The bloody sunset hung peacefully in the western sky, creating large tracts of red sunset glow.
The warm breeze of late spring and early summer blows over people's faces, warming them just right.
Su Hua and Gu Beixian were sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard.
Suhua peeled open a mangosteen, took out two pieces, and fed it to his mouth.
Gu Beixian opened his mouth and bit down, accidentally biting her finger.
Su Hua smiled. The fingers were numb and crisp, as if they were not her own, like a girl's fingers.
"Da da da!"
Suddenly, I heard a crisp and powerful sound of high heels coming from far away.
You don’t need to guess, you know it’s Qin Shu.
Few people can wear high heels with such force.
"Daughter-in-law, I brought you delicious food." Qin Shu and the bodyguard put the large and small bags on the ground.
Su Hua called her "Mom" and asked her to sit down on the chair.
After taking a seat.
Qin Shu looked at Gu Beixian, "How's it going?"
Gu Beixian's expression remained indifferent, "Fortunately, I took medicine according to the doctor's instructions and cooperated with psychological treatment, and it was temporarily under control. The doctor said that if you persist for a while and see if the condition is stable, you can reduce the medicine."
Qin Shu breathed a long sigh of relief, "Does the medicine have serious side effects?"
Gu Beixian had no emotion, "It's okay."
Qin Shu was a little unhappy, "You don't like to tell me anything. You only report good news but not bad news."
Gu Beixian lowered his gaze, "There's nothing to worry about."
Qin Shu looked at the thin-faced Su Hua, "Isn't it very hard?"
"I don't think it's hard." Su Hua smiled slightly, put her hand under the table, grabbed Gu Beixian's hand, held it in her palm, and rubbed it gently, "He is very good, and he works very hard to cure the disease."
Qin Shu was sad and envious, "It's great. Being like you means your life is not in vain. This is what I imagined love to be like."
Suddenly there was the sound of subtle footsteps behind him.
Similar to tiptoeing.
Su Hua's ears were sharp. She heard it and looked up.
Qin Shu looked at her and turned back.
I saw a tall and majestic figure and hurriedly hid behind a ginkgo tree.
How could a tree with a diameter of thirty centimeters cover his figure?
Everyone recognized it was Gu Aoting.
Gu Aoting also felt that he was deceiving himself and others by being like this.
He put the things he was carrying on the ground, turned around and left.
Qin Shu shouted: "Come back! If you want to come, come in an open and honest manner. What are you doing sneakily?"
Gu Aoting came back obediently and walked to the pavilion. His eyelids were slightly lowered and he stared at the ground without saying a word.
Like a child who did something wrong.
Qin Shu glanced at him, "Why are you running?"
Gu Aoting's voice was very low, "Beixian is ill, and I'm afraid you'll settle old scores with me. If I had known you were here, I would have come another day."
Qin Shu was angry and funny, "You'll be fine if you avoid me?"
Gu Aoting remained silent.
"Crack!"
He suddenly raised his right hand and pointed it at his face, giving him a slap in the face, "It was me who failed to protect Bei Xian back then and allowed him to be kidnapped by bad guys, and he ended up like this."
Qin Shu's face was expressionless, "Is it useful?"
"It's no use."
"It's no use. Are you still pretending?"
"Crack!"
Gu Aoting raised his hand to shine on his face and slapped him again.
He really blames himself.
Hit it hard.
With two slaps, his thick skin turned red.
He raised his hand and was about to slap him a third time.
Gu Beixian stopped him, "It's over now, don't blame yourself."
Gu Aoting's raised hand froze in mid-air, and his eyes were wet.
After all, he was the one who brought him up, so I know I feel sorry for him.
He really wanted to hold Gu Beixian in his arms, cuddle him up like he did when he was a child, and let him ride on his neck.
It's a pity that he has grown up and is taller than him. He has long been immobilized and can no longer ride on his neck.
Gu Aoting was stuck there, his throat tight, "My child, please get well soon. Dad has always reserved your place for you. After much competition, you still have it. If you come back early, dad can take a breather."
Gu Beixian didn't answer and just said: "I'm sleepy and I want to go back to my room to sleep."
Qin Shu and Gu Aoting said in unison: "Go quickly and tell me if you need anything."
It was the first time that the two of them had such a tacit understanding.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Shu glanced at Gu Aoting with disgust.
Gu Aoting gave her a flattering smile.
Gu Beixian warned: "You two take your time and talk carefully. Don't argue."
Qin Shu and Gu Aoting hurriedly said: "It's not noisy. Don't worry."
Gu Beixian stood up and winked at Su Hua.
Su Hua understood, took his arm, and they walked side by side towards the building.
Qin Shu stood up and wanted to leave.
Gu Aoting pressed her shoulders and pushed her down, "My son said, let's talk slowly."
"I have nothing to talk about with you."
"Then listen, I'll tell you."
Qin Shu rolled her eyes at him, but didn't leave again.
Gu Aoting was secretly happy, took off his suit and put it on her body.
Qin Shu shook her shoulders and shook off the suit on her body, "It's summer, are you going to heat me to death?"
Gu Aoting picked up the suit that had fallen on the chair and put it on her again, "Although it is late spring or early summer, it is quite cold in the afternoon. It is best to wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold."
Qin Shu couldn't shake it off, "Do you have anything else?"
"Ah? It's okay."
"Then you still won't leave?"
Gu Aoting didn't want to leave, so he looked around and said, "I didn't realize that this villa has a pretty good view before."
He raised his chin and pointed at a tree next to him, "Look at this hibiscus flower, it's blooming so beautifully. The tree must be ten or eight years old."
Qin Shu subconsciously looked up and said, "It's almost the same. I sent someone to buy this tree back then."
"Yes." Gu Aoting replied absently.
He gently moved to the chair next to her and sat down. He raised an arm and tentatively put it on her shoulder.
My heart was pounding like an old deer.
His breathing stopped.
Hold your breath and concentrate.
She was afraid that Qin Shu would explode in the next second.
After Qin Shu finished looking at the hibiscus flowers, she turned around and suddenly saw Gu Aoting sitting next to her.
The arm was only a millimeter away from her shoulder.
Qin Shu stood up in confusion, "Are you crazy?"
Gu Aoting was so frightened that his heart was pounding.
He pressed his chest and said shamelessly: "My son is watching. Although he always criticizes me, he wants you to get back together with me more than anyone else. When you were a child, you took Nanyin abroad with you. At night, I would sleep with him in my arms, and he would dream.
They were all calling for mom. I called you and wanted you to come back. He was afraid that you would be unhappy, so he told me that he didn’t want his mom, and having a dad was enough."
Qin Shu felt so distressed that she felt like she was being held back by something, and her throat hurt from holding it back.
She choked and said, "Can you stop moral kidnapping? You always use trouble to expose my scars."
Gu Aoting said cautiously: "If we reconcile and Beixian is happy, maybe his illness will be cured."
Qin Shu raised her chin and pursed her lips in silence.
"Plop!"
Gu Aoting knelt on the ground, took out a jewelry box from his trousers pocket, opened it, and found a sparkling diamond ring inside.
The huge white diamond is so bright that it hurts the eyes.
Qin Shu was startled, "What are you doing?"
Gu Aoting looked up at her, with piety in his shrewd and sophisticated eyes, "I didn't propose to you when I married you. Is it too late to make up for it now?"
