The little girl waited for Gu Nianxi's answer with bright eyes. She was indeed given a lot of fantasies at her age.
Gu Nianxi smiled, wrapped the cufflinks and put them in her bag, and replied calmly, "Not handsome, our boss is a bald old man in his fifties."
The little girl heard the black line and said, "Damn, I know, reality is always cruel."
Gu Nianxi snickered and walked out of the store. She had just ruthlessly killed the girl's dream.
If no one has met Mr. Don, no one will believe that such a perfect person really exists in this world.
But after thinking about it, his life was not too perfect. It was only the God of Death who took away his lover.
On the way home, Gu Nianxi thought of He Jianchen. It was almost evening, and she didn't know if he had finished his work in the hospital. Gu Nianxi felt very depressed when she thought that he would go on a business trip abroad the day after tomorrow.
He would be away for more than ten days, and by the time he came back, New Year's Day had passed, and his original plan of taking a small trip during the three-day holiday was ruined.
Gu Nianxi sighed repeatedly. Although she was depressed, she could understand him. The profession of doctor is inherently prepared to sacrifice personal time, especially surgeons, who are the busiest.
When she walked to the door of her house, Gu Nianxi's cell phone rang in her bag. It took her a long time to take it out of her bag, but unfortunately the call on the other side hung up.
She opened the missed calls and saw that it was a call from He Jianchen, so she hurriedly answered it.
The phone rang several times and He Jianchen's voice came.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Are you done? Where are you?"
"Well, I just slept for a while in the duty room. Did you miss me?"
"In no mood."
"You really don't want to?"
"Yeah." Gu Nianxi stood in front of her home carrying a heavy bag. He Jianchen's voice reminded her of the scene of him rushing into the emergency room. She felt a little aggrieved and didn't want him to be fake.
She hesitated for a moment and then told him her true words, "What's the use? Can you fly over right away?"
"hehe."
He Jianchen's silly laughter echoed in his ears, and Gu Nianxi also laughed, "When will you get off work? Can you leave today?"
"able."
"How about I go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables for you first, and I'll make some food for you when you come back." The other side suddenly became quiet. Gu Nianxi didn't know what he was thinking, so she asked cautiously: "What do you want to eat?"
“No need to go to the supermarket.”
"..." Gu Nianxi was a little disappointed after being rejected. It seemed that he would never come back. "Ah, that's okay. Call me when you come back from the hospital. Don't worry about me. I understand."
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"What?" Gu Nianxi looked at the phone curiously, then suddenly realized and turned around sharply.
There was a man standing under the tree in the distance. He was wearing a beige coat, with a scarf she knitted for him around his neck. He took his hands out of his coat pockets, patted them, and opened his arms to Gu Nianxi.
"Child in front, what do you want to eat tonight? My brother will take you to buy it."
The moment she saw He Jianchen, Gu Nianxi's eyes flashed with surprise and a bit of joy. She dropped the bag in her hand on the ground and ran towards him.
When Gu Nianxi rushed into He Jianchen's arms, he hugged her tightly, rested his chin on the top of her head, and kissed her hair.
He Jianchen's arms imprisoned her like a lock, and Gu Nianxi buried her face in his heart, rubbing against his cold coat.
"Why didn't you call me when you came to the hospital yesterday?"
Gu Nianxi raised her face from his arms and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
He Jianchen smiled and pinched her cheek, "My colleague saw you."
"Ah...I went to the hospital because..."
"Because you miss me?" He Jianchen pinched her mouth into pouty lips and continued to tease her, "Didn't you say you missed me? When did you learn to lie?"
"..."
The word lie suddenly reminded Gu Nianxi of what happened that night. She looked a little complicated and pulled his hand off.
"I went to the hospital to see a friend."
Lying is contagious. As soon as Gu Nianxi finished speaking, her eyes began to dodge. He Jianchen kept staring at her, making her feel guilty.
"Oh, okay, okay, I just came to see you."
He Jianchen nodded with satisfaction, held her face again, and kissed her on the lips.
"I am very satisfied with your answer. I will reward you with a delicious meal. Let's go shopping for groceries."
He Jianchen pulled Gu Nianxi and was about to leave, but she held him back.
"Wait a minute, I'll send the clothes home first."
"What clothes?"
"Oh, I stained someone's clothes last time when I went shopping, so I did their dry cleaning."
He Jianchen frowned upon hearing this, and asked worriedly, "When did it happen? The other party didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"No, he's an acquaintance, and he didn't ask me to compensate him." Gu Nianxi said, pointing to the bag on the ground at the door, "I'll take it home first."
Gu Nianxi ran towards the door of the house. He Jianchen looked at her back and couldn't help but say a few words, "Slow down! Wear more clothes when you go back, it's cold at night."
"good!"
Gu Nianxi's reply came from the courtyard door. He Jianchen looked at it, his eyes became sad, and his heart ached when he thought of what Xuenai told him that night.
He came to see her that night, just wanting to give her a hug and tell her that she would be protected by him in the future and that he would not let her be hurt again. But that night, for some unknown reason, she was very indifferent to him.
Until now, He Jianchen still hadn't figured out what happened that night that made her feel alienated from him.
Just as He Jianchen was thinking about it, Gu Nianxi appeared in front of him wearing a red coat.
"Let's go, where are we going to buy groceries?"
He Jianchen looked at her smiling face. The happier she smiled, the sadder he felt.
Why did God do this to her? Is it just because she fell in love with that man?
He Jianchen took Gu Nianxi's hand and put it into his warm pocket.
"Go to the vegetable market."
"Wet market?" Gu Nianxi looked at him in astonishment.
"Well, let me show you the vegetable market in front of my house." He looked at her, his eyes full of distress. He touched her face and said softly: "After we get married, you will be responsible for buying vegetables and I will be responsible for cooking, okay?
good?"
Gu Nianxi was amused by what he said, "You are so busy at work and I am going to starve to death if I expect you to cook."
The two leaned against each other and walked towards the intersection step by step.
"When I come back from New York this time, I want to quit my current job. How about I become a teacher? This way I can spend more time with you."
Gu Nianxi stopped, shocked by his words.
"You...are kidding me."
He had to be kidding, what fool would give up his career as a neurosurgeon, and he was at the height of his success.
He Jianchen turned to look at her and said with firm eyes: "I received an invitation from G City Medical College. They have a very important project that needs talents. I want to try it. Do you want to come with me?"
"Leave S City?"
He Jianchen nodded.
Gu Nianxi, let's leave here and go to a place without him. Let me take good care of you.
He Jianchen really wanted to say this to her, but she had forgotten the past.
It's okay to forget, it won't be so painful. It wasn't until that night that he realized that it wasn't because of that man that she didn't want to get close to him, but because of the terrible things she had experienced.
She suffered violence, lost her child, and it turned out that she died more than once.
"Are you willing to leave here with me?" He Jianchen asked.
"I..." This sudden question made Gu Nianxi unable to accept it for a while. She never thought that He Jianchen would have the idea of going to a different place to develop.
"When we get there, I will still be kind to you, and we will have more time together."
"Are you afraid that I will complain that you won't accompany me?" Gu Nianxi's mind was confused. "But I don't blame you for not accompanying me. Isn't your current job your favorite? Don't change it for me.
Huh? Are you like this-"
Gu Nianxi didn't say anything, what she wanted to say was, you will only put more pressure on me.
"Jian Chen, I don't want you to give up your current career for me. You are so good and your future will be better. You can't wrong yourself for me. This will make me feel guilty and make me feel that I have delayed you.
.”
"Nian Nian." He Jianchen held her shoulders and said in a steady voice: "I have thought very clearly these days, and I don't pay much attention to these things."
"Don't value it? Then why did you study abroad? You said you don't value your current career, so what do you value?"
"you."
"..."
"What I value is you. I don't want you to hide in the corner like yesterday, without even having the courage to call me. Don't think of yourself too small, and don't think of me too tall. I'm just an ordinary person."
As a man, I want to choose a life that suits me for my family. I want us to have dinner at a warm home every night. I want to go camping with my children on weekends. Nian Nian, I just want to be with you all the time.
,Give your time to each other.”
He Jianchen hugged her tightly in his arms, and Gu Nianxi's eyes were wet with emotion.
