Chapter 62 The day after Gao Wen went to Yuhe Yoga Studio, ...
Gao Wen started her classes the day after she went to Yuhe Yoga Studio.
Many members came specifically because of her and even signed up for her classes. Before Gao Wen left, she told Xu Mei that she would accept refunds or allow her to switch to other teachers' classes. To her surprise, very few people actually requested refunds.
No matter what, she has to finish what she's supposed to do.
As soon as the receptionist posted a message in the group chat, Gao Wen's classes for the next day were fully booked.
Gao Wen looked at the class bookings in the backstage; Hu Hong had booked a class for 7 a.m.
The weather is getting cold, so the earliest class is from seven to eight in the morning.
Gao Wen put her phone aside, lay on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
For the past three months, she has developed insomnia, often staying up all night and having her days and nights reversed, which is quite painful and not at all carefree.
Zhang Ni said that Fang Han went to see her.
Gao Wen truly didn't know, and she dared not know. She didn't know how to face it. She was indeed a scumbag woman, no wonder everyone hated her, selfish and only caring about herself.
It was past midnight when Gao Wen forced herself to go to sleep early, as she had to get up early the next day.
She drifted off to sleep, but didn't sleep well.
I got up before dawn and was no longer sleepy.
When Gao Wen arrived at the yoga studio early in the morning, Hu Hong was already waiting outside.
"When did you arrive?" Gao Wen walked up quickly and opened the door to let Hu Hong in; it was very cold outside.
Hu Hong didn't reply. She kept looking at Gao Wen, her tone full of worry and pity: "Wenwen, are you alright? I heard from them that you were in a bad mood, so you went on vacation. Is it because of too much work pressure?"
"I'm just going for a walk, nothing else." Gao Wen smiled, walked to the tea room and put the tea on the stove to brew. "Please wait for me a moment, it will be ready soon."
"It's okay, take your time." Hu Hong placed the insulated food container on the table. "Have you had breakfast? I brought it for you."
Gao Wen paused slightly. "Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble. Please don't bother me like that next time."
"You didn't eat, did you? You've even forgotten to eat breakfast now?" Hu Hong walked over to look at her. "You've lost weight. You were already thin, and if you lose any more, you'll just be skin and bones! That won't look good. Don't lose weight; it's bad for your health."
Gao Wen hadn't eaten breakfast properly for a long time, and her daily routine had been completely disrupted.
She smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll pay attention next time and try to eat more."
Hu Hong smiled and said, "You're such an obedient and good child."
Her words were full of love and genuine praise, and Gao Wen's heart skipped a beat—a strange and unfamiliar feeling. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how well she did or how much she achieved, she had never been so affirmed.
Hu Hong praised her so much for such a small thing that she was embarrassed.
"Come in, I heard from them that you haven't been to class for a while. I guess you're going to suffer a lot again." Gao Wen walked towards the private tutoring room and reminded her, "Don't worry, I won't go easy on you."
"It's okay, I like you." Hu Hong jogged after her, beaming.
Gao Wen looked at her, and her heart warmed.
Hu Hong and Fang Han are indeed mother and son; they give her the exact same feeling.
The class ended quickly, and Gao Wen didn't have time to catch up with Hu Hong before the next member arrived.
She threw herself back into her busy work.
Gao Wen finally had a two-hour break during her lunch break.
She was fortunate that she still loved and was passionate about this job, and her mindset hadn't changed much.
Try to think positively. Everyone will die eventually, so while you're alive, try to live a wonderful life.
"What do you want for lunch?" Gao Wen asked Zhang Ni with a smile as she walked to the front desk.
“We’ll have spicy hot pot, you can eat whatever you like,” Zhang Ni replied.
"Hmm? What delicious food? A weight-loss meal?" Gao Wen said helplessly, "I've lost weight recently, so I can skip the weight-loss meal for now."
"No, no, no," Zhang Ni said, taking out a bag. "This was just delivered by Aunt Hu. She said it was for you, to tell you to eat properly and not to eat takeout, as it's unhealthy."
"Where is she?" Gao Wen pressed.
Zhang Ni: "She's gone shopping. Every time she came by while you were gone, she looked disappointed. She just came over all smiles, saying she was going shopping with her girlfriends."
Gao Wen looked at the bag.
She took it to the lounge and opened it. The top box contained fruit: washed strawberries, sliced oranges, peeled grapefruit, and a large green jujube.
The insulated box also has three layers, containing home-style dishes and a soup.
Gao Wen was initially just touched, but when she drank the soup and discovered that it contained cordyceps, she felt a pang in her heart.
Fang Han said that Hu Hong asked him to ask someone to buy it, and he also asked why Hu Hong hadn't made soup for him yet.
Gao Wen took a deep breath, continued eating, picked up her phone and sent a message to Hu Hong, asking Hu Hong not to bring her food or breakfast next time, as it was too much trouble for her.
Hu Hong sent a voice message: "I'm not trying to bribe you to be my daughter-in-law. I just like you, it has nothing to do with Fang Han. My dear, you should eat well."
Upon seeing this sentence, Gao Wen was overwhelmed with a mix of complex emotions, and her eyes became dry and itchy.
Before she could even explain why, Hu Hong already knew what she was thinking.
Gao Wen believes she is not a sentimental person; she is selfish, clear-headed, cold-hearted, and indifferent.
However, during this period, she couldn't control her emotions and felt somewhat powerless.
"Sister Wenwen, Sister Zhang said she wants to come for class between one and two o'clock. She asked if you want to add an extra class for her?" The receptionist poked her head out and asked with a smile.
Gao Wen nodded: "Let her come over."
"OK."
......
Gao Wen was busy until 10 p.m. before she finished class.
She told the receptionist to go home first. After class, she tidied up the private tutoring room, changed her clothes, put on her down jacket and shoes, closed the door, and walked out.
It's snowing lightly outside, the snow is falling gently.
As soon as Gao Wen stepped out the door, she saw a tall, slender figure under the tree.
She knew who it was at a glance, without even seeing their faces clearly.
She didn't look a second time, turned around, and walked in another direction, quickening her pace until she was almost jogging.
Gao Wen bypassed one of the office buildings and continued forward.
She walked a long way before turning back and stopping abruptly.
Fang Han stayed at a distance that wasn't too far from her, just following her.
If we keep following her, we'll almost reach her residential area.
Gao Wen simply sat down on a bench by the roadside. Fang Han slowly walked over and sat down beside her. He turned to the side, silently looking at her, and softly asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
He didn't ask her why she suddenly left without saying goodbye, didn't answer his calls, or didn't reply to his messages. Instead, he asked her if she was alright.
Gao Wen kept her head down and nodded.
"That's good," Fang Han smiled gently. "I was just worried about you, nothing else."
"Then you see, I'm perfectly fine." Gao Wen looked up at Fang Han. He had lost a lot of weight, which was immediately obvious; his chin was now pointed.
Fang Han: "You've lost a little weight."
Gao Wen said in a deliberately relaxed tone, "You seem to feel the same way. Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for too long that we have this feeling."
Fang Han smiled and said, "Maybe. That room hasn't been rented out yet, and your things are still here. Do you want to pack them up and come pick them up?"
He knew she didn't want him to know where she lived, and then said, "Or, should we have the movers move it?"
"I'll go over and pack up after I'm done with this busy period. Thank you for your help, senior," Gao Wen suddenly smiled and joked lightly. "I was too willful, so I left without saying goodbye and went on a trip. I'm having a pretty good time."
Fang Han didn't reply. His dark, deep gaze remained fixed on Gao Wen. His clear, bright eyes seemed to see right through her thoughts, and her carefully constructed facade was being shattered one by one.
Gao Wen's smile faded, she avoided his gaze, stood up and said hurriedly, "It's very late today, I'm too tired, I can't chat with you any longer, let's get together again next time."
"When?" Fang Han pressed. "When is the next time?"
Looking at the somewhat stubborn Fang Han, Gao Wen said vaguely, "Let's wait until I'm not busy."
Fang Han took a step forward, looking down at Gao Wen. He wanted to ask her if she was willing to be with him, since she had said last time that she would feel at ease and secure with whoever she was with.
With Gao Wen's disappearance this time, Fang Han understood his own heart even more.
He didn't just like her a lot, he loved her.
Upon seeing the empty master bedroom, Fang Han felt short of breath. He ran downstairs and searched for her, calling her number again and again, and uncontrollably calling everyone connected to her.
I just want to find her; I'm afraid I'll never see her again.
Fang Han suffered for as long as Gao Wen disappeared.
He kept watching her old videos over and over again, knowing she was doing well and that he should be at ease, but he still couldn't help rushing over as soon as he heard news about her, hoping to see her.
But not even once.
Fang Han had so much to say to Gao Wen, but seeing the unfamiliarity in her eyes, he held back and nodded, saying, "Then let's go out for a meal when you're not busy, okay? Consider it your apology for leaving without saying goodbye."
Gao Wen hesitated for a moment, but under Fang Han's gaze, she agreed, "Okay." After saying that, Gao Wen walked to the side, "I'll go back first."
"Hmm." Fang Han did not follow.
He knew very well that if he asked the question, they might not even be able to remain friends.
There was no reason to meet anymore.
He didn't want to accept this result.
After walking for a while, Gao Wen looked back at Fang Han as she was about to cross the road.
He's gone.
Gao Wen felt a little disappointed. Well, she had been so cold-hearted, barely paying him any attention anymore, so why was he still clinging on? Fang Han also had his own pride.
Isn't this the result she wanted?
That's settled then.
Gao Wen quickened her pace and walked across the street.
Where she couldn't see him, Fang Han stared at her figure, standing there for a very long time, until he could no longer see her, and he still couldn't bear to leave.
That night, both of them suffered from insomnia.
Fang Han took the necklace he hadn't yet given away and walked to Gao Wen's room. He slowly sat on her bed and stared blankly into space.
On the other side, Gao Wen sat up, leaned against the headboard, and patted her chest hard to suppress the discomfort of not being able to breathe. It was too uncomfortable. She couldn't sleep and really wanted to cry. She had to desperately suppress the urge to cry.
She felt like the plot was about to fast-forward to her anxiety and depression stage.
What pitiful cannon fodder, unable to escape the gears of fate.
Before she dies, she has to take care of everything. She has so many classes to finish, and her thesis is still due. She has to graduate smoothly, otherwise she'll only have a high school diploma!
