"Brother Changqing..." Bai Ruozhen said in a trembling voice, "I can't breathe." Gu Changsong also breathed a little, and then let go of her. The eyes of both of them were surprisingly bright, and there was admiration and love between lovers in them.
After a while, Gu Changqing hugged her and said, "Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen."
"Yeah." Bai Ruozhen responded and then cried softly.
Gu Changqing was startled and hurriedly wiped her tears, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong?"
Bai Ruozhen smiled and wiped away his tears, "Nothing, I just want to cry."
Gu Changqing: “….”
"Maybe having something delicious will make things better." Bai Ruozhen added.
Gu Changqing: “…”
It was already noon when they came out of the cinema. Gu Changqing took Bai Ruozhen to a state-owned restaurant for lunch and then kept his promise to take Bai Ruozhen to the park. Bai Ruozhen got to eat the cake as he wished and was in a very good mood.
After strolling through the park, the two went to the department store to do some shopping. Since Gu Changqing was in town, he naturally wanted to buy some things for his family. To show his appreciation, Bai Ruozhen bought Qiu Lanying and Gu Zhiguo a pair of large cotton-padded shoes. Meanwhile, Gu Changqing bought some candies and snacks he had never seen in Yancheng, as well as some clothes. In the evening, they returned with their purchases, dropped them off at the guesthouse, and then headed to the Bai family's house.
Because Gu Changqing was leaving tomorrow, Li Qiulan prepared a particularly sumptuous meal, including braised pork, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, a plate of braised pork ribs, and several other side dishes. It was obvious that Li Qiulan had put a lot of thought into preparing this table of dishes.
The happiest ones are the two little ones. These days, it is like Chinese New Year at home. There are delicious food every day, and their brother-in-law gives them good things every time he comes back from going out. They are reluctant to see him go.
However, after having a good meal and a drink, Gu Changqing also had to go back to the guesthouse. Bai Ruozhen put on his clothes and prepared to see him off without Li Qiulan telling him.
When they got outside the yard, Bai Ruozhen threw herself into his arms and said, "I really want to go back with you."
Gu Changqing chuckled, "Why don't you come back with me?"
Bai Ruozhen hummed sullenly, "But I still have to accompany my parents."
Gu Changqing smiled again, "It's cold outside, let's go back. Can you go with Auntie to see me off tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Bai Ruozhen didn't want to say anything now and just wanted to hide in his arms, as long as she could.
"Okay, more than ten days passed quickly." Gu Changqing said.
The two of them parted ways, and Bai Ruozhen went upstairs, looking back every few steps. It seemed as if they had not been apart for more than ten days but for more than ten years.
Bai Liqiang hid upstairs and peeked, thinking to himself, is being a partner really this good?
Bai Ruozhen tossed and turned all night, his mind full of thoughts of Gu Changqing. Not long after he dozed off, Li Qiulan called him, "It's past six o'clock, hurry up and get up. Little Gu is here. We have to go to the station after dinner."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruozhen jumped up. She casually combed her hair and ran out. Gu Changqing was helping to clean up the dishes. Seeing her come out with her hair disheveled, he was stunned at first, then smiled, "Zhenzhen, you look really good."
Bai Ruozhen felt a little better and then chuckled.
After breakfast, Li Qiulan and Bai Ruozhen went to see Gu Changqing off. When they arrived at the station, Gu Changsong and Wang Jun had already arrived, but surprisingly, Wang Jun also had luggage with him.
Wang Jun said, "After much deliberation, I decided to go back for the New Year."
Seeing Li Qiulan's surprised expression, he smiled bitterly, "I miss them, but they may not miss me. Maybe when I come back, they will only miss my things. Instead of having to deal with people's faces in that family, I might as well go back and celebrate the New Year."
