So the scene just now happened.
In the car, Ye Wan sat on the passenger seat, like a little abandoned creature, soaking wet. She was trembling violently from the cold and shock, her tears still falling, her nose red, and her lips quivering.
Gu Yunting called Jin Lan and Jiang Jingxiu to say that Ye Wan was fine and with him, and only then did they feel relieved and drive home.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yunting turned to look at Ye Wan, suppressing the anger in his chest, and asked, "Where's your phone? Why did you suddenly turn it off?"
Ye Wan looked up at him blankly, and after a while, she fumbled out her phone and said, "It's broken, it won't turn on."
Gu Yunting: "..."
"Then why did you scream?" If she hadn't suddenly screamed, he wouldn't have thought she was in trouble.
"A car was driving too fast, and the water splashed onto me," Ye Wan said, trembling, her tears still falling, one by one, making her look helpless and pathetic.
Gu Yunting looked at her like this and felt very uncomfortable. He reached out and hugged her. Ye Wan even forgot to struggle, just kept looking at him, her tears falling uncontrollably.
"Good girl, it's okay now, don't be afraid," Gu Yunting hugged her tightly and coaxed her, hesitantly raising a finger to gently wipe away her tears.
Ye Wan's head went 'boom'. The scene from more than ten years ago flashed into her mind. She had accidentally broken her mother's perfume bottle and was terrified, knowing her mother would beat her to death. She hid in a corner, cold and hungry, not daring to come out. She huddled there for a whole night, thinking she was going to die. Later, Gu Yunting came. He hugged her cold little body just like now and said, "Good girl, it's okay, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything!"
The sealed memories suddenly surfaced, and Ye Wan felt her head explode. Tears inexplicably fell even harder. The memories were beautiful, but for her who faced his cruel indifference for the next decade and more, they were the most brutal existence.
She had to ruthlessly seal the memories and bury them in the darkest corner of her heart. For more than ten years, she dared not touch them, because touching them would cause heart-wrenching pain. She thought she had forgotten, but it only took one sentence from him for those memories to become as clear as yesterday...
Gu Yunting watched her cry even harder and felt irritated. He simply lowered his head and kissed her cheek, kissing away her tears. His lips uncontrollably moved to her lips, kissing her deeply...
Gu Yunting thought of Jiang Jingxiu's suggestion. He opened a bottle of wine, poured a glass, and coaxed her to drink, "You're freezing, have some wine to warm up."
Ye Wan was indeed very, very cold. She was ice-cold all over. She obediently held the wine glass with both hands and drank the wine. Her body indeed warmed up afterward. Although the wine was strong, she disliked the feeling of being completely cold even more, so she asked for another glass. After finishing it, she was completely drunk. She nuzzled her small face against the man's chest, clinging tightly to his clothes with her small hands. Suddenly, she started to giggle...
Gu Yunting: "..."
Just two mouthfuls of wine, and she was drunk... and quite drunk at that...
Ye Wan felt lightheaded. The sadness and shock from earlier had long been forgotten. She felt exceptionally happy. She had no memory of how she got back to the room, only remembering that Gu Yunting bathed her, and they tossed and turned in the bathroom for a long, long time.
