The sudden "I love you" sentence made Gu Zhiyin stay where he was.
After a few seconds, his stiff body suddenly trembled. He looked at the overlapping shadows on the ground, and his eyes felt inexplicably hot.
"Uncle Gu." Mu Ning called him softly.
He raised his head suddenly and stared at Mu Ning in disbelief. He opened his mouth without making a sound. He stretched out his hand and wanted to pull her into his arms.
Mu Ning grabbed his hand and prevented him from succeeding.
"Uncle Gu, you have taken ninety-nine steps toward me. Let me take this last step."
Mu Ning stepped on a stone on the roadside, stood on tiptoes, closed her eyes and kissed him.
Gu Zhiyin was kissed stiffly by her.
Mu Ning left his lips and looked at him with clear black eyes without blinking, "Did you hear what I just said?"
Gu Zhiyin met her gaze and nodded.
"So Uncle Gu, you don't have to work so hard in the future, and you can feel more at ease, okay?"
Mu Ning held his face and her gentle gaze gave him a feeling of being remembered and cared about.
He finally replied hoarsely with one word, "Okay."
He wanted to carry Mu Ning down the mountain, but Mu Ning stopped him.
She held Gu Zhiyin's hand, stood beside him, pressed against his body, and walked slowly forward with him along this path where they were the only two.
…
Back at the hotel, Mu Ning posted a message on Moments.
Just four words: my boyfriend.
The picture is a photo of them holding hands and returning to the hotel, with figures of one large and one small reflected on the ground.
The comment section immediately exploded.
[Oh my god, my goddess who has been single for twenty years is actually single! ! 】
【Who who? ! Who is this? ! 】
[This hand is kind of pretty, so damn sexy! Ask to see a photo of yourself! 】
[Good-looking hands mean good-looking, but I don’t dare to take photos of my face. Isn’t it ugly? 】
[Which one who killed a thousand swords fell in love with my goddess! 】
…
Lu Xinting made a direct video call.
As soon as Mu Ning answered the call, Lu Xinting's face flashed on the screen.
"You are so heartless. You don't take me with you when you go on a trip. You leave without saying a word. If you don't post on Moments, I still don't know if you still have me in your heart."
Mu Ning lay on the bed, holding up his mobile phone with a smile, "We didn't tell anyone about this trip."
"Oh, you two were having a great time traveling. Where did you go to have fun?"
Mu Ning lay down and said, "My home."
"Your home... wait, is it that small village? Why did you take Gu Zhiyin there? To meet your parents to get married? No, you don't have a family anymore."
This is so heartbreaking, Tingting.
"Don't think too much, we are just here to relax."
When it comes to relaxing, Lu Xinting suddenly thinks of the child Mu Ning lost in the car accident. This incident may have caused great psychological damage to Gu Zhiyin. No wonder they went to such a remote town where no one knew them. They could be an ordinary couple. Young lovers, relax for a while.
"Tingting, why don't you speak?"
Lu Xinting quickly covered it up, "No, no... Since we are going to your hometown, why don't you take the opportunity to get engaged as soon as possible."
Mu Ning blushed, "You... what are you talking about? Where does this go?"
"Ning Ning, don't you plan to get married?"
"I..." Mu Ning bit her lip shyly.
She had thought about it.
Just the night before the trip, she dreamed about their married life, but she was embarrassed to tell Lu Xinting.
"I haven't graduated yet. Is it too early to consider this?"
"Ning Ning, you can afford to wait, but Gu Zhiyin can't afford to wait. You can't just consider your own thoughts. If you really love him, you should think more about him."
Mu Ning said nothing.
Lu Xinting continued to persuade, "Think about it, if you wait two years, you will only be twenty-two-three, and Gu Zhiyin will be almost thirty-five. When you have a child, he won't be almost forty? Oh my god, think about it. , a forty-year-old man, holding a two-year-old baby, is that ridiculous?! It’s so unfair to him!”
Lu Xinting deliberately exaggerated.
Although she encouraged Mu Ning to do many bad things, at this point, Mu Ning felt that what she said made sense.
"But...but there must be a formality to the marriage. He didn't propose to me either. Could it be that he wants me to go and tell him..."
Mu Ning muttered softly.
She confessed her feelings tonight, but Gu Zhiyin didn't know what was going on. He acted as if he was stupid and didn't say anything the whole way.
Normally, I would have seized the opportunity to kick my nose and face, but tonight I turned into a wooden person.
If it wasn't for the feeling that he was holding her hand tightly, I would have thought that there was no disturbance in his heart.
"What? What did you say?" Lu Xinting didn't hear what she muttered.
"nothing."
Mu Ning turned his head a little upset, his expression suddenly stiffened.
After taking a shower, the man leaned against the bathroom door, folded his arms, and looked at her leisurely.
Mu Ning saw the slightly raised corners of his mouth and wanted to get into the quilt immediately in shame.
"Ning Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Ning stared at the man walking over and stammered nervously, "I, I, I...I won't tell you anymore."
She pressed the hang up button for a long time without success, and the phone was taken away by a big hand.
Mu Ning was startled and looked at the man standing beside the bed with a frightened expression.
"Fuck, Master Gu..." Lu Xinting was also frightened.
Gu Zhiyin held up the phone and opened her thin lips lightly, "Going to join LM?"
Lu Xinting couldn't think anymore, so she could only ask and answer questions, "Well... I just went through the entry procedures today."
"Ask Jiang Yue to increase your salary."
"What...salary increase?"
Lu Xinting's brain was a little short-circuited. The surprise came too suddenly. Before she could ask why, Gu Zhiyin hung up the phone.
He threw the phone on the bedside, then leaned over the bed, took Mu Ning into his arms, looked at her without saying a word, grabbed her chin and kissed her.
"Gu Zhiyin."
Mu Ning pushed him, "How long did you stand at the bathroom door just now?"
Gu Zhiyin was pushed away a little by her, paused, then lowered his head to kiss her neck, and answered casually, "Not long."
"What did you hear?"
He kissed and responded, "Didn't hear anything."
Mu Ning didn't believe it, "Then why did you give Tingting a salary increase?"
"..."
Gu Zhiyin paused for a moment and said in a gentle tone, "I'm happy today."
Did he hear it? She hoped that Gu Zhiyin heard it, but because of shame, she hoped that he didn't hear it.
Gu Zhiyin touched her head and kissed her eyelids, "Pay attention, leave those things to me."
Mu Ning closed his eyes, feeling even more confused because of his words.
Those things...refer to the things she was thinking about?
Gu Zhiyin unbuttoned her pajamas and pressed kisses on her chest one after another.
Mu Ning was a little wet from his rubbing, and gradually forgot his random thoughts.
She lay under Gu Zhiyin, hugging his strong waist, feeling the friction he brought to her with her cheeks flushed.
Gu Zhiyin hasn't touched her for almost a month. Every time he just nuzzles outside, she has clearly felt his extremely terrifying desire. She has reached the intersection several times and even stepped in with one foot.
But he gritted his teeth and endured it, helping her solve it first, and then solving it himself.
Gu Zhiyin still didn't go in tonight, but he had other ways to keep her entertained.
"Okay...Okay..."
After Mu Ning relaxed all over, Gu Zhiyin got up from the end of the bed and lay on his side next to her.
He was breathing heavily, and his hot body was pressed against hers. Mu Ning felt discomfort in his waist, "Uncle Gu, let me help you."
Gu Zhiyin closed his eyes, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, "No, let me calm down for a while."
This time Mu Ning didn't listen to him.
"You don't want to touch me. I won't ask why, but I can't bear to see you feel so uncomfortable every time. It makes me feel bad. I want to love you as you love me."
Gu Zhiyin's body trembled violently. He opened his dark pupils and looked at her. After being silent for a long time, he stretched out his hand to clasp her waist and closed his eyes again.
Mu Ning knew in her heart that he acquiesced to her behavior.
