"Baby, I will: follow you like this, so you don't chase me. And don't be angry. I'm just afraid that those people will come up and do something to you again." He spoke in a concerned tone and a flattering tone.
There was a feeling of sullenness in Xia Baoer's heart that she couldn't get rid of.
I didn't think anything was wrong at first, but now that he said it, it seemed like I didn't think anything was wrong and it was really hard to get through. This feeling really makes people feel extremely frustrated and helpless.
"In that case, go and find a hotel nearby for me." She was in such a mess now and needed some help. He couldn't drive him away anyway, and she felt very tired, so why not rest like this.
"Okay, you follow me. I know where there are good places nearby." A doting smile appeared on Gu Xiangdong's face, but he didn't dare to be bold, for fear that she would get angry and ignore him when she saw it.
Keep it in the bottom of my heart, secretly enjoying it.
Xia Baoer saw it from the corner of his eye, but didn't tell anything. He walked up to her with a happy mood, and looked back at her from time to time, fearing that she might seem lost.
"You don't have to look back at me, I won't run away secretly." It was such a strange atmosphere. People on the roadside were watching, which made her very uncomfortable. That's why she gave him a depressing reminder.
After hearing this, Gu Xiangdong just smiled gently without letting her see it. Only he knew that he felt really happy because of her words.
Gu Xiangdong paid to take her up, but stopped outside the door and did not go in.
Xia Baoer thought about it and didn't ask him to come in, which was fine. He was self-aware and avoided a lot of unnecessary embarrassment.
"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
"No, there are instant noodles in there. I can just make them myself." Xia Baoer walked into the room and thought about it. She suddenly wanted to stop him, but finally gave up.
But Gu Xiangdong outside the door had been holding it in for a long time and suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go downstairs and buy you a set of clothes."
Well……
After hearing his words, Xia Baoer was stunned for a while. When she looked out the door, Gu Xiangdong had already disappeared. It seemed that he himself felt very embarrassed and took the opportunity to run away faster than a rabbit.
He was really like this sometimes, making people miss him a little bit. But that hurdle and the matter of her brother would never be left in her heart without a trace.
At most, their relationship with the most bottom line can only go so far.
Sighing slightly, she walked into the bathroom and washed her face. When she saw that the hotel had prepared a bathrobe, she felt relieved and put the smelly self in the bathroom, washing away her exhausted body and mind.
When she walked out, there were several text messages on her phone, all from Gu Xiangdong.
It turned out that he really ran to buy her clothes. She opened the door and saw him standing reservedly outside, with a trace of embarrassed red on his face.
Alas, I felt a little funny in my heart, but I also felt that he... was a very complicated emotion, inexplicably moved and confused.
"I don't know if it's suitable for you to wear. I think you don't like those annoying colorful things, so I asked the clerk to help me choose this one." Gu Xiangdong handed the bag in his hand to her.
There are some really cute ones.
Xia Baoer was a little funny, and her whole little face softened a lot. She glanced at it and saw an imported fashion brand on the package, and something quietly clicked in her heart.
He must have spent a lot of money to buy this. Maybe he was used to poverty in the past three years, so when he saw how much he spent on a piece of clothing, he actually felt pity for him.
Although his career is very good, she actually knows that his salary is not very high, and she doesn't know if it has improved in the past three years.
"I'll send you the money later." She said softly after taking the bag.
"No!" Gu Xiangdong rushed, his voice sounding like a roar.
She looked up at his flushed face, which was a little darker. Even with the blush at the moment, it was still dark. But he still looked bright and energetic, with clear eyebrows and full of positive energy.
His figure has been trained to be extremely standard. Although he dresses very honestly and sunnyly, he always makes women feel a sense of security being cared for.
She looked a little dazed.
After a few years passed between her brother's accident and now, she realized that she hadn't looked at this man so carefully for a long time.
Once upon a time, he was so clearly imprinted on her heart. Every look, every smile, every move, she remembered in her heart, thinking carefully about his love and kindness to her.
But now, things have really changed.
Thinking about it, her nose suddenly felt a little sore, she opened her mouth, and finally turned around slightly, "Don't be like this, I know your situation, and I can feel at ease if you do this. Otherwise, if I want to meet you in the future, I will just
I will be thinking about the money I still owe you."
"I said no, so I don't want to." Gu Xiangdong seemed a little angry, with a tone that was rarely seen in him.
Xia Baoer sighed slightly and said nothing more.
"Also, I bought you barley and Huaishan porridge. It's sweet and glutinous. You used to like it the most. I'll come back later. If you don't want to go out, I'll bring you food. My mother cooked it. Didn't you say
Do you like to eat?"
"I...don't do this, give me some time to adapt to such a strange feeling."
Turning around, she saw nothing but his tall and tall body outside the door.
Maybe he knew she would reject him like this, so he simply walked away and avoided what she said.
I don't know why, but my heart was in turmoil, but I suddenly felt very at ease.
After changing into clothes, they were the style she liked, small-foot jeans, a British-style camel fur collared cloak, and a red and blue plaid scarf. The shoes were low-heeled dark red that she had always loved, they were soft, comfortable and warm.
.
What stunned her for a long time was the fact that the underwear he bought was colorless, and the black and white sweater inside...
She was no longer so conservative, but seeing him like this, she could still feel that he was thinking about her, and she felt a little softer in her heart.
He was like this, no matter how cruel she was, it was just that she would not be vague about what should be said clearly.
After thinking about it, she felt sleepy. She lay down and closed her eyes heavily.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I was woken up by the ringing of my cell phone. When I opened my eyes, it was dark outside the window.
She opened the curtains and dialed Gu Xiangdong's mobile phone number.
He already knew it anyway, so she didn't want to ask where he got it.
"Baby, are you awake?"
"Well, I just woke up."
"Should I wait for you downstairs or bring it up to you?"
After thinking about it, she looked at the lanterns that were everywhere and started to light up. She said, "It's better for me to go down. I just want to go out for a walk."
"Well, okay, I'll wait for you below."
She hummed, put on her coat, looked at it, and tied the scarf around her neck.
When she walked out of the hotel door, her body was warm, which washed away the coldness in her brows, making her feel comfortable no matter how she looked.
When he saw her, Gu Xiangdong's eyes lit up with pure happiness and nothing else.
"Are you trying to say that you are very discerning and buy really nice things?" Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but feel a little bit teasing.
Sure enough, Gu Xiangdong's face turned red, his brows were in high spirits, and he asked the little girl passing by to wait. His eyes looked like it was not enough. She pursed her lips and slightly opened her mouth, "Hey, do you have a girlfriend?"
?”
When Gu Xiangdong heard this, he felt a little uneasy.
"Why are you nervous? It's all right. Don't lie to me."
When he heard this, he also smiled, "Not yet, but someone is chasing her." Seeing her smile, he stopped hiding it.
"This is good. If you find someone suitable, just settle on it. My uncle and aunt have been wanting to have a grandchild for a long time. You are already quite old."
"Baby……"
She smiled and looked at him, but Gu Xiangdong said nothing more.
"I remember that when you and your brother came home, you were treated badly by me. Not only were you painted with a lot of turtles on your face, but you were also made to fall off the chair and almost didn't bloom. There were also
When we were eating, I kept snatching the food from you, and my brother laughed so hard that he cried." The voice of the recollection was very light and soft. I was afraid that if I accidentally spoke too loudly, everything would be ruined.
Blown away.
This is the time they used to be, happy, carefree, and gentle.
Gu Xiangdong didn't speak, he just stood beside her quietly, his protective posture never changing.
She has been remembering, recalling the past that cannot be returned, the brightness that cannot be returned, which belongs to their simple first love.
After walking for a long time, the night wind howled, sometimes very loudly. But she always felt that when it blew on her, it was incredibly small. And the coat on his body was blown up.
Xia Baoer turned her face away, her eyes were red.
"Gu Xiangdong."
"Yes, I'm here." He responded simply, looking at her gently.
She was suddenly in a trance, wondering if she would ever meet a man who treated her like this again. But she knew very well that it was no longer possible for her and Gu Xiangdong.
She raised her eyebrows and said in a very soft voice, "I think if I want to forgive you, it is because I hope you can live a good life, for yourself and for your uncles and aunts."
He was stunned for a moment, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. He didn't answer for a long time.
Looking at the bustling streets and the people passing by, Xia Baoer sighed in his heart.
Just like when she left Bo Yi, she wanted to hear him say "yes" readily. But he chose to remain silent, leaving her unsure of what to do. Her heart was filled with confusion and she felt a little sad.
Sure enough, being soft-hearted is a disease, but she was extremely ill.
"Are you hungry? Let's find a place to eat. I specifically asked my mother to bring a warm rice bucket."
'puff'--
Hearing him speak so seriously, she burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at? Nothing is so funny." Gu Xiangdong scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled.
"Who wants your food? But my aunt's cooking is really good. I can't wait to eat it."
She found a place, it was quiet and there were few people, and she couldn't care about so much. The rice bucket, er, the lunch box. As soon as she opened it, a smell came to her face, including shredded chicken legs, braised pork ribs, honey-glazed barbecued pork, and Shanghai greens.
wait.
"I'm not starving to death. Auntie, I haven't eaten for several days like this." She ate well and did not forget to say a few words.
