After a moment, she slowly raised her head to look at the man in front of her, but her face seemed a bit paler than before.
"Forever?" She looked at him and said very slowly, "What is forever? One month, two months? One year, two years?"
At this point, she suddenly twitched her lips and said, "Mr. Fu, can you tell me how far you mean forever?"
After a long time, Fu Chengyu slowly said: "I don't know how far eternity is. I only know that I will do my best as long as I live."
"About this house?"
Fu Chengyu looked at her and said word by word: "About everything I expect."
Gu Qing'er suddenly laughed out loud, "Including me?"
Fu Chengyu did not answer, but his eyes already gave her the answer.
"Then I would like to ask Mr. Fu, how well do you know me? How much do you know about my past and my present? And how much do you know about yourself?" Gu Qing'er said, "The two of us can only understand each other at best.
You are just a little more familiar than a stranger, but you have played a game and slept with me a few times... Don't you think it's ridiculous for Mr. Fu to keep talking about it forever?"
"It's not funny." Fu Chengyu suddenly replied.
Gu Qing'er looked at him as if he were looking at a madman, "Why isn't that ridiculous?"
"Because no one knows how far eternity is. Every eternity is based on the present, the outlook and guidance for the future. There is a vast unknown road. If you don't walk it yourself, how can you know the way forward?" Fu Chengyu said, "At least
I dare to go up, and I hope to keep walking in the direction of my heart. This is not a ridiculous thing."
The expression on Gu Qing'er's face froze slightly.
Fu Chengyu looked at her and continued: "How do you know it's not possible if you haven't tried it?"
Hearing these words, Gu Qing'er's expression changed again. After a moment, she chuckled again and said: "I'm afraid that will disappoint Mr. Fu. It's precisely because I have tried it and I know what the ending will be like.
That’s why I knew—it couldn’t be done.”
Fu Chengyu was startled. Before he could realize what she meant, Gu Qing'er suddenly broke away from him, turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Watching her back gradually disappear from sight, Fu Chengyu did not move again for a while.
She said she tried...
what does that mean?
"Mr. Fu." After who knows how long, Luan Bin walked up to him and handed him an email that required a timely reply.
Fu Chengyu took the tablet in his hand, but it took him a long time to refocus his energy and reply to the email.
Seeing his state, Luan Bin couldn't help but said, "How about you go see Miss Gu?"
Fu Chengyu looked in the direction of the backyard, and after a long time he said: "She's not in the right mood. Let her calm down for a while."
Gu Qing'er refused to avoid him. Fu Chengyu knew clearly from the beginning that she had always been in poor health and in a bad mood, so he never dared to be too aggressive and never took her sarcastic remarks to heart.
But today, what Gu Qing'er said made him think for a long time.
Because he could see that she wasn't just talking casually to provoke him, she was serious.
It was as if she had really experienced a relationship that she had solemnly promised and looked forward to forever, but ended miserably in the end.
But this relationship has nothing to do with him.
But she dropped out of school at the age of eighteen to take care of Mr. Gu at home, married him at the age of twenty, and spent nearly four years in the Fu family.
What other emotional experiences will she have that are profound enough to reach this point?
He was thinking about this problem and flipped through a document in his hand three or four times, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.
When he read the document for the fifth time, Fu Chengyu suddenly raised his head.
Luan Bin thought there was something wrong with the documents, so he quickly came over to listen to the instructions.
But Fu Chengyu said: "Go to Linjiang and pick up Li Qing."
An hour later, Li Qing strode through the door.
"Mr. Fu, are you looking for me? Is this girl Qing'er unwilling to eat well again? Don't worry, I'll take care of it—"
Before he finished speaking, Fu Chengyu interrupted him and then invited him to sit next to him.
"I take the liberty of inviting you, Uncle Qing, to come over. Actually, I want to ask you about something." Fu Chengyu said.
Li Qing hurriedly said: "Whatever it is, just tell me, I will tell you everything."
"About Qing'er's parents." Fu Chengyu said, "How did they die?"
Hearing this question, Li Qing's face couldn't help but change slightly. He subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the backyard. After a while, he turned back and said, "Why...why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"I have always known that her parents died in a car accident, but I don't know the specific circumstances." Fu Chengyu said, "So... I want to know. You have been watching her in Linjiang for so many years.
When you grow up, you will definitely know the details."
Li Qing rubbed his hands and hesitated for a long time before finally sighing and saying: "Well, I shouldn't have said this originally, but since you asked about it...how should I put it, it is a tragedy after all..."
Seeing him so entangled and hesitant, Fu Chengyu knew that there must be something behind this.
"Qing'er's parents have always had a very good relationship, and the family of three is happy," Li Qing said. "But that year, Qing'er's father's former lover came back."
Fu Chengyu suddenly paused.
"As for this matter, although he is no longer here, to be fair, Qing'er's father is still at fault... He had no choice but to separate from his former lover. After meeting again, he might not be able to let go after all... During that time,
The couple kept arguing, and Qing'er's mother was also tortured. On the day of the car accident, it was Qing'er's mother who drove Qing'er's father, saying that she was going to find the woman, and the three of them had a fight in person... Who
When they found out, there was a car accident on the road, and the couple died... Later, the police determined that Qing'er's mother was solely responsible. However, the car accident was really tragic, so the police also had an inference, saying that it was... very possible.
It was Qing'er's mother who intentionally caused the car accident... But who would dare to mention such a sad thing? I can only speculate that maybe the couple had another argument in the car at that time, and Qing'er's mother might have gotten angry and
...Fortunately, Qing'er was not in the car at that time... But who can say for sure about this kind of thing? If Qing'er was in the car at that time, maybe the tragedy would not have happened?"
After Fu Chengyu listened, he only felt his head buzzing.
At the same time, a somewhat distant voice suddenly became clear in his mind.
"I originally thought I was playing a game with a man, but I didn't expect that the man would play a game with me."
"I don't like this kind of gameplay, so I will continue playing without interrupting."
"I'm not interested in being someone else's second best."
