu's taste, ordered barbecued pork, soy sauce chicken legs, lotus root powder, and stir-fried vegetables. The staple food was 4 taels of white rice and a portion of rice rolls.
After he handed the money and ticket to the waiter, he chose an empty seat and waited.
I looked out the window boredly, taking in the surroundings, and saw the post office not far away, so I wanted to call my home in Beijing.
He walked up to the waiter and said a few words to him, then handed over the lunch box he had brought with him, and when no one was paying attention, he slipped 20 cents into the other person's pocket.
Gu Yu came to the post office, called home, asked about his family's recent situation, and told them about his plans.
After hanging up the phone, he called Qin Huai again. This old classmate helped him a lot, so he should visit him.
…
"Okay, I'll take my wife over when you get off work tomorrow."
The two chatted briefly and then hung up the phone. He didn't dare to waste any more time.
When he rushed back to the state-owned restaurant, the waiter had just packed the food. Seeing him come back, he handed the lunch box to him enthusiastically.
Gu Yu thanked him and strode away. He was worried about Xiuzhu being alone in a strange place, even though he had locked the door before leaving.
