“Then will you be returning to China soon?”
Gu Qingjiu asked Gu Qingmo gently over the phone.
“Yes, I should be coming back with you guys. Aren’t you holding your wedding in Penalan in October? When the time comes, I will take a direct flight to Penalan. Make sure you welcome me properly.”
“Of course.”
Knowing Gu Qingmo was going to Penalan, Gu Qingjiu felt worried.
She had been worried about something.
“Brother, it’s been so long already. Were you in contact with Sister Wange?”
Gu Qingjiu had remained in contact with Qin Wange, but it seemed like their relationship wasn’t going too smoothly.
Three years ago, the incident dealt Gu Qingmo with too great a blow, even though he was much more relaxed by now.
Gu Qingjiu also knew that although Qin Wange lived near Gu Qingmo, the two had never met up even once.
It was strange. It was as if both of them had already let it go.
“Why are you suddenly mentioning her?”
Gu Qingmo’s heart skipped a beat, and his fingertips subconsciously felt itchy, wanting to light a cigarette.
Over these years, he was accustomed to smoking a cigarette when he felt vexed. Feeling around, he realized that he had run out of cigarettes.
“Never contacted her. It’s been so long already. Perhaps she’s already gotten married.”
Gu Qingmo let out a chuckle, no idea if he was mocking himself or if he was laughing about this matter.
However, Gu Qingjiu could detect a trace of pain in his voice.
Gu Qingjiu was also hesitant.
She had thought that the duo’s relationship, which had started in their schooldays, would one day fade away.
Now, from the looks of it, both her older brother and Sister Wange couldn’t let go of it.
Obviously, the two of them still liked and missed each other, but they had to act like this.
In any case, she would invite Sister Wange to her wedding. Whether or not these two will make up will depend on their fates.
But now, she played along with Gu Qingmo. “Perhaps she’s already married with kids.”
Gu Qingmo was speechless.
Gu Qingjiu’s statement stabbed at his heart. Gu Qingmo had always thought of his younger sister as obedient and considerate, but now, he didn’t wish to continue hearing her speak.
“Perhaps.”
The more he thought about it, the more vexed he felt, so he quickly found an excuse and hung up.
Detecting the unstable emotions in her older brother, Gu Qingjiu smiled instead.
Who told him to put up pretenses?
That night when Helian Niancheng returned, Gu Qingjiu didn’t tell him about the department but instead told him about her family, something she rarely did.
“Chief Instructor, say, why isn’t my older brother anxious about his marriage at this age? The way he and Sister Wange are, I am terrified that he would meet someone new outside. But from the looks of it, it seems like he still misses Sister Wange. Today, when I said over the phone that perhaps Sister Wange is already married with kids, he sounded furious.”
Helian Niancheng unbuttoned his shirt and prepared to take a shower. As Gu Qingjiu chattered beside him, he curled his lips and pulled Gu Qingjiu into his arms, breathing onto Gu Qingjiu’s face. “Since when did you become so evil?”
As he spoke, he unbuttoned Gu Qingjiu’s clothes. She laughed and said, “What are you doing? Of course, I was just mentioning it randomly. Don’t tug at my clothes…”
Before she finished her sentence, Helian Niancheng lifted her and said, “Let’s take a shower together.”
Gu Qingjiu pounded her fist at him twice, but he still ultimately brought her into the bathroom.
