Could it be that she regrets agreeing to marry him?
The moment this thought entered Gao Hongyuan's mind, he felt a sense of panic, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.
Seeing the couple who were about to get married in this state, Chen Shuning was both annoyed and amused.
The day after Gao Hongyuan found her, he took the wedding gift she had prepared for Gu Xinyi—a mirror with the image of a great man printed on it—to Gu Xinyi's room.
In truth, Gu Xinyi had prepared everything in her room. They had watches and bicycles, and neither of them lacked anything. Besides, even though they were very good friends, they didn't give each other anything too expensive. After all, they were just ordinary educated youth sent to the countryside, and giving them something too heavy would be too much.
So Chen Shuning didn't know what to give her, so he looked around and found that Gu Xinyi's room seemed to be missing a mirror, so he went to the town's supply and marketing cooperative and bought a mirror as a wedding gift.
Thus, Chen Shuning appeared at Gu Xinyi's door early in the morning carrying a mirror.
Chen Shuning was genuinely startled when he saw Gu Xinyi standing behind the door.
It had only been two or three days since I last saw her. What had this woman gone through? Her face was as pale as paper, and with those two dark panda eyes, she looked exactly like an Eastern version of a vampire!
Even a zombie probably looks better than her!
"Shuning, what brings you here?" Gu Xinyi saw Chen Shuning as soon as she opened the door, but she didn't bother to exchange pleasantries. She just said this weakly and then slumped her shoulders like a deflated balloon.
Chen Shuning didn't care about any of that. Without saying a word, she grabbed Gu Xinyi's hand and pulled her into the house, closing the door behind her.
Tomorrow is the wedding day, and if others see the bride-to-be looking like this, who knows what kind of nasty rumors will spread!
If everyone thinks that Gao Hongyuan forced this marriage, then that won't be good.
Once inside the house, Chen Shuning immediately transformed into a gentle and considerate older sister, approaching Gu Xinyi with concern and asking, "Xinyi, what's wrong with you?"
You're about to become a bride, how did you end up like this? Tell your sister what's bothering you, don't keep it bottled up inside.
Gu Xinyi rolled her eyes, glared at Chen Shuning, and said in a soft, weak voice, "What sister? You're actually a year younger than me, you should say I'm your older sister."
Seeing that this girl still had the mind to worry about how to address him, Chen Shuning felt a little more at ease, as long as she hadn't lost her mind.
She quickly replied, "Okay, okay, you're my older sister, my dear older sister."
But seriously, sister, you're getting married tomorrow! Look at yourself! What happened? How did you end up looking like this?
As she spoke, Chen Shuning held up the mirror in her hand and placed it in front of Gu Xinyi so that she could see her current appearance.
Speaking of which, Gu Xinyi's room really doesn't even have a single mirror.
Gu Xinyi usually washes up in the bathroom of the Space Supermarket, since it has hot water and a drainage system, which is much more convenient than outside. Therefore, Gu Xinyi has never prepared a mirror in her room.
However, during this time, due to her irritable mood, she had not entered the special space that she both loved and hated, which had led her to travel through time.
Therefore, Gu Xinyi had no idea that she had become so haggard in just two or three days.
Her hair was a mess, almost tangled, and her clothes were wrinkled. Most importantly, her face was deathly pale, with dark circles under her eyes.
This appearance was indeed somewhat frightening, and Gu Xinyi belatedly realized why Gao Hongyuan had been looking at her with such a pained and worried gaze these past few days.
She often looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. By the way, these past few nights when she couldn't sleep, she often heard people walking outside her window.
She hadn't been in a good mood these past two days, and she thought it was because, like before, the people next door were getting up in the middle of the night to shovel snow. Now that she thought about it, could it be that the person thought she wanted to break off the engagement and was afraid she would run away, so they were keeping watch outside her window in the middle of the night?
The thought of this possibility caused Gu Xinyi's anxiety to surge like a tidal wave.
As her wedding day drew closer, her longing for her family grew stronger.
She couldn't help but recall her childhood, when her father would often hold her and point to the tall osmanthus tree in the yard, telling her that as soon as she was born, he had buried more than a dozen jars of top-quality daughter's red wine in the yard, promising to take them out on her wedding day to entertain the guests attending the wedding.
Every year, her mother would carefully select many exquisite pieces of jewelry to give to her, and would always smile and say that this was the dowry she had saved for her precious daughter.
And her brother, even though he was in a foreign country, would always present her with a gift full of love and care every year on her birthday.
However, at this moment, she is about to enter the hall of marriage, but none of her loved ones who love her deeply are by her side.
The upcoming wedding is so desolate and bleak, with no diamond ring, no wedding dress, and not even a single relative who can offer sincere blessings.
This thought was like a sharp dagger, relentlessly piercing Gu Xinyi's heart day and night, causing her to gradually lose interest in the wedding she had once been so excited about.
