In the middle of the night, the two stayed at a farmhouse. The owner of the farmhouse was hospitable, and he was afraid that he would not take good care of him, so he asked Gu Qiqi and Lu Shen if they needed anything.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. The moment Gu Qiqi pushed open the bedroom door, he felt that his choice was really right.

"We are here, not as good as the big hotels in town. I don't know if you'll like it. The master scratched the back of his head at them in embarrassment, and when he was at the bonfire party before, he also swore that Gu Qiqi and they would definitely like his family.

However, when he saw the clothes of the men in his companions, he vaguely guessed that Lu Shen must be a rich child who is either rich or expensive. That's why he was so careful to entertain, for fear that he would displease them.

"No, I love it here. Thank you. Gu Qiqi turned around and smiled happily at the master's family.

"If you like it, it's fine." The master secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly glanced at the expression on Lu Shen's face.

The grim face did not show a trace of expression. The coldness exuded from his body, which really made him feel like he was cold from the soles of his feet to his back.

Although the young lady likes it, it doesn't mean that the man in front of her will be satisfied.

It seems to feel that there is a gaze that stays on me. Lu Shen raised his eyes to meet his master's eyes, and nodded silently at him, agreeing to stay tonight.

"Then, if you have any other needs, you can come to the front desk to find us. Someone is on duty 24 hours a day. Seeing that Lu Shen did not show any dissatisfaction, the master completely relieved himself, pushed open the door and left.

Through the transparent glass window, Gu Qiqi, who was sitting on the bed, saw the beautiful scenery at the top of the snow-capped mountain at a glance.

The mist lingers in the mountains and forests, and the hazy moonlight seems to cast a veil of mystery over the distant mountain scenery.

"People who can live in Daocheng must be happy." Gu Qiqi leaned on Lu Shen's arms, his eyes flashing with envy.

If she can leave everything in the outside world behind and live in this paradise-like town with Lu Shen for the rest of her life, it will be happy for her.

However, she knew that such fantasies could only stay tonight. When it rises tomorrow, she has to follow Lu Shen back and face all kinds of troubles.

"Qiqi, I promise you, when everything is settled, I will marry you in a beautiful way." Lu Shen leaned down, his chin rubbed against Gu Qiqi's shoulder, his deep eyes were full of love, his eyes twinkled like stars, and he was looking forward to the coming of that day.

He vowed that he would definitely make Gu Qiqi the happiest woman in the world.

She should be happy, shouldn't she?

Gu Qiqi lowered her eyes, and her slightly curled eyelashes covered the complicated expression under her eyes.

However, at this time, she did not feel ecstatic, but felt an invisible pressure, like a huge net, covering her tightly and making her unable to move at all.

The feeling of suffocation is really uncomfortable.

As soon as the words fell, Lu Shen vaguely felt that her body was slightly stiff, and before he could ask, Gu Qiqi interrupted and stopped the topic.

"It's not early, let's go to bed first. After a day of playing today, I'm also tired. ”

Gu Qiqi broke free of his embrace, took off the coat draped over his shoulders, lifted the quilt and lay in.

Directly and selectively ignored it, making Lu Shen frown slightly.

"Qiqi, are you unwilling?" Lu Shen felt her abnormality and faintly felt a trace of unease.

I thought that when Gu Qiqi heard the news, he should hug him with joy. Now, however, he is lying in bed resting with a calm demeanor, with no hope or hope at all.

In addition, she did not answer positively, which made him feel a little at a loss.

But he waited for a while, but he didn't wait for Gu Qiqi's response. When she turned her head to look, she found that she had already fallen into a deep sleep, and her slightly tired face seemed to be tired.

"Maybe I'm too careful."

An uncertain look silently crossed his eyes. After asking to no avail, Lu Shen lowered his eyes helplessly, and could only put this matter behind him for the time being, and turned over and lay down on her side to sleep.

Although, he accompanied Gu Qiqi around all day, as if he was a foil, and he shouldn't feel tired.

However, soon after he lay down, the tiredness came like a tide, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but sink into the dream.

Unconsciously, a sound of even breathing came into Gu Qiqi's ears. She slowly opened her eyes, and there was no trace of sleepiness in her clear eyes.

She bit her lip and looked at the empty ceiling above her head, always feeling as if she had lost something.

Just now, she didn't want Lu Shen to see her hesitation, so she slept in her clothes under the guise of tiredness.

She was afraid that such behavior would fall into Lu Shen's eyes, and she might think about something.

She loved Lu Shen deeply, but what stood between them was too heavy for her to muster up the courage to say hello to him right away.

Not being able to become a hands-off shopkeeper without hesitation is probably a hurdle that she will never be able to step over.

"I'm sorry." Gu Qiqi raised his hand and wanted to caress the sleeping face, but when his fingertips wanted to touch it, he stopped in time and didn't take a step closer.

At this time, she was upset and unwilling to continue to stay in this bedroom, perhaps because of Lu Shen's existence, she became more and more breathless.

She subconsciously glanced at Lu Shen and saw that he was not woken up by herself, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he gently lifted the quilt, put on his slippers and left the room.

The moonlight in the middle of the night is still lonely and cold. In the empty hallway, you can faintly hear the sound of slippers rubbing against the ground.

The flowers and plants in the front yard are bathed in the moonlight, exuding a faint silver halo. The breeze caressed Gu Qiqi's face, lifted her shoulder-length hair, and slid into her bare neck.

She couldn't help but shrink her neck, subconsciously tightened the coat on her body, sat on the nearby bench, supported her chin with both hands, and looked at the mountains with heavy rocks in the distance in a daze.

To be honest, she didn't want to go back.

People often choose to escape reflexively when they are cowardly. It seems that only in this way can the panicked soul get a little comfort.

She is not an ordinary person, and she wants to put aside all that mess regardless of it. However, it is undeniable that she is no longer at the age of a child, and she cannot be willful.

"If only everything could be done all over again." Gu Qiqi sighed faintly, and covered his cheeks with both hands.

She knew that Lu Shen was facing much more pressure than she was now. Therefore, in front of him, she showed the best she could, and did not want him to worry about her any more time.

Sometimes, she really wanted to sit down with Lu Shen and have a good talk, but after thinking about it, she retreated again.

Especially when it comes to marriage, she really can't make up her mind.

In a trance, Xia Yan's face couldn't help but appear in her mind.

"Child, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you sitting here sighing?" A low voice of vicissitudes suddenly came into Gu Qiqi's ears.

She looked up in confusion and met a pair of cloudy eyes.

At this moment, an old man with a cane in his right hand stood in front of her. Although he was full of gray hair, his face was a little younger, and even though the rings of the years left shallow wrinkles, they could not hide the old man's beautiful face at all.

This old grandmother, when she was young, must have been chased by many people.

Gu Qiqi withdrew his gaze without a trace, the corners of his mouth hooked up a friendly smile, got up and supported the old man's arm, and led her to sit on the bench.

It's rare to meet someone in the middle of the night who can make friends, and of course she is happy to sit down with her grandmother and have a good conversation.

"Grandma, haven't you slept in the middle of the night?" She raised an eyebrow at the old man and couldn't help but ask.

The old man looked at Gu Qiqi with a smile, and always felt that the little girl in front of him was very interesting.

"When people get older, the quality of sleep is not as good as when they were younger. When I came out of the bedroom just now, I saw you sitting here in a daze, so I wanted to come over and talk to you. As she spoke, she patted the back of Gu Qiqi's warm hand, and her kind and concerned eyes fell on her, as if she treated Gu Qiqi as her own child.

Gu Qiqi's heart warmed, even if he was outside, he suddenly felt that this night was not as cold as he imagined.

Confiding your troubles to strangers is also a good way to vent.

"Did you have an awkward relationship with a man and run out alone to sulk?" The old man took in Gu Qiqi's stunned eyes, thinking that he had guessed correctly, and began to persuade her bitterly.

"Let me tell you this, everyone is destined to have an unforgettable love, but the result is very different. If at that time you think that that person is the partner you should entrust for life, don't let go easily. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”

The cloudy eyes gradually blurred, as if trying to remember something.

"Grandma, which side of your regrets are you?" Gu Qiqi didn't miss it, a look of pity flashed across her face, and the idea of wanting to hear the story suddenly came to mind.

The old man nodded with a lonely expression, raised his eyes to stare at the full moon hanging in the night sky, and secretly clutched the crutch in his palm.

"That incident, when you mention it, seems to have been a long time ago."

Gu Qiqi held his chin in his right hand, staring intently at the old man's side face, listening carefully to the story she told.

"Probably a few decades ago." The old man held the cane in both hands and put it in front of his legs, and his soft eyes stared into the distance, even the contours of his face under the moonlight were so soft.
