Chapter 195: A Corner of the Gradually Revealed Truth
Chapter 195 195. A corner of the truth gradually revealed
Gu Qingcheng's family was enjoying themselves happily, but she forgot that there was another person waiting for her.
When Gu Wenjin pushed open the door of Gu's house, thunder and lightning fell from behind him, and the reflected light illuminated his whole person.
The pouring rain made him soaked all over. His gloomy gaze happened to meet Gu Qingcheng, who was wrapped in a towel and humming a song after taking a bath.
"Ah!" Gu Qingcheng was most afraid of ghosts, and Gu Wenjin happened to have a fierce expression on her face, which scared her so much that she huddled behind the sofa and did not dare to come out.
"If Qing Jiu hadn't told me, how long would you have kept it secret from me?"
Seeing her like this, Gu Wenjin's anger at looking for her in the heavy rain was almost gone. While sighing helplessly, he took off his wet suit jacket and changed into a clean coat.
The two of them sat on the sofa in silence. After a long while, Gu Qingcheng moved closer to him and cautiously tried:
"Um, are you...still angry?"
"Ah -" Gu Wenjin sighed and glanced at her:
"What do you think?"
"The temperature in the hall is low, please go back to the bedroom."
But after Gu Qingjiu gradually understood the truth of that year, his mind was filled with shock.
"Aunt Gu Chi is also your sister, but the expressions you look at them are completely different."
If Gu Wenjin is a person who can control time travel at will, then does the time travel between himself and Gu Wangchu have something to do with him?
However, before she could think about the problem clearly, the truth came to her.
——
Although the light in the living room was very low and only the flame in the fireplace was still burning, Gu Qingcheng still keenly captured the blush behind Gu Wenjin's ears when he left.
Gu Qingjiu also laughed out loud at his prevaricating words.
"Just brother and sister?"
"There's nothing else in the refrigerator. I heated it up and drank it."
But soon, a more important thing was placed in front of her:
How did Gu Qingcheng travel through time?
Judging from her appearance, it seems that traveling through time was not her original intention, and she did not show a very strong desire or purpose.
Now, there are two questions before Gu Wenjin, and these are also the two questions that Gu Qingjiu wants to know the most.
They care about Gu Chi so much that they can be called brother and sister.
"It's not that I don't want you to come back. I haven't told others about your return. It's just that I haven't thought about what kind of excuse I should make to convince others - but forget it, as long as you come back it will be fine.
.”
"Hey..." Gu Wenjin sighed. The secret was like a heavy burden on his heart. In fact, he was also extremely upset. When Gu Qingjiu questioned him just now, although he looked calm and composed on the surface, his tie was almost
He didn't tie it properly every time, so he simply took out the tie irritably, hung it back on the shelf, and changed it to another tie.
"I hope this sentence can come from your own mouth," Gu Qingjiu knew that he would leave the answer to this question to herself, but she refused to take the bait and instead tilted her head and asked:
"Or do you want to discuss with me more about how my mother ended up in this place after more than ten years?"
13 years...
Gu Qingjiu's extremely serious tone made Gu Wenjin pause unconsciously when picking up his coat. However, he did not look at him. Instead, he put on his coat and asked slowly while arranging it:
Early the next morning, before Gu Wenjin could go to work, he was stopped by Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Wenjin saw that she had gone so far as to say what she said. He took a deep breath and asked while tying his tie:
"For example, should you explain to me your relationship with my mother?"
There was still a bit of embarrassment and discomfort in her tone. She was clearly handing over a glass of hot milk, but her eyes were not there:
If it was Aunt Gu Chi who was in danger today, would Gu Wenjin really have spent more than ten years just to do something that was almost hopeless?
However, that is all a story for later.
"So, what do you mean?"
She is no longer a girl, no longer the little girl who can hide in her mother's arms and laugh wildly.
Ignoring Gu Qingcheng's expression, Gu Qingjiu fled back to her bedroom as fast as she could in her life.
The reason why she forced the other party into a blind corner was because she had determined that Gu Wenjin had to answer at least one of these two questions.
Even when she traveled to other small worlds, she had the experience of being a mother several times.
Gu Qingcheng originally closed his eyes, preparing to face the coming accusation, but then he heard the other party say:
"They're just siblings."
"You——" Gu Qingcheng looked at him blankly, then felt the temperature around her body was a little cold, and sneezed:
If it's just an ordinary brother-sister relationship, do you want to save the other person from another time and space regardless of your own life?
Just when Gu Qingjiu was waiting for his reply, Gu Wenjin finally spoke:
"This inquisitive way of inquiry...you are really different from Qingcheng."
She didn't know what her attitude should be when facing her mother again.
After closing the door, she relaxed with lingering fear.
No matter how naive you are, you should find some clues from the relationship between them. How could she be easily deceived by Gu Wenjin's few words:
Turning back, Gu Qingjiu handed over the hot milk.
Gu Qingjiu's ears turned red unconsciously, and she urged impatiently:
"After drinking, go to bed quickly."
After saying that, Gu Wenjin stood up and left.
Gu Qingcheng happily took it and called out sweetly:
"Thank you Baby."
And what role does Gu Wenjin play in bringing Gu Qingcheng back to the present?
Should I be excited? Or nervous? Or both?
Gu Qingcheng seems to still have the same look as before, but the Gu Qingjiu now is not the same as she was when she was 15 years old.
"Uncle, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
Gu Qingcheng blinked and didn't know what to say when he felt a hint of heat coming from his side.
When he was adjusting his collar, he didn't even raise his head to look at Gu Qingjiu.
Later, Gu Wenjin told Gu Qingjiu everything that happened that year.
And when he looked at Gu Qingcheng, his expression...
"What explanation do you think I should give you?"
"Oh!"
A bold guess had been secretly hidden in Gu Qingjiu's heart, but the idea was so outrageous that she refused to express it herself.
"So that's it..."
"No wonder, no wonder Shen Junnan would say that..."
While Gu Qingjiu was still digesting what he just said, Gu Wenjin was finally able to pull away and leave.
And in a corner that none of them saw, Gu Qingcheng was leaning against the wall, with a face that was still young and beautiful, but filled with sadness.
