Gu Jin knew that she would definitely refuse. After all, what he had done was too much, and it was reasonable for her not to see him.
Gu Jin was silent on the phone for a long time.
"Okay, then take care of yourself. I'm going to hang up first."
After listening to this, Gu Wan hung up the phone and yawned out of boredom.
Chen You has been taking care of Gu Wan every step of the way these days, turning down many parties and work and staying in the manor.
Time flies, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is just two days away on August 15th.
Gu Wan made a special call to Gu Zhou.
"Brother, I won't be going back this year. Remember to eat mooncakes at home."
Gu Zhou was still busy with work. Gu Wan's reminder reminded him that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon. He looked through the documents in his hand and signed his name.
"Okay, take care of yourself abroad."
Gu Wan simply said a few words and hung up.
Chen You hasn't celebrated a festival for a long time, let alone a day like Mid-Autumn Festival when the family gets together.
"I'll go buy some ingredients, and we'll make mooncakes together at home."
Gu Wan was still very satisfied with Chen You. At least this man was knowledgeable, interesting, and self-aware, and could be considered a friend.
"Okay, but I have a feeling I won't make it to the Mid-Autumn Festival."
She could feel the changes in her body and felt really weak.
Chen You, head bowed, was sorting the ingredients. He paused when he heard this. "I don't care. You have to hold on until the end. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of my marriage to you?"
Gu Wan doesn't like to owe favors to others. Throughout history, favors are the hardest to repay, especially when someone like her is here to carry out a mission. She will never have the chance to meet him again.
"Okay, I'll just hold on for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Chen You doesn't like having strangers at home, so he does everything himself, including cooking and washing clothes.
On August 14th, Chen You started making mooncakes after breakfast.
Gu Wan vomited too much blood today, and she reluctantly took two painkillers.
The two of them worked until the afternoon and finally finished making the mooncakes.
Gu Wan took one bite and passed out.
Chen You held her hand, gently called her name twice, then picked her up and drove her to the hospital. He had already arranged everything for the hospital. From home to the emergency room, he had been very calm. But now, when he sat down to wait for the result, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He laughed at himself, it turned out that he was scared to death.
Chen Yu was sweating profusely at this time and was sleeping very uneasily.
In the dream, I was at my mother’s birthday party.
"Gu Wan, cancel the engagement. We are not compatible. Don't you have the self-awareness to do so?"
Gu Wan’s eyes were red, and she seemed very sad about what she had just heard, but she still refused, “I, I dare not, Grandpa Shen will be angry.”
Grandpa Shen is the best person to her and her last life-saving straw.
There was mockery in Chen Yu's eyes.
"Angry? You acknowledged your grandfather quite quickly. You're just an illegitimate daughter. Put yourself in your place." After saying that, he turned and left.
He stood by and watched, extremely anxious. After Chen Yu left, Gu Wan squatted down, hugged her legs and started crying. He wanted to comfort her but there was nothing he could do.
Finally, Gu Wan wiped her tears and walked out quietly.
In the second scene, Gu Wan went to visit her grandfather on Saturday, and Chen Yu was also called back by her grandfather.
When Chen Yu saw Gu Wan was there, his expression immediately changed to one of extreme disgust.
"Is this your purpose? You're using Grandpa to get me back? I was wondering why Gu Jin kept yelling that you're annoying."
Gu Wan seemed stronger than yesterday. She didn't cry, but her hands were shaking.
He really wanted to shut up Chen Yu, but no one could see or hear him, and he still couldn't understand why he, a well-mannered person, would say such rude words to Gu Wan.
"I, I didn't."
Gu Wan lowered her head and answered in a low voice.
Chen Yu sneered and went to the living room to play chess with his grandfather.
Gu Wan was cooking in the kitchen, but she couldn't help but tear up. She kept muttering, "Gu Wan, Gu Wan, you have to be good. You can't cry in front of Shen Yu, otherwise he will hate you even more. Don't cry, don't cry, even if it's for grandpa."
He stayed with her in the kitchen, and those tears seemed to drip onto his heart, burning hot.
This meal was the same as the one I had with Gu Wan at my grandfather’s house that day. It was really delicious.
However, Chen Yu in the dream was treated better than herself. Gu Wan even specially served him a bowl of soup, but Chen Yu avoided it directly.
"No need to be so attentive."
Gu Wan pursed her lips and said, "Oh, I'll drink it myself." Then she lowered her head and drank the bowl of soup silently.
Chen Yu had disgust written all over his face. Gu Wan was like a stain stuck on his body, which he wanted to get rid of impatiently.
But surprisingly, Chen Yu actually agreed to take Gu Wan back. Although Gu Wan didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth turned up and his tone became lighter.
He was very happy too, as it should be.
Mr. Shen was afraid that his grandson would be disobedient, so he sent the Gu family's car away early.
Just as he reached halfway up the mountain, Chen Yu stopped.
"get off."
The two words came out coldly from his thin lips.
Gu Wan in the car had a look of surprise on her face. She gripped the seat belt nervously and looked at the location. "But, my car is back."
Chen Yu stared straight ahead, still without any reaction, "Get out of the car."
Gu Wan still got out of the car, and then Chen Yu stepped on the accelerator and disappeared.
He watched helplessly. Gu Wan couldn't stop a car, so he walked alone in silence until dark. He finally met a kind person and arrived in the city, where he took a taxi back home.
But Chen Yu, Gu Jin, and An He Nuan were having a barbecue at home. They seemed to be chatting happily, but they fell silent when they saw Gu Wan suddenly appear at the door.
Gu Wan looked a little disheveled. After all, she had been exposed to the wind for a long time halfway up the mountain and had walked for a long time. Her hairstyle was messy and her carefully chosen skirt was dirty.
An He Nuan has always been hostile to Gu Wan. After all, she is the fiancée of the man she likes. When she found that Chen Yu was also looking at her, she stood up and ran out without saying a word.
Chen Yu immediately chased after him.
Gu Wan hooked her finger helplessly, lowered her head and was about to go in.
Gu Jin chuckled lightly.
"I really don't know why you still have the nerve to show up here. If Chen Yu and Sister He Nuan are in trouble because of your inability to meet the standards, I won't let you off the hook. You know I'll never go easy on you."
Gu Wan grabbed the hem of her skirt, said nothing, and walked in slowly with a dull look in her eyes.
He watched all this. Gu Wan must have blisters on her feet, but she didn't say a word and didn't explain.
In the dream, Chen Yu should be explaining to An He Nuan over and over again at this moment. There are only misunderstandings and quarrels between them.
He accompanied Gu Wan back to the room. Gu Wan cried silently for a long time, then took out the diary. Although she knew she shouldn't read it, she was too curious and only read that page.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it, Chen Yu. I will slowly stop liking you, but grandpa might be sad."
The page was soaked with tears.
It turned out that Gu Wan liked him. When did it start? He seemed to have never seen her in his memory.
The third scene.
Chen Yu and An He Nuan had just had a big fight, and after several days of social engagements, he fell ill and was groggy at home alone.
Gu Wan was asked by her grandfather to come and visit Chen Yu. She thought about it for a long time but didn't know what to bring. After all, she knew too little. In the end, she found a lunch box and stewed soup for an entire afternoon, knowing that he worked hard and needed some nourishment.
But no one came to open the doorbell after ringing it repeatedly, so I had to call my grandfather and ask for the password to the apartment before I could get in.
As soon as Gu Wan entered the room, she saw Chen Yu who had a high fever and wanted to quickly carry him off the bed to the hospital.
Chen Yu was not conscious.
Gu Wan coaxed him softly, "Chen Yu, get up and go to the hospital. You have a high fever, you must go to the hospital."
Chen Yu pulled Gu Wan's hand away. "I'm not going to the hospital. I'm not going to the hospital."
After all, Gu Wan was not strong enough to pull him, not to mention that he was very resistant. She could only rummage through the drawers at home to find the medicine box, found the antipyretic medicine and fed it to him first, then quickly heated up the soup she brought, and looked at the refrigerator where there were still quite a few vegetables, probably filled by her assistant, and started to cook porridge again.
Then she stayed by Shen Yu's bed, changing his towel all the time until his fever subsided and he no longer frowned when he slept. Only then did she feel relieved. Because she was too tired, she also fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
When Chen Yu woke up, he first looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. He felt weak and hungry. He turned around and saw Gu Wan lying on the side of the bed.
Gu Wan was not sleeping very deeply, and she would wake up almost as soon as she heard any movement nearby.
"Are you awake?"
Chen Yu knew that he must be sick, but he still looked at her warily, "When did you come? How did you get in?"
Gu Wan spoke briefly and prepared to stand up, but because she maintained this posture for too long, she lost her balance. Chen Yu could have supported her, but he avoided it and Gu Wan fell to the ground.
"I made some porridge this morning. I'll heat it up now so you can eat it. I'll also stir-fry some vegetables. You must be very hungry now."
She stood up and turned to leave.
Chen Yu closed the bedroom door and took a shower. When he came out, he smelled the fragrance of food in the room.
Gu Wan smiled and took off her apron. "Let's eat."
Chen Yu sat down and drank a mouthful of porridge silently. In the end, he finished the porridge and soup, and even the small green vegetables.
Gu Wan sat beside him with her chin in her hand and watched and laughed.
"Are you feeling much better now?"
Chen Yu nodded. He thought that Gu Wan might not be as bad as he imagined, but he still would not marry her. He had to make this clear.
"Gu Wan, when are you going to tell Grandpa about breaking off the engagement?"
The smile on Gu Wan's face froze before it even disappeared. She didn't want to mention it.
"Chen Yu, Grandpa will be sad. Can you please not mention it? Or wait a little longer. I, I won't affect you and Miss An. If you need to make it public again in the future, you can tell me in advance and we can cancel the engagement first, okay?"
She spoke very carefully, perhaps with a little hope in her heart. She was already satisfied to see him, but she really didn't want to make Grandpa Shen sad. Grandpa Shen was really good to her. From the time she was born until now, no one had ever been so good to her. The aunt at the welfare home said that between people, sincerity should be exchanged for sincerity.
Chen Yu frowned and reached out to ruffle his hair. "Okay, I care about Grandpa's thoughts as well. Let's make a deal. We'll still be an engaged couple on the surface, but you shouldn't interfere with my private affairs with He Nuan. Of course, I don't care if you like someone else or are with someone else. After He Nuan and I are together, I will cancel our engagement first and then make it public."
Gu Wan just agreed to everything in a daze.
The fourth scene.
When Gu Wan was in junior high school, she learned embroidery from a childless grandmother in the countryside. She has never given up the skill over the years. The handkerchief she carries with her is also made by herself. However, it accidentally fell to the ground and was picked up by a very knowledgeable professor who posted it online to find the person. By chance, Gu Wan also gained a small number of fans online. She also started to operate her own account and was liked by many people. She felt very happy and it seemed that everything was developing in a good direction.
It's just that she was not feeling well. She went to the hospital and was diagnosed with stomach cancer, which was already in the middle to late stages. If she received treatment in the hospital, she could only live for a few years. She locked herself in the room all day. Except for Aunt Liu who came up to ask her if she wanted to eat, no one looked for her, and there were no messages on her phone. It seemed that if she disappeared, no one would want to see her, but she had tried very hard to do all this well.
But she will not give up her life easily, because her mother is no longer with her.
Chen Yu felt very powerless in his dream. How could Gu Wan get stomach cancer? She was so young.
