When Haiyao returned home, Gu Tingchuan hadn't come back yet, and there was no caller ID for him on her phone. She sat in the yard and waited silently, thinking about Xu Yizhong's words, and secretly thinking that maybe Tingchuan would not answer her call today and return late.
All related to grandpa's affairs.
Sit on the rocking chair and rock gently.
She held her cell phone in her hand, waiting for him to call her.
At this time, over there at the hospital.
Gu Tingchuan had just bought some things and sent them to the hospital. "I have already handled the hospitalization procedures for you. Do you want to tell Uncle Li about this?"
Li Yuner lowered her head and looked at Ruirui who was lying on the bed, "Just wait for a while, I just want to cure Ruirui now."
"Then you have something to eat."
He handed her the food, but she shook her head, turned pale, and weakly refused, "I don't want to eat, I have no appetite."
How could she be in the mood to eat...
Everything that enters the mouth is bitter and difficult to swallow.
"What can you do if you don't eat? Come on, for Ruirui's sake, you have to eat a little so that you can take care of the child." He sat next to her, opened the lid of the porridge box for her, and helped her take out a spoon and put it inside.
When Li Yuner saw it, it was her favorite flavor, and there was no ginger slices in it. Her heart felt hot, and she couldn't control her tears, so she fell down.
She was holding the box and her tears fell into the porridge.
He still remembers...
He remembered that she couldn't eat ginger. Ever since she was little, she couldn't eat anything with ginger slices in it.
When she thought about the past, her tears fell and she couldn't stop them.
As soon as she cried, Gu Tingchuan was stunned, "What's wrong?"
She shook her head, wiped away the tears on her face with her hands, and choked, "I didn't expect that you would still remember."
After hearing this, he reacted and smiled helplessly, "Of course, you caused a lot of trouble in the past because you didn't eat ginger. How could I not remember it?"
She burst into laughter and looked at him, "I don't know why I hate ginger so much. I used to have a lot of troubles with my mother over eating ginger. Now..." At this point, her eyes turned red again and she was choked with sobs.
.
Seeing her sad, he felt deep guilt in his heart.
What happened back then was all caused by him, and she was just the victim...
"Yooner, I..."
His throat was choked and he didn't know what to say to comfort him.
Yoona lowered her head and wiped away her tears with her hands, "I know what you want to say, and I also know that it's impossible for us, but do you know? I thought you were waiting for me, waiting for me wholeheartedly, when I knew you had
If you don't care about anyone else, I don't even have the courage to look for you anymore."
Hearing her words, he felt even more guilty and blamed himself, "I'm sorry for you..."
"I don't need to be sorry." She looked at him with tears in her eyes and interrupted him.
Looking at the embarrassment and apology on his face, she felt extremely uncomfortable and asked with a choked voice, "I just want to ask you, is it really not possible? Is there really no chance? Tingchuan, are you really concerned about the past?
Have you let it go?"
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, making him unable to bear to refuse.
But……
Gu Tingchuan could only look away cruelly, "I'm sorry for you."
The answer couldn't be more obvious...
They never have a chance again.
For the first time, Li Yuner tasted the feeling of being rejected by him. In the past, he agreed unconditionally to whatever she wanted or did, but now it was different. She wanted him to stay, and she wanted him to be by her side.
It has become a luxury wish.
Resisting the urge to cry, she nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "I understand."
Keeping your head down, suppressing your emotions...
Her appearance made Gu Tingchuan feel equally uncomfortable. He hoped that she would have a good destination and that she could live a happier life than himself...
However, she became unfortunate because of him.
His self-blame and guilt were like a cane, tightly wrapped around his heart and unable to escape.
"Yooner, I..."
"Stop talking." She interrupted him, forced a smile to face him, but her eyes were full of tears, and she choked, "I understand, I understand everything."
"You have your family. I shouldn't ask such questions. I...I was just confused for a moment. Don't be angry."
"How could I be angry?"
He will only feel guilty...
She looked away and said bitterly, "I will learn to let go of the past in the future."
She took a deep breath, clenched her hands tightly into fists to suppress the sadness in her heart, squeezed out a smile and said, "Go back, maybe she is waiting for you."
How she wished he could say to stay...
Every time she lost her temper and told him to leave, he would never leave...
But this time, he left.
He really left. She waited for a long time, but she didn't even hear the sound of his footsteps coming back.
******
Gu Tingchuan drove back, feeling solemn all the way.
As soon as I got home, I saw Hai sitting on a rocking chair in the yard.
He walked over and found her leaning on a chair, not noticing her approach.
When I got closer, I found that she was leaning next to me, asleep...
In his hand, he still held his mobile phone.
His heart was filled with distress, knowing that she was waiting for him.
He bent down slightly and looked at her sleeping face up close. Her long eyelashes were like butterfly wings, there was a faint shadow under the eyelashes, and her lips were slightly curled, as if she was complaining about something or angry...
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, knowing that she must be angry that he didn't come back for so long, and even broke the appointment, clearly agreeing to pick her up in the afternoon.
He couldn't help but reach out and gently touch her lips with his fingertips, but he woke her up.
Haiyao frowned slightly, opened her sleepy eyes, and looked at him confusedly.
When the person in front of her gradually became clear and it was him, her earlier complaints had long since disappeared. She took the initiative to hug him, put her arms around his neck, and murmured, "You are finally back."
She has been waiting for a long time...
When I felt sleepy, I wanted to lean on the side and squint my eyes to rest, but unexpectedly I fell asleep.
"Little Pig, you can fall asleep outside." He smiled and stroked her hair, his tone particularly doting.
Haiyao was dissatisfied and muttered, "You are the pig."
"Stupid pig! Stupid pig!"
Speaking of this, my eyes turned red...
Thinking that he didn't want to talk about something on his mind, and he was so anxious about his grandfather, he didn't tell her. He must be afraid that she would be worried and that she would take the initiative to find Xu Yizhong.
Gu Tingchuan didn't hear the sourness in her tone, so he sat next to her, gently pulled her into his arms, and held her.
There was a smile between his brows, and he tried not to let her see what was on his mind, nor did he want her to know about the company's affairs.
He is afraid...
Afraid that she would return to Xu Yizhong.
Gu Tingchuan turned his face to the side, kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Honey, I have something to do this afternoon, so I didn't call you."
"Um."
She responded, looking at the smile on his face, feeling bitter in her heart.
He must be very anxious...
But he didn't want to tell her.
Hai Yao hugged him, rested her chin on his shoulder, hugged him tightly, and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
"tired."
Hearing that he was tired, she quickly said, "Then let me go and take a bath and have a good rest."
As she said that, she was about to let him go, but he held her tightly, "Hold me."
"Liu Liu, let me hold you for a while, don't move, don't leave..."
"Didn't you say you were tired?"
"Well, I am tired, but holding my wife makes me feel less tired."
Holding her tightly, he wanted to rub her into his body. Holding her made him feel fulfilled and satisfied, and he would have the strength to continue walking...
After hearing his words, she smiled, and the gloomy mood just now was gone.
Suddenly I remembered the phone call just now.
She asked, "I called you at night and a woman answered the phone. Is she your secretary?"
He was stunned, "Did you call me just now?"
"Yeah, she didn't tell you?"
Gu Tingchuan frowned, fearing that she would know about Yoon'er's return and hide it, "Maybe she forgot."
At the moment, he didn't know what to say to Hai Yao.
That the dead woman has returned?
Will she have random thoughts again?
He didn't say anything, thinking about telling her when he would find a chance, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't have this chance...
When he wanted to say something, she was no longer there...
Hai Yao felt suspicious, distanced herself from them, and looked at him, "Really the secretary?"
"Um."
"It's so late and you're still with your secretary. Wasn't your previous secretary a man?" She pursed her lips and said with a jealous tone as thick as fine wine. The drunk Gu Tingchuan's heart felt like it was flying and he was so excited...
He smiled, "Are you jealous?"
"No."
Seeing that he was interested in her thoughts, she looked away and turned her face to deny it, but her face turned red.
He smiled and hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, "I'm jealous but I dare not admit it."
"I'm not jealous!"
"Okay, okay, I'm not jealous." He smiled, and that smile made her even more embarrassed.
Gu Tingchuan felt all the unhappiness in his heart disappear. He hugged her, kissed her ear, and said softly, "Honey, I'm going out of town tomorrow. If you want any gifts, I'll bring them back to you."
"Going to another place again."
"Can't bear to part with it?"
