once i loved you

Chapter 34

It's really easy to nod your head, but what happens after you nod?what can we do about it.Especially when they were in the same room last time, the disappointed look he put on her with a wry smile and ended abruptly was still lingering in her mind.

"It's all right," he said.

She thought that this sentence was nothing but words to comfort her, but when she and him were really in the room, she understood the truth.

Gu Weiye lived in a room of more than 20 square meters. The floor was made up of long strips of wooden planks, and when people walked on it, there would be a "creaking" sound.The paint on the surface of the old-fashioned furniture placed is mottled and peeling off. Some of them seem to be deliberately antiqued, but they are completely different.The curtain hanging over the nearly two-meter-wide window is divided into two layers, one layer is opaque thick flannelette, and the inside is a layer of blue tulle.

"I read the weather forecast and said it will rain tonight."

Gu Weiye walked over and tied the outer curtains on both sides of the window, leaving only a thin layer of veil, which gently swayed with the evening wind, "I remember you said that you like listening to the sound of rain."

That time she was so embarrassed that she got on the wrong subway in a daze, and then he was taken in by him at his house. When it rained at night, she did say so.Unexpectedly, he still remembered.

She sat next to the bed for a while, and watched him in a daze as he opened the cabinet, rolled out a roll of thin bamboo mat, and spread it on the clinical floor, "You must be tired, we'll go to bed early today."

She was still in a daze until he was about to lie down.After a short silence, she switched to sit on the side where he was, let her legs slide down the bed, her feet landed near his calves, and asked softly, puzzled: "Are you going to lie on the ground?"

He closed his eyes, without any ripple in his facial expression, and gave a soft "hmm".

After a long time, she still didn't lie down, so he had to open his eyes and ask, "Why don't you sleep?"

She didn't know whether to say the following words, she longed to get closer, but she was afraid of being misunderstood as some kind of invitation.

"You still, go to sleep." She hesitated for a while, and finally said it out.

I just saw them during the day, and they got along very naturally outside; when he came back in front of Su Lilan, he also talked and laughed with her, but when he returned to the house at night, there were only the two of them left, he seemed to be deliberately estranged.

The brightest light source in the room has long been turned off, leaving only a small night light on the wall near the door, casting a faint light on the wooden floor.

Gu Weiye sat up and looked at her with his chin slightly raised. The hair that had just been washed was hanging around his eyebrows. His usual clear eyes were hidden in the shadows and looked vague. "I want to respect you. If you just like it, you can't reach it." The degree of love, sleeping in the same bed is still too much luxury for us.”

"You said you didn't mind during the day, but in fact, you still worry about what happened that day." Cen Xiao muttered unhappily, and kicked his calf at the same time.

In his eyes, her outstretched white calf seemed to be covered with a layer of delicate veil, cute and lovely.Taking advantage of the opportunity to hold the fullest part, the softness and slipperiness of his hands made him unable to lose it.

"Come here, bow your head." He whispered softly.

He didn't have a formal girlfriend before. It's not clear if it's because of his special occupation, and there are always many opportunities to try. In the matter of kissing, his proficient skills made her slightly uncomfortable.

Pushing away, Cen Xiao intentionally drew his attention away, "I have something to tell you."

"Okay, you say." He stood up, walked to the opposite table to pour water, and adjusted his breathing on the way.

"One day, will we get married?"

This question was asked very suddenly.With a shake of his hand, the water was deflected and flowed along the wall of the outer cup onto the table.He had mixed feelings.Without looking back, she naturally couldn't see the smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, is this considered a forced marriage?
"Look, you can't answer it, can you? So that's how I felt when you asked me that day." She said helplessly, "I don't think our relationship is a game, but there are some things that we didn't say. It doesn’t necessarily mean negative, it’s just that I didn’t carefully consider the certification and didn’t dare to give an answer rashly.”

Gu Weiye: "Then what have you been thinking about these past few days?"

"I..." I have the answer, but those words can only be said naturally if you have to feel them. Now he asked her directly, but she found that she still couldn't say it.

So she repeated the old trick, and she still used the question just now as an example, "Could it be that if I give you a few days, you can decide whether to marry me or not?"

Some men are still reluctant to step into the marriage hall after their girlfriends frequently force them to marry. The reasons are very complicated, but it does not necessarily mean that they do not love each other deeply.So even if he loves himself very much, he may not be immune to the question of marriage, and it should be difficult to give an answer in a short time.

"Listen, if you don't love, you don't love. I told you during the day that I don't mind, so you really don't need to find excuses to comfort me." He came over and sat directly opposite her, "Look into my eyes and listen to me , I don't need to think about it at all, I will marry you, anytime, as long as you want."

Some broke up.

They each lay back in their respective positions, and neither spoke anymore.

In the early morning, it rained heavily, and he was breathing steadily, but she was still tossing and turning.

The propped up windows made a creaking sound as the wind blew, and cool air kept gushing into the room.

Cen Xiao was afraid that Gu Weiye, who was lying on the ground, would catch cold, so he lifted the thin quilt covering his body, stepped over him carefully, stepped on the wooden board with bare feet, and walked by the window, closing the window tightly.

He lay on his side on the mat, stubbornly turning his back to the direction of the bed where she was lying.With her back to the window, she knelt down on the mat, put her hands near his temples, and was finally able to face his face, and suddenly felt grievances welling up in her heart.

"I, love, you." Word by word, she did not make any sound, but only mouthed to him.

The next day, Gu Weiye returned to normal, as if yesterday's dispute had never happened.Cen Xiao knew why, and tried to imitate him to keep his posture, especially in front of Gu's mother Su Lilan.

Su Lilan always stays abroad for ten months a year. The reason why she settled in Chengdu and Suzhou is also to fully experience the authentic food and scenery of her motherland.So the gardener's work is just for the pleasure of Uncle Qin when he has nothing to do. The old man's real job is to display his superb cooking skills when he stays here.

Under Master Qin's management, the breakfast is nutritious, with a good mix of meat and vegetables, and there is no fried food, and the amount is kept just right.Cen Xiaozai was fortunate enough to enjoy the most sumptuous breakfast in his life and felt happy physically and mentally.

After dinner, Cen Xiao took Gu Weiye's car and went to Chengdu together.

He was going to meet the person he mentioned to Cen Xiao yesterday.It was a person who had just been fired from Chi Jingyi's company, who knew some internal secrets, and chose to defect because of some unhappiness with the other side.

On the one hand, she didn't want to disturb Gu Weiye, on the other hand, she didn't have a clue about the topic of Hongbai's assessment, so she wanted to walk alone to find inspiration.He agreed with Gu Weiye to have lunch together, and agreed to go to Du Fu's Thatched Cottage together in the afternoon, and Cen Xiao asked him to send himself near Jinli.

Before getting out of the car, she kissed him.

The other party seemed to be in a good mood, rubbed her hair, and specifically told her to be careful, and didn't say much else.

On non-rest days, there are very few tourists in Jinli.And probably because of the cloudy days after the rain, the ground of the whole scenic spot is not dry, like the clothes that have just been fished out of the washing machine and have not been completely dried, everywhere is wet.

Walking along the way, Cen Xiao saw several snack vendors setting out utensils or putting all kinds of snacks on the table one by one. They were not busy, and almost everyone was too lazy to open their eyes.This is not at all different from those people in Beijing who stand early near the traffic station and yell and sell breakfast.

She didn't bring a camera with her when she came to Chengdu. When she came out this morning, she borrowed a camera from Su Lilan temporarily.Fortunately, I came early, and [-]% of the businesses were still closed, which happened to be able to record the quietest state of the building.

There were two little sisters in floral skirts who came out of an alley. They held out their mobile phones and kindly asked Cen Xiao to take a group photo for them, "Beauty, remember to choose a good angle and make us look thinner." !"

Cen Xiao readily agreed, and after giving some advice on how to adjust their posture, he helped them take a few group photos from different angles.

"Wow! Your skills are really good, thank you!" The two girls were very satisfied. Seeing that Cen Xiao came alone, they said kindly, "Shall we take a picture for you?"

She said thank you, and pointed to the location under the loft in the distance with a smile on her face, "Please help me to take pictures of the paper lanterns above and the alley behind."

"No problem!" The girls took her micro slip.

Near one o'clock, Cen Xiaozao came to Kuanzhai Alley from Jinli, but Gu Weiye still didn't contact her.

She was very hungry, and kept thinking about eating with him, so she resisted not eating anything.

At the end of the wide alley, she saw a thin old woman sitting on a horse-trap, threading a white fragrant flower with a needle and thread.

Lured by the aroma, Cen Xiao squatted down to look at it for a while, and finally bought a flower and pinned it to his bag.

Standing up, she felt that her eyes were getting dark, so she had to find a place to sit down and rest, and Gu Weiye also just sent a message.

He said that he was eating with the person he met today, and asked her if she had eaten?After typing out the word "no" and deleting it, she re-typed the word "eat".

He was relieved, and replied that he could not accompany her to Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, and let her go shopping by herself, and pick her up there later...

When she came to Kuanzhai Alley, she heard the taxi driver introduce several restaurants in Chengdu. She was thinking about which one would be better for him to accompany her, but she didn't expect that it would be over now.

The mood of tasting delicious food was gone, so she took a photo of a fly restaurant on the side of the road, ate a share of noodles to fill her stomach, and came to Caotang Park for a stroll.

The light in the ruins memorial hall was dim, and she didn't stay for long.Walking to the corridor outside, I saw a rattan armchair, sat on it, couldn't help my eyelids getting heavy, and then fell asleep just sitting there.

"Cen Xiao—" Someone gently pushed her.She was in a daze, her dream was disturbed by someone, and she didn't want to wake up, she murmured: "Don't - move, I'm so tired, sleep a little longer."

Sighing softly, he leaned down and tried to hug her up.

As soon as more power was added to her, she opened her eyes and slowly struggled free from his arms and jumped down.Glancing around, rubbing his eyes again, he asked in confusion, "Why is it getting dark?"

Gu Weiye chuckled, "Do you know how long I slept?"
