...
Gu Nian looked at Shi Ye beside him, who could actually laugh even while eating bread, and couldn't help but feel a little baffled.
Could it be that there was something wrong with his bread and that "some part" of Shi Ye's body was damaged?
"Um...Mr. Shi, are you okay?"
"How about you stop eating the bread? I'm a little panicked..."
Gu Nian said with some trepidation. After saying that, he wanted to take the remaining bread from Shi Ye's hand, but Shi Ye grabbed his hand.
Shi Ye, on the other hand, held the bread tightly with his other hand and continued to taste it.
"Yeah! It tastes really good!"
After finishing the meal in two or three bites, Shi Ye commented with satisfaction.
what the hell!
If it's delicious, just say it's delicious. Why do you look so serious and laughing at other times?
Just like neurosis.
Gu Nian quickly pulled her hand out from under Shi Ye's palm, and then sat towards the left window to keep as much distance as possible from Shi Ye.
And what about Shi Ye?
Obviously a piece of bread can't satisfy the appetite of his tall man who is 1.86 meters tall.
The whole person leaned directly towards Gu Nian.
The close distance made Gu Nian feel numb from his ears to his cheeks.
"What are you going to do...?"
Gu Nian asked nervously.
However, before he finished speaking, Shi Ye just took out the backpack from Gu Nian's arms and put it on his lap.
After rummaging around for a while, he took out another piece of bread.
Then he looked up at Gu Nian and smiled softly.
"One is not enough!"
After saying that, Shi Ye sat back on his seat, opened another bag of bread, and chewed it. It could be seen that he was very satisfied with the meal.
very nice!
After cooking for Shi Ye before, I once again saw that Shi Ye loved to eat what he cooked...
There was really an indescribable feeling of happiness lingering in Gu Nian's heart.
Thinking of this, suddenly!
Gu Nian saw a blush on her face from the glass of the car window.
She was so panicked that she quickly turned her face away, fearing that Shi Ye would see it.
He took a few more deep breaths.
"Gu Nian! You are so worthless! Did you almost fall again just like that? No, no!"
Gu Nian recited the lesson repeatedly in his mind.
After repeating it almost a dozen times, Gu Nian forced herself to regain her inner peace.
"You are hungry, that's why you think you can just eat a simple meal." Gu Nian said in a low voice.
Regarding Shi Ye's reaction, she always lacked self-confidence unconsciously, thinking how could he eat so happily because the food she cooked was delicious?
"I am hungry, but my sense of taste has not failed. I can still eat delicious food."
Shi Ye said casually.
As soon as he finished speaking, another piece of bread was finished, so Shi Ye looked again to see if there was more.
But Gu Nian only stuffed a few into them.
So except for some groceries from Gu Nian, it was empty.
Seeing that Shi Ye was looking for bread in vain, Gu Nian wanted to take his backpack from Shi Ye's body.
But obviously, Shi Ye had no intention of letting her take away the backpack.
Shi Ye pressed down his backpack with one hand.
Gu Nian wanted to grab it further, but at this moment, Shi Ye raised one foot, then put the backpack under his legs and clamped it.
At this time, Gu Nian quickly retracted his hand, no longer thinking about grabbing the bag.
"What are you doing? This is my bag."
Gu Nian said timidly.
"What's in your backpack? Is it possible that it's packed with gold nuggets and it's so heavy?"
Shi Ye bumped Gu Nian's backpack with his leg.
The stuff inside was very miscellaneous. When I first opened it, I saw a few old books, some old clothes, and some faded dolls and ornaments.
The weight of these things piled together is half a catty.
Other girls’ backpacks are full of cosmetics and the like.
But Gu Nian's backpack looked like a junkyard for recycling.
Hearing what Shi Ye said, Gu Nian didn't say anything, but was silent for a while.
Then he slowly said:
"These...are some memories of my mother and me when she was alive."
Yes, those old books were fairy tale books that her mother had bought for Gu Nian before, as well as an old sweater that her mother had made for Gu Nian, and toys that Gu Nian had played with in her childhood.
After her mother passed away, Gu Nian always stuffed all these things into her backpack and took them with her wherever she went.
In this way, she will have the feeling that her mother is always with her.
Hearing Gu Nian's words, Shi Ye was stunned.
I felt a throbbing in my heart.
The word "mom" caused ripples in Shi Ye's heart.
So warm, yet so sad.
At this moment, Shi Ye was in the same mood as Gu Nian.
"Give me your backpack!" Gu Nian said, holding back the tears in her eyes.
However, Shi Ye still did not let go of his legs, nor did he return the backpack to Gu Nian.
"There's still half an hour before we get home. Aren't you tired? You've been working all day. Leave your bag here with me. You won't lose it."
Shi Ye's crisp voice surrounded Gu Nian's ears.
"Don't worry, rest for a while."
Shi Ye said.
If there is ever a moment in life that is truly relaxing.
That must be now.
Gu Nian no longer struggled to grab her backpack, but let it lie quietly on Shi Ye's body.
Shi Ye, who was beside him, did not speak any more, but lowered his eyes and closed his eyes to rest.
The slender fingers were gently placed on Gu Nian's backpack, as if holding a fragile and sensitive little rabbit.
Carefully protect Gu Nian's deep love and memories for her mother.
Gu Nian looked at Shi Ye quietly, her heart filled with peace.
She has been tired from working all day.
No!
To be precise, from the time her mother passed away until now, she has been running around trying to survive.
I have never felt so peaceful and grounded as now.
Even if...
Only half an hour away.
It was enough for Gu Nian to carefully store this feeling in his heart and refuse to erase it.
There were not many vehicles on the road at night, and no one else wanted to ride.
However, buses must stop at one stop according to regulations.
This kind of movement and stop is the most likely to make people who are already exhausted get tired.
Gu Nian felt his eyes go dark.
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
***
"Squeak~"
The wheels of the bus scraped against the ground and made a stopping sound.
Finally, the destination has arrived.
Shi Ye glanced at Gu Nian, who was sleeping soundly.
Her head was falling on her shoulder.
It had been half an hour, but Shi Ye did not move, but always maintained the same posture so that Gu Nian could continue to fall asleep.
"Well, it's already the terminal..."
The bus driver turned his head and said to Shi Ye behind the car.
But was interrupted by Shi Ye's booing gesture.
"Shh!"
Shi Ye made a soft sound, then shook his head, signaling the driver not to make any noise.
Then he supported Gu Nian and put Gu Nian's backpack around his neck.
Then he squatted down and carried Gu Nian's entire body on his back.
Just like that, Shi Ye walked off the bus with Gu Nian on his back.
At this time, it was almost eleven o'clock.
The door of Yunfu Villa has long been closed.
The security guard on duty at the door poked his head out from his work station to see who was coming back at this point.
"Ah! Mr. Shi, it's you! Why didn't you take the bus today?"
When the security guard saw it was Shi Ye, he hurriedly ran out of the back room and said enthusiastically.
Shi Ye made a shushing gesture to him again, telling the security guard not to be too loud.
The security guard glanced at the sleeping girl on Shi Ye's back and quickly understood.
It turned out to be a scene of the young couple loving each other tenderly late at night.
Because Shi Ye had both hands occupied, it was very inconvenient.
The security guard opened the door to the manual passage for Shi Ye.
Then he cast a look of sincere admiration at Shi Ye.
Unexpectedly, the richest owner of Yunfu Villa, who usually has a cold and stern face, is actually a maniac who dotes on his wife in private.
What a surprise!
Goose-yellow street lights cover the entire tree-lined road of Yunfu Villa.
The shadow of Shi Ye carrying Gu Nian continues to lengthen...
Maybe it was a little bumpy as I walked.
Gu Nian rubbed his sleepy eyes.
After being stunned for three seconds, he realized that he was actually sleeping on Shi Ye's back, and he was still sleeping so soundly.
I saw that the collar of Shi Ye's suit was stained with a little drool from his deep sleep.
"ah!"
Gu Nian was a little panicked and wanted to get off Shi Ye's back quickly, but was caught by Shi Ye's backhand.
Buttoned firmly.
"woke up?"
"Um."
...
"Mr. Shi, how long have you been carrying me on your back? I'd better get down and walk on my own!"
Gu Nian wanted to struggle, but because she had just woken up, her body was still a little weak.
"You'd better stay still. We've walked all the way. We'll be home in just a few minutes."
Shi Ye still said calmly.
But when he said this, Shi Ye's arm seemed to be stronger, as if to prevent Gu Nian from breaking away.
Shi Ye's words were like magic, Gu Nian could only do as he said, so he stayed quietly on Shi Ye's back.
Feeling the support of the strength of his back, feeling this unprecedented sense of solidity holding him up.
"Well, Mr. Shi, I'm a little heavy."
"Well, it's a bit heavy!"
Gu Nian wanted to be polite to Shi Ye, but obviously Shi Ye, a straight man...
Hearing Shi Ye describe the feeling of carrying him on his back, Gu Nian instantly felt his face getting hot again.
Although Shi Ye didn't understand sweet words.
But time is still a very magical thing.
Sometimes it's only five minutes away, but it makes people wish it was as long as a lifetime.
However, there is finally the moment when we reach our destination.
Doorstep.
Gu Nian had no reason to continue to rely on Shi Ye's back, so she used all her strength to break free from Shi Ye's arm.
"I'm sorry for making you carry me for so long. In fact, you could have woken me up."
Gu Nian bit her lip, lowered her head and said without looking at Shi Ye.
But Shi Ye kept looking at her.
"These days, in order to avoid me, you always come home so late and go out so early in the morning."
"It's hard work like making bread during the day. I think you haven't had a good rest for several days, so I saw you were sleeping too soundly today, so I couldn't bear to disturb you."
When Gu Nian heard what Shi Ye said, his heart felt warm.
The hard work every day really made her feel such a deep sleep for a long time.
Shi Ye's concern for herself was more like a beam of light in the dark night, lighting up her gloomy heart again.
only......
Gu Nian still had only a trace of reason left in her heart, constantly reminding herself to stay awake at all times.
