The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 60 Extra Story [-]: My Family Has a Girl
At three o'clock in the morning, he suddenly woke up.Subconsciously groping to the side, he touched a little soft hair tip, and then the back of Du Wan's head.The temperature in his palm is not an illusion, but his heart still beats fast.It wasn't until he heard the steady breathing of the person in his arms that he finally calmed down slightly.

It has been more than two years since Du Wan's last surgery.But when he falls asleep at night, he still wakes up suddenly like this from time to time.I thought it was well covered up and would not be noticed, until one day watching TV together, a hand slowly came over, covered the back of his hand, and patted him.When he wanted to take it back as if nothing had happened, he held it back calmly and said, "What are you doing?"

She stopped for a moment, and with a groan, she suddenly rolled into his arms and hugged him tightly.He thought she was being coquettish again, so he touched the back of the head as a gift, and he heard her say: "I will always live well. Don't worry."

He was only silent for a moment, and said, "Where did you see that I was worried? I wasn't worried."

She muttered in a low voice, "It seems that you are not the one who suffers from insomnia at night", thinking that he didn't hear it, and then raised her voice and said, "I'll just comfort you. You don't even cooperate. Anyway, where are you? It's right there. I will definitely live on forever and stay with you well." After a pause, he boldly added, "Good boy."

He looked at the back of her head and stroked the back of her neck with his fingers, wanting to kiss her without any scruples.In the end, he restrained himself, only hugged her very tightly, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Can you try saying the last two words again?"

This is the benefit of staying together for many years.We are familiar with each other's fluctuations bit by bit.From childhood habits to emotional changes, even if you don't care about it, the other party has already noticed it.This kind of life is so good that the more you enjoy it, the less you want to let it go.

And how lucky he was, the person he held on to didn't leave with the god of death after all.

In the late spring more than ten years ago, he went to visit the Hope Primary School in the mountains.Even so, many people dissuaded him from moving forward on his behalf.His secretary said to him: "Mr. Gu is currently hospitalized due to illness, and you are taking care of the Gu family on your behalf. There are many things to be busy now, and the time can't be scheduled at all. How about I go there for you? Just for a school I hope that the primary school ceremony will go back and forth for at least a week, the time and cost you have invested is too high, and it is not worth it to be honest."

He said: "Since you have promised, you should go."

"It was Wang Mi who made a mistake in agreeing to this..."

He asked mildly: "The result is already like this. The process is important?"

"...There are bad cars and horses there, and there was an earthquake last year, and now there is nothing to do, so you may not be used to it when you go."

He smiled and said, "You have studied Chinese as an undergraduate, but you have a set of idioms?"

The secretary was serious: "Report to the leader, I have been a Chinese class representative for 12 years in elementary school, junior high school and high school."

In the end, I still went there.Along the way, the cliffs are circling and the trees are thick.During this period, no one was seen for a whole day.It took nearly three days to travel from T City to the mountains.When I arrived in the town, it was as poor as I imagined.The mayor received him in Mandarin, which was not very fluent, with a unique accent of mountain people at the end of his words, and he held his hand tightly to express his gratitude.

The simplicity of the people in the mountains is far beyond the comparison of his social circle in T City.Some parents came with their children to thank him for his generosity.The mayor killed a chicken that had just started laying eggs at home to cook for him.The people in this place know how to be grateful and reciprocate, which made him feel that it is worthwhile to come here.After lunch, I visited the elementary school and returned to the mayor's house at dusk.To be honest, at that time, he didn't think that this mountain town would have more connection with him.It is even more impossible to think that for many years after this, every year in the late spring, he will return to the mountains.

It was dark in the evening that day.The sunset behind the distant mountains is overlapping, which is different from T City.He squinted his eyes and praised the beauty of the mountain scenery to the mayor.There are children playing and laughing nearby.They passed by carefully, thinking that their activities should not be disturbed.Unexpectedly, a little girl plunged into his arms.

Sometimes, fate is as hateful as it is lovely.

He hugged subconsciously, and touched the soft and beautiful hair on the back of the little girl's head by the way.Look at her wearing a suspender dress, grabbing off the blindfold with a confident smile.See a pair of black and bright eyes.Seeing her startled slightly.Then, seeing her whole face flushed red in an instant, it was comparable to the most beautiful sunset he had ever seen that night.

He hadn't encountered such a good joke in many years.Just feel fresh.What's even more fresh is that when the little girl apologized to him under the threat of the mayor, she actually spoke a mouthful of waxy and soft Mandarin.

——Many years later, Jiang Yannan teased and asked him during a game, why he, who has always been cold-tempered, would take the trouble to bring Du Wan back to T City, and then adopted him by his side until she grew up.His first answer was: "She is Du Sicheng's daughter, I can't let it go after knowing this fact."

Jiang Yannan squinted at him: "I think this is only part of the reason."

His second answer was: "Don't you think Du Wan is more sensible and worry-free to adopt than other girls?"

"But no matter how sensible and worry-free, it's not the reason why you adopted it. Aren't you used to living alone?"

His third answer was: "But it's nice to have a little girl around, it's fun."

"Gone?"

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else?"

Most of the people around him were surprised by his behavior.It's not like he hasn't thought about it himself.But he couldn't even find the answer.All I know is that in the late spring of that year, he took Du Wan's hand and set foot on T City for the first time, and saw her raise her eyes to look at the busy traffic on the street in the distance. At that moment, there seemed to be a trace of desire in his subconscious The idea of ​​growing up with her.Even, at the moment when Du Chengchen gave up Du Wan's guardianship rights, he was even happy to accept it.

Until then, he had been used to being alone.But when there was such an arrogant, shy, energetic, and courageous little girl standing in front of him, he felt that it would be nice if two people could live together under one roof.

He taught Du Wan to taste the most beautiful things in the world.Costumes, jewelry, and the arrogance and restraint that match it.Selfishly feel that she should take it easy and grow up without any scruples.At the same time, she felt that such a lively little girl deserved to have everything.

He gave her the best life possible.In addition, teach her supplementary mathematics, Chinese, and English.Correct pronunciation word by word.The secretary worried that he might be bored, and proposed to find a tutor to substitute for the class.He rejected it without thinking.He didn't think getting along with Du Wan was a waste of time.Every time when making up lessons, Du Wan is used to folding her hands on the table, looking at him with focused and serious eyes, speaking English as well as Mandarin, with a slightly waxy accent, which can remind people of being stripped away. Eggs With White Shells.

He also indulged her naive idea of ​​having some little children.There is little punishment, more connivance, and occasional ridicule.For example, when she pretended to have a heartache and asked the housekeeper to help her skip class, he sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, crossed his legs, flipped through magazines and waited for her to come out.Hearing the ding ding dong dong to clean up the upstairs, and then saw her rushing down the stairs with her skirt in hand, slipping out a water red arc.

Then she watched as she stopped in her tracks the moment she saw him, her pupils dilated slightly, and confronted him with an expression of embarrassment and anger the next moment.

He said calmly, "Going out?"

She froze for a while, and the way she tried to be calm revealed a cuteness: "Ah."

He said, "With whom?"

"..."

"Where to go?"

"..."

"What time do you plan to come back?"

"..."

"But isn't today Wednesday?"

"..."

She gritted her teeth suspiciously, and then shouted angrily: "Aren't you on a business trip? Why did I skip class when I came back early? Why can't I go out to play with Ye Xunxun?"

He said lightly: "Yes. Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"..."

"Or do you want to take a taxi by yourself?"

"..."

He glanced at the dress without a pocket on her body: "Did you bring change when you took a taxi?"

"..."

Seeing her blushing up to the ears on the spot, he thought it was a little funny.He has always lacked a sense of intimacy with children, but for Du Wan, this feeling rarely disappeared.Moreover, he figured out how to deal with her very early on.Including when it's appropriate to tease, what to do if she blows up, and how to soothe her if she's down.

He watched her grow taller and taller, and when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, her bones had stretched out, her complexion was exquisite, and her eyebrows and eyes were black and white.At the small dinner party that day, Jiang Yannan drank a little too much, biting the rim of the cup as a joke: "Du Wan, you see, your brother Yanzhi has been taking care of you all these years, so the 24-year-old man hasn't confessed his first love, and You are still underage now, so he has to continue to focus on taking care of you for at least five or six years. By then, your brother will be 30 years old. No one will want you at such an age. You just look at it for the sake of gratitude , marry him directly in the future, okay?"

Then he saw Du Wan's instantly flushed cheeks and dodging eyes, and then retorted stiffly: "Who, who wants to marry him! I don't want to marry him!"

He knew Du Wan's thoughts, almost at the same time as Du Wan had such thoughts.

Jiang Yannan often ridiculed him for his high EQ, the consequence of this is that it is easy to fool others around, and others may still be grateful.When it comes to relationship issues, it is to habitually reject people thousands of miles away, and is best at isolating all people who you don't like but rush to show your love to a radius of [-] kilometers.He was not sensitive to such compliments, but Jiang Yannan wanted to add another sentence: "In my dreams, I hope to see that your wife can fool you around in the future."

He pressed the hands-free button: "Su Qi, come in to see off the guests."

However, what Jiang Yannan said was absolutely right.His usual procedure for people who confessed to him was to reject them first, and then not to communicate with them again.It's just that he has taken care of Du Wan for so many years, so this process must be broken no matter what.What's more, he even felt that when Du Wan was 20 years old, if she still maintained this attitude and did not change, then it would be good for him to marry her casually.

He was just worried that the popularity of adolescent girls was only three percent.He was ten years older than her, and one day she would realize this and find that there was someone more compatible than him in the world.

But he gradually realized that for himself, in this world, there might be no one more suitable for him than Du Wan.

Some people say that he changed Du Wan's life completely.He believes that such effects should be said to be mutual.He has always been calmer and more mature than his peers, but at the same time he is emotionally weak and careless in management.He has always made a very clear distinction between superficial coping and inner concern in interpersonal relationships.Not only Jiang Yannan, but even Ye Jin once accused him of being chillingly gentle and too calm. After so many years of recollection, he couldn't find a time when he lost control.

One day, when he was in a good mood, his secretary boldly said to him: "Mr. Gu, do you know that all the women in the company are envious of Miss Du Wandu now?"

"How to say?"

The secretary replied earnestly: "We all agree that when you are in front of us, you are like a god who does not eat fireworks, and when you are in front of Du Wan, you are like a normal mortal."

"..."

From Du Wan to 22 years old, he once thought that he would grow old with Du Wan like this.

After so many years of precipitation, he slowly figured out that she cared about his feelings no less than he did.Many times when she pretended to be asleep, she could feel her daring to touch her.She would sneak peeks at him when she thought he wasn't paying attention.And running to the study to be with him when he was working too long.And every time he hugged her and kissed her inch by inch, he could see her trembling eyelashes like butterfly wings and her slightly flushed cheeks.

It was difficult to find a reason why she would dislike him.Except for the things Yan Yu told her, and the sentence she had repeatedly confirmed with him - Gu Yanzhi, we are getting a divorce.I've fallen in love with someone else.

Within a month after the divorce, his expression was so stern that no one dared to get close to him.Even when Jiang Yannan joked with him, he had to look at his face.Later, Jiang Yannan dragged him to the bar. He only asked for a glass of water, and held it in his hand without saying a word.Jiang Yannan, on the other hand, ordered a glass of vodka, glanced at him, and said with a smile, "It's been a month, and you still haven't felt relieved? You seem to be in a bad mood, have you suffered from insomnia recently?"

He said: "I can't think clearly in some places. And, I feel more and more..."

"What do you think?"

He raised his eyelids: "I think the divorce is too hasty, and Du Wan is deliberately hiding something."

"How to say?"

He shook his head slightly, and put the white water back on the table: "It's just a feeling."

He slept late and lightly that night.I had a dream halfway.

In the dream, there seemed to be Du Wan's soft voice calling his brother.There are two times when she calls him like this.One is acting like a baby, and the other is panic when encountering trouble.The second type is rarely encountered, but he clearly heard her crying in his dream.

He heard her say, brother, my ankle hurts so much, please help me.

The cry was very slight, but it made him wake up suddenly.

The clock on the wall read four o'clock in the morning.But he never fell asleep again.Thinking motionless until dawn.I feel that the real reason for the divorce is gradually being solved, but there is a faint deeper panic.

The first clear bird song of the day sounded outside.He picked up his cell phone and called Yan Yu.

The moment the phone was connected, he stroked the diamond ring on his ring finger that he had never taken off, and said coldly, "Yan Yu, what did you and Du Wan hide from me?"

He watched a movie with Du Wan in his arms at night, thinking about these memories midway.Unexpectedly, two fingers grabbed his skirt: "What are you thinking?"

He grabbed her palm by the way, put it to his mouth and kissed: "I miss you."

Looking at her, her eyes were a little wandering, but she couldn't help asking: "...what do you miss me?"

"Thinking about how you can give birth to a child more safely in the past few months."

You can basically predict her reaction.So she kept looking at her with malicious intentions, and she saw her cheeks turn red a little bit, and finally plunged into his arms suddenly, with a muffled hey.

He patted her on the back lightly, with a slight smile in his voice: "This time, it's finally acting like a baby?"

"..."

The hollow of the leg was kicked hard by her in anger, and he laughed and said, "Are you sleepy, let me carry you back to the room to sleep?"

After a while, she heard her whispering, "But I'm sinking now."

He kissed her hair and coaxed her: "I know."

The Xifu crabapple in the house is just about to bloom.The buds are bright red, like rouge.When he carried her upstairs, he smelled a sweet smell.

At this moment, the world is gentle and beautiful enough.
