As if she felt Gu Qingyan's uneasiness, she added, "I know what I'm doing. I'm no longer a child."
She was no longer a child. The little pride she had ten years ago, the pride that was even higher than the heavens, all disappeared with the wind.
Those faintly discernible emotions, doubts, impulses and hopes, all floated into the distance along with Tan Yizhe's change, never to return.
Who told her to hold back? When she was in a daze, it was always Gu Qingyan who would give her a generous shoulder and hold back those tears. Every time Tan Yizhe arrived late, or missed a chance, who could she blame?
It doesn't matter if it's fake love or fake love, between them, they would still miss each other and their relationship would never end. Tan Yizhe, do you understand that no matter how much I love you or like you, I can't hold on for so long …
"An Shengmei, let's get married." Gu Qingyan said without hesitation, "I will give you a wedding, I will give you a stable life, allowing you to calm down, we can go anywhere and live freely, only I will accompany you."
"Alright."
Gu Qingyan opened his eyes wide and wrapped his arms around her in disbelief, "You agreed?"
An Shengmei stiffened for a moment, her delicate face tensed up a little, then nodded her head, "You have already proposed many times, I still have to agree to it once, and I'll give you a chance, right?"
She told Gu Qingyan this and also convinced herself that they could give it a try, right? But even so, why did she have the urge to cry?
"Shengmei, I'm very happy … "Rest well, after a few days, we'll go back to Shanghai. I'll take you to see my parents. Shengmei, can you also take me to see your parents in the afternoon?" Gu Qingyan stuck close to her face and held her hand. He intertwined his ten fingers, trying his best to absorb the temperature of her body. This was the first time he was so close to her.
"My parents... They are very ordinary. " An Shengmei covered her lips and yawned. Her stomach was very uncomfortable, probably because she had a hangover, and her head was still dizzy, although she was awake from the shock, but after recovering, she started to have a headache. "Don't disturb me, let me sleep a bit more.
Gu Qingyan covered her with a blanket. He had already dressed when An Shengmei had closed his eyes just now, and now that he had sat by the side of the bed, he couldn't help but smile. His sharp knuckles gently caressed the ambiguous mark on her collarbone as he spoke with a very light tone, "Then rest, I'll go buy breakfast."
An Shengmei glared at him, but after he said those ambiguous words, her face flushed red, and she pulled the blanket over her head, leaving behind only a strand of hair.
Had their relationship changed too quickly? An Shengmei frowned, her fingers grabbing tightly onto her blanket. With her current appearance, sharing a room with Gu Qingyan, she felt that it was really unsafe.
Seeing her shameful look, Gu Qingyan could not help but laugh out loud. Lowering his head, he pulled open her protective shell and gently kissed her lips. An Shengmei could clearly feel his worry about his, and sighed.
"Well, what are you doing!" An Shengmei pushed him away and wiped his lips.
"I'm afraid that this is just a dream. I'm afraid that you'll disappear when I wake up. Shengmei, are you for real?" He lifted her long hair and combed it, making her feel peaceful. "An Shengmei, you're mine, right?"
An Shengmei didn't pay attention to him, and naturally couldn't answer his ambiguous question. When he took back his hair, he didn't realize that when she raised her hand, her round shoulders were exposed, bringing with it a large chunk of her skin. With difficulty, he shifted his gaze away, stood up, coughed twice, to conceal his discomposure. Then, he walked out and carefully closed the door for An Shengmei.
When he was facing An Shengmei, his willpower had decreased by a lot, and furthermore... Remembering that he still had a bunch of worries on his mind, he frowned and relaxed. It was fine now, there were still a few more days. After this period of time, he would return her life to peace.
When An Shengmei woke up again, the clean clothes were already on the side of the bed. After sighing at Gu Qingyan's meticulousness, she got off the bed, and her face flushed when she saw the chaos on the bed.
He turned his gaze away, quickly changed his clothes, and walked out of the room just in time to see a back figure smoking on the balcony. He approached and saw a lot of cigarette butts on the armrests, the weather had already turned warm for the past few days.
"Qing Yan." An Shengmei looked at the phone that was flashing non-stop. Did she shut it so that he wouldn't disturb her?
He gently picked it up. As expected, it was the name of the person who was walking further and further away. When he suddenly realized what his difficult position was, he didn't hang up, but calmly answered, "Tan Yizhe."
"Shengmei, I'm busy. Sorry … I didn't take care of you yesterday, but... Forget it, Shengmei. Where are you now? I was worried about you. Don't be willful, trust me. " Tan Yizhe's voice carried a trace of anger, he was clearly apologizing, but he spoke in a righteous tone, as though the person causing all this trouble was An Shengmei.
An Shengmei didn't really listen to him. The moment she decided on it, Tan Yizhe was already destined to be a passerby.
She turned her head to look at Gu Qingyan, and spoke softly, her voice low, as though she was speaking through lips, but Gu Qingyan understood, and she said …
"Who are you to me?"
Just ask, who are you to me? She was calm and rational, just like how Tan Yizhe had patiently waited for him to answer her questions during the time he was at school.
Gu Qingyan opened his mouth slightly, the corner of his mouth raised. He was 100% sure of his own heart, then what about her? He admitted that he was once again testing the waters, but … He smiled at An Shengmei, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, "Girl, who am I to you?"
"Friend!" She clearly asked him, but who told him to come back with a question?
Tan Yizhe shook the phone in his hand. On the other side of the phone, Tan Yizhe seemed to have heard something, and went silent for a while.
Gu Qingyan took the phone from her hand and said to Tan Yizhe: "An Shengmei is with me, hmm, you do not have to worry, nor do you have the qualifications to worry, I think, you will not have the chance to see her again."
An Shengmei watched as he spoke in a serious tone, even announcing, "That's right, I want to take An Shengmei to travel around the world, to settle down anywhere, and you can … There's no chance left. "
After he hung up the phone, An Shengmei burst out laughing, but he actually held her under her arm and lifted her up like a child, placing her on the balcony railing. Going against the light, he sketched out her facial features little by little, and An Shengmei's eyebrows were very light, but very slender, like a willow leaf.
