So, he beat them up to vent her anger?
This...is impossible?
Not to mention her back then, even now, at this moment, she couldn't believe this was true.
What was the relationship between her and him at that time?
She didn't even know him!
But Gu Juncheng's attitude and expression meant exactly this!
"No, Gu Juncheng, how could that be? We don't even know him!" Lin Qingping was shocked. This could be regarded as one of the unsolved mysteries of her previous life.
He said in a serious and solemn tone, "I saved your life, how could I let anyone bully you."
It sounds so natural, like a proof problem, there is cause and effect.
Lin Qingping still found it incredible, "So, you later asked your mother and your sister to propose marriage?"
"Yeah." Just one word, nothing else.
Lin Qingping: …
"Gu Juncheng! Do you know what you are doing? Marriage is such a big deal, but you are so careless!" Lin Qingping was shocked, "You...just because you saved my life, you promised to marry me?"
Lin Qingping herself found this statement very strange and illogical. If one wanted to pledge one's love to someone, whether it was in an ancient opera or a modern TV drama, she should be the one to pledge her love to him!
Gu Juncheng was amused by her "promising herself to me", "It's whatever you say."
Lin Qingping looked at the ceiling, still unable to understand this logic. After thinking for a long time, he asked him, "Or did you hear it? Do you think no one wants me anymore?"
"Nonsense!" He quickly denied this.
She really couldn't figure it out, but she soon triggered another point.
If he heard everything those people said, wouldn't he have also heard the rumors about her and Yu Chengzhi?
"Gu Juncheng..." She became even more curious, "Did you...did you hear the rumors about me and Yu Chengzhi?"
"Um."
Still just a “hmm”.
"You..." Lin Qingping didn't know what to say, "Gu Juncheng, do you believe those rumors?"
"What do you want me to say?"
Lin Qingping: ??? Do you still believe it?
"Tell me the truth!" She said angrily.
"I'm telling you the truth, don't be angry." Gu Juncheng thought for a moment and said, "I'm not familiar with you. I don't know what you've done or how you live. So, I don't know what kind of relationship you had with him."
"So you mean you still believe the rumors?" Lin Qingping said angrily, "Then why are you here to propose marriage? I am already an unclean woman!"
Gu Juncheng sighed and looked at her in surprise, "What does it have to do with you?"
"What...what?" What do you mean, what does it have to do with her? She is the heroine...
"Even if something really happened between you and him, it only means that he was the one who abandoned you after having sex with you. It was she who hurt you. He was the one who had no discipline and no morals. What does it have to do with you? You are the victim!"
Lin Qingping stared at the ceiling blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
She really never expected Gu Juncheng to say such a thing.
How should I put it? If she were asked to rate the answer, if Gu Juncheng answered "I don't believe the rumors", she would give him 80 points, but he gave such an answer. According to her idea, she would give him 99 points, and deduct one point for his stinky face!
Even decades later, not every man would be able to give this kind of answer, not to mention that it is only the 1980s now.
"Angry?"
She didn't speak for a long time, so he had to ask.
"I've already told you that you'll get angry if I tell you the truth, but you insist on asking me to tell you. You're not..."
"Go to bed!" She didn't say anything else, nor did she chase him away.
"Are you really angry?" he continued to ask.
"Haven't you ever been angry with me enough?" She turned around and faced away from him.
The person behind me finally stopped moving.
In the sultry air, the only sound was the slight roar of the fan.
"When was there a time when I saw you that I wasn't hurt?"
The words echoed in her ears.
It turns out that this sentence can still be found in this memory.
That time, she was also injured when she was struggling with those men. Did he see it all?
"Lin Qingping..."
He called after her, not sure if he wanted to explain.
"Tell me where you are from and what it's like there?" Lin Qingping interrupted him.
He was slightly startled, obviously this turn was very abrupt.
"Pick out what you can say and tell me. I don't want to know what you have to keep secret." Her voice did not sound warm or soft amid the sound of the fan.
He thought for a moment and said, "An island, covered with trees, built from scratch. When I first went there, there was almost nothing. Now, it has been built to take shape, but... it is still an island. It is surrounded by endless water and waves. It is very lonely and makes humans seem very insignificant."
"Gone?" What's the difference between this description and not saying anything?
"Well, that's about it. There are also..." He paused for a moment, "some small animals, such as birds and snakes..."
"Okay, stop." Although Lin Qingping was born in the countryside, the fear of snakes is ingrained in her bones. In her previous life, she was so afraid of snakes that when she saw a snake on her phone, she wanted to throw the phone away. Now, she didn't want to hear these words anymore.
Gu Juncheng smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Lin Qingping slept very chaotically that night. Sometimes she dreamed that in her previous life, she was stopped by a few village bullies who wanted to molest her and cursed her with all kinds of dirty words. The villagers all around her were laughing at her, laughing at her for being shameless and for being a hooligan with gay men. Sometimes she dreamed that Gu Juncheng rushed out of the crowd to save her, beat up those village bullies, and ran away holding her hand.
As they ran, they came upon a huge island, which was covered with flowers and flying seagulls. However, before the two could catch their breath, countless snakes swarmed out.
Lin Qingping was tense, jumping, and screaming. She hung on him, hugged his neck tightly, and shouted "Help" while cursing at him. "Gu Juncheng, where did you take me to?"
"Lin Qingping, Lin Qingping!" Someone was calling her name and patting her on the back.
In her eyes, she only saw snakes on all sides and under her feet.
"Lin Qingping!"
Finally, a loud shout woke her up from her dream.
She was dazed and found herself lying on Gu Juncheng, with her hands tightly around his neck.
"I...how did I..." How did she fall to the ground?
"What did you dream about?" He looked right at her face. "You cried."
"I..." She was still frightened, the scenes in the dream still lingered in her mind, and her emotions continued to collapse. "I... Gu Juncheng, are there really snakes on the island?"
Gu Juncheng: …
I actually dreamed about this?
"Yes." He didn't hesitate.
Lin Qingping was about to collapse again, "Well, you're not afraid, right?"
