She suspected that he hadn't even taken a bite of food and had been typing text on the translator and talking to her.
He said he just wanted to look at her...
Gu Xiaoai didn't understand whether he needed someone to accompany him because he had been alone for too long, or because...
"When I found you, you were being beaten by that man. I attacked him. By then, your face was swollen, your eyes were bleeding, and there were scars on your arms and feet." He continued talking alone.
, "I wanted to ask you at that time, are you really as happy as those entertainment news said?"
Gu Xiaoai's hand holding the chopsticks trembled deeply.
"Does your husband treat you well? I want to ask this too." He asked, before she answered, "But I can't hear a single complaint from you."
"..."
"I can't keep you." He said as he put vegetables into her bowl.
If the translator could add the tone privately, this sentence would definitely contain a sigh.
Gu Xiaoai lowered her head and ate her meal silently in the darkness, eating all the vegetables he brought.
She thought that he knew some of the things she did to leave here.
She was thinking of various ways to escape under his nose. She didn't think she had done anything wrong, but his words that night made her feel inexplicably depressed...
"From now on, I won't watch you every second. You decide everything by yourself."
After saying this, he didn't say anything anymore and just quietly picked up the food for her.
None of the fish in her bowl had fish bones on it.
That tenderness... was eerily familiar.
…
After dinner, he did not stand up and push her back. Her feet had improved a lot, and she could return to her bedroom smoothly as long as she followed the paved blind walkway.
Gu Xiaoai finally asked last night, "You are Chu Shixiu, right?"
No other man in this world would speak to her using such words.
She was answered by silence.
Then there was the sound of him clearing the dishes. I wonder if he took her question to heart.
She stood there for a long time, wanting to just take off the gauze, but in the end she didn't.
…
The sunlight in front of the window fell on Gu Xiaoai, who was wrapped in gauze. After he said that, he really didn't care about her anymore. It was the same at night. He didn't sit on the chair next to her bed and fall asleep...
She couldn't see it, but she could still feel if there was an extra person in the room.
She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she didn't take off the gauze all night...
She couldn't stay any longer. No matter what the facts were, she had to accept them.
Gu Xiaoai stood in front of the window, soaking in the sunshine. She raised her hands and loosened the gauze around her eyes. Memories rushed towards her -
"Ai Ai, Paris is the capital of art. Don't you want to learn directing? I will accompany you to learn."
"Welcome to...Gu Xiaoai's DreamHouse!"
"It doesn't matter. I have been waiting for nine years and I don't mind waiting any longer."
"Ai Ai, there is only nine years between us. Why can't we go back to our childhood?"
…
"With three words: Li Juefeng."
"Gu Xiaoai, I love you! I'm fucking in love with you! Did you hear that?!"
"Gu Xiaoai, I'm going to pick you up at the airport. Don't run around, do you hear me?"
"Gu Xiaoai?! Gu Xiaoai?! Let my wife go immediately! I won't hold you accountable for anything!" She suspected that he hadn't even taken a bite of food and had been typing text on the translator and talking to her.
