Chapter 68
Gu Hengsheng looked at her gently and said, "There will be opportunities in the future."
Gu Qingyue looked up, thought for a moment, and asked curiously, "Do you mean this literally?"
"What?" Gu Hengsheng asked in confusion. After a moment, he seemed to understand something. He lowered his head, smiled, and said, "If you understand it that way, that's fine."
Gu Qingyue blushed slightly and defended herself childishly, "I don't think that way."
This statement was naturally not very convincing. Gu Hengsheng smiled and did not continue the topic. He changed the subject considerately and asked, "What would you like for breakfast?"
"I'm not very hungry." Gu Qingyue said truthfully.
"Eat a little," he asked patiently. "How about a glass of milk and an egg?"
Gu Qingyue understood that he was giving in, but she wanted to test the limits of his indulgence. She shook her head and said stubbornly, "I really don't want to eat."
"You are too thin. I just hope you are healthy." Gu Hengsheng advised her gently.
Gu Qingyue said: "I don't eat egg yolks."
"Okay, I'll eat the egg yolk," he said.
Gu Hengsheng walked out of the bedroom and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Gu Qingyue walked to the bedside table and unplugged her phone. There were two missed calls on the screen: one from Gu Simin and the other from her landlord in London. Gu Qingyue called the landlord back first.
Gu Hengsheng turned on the faucet and was washing the egg shells. Seeing her holding her phone with a look of annoyance on her face, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"My landlord called and said he couldn't rent the house to me next semester and I needed to find another place," she frowned. "That means I need to go back to London sooner rather than later."
Gu Hengsheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll let Wen Kui handle this."
Gu Qingyue felt inexplicably relieved, and then reflected: "I think I seem to be a little too dependent on you, which is not good."
"Why do you say that?" Gu Hengsheng was puzzled.
"I don't want to be a giant baby in love." She said truthfully.
"It hasn't come to that." He smiled and said to her, "Besides, lovers should share their burdens. There are times when you rely on me, and there will naturally be times when I rely on you."
Gu Qingyue sat at the dining table, looking thoughtful: "Will you ever rely on me? I can't imagine what it would be like if you did."
Gu Hengsheng smiled and said, "There will be a chance."
Gu Qingyue shook her head, holding her chin with one hand, and babbled nonsensically, "You know what? You have some kind of magical power. Maybe one day you ask me to kill someone or prevent a fire, and maybe I will do it for you."
"You won't." Gu Hengsheng said with a smile.
"Why?" Gu Qingyue turned and looked at him.
"Because you are a smart girl." He brought a glass of milk and a boiled egg.
Gu Qingyue took a boiled egg and tapped it twice on the table. The cracks on the eggshell slowly spread out like a spider web. Gu Qingyue smiled and said, "Your recent words really make me happy."
Gu Hengsheng also sat down at the dining table. He picked up the cup, drank some milk, and cracked an egg.
Gu Qingyue placed the egg yolk on Gu Hengsheng's plate and said, "Tomorrow, I'm going to Yanjiang with my mother to visit Grandpa."
Hearing this, Gu Hengsheng looked at her and said, "Call me if you have anything. If I don't answer, you can call Wenkui."
"good."
On the day Gu Qingyue and her mother returned to Yanjiang, fortunately, no one else was in the old house. The old man looked much weaker than before, his eyes cloudy and lacking the sparkle of life. Gu Qingyue was already uneasy, fearing that if the old man saw her and learned of her affair with her third uncle, it would embarrass her mother. Fortunately, the old man seemed unaware of the situation and mistook Gu Qingyue for Gu Simin. He held her hand, exchanged a few words, and then, tired, wanted to rest.
When Gu Qingyue walked out of Grandpa Gu's room, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was really worried that Grandpa would ask about my uncle and me."
Mother Gu comforted her: "Your grandfather can't even remember anything now, so how could he possibly ask about it?"
Gu Qingyue nodded and looked at her mother again, asking cautiously, "Mom, didn't you hear anything unpleasant?"
Mother Gu touched her hand and said, "Qingyue, don't worry about me. I'm almost halfway through my life. What can't I see through?"
Gu Qingyue lowered her head and said, "I'm just afraid that you might hear something unpleasant and affect your mood."
"Don't worry, Mom's mood isn't easily affected," said Mother Gu.
Gu Simin came to Gu Qingyue with an embarrassed look on her face. Gu Qingyue knew what she wanted to ask and said yes directly.
Gu Simin curled her lips and said, "Do you know what I'm going to say? Why is it so?"
Gu Qingyue laughed. Ruoruo stared at Gu Simin generously and said, "Aren't you just asking if Third Uncle and I are together?"
"Are you really together?" Gu Simin stared in disbelief.
"Well, why would I lie to you about this?"
"Well, I never thought that you would be my future third sister-in-law." Gu Simin stammered. After digesting it for a while, she added, "Let's go out for dinner tonight. You treat me."
Gu Qingyue was speechless and asked blankly, "Why do you want me to treat you to dinner again?"
"Aren't you the third sister-in-law? Isn't it natural to invite your sister-in-law to dinner?" Gu Simin argued.
That evening, the two drove out for dinner, with Gu Qingyue driving. Gu Qingyue had gotten her driver's license before leaving the country, but she wasn't a big driver. Seeing Gu Simin settle into the passenger seat, Gu Qingyue reminded her, "Let me be clear, I'm still a novice driver. We can ask Uncle Yu to give us a ride."
Gu Simin sat in the passenger seat, her eyes fixed on the phone screen, her fingers clicking away, not even glancing at her. She said, "Don't worry, I believe in your driving skills."
Gu Qingyue reluctantly turned the steering wheel. It turned out that she really had a talent for driving. Although the speed was slow, she arrived safely.
The two planned to go eat hot pot. Gu Qingyue parked the car in the parking lot. They got out of the car. Gu Simin said with a smile: "See, I told you that you are a good driver."
Gu Qingyue jokingly replied: "Thank you for your appreciation of my driving skills."
Gu Simin climbed onto her shoulders and said with a smile, "After all, the one who eats someone else's food should be grateful."
As they approached the hot pot restaurant, Gu Qingyue's phone rang. It was Gu Hengsheng calling. Gu Simin also saw the caller ID on the screen and said, "I'll go in first."
Gu Qingyue nodded and raised her hand to press the answer button. Gu Hengsheng asked, "Have you had dinner?"
"Not yet?" Gu Qingyue turned to look at the store, then at the street, and said, "Simin and I drove out to eat hot pot."
Gu Hengsheng caught the point and asked gently, "Are you driving, or is Simin driving?"
"I." Gu Qingyue's tone inexplicably sounded a little guilty.
Gu Hengsheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell me the address."
After Gu Qingyue told him the address, in order to reassure him, she emphasized: "I'm a pretty good driver, don't worry."
"I'm just worried about your safety." His voice was still gentle.
Gu Qingyue had a puppy-like temper: "I'm not a child."
