Shen Zhiqian almost followed Gu Youchen's footsteps, walked through the alley, and walked forward.

He didn't understand why he had to keep up, maybe because the emotions in his heart were too torn, or maybe because he found that although he was no longer qualified, he still wanted to see where Ning Qingqing lived before.

Gu Youchen didn't seem to care about his following, and walked straight forward.

Shen Zhiqian watched from afar, until he saw Gu Youchen taking out the key and going to open the door of a courtyard.

The courtyard was very ordinary, but he somehow felt familiar, as if he had seen it in Ning Qingqing's previous photos.

Shen Zhiqian's steps suddenly stopped.

He remembered that a few years ago, when Ning Qingqing was in high school, her grandmother was seriously ill. He secretly borrowed his father's private jet to send Ning Qingqing back to see her grandmother for the last time.

At that time, Ning Qingqing's grandmother was in the hospital in Nancheng. After he accompanied her to see her grandmother, he heard that her mother was coming, so he left silently.

From the beginning to the end, he never met her family, let alone the place where she was born and raised.

But now, he clearly saw the lights on on the second floor of the courtyard in front of him. Although it was so close, it was a distance that he could no longer touch in his life!

Gu Youchen's words continued to echo in his ears.

Gu Youchen said that he met Ning Qingqing here ten years ago!

So, before he knew it, Gu Youchen had been waiting for him and Ning Qingqing to separate for a long time!

And because of the trauma he suffered in his native family, he just missed out on the girl he likes!

After all, that person Gu Youchen will never let go...

In the room, the heat on Ning Qingqing's face ignited again, and she rolled in the quilt countless times.

Woohoo, I'm so nervous, what should I do?

Just as she was forcing herself to count sheep to calm her heart, there was movement at the door.

Ning Qingqing tensed her body instantly, and listened to the movement downstairs with her ears pricked up.

It was Gu Youchen's footsteps, he closed the door and came up.

Ning Qingqing held her breath, feeling that she didn't know how to face the man who bought a condom for a while.

Until the footsteps gradually approached, Gu Youchen walked to the door of her room.

Ning Qingqing's heart was in her throat in an instant, she quickly closed her eyes, her fingers unconsciously grabbed the red sheet under her body.

When the man came to her bed, Ning Qingqing felt a slight pressure on the bed.

She breathed carefully, opened a small gap in her eyelids, and her eyelashes trembled, peeking at what Gu Youchen bought.

However, the man only had two bottles of mineral water in his hand.

Ning Qingqing was startled.

Gu Youchen seemed to have noticed that she was pretending to be asleep, so he leaned down and kissed Ning Qingqing's forehead.

"Qingqing, that store is closed." Gu Youchen's tone was full of regret: "It closed so early."

In the second half of the sentence, there is already some resentment.

Ning Qingqing didn't expect this result at all. While she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little disappointed deep in her heart.

But this disappointment was quickly ignored by her, and she confirmed with wide eyes: "So you didn't buy it?"

Gu Youchen nodded and made up his mind: "I will buy it during the day tomorrow."

Anyway, they have to live here for a day before going.

Ning Qingqing: "..."

She seemed to see the man's burning fighting spirit... no, it was desire.

Gu Youchen unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, drank several gulps, the coolness rolled into his throat, and he felt better.

He got up to find his pajamas, and changed directly by Ning Qingqing's bed.

Only then did Ning Qingqing realize that she wasn't wearing anything.

She hurriedly said weakly: "You Chen, help me get mine."

Gu Youchen nodded, he only had a pair of boxers at the moment, so he went to get Ning Qingqing's and walked to her bedside.

The moonlight peeked in from the window, and Ning Qingqing saw the distinct lines on the man's body.

She opened her eyes wide.

Gu Youchen seemed to notice it, so he leaned over and smiled lowly: "Qingqing can look a little more carefully."

Ning Qingqing was caught and quickly turned into an ostrich, burying herself under the blanket.

Gu Youchen locked her on purpose to prevent her from hiding: "Qingqing, do you want to swim together?"

Here comes the thread again...

Ning Qingqing's ears were hot, but her eyes were honest.

There are only eight words in her mind at the moment - dress to look thin, undress to look fleshy.

The moonlight coated the man's body with a layer of silver, which seemed to have a metallic texture, which made her want to touch it.

But she held back.

When Gu Youchen saw Ning Qingqing's little ostrich's behavior, he didn't expose it. After hugging her, he changed into pajamas.

He went to the next room to carry another thin quilt and put it on the bed.

Facing Ning Qingqing's suspicious gaze, Gu Youchen explained: "I'm afraid I can't control a quilt."

Who asked this? This guy deliberately misinterpreted her meaning!

Ning Qingqing gave Gu Youchen a fierce look.

What she obviously asked was why the two of them slept together in the end, even though they didn't even get any gadgets.

The man was already lying down. The bed was not too wide, at most it was only 1.5 meters. The two of them lay down side by side.

Gu Youchen turned his head to look at Ning Qingqing beside him, and couldn't help but kissed her side face again.

Ning Qingqing found that even with such a kiss now, she felt her heart beating faster.

The next second, her hand was held by Gu Youchen under the blanket.

He ran his fingers through hers, clasping them tightly.

Neither of them spoke, neither fell asleep.

After a while, Gu Youchen said, "Qingqing, I'm really happy today."

Ning Qingqing thought of her daughter's words, and also thought of Gu Youchen's usual appearance in front of her friends, so she couldn't help asking: "You Chen, have you noticed that you love to smile in front of me?"

Gu Youchen was startled, and then his fingers involuntarily touched the corners of his upturned lips.

Immediately, the corners of her lips raised even higher: "Well, I found it."

There is moonlight in his eyes, and when he smiles, the moonlight is like a rippling lake with dancing stars on it: "Because I am very happy to be with you."

Some emotions can't lie to people, they come from the heart, and show out to the corners of the eyes and brows uncontrollably.

Ning Qingqing also raised the corners of her lips: "I'm also very happy."

It's rare for her to talk about her own thoughts: "Actually, the day after I had a flash marriage with you, I regretted it a bit."

She rubbed her head subconsciously: "At that time, I was a little annoyed. I thought why I got married suddenly, and I was with someone I didn't know well. And I've heard things about you before, and they weren't very good."

"But—" she paused: "I think those rumors may have too many subjective factors, because I have also been in contact with you a few times, especially the way you eat desserts, you seem a little obedient."

"Good?" Gu Youchen never thought that one day he would have something to do with this word, and it would be from his own Xiaojiao.wife's mouth.

"Yeah." Ning Qingqing thought for a while: "Anyway, the contrast is cute, which makes me feel that you are not as unapproachable as the rumors say, but give people a very clean feeling."

Gu Youchen couldn't laugh or cry: "It seems that I am a bit dirty in the rumors you have heard in the past?"

Ning Qingqing shook her head: "It's not dirty, but some fierce words, such as deep, cruel, ruthless... But the few times I've met you, I don't think you are that kind of person."

Now I understand, because he likes her, so even when he was still a stranger, she felt a little warm at that time.

"So I comforted myself when I woke up the next day, saying that I chose the path myself, and maybe I can manage the future well with you, so it may not be impossible to be happy."

Ning Qingqing thought of the anxiety that surged up at that time, but at this moment, all the anxiety was soothed sweetly.

Beside him, Gu Youchen hugged her into his arms through the quilt: "It was a bet for you at the beginning, but it was a long-cherished wish for me to come true. But I didn't dare to tell you at the time, for fear of scaring you away."

Ning Qingqing pouted: "Am I so timid?"

Gu Yuchen smiled at her again: "Well, actually, the main reason is that I want you to like me without any burden in your heart, not because you know that I like you, you have to like me responsibly."

He likes that feelings are all sent from the heart, instead of using some catalyst and responsibility constraints to become not pure enough.

The pink crystal and aquamarine on the table are lined up side by side. Ning Qingqing looked at them under the moonlight and said softly: "Then it's not too late for me to say—"

She withdrew her gaze, turned to look at the man beside her, and said, "Gu Yuchen, I like you too."

In an instant, Gu Youchen heard the grand sound of fireworks blooming in his heart!

He didn't know how to express the emotion in his chest at the moment, but he just squeezed Ning Qingqing's hand tightly and nodded in response: "Well, I heard it."

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy also heard it.

"We'll go see grandma and Zhang Lao early tomorrow morning." Ning Qingqing said: "They are all on the back mountain, so we have to walk a little bit of the mountain road."

"Okay." Thinking of the past, Gu Yuchen explained: "At first, I actually wanted to confess to you. I had planned it all. I found the plant pigments in the mountains for my mother, and I just waited to see you. In the end, I was bitten by a snake in the mountains. .”

Ning Qingqing asked: "Is it serious at that time? I heard that a helicopter was used."

Gu Yuchen said: "It seemed to be okay at first. I squeezed out the blood near the wound in time, and I walked down the mountain by myself. After I returned to the inn, I felt something was wrong. I felt cold all over, my head was a little dizzy, and my injured foot It starts to swell.

So I immediately called my family, and they knew that the medical level here might not be enough, so they applied for a temporary flight and took me to Nancheng for treatment.

When I had a fever and was cold all over, I heard you singing to my daughter. It was a folk song from your side, which was the one you sang to me that night.

When I was most difficult, I got through listening to your voice.

Until you bid farewell to my daughter and wanted to leave, I chased you out in a hurry and wanted to call you, but my feet were swollen and I couldn't walk, and you were already far away.

I didn't expect to be separated for so long. "

Hearing this, Ning Qingqing took the initiative to kiss the corner of Gu Youchen's lips to comfort the injured boy.

She asked: "After you recovered, did you go to Nannan and ask me several times?"

Gu Youchen nodded: "But the time I went seems to be unlucky. Although you hadn't gone to the Imperial City for high school at that time, but it was a holiday at that time, you should have gone out of town with your mother?"

Thinking of that moment, Ning Qingqing nodded and said, "Yes, during my vacation, sometimes my mother would pick me up to play for a while, and sometimes my father would let me live with him for a few days."

Gu Yuchen said: "So I missed it every time, until later, my daughter said that you went to school in another place, and I asked her where you went. She was young at that time, so she couldn't tell clearly."

Ning Qingqing said: "My mother said that it is easier to go to school in Dicheng for the college entrance examination, and the quality of teaching is good, so I transferred to high school. That day at Yanyue's school, Teacher Zhang said that you looked for me?"

Gu Yuchen nodded: "Well, I was already abroad at that time, and I saw a party photo in Moments, and you were in it."

He didn't even know how to describe his mood at that time.

The girl he had been looking for for two years appeared in the circle of friends, and the familiar eyebrows made his blood flow backwards!

So after learning which school Ning Qingqing was in, even though he heard that she was Shen Zhiqian's girlfriend, he flew back to the Imperial City right away.

Gu Yuchen said: "At that time I went to your class and didn't see anyone, so I asked a teacher, it should be that Teacher Zhang. In the end, he saw that I was not from your school, so he lied to me that you were going to his office, and asked me I'll wait there. I waited for a class and didn't see you, so I knew he did it on purpose."

Ning Qingqing: "..."

She couldn't laugh or cry, she didn't even know there was such a past.

Gu Youchen said again: "I saw your schedule in Teacher Zhang's office and saw that there is a physical education class, so I waited for you in the playground after I came out."

Having said that, he paused slightly, and his voice became a little lower: "But I saw that you have a boyfriend, and you have a very good relationship, just like what my friend described."

He couldn't even remember how he left in a depressed mood.

Ning Qingqing hugged Gu Youchen, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Did you also ask me for directions at that time?"

Gu Youchen was surprised: "Do you remember?"

Ning Qingqing said: "We were in the physical education class that day, and we were in the playground with the one grade above. I didn't feel well in my stomach during that special period, so I didn't exercise much."

That day Shen Zhiqian knew about it, so he specially went to fetch hot water for her. Take her to rest beside her.

It is estimated that Gu Youchen has seen all those pictures.

But Ning Qingqing still remembers another scene: "After the physical education get out of class, I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom. A tall and handsome boy came to ask me for directions. I was a little impatient because I was in a hurry, so I quickly pointed. I left without waiting for his response. Is that boy you?"

Gu Youchen nodded: "It's me."

He didn't know why he insisted on asking for directions, but asked Ning Qingqing where the sports equipment room was.

He wanted Ning Qingqing to see him.

However, the girl was in a hurry, her eyes only stayed on him for half a second before moving away, and she spoke with a bit of impatience, as if she didn't like him very much.

He was devastated.

In addition, she already had a boyfriend, and he couldn't act as a third party, so he could only leave sadly.

After that, he couldn't control himself, and kept following her news.

However, every time I heard the words that she and Shen Zhiqian had a good relationship.

The two graduated one after another, Shen Zhiqian went to the family company, and then Ning Qingqing graduated and went to his company. The two have a stable relationship and a stable job. Maybe they are ready to talk about marriage.

Gu Youchen has always been an outsider, watching other people's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, never thought of returning to China.

Until one meeting, someone accidentally mentioned that Shen Zhiqian didn't seem to plan to get married.

When Gu Youchen heard this sentence, his heart beat faster.

I don't know whether to be lucky or feel sad for Ning Qingqing.

He made arrangements for foreign projects and told his father that he had already exercised enough to return to China to take over the company's projects.

So, he flew back to the imperial city. But I didn't expect to meet her on the first day.

After several encounters, he found that she was indeed not as happy as before, and there was no disgust or rejection in her eyes looking at him.

So the dormant mind was rekindled, and he began to appear in her world on his own initiative...

Thinking of this, Gu Youchen looked at Ning Qingqing: "So the second time I asked for directions, it's not because I'm ugly, but because I didn't choose the right time?"

Ning Qingqing smiled: "Well, if I didn't come to Auntie to go to the bathroom in a hurry that day, maybe I would be so fascinated by you!"

Gu Youchen knew that she was deliberately joking, but these words still pleased him.

He couldn't help holding Ning Qingqing in his arms again through the quilt, and asked, "Is there anyone who is so fascinated now?"

Ning Qingqing blinked, and said with a swearing look: "No! You are the ceiling of a man's beauty in my heart!"

Gu Youchen leaned closer to kiss Ning Qingqing, but he was a little breathless while kissing.

He had to let go of her, trying not to get too close, and said: "I'll go buy it when I get down the mountain tomorrow."

Ning Qingqing: "..."

She suddenly didn't want to see the sun tomorrow.

The author has something to say:

Make someone eat meat tomorrow, I promise!
