The world seemed to quiet down all of a sudden, leaving only them, only her words and smiles, her breathing, her existence...
So true...
Li Yuner also noticed his stunned look and raised her eyes to look at him.
When their eyes met, he was stunned, but she responded calmly, as if she already knew that one day they would meet.
Nowadays, they are no longer what they were back then. Their youthfulness has faded away, and they have become much more mature and stable in this society.
She took the initiative to smile at him, curved her lips, and smiled as brightly as before, "Long time no see."
haven't seen you for a long time……
They haven't seen each other for a long time.
He couldn't even believe that there would be a chance to meet her again in this life.
Neon lights flashed, vehicles kept passing by them, and the road was like a silent river of lights, winding and flowing silently...
They looked at each other for a long time at a certain distance. Her calmness, her changes, and the child beside her made him unable to remain calm.
child……
The child calls her mother...
So is she married now? Whose child is it? Gu Tingchuan felt a bunch of doubts in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out.
He looked at her, stunned, until his phone vibrated, pulling him back from his thoughts. He took out his phone and looked at the word "wife" on the screen. He felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and he suddenly woke up.
They are no longer who they were before, and now he has a family.
He kept thinking about the phone. He put away the surprise and doubt in his heart, calmed down his emotions, then picked up the phone and told him in a few words that he would go back later.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yuner asked with a bitter smile, "Did your wife beat you?"
Gu Tingchuan didn't expect that she would ask this, so he pondered for a while and said a brief 'hmm'.
Li Yuner smiled, with too much reluctance in her smile, "I wish you happiness, Tingchuan."
She didn't expect that he lived so well while she was away...
Married, happy...
But she...
Li Yuner felt a little disappointed when she thought about her own experience. She held Rui Rui beside her tightly with one hand and said awkwardly, "Let's talk when we have time. I..."
"Don't you have time now?"
He interrupted her eagerly, not giving her a chance to escape. Seeing that she was a little stunned, he heard himself say, "Yooner, there is a cafe nearby, let's talk."
****
Inside the cafe.
Xiao Ruirui sat aside obediently and drank a drink. The little guy was wearing a black suit and vest, like a little gentleman, and he looked very cute.
Gu Tingchuan moved his eyes away from Rui Rui and looked at the woman sitting opposite him.
She has changed...
She has become much thinner and haggard, and she is no longer the greenhouse flower that has never experienced wind and rain.
Now, she was actually wearing pants? He remembered that she was the last person to wear pants.
With her hair down to cover the hard-to-see scars on her neck, she faced Gu Tingchuan's gaze and smiled awkwardly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
He wanted to say that she had changed...
Is his memory too weak?
Why do I feel that her appearance has changed so much?
Li Yuner seemed to know what he was thinking, and raised the corners of her mouth bitterly, "You think I've changed, don't you?"
A painful smile spread on her lips. She didn't want to think about the past. "I escaped from the fire and hurt my face. It took me a long time to recover before I returned to this state."
When Li Yuner said this, she picked up the bitter coffee in front of her and drank a few sips without frowning, and told the story of that year bit by bit.
It turned out that she escaped from the fire and was later rescued. She was lucky to survive, but she was burned over a large area on her body, as well as on the left side of her face, neck, and shoulders. If not treated for a long time, scars will form.
…
At first, in South Korea, Lee Yoona even suffered from depression. She thought that her family thought she was dead. She became like this, and living was meaningless...
I want to commit suicide all the time, hide in the ward all day, and feel depressed...
That was the most difficult moment she had ever experienced, and she felt scared just thinking about it.
She did not elaborate on who saved her, nor did she talk about the child beside her. Gu Tingchuan wanted to ask, but he read a bit of rejection in her eyes, so he just gave up. He felt that when the time came, she would naturally tell him.
"I just came back, and I haven't had time to go home yet." Li Yuner's eyes turned red as she talked about home, "Is my dad okay?"
Hearing this, Gu Tingchuan fell silent and his heart became heavy.
After she had an accident that year, because of the Gu family, the incident was not exposed. That year was the election year, and Gu Guze was facing an important moment. He always hoped that Gu Tingchuan would act more responsible, but something like that happened.
, and later let the police handle it. When they arrived, it was already too late...
If this matter is widely reported, it will definitely have an impact on him.
The police hastily closed the case, arrested several people, and included Lee Yoona on the death list.
The Li family and the Gu family have always had a close relationship. Uncle Li was an old military doctor who followed Gu Guze's grandfather. He suffered a big blow back then, especially her mother who was in tears all day long and later died of depression.
Seeing that he was still silent, Li Yuner choked and said, "I know what happened to my mother. Now, I am only worried about my father. He is my only relative."
"Uncle Li is okay. He just retired from the military hospital. Now he is at home every day and his health is fine."
Hearing this, Li Yuner could not hold back the tears in her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "He has always hoped to go home and rest after retirement, and now he finally got his wish."
"Yooner, if you go back and see him, Uncle Li will be very happy."
"Well, I want to wait until everything is settled before going back." He smiled bitterly and continued, "It's time to go back."
She has always been afraid of going back...
She was afraid of seeing her mother's gray head in the room. If it weren't for her, how could her mother die of depression?
When she learned that her mother was gone abroad, she even wanted to take her own life.
You need to stay in a claustrophobic space every day and cannot contact people outside. If the wound is infected with any bacteria, it will be more serious...
She also had to wear the depressing bandage every moment of every day to prevent the burns from forming scars...
