"No one else..." she said with a cry.
Gu Zhiyin frowned and lowered his head, "What?"
"Gu Zhiyin, apart from you, I have no one else... From the beginning to the end, there is only you."
Mu Ning opened his mouth to speak, but tears fell uncontrollably.
"I'm not dirty...don't let me go."
She stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of his clothes, her whole body trembling.
Gu Zhiyin had been stunned for a long time, and his body was extremely stiff.
In the past two years, he lay alone on the cold bed every night, thinking that she had slept next to another man, and his body felt like it was being torn apart. The sharp and suffocating pain kept him awake at night, anxious and weak.
This feeling had already penetrated deep into his bones and was engraved in his memory, so when Mu Ning forced her to kiss him, he instinctively wanted to push away.
Mu Ning knew that this was what he cared about, so he rejected her kisses and touches.
But how to prove it to him?
Mu Ning's eyes were as red as a rabbit's. He held Gu Zhiyin's clothes with his little hands and explained to him over and over again.
"Gu Zhiyin, I have not been touched by him, I am clean..."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Zhiyin grabbed her chin, kissed her lips, and took all the unfinished words in his mouth.
There is no need to explain to him in such a humble manner, Thaksin.
As for other things, he doesn't want to worry so much now. He will know when it's time to know.
Because Mu Ning was crying, Gu Zhiyin easily pried open her lips and teeth and entered her territory.
She had drunk soda water and it was sweet in her mouth.
Sweet and soft.
He loved it.
He wanted to go deeper and deeper, but because of her tears, there was a hint of saltiness.
Gu Zhiyin touched her face gently and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't cry."
"hold me."
Mu Ning sobbed, obediently stretched out her little hand, and slowly wrapped it around his waist.
Gu Zhiyin put down the right hand that was caressing her, clasped her waist, made her body close to him, hugged her and turned around, pressed her against the tree trunk, and kissed her fiercely.
He was breathing heavily, and his breath was hot and strong.
Longing and love were like a raging tide, breaking through the guard at this moment and coming towards her.
Mu Ning couldn't resist and couldn't breathe.
Gu Zhiyin let go of her, his deep eyes filled with blazing color, "Go home, eh?"
Mu Ning blushed, "I-I'm here for that."
He chuckled, "Did I say yes?"
Mu Ning hugged his waist and buried her face in his chest, shyly silent.
"Let's go."
Gu Zhiyin held her hand, but she refused to leave, "Hold me."
Gu Zhiyin lowered his eyes and remained silent, his smile faded, and he said calmly, "I'll hold you in my arms and let's go."
"Your hand isn't healed yet?"
"Um."
Mu Ning pursed her lips to look at his hand, and he subconsciously hid it behind him.
"Okay, I'll hold your hand." Mu Ning held his right hand and entered the house without any force.
However, as soon as the door was opened, there was a heartbreaking cry.
Xia Xia fell down the stairs and was crying on the ground.
"Dad! I want daddy! Wuwuwu..."
Xia Xia had a nightmare and cried after waking up. She wanted her father to sleep with her. When she found that Gu Zhiyin was not in the room, she ran downstairs to look for him, but fell down the stairs.
Gu Zhiyin quickly let go of Mu Ning's hand, strode over to pull Xia Xia up, frowned and asked urgently, "Where did you fall?"
Xia Xia threw herself into Gu Zhiyin's arms and cried bitterly.
"Okay, don't cry, dad is here." Gu Zhiyin squatted on the ground and patted Xia Xia's back.
Mu Ning stood behind Gu Zhiyin and watched this scene, not knowing what to feel in his heart.
He had his sense of responsibility and she didn't interfere, but seeing him feeling so sorry for Xia Xia, to be honest, her eyes stung a little.
It was as if someone else lived in his heart, not just her.
Love can be divided, Mu Ning understands that he cannot take care of the feelings of two people at the same time.
Gu Zhiyin invited the family doctor to come over and give Xia Xia a full body examination.
"Mr. Gu, your daughter didn't fall, she just got some bruises. If you're really worried, give her some medicine."
Gu Zhiyin looked slightly relieved, nodded, and sent the doctor out.
When he came back, he saw Mu Ning sitting on the sofa without saying a word.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Ning pursed her lips and shook her head, "No."
Seeing Gu Zhiyin standing in front of her, she also got up from the sofa.
"It's very late. You take Xia Xia back to the room and put her to sleep. It's time for me to rest too."
Gu Zhiyin clasped her wrist and looked down at her slightly pale profile with a deep look in his eyes, "You go to bed first, I will find you later."
Mu Ning shook his head, "You'd better take good care of Xia Xia. Fortunately, nothing happened to her, otherwise I wouldn't be able to report to Dr. Cheng."
After saying that, she gently pulled out her wrist and walked quickly into the room.
Gu Zhiyin stared at her back, his eyebrows downcast.
Mu Ning lay on the bed without any sleep.
He teased himself and pulled his lips to give himself psychological comfort.
Tonight was quite a breakthrough for her, wasn't it? At least Gu Zhiyin was willing to accept her.
She couldn't ask for too much. She had pushed this relationship away with her own hands. How could she expect to return to the past all at once?
In the past two years, Cheng Shiyu and his daughter have been by his side, warming him and healing him. He should indeed be grateful.
Even though she felt uncomfortable, there was no point in being uncomfortable.
Gu Zhiyin's injury was caused by her, and it was thanks to the mother and daughter that they pulled him back from the abyss so that she could see him.
Mu Ning pulled up the quilt and covered his face, forcing himself to fall asleep.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Mu Ning's heart stopped for a moment, and she held her breath, knowing that it was Gu Zhiyin who was coming.
But she didn't want to get up and open the door.
There was silence outside the door for a moment, then the man opened the door and came in.
He walked to the bed and sat down. Mu Ning turned her back to him. He reached out his hand and gently lifted her soft hair, revealing her fair face.
Mu Ning closed her eyes and breathed steadily. Gu Zhiyin knew that she was not asleep.
He sighed slightly, touched her head, and spoke in a low voice, "When Xia Xia was one year old, she was carried away by a trafficker and was frightened. After that, she was prone to nightmares at night and would cry when she woke up. Someone has to guard it.”
"I went out to look for you at eight o'clock, and it was not until half past twelve that I searched the area before I found you."
"For nearly five hours, Xia Xia was alone at home. When she woke up and didn't see me, she would come to me crying. During the time I was not at home, I didn't know what happened to her or that she fell. How long has it been on the ground?"
"Cheng Shiyu asked me to take care of Xia Xia. I can't let her come back and see the child covered with injuries."
Gu Zhiyin didn't understand why he had to explain this. Maybe it was because Mu Ning's angry look was too obvious.
"Xia Xia has not had a father since she was a child. She is very dependent on me. She needs me to comfort her when she cries."
Gu Zhiyin touched her face with his fingers, "Don't be jealous of a child, okay?"
Mu Ning felt a little better after hearing his explanation, but after hearing these two words from him, she became even more congested.
Therefore, she should not care about the children and give up the peace of mind and stability that belongs to her.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Gu Zhiyin stopped his fingers and took them back, "Sleep well."
He stood up and turned off the light for her, plunging the room into complete darkness.
Mu Ning heard his heavy footsteps go away, and then the door closed.
She turned around, glanced at the door, and stared at the ceiling in disappointment.
…
Gu Zhiyin did not go back to the room, but sat on the sofa in the living room, lit a cigarette, leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.
All I could think of was Mu Ning crying tonight, humbly begging him not to let her go.
She said she was clean.
Not touched by any man except him.
It was just him from beginning to end.
Gu Zhiyin raised his hand and touched his left chest. In addition to the dull tearing pain, there was also a strange feeling.
He sat on the sofa until midnight, smoked a cigarette, and got up to go upstairs.
…
Mu Ning didn't sleep well that night.
In the second half of the night, I couldn't hold back my sleepiness, so I managed to fall asleep.
It was already eleven o'clock when she woke up, and Gu Zhiyin didn't call her.
Recalling the past, when she couldn't wake up in the morning, Gu Zhiyin would bring breakfast in, hold her to wash up, and then feed her. After eating, Gu Zhiyin would sit on the bed and hold her to eat, and she would almost fall into his arms. sleep.
The difference is quite big.
But that was also two years ago. They were separated for nearly a thousand days and nights. The long river of time was enough to wash away too many things between them.
Mu Ning shook her head, she was thinking about something again.
Mu Ning stayed on the bed for a while, but there was still no movement outside the door.
She got up, washed and opened the door to her room.
I found a strange face at home.
