Chapter 22: Windy streets

I hung up the phone and got up and hid the painkillers scattered in the room, changed into fresh clothes, and took time to put on a delicate makeup. During the period, Gu Tingchen called me and I didn’t answer it. I know this Can't stop him, because he knew my home password not long ago.
　　 One Two Two Seven, December 27th.
　　 That was what I told him the day I fell in love with him.
　　 He frowned and asked: "Why is this password?"
　　 I said perfunctorily: "Take it at will."
　　 There was a knock on the bedroom door when I was still putting on makeup. I put down the lipstick in my hand and opened the door for him. Gu Tingchen seemed to be different from before, and he wore a white shirt.
　　 I wondered: "Why do you dress so thin?"
　　 Gu Tingchen smiled upon hearing this, "Worry about me?"
　　 I squinted at him, but he suddenly took me into his arms, rubbing my cheeks with his lips, lingering, "I have been thinking about who I love..."
　　 I asked softly: "Do you want to understand?"
　　 "Well, I love the woman who disgusted me before."
　　 When he was dying, he told me that he loved me.
　　 felt inexplicably wronged.
　　 There is no joy, only grievances.
　　 I asked faintly: "Really?"
Perhaps seeing my expression calm, Gu Tingchen’s expression changed. He held me tightly in his arms as if he wanted to confirm my existence and feel my temperature, but now my head is empty because of the pain in my stomach, what he says seems to be I couldn't hear it, and it took a long time to reflect what he said.
　　 "Shi Sheng, would you like to give me a chance?"
　　 I murmured: "What opportunity?"
　　 "Be my Mrs. Gu and we will remarry."
　　 I am confused, "Huh?"
　　 He repeated firmly: "Be my Mrs. Gu and we will remarry."
　　 "But why do you think I am willing?"
　　 A kiss fell on my eyes, and the voice was soft and judicious: "Give me a chance to pursue you again, don't worry, I will handle the gentle things well, and... she and I have always been clean."
　　 Very clean...Have they never been in bed?
　　 But what does it have to do with me?
　　 I closed my eyes and said, "I'm going to sleep."
　　 Gu Tingchen froze, and after a long time he let me go.
　　 The door was closed and I was completely soft to the ground.
With cold sweats all over, I quickly went to the bathroom to take a bath, and found that the underside was bleeding, and the bathtub was quickly stained red. I didn’t know how to fall asleep behind. When I woke up the next day, the water in the bathtub was freezing cold and I was weak. He got up from the bathtub and lay on the bed very tired and wanted to sleep.
　　 I may really be running out of time.
　　 is so little that I can detect it.
　　 I lay in bed for a few days without energy to cook, so I drank milk and ate bread to maintain my current life, and Chu Xing called me every day to confirm my existence.
　　 About a week later, Gu Tingchen came to me again.
　　 He stood at the door of the bedroom and told me through the door, "It's all handled."
　　 I didn't open the door, so naturally I couldn't see the expectation on his face.
　　 I still smiled and asked, "What then?"
　　 "Shi Sheng, be with me again."
　　 I opened my mouth and wanted to reject him, but he answered a phone call and left.
　　 I stood up weakly and stood in front of the French window, and saw Gu Tingchen wearing a camel coat with his back facing me. He was so tall and straight, as it made people love and delight many years ago.
　　 He drove away in a hurry.
　　 I closed my eyes and turned back to the bed. Just sitting on the bed, Chu Xing called me.
　　 He asked me caringly, "How is your health recently?"
　　 "It's pretty good, but I miss my previous life a bit, and I linger in my mind again and again. Brother Chu Xing, there is one thing I haven't said except Ji Nuan. Do you want to hear my story?"
　　 Chu Xing said gently: "Well, as long as you are willing to tell me."
"I know Gu Tingchen when he was fourteen years old. The first song I listened to was the street where the wind lived. It was the last song my mother played to me during his lifetime. He simply fell into my heart like this. So far, even if so many unpleasant things happened during the period, I don’t think it matters."
　　 "Sheng'er, what do you want to tell me?"
　　 "Brother Chu Xing, don't fight against Gu's family for me."
　　 Chu Xing paused, and said with pity for a long time: "Well, I understand what you want."
　　My heart... I love that man as always.
　　 "Thank you, Brother Chu Xing."
　　 "Sheng'er, the New Year will be in a few days."
　　 I begged: "Brother Chu Xing, don't come to Wucheng."
　　 I don’t want him to face my death at all.
　　 "Sheng Er..."
　　 Hanging up Chu Xing's call, I sat cross-legged on the bed and waited for a moment to come.
　　 Maybe it is now, maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.
　　 I know, my time limit is just two days.
　　 On the third day I received a call from Gu Tingchen. He apologized and said, "I'm sorry."
　　 "It's okay, you can live with her well."
　　 Gu Tingchen left hastily three days ago because Wen Ruyan committed suicide.
　　 This incident is not a secret, you can know it by reading the entertainment headlines.
　　 Wen Ruyan, she probably wanted to use this to threaten Gu Tingchen to stay by her side.
　　 No matter what, it doesn’t matter anymore.
　　 "Sheng'er, I'm sorry."
　　Shenger...
　　 This is the first time that Gu Tingchen calls me Shenger.
　　 "It's okay, she loves you very much, I wish you a happy wedding."
　　 Gu Tingchen was silent, but he never hung up the phone. I put on the bed and looked at the scenery outside the window. There are many plane trees planted in the huge villa, and it seems that Wucheng is starting to snow again.
　　 Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is my 23rd birthday.
　　 Gu Tingchen’s wedding is still three days away.
　　 After Gu Tingchen hung up the phone, I took off my clothes and put on the plain white dress in the closet, and the plain white hairpin. That was the clothes I wore when Gu Tingchen called my little girl for the first time.
　　 I changed to a white bed sheet, and I lay quietly on the bed looking at the scenery outside the window. The snow was full of snow and the wind was cold. As if thinking of something, I subconsciously raised my hand and touched my cheek.
　　 Plain face, without any makeup.
　　 I smiled, and slowly closed my eyes, as if I heard someone calling me little girl.
　　 He smiled softly and said, "Little girl, why do you keep following me?"
　　 "Because... I like you."
