Gu Zian lowered his head unconsciously, feeling that Xia Zhitang's gentle expression contained a thousand words. At this moment, he couldn't read the sadness in her eyes, but was inexplicably shy: "Sorry, I was just talking to myself."
He glanced at the hour hand that was about to point to the number 3, and was a little surprised at how quickly time passed.
"Let's go to sleep." Gu Zian chose the latter between continuing to read the script and sleeping with his wife.
Xia Zhitang put his face against his chest: "Zi'an, you look just like when you were chasing me and taking notes."
Gu Zian subconsciously stroked Xia Zhitang's round shoulders, recalling his youthful self and Xia Zhitang, who appeared cold and distant but was actually extremely gentle.
Time flies, and several years have passed. After many twists and turns, he and she not only entered the palace of marriage, but also owned the most precious treasure in the world - Qingwu.
Gu Zian couldn't help but sigh, "When Xiao Qingwu grows up, I'm going to show her the notes I took. Anyone who wants to pursue her in the future will have to work harder than Dad did to pursue Mom."
"Are you chasing me?" Xia Zhitang felt that her sadness was blown away in an instant, and she couldn't help laughing in Gu Zian's arms.
"Of course not." Gu Zian playfully blew into Xia Zhitang's ear. "If it wasn't through asking questions, how could this be your first time?"
"You still have the nerve to say that, you deliberately made me drink?" Xia Zhitang reached out and twisted his ear.
"It was obviously you who drank it yourself." Gu Zi'an pretended to grin, "Shh, don't wake my daughter."
Xia Zhitang then withdrew his hand: "When is the interview?"
Gu Zian paused, his eyes drifting to the family portrait on the desk: "I haven't decided whether to go or not."
Xia Zhitang listened to Gu Zian's heartbeat and said, "If you miss Director Wang's play, there will be no next time. The script alone took two years to polish."
"I'll think about it again. Now I'll go back to sleep." Gu Zian's fingertips ran across the slightly curled edge of the script's title page.
"Zi'an, I'm at home." Xia Zhitang held Gu Zi'an's hand. "You looked so dazzling when you were chasing your dreams. Qingwu would be proud of you."
When Gu Zian received the news that he had passed the interview, he had just finished a parent-child swimming lesson and was sitting in the lounge watching the nanny help Xiao Qingwu change clothes.
"What's wrong?" Xia Zhitang had just stuffed his laptop into his bag when he saw Gu Zian looking at his phone and sighing.
"I passed the interview for 'Legend of Three Kings' and will be joining the crew next month." Gu Zian took his yawning daughter in his arms and kissed her soft face reluctantly.
"This time I'll be in the group for at least half a year, and Xiao Qingwu might be gone by the time I come back." His eyes were filled with reluctance.
"When she's older, I'll take her to visit the set, and we'll video chat more often when we have time." Xia Zhitang touched his daughter's little hand and kissed it.
"That's different..." Gu Zian said softly as he smelled the milky scent on Xiao Qingwu's body.
He had already missed Xiao Qingwu's birth, and now he was going to miss her growth...
At night, Gu Zian reluctantly stuffed the script, which was heavily annotated, under his pillow and said, "Otherwise, I won't go."
Xia Zhitang, who was sitting at the desk reading documents, put down the information in his hand and asked: "Why?"
Gu Zian hugged Xia Zhitang from behind, rested his head on her neck and remained silent.
Xia Zhitang reached out and stroked Gu Zian's cheek: "I was also afraid before I went to Tibet, but I still chose to go."
Gu Zian gently bit Xia Zhitang's neck: "Sister, I can't bear to leave you."
The slight pain in her neck caused Xia Zhitang to frown slightly, but her tone was still steady and gentle: "Zi'an, I know you are a great father and a very responsible husband."
In response, Gu Zian bit her harder and harder: "Why? Sister, aren't you afraid? Aren't you jealous?"
He held Xia Zhitang with increasingly force, as if he wanted to rub her into his blood and bones.
While Xia Zhitang was dazed, Gu Zian had already carried her to the windowsill.
"Zi'an, what makes you feel uneasy?" She stood barefoot among the clothes on the floor, looking confusedly at Gu Zi'an, who was obviously in a bad mood.
Amidst his tears of collapse, Xia Zhitang hummed softly, one hand supporting the glass on the windowsill, the other hand resting on Gu Zian's hand that was supporting her shoulder.
The dripping raindrops hit the transparent glass windows, and the broken water droplets were like Gu Zian's messy heart.
When the drizzle stopped and the shy full moon peeked out from behind the dark clouds, Gu Zian, who had calmed down, blushed and wrapped the two of them in a thin blanket.
He hugged Xia Zhitang with a guilty look on his face: "Why didn't you resist?"
Xia Zhitang gently kissed his Adam's apple: "I have always loved you."
Gu Zian lowered his eyes and grabbed Xia Zhitang's hand, pressing it against his beating chest. "This holds the Third Prince's ambition to conquer the world, and also holds Gu Zian's fear of being rejected."
"Then keep them all." Xia Zhitang pushed aside the bangs stuck to Gu Zian's forehead, and felt a little soft in her heart when she looked at him with eyes that looked like a big dog that had done something wrong.
"When I first met you, I felt guilty about my ex-husband, but at the same time, I was attracted to you." She could not forget the painful struggle at that time. "Zi'an, human emotions have always been complicated."
Gu Zian's lips trembled slightly, and he looked at Xia Zhitang with a complicated expression for a long while.
Xia Zhitang smiled and pinched Gu Zian's cheek: "Mr. Gu, you must create a classic."
"Sister, go on your honeymoon before joining the group."
"You can go on your honeymoon, but Qingwu can't go with you." Father Gu looked at his granddaughter who was drinking milk from the bottle, his expression as serious as if he was holding a meeting to give instructions.
"Dad, Qingwu is already 3 months old. We will bring the nanny with us. The hospital over there is also very close." Gu Zian tried hard to convince his overly nervous father.
"No, haven't you read the news reports? How good do you think foreign systems are? No, that's only good in certain hospitals targeting wealthy people." Father Gu felt extremely upset when he looked at his granddaughter who had grown from a little pumpkin into a big winter melon, and then at his son who was arguing with him with a stubborn neck.
"We'll bring emergency medicine." Gu Zian is very much looking forward to this trip for the three of them. "We'll take her out to see the sea in the morning and evening, and let her rest in the hotel the rest of the time."
"No, no, foreign countries are too far away."
In a fit of excitement, Father Gu slammed the table loudly, which scared Xiao Qingwu so much that his mouth turned down.
The nanny was quick to pat Qingwu's little butt and coax him in a low voice. Xia Zhitang glanced at Gu Zian and Gu's father who were still arguing, and took Qingwu and the nanny directly back to the baby room on the second floor.
Xia Zhitang played with Qingwu for a while with musical toys, and then the door was gently opened a crack. Gu Zian saw that Qingwu was still awake, so he walked in with an unhappy face.
"Didn't you win the argument with the old man?" Xia Zhitang handed the toy to the nanny.
Gu Zian pouted and picked up his daughter to play big airplane with her, which made little Qingwu kick her feet excitedly and giggle.
After interacting with his daughter, Gu Zian took the yawning Qingwu to the nanny and pulled Xia Zhitang back to the room.
"Pick a less popular tourist attraction in China?" Xia Zhitang suggested, seeing the unhappiness in Gu Zian's eyes.
"Forget it, the old man just won't let Qingwu leave Taipei." Gu Zian paced the room angrily, "I've never seen him control me like this before. I don't know what's wrong with this old man!"
"It's the relationship between grandparents." Xia Zhitang sighed. If his parents were still alive, they might be more concerned and dote on Xiao Qingwu than Gu's father.
"Why don't we secretly take Qingwu away?" Gu Zian suddenly walked around to Xia Zhitang and said, "Why should he control my daughter? Why does he give me orders?"
"It's nice to be alone together." Xia Zhitang poked Gu Zian's bulging cheeks. "We can't play as much as we want while our daughter is here. Let Dad take care of Qingwu, and let Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen have a long vacation."
"Hmph, that's right. Let the old man do the enlightenment. Doesn't he always nag us about not reading the Three Character Classic to her? Let him do it himself!" Gu Zian said gritting his teeth.
"Let Dad take her to Qingwu's parent-child swimming class. The nanny and the teacher are here, so Dad can do it." Xia Zhitang couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the scene of Chairman Gu taking his granddaughter to swim.
"Yes, since you won't let us take the baby out, just take good care of the baby in Taipei!" Gu Zian felt better instantly.
He cheered himself up and began to plan his itinerary while typing on his computer and tapping on his mobile phone.
"Want to go to the museum?" Gu Zian found the largest museum in the area, built halfway up a mountain. "The scenery is beautiful, and it has a collection of oil paintings and local cultural relics."
"Okay." Xia Zhitang looked at Gu Zian who finally smiled, but inexplicably thought of the script of "The Legend of Three Kings" in his heart.
Gu Zian will play the third prince who lost his mother at a young age and grew up with palace maids. In the film, he calls the palace maids "sister".
The days after Qingwu was born were busy and warm, making Xia Zhitang somewhat forget the two-year agreement they had signed before.
However, the emergence of this script created a crack in these seemingly peaceful days.
The "sister" in the play eventually became his concubine, and the roles of mother and wife were integrated into one.
In the drama, she always regards Sanwan as her only one, gentle, understanding, tolerant, and waiting...
Xia Zhitang couldn't help but sigh. Hadn't all the efforts she had made before been to leave a safe way out for herself and her daughter?
At least from now on, the result is no longer important, just enjoy the happiness of the moment.
"Wife, how is your English? Do you want to hire a local guide?" Gu Zian waited for a long time but didn't hear Xia Zhitang's reply. He turned around and was stunned.
He felt a deep sadness in Xia Zhitang's eyes.
"What's wrong?" He nervously leaned over and held Xia Zhitang's hand, "Why don't we take Qingwu with us?"
Gu Zian thought Xia Zhitang was sulking because his father refused to let Qingwu go with them on their honeymoon.
"No need." Xia Zhitang shook his head, and thought of a more reasonable reason.
"It's just that the thought of being away from her for five days makes me miss her a little bit."
She looked at Gu Zian's expression and added, "But I want to enjoy some time alone with you."
Gu Zian felt like he was fed a glass of sweet honey water, which was so sweet that he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
