After moving the house, Shui Xiao and Gu Chen went on a business trip to S City.
At three o'clock, they got off the plane and went straight to the Hyatt Regency Hotel. In the car, Shui Xiao looked out the window, silent.
City S, such a distant memory, sunshine, mother, blood, destruction.
Unexpectedly, after a few years, she set foot on this land again. Instead of excitement, she just felt strange.
The surrounding buildings are no longer what they are in memory. They are not much different from City A, but there is something different. They seem to be a little more simple than City A.
The car passed through the street quickly, passing by the middle school she attended. The words on the school gate were dazzling, but they only passed by in a flash.
The streets were no longer what she remembered. They were wider and more prosperous, but more crowded.
A European-style villa jumped into her eyes, and what caught her eye was the brilliant rose.
In a blink of an eye, it was over.
After arriving at the Hyatt, Shui Xiao went back to her room without resting, standing on the balcony and looking at S City.
City S is developing so fast! There are many high-rise buildings, and the atmosphere of a metropolis is everywhere. Everything has changed.
After standing for a long time, I called my grandma and then went to bed to rest. I was really tired.
At six o'clock, it was dark, and Shui Xiao was lying on the bed, feeling weak and still asleep.
In the dream, a man was covered in blood, and the blood sprayed directly on the white wall like a fountain. Next to him stood a woman with a look of horror.
Suddenly, Gu Chen appeared, ran to her side, held her hand, and Shui woke up.
She instantly opened her eyes, and what caught her eyes was Gu Chen from her dream just now.
"Water, I'm having a nightmare." Gu Chen's low voice was like a Buddhist sound, soothing her when she woke up.
After a while, she regained consciousness and looked outside. The night was getting dark and the lights in the distance were bright, but it made her feel chilly.
"What nightmare did you have? I was so frightened that I was sweating all over." Gu Chen held a tissue in his hand and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Shui Xiao lowered her head, the scene just now was still in her mind. She had not had this dream for a long time. When she returned to City S, she had the same dream again. Was this the reason for her return?
Seeing her lowering her head, Gu Chen didn't ask further questions, but just said gently.
"Get up and have dinner."
Shui Xiao finally woke up completely. She suppressed her panic just now and looked up with a calm expression on her face.
"Why did you come in?" His tone was cold.
She wasn't used to having strangers break into her room while she was sleeping.
"I've been knocking on the door for a long time, but you didn't open the door. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I called the customer service and they opened the door." Gu Chen ignored her expression.
"You go out, I'll change clothes." Shui Xiao didn't even look at him, her tone was unwelcoming.
Gu Chen had a smile on his lips and raised his eyebrows coquettishly: "It's not like I haven't seen it before, so there's nothing to be ashamed of."
Shui Xiao was stunned for a moment, then picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it over: "Pervert."
Someone took the pillow, put it up to his nose, and smelled it, "It smells like you." His eyes were warm and ambiguous.
Shui Xiao leaned forward again, snatched the pillow from his hand, and cut it out coldly. "Obscene."
Someone sneered: "Is this indecent? How do you describe it in bed? And we..."
Shui Xiao immediately lay down and covered her whole body with the quilt, not listening to what was said behind her. Gu Chen's deep eyes looked at the bulge in the white sheet, and he felt helpless, but he was not going to let her go.
"Want to sleep? I'll sleep with you."
After saying this, he lay down next to her and pulled off her quilt. Shui Xiao became anxious and angry, and used his hands and feet to kick him out of the bed.
But Gu Chen's skills were so good that he caught her kicking foot and pulled her hard, and she was already under him.
