Chapter 109: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character in the Love Story (Complete)
And why Gu Wan didn't get together with Chen Xiu, these things made too many people curious.
Gu Wan continued to work peacefully as usual and never contacted Zhou Xiao again. A month later, she saw Zhou Xiao again in his home gallery. A batch of paintings had just been delivered. His mother was traveling abroad, so she was temporarily in charge.
Zhou Xiao had lost a lot of weight. Wearing a black windbreaker, he strode in front of Gu Wan.
"Long time no see." The voice was hoarse.
Gu Wan was wearing high heels. She looked up at him generously and smiled brightly.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Zhou Xiao glanced at the gallery and said, "I came here to look at paintings today, and I didn't expect to run into you."
Gu Wan stood side by side with him and expressed her concern for him.
"Are you okay? Miss Yang came to see me."
Zhou Xiao knew about that incident, and the more he knew about it, the more humble he felt in front of Gu Wan.
"I thought you were with Brother Xiu."
Gu Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother Xiu and I are just ordinary friends."
Zhou Xiao thought he had adjusted himself in the past month, but he was still moved when he saw Gu Wan again. Didn’t he come to the gallery today thinking about whether he could see her again?
"Gu Wan, can you give me another chance?"
Gu Wan hummed in surprise, blinked at him, and sighed slightly.
"Zhou Xiao, you should let it go." Persuaded him.
Zhou Xiao didn't want to let go, and he didn't know how to let go.
"Gu Wan, give me a chance to like you." He didn't feel that this was humble at all. It was a good thing to bravely pursue one's love.
Gu Wan took a step back.
"Zhou Xiao, since you think so, I agree, but we may not end up together."
Zhou Xiao's eyes were full of smiles, and he seemed a little unbelievable, "Really?" He asked repeatedly to confirm.
Gu Wan nodded, "I can let you slowly get to know me and pursue me, but Zhou Xiao, you must remember that love cannot be forced."
Zhou Xiao nodded vigorously, he knew it.
“It’s great just to have this opportunity.”
A useless text message came on Gu Wan's phone. She looked down and said, "Then let's contact each other later. I have to go to the back to be busy." After saying that, she smiled and waved at Zhou Xiao, then turned and left.
Zhou Xiao smiled like a child.
Gu Wan's expression changed after she turned around and left, with a hint of sarcasm. She was not a good person, and the best way to punish others was to treat them in their own way.
Zhou Xiao met Gu Wan, and was secretly photographed by two young girls who came to the gallery and posted the photos online.
This time it’s about a dating show, and it’s the first time they were filmed meeting again.
The caption reads, "Zhou Xiao and Gu Wan had a great chat."
It immediately became one of the top trending searches.
Netizens also began to make various comments.
"My Xiaowan CP is real, I'm going to cry."
"Really? It's been a long time since we last met. Gu Wan is still as beautiful as ever, and Zhou Xiao is still as handsome as ever."
"Fuck you, how did they manage to look better than on the show?"
…
Everyone was speculating, but there was really no response online until Zhou Xiao posted a new message on Weibo in the evening.
"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern."
For a time, Zhou Xiao pushed the matter to the hot search again.
Chen Xiu worked overtime all day today, and was reminded by his brother after the meeting in the evening.
"No, Boss, my sister-in-law won't run away, will she?"
Chen Xiu took the phone and his brows furrowed as he looked at it. This shouldn't be the case. Gu Wan would not agree to him.
"Just focus on your work." His tone was firm.
I just think Brother Xiu is worthy of being Brother Xiu, he is not afraid of this.
Chen Xiu went into his office, turned on his phone, and kept looking at the messages on it and the updates posted by Zhou Xiao. He knew everything that had happened in the meantime, and he and Gu Wan were really a good match for each other in this month.
Gu Wan was drawing. When she heard her cell phone ringing, she put down her pen and pressed the speakerphone button.
"Brother Xiu, are you done with overtime?"
Shen Xiu hummed lightly.
"Yes, and you?"
Gu Wan continued to sketch the sunset on the canvas.
"I'm painting, it's fine."
Chen Xiu thought for a moment, "Why do you sound in a good mood? I just saw you on the trending search. Did you meet Zhou Xiao?" His tone was relaxed, with a hint of teasing.
Gu Wan knew it and agreed casually.
"Well, I know. Zhou Xiao asked me to give him a chance, so I gave it to him."
Shen Xiu gripped the phone tightly, "What opportunity?"
"The chance to pursue me." Gu Wan seemed to answer nonchalantly.
Shen Xiu pursed his lips, "Then will you agree?"
Gu Wan looked at her own painting and was very satisfied, "No."
Chen Xiu just felt like there was something stuck in his throat, but now he feels much more relaxed. He doesn't want to know the reason or the cause.
"Very good, as long as you understand. I won't tell you anymore. My mom arranged a blind date for me, and I have to leave."
Gu Wan had been to his house several times and met Aunt Shen. She knew that she had been urging Shen Xiu to get married, so it was not surprising that she arranged a blind date.
"Come on, Xiu."
Shen Xiuming knew what she would say, "I will." After hanging up the phone, he continued to go to the meeting. There was no blind date.
Zhou Xiao began to pursue Gu Wan by giving her flowers, outings, and paintings.
Gu Wan has always maintained a hot and cold attitude. She can see that Zhou Xiao is happy because of her concern and sad because of her indifference.
How does it turn someone into a severely depressed person? She just wants to be penny-wise and pound-foolish.
After Chen Xiu came back from a two-week business trip abroad, he asked Gu Wan to have dinner with him. He ordered a private restaurant.
When Gu Wan arrived, he had already sat down.
"Brother Xiu, why are you here so early?"
Shen Xiu handed the menu to Gu Wan.
"Are you starving? Order some of your favorite food first."
Gu Wan didn't hesitate to order some food. "The place you chose is too far away. I drove for more than an hour."
Shen Xiu smiled, "The food here is delicious, you won't regret it."
Gu Wan frowned slightly, "Brother Xiu, if you have something to say, you can just say it directly. You can even treat me to a meal."
Chen Xiu didn't know when the frog in the boiling water would be ready, but he knew that now was the right time. He had always been confident, but in the past two weeks, he had not been by Gu Wan's side and was extremely lacking in confidence, even though he knew that Gu Wan would not agree to Zhou Xiao.
"My mom is really pushing me to get married, and I don't have any desire to get married. I can't really develop feelings for other girls either, so I want to ask you, are you willing to marry me?"
Gu Wan looked at him with wide eyes, "Us, two?"
Shen Xiu nodded, his face calm but very nervous, his hands under the table were so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Gu Wan thought for a moment, and realized that getting married would be a blow to Zhou Xiao. She glanced at Shen Xiu again, and thought that Brother Xiu knew her situation, so he wouldn't suffer any loss this way.
"good."
Gu Wan is a person who puts the mission first, and she will consider other things secondly. Since it is beneficial to the mission, she will agree.
Shen Xiu didn't expect Gu Wan to agree so easily, and he concealed his happiness, "Okay, then let's set a time, and I'll come to visit uncle and aunt some other day."
Gu Wan didn't expect it to be so formal.
"It's all right. My parents are used to their freedom. They don't really care about these things."
Chen Xiu still insisted. Even though this marriage seemed like cooperation or a transaction to Gu Wan, for him, he wanted to give Gu Wan the best.
"It's okay, I'll get everything ready."
Gu Wan and Chen Xiu met each other's parents and began to prepare for their wedding. They first went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate.
When Gu Wan came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she saw Zhou Xiao with disheveled clothes.
Zhou Xiao's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
"You married him?"
Gu Wan nodded calmly, "Yes, is there any problem?"
Zhou Xiao was like crazy. The whole world knew, but he was the only one who didn't understand. "Me, Gu Wan, look at me. I'm pursuing you. Am I really not worthy of your looking back?"
Gu Wan took a deep breath, "Zhou Xiao, I like Chen Xiu. You are not comparable to him. I really think your condition is too bad, so I asked you to pursue me. I didn't expect to hurt you again. I'm really sorry. Now I'm married, you have to find your own happiness. Miss Yang is a good girl, you should be together."
Her tone was gentle but firm.
But in Zhou Xiao's eyes, she was ruthless and hurtful, and her heartlessness made it hard to breathe.
Gu Wan walked past him and walked down the stairs step by step. So this was the feeling. She walked towards Chen Xiu.
"Let's go home."
Chen Xiu glanced at Zhou Xiao, who was standing there motionless, and simply opened the car door for Gu Wan before driving away.
Gu Wan knows how to hurt someone, give him hope, and then extinguish it herself. Isn’t that interesting?
The next day, the director posted Gu Wan and Chen Xiu’s marriage certificate on his Weibo.
The "Xiu Wan" CP finally got together just like the Chinese New Year.
"I wish you happiness."
"You must be happy."
"Oh my god, I've finally made it. I found a real couple."
"They are truly the hero and heroine in a novel. Envy is enough."
…
Later, Gu Wan went home to see her parents.
Mother Gu chatted with Gu Wan in a casual manner.
"I heard that Zhou Xiao has a serious mental illness and has been seeing a doctor. What happened to this kid? Didn't you have a good relationship with him before?"
Gu Wan sat on the sofa and flipped through a magazine. "No, I'm not familiar with him."
Mother Gu didn't say anything else.
Zhou Xiao slept very uneasily at night. He dreamed of Gu Wan. She looked dazed and very sad. He tried hard to save her, but he couldn't open the door no matter what he did.
The author has something to say:
