He's just a stand-in

Sheng Lai reacted, quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, and then apologized to Gu Lichuan, "Li Chuan, I'm sorry, I forgot, I drank too much, Li Chuan, don't be angry."

"Yeah." Gu Lichuan responded lightly, thinking of Liu Huaiqiu who was waiting for him in women's clothes in the villa, the corners of his lips curled up, and he couldn't help speeding up the pace of going home.

-

in the villa.

Liu Huaiqiu reheated the food that had gone cold, and sat uneasy at the dining table, waiting for Gu Lichuan who had not returned for a long time.

After staying for a while, Gu Lichuan hadn't come back yet.

Liu Huaiqiu took out his mobile phone, hesitating whether to send another message to Gu Lichuan, asking when Gu Lichuan will be home, after all, the food will not taste good if it is reheated too often.

Just when Liu Huaiqiu was hesitating, there was movement at the door.

Liu Huaiqiu immediately put away his mobile phone, happily ran to the door and waited to welcome Gu Lichuan.

"Li Chuan, you are finally back! I miss you so much."

As soon as Gu Lichuan opened the door, he saw Liu Huaiqiu who was looking at him with eyes full of light. Just as he was about to respond to Liu Huaiqiu, he suddenly found that Liu Huaiqiu was not wearing a skirt, and his face turned cold immediately.

"Liu Huaiqiu, have you forgotten what you promised me before?"

"What, what? Li Chuan, what's wrong with you? Did someone upset you?"

The smile on Liu Huaiqiu's face froze, and the light in his eyes also dimmed.

This is the first time that he and Gu Lichuan have been together for such a long time, and Gu Lichuan calls him by his first and last name.

Liu Huaiqiu's previously suppressed emotions surged up again, bit his lip sadly, lowered his head, and tried his best not to let the tears fall.

"It's nothing."

Seeing Liu Huaiqiu like this, Gu Lichuan's heart softened, he couldn't say anything more, closed the door angrily, and handed the cold medicine in his hand to Liu Huaiqiu.

"Cold medicine, although it is summer now, but there is air conditioning in the house, no matter how tired you are, remember to go to the room to rest."

"it is good!"

Liu Huaiqiu took the cold medicine from Gu Lichuan's hand, and the smile spread all over his face again.

He didn't expect that Li Chuan would take it to heart if it was just a random joke he made, and even went to buy him cold medicine.

And it can be seen that Li Chuan is very unhappy now, but he still remembers him in his heart, which shows that Li Chuan still likes him.

Instead of treating him as someone else's substitute.

He is Liu Huaiqiu, not someone's substitute.

Gu Lichuan turned around and entered the room, seeing the romantic living room decorated by Liu Huaiqiu, his face softened a lot, "Why is it so beautifully decorated?"

Liu Huaiqiu put the cold medicine brought back by Gu Lichuan on the coffee table, walked up to Gu Lichuan with a smile, took out the gift he had prepared earlier,

"Li Chuan, happy first anniversary of love!"

"First anniversary of love?" Gu Lichuan stared at the ring in Liu Huaiqiu's hand, a little puzzled.

Liu Huaiqiu nodded with a smile, "That's right, today is our first anniversary together, I know you are too busy to remember these things, but it's okay, I just remember."

Gu Lichuan was stunned, took the gift from Liu Huaiqiu's hand, stretched out his arms to wrap around Liu Huaiqiu's waist, hugged Liu Huaiqiu on his body, and started to apologize, "Sorry, I really forgot."

"Didn't you catch a cold? Why are you still thinking about arranging these things? Are you tired?"

Liu Huaiqiu nestled in Gu Lichuan's arms, and shook her head sweetly, "I'm not tired, this is our first important day together, I want to commemorate it well."

Gu Lichuan stared at those shining star eyes, shook his head, kissed Liu Huaiqiu's swollen eyes, and asked softly: "Is there work tomorrow? If not, I'll take you out to play and give you gifts, okay?" good?"

"Okay, I don't have a job tomorrow, but I have to go back early in the morning the day after tomorrow. Sister Yao helped me take on a new scene."

Liu Huaiqiu put the ring on Gu Lichuan's ring finger, and then raised Gu Lichuan's hand. Under the light of the crystal lamp, the ring was exquisite and dazzling.

"Li Chuan, do you look good?"

Gu Lichuan: "It's pretty, Qiuqiu's choice is pretty."

Since reading that diary, the word "Qiuqiu" is like a time bomb buried in Liu Huaiqiu's heart.

Hearing "Qiuqiu" from Gu Lichuan's mouth at this time, Liu Huaiqiu's previously happy mood suddenly sank.

Liu Huaiqiu tightened the ring box in his hand, mustered up his courage, and asked tentatively: "Li Chuan, I think the name Qiuqiu is a bit like a girl's name, from now on, can you call me Huaiqiu?"

Gu Lichuan was stunned, his face turned cold following Liu Huaiqiu's words, "No, have you not been busy with work recently, so you have time to think so much?"

Afterwards, Gu Lichuan put Liu Huaiqiu on the sofa, got up and walked towards the dining table.

"Work hard when you have time, don't think about those messy things, 'Qiuqiu' is my pet name for you, I can call you whatever I like."

"If you don't like my address, you can go to whoever calls it if you like it."

Hearing Gu Lichuan's cold tone, Liu Huaiqiu felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Then he got up quickly, went to sit in front of Gu Lichuan, pretended to be nonchalant, and pulled the corners of his mouth forcefully, showing a smirk, "Okay, listen to Li Chuan, Li Chuan can call me whatever he likes."

"Ah."

Seeing that Gu Lichuan didn't look at Liu Huaiqiu, he casually ate a few mouthfuls of the candlelight dinner that Liu Huaiqiu carefully prepared, then stood up, with a cold tone,

"Eat by yourself. I'm not hungry. I'll go up first. Come up quickly after eating."

"it is good."

Liu Huaiqiu lowered his head, not to let Gu Lichuan see the sadness that was about to overflow from his eyes.

After Gu Lichuan left, hot tears dripped down Liu Huaiqiu's face into the cold food.

Liu Huaiqiu didn't care, and mechanically put the food in his mouth.

It wasn't until he vented the emotions in his heart that he got up and put away the untouched food.

Then he put the ring that Gu Lichuan had given him in the future, on the ring finger of his right hand, and went upstairs.

-

in the bedroom.

Gu Lichuan had already finished washing, and he was lying on the bed and swiping his phone. The ring that Liu Huaiqiu put on for him earlier was placed on the bedside table, alone, making people feel sad when they saw it.

On Gu Lichuan's side, there was a white dress and a wig.

Hearing the movement, he raised his head, saw Liu Huaiqiu coming in, and asked, "Have you finished eating?"

Liu Huaiqiu nodded, and walked to Gu Lichuan's side, seeing the ring and the white dress that had been taken off, his expression changed.

Gu Lichuan didn't notice anything wrong with Liu Huaiqiu's face, and continued to lower his head to brush his phone, "Since you're done eating, go wash up, and change into your skirt after washing."

"You must do what you promised, and don't blame me for being angry if you can't do it next time."

Liu Huaiqiu didn't respond, picked up the dress that Gu Lichuan had chosen and looked at it, and found that it was a cute style with a bow again, and his heart ached.

Liu Huaiqiu stroked the soft dress, looked at Gu Lichuan affectionately, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Li Chuan, do you like me?"
