That night, after turning off the lights, Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng chatted under the quilt.
Lin Qingping, who was originally full of confidence, inexplicably began to feel a little worried. She grabbed Gu Juncheng's arm and asked, "You said, Zhiyuan won't really leave?"
"No." Gu Juncheng is now very confident, with Zhiyuan's call of "Dad" tonight still echoing in his ears.
Lin Qingping sighed, "It's hard to say. After all, she is my mother, and blood is thicker than water. Besides, what if Zhiyuan thinks that the Wen family is well off? They have a stepfather from Hong Kong, who wears a gold watch, a gold necklace around his neck, and gold rings on his fingers. His whole body is glittering with gold. What if Zhiyuan is dazzled by the gold? After all, he is still a child!"
"You're just imagining things!" Gu Juncheng said firmly, "I'm a descendant of a soldier, I'm not such a weakling!"
Before Lin Qingping could say anything else, Gu Juncheng said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will tell Zhiyuan everything you said and tell him that his mother said he was vain!"
Lin Qingping: …
"When did I say that?" Lin Qingping pinched his arm hard, "I'm just worried!"
"More?" a low threat came from the darkness.
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me!" Lin Qingping muttered, "I have to make some preparations..."
"Just prepare blindly!" Gu Juncheng said, but asked in return, "What is Granny Bear?"
Lin Qingping smiled, "It's a story that the elders in the village tell to comfort the children. If the children don't want to go to bed, the elders will tell them that Grandma Bear will come to catch the children at night and eat anyone who doesn't sleep. The children are all scared. Didn't your mother tell you such a story when you were a child?"
Gu Juncheng shook his head, thinking in the dark, "When did you become afraid of the dark? How come I didn't know?"
She is never afraid of the dark!
Since I was a child, I have to get up before dawn to work. How can I be afraid of the dark?
However, since he asked, she didn't mind acting a little coquettish.
She hugged his arm and rubbed her forehead against his arm muscles. "Yes, especially on thundering nights. When I was a child, my grandmother always said that it was Grandma Bear who came to look for children who didn't sleep with drums and lights..."
He was silent after hearing this, and held her tightly in his arms. After a long while, he said, "Lin Qingping, Zhiyuan is right. I am really sorry for you. I was rarely with you throughout the year. When you were scared, I was also absent. I am incompetent..."
Gu Juncheng couldn't finish his words because Lin Qingping covered his mouth.
She just wanted to act coquettishly, but she didn't expect that he would blame himself like this...
That won't do! He is the one who is going to carry out the mission, we can't let him worry in the front!
After she let go of his hand, she moved forward, kissed him, and pinched his face. "Silly boy, I was talking about my childhood! Now that I'm grown up, what are you afraid of?"
Gu Juncheng's eyes stared at her in the darkness, dark and bright. Suddenly he lowered his head and touched her forehead, "Lin Qingping, I should have known you earlier, when you were a child."
Lin Qingping chuckled, "What if you knew me when I was a child? Can you still protect me when I'm afraid of the dark?"
"Um."
A low sound gently knocked on Lin Qingping's heart, like a drop of gentle rain in spring, falling into the center of the lake, spreading shallow ripples, and blending with the warmth of the lake in the heart.
"It's not too late to get to know each other now." Lin Qingping put her hand on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, which matched the rhythm of his breathing, hitting her palm again and again, and also hitting the deepest part of her heart. "Gu Juncheng, I'm glad I didn't miss you."
Fortunately, God gave me a chance to start over, so that I can meet you again.
Her body tightened, and she was held tightly in his arms, pressed tightly against him, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
"Gu Juncheng, don't worry, I'm very strong. I've said it before, you defend the country and I protect you." Lin Qingping didn't forget what she wanted to say the most, "I might have done it when you were away."
This sentence may not make Gu Juncheng feel relieved. She could feel that he hugged her even tighter.
So she reached out and tickled his armpits and waist, but he was not ticklish at all and his body was still stiff.
Lin Qingping deliberately groaned in frustration, "Can't you just pretend and coax me?"
This sentence finally made Gu Juncheng laugh, "Just now he said he was very powerful, but now he's the same age as Zhiyuan, and he still needs to be coaxed?"
Lin Qingping said, "Gu Juncheng, of course I am very strong. I can carry dozens of kilograms of weight by myself and travel all over the country. I have the ability to open my shops all over the capital and the whole country. I can also support the whole family for you behind you. But, in front of you, I can also be a child. I want you to kiss me, hug me and lift me up high. I want you to carry honeycomb coal for me. I want you to paste window decorations with me. I want to do many boring and childish things with you..."
In fact, in her heart, she was already an old person who had lived through a lifetime, but as time passed after her rebirth, her mentality became younger and younger. She felt that she had adapted to the times in her heart and was a truly young woman in her prime, especially in front of Gu Juncheng.
As he listened to her, he combed her long hair with his fingers, and his warm lips moved on her forehead and hair. When she finished speaking, he whispered "Okay" and kissed her lips...
After a long while, he stopped and asked her, "What is lifting high?"
Lin Qingping: …
So, he just kissed and hugged you, but now he wants to lift you up high?
Lin Qingping leaned over and whispered in his ear.
Gu Juncheng: …
Gu Juncheng didn't say anything and just continued to kiss her.
What happened later is not important. For the two of them, the saying "a short separation is better than a new marriage" is really proven in practice every time...
Early the next morning, Gu Juncheng went out for a while. When he came back, Lin Qingping and his second sister had already cut the window paper-cuts, and Zhiyuan was writing couplets.
"Let me do it." Gu Juncheng picked up the window paper-cuts and called Lin Qingping over. The two of them pasted them while one of them watched. Finally, all the window paper-cuts in the whole house were pasted.
"There's also my eldest sister's room and my second sister's house. They all need a new look for the New Year!" Lin Qingping was still holding a large stack of cutouts.
The second sister was going to go with them, but when she saw how clingy her sister and brother-in-law were, she gave up and decided to just stay at home and prepare dinner...
Gu Juncheng took this opportunity to tell her why the Wen family insisted on taking Zhiyuan back. He had been away for a while just to find out about this matter.
