Gu Rou still didn't speak, but her tears fell down like broken pearls. She had been waiting for this moment for too many years.
Although she had only been with Zhao Chen for three years, and they were still very young, nearly seventeen years had passed, but the weak figure who had been protecting her when she was most helpless in her life did not follow her.
forgotten by the passage of time.
On the contrary, the longer time passed, the clearer the figure became, and the more intense the longing in her heart became.
As Mother Lu said, after graduating from college, she actually had a better job and there was no need to come back here. But because of the longing in her heart, she looked forward to the day when the person she could only see in her dreams would one day
will suddenly appear in front of her.
Seeing Gu Rou's tears welling up, Zhao Chen panicked, thinking that Gu Rou was angry because of what she just said, so he quickly comforted her: "Sister Gu Rou, don't be angry, I was just joking with you..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, Gu Rou cried even harder, broke away from his arms, ran to the bed, sat down, turned her back to him, and completely ignored him.
Zhao Chen was panicked at this time. Even though he had had many women before, they were just physical needs. In fact, he didn't understand women at all.
Especially a woman like Gu Rou who he cares about very much.
Seeing her sad expression, Zhao Chen's heart felt like a knife.
"Hey, my sister Gu Rou, what do you want to do? Can you please stop crying first? If there is something wrong with me, why don't you tell me and I can change it?"
Gu Rou still ignored him, turned around, and continued to wipe her tears behind his back.
Zhao Chen was so anxious that he almost cried together.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his two paws and scratched Gu Rou twice. Just like when he was a child, Gu Rou immediately burst into laughter and giggled.
"How dare you disobey me? Let's see how I deal with you..."
Zhao Chen scratched Gu Rou upwards for a while, which made Gu Rou laugh out loud and keep shrinking back on the bed, but Zhao Chen took advantage of the victory and pursued her, and the two of them fell into a quarrel on the bed.
"Brother Chen...Brother, I was wrong..."
Gu Rou laughed so hard that she couldn't hold her breath and burst into tears. She couldn't bear it anymore and had to beg for mercy.
"It's good that you know you were wrong." Zhao Chen stopped his hand and said domineeringly: "From today on, you are my wife!"
Gu Rou blinked her eyes, looked at Zhao Chen, and said worriedly for a long time: "You are still as domineering as when you were a child. I don't even know what you have been doing these years, but you want someone to be your wife."
"Don't worry, I am neither married nor have a girlfriend." Zhao Chen seemed to be what Gu Rou was thinking.
Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared in Gu Rou's eyes, and she didn't speak again, obviously acquiescing to what Zhao Chen said.
Looking at Gu Rou's expression, Zhao Chen thought to himself: "No matter what happens in the future, I will never let her down."
In Zhao Chen's heart, just like in Gu Rou's heart, even after nearly twenty years, he still has not forgotten her, but in the past, it was just a brother's feelings for his sister.
But since I saw the rag doll on the bed just now, the relationship between brother and sister has changed.
Zhao Chen remembered that he was only eight years old at the time and Gu Rou was only six years old. One day Gu Rou was bullied by a boy. After Zhao Chen taught the boy a lesson, Gu Rou suddenly said to Zhao Chen, "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"
Have you always protected me?'.
Shameless Zhao Chen immediately replied, 'As long as you become my wife, I will protect you for the rest of your life and never let anyone bully you.' After hearing this, Gu Rou immediately agreed.
In fact, at that time, neither Zhao Chen nor Gu Rou knew what daughter-in-law meant. They just saw the word daughter-in-law from the 14-inch black and white TV in the orphanage, which meant that the two of them could be together.
together.
When Gu Rou was a child, she was petite and cute, like a doll. Many people wanted to bully her. Because she was an orphan and had no parents to stand up for, she really wanted to find someone to protect her.
And Zhao Chen, who has always protected her, is undoubtedly the best choice.
After Gu Rou agreed, Zhao Chen also imitated the plot on TV and spent all his savings to buy a rag doll for Gu Rou on the street for one yuan, saying it was a token of love.
The old rag doll beside Gu Rou's bed was given to her by Zhao Chen, which is why Zhao Chen dared to suddenly say that Gu Rou was his wife.
Perhaps it was because of this trace of childhood sweetheart that the seeds were planted in the hearts of the two of them, which continued to take root and sprout in the past seventeen years, making the two of them unable to forget each other.
Gu Rou sat up, leaned gently on Zhao Chen, and looked at Zhao Chen expectantly, "Brother Chen, can you tell me how you have lived these years?"
"Of course..." Zhao Chen chuckled and told Gu Rou roughly some of the things that happened over the years. He also asked Gu Rou from time to time, and Gu Rou answered truthfully.
The two of them just stood shoulder to shoulder, talking softly about every detail of these years without any distracting thoughts. Time passed quickly in this harmonious atmosphere.
Until Mother Lu came to ask the two of them to eat.
After dinner, Gu Rou took Zhao Chen into the room and told each other about their past years, as if they were trying to make up for the seventeen years of separation through each other's stories.
It wasn't until midnight that the two of them went to have a rest.
The next day was Monday. Although people couldn't help but shiver under the cold wind as soon as they went out, the sky was clear. After breakfast, and after the children were sent to school, Gu Rou suddenly looked at Zhao Chen and said
: "Brother Chen, can you take me to work?"
"Of course." Brother Zhao Chen smiled, pushed Gu Rou's bicycle over and said, "Sit on."
Gu Rou was not polite, got on the bicycle, gently hugged Zhao Chen's waist, leaned on Zhao Chen's back, and was carried away from the orphanage by Zhao Chen with a happy look on her face.
She finally had someone to accompany her to work, and it was her brother Chen. From now on, she no longer had to envy her colleagues for having boyfriends to accompany her.
The College of Foreign Languages is a private middle school that was built only ten years ago. The teaching quality here is very high. Two-thirds of the students admitted to key universities in Jinlin City are from here.
Of course, its cost is also directly proportional to the quality of teaching, and children from ordinary families simply cannot afford it. Therefore, it is also called an aristocratic school.
It took the two of them only twenty minutes to arrive at the foreign language school. It was the peak time for school, and the entire school entrance was blocked by all kinds of cars.
However, ordinary cars stop tens of meters away from the school gate. Only those cars worth more than 500,000 yuan can drive to the school gate, and some of them even drive directly into the school.
And someone like Zhao Chen who rides a bicycle is definitely unique.
Gu Rou, who was still a hundred meters away from the school gate and had been sitting quietly on the mountain, suddenly said: "Brother Chen, I'm here."
"Not yet, I'll take you there." Zhao Chen chuckled, as if he didn't notice the rules at the school gate at all, and continued riding his bicycle forward.
Gu Rou hesitated for a moment, said nothing, and sat obediently behind the car.
Zhao Chen rode the bicycle very steadily, and he rode the thin bicycle like a swimming fish. He shuttled between the cars at will, leaving everyone around him stunned.
"You dare to ride a bicycle towards the door. Is this kid crazy?"
"You don't know the rules!"
A group of car owners and family members talked about it with anger in their tone.
Although the school does not stipulate that bicycles are not allowed to arrive at the school gate, there is a set of unspoken rules. Zhao Chen ran in front of them on such a broken bicycle. Isn't this a slap in their face?
"Brother Chen, I'll get off here!" Gu Rou heard the discussion of the car owners and whispered to Zhao Chen uneasily. She has worked here for several years, so she naturally knows the consequences of offending these people.
"We'll be there soon." Zhao Chen pretended not to hear the noise from the parents and laughed, with no intention of stopping.
Gu Rou looked at Zhao Chen, a touch of happiness flashed across her face, and she said nothing. She came to work here, and the most important thing was to wait for Zhao Chen to come back. Now that her goal was achieved, the worst she could do was not want this job.
In her heart, protecting her brother Chen is the most important thing.
Suddenly, a roar of cars came from the front, and a BMW rushed towards this direction at a speed of over 100 per hour, startling everyone on the road to jump.
But the BMW didn't slow down at all, but continued to rush towards the school gate.
Coincidentally, Zhao Chen's bicycle carrying Gu Rou arrived at the gate at this time, and he couldn't let it go.
Seeing that the BMW was about to hit the bicycle, everyone who saw this scene opened their eyes wide, opened their mouths, and were all shocked.
The originally noisy school gate suddenly became silent. Who would have thought that a car accident would occur. At the current speed of the BMW, the two people on the bicycle would definitely die.
Everyone looked at the impending car accident in horror. Gu Rou, who was leaning on Zhao Chen's back, also noticed the approaching danger. Her pretty face turned pale with fright, her body was trembling, and her hands subconsciously hugged Zhao Chen.
It tightened even more and my eyes were closed.
Everyone felt that the car accident was unavoidable, and the tragic scene after the two people were hit appeared in their minds. Some timid people quickly closed their eyes, unable to bear to see the bloody scene.
"bump……"
The BMW hit the bicycle, and the bicycle was immediately shattered into pieces. However, no one was hit because at the previous moment, Zhao Chen grabbed Gu Rou, jumped up from the bicycle, and avoided the BMW.
"ah……"
Gu Rou let out a scream of horror and closed her eyes subconsciously. But after waiting for a while, no pain came from her body. Then she opened her eyes and found Zhao Chen hugging her tightly and standing on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Zhao Chen looked at Gu Rou nervously, but his face was extremely ugly.
"I'm fine." Gu Rou shook her head and subconsciously turned her head to look. The bicycle they had just ridden had turned into a pile of debris and was scattered all over the ground. However, the place where they stood was already nearly ten meters away from the gate.
rice.
Gu Rou thought it was an illusion just now, but after seeing all this, she finally understood that this was not an illusion at all. It was Brother Chen who saved her. For this reason, she admired Zhao Chen even more.
