ecame charged with unspoken tension.Shu Tinglan sat up and put the two children on the pillow, leaving most of the bed empty. She crawled inward, knowing she couldn't get rid of him, so she simply ign...Considering this, she clasped her hands tightly around his waist, bringing them closer together.
"I'm sorry, I promise to be more careful in the future."
This is a sincere apology.
But her assurance was already invalid to Gu Ruandong. He said very seriously:
Next time, bring at least two staff members with you wherever you go.
”
He would rather set rules for her than rely on her verbal assurances, for rules are the most stable thing.
Oh.
”
Lu Yaoyao nodded reluctantly, because she had only recently fought with her family to be allowed to live independently and freely.
"Disagree"
"No."
”
Is she still angry Looking down at her puffy cheeks, he was truly upset this time. He said calmly:
"Yaoyao, you need to know that you are different from ordinary girls. Whether it's your family, the Lu family, or your identity as a celebrity, it makes you more dangerous than ordinary girls, and I can't always be by your side to protect you."
Maybe these words aren't what you want to hear, but that's reality. When you have all the privileges, you inevitably lose some things, like freedom within a certain range.
”
Their love or relationship style is no longer a fantasy, it will eventually have to face reality, and many practical problems cannot be avoided.
I understand.
”
Now I really know.
Outside, it was a freezing cold day with snow everywhere. Lu Yaoyao had no clean clothes to change into and couldn't go anywhere. Gu Ruandong called the hotel staff to take the warm pants and down jacket she had just taken off for washing and drying.
The hotel itself does not have this service or the relevant equipment. The waiter had to take the clothes to a dry cleaner on the next street, and it would be back tomorrow.
"Why don't you just buy me a new one"
"Are you sure you want to buy a new one here" Gu Ruandong asked.
This small county town doesn't have any particularly impressive shopping malls. The few brand stores there are also mass brands that cater to the local consumer level, not even as good as what she bought in airport shops.
But Lu Yaoyao finally came once, she shouldn't just stay in the hotel, right Besides, she also wants to go to the filming location and see where her grandpa used to serve.
"Let's rest well today. I'll have the clothes delivered tomorrow, and then we can go together."
”
Because today the filming of scenes set in heavy snow was moved up unexpectedly, Gu Ruan had to be settled first. After that, Gu Ruandong still went to the film set. The main reason was that the snow was quite heavy, and he needed to ensure the safety of both the crew and the staff. He didn't personally supervise, but he felt uneasy about it.
He put on his military uniform and greatcoat again, along with his black leather boots. He looked so dashing! Lu Yaoyao watched him, her eyes shining. She remembered why she had impulsively agreed to meet him last night; it was probably because of this outfit.
He was dressed and about to go out when, turning around, he saw her looking at him with such longing. He couldn't help but smile, reaching out to pull her into his own cloak, his voice soft and tender.
Be right back.
”
Being embraced by Lu YaoYao only felt warm and safe, but she said sourly: "There aren't any actresses in your play, are there"
"Huh" he said, confused.
"Without a female actress, what are you dressing up for"
It's really popular!
He smiled and simply explained, "To keep warm."
”
The countryside town where they filmed, which is over ten kilometers away, was several degrees colder than this small county. Everyone on the film set had a set of winter clothes.
"Then when you come back, bring me a set too."
“She looked better than...”
The down jacket I bought at the airport looks much better.
Okay.
”
Gu Ruandong then let go of her and went out the door.
The car was waiting for him downstairs. Lu Yao Yao watched him through the window. It was still snowing outside, a vast expanse of white. There were almost no pedestrians on the road, only his black car parked in the snow. He stood beside the car in his military uniform, snowflakes falling on his hair and shoulders. As if by telepathy, he looked up and waved. The scene was like a beautiful postcard. Lu Yao Yao hurriedly took out her phone to take a picture, but she was a step too late. He had already turned to get into the car. She only captured his back, but it was handsome enough.
The room was pleasantly warm, and she finally felt comfortable. The redness on her face had subsided, but there was still a slight itch, so she applied another thin layer of pure plant-derived cream and fell asleep after browsing her phone in bed for a while.
Gu Ruandong didn't come back until after dark, he brought her dinner and a thermos of ginger tea.
When it comes to life experience or taking care of people, Gu Ruandong is also quite lacking. He's too busy with work every day, and all the daily chores are taken care of by Xiao Cai or other assistants. He himself doesn't have this awareness.
After finishing work on the set, he saw the crew distributing a large pot of ginger tea to everyone. That's when he learned that this drink could ward off the cold and prevent colds if you were feeling chilled.
He immediately asked the staff to get him a thermos as well.
Thinking of her in the hotel, he felt a mixture of warmth and worry. The conditions weren't as good as her previous life, and she didn't have anyone to look after her. He hated that she had to endure hardship with him.
The hotel room was dim, she was still asleep, and he took off his jacket.
The first thing I did was go over and gently touch her forehead, worried she might be sick. Thankfully, her temperature was normal.
He was an exact replica, and she woke up. She sat up, her whole body warm and soft, murmuring, "Brother, are you back"
"Well, awake"
"Awake."
”
Gu Ruandong then turned on the lights in the room and handed her a thermos: "Drink some ginger tea first."
”
She didn't like drinking this, but knowing it was his thoughtfulness, she took it and obediently drank a few sips. As she drank, she suddenly laughed inexplicably and said to Gu Ruandong, "We kind of seem like we're eloping now, don't we"
”
The conditions here are indeed quite rudimentary for those accustomed to the bustle and comfort of city life. Many things are inconvenient, which presents a whole new experience for both of them, as they lack both life experience and any skills in caring for themselves or others.
Gu Ruandong smiled, thinking it was quite good. He believed that for a relationship to last, it couldn't always be about romance. Besides love, there was also responsibility, and taking care of each other. This was like an early lesson.
This evening, their love felt as if it had fallen from a fairytale into reality, and he would catch it just the same.
The next morning, Gu Ruandong had to go to the film set. After all, he was on a business trip and couldn't stay in the hotel with her all the time.
And the hotel staff also returned her clothes, but after she put them on, she still felt utterly hideous and didn't want to wear them.
She'd rather wear the military uniform Gu Ruan Dong had brought her from the set yesterday. Although it was the smallest size, it was still a little big for her. She tucked the shirt into her pants, fastened her belt, and tied up her hair. She also put on a pair of black boots. Dressed like this, she looked very heroic and valiant.
一點也不違和。
After she dressed up, Gu Ruandong glanced at her, raising his eyebrows slightly with an appreciative look.or and other staff members stayed with her and didn't go over to disturb her.So, when Gu Ruandong arrived, he'd intended to give her a surprise, but instead found her looking like such a pitiful littl...
