Perhaps this title pleased Gu Qingyan.
This time, I didn't pester her much; she just gave me a kiss and obediently went to wash up.
Old-fashioned cleanliness freak.
I won't go to bed without taking a shower.
He came out wearing his pajamas, and Xu Zhaozhao even styled his hair for him.
She lay quietly on Xu Zhaozhao's lap, her gradually fluffy hair tickling her.
Fortunately, his hair was short and dried quickly.
She turned off the hairdryer and nudged Gu Qingyan, but he just wouldn't leave her lap.
His eyes were half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.
She patted his head and said, "Go away, I want to sleep too."
He reluctantly moved his head away and pulled the lying Xu Zhaozhao into his arms.
I fell asleep in that comforting atmosphere.
Xu Zhaozhao woke up after sleeping from noon until evening.
She had slept a little too much, and dared not leave Gu Qingyan's arms—aside from the effects of the medication, Gu Qingyan would wake up immediately if she left.
Xu Zhaozhao often suspected that Gu Qing had extended a third eye specifically to look at her.
He then turned to observe the sleeping face of the person next to him.
He has a very typical striking appearance, with thick eyebrows and eyelashes, deep-set eyes, and a high nose bridge.
His fair, glowing skin often gave him a halo-like appearance.
Xu Zhaozhao reached out and brushed away the strands of hair that had fallen beside his eyes, her fingers brushing against his long eyelashes, creating ripples on her fingertips.
Her mischievous little hand was immediately grabbed, and Gu Qingyan opened his eyes, looking directly at her.
Her eyes, which had just opened, were still a little blurry.
He placed Xu Zhaozhao's hand on his waist, pulled her closer to him, and closed his eyes again. "Baby, sleepy..."
He could only fall asleep without medication when Xu Zhaozhao was by his side.
Xu Zhaozhao smiled in his arms, gently stroking his waist, and asked in a muffled voice, "Gu Qingyan, when will you be done with your work?"
"What's wrong?"
He asked in a hoarse voice, then opened his eyes and placed Xu Zhaozhao's restless hand on his face.
It's the end of September, and their wedding is just over ten days away.
Her gaze fell upon two hands entwined together, the rings on their ring fingers gleaming, making her eyes sparkle as well.
"Gu Qingyan, after you're done with your work... let's get married."
Gu Qingyan's still somewhat bewildered eyes instantly cleared, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.
His voice was hoarse but firm: "I'll step down tomorrow!"
...
After lying down for a while, I got up and ate dinner.
If I lie down any longer, my pristine sleeping environment will be compromised.
While waiting for her food, Xu Zhaozhao scrolled through Weibo and discovered that the Holy Court had recently been embroiled in numerous scandals, including workplace unspoken rules, shady contracts, and celebrities having affairs.
What's scary is that all of this is true, it's just been hidden very well.
Yin Qi knew this purely because of his God's-eye view.
Fortunately, Gu Qingyan resolved the issues one by one, and the Holy Court's reputation was not significantly damaged.
After dinner, Xu Zhaozhao told Gu Qingyan about the invitation and the Lego figure.
He had the Lego figures packed up overnight and sent to the wedding venue.
Xu Zhaozhao was relieved only after watching the block figures being packed up and put into a special car.
After washing up, I thought I would have trouble sleeping tonight.
She underestimated her ability to sleep; the moment Gu Qingyan dried her hair, she shamelessly fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, Gu Qingyan was gone.
I opened WeChat and, sure enough, received his notification text message.
Little Pig: I'm asking for a day off from work today! [Striving]
I tapped my finger on the screen and replied with a message.
Shh: Good luck! [smirk]
After replying, he got up, not taking Gu Qingyan's words to heart.
How can you just ask for leave whenever you want?
After finishing her meal, Xu Zhaozhao picked up the scissors again and went to the back garden.
The carnations and roses that were planted earlier are blooming beautifully.
This idea also came to Xu Zhaozhao while she was moving the Lego figures.
How cool would it be to pick some flowers from your home to decorate the wedding venue!
Without hesitation, Xu Zhaozhao picked it! Just as she put on her gloves, Gu Yulin came to her side carrying Chunshan.
"Mom, I brought Chunshan to play."
It must have been just after class when Gu Yulin saw Xu Zhaozhao in the back garden, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He approached Xu Zhaozhao, put Chunshan on the ground and let it run on its own, while he watched Xu Zhaozhao cut flowers.
"Mom, who are you sending flowers to this time?" he asked.
"Mom gave me flowers!"
Xu Zhaozhao smiled and said, "The flowers at home are so beautiful. Pick some to decorate the wedding venue. How romantic!"
Gu Yulin agreed with her and nodded heavily twice.
She turned around and got her little gloves and scissors to help Xu Zhaozhao pick flowers.
The trimmed flowers were all placed in a basket, a vibrant mix of red and purple.
Xu Zhaozhao looked at the half-open flowers and was a little worried. "I don't know if the freezer will work. I hope the flowers won't spoil before my parents' wedding even starts."
"Mom, you can use formalin."
Gu Yulin replied naturally.
Click.
Xu Zhaozhao lost control of the scissors in her hand and cut a flower bud in half.
She quickly put down the scissors, her somewhat flustered eyes looking at Gu Yulin.
Why did the baby say that?
Gu Yulin kept his head down and didn't see Xu Zhaozhao's strange expression. He explained to her, "Formaldehyde-preserved specimens are very stable and can be preserved indefinitely."
“Specimens preserved in formalin are, in a sense… eternal.”
At least that's true for Gu Yulin.
Xu Zhaozhao remembered the ending Yin Qi had told her.
The bones of the three men were all preserved in the same jar of formalin.
Inside that little jar, the three of them are eternal.
He was surrounded by his parents... This is eternal.
This somewhat bizarre ending now has a reasonable explanation.
He found another way to be with his parents forever.
Xu Zhaozhao cried, Xu Zhaozhao cried again.
Her tear ducts have been overactive these past few days.
Gu Yulin was caught off guard by her sudden tears.
He didn't even bother to get any paper. Instead, he took off his gloves, stood on the flowerbed, and used his small hands to wipe away Xu Zhaozhao's rolling tears.
"Was Mom scared?"
Gu Yulin's voice trembled slightly, "I'm sorry, Mom, I won't say it again next time."
Xu Zhaozhao hugged Gu Yulin tightly and cried even harder in his arms.
I'm sorry, baby, Mommy is late.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
Meow~
Haruyama, who was originally catching butterflies, obediently lay down at her feet and rubbed against her calves.
Everything feels real.
