Chapter 196: Have you ever had a bad time?



"Gu Juncheng! You're not going to be jealous of a child, are you?" She said hurriedly in a hurry.

Jealous?

Gu Juncheng had never thought about this question.

He thought about it, coughed twice, and said, "You and Zhiyuan are getting along really well now."

"Of course!" Lin Qingping was still trapped in the memories of her previous life. She only knew that after Zhiyuan was released, he returned to Gujia Village. She didn't pay attention to whether he was with the two elders of the Gu family.

Thinking about it, she felt guilty towards the two elders of the Gu family in her previous life. The two elders were kind and tolerant of her, but later, she moved away from the county town and moved to the provincial capital, and she never went back to see them again...

"Lin Qingping."

In the darkness, she heard him calling her name.

"Um?"

"Have you ever had a bad time?" He looked at her intently, and ran his fingers through her scattered hair, stroking her scalp again and again.

Lin Qingping felt very comfortable being touched by him, and felt drowsy, just like the cat she had raised in her previous life, whose fur she often stroked.

Oh, yes, that cat. When she was seriously ill, she asked Zhiyuan to take the cat home and treat it well. She didn’t know whether her brother gave the cat to the owner.

It should be given, right?

Her brother doesn't like this cat...

As for whether she was having a bad time...

She is really having a hard time!

However, Gu Juncheng was asking about her before she was 20 years old, right?

After seeing her mother and brother like her, Gu Juncheng should have guessed what kind of life she had lived in the past twenty years.

But he didn't know that she was a bad person in her previous life.

She has gone through decades of ups and downs, delivered lunch boxes in the snow and ice, and fought for a living among a group of hungry men. She was indeed successful, but every penny was truly her hard-earned money.

It's funny.

During her marriage with Gu Juncheng, she spent the Gu family's money lavishly. When she wanted to buy something expensive, she would always ask Gu Juncheng for money. But when she finally earned money, she was reluctant to spend it.

All the money she was reluctant to spend went into filling the bottomless pit of her mother's home.

He ended up being alone and helpless.

The only company he had was the cat he kept in his later years.

Gu Juncheng questioned her why she never told him no matter what happened and had to handle it all by herself.

That's because she has been used to it for decades...

Who can bear it for her? Only herself.

Whether it was business or life, from big things like business failure and poverty to small things like broken light bulbs and leaking water pipes, she had to shoulder all of it by herself. Not only did she have to shoulder her own life, but she also had to shoulder the entire family, and the endless demands and requests from her mother and her brother...

I have never had anyone to rely on, and I am used to not relying on anyone.

Maybe, it's her retribution?

Who made her not cherish it when she had it?

She smiled, her eyes a little wet, and in Gu Juncheng's arms, she gently scratched his vest with her fingers, "Gu Juncheng, I live a good life with you."

She lay in his arms, unable to see his expression, but only felt his arms hugging her tightly, and then his soft lips whispered in her ear, "In the future, things will be better."

"Hmm..." It will definitely get better! "Gu Juncheng, are you leaving early tomorrow morning again?"

He usually goes back to school on Sunday night. If he takes a day off, he will go very early the next day to do morning exercises. Every time she wakes up, he is not by her side.

Gu Juncheng paused, "Yes..."

"It's okay." Lin Qingping put her hand over his mouth. "I don't mean anything else. When you leave, can you please call me? Just tell me once. Although I may not wake up, I can hear you."

"Okay." He agreed, and continued to run his fingers through her hair. "Go to sleep. Aren't you tired?"

"Yeah." She had been drowsy for a long time, and under the massage of his fingers, she was even more sleepy. In a daze, she said vaguely, "Gu Juncheng, I once had a cat. It was called Chengzi..."

Gu Juncheng's fingers paused slightly in her hair.

The next day, Gu Jun had to go back to school before dawn. After getting dressed, he stood beside the bed. Lin Qingping was sleeping soundly, hugging the pillow he had slept on, with her cheeks rosy from her sleep.

He hesitated for a moment, but still bent down and kissed her on the face, "Lin Qingping, I'm back to school."

As a result, with a "slap" sound, she slapped him in the face in her sleep.

"Mosquito!" she muttered with her eyes closed.

He covered his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Didn’t he agree that he could hear him?

He stood up, closed the door gently, and went out.

He didn't expect that someone at school would look for him today.

Because he assisted the police in cracking a case of privately-run casinos and gang-related cases, the police will collect further evidence and conduct investigations in the future, and he will be rewarded again for his meritorious service.

When Lin Qingping got up, she was confused again: Did Gu Juncheng leave quietly again? Didn't he wake her up as promised?

Downstairs, Zhiyuan was eating noodles. Sister Zhao was waiting for him and would take Zhiyuan and Xiaomai to kindergarten together in a while.

Xiaomai didn't look well. There was a bowl of noodles in front of him, but he didn't eat a single bite.

"What's wrong, Xiaomai?" Lin Qingping came down and asked her.

"I don't want to eat..." Xiaomai said in a low voice.

Zhiyuan, who was concentrating on eating noodles, suddenly said, "If you don't eat well, you will be punished by standing in a circle!"

What Zhiyuan was pointing at was the circle that Gu Juncheng had drawn yesterday and where Lin Qingping had stood.

Lin Qingping: ??? What are you talking about, you little brat?

Sister Zhao didn't know the story behind this, and asked in surprise, "What is this circle? I was just about to erase it!"

"Don't wipe it, don't wipe it." Zhiyuan said, "If you wipe it, next time my mother does something wrong, Uncle Gu will punish her by making her stand in a circle!"

"You little brat! What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Qingping couldn't stand it anymore.

Sister Zhao couldn't help laughing, "What? What is this?"

Zhiyuan stole a glance at Lin Qingping and said quickly, "It was my uncle Gu who punished my mom to stand at attention! She stood here for half an hour last night!"

Sister Zhao was so amused that she doubled over with laughter. "Oh, this is so funny. Qingping, what did you do to make Captain Gu punish you to stand for half an hour?"

"You are listening to Zhiyuan's nonsense!" Lin Qingping picked up a feather duster and rushed towards Zhiyuan, "You little bastard, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Zhiyuan screamed and ran around the room, "Help, my mom is going to beat me!"

"If I don't beat him for three days, he'll tear off the roof!" Lin Qingping didn't really hit him, he was just trying to scare him. After chasing him for a while, he said hatefully.

Xiaomai looked at this scene and smiled.

Since then, the joke about Lin Qingping standing in a circle at home has spread. Even Gu Youlian would remind her brother when she saw him coming back, "Don't make Pingzi stand in a circle all the time! She's not your soldier! How can you treat your wife like a soldier?"
