Chapter 151 The wind on the rooftop is cold
When are you coming back?
Su Hengyi asked Shi Nianzhi again.
"What do you think about arriving in the capital on their wedding day?"
"I thought you would want them to get married."
"From now on, I will take everything that Gu Zijian wants."
Shi Nianzhi leaned against the bed, watching the television screen. His eyesight had been recovering since he woke up.
It's all better now.
Gu Zijian.
Shi Nianzhi uttered those three words with a casual yet playful tone, then slightly curled his lips:
“Since he likes being Gu Zijian so much, I’ll give him that name. I’ll let Gu Zijian know that everything he has is just charity from me, and I can take it all back whenever I’m unhappy. He doesn’t know when I’ll take everything away from him, whether it’s all at once or slowly. That’s what makes him so pathetic.”
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"There's nothing I can do to help. What do you think about your marriage to Gu Yuanyuan?"
The topic that Shi Nianzhi suddenly changed.
This left Su Hengyi speechless.
“I’ve knelt on broken glass before, and it really hurts. You might not know, but Gu Yuanyuan’s pain receptors are naturally sensitive, and he’s more afraid of pain than normal people. If you don’t intend to get married, you should make it clear to him. Although he seems very smart, people from the Gu family are all passionate, and they are prone to getting stuck in emotional dead ends.”
After Shi Nianzhi finished speaking, Shi Er paused, his hand still bandaged. He remembered that Shi Nianzhi had once knelt on the glass for him, and a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes.
Su Hengyi acted as if he hadn't heard, and stood up and walked outside.
Shi Nianzhi didn't say anything more.
Gu Yuanyuan stayed in his room massaging his legs, again and again. Although his legs were better, they always felt uncomfortable on cloudy days.
The door was opened.
Gu Yuanyuan thought it was the maid calling him to eat, so he stood up and said, "What are we having for dinner today? I don't want to eat Western food anymore, I'm about to throw up. I want to eat stir-fries."
Turning around, Gu Yuanyuan saw Su Hengyi come in.
For a fleeting moment, Gu Yuanyuan looked bewildered, but he quickly noticed the medical kit Su Hengyi was carrying.
His tail was practically wagging in the air. "You came to see me?"
Su Hengyi didn't say anything, but placed the first-aid kit on the table with a soft, not too loud, sound.
Gu Yuanyuan paused for a moment, then rushed over and hugged Su Hengyi's arm. "Ah, Brother Su, my face hurts so much from being slapped. Look, it's all swollen..."
He quickly covered it with his hand, saying, "Never mind, it's too ugly, I won't show it to you."
Su Hengyi grabbed Gu Yuanyuan's wrist, took his hand away from his cheek, and examined it closely. "It's a little red."
Gu Yuanyuan's eyes were full of joy, as if tiny flames were leaping within them.
He happily grabbed Su Hengyi's hand and asked seriously, "You're finally willing to talk to me? I thought you'd never talk to me again."
Faced with Gu Yuanyuan's emotions, Su Hengyi's eyes remained indifferent. He lowered his gaze, and his fair and slender hand slipped out of Gu Yuanyuan's warm palm.
Go to the first-aid kit and get an ice pack.
He handed the ice pack to Gu Yuanyuan, but Gu Yuanyuan stood there and didn't take it. He stared straight at Su Hengyi and said, "I can't see where it is. You take it for me."
"Noisy".
Su Heng picked up an ice pack and placed it on Gu Yuanyuan's lips.
Gu Yuanyuan shivered from the cold, but he didn't flinch. This was an ice pack that Su Hengyi had put on him; how could he dodge it?
He liked Su Hengyi so much.
Even if Su Hengyi were to stab him in the back, he wouldn't dodge; instead, he would act as sweetly as if he had eaten candy.
After applying ice for a while, Su Hengyi picked up a band-aid and put it on Gu Yuanyuan's broken lip.
Just as he was about to pull his finger away, Gu Yuanyuan grabbed it and gently kissed Su Hengyi's finger.
His eyes were so alluring, so seductive.
Su Hengyi remained unmoved. "Your leg is crippled because of me. If you can tolerate a loveless marriage, I will marry you and support you from now on."
Gu Yuanyuan never expected that this would be like a windfall falling on his head.
It almost made him faint with joy.
He forgot to react and just stared blankly at Su Hengyi.
In his mind, Su Hengyi's words automatically translated to, "Gu Yuanyuan, let's get married."
"good."
As if afraid that Su Hengyi would change his mind, Gu Yuanyuan immediately added after saying "okay," "When will we get our marriage certificate, when will we meet each other's parents, and when will we hold a wedding to announce to the world that we are getting married?"
Su Hengyi's two cold and indifferent words showed no joy: "Whatever you say."
Perhaps the moment he failed to hold onto Mu Guangcheng, he lost his entire world. Since it wasn't Mu Guangcheng, then perhaps it wouldn't have mattered who it was.
It could be Gu Yuanyuan, or it could be any cat or dog. If marriage is what Grandpa wants to see, if marriage is a choice that one must make in life.
Gu Yuanyuan was overjoyed, "The sooner the better! Tomorrow, we'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow!"
"Um."
Su Heng pulled his hand out of Gu Yuanyuan's palm and walked outside, his back looking so lonely for a moment.
Gu Yuanyuan leaned back in his chair, unable to hide the smile on his lips. His happiness radiated outwards, as if pink bubbles surrounded him.
Shi Er bandaged Shi Nianzhi's hand and said half-jokingly, "I remember you said back then that you wanted to marry me."
Shi Nianzhi withdrew his hand and paused for a moment.
"You know it's not fair for you if I marry you. Shi Er, you deserve someone better. Once I've dealt with Gu Zijian, I'll let you leave and find the life you want."
"I just want to be with you."
Shi Er knew that Shi Nianzhi had indirectly rejected him.
Shi Nianzhi shook her head. "You can't follow me forever. You shouldn't be anyone's shadow. You are just yourself."
Shi Er gave a wry smile. "Sometimes I really do have selfish thoughts. I hope you will always be the Shi Nianzhi who needs me. But I know that's very selfish."
Before Shi Nianzhi could say anything more, Shi Er put down his plane ticket back to China and left.
Shi Nianzhi took the plane ticket and placed it in his palm.
Lu Jiunian, we will meet again soon.
"Uncle!"
Gu Yuanyuan pushed open the door and poked his head in. His eyes seemed to hold tiny starlight, so bright that it was hard to ignore.
"Come in."
"Uncle!"
Gu Yuanyuan rushed over and lay down on the bed, hugging Shi Nianzhi's blanket and covering his face.
She chuckled softly.
"Su Hengyi said he wants to marry you?"
How did you know?
Gu Yuanyuan pulled the blanket off and looked at Shi Nianzhi.
Shi Nianzhi certainly knew, otherwise why would Gu Yuanyuan be smiling so happily? If Su Hengyi told Gu Yuanyuan, "I won't marry you, don't even dream about it."
Gu Yuanyuan is likely to smash things and throw a tantrum, and she'll probably cry secretly behind everyone's back.
Delicate and spoiled brat.
Shi Nianzhi reached out and pinched Gu Yuanyuan's face. "You really want to marry Su Hengyi that badly? You don't understand that forced marriages are never sweet?"
"If it's my melon, it's not sweet, it's not sweet."
"Su Hengyi doesn't love you."
He will love me.
Gu Yuanyuan rolled over, lay on the bed, propped his chin up, and then looked down and laughed like a fool.
Then, thinking he looked very cool, he tossed his hair and said with a sweet smile, "I'm so likable, everyone will like me after spending time with me."
"You seem to have some misunderstanding about yourself?"
"I don't care. I understand marriage first, love later. Someone as cold as Su Hengyi, he might not be interested, but as long as I try to be seductive and trick him into looking at me once, just once, he will definitely fall for me."
Gu Yuanyuan was engrossed in his plan, chattering on and on, making it impossible for Shi Nianzhi to get a word in edgewise when she tried to say something unpleasant.
Finally, Gu Yuanyuan got very tired and fell asleep hugging Shi Nianzhi's pillow.
Shi Nianzhi looked at Gu Yuanyuan's sleeping face, reached out, and took the blanket to cover Gu Yuanyuan.
She murmured, "No amount of persuasion will help. You won't know the pain of love until you're covered in wounds."
Shi Nian got out of bed and went to sleep in Gu Yuanyuan's room.
The next day, before Gu Yuanyuan had even woken up, Shi Nianzhi and Shi Er set off to return to China.
Lu Jiunian's wedding was held as scheduled, and the banquet was grand and eye-catching, with all the prominent people in the capital attending.
The wedding banquet is about to begin.
A very important part of the wedding banquet was that Lu Jiunian and Gu Zijian signed the marriage agreement together.
This is also Lu Jiunian's greatest sincerity to Gu Zijian. According to this agreement, once Lu Jiunian and Gu Zijian divorce, half of Lu Jiunian's property will belong to Gu Zijian.
Regardless of the reason for the divorce, even if Gu Zijian is at fault.
A popular singer performed as part of the wedding warm-up.
The screen displayed the couple's wedding photos, and the music gradually faded, signaling the start of the wedding ceremony.
Lu Jiunian's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Shi Nianzhi's number.
He hesitated for a moment, but answered anyway, "Call me two hours later and I'll come find you."
"Lu Jiunian, this is the last time I'm calling you. I won't bother you anymore."
Lu Jiunian gripped his phone tightly. "Where are you? I'll send someone to find you."
"Lu Jiunian, did you ever love me? If we set aside your responsibility to Gu Zijian, tell me, did you love me?"
A loud gust of wind came from Shi Nianzhi's side.
When Lu Jiunian first heard Shi Nianzhi ask this question, his heart suddenly stopped beating for a moment.
Do you think of him when you love him? If you set aside your responsibility to Gu Zijian.
The answer in my heart was already obvious.
He loves him.
Then he heard the whispers from Shi Nianzhi's side, and Lu Jiunian panicked. He took his phone and went to a quiet place, then gritted his teeth.
"Shi Nianzhi, where are you? Tell me where you are."
Shi Nianzhi's voice was very soft, so soft it seemed like it would disappear in the next second, "I'm on the rooftop, the 40th floor rooftop. The weather is very nice today, but the wind is strong. I'm sitting here, and it's a bit cold."
Lu Jiunian walked outside without paying attention, even as his assistant's anxious voice said in his ear, "Third Master, the wedding has started. Everyone is waiting for you. Where are you going? Young Master Gu is waiting for you!"
