137. Gu Qing throwing herself into his arms

On the way back, Su Xiyue looked at Gu Qing several times, but hesitated to speak.

Noticing that the girl seemed a little distracted, Gu Qing slowed his pace slightly.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Gu Qing looked directly at Su Xiyue.

For some reason, Gu Qing suddenly remembered the first time the two of them officially met.

I vaguely remember that Su Xiyue was a somewhat unreliable young girl back then.

Although he doesn't have any bad intentions, he's far from being steady or reliable.

He enjoys playing video games, doesn't study hard, and can't find any goals in the long journey of life, leaving him feeling empty and lost.

But Su Xiyue has grown a lot now.

I still play games, but I've learned to stop when I'm done.

Even without Gu Qing's supervision, they would complete their academic tasks very conscientiously, and they did not give up this mindset even after entering university.

He's grown taller, and his chest has grown too.

More importantly, Su Xiyue now gives people a sense of composure and reliability.

She would help Gu Qing cook and would proactively clean up the trash at home.

He would help Gu Qing carry her things and would always walk on Gu Qing's outside.

This is a silent form of companionship.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that Gu Qing, you haven't called me 'sister' in a long time."

Su Xiyue forced a smile onto her face.

She was indeed overthinking.

Murong Yi told her some things about Gu Qing's past, but not much.

Or perhaps even Murong Yi himself wasn't entirely clear about it.

The only certainty is that Gu Qing had a serious conflict with the adults on the Murong family's side during junior high school due to family changes.

How serious is it?

Su Xiyue's eyes flickered; she could hardly imagine what Gu Qing was like back then.

It must have hurt a lot...

The girl could clearly feel that her heart was being entangled by thorns, which were tightening little by little.

There are some things that Gu Qing cannot ask unless he speaks up.

Gu Qing didn't know what was wrong with Su Xiyue today, but she could tell that Su Xiyue was in low spirits, like a fledgling bird that had been rained on.

Perhaps she had a conflict with her roommate or classmate?

Or perhaps it's a problem in other areas?

But unless it's a major problem, Gu Qing doesn't plan to ask.

People always have to grow up, and there are some things that a young girl must experience and grow through on her own.

"You want to hear me call you 'sister'?"

Gu Qing smiled faintly.

A gentle breeze happened to pass by at that moment, ruffling Gu Qing's hair.

The boy smiled gently in the breeze, his starry eyes sparkling, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth seemed to conceal a constellation of stars.

"Yeah, I don't know why, but I suddenly just wanted to listen..."

Su Xiyue was dazzled for a few seconds before speaking.

She felt sorry for Gu Qing. He had suffered so much in the past, but now he acted as if nothing had happened and always took such good care of his family.

Perhaps that's why she's so infatuated with Gu Qing!

"Then move closer to me, and I'll shout it for you," Gu Qing said, blinking.

Su Xiyue nodded. It seemed that Gu Qing was a little unaccustomed to it. After all, they were still on the street, and it was somewhat difficult for Gu Qing to suddenly call her "sister".

That's what she thinks.

But in fact, when she got close to Gu Qing, she suddenly felt something soft, as if a piece of cotton candy had fallen into her arms.

Suddenly, Gu Qing reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. Then, her shoulders sank, and Gu Qing's cheek pressed against hers.

"Well……"

Su Xiyue was completely stunned by Gu Qing's actions.

This was something she never expected.

Gu Qing actually gave her a hug!

The boy, like her lover, wrapped his arms around her waist, pressed his body close to hers, and rested his cheek on her shoulder.

Then, Su Xiyue felt the boy's soft little hand gently stroking her back.

As her breath was fragrant and sweet, a voice unlike any other rang out, sending shivers down her spine:

"Sister, you can do it!"

The tone was completely different from before.

It's not clear, it's even a bit murky, like a fine wine that's been aged for years, with some impurities accumulating.

But the timbre, like fine wine, is fragrant and intoxicating.

To outsiders, the two looked like a couple, embracing and whispering sweet nothings in the street.

But Su Xiyue knew that the boy was comforting her in a way she liked.

This was the first formal hug between the two.

A moment later, with Su Xiyue reluctant to part, Gu Qing gently pushed away her delicate body.

The warmth and fragrance of her embrace still lingered.

"Do you feel better?"

Gu Qing looked at the girl with a smile.

"much better!"

Su Xiyue smiled.

Gu Qing has already done all this; if she were to overthink things, wouldn't she be letting Gu Qing down?

This was Gu Qing throwing herself into my arms!

More importantly, no matter what happened to Gu Qing in the past, she is there for him now.

She may have had no one to protect her before, but now she will protect Gu Qing no matter what.

"Let's go buy groceries then, I'll stew some pig's trotters for you tonight!"

As Gu Qing spoke, she took the lead and started walking.

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, the boy's silhouette shone so brightly that even his outline was shrouded in light.

"I also want chili sauce!"

Su Xiyue shouted and quickly chased after him.

……

"Please singe off the hair, then chop it into pieces."

Gu Qing said to the butcher.

After a series of actions, Su Xiyue received the prepared pig's trotters from the butcher.

After buying some more ingredients, the two walked out of the market together.

The vegetable market is right across from the residential area. If she doesn't need to buy any daily necessities, Gu Qing usually buys her groceries there.

Just before entering the house, Gu Qing and Su Xiyue ran into their neighbor at the elevator entrance, who was about to go downstairs.

According to Su Changqin, the lady next door is the logistics director of Jinda University, but Gu Qing has never met her.

After exchanging greetings and pleasantries with their neighbors, the two entered the house.

"It's so hot! I'm going to turn on the air conditioner!"

After putting her things down, Su Xiyue quickly picked up the air conditioner remote.

Gu Qing then began preparing the ingredients for dinner.

Pig's trotters need to be stewed for several hours. If we do it now, we should be able to have dinner by dark.
