Haicheng has entered the rainy season, and it has been raining heavily for several days, making the air humid.
It was rare that work ended early, so Gu Chen and Weng Qiange were able to go home early today.
Although we were driving, it was raining heavily, so we were still wet when getting in and out of the car.
"Come in quickly!"
Zuo Yun stood at the entrance to the entrance, looking at the two wet children, frowning and smacking his lips.
"Hurry up, let's all take a bath, change clothes, and then come down and have a bowl of hot soup."
After a while of fuss, Gu Chen and Weng Qiange both took a bath and sat opposite each other holding soup bowls, looking at each other and snickering amidst Zuo Yun's nagging.
Weng Qiange moved his mouth and imitated Zuo Yun's speech, as if he was playing a double act.
Gu Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
Zuo Yun turned around sharply and glared at Weng Qiange.
Weng Qiange immediately shut up and lowered his head to drink the soup as if nothing had happened.
"snort."
Zuo Yun sneered, "What are you doing?"
"Having some soup."
Weng Qiange looked confused.
Zuo Yun went to Gu Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, tell me."
"Well."
Gu Chen was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm drinking soup."
"whispering sound."
Zuo Yun sighed, "Don't think I don't know, Qian Ge is causing trouble again.
Xiao Shen, just pamper her. She has a bad temper to begin with, and it becomes even worse when she is pampered by you.
How can this be good?
No one will dare to ask for your sister in the future."
Gu Chen secretly said something in his mind: No one dares to be just right.
How can a mother be serious about her children? She just feels sorry for them.
He looked at the heavy rain outside and said, "It's so easy to have some free time today. I won't do anything else for a while and go to bed early."
Qiange, you have dark circles under your eyes!"
“Ah——” Weng Qiange covered her face in fear, “Really?
What should I do?"
No girl likes to hear that?
"What can be done?"
Zuo Yun glanced at her and said, "Hurry up and sleep well."
"oh."
Weng Qiange didn't regain her composure, she raised her cheek and asked Gu Chen to show it to her.
“Do you have dark circles?
Is it serious?"
"..." Gu Chen stared at her for a while without answering.
But he said, "The chin has become sharper and thinner."
"Really?"
Weng Qiange screamed with excitement.
The panic and annoyance just now were gone, and I was extremely happy.
"That's great! I've been in the bottleneck period for losing weight for a long time, and I can't lose it no matter what! I'll weigh you in a minute!"
With that said, the person ran away quickly.
Gu Chen was sitting in the restaurant and heard her shouting loudly.
"Ah...it's really light!"
Then, Gu Chen laughed out loud.
When she raised her head, Zuo Yun was standing at the door, looking at her meaningfully.
Gu Chen was stunned and hurriedly stopped his smile.
But Zuo Yun had no intention of letting him go and came over to sit down.
Zuo Yun was anxious, "What happened to my adopted son?
Just because we are adopted children, you and Qiange are not real siblings. From my perspective, boys are not as good as you, and girls are not as good as Qiange."
Zuo Yun thinks his own child is the best no matter what.
Well.
Gu Chen thought for a moment, "I alone have no say in this matter."
Um?
Is there a door to this?
"There's no rush."
Zuo Yun suppressed his excitement and said, "As long as you are determined, mom will help you, and your dad, we are all on your side."
...At night, Zuo Yun wiped his hands and turned around to speak to Weng Huaqing, who was leaning on the bed.
"It doesn't matter that Xiao Shen doesn't remember the past, but he still treats Qian Ge the same as before."
"oh?"
Weng Huaqing put down the book, "Really?
Did Xiao Shen tell you?"
Zuo Yun smiled, "Although I didn't say it word for word clearly, that's what it meant."
"You didn't misunderstand?"
Weng Huaqing was worried.
"Can I misunderstand?"
Zuo Yun rolled her eyes at her husband, "Didn't you see what Xiao Shen did to Qian Ge before?
Those eyes were full of Qian Ge, and they are still exactly the same now."
"Um."
Weng Huaqing nodded in agreement.
Why.
Zuo Yun sighed, "I have also figured it out. As long as the two of them can be good in the future, everything else will follow Xiao Shen's wishes.
Both children are with us and they are our children."
"Just figure it out."
Weng Huaqing patted his wife's hand and turned off the light.
At midnight, the Weng family turned on the lights.
Gu Chen and Weng Qiange were both up. Gu Chen was on the phone, Weng Qiange was busy sorting out information, and Zuo Yun was packing their luggage.
Something went wrong with a project and the foundation collapsed.
In fact, after Gu Chen came back, he had already realized the problem, but he had so many things to do that he had not yet found time to deal with it. Unexpectedly, something went wrong in advance because of the recent weather.
Gu Chen must rush there immediately, and Weng Qiange will accompany him.
"Why."
Zuo Yun was worried about his two children, "The weather is bad, so be careful on the road."
Due to the weather, flights were canceled and they had to drive by themselves.
I'll see if I can make any other plans on the road then, the journey is not that short.
It is not practical to drive the entire journey by yourself.
"Thousand Songs."
Zuo Yun waved to his daughter, "Come here, I'll tell you where to put the things, so you won't find them later."
"..." "I'll do it."
Before Weng Qiange could agree, Gu Chen hung up the phone, walked closer, and agreed very smoothly.
The family members were stunned for a moment and all looked at him.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Why do you all look at me like this?
Qiange is too confused, but I remember it more clearly."
"Too."
Zuo Yun was convinced, "Xiao Shen is better at taking care of people than Qian Ge."
"mom."
Weng Qiange protested, "Don't talk about me like I'm useless!"
"That's not what I meant."
Gu Chen smiled and touched her head.
"I don't want you to work too hard and forget that you have a headache?"
"oh."
Weng Qiange smiled and said, "It's better that you are nice to me."
Zuo Yun and Weng Huaqing looked at each other and understood.
No matter what time it was, Gu Chen always kept his daughter in his heart.
My daughter, on the other hand, has always been picky about Gu Chen.
However, this time when Gu Chen came back, his daughter's attitude seemed to be different from before.
Hope this is a turning point for them.
... After getting in the car, Weng Qiange checked the time and said, "You drive for two hours first, and then I'll take your place."
Gu Chen smiled and responded: "Okay."
Waking up in the middle of the night, Weng Qiange yawned, tilted her head, and fell asleep leaning against the seat.
When I woke up, there was the sound of rustling rain in my ears, and the rain was receding outside the window. My field of vision looked like I was on a highway, and the sky was already bright.
Weng Qiange rubbed his eyes, his voice hoarse after waking up from sleep.
"What time is it?"
"Six o'clock."
Gu Chen glanced at her, his eyes as gentle as water.
"You're thirsty, drink some water first."
"Um."
As soon as Weng Qiange reached for it, the water glass was placed in her hand.
She unscrewed the bottle cap and took a few sips, then suddenly realized something.
"How do you know I'm thirsty?"
After she wakes up, she always feels dry mouth. The doctor said that this is caused by liver fire and there is no better way. She needs to take care of her slowly.
Therefore, she will always ask for water as soon as she wakes up.
He would never forget this when he was with Gu Chen before.
Even if he goes out first, he will prepare water for her.
How could Gu Chen remember that in front of him?
"Um?"
Gu Chen didn't quite understand, "I just said casually, what's wrong?"
Ah, I just said it casually.
Weng Qiange was stunned, with an indescribable feeling, an emptiness in his chest.
Turns out, it was just a coincidence.
Really, what was she expecting?
He used to be her husband, and even though his heart was not with her, she could still take possession of him openly.
But now, she can't even take his people by force, so she has to worry about these things.
It's ridiculous to think about it.
Weng Qiange looked out the window, thinking that maybe it wasn't that she didn't like Gu Chen before, but she was just... unwilling to do so.
She is unwilling to accept that others are hers, but her heart is not with her.
Realizing this, Weng Qiange suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and surrounded her tightly.
This feeling of powerlessness, even today, cannot be relieved or solved.
"I'll drive it."
Weng Qiange cheered up and said, "You won't wake me up either."
I complained a little.
"Need not."
Gu Chen smiled and refused, "I'll drive it."
"But."
Weng Qiange frowned, "Aren't you tired?
How can one hold on?"
Gu Chen glanced at her and said, "I'll tell you if I can't hold it any longer. Right now, I need your help. I wonder if you are willing to help?"
"What?"
Weng Qiange nodded immediately, "Speak quickly."
Gu Chen smiled, "I'm hungry and want to eat something, but I can't free my hands."
After what he said, Weng Qiange also felt hungry.
They set out from home in the middle of the night, and the journey was the most tiring and energy-consuming.
"Just wait."
Weng Qiange leaned forward, stretched his arms out into the back seat, and retrieved the bag where the food was placed.
Zuo Yun packed it in an insulated bag, so everything was still hot.
Weng Qiange opened a lid and found a salmon sandwich inside, cut into small pieces for easy eating.
"Give."
Weng Qiange twisted a small piece and handed it to Gu Chen's mouth.
Gu Chen opened his mouth and bit it, and Weng Qian's fingers were stained with sauce. When he took it back, he naturally put it into his mouth and shook it, then took out another piece and fed it to himself.
Gu Chen could see clearly throughout the whole process. Should he say that she was informal, or that she was actually close to him?
After struggling twice, Gu Chen was willing to believe it was the latter.
Qian Ge was intimate with him without even realizing it.
"Well... drink some coffee."
She didn't change the cup and fed Gu Chen what she had drunk.
Gu Chen lowered his head and drank from her hand.
"The coffee smells so good, and my mother's craftsmanship is beyond boasting."
Weng Qiange suddenly realized the problem with the cup, his cheeks became hot, and he hesitated to speak.
"Well, um... it's inconvenient on the road, so I gave you a drink from my cup. Do you mind?"
Gu Chen looked at her and said nothing.
She misunderstood and immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'll change it for you..." "No need."
Gu Chen reached out and grabbed her wrist.
The moment their skins touched, both of them were stunned for a moment.
Their eyes looked at each other, their hearts beating like drums.
Weng Qiange lowered his head in embarrassment and secretly cursed himself for being useless! What are you doing?
The two of them have even done things as husband and wife, and have done things that are a hundred times a thousand times more intimate than this. Is it crazy to be so pretentious?
He peeked at Gu Chen through the car window. He was so calm. What just happened had no impact on him at all.
Gu Chen looked forward and tried his best to stay calm.
See, you can't hide your love.
Once you like it, you can't help but have all kinds of greed.
Her smile, her voice, her warmth, her smell, everything about her... The car stopped at the next gas station, Weng Qiange sat in the cafe and called Feng Xiaoxiao.
"Yo."
Feng Xiaoxiao laughed at her, "Do you still have time to call me?
Now that your ex-husband is back, don’t you need to relive your old dreams?”
"How...how do I relive it?"
"ah?"
Feng Xiaoxiao was very surprised, "Are your questions serious?"
She was originally just joking, but Weng Qiange's response was so thought-provoking.
"You really want to relive it?"
Feng Xiaoxiao became interested, "Don't you dislike him?
It was a matter of life and death, and I had to get divorced. I finally got divorced, and he doesn’t even remember that your relationship was ruined in the past. What a great opportunity to restart your life.”
"Well, you're right."
"wrong."
Feng Xiaoxiao refused to let her deal with it, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Through the glass wall, Weng Qiange looked at Gu Chen outside and sighed.
"I don't know. I never thought about having anything to do with him. When I take him home this time, I really treat him as my big brother."
"Um."
Feng Xiaoxiao said seriously and seriously, "Continue."
"I..." This best friend is not for nothing, Weng Qiange can't say half of it.
"I don't seem to hate him as much as before."
"funny."
Feng Xiaoxiao ridiculed her, "I don't hate Gu Chen at all. Who else in the world hates him except you?
So what do you mean?
What’s the plan?”
"No plan."
Weng Qiange shook his head, "I just want to talk to you.
No more talking, he is here."
The door opened and Gu Chen walked towards her.
Holding two peaches in his hand, "I just bought them at the convenience store. I washed two and brought them to you. The boss said they are very sweet."
Weng Qiange's heart twitched again.
Another coincidence! She likes to eat peaches the most.
But she can't wash it herself because she is allergic to hair.
In the past, Gu Chen wouldn't even let her touch it. He would wash it, cut it, and put it in her mouth.
Thinking of everything in the past, Weng Qiange felt like a bastard! Even though their marriage was forced, Gu Chen never treated her harshly.
"Is it tasty?"
Gu Chen looked at her expectantly.
Weng Qiange took a big bite and smiled widely.
"Mmm, it's delicious and sweet."
"Oh, that's good."
Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her hair.
"There's still some food in the car."
"Um."
Weng Qiange lowered his eyes, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
She couldn't explain why, but it seemed that the longing for her these past few months made her see only good things about Gu Chen after they reunited.
However, it doesn't seem to be entirely the case.
In fact, before Gu Chen's accident, their relationship was not so tense.
The rain wouldn't stop and they had to set off.
There was water on the road outside the coffee shop. Weng Qiange hesitated for a moment, and the next second she was hugged by Gu Chen.
"I'll carry you over."
Gu Chen hugged her and saw her dazed, and smiled helplessly, "Why are you dazed?
I am responsible for holding you, and you are responsible for holding the umbrella."
"oh oh."
Weng Qiange opened her umbrella. Why was she so hot and sweating on such a cold rainy day?
