Gu Li and his two brothers chatted for a long time in the pavilion, from Gu Li's post-marriage affairs to the Gu family's business. The brothers Gu Baizhi and Gu Huashuo did not say anything bad about Chang An, and the tea was changed several times during the conversation.

While they were chatting, Gu Li suddenly clapped his hands, as if he had thought of something. Gu Baizhi asked, "Li'er, what's wrong? Did you forget something?"

"It's over," Gu Li looked at the sky outside and stood up, "Chang Lang has finished school, I'm going to pick him up at the door."

After saying that, he said, "My two brothers, please wait here first," and hurriedly ran to the door with Zhen'er.

When she arrived at the door, she could already hear the sound of a carriage, so she stretched her head out to look in the direction of the carriage. It was indeed Chang'an's carriage. As soon as she saw Chang'an's carriage stop in front of her, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

As soon as Chang An leaned out of the carriage, he heard Gu Li's voice:

"Chang Lang, you're back!"

Upon hearing this voice, Chang An's fatigue from the whole morning of classes suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face. He came to Gu Li, took her hand directly, and asked:

"Did you miss me today?"

"Of course, as long as Chang Lang is not by my side, I will miss Chang Lang." Gu Li also answered sweetly, and then he tiptoed slightly, regardless of whether there were pedestrians on the road, and kissed Chang An on the face, "See, I really miss Chang Lang."

Chang An smiled dotingly, picked her up and teased her, "Since you think so, I will reward you by not having to walk later. I will carry you back!"

"it is good!"

Chang An and Gu Li had been doing this for a long time, so they were used to it. On the way back to the courtyard, the two of them teased each other. Gu Li moved around in Chang An's arms from time to time, and even stretched out his fingers to rub Chang An's nose; Chang An also lowered his head and rubbed his face against Gu Li's soft cheeks, making her hum.

After teasing each other like this, the two returned to the gate of the courtyard. Only then did they calm down a little, and only then did they hear Zhen'er's low voice:

"Young Master, Sanniang, in the yard..."

"The yard? What happened in the yard..." Gu Li was a little confused, but as he was speaking, his voice suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at the pavilion in the courtyard - the brothers Gu Baizhi and Gu Huashuo were still sitting inside.

Chang An saw that Gu Li suddenly stopped talking, and followed her line of sight, and found Gu Baizhi and Gu Huashuo. Gu Li immediately screamed, covered her face with her hands, and buried her face in Chang An's arms. Chang An was also very embarrassed, and quickly put Gu Li down from his arms. As soon as Gu Li's feet touched the ground, she buried her whole body in Chang An's chest. Chang An also gently patted her back to comfort her. It seemed that she was obviously very shy.

"Second... Second Brothers." Chang An also shouted awkwardly, his voice a little dry, "Why are you here?"

Just now, Gu Baizhi and Gu Huashuo heard the playful noises of Chang An and Gu Li coming from the door, and they looked towards the door at the same time. As a result, they saw Chang An walking in with Gu Li in his arms, and the two of them were teasing each other very intimately. They were immediately frozen in place.

After hearing Chang An's words, the two men came back to their senses and stood up to greet him: "Chang... Yonghe."

Chang An, holding Gu Li in his arms, came to the pavilion and asked in a dry voice, "Brothers, why did you come here so suddenly? Why... why didn't you tell me?"

"I forgot..." Gu Li buried his face in Chang An's arms, looking a little pitiful, and could only speak in a low voice.

"Um...well, since you two brothers are here, would you like to stay and have lunch together before leaving?" Although Chang An was a little embarrassed, he still asked politely.

"No, no, no." The two brothers Gu Baizhi and Gu Huashuo waved their hands quickly.

"We are here just to see Li'er. Now it's time to leave. Goodbye."

The two brothers also bowed and hid to the gate of the courtyard. They were afraid that Chang An and Gu Li would follow them, so they hurriedly said, "No need to see me off, no need to see me off."

Chang An leaned forward and confirmed that the two had left before he let out a long breath, patted Gu Li on the back, and said softly, "They're gone, you can come out now."

Gu Li then raised his face, his whole face flushed, and said aggrievedly: "Just now at the door, I wanted to remind Chang Lang...but I forgot about it in the excitement...I am so embarrassed!"

"It's okay, it's okay," Chang An patted her back and said comfortingly, then turned around and said to Huaiqin and Zhen'er who were still standing behind him, "Well...well, you two can help with the afternoon meal. It's time to eat."

Although the scene just now was very awkward for a while, it only took lunch time for Chang An and Gu Li to calm down. They retreated back to their room in the afternoon and continued to be affectionate with each other.

In the evening, after they had eaten and bathed, they sat at the low table, waiting for their hair to dry while playing with each other. Gu Li sat in Chang An's arms, barefoot, with her long black hair hanging down by her side. At this moment, she was pinching a strand of hair with her little hand, and gently rubbing it against Chang An's face. While rubbing, she hummed a little tune.

At this moment, Gu Li suddenly frowned, quickly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and coughed a few times. Seeing this, Chang An quickly picked up the kettle on the table and poured her a cup of hot water, put it to her mouth, and fed her to drink it.

"Look at you, it's cold at night, and you don't wear an extra layer," Chang An poked Gu Li's nose with his fingertips, "Mother Gu is disobedient!"

"No." Gu Li pouted and played with a strand of hair in her hand.

Chang An looked at her lovingly, stroked her back gently, and murmured, "I don't know when you will be cured, Mother Gu. It must be very uncomfortable to be like this every day."

"Does Chang Lang dislike me?" Gu Li said, turning his head slightly.

"How could that be? I just want Gu Niang to get better soon, so that you can be healthy and do whatever you want without being restricted in any way." Chang An kissed her cheek and said.

When Gu Li talked about his lung disease, he felt a little disappointed and said in a slightly depressed mood: "Actually, my lung disease will take a long time to get better."

"It doesn't matter how long it takes. Anyway, we have a very long life ahead of us, longer than the time you spend on treatment. We can afford to wait." Chang An comforted her.

Faced with Chang An's gentle comfort, Gu Li felt warm in his heart, but he thought of what his two brothers reminded him today, and his mood instantly fell again.

Chang An seemed to have a telepathic connection with the person in his arms. He felt that the person in his arms was a little depressed, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

"No..." Gu Li tried to cover it up, but Chang An gently poked her forehead.

"Why not? I can see it all." Chang An said, "It's okay, if you want to say it, say it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, whatever can make Gu Niang feel comfortable, Gu Niang can do it."

"I..." Gu Li was a little at a loss at this time. He could only bite his lips gently, wondering whether to say it or not.

Chang An, who was holding her, saw her like this and did not force her or put any pressure on her. He just held her and looked at her with tenderness in his eyes.

Finally, Gu Li seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Actually... Chang Lang, have you ever thought about why Dr. Chang forced Chang Lang to marry me?"

"What's wrong?" Chang An raised his eyebrows slightly. He had indeed wanted to ask this question before, but no one told him the answer, so he had to give up.

"It's indeed because of me...to be exact, it's because I have lung disease." Gu Li said, observing Chang An's expression as he spoke.

"Because of Gu Niang? Why?" Chang An was very puzzled and asked.

"I wonder if Chang Lang still remembers the time when I fell into the water in Pingkangfang during the Lantern Festival more than a year ago."

Chang An searched the original owner's memory in his mind and nodded, so Gu Li continued to speak: "In fact, that time Chang Lang got drunk and fell into the water, I brought Chang Lang out..."

Chang An was shocked, but in order not to give Gu Li any psychological burden, he forced himself not to show his surprise on his face.

"Then, because Chang Lang is a man and I am a woman, it was not very smooth to rescue Chang Lang. But he just choked on some cold water. Fortunately, Chang Lang, you are fine." Gu Li said with a relaxed look.

"Then what? Did you get lung disease because of that time when you choked on water?" Chang An frowned and asked, "Tell me quickly, what happened after you choked on water? Did you have a fever or other physical discomfort?"

"......" Gu Li was stunned. She was not stupid. She thought of many possibilities that would happen after she told the story, but she never expected that Chang An would give priority to asking about her illness.

"Yes..." Gu Li answered truthfully, "Then I had a high fever for several days. That's when I got the lung disease."

"In other words, you choked on the water and got a fever while trying to save me, and that's why you got sick?" Chang An suddenly realized, "This disease does take a long time to heal, but we can still wait."

"Chang Lang, doesn't you want to ask me why Dr. Chang forced you to marry me?" Gu Li saw that after listening to Chang An's words, all his emotional changes were just because of his illness.

"When my father found out that I got sick because of Chang Lang, he wanted to compensate me, so... Chang Lang, you also know what happened next."

"I don't care about the problem you mentioned." Chang An said with a smile, "I don't care why my father asked me to marry you. But, you could have said this earlier, why did you wait until today?"

"Because... because I heard before that Chang Lang dislikes business and will look down on me. Then after marrying Chang Lang, I was afraid that Chang Lang would feel burdened after knowing this. I was also afraid that Chang Lang would despise my illness and my weak body." Gu Li said in a low voice.

Suddenly, at this moment, Gu Li suddenly felt a warm touch on his lips. Then he could only see the endless tenderness in Chang An's eyes.

"Stupid Gu Niang, since you got sick because of me, why should I dislike you? It's such a simple truth, why would I feel any psychological burden?" Chang An said.

"My life was saved by Gu Niang. Without Gu Niang, there would be no Chang Lang. So from then on, my life, my body, and my heart belong to you alone, Gu Niang."

"Chang Lang... is mine." Gu Li repeated these words foolishly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"From now on, Chang'an belongs to Gu Li, and Gu Li has Chang'an, okay?" Chang'an hugged Gu Li tighter and said.

"Of course it's good!" Gu Li also leaned on Chang An's shoulder, his breath gently patting Chang An's neck, "I used to be afraid that Chang Lang would feel pressured and leave me because of knowing this."

"What about now? Are you still worried?"

"Don't worry..."

Chang An touched Gu Li's hair and felt it was a little dry, so he stood up with her in his arms and gently put her on the bed. Only then did he realize that Gu Li had fallen asleep, and he was suddenly a little amused. He didn't expect that she would fall asleep in his arms, so silently.

Chang An pulled the quilt over her and covered her with it, then gently kissed her forehead, his eyes filled with the lovely girl in front of him.

"So it's you..."
