Mr. Gu, stop being abusive, Miss Xu is marrying your brother.

Behind the curtain, Xu Yan's body stiffened for a moment, and she listened warily to the movements in the living room.

Was it her auditory hallucination or an illusion.

Slowly opening the curtains, Xu Yan glanced into the dim living room.

There was no light in the room, but the fireworks outside the window reflected a figure.

There he stood.

Just standing there, like a god suddenly appearing in the darkness to save her.

Xu Yan sat on her knees on the ground, her whole body stiff. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound.

She was afraid that this was a dream and that when she woke up, everything would be an illusion.

"Wife..." Gu Chenyan spoke again, his voice hoarse as if his vocal cords were injured. "So hungry."

Xu Yan stood up in panic, looked at Gu Chenyan, and stumbled over.

"You..." Xu Yan's whole body was trembling, her hands tightly grasping Gu Chenyan's clothes.

Is it real?

"I'm back." Gu Chenyan opened his arms and his voice was slightly choked.

Xu Yan collapsed instantly, hugged Gu Chenyan and cried.

The tight string finally relaxed.

Gu Chenyan hugged Xu Yan tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

"Are you still leaving..." Xu Yan asked in a low voice. She was afraid that Gu Chenyan would disappear again soon.

"Maybe we have to leave for a while." Gu Chenyan smiled and patted Xu Yan's back comfortingly. "You can do just fine without me."

Xu Yan closed her eyes and shook her head desperately.

She doesn't want to be alone anymore.

She is afraid.

"You did well without me." Gu Chenyan held Xu Yan's cheek and spoke softly. "Don't be afraid, I will always be here."

"They said you were dead." Xu Yan clutched Gu Chenyan's clothes tightly. "Is this a dream? Are you the one in the dream?"

Lin Lan said he died of organ failure and infection after burns.

Gu Chenyan lowered his head and kissed Xu Yan's lips, biting lightly. "Is it a dream?"

Xu Yan looked at Gu Chenyan and reached out to turn on the light.

"Don't go..." Gu Chenyan grabbed Xu Yan and hugged her tightly from behind. "Don't turn on the light."

Xu Yan's whole body stiffened and she slowly trembled.

She probably guessed why Gu Chenyan was afraid of her turning on the light.

"The burn... is serious, right?" Xu Yan forced herself to calm down and be strong, as long as he lives...

"Yeah." Gu Chenyan hummed. "I ran away secretly."

Gu Chenyan chuckled. "Hurry up, Fu Sihan will be a dog again soon."

If the hospital called Fu Sihan, he would definitely come to arrest him like a mad dog.

Unfortunately, what Gu Chenyan didn't know was that Fu Sihan's phone number could no longer be reached at the hospital.

"Fu Sihan..." Xu Yan looked at Gu Chenyan warily. "Believable?"

"It's unbelievable." Gu Chenyan shook his head seriously, then hugged Xu Yan and rubbed her seriously. "You just need to trust me, your husband."

Xu Yan felt heartbroken when she heard Gu Chenyan's hoarse voice, but seeing how energetic he was with his encouragement, the injury should be almost healed, right?

"It's just...in the hospital, there won't be any more danger, right?" Xu Yan confirmed again and again.

"I promise." Gu Chenyan wanted Xu Yan to feel at ease.

Xu Yan was dubious. "Then let me turn on the light and I want to see your injuries."

Xu Yan went to turn on the light, but Gu Chenyan still held her tightly and refused to let go.

"Don't turn on the light, don't look, I'm afraid I'll scare you..." Gu Chenyan whispered.

"I'm not afraid..." Xu Yan shook her head with red eyes.

Gu Chenyan still refused to let go.

It was obvious that he was concerned about his injury.

"Honey, I'm a little hungry." Gu Chenyan looked at the dumplings placed on the dining table and spoke again. "Can you cook it for me?"

Xu Yan nodded vigorously and walked to the kitchen.

Gu Chenyan was sitting in the dim living room, looking at Xu Yan who was busy in the kitchen, and smiled weakly.

Such happy days... will really make him addicted.

Xu Yan was cooking dumplings in the kitchen. She was always busy and didn't dare to look back, for fear that when she looked back, Gu Chenyan would be gone.

"eat dumplings."

When I walked out of the kitchen carrying the dumplings, the living room was already empty.

Not a soul was to be seen.

Xu Yan stood there nervously, lowering her head and crying on the ground.

"Something's wrong with Fu Sihan..." Gu Chenyan came out of the bathroom and called Fu Sihan, but no one answered.

Xu Yan raised her head suddenly, sniffed with a smile, and ran over. "Have a meal."

Gu Chenyan nodded. "Fu Sihan doesn't answer the phone, that's not right."

"I'll give Zhang Tong a call." Xu Yan put down the dumplings and went to get her mobile phone.

Gu Chenyan held Xu Yan's wrist. "Wife..."

Xu Yan looked at Gu Chenyan nervously.

She selfishly hoped that he could spend more time with her.

"I have to go." He had to go back as soon as possible.

There are many people staring at Xu Yan now.

"Can I go see you..." Xu Yan lowered her head and asked in a low voice.

Gu Chenyan shook his head.

"Then can I contact you?" Xu Yan nervously grabbed Gu Chenyan's wrist.

Gu Chenyan looked at Xu Yan distressedly, and shook his head despite being cruel.

He promised Fu Sihan... that he would listen to his arrangements and help Xu Yan come out.

When necessary, Xu Yan must learn to face it alone.

She just needed to know that he wasn't dead and that he was always behind her.

She just needed to know that there wasn't a void behind her.

Xu Yan nodded and slowly let go.

She understood what Gu Chenyan meant...

The people behind are hiding in the dark, and we also have to have people in the dark.

"Lin Lan deliberately provoked me today... I was given pears as a gift." Xu Yan whispered, lowering her head and not daring to look into Gu Chenyan's eyes.

She almost collapsed.

"Yanyan." Gu Chenyan held Xu Yan's face and asked her to look into his eyes.

Fireworks were still being set off outside the window, and the sound of firecrackers continued.

In such a romantic environment, Xu Yan thought Gu Chenyan was going to say something romantic.

Like I love you or something like that.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chenyan spoke seriously. "Send her a wreath."

Xu Yan just looked at Gu Chenyan and couldn't help laughing.

Take the bamboo shoots and send a wreath to Lin Lan during the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, this is what Gu Chenyan can think of.

Gu Chenyan also smiled and rubbed Xu Yan's cheek. "Be happy. The rose I managed to raise must not be depressed. Do you understand?"

Xu Yan nodded with red eyes. "Um."

"You have to believe that your man will always be behind you. Don't be afraid of anything. Just do whatever you want." Gu Chenyan hugged Xu Yan again. "Be obedient and eat all the dumplings you cooked, otherwise I will feel bad."

Slowly squatting down, Gu Chenyan leaned on Xu Yan's belly. "Have you obeyed your mother recently?"

"That day...the hospital said...that the father should cooperate with the screening if the child..." Xu Yan didn't want to disappoint Gu Chenyan.

"Don't listen to that doctor. She has a problem. I've asked Fu Sihan to arrange for you to change doctors. Don't be afraid." Gu Chenyan stood up and looked at the time. "Honey, I have to go."

"Don't you want to eat a dumpling?" Xu Yan nervously tugged on the corner of his clothes.

"That doctor in the hospital is more vicious than Fu Sihan. If I come out and eat randomly, he won't give me a chance to come out to see you next time." Gu Chenyan pinched Xu Yan's nose.

"Your husband is in good health and will be back with you soon. Then you can hide me at home and take care of me." Gu Chenyan acted coquettishly to make Xu Yan happy.

Xu Yan can always make him laugh.

He smiled and wiped his tears. "Then come back quickly."

"I will." Gu Chenyan turned around, walked to the door and glanced at Xu Yan. "Don't be afraid, don't come out."

Xu Yan nodded and looked away.

Gu Chenyan walked out of the house and quickly hid in the safe passage.

Enduring the pain and supporting the wall, he took out the painkillers with trembling hands and swallowed them before barely supporting himself to leave.

"Honey...Happy New Year."
