Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Her Heart, In Turmoil
In that mont, a myriad of youthful scenes surfaced in her mind—
He was behind her, quietly walking her to school.
After school let out, he would walk behind her until they reached an isolated spot, and then he would catch up so they could walk side by side.
Sotis he would sneak chocolates, apples, all sorts of tasty treats into her backpack, and find ti to help her with her howork.
He said his dream was to beco a doctor.
Later, when she was filling out her college applications, she subconsciously chose the dical school.
Only, one day he vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Gu Wei glanced at Su ixi and then to the man.
The four eyes t, filled with complex emotions—there was the shock of long-awaited reunion, a sense of regret for seeing each other too late, and also a strong sentint of wistful sympathy.
These two were no ordinary pair!
In that mont, Gu Wei suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Qi Anran was nothing, but the arrival of this man made him feel his position was hanging by a thread.
The girl who had just been held hostage noticed her brother’s gaze fixed on Su ixi, and couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, do you know each other?”
Bi Yuanhang nodded and told the girl, “You know her too, you just might not rember. She is your Sister Su.”
“Sister Su? Oh, I know now, the sister you liked when you were a child? The one who lived above us?”
“…” Bi Yuanhang felt sowhat embarrassed to admit he liked Su ixi, but still responded, “Yes, that’s her.”
Su ixi snapped back to reality, put away her thoughts, and lightly greeted, “Brother Yuanhang.”
“Xiao Xi, long ti no see.”
“Yes, it has been a long ti.”
“How have you been all these years?” Bi Yuanhang asked.
Su ixi replied indifferently, “I’ve been quite well.”
“Is this gentleman with you?” Bi Yuanhang asked.
“Yes, he is my… boyfriend,” Su ixi said.
Bi Yuanhang’s expression instantly fell, “You have a boyfriend now?”
“Mhm, I live with my boyfriend,” Su ixi knew what she was doing, she didn’t want Gu Wei to feel awkward, so she added, “My boyfriend and I need to get ho now, we have things to take care of.”
Bi Yuanhang, reluctant to part, quickly asked, “Then, could I add you as a contact? Your boyfriend saved my sister, one day I’ll bring her to thank you in person.”
“No need, he does good deeds without seeking recognition,” Su ixi said.
Gu Wei: “…”
Su ixi then grasped Gu Wei’s hand, “Gu Wei, let’s go.”
Gu Wei walked beside her, observing her expression.
On the surface, she wanted to keep her distance from Bi Yuanhang, but her expression betrayed her.
Her heart must be in turmoil.
…
Bi Fu watched Gu Wei and Su ixi walk away, and after a long while, she turned to her brother.
Bi Yuanhang kept his eyes fixed on Su ixi’s retreating figure.
“Brother, it seems we’ve co back too late, Sister Su has a boyfriend now.”
Bi Yuanhang was utterly despondent, “Yes, too late.”
“But, I feel Sister Su still has feelings for you; just now, how she looked at you was filled with reluctance,” Bi Fu said.
Bi Yuanhang gave a bitter smile, “But she’s a girl with strong principles.”
“But matters of the heart don’t abide by principles,” Bi Fu said.
…
On the way ho, Gu Wei kept an occasional watch on Su ixi.
She didn’t utter another word, her mood low.
Gu Wei suddenly understood sothing.
Her first love wasn’t Qi Anran, Qi Anran had simply been a passing chapter in her life, soone she didn’t love that deeply, but this Bi Yuanhang, he was the man who had captured her adolescent heart.
Su ixi might have also realized her expression was giving her away.
After arriving ho, she explained to Gu Wei, “Gu Wei, I… maybe I was just taken aback seeing soone I knew from before, there really isn’t anything between and Bi Yuanhang, truly we’ve never even held hands.”
Gu Wei didn’t respond, her explanations only seed like a cover-up.
Su ixi knew he didn’t believe her, so she just smiled, “Alright, let’s not talk about it, let’s just hug, Gu Wei.”
Then, she opened her arms.
Gu Wei did the sa.
Thank goodness, she still wanted to hug him.
That ant she still had a place for him in her heart.
After the hug, she smiled, “There, tonight you can sleep well again.”
Gu Wei was taken aback, “What do you an?”
“Have a good sleep, doesn’t your sleep improve every ti after we’ve had physical contact?” Su ixi looked up at him.
“How did you know?” Gu Wei asked.
“I overheard it when you were having dinner with your older brother, you were discussing it. I also know you were poisoned with a lang jian-based substance, but it wasn’t serious, only leaving behind insomnia as a side effect. Insomnia is not a big issue; it can be treated with traditional Chinese dicine later on.”
Gu Wei’s heart sank once more.
So she frequently alternated between being hot and cold towards him, seeking out daily opportunities to hug him, all to ensure he had a good sleep?
Truly she was his good wife.
Seeing that Gu Wei seed a bit down, she probably thought it was because he was tired, so she said, “It’s getting late, we should both rest early, Gu Wei, good night!”
…
Back in her room, Su ixi lay in bed.
Her thoughts shifted back and forth from Gu Wei to Bi Yuanhang.
Bi Yuanhang indeed held a big place in her life as a girl.
The first ti Li Jiekai followed her and tried to take advantage of her, it was Bi Yuanhang who stepped in to protect her.
He called for people, and the neighbors ca out, driving Li Jiekai away.
Afterwards, Bi Yuanhang continued to protect her silently from seventh grade until her first year of high school.
But during the sumr break of that first high school year, his family moved away suddenly, without having the chance to say goodbye.
Su ixi was heartbroken at first, she asked several familiar neighbors about his whereabouts, but nobody had a clear answer; only that his family had so issues and moved abroad.
Later, Su ixi slowly closed that chapter of her life, trying not to think about it.
She was after all a child who had been abandoned, nobody cared for her, Bi Yuanhang was surely just sympathizing with her, pitying her, which is why he left without even saying goodbye.
Thinking of Bi Yuanhang brought her thoughts back to Gu Wei.
Thinking of Gu Wei made her lips curl into a smile.
Having been together for nearly a month, Gu Wei, in her eyes, was a big guy, sotis stern, sotis simple-hearted.
He was thoughtful, could cook, could take care of people, he was soone she could trust for life.
She should be content.
As long as he did not leave, then she would not let go.
With that thought, Su ixi hugged her quilt and fell asleep.
…
anwhile, in another room, Gu Wei’s backup phone received an urgent ssage:
Your helicopter will be on the rooftop in ten minutes, return to the team imdiately!
