Du Xiaoxian woke up very early. In fact, she did not sleep well the whole night. She was worried about Gu Nianbin. He coughed twice more after that. Although it was not as scary as the first two times, she could hear that he was trying to suppress his coughing bouts as though he did not want to make a lot of noise.
Du Xiaoxian was very uneasy. In her heart, Gu Nianbin was the dearest person to her. How could she sit idly by like this? However, she did not dare to go over again. She fell asleep in the midst of her hesitation.
When she woke up, the room was filled with a faint white light. She did not know what time it was now because her phone was still with Gu Nianbin. She estimated that it was probably about six o'clock.
She put on a jacket and went out. The corridor was silent. She turned around and opened the door to Gu Nianbin's room. The bed was a little messy and half of the blanket was on the floor. The sheets were crumpled and th
Gu Nianbin took Du Xiaoxian away from the stone steps and turned to a mountain path.Du Xiaoxian had been to Yuefeng Mountain a few times, but she had no impression of this place. It seemed that there was no road ahead. But as they kept walking forward, she saw the road was right under her feet.The ground was covered with a thick layer of leaves. The weather was clear in the last few days, so the leaves were a little dry. When they stepped on the leaves, the leaves made crunching sounds. It was quite fun.Du Xiaoxian thought that few people walked on this path, which was why there were so many leaves here. She stepped on them very slowly and carefully, listening to the sound of the leaves crunching under her feet.Gu Nianbin had been walking slowly, and they were even slower now with all the leaves. His hand that was holding Du Xiaoxian was sweating, so his palm was wet. His hand had always been warm and dry, so she did not
When he returned home, Gu Nianbin returned to how he used to be. He had a cold face all day and did not talk much to Du Xiaoxian. But he would return home on time every day. When he was home, he would sit in the living room and read the newspaper. When Gu Niannian called him, he would respond curtly. Sometimes, he would talk to her, then head upstairs and stay there until it was time to eat.The Gu family saw this and felt very anxious. There was no progress between these two at all. When could they hold a wedding?Du Xiaoxian also felt very uneasy. When they were on the mountain, they could get along pretty well. Why was Gu Nianbin rejecting her again once they returned home?She was hurt by his indifference and secretly shed tears several times. When Gu Niannian saw it, she ran to Fang Yaru and complained that her father was bullying her mother. In her opinion, her mother was very strong. But ever since her father appeared, her mother
A few days later, Fang Yaru asked to return to their ancestral home with the excuse that Gu Guangxian couldn't stand the cold weather. Of course, Gu Nianbin wouldn't object. It was only when he got home from work that he found out that Fang Yaru had taken all the servants away. Not a single one of them was left. Gu Shanshan didn't return home as well. She said that she was too busy with her work and would be staying in her dormitory.There were only three people left in the previously lively house. Gu Nianbin naturally knew what was going on, but he didn't point it out. Xiao Bonian and the family doctor had gone there with his parents. He didn't need to worry about anything. What he needed to worry about were the two people who were still at home.Gu Nianbin stood before the window, but before he could finish smoking his cigarette, Gu Niannian came and knocked on his door. "Daddy, Mommy says that dinner is ready."The little girl's crisp
The family of three finally settled into a peaceful tempo of living together. Although Gu Nianbin still ignored Du Xiaoxian, the atmosphere in the house was much better. Gu Niannian worked hard to be the middleman.She would say to Du Xiaoxian, "Mommy, Daddy just called to say that we're going out for dinner today. He asked us to get changed and wait for him at home."She would also say to Gu Nianbin, "Daddy, Mommy wonders if you have any plans tomorrow night. She wants to bring me to watch an animated movie. She hopes you can come with us.""Mommy, Daddy asked you to arrange the flowers he just bought. Aren't they pretty?""Daddy, Mommy just finished ironing your shirt. You should wear this to work tomorrow!"Sometimes, the clever little girl would even make up some white lies."Mommy, Daddy said you look very beautiful today!"Her simple mother became shy and speechless.
Gu Nianbin lost his temper spectacularly, but even he did not know why. It seemed like it was because Gu Niannian was disobedient, but there seemed to be another reason too. He rarely lost his temper over the past few years. However, as long as Du Xiaoxian was here, he could not control his emotions. All kinds of inexplicable and complicated emotions would surge out of nowhere, making him very mad!Du Xiaoxian hid far away as soon as she saw his murderous expression. However, Gu Niannian was still quite brave. She peeked at him through the gap between the door. Finally, she mustered the courage to gently push open the door and slowly walk up to him."Daddy, I'm sorry." Niannian lowered her head. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have cut Auntie's coat."Gu Nianbin looked at her. "Why did you cut Auntie's coat?"Gu Niannian licked her dry lips and answered honestly, "I did it because I don't like her. She wants to take you away. Then
Gu Nianbin raised his hand to check the time on his watch. She was already half an hour late. He seemed to be very patient and drank coffee unhurriedly. He thought, "I'll wait for another five minutes. I'll leave if she doesn't come by then."However, after only one minute, Lan Guo appeared at the entrance of the coffee shop. She wore a long red trench coat and walked over while swaying side to side. She looked like a blooming canna. She had a green scarf around her neck, which highlighted her fairness and made her face look as white as jade. Her long hair rippled over her shoulders. It was long and flowy. She looked beautiful and seductive.Only Lan Guo could hold such a sharp contrast of red and green. If it were anyone else, she would look so silly.He could smell her perfume before she even arrived. Lan Guo came up to him and apologized, "I'm sorry for being late. Traffic was really bad.""It doesn't matter," Gu Nianbin
Du Xiaoxian thought that Gu Nianbin would take her to a fancy place to eat, but she did not expect him to bring her to her favorite grilled fish restaurant instead.The grilled fish restaurant was still in the same place. It was overcrowded and bustling like it used to be. There was no concept of reservations here. Everyone was treated equally here and had to wait for their seats.They were lucky. When they got there, there happened to be a table that had just freed up. Du Xiaoxian quickly ran over to occupy the seat and helped the waiter tidy the table. Gu Nianbin frowned and walked over with a look of disgust. "You can't stop yourself from doing cleaning, can you? Go wash your hands!""Oh." Du Xiaoxian obediently ran to the bathroom to wash her hands.Gu Nianbin shouted again, "Don't run! The floor is slippery."Du Xiaoxian stopped and began to walk slowly. This place was small and had many tables. It looked a
Although Du Xiaoxian wiped her mouth before coming out, Gu Nianbin still felt that her mouth was oily, so he pulled away from her in disgust.Du Xiaoxian did not care, and she kept chatting with Gu Nianbin. She was never a great talker, but for the man she loved, she was willing to try her best.Gu Shanshan came over today and gave her another lesson. In fact, it was just a repetition of old advice. She vividly remembered Gu Shanshan's expression at that time. She cheered for her very passionately. "Important things need to be said three times. Take the initiative! Take the initiative! Take the initiative! Be brave! Be brave! Be brave! Just do all that and my brother will surely fall for you. Come on, I have faith in you!"Gu Niannian stood to the side, clenching her small fists and cheering for her mother earnestly. "Mom, I have faith in you! You can definitely win over Daddy!"Her childish voice made Du Xiaoxian and Gu Sha
