Gu Moning sat in the rest area, took the water cup handed over by Liu Qianqian, raised her head, and poured it down with a gurgling face.

"Sister, are you okay?" Liu Qianqian asked worriedly.

The temperature of the water was just right, and it went down her mouth to her stomach, as if it had washed away her state.

After drinking it, Gu Moning felt much better.

She waved her hand and pulled the corners of her mouth to squeeze out a smile, "It's okay." ”

Although she said this, there was no look on her face that looked like she was okay at all.

Gu Moning handed the cup to Liu Qianqian and asked her for her mobile phone.

She flipped through the list of friends in WeChat and found the familiar WeChat.

Click on the chat box, edit a line of words and send it.

[He told me today that he wanted to make it public.] 】

Without waiting for a reply, I turned off my phone.

The picture in the dressing room came to mind again.

"Gu Moning, let's make it public." Lu Yi's lips were pressed against hers, and his voice was low and bewitching.

Gu Moning was stunned, her heart trembled slightly, her whole body stiffened, and this sentence kept circling in her mind.

The clock on the wall ticked, like her nervous mood at the moment.

Gu Moning pursed her dry lips, her voice trembling slightly, "You... What did you say? ”

She was afraid she had misheard.

"I said." His fingers ran lightly against her cheek, and his voice was thick and hoarse.

"Let's make it public." He repeated.

Lu Yi held her slender and white little hand, his eyes were burning, his face was locked tightly, and his voice was firm and determined.

He didn't want to wait any longer, not for a moment.

I don't want to hide it anymore.

He can't wait to tell the whole world now that she is his.

He wanted to hold her hand openly, without caring about other people's eyes.

Obviously they are legitimate, but they are like cheating.

This upset him.

Gu Moning looked at him in a daze.

His dark and deep eyes were full of his own shadows.

It was so deep, so heavy, that it made her feel like she was about to drown in it.

But the seriousness and affection in his eyes made her a little incomprehensible.

Because, since they have been married for three years, Lu Yi has never shown the slightest love for him.

Even if it's doing that thing.

This also made her always think, and had no doubt, that he had no feelings for herself.

He's just looking for someone to live with, and that person happens to be himself.

But at this moment, she felt that she suddenly couldn't understand him.

Gu Moning tried her best to pull back her last sanity and suppress all the chaotic thoughts in her heart.

He reached out and touched his forehead with one hand, and touched his own with the other.

There was a light smile on his lips, pretending to be a relaxed joke, "I don't have a fever either!" ”

Lu Yi, "......"

His face darkened.

Take a deep breath, grab her wrist, and pull her hand off her forehead.

He took her hand, wrapped his big palm around her little hand, and squeezed it hard.

This woman.

I obviously understand what he means, but I'm still pretending to be stupid with him here.

"Gu Moning!" He had a straight face and a serious tone.

Gu Moning pursed her lips, and the smile on her face gradually dissipated.

A pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes were dim, and she lowered her eyes to hide all her emotions.

"Do you know what you're talking about right now?"

Her tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard.

The tungsten light in the powder room hit her face from top to bottom, creating a foggy shadow that made it impossible to see the expression on her face.

"I know." Lu Yi clenched her hand tightly.

Gu Moning raised her head and looked at him, "Seriously? ”

"Hmm." Lu Yi nodded.

There has never been a more serious time than now.

Gu Moning lowered her eyelashes to hide the sadness in her eyes.

She withdrew the hand he was holding, "What if I say I don't agree?" ”

"Why?" Lu Yi didn't understand why she refused.

"Then why are you going to make it public? Do you like me? Gu Moning asked rhetorically.

Lu Yi was stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Gu Moning saw his reaction, hooked her lips, and teased with a smile, "You won't tell me now, you actually like me, right?" ”

When she asked, her whole heart rose to her throat, and her heart contracted violently.

His eyes were fixed on him for a moment.

Anxiously waiting for Lu Yi's answer, she wondered what he would say.

Some confused, some scared.

I'm afraid of the answer, it's the one I don't want to hear.

But she is also a little looking forward to it, and she expects Lu Yi to be public because she likes her.

In the room, the silence could be heard, the sound of each other's ups and downs.

The sound of the clock is also infinitely amplified in a quiet space.

The dead silence made her uneasy, and her palms began to sweat.

She began to regret it, and suddenly she didn't want to know the answer so much.

However, just as she was about to open her mouth to interrupt the silence, the man's voice suddenly sounded.

"We're legally married, shouldn't we make it public?" He threw the question back.

His answer made Gu Moning's heart skip a beat.

It was as if something had hit my heart hard, and it hurt so much.

What the hell are you looking forward to?

She pursed her lips and found her voice after a while, "The marriage of the two families was originally a combination of commercial interests, and our marriage has always been about taking what each needs from each other, isn't it?" ”

Lu Yi didn't expect that in her eyes, his marriage with her was just commercial interests, and everyone took what they needed.

His eyes darkened, and he frowned, "Gu Moning." ”

This is the fourth time he has called himself by name today.

Gu Moning tugged at the corners of her lips and raised a touch of bitterness, and her voice slowed down, "Since you have no feelings, why do you want to make it public?" ”

After speaking, without making any stops, he grabbed his script, turned around and left.

She was afraid that she would turn around too late and expose all her emotions to him.

"How do you know if you don't?"

Behind him came a man's deep voice.

Gu Moning paused, her breathing couldn't help but lighten, and her hand stopped on the doorknob.

Stunned in place, did not look back.

She didn't dare to look back, she didn't dare to look at him.

I don't dare to think about how true or false his words are.

I didn't dare to ask if I liked her.

Because she wasn't sure what he had in mind for her.

She was afraid that once she opened her mouth, she would destroy the current harmonious situation.

"Gu Moning, what about you? Do you like me? The man's deep, magnetic voice continued.

Lu Yi stood behind her, looking at her back, a pair of inky pupils full of loneliness.

The hands hanging at his sides were clenched tightly, and the green tendons on his arms burst out.

He didn't know why he suddenly asked that.

Gu Moning's eyes were red, the tip of her nose was sour, her eyes were misty, and her eyes were blurry.

The hand on the doorknob was clenched, and her nails sank into the flesh, but she didn't feel the slightest pain.

She took a deep breath and tried to sound her voice normal.

"Lu Yi, let's just keep it like we did before, just keep it like that."

As long as you're by my side, it's fine, nothing else matters.

……

—

"Sister, the phone is ringing."

"Sister."

Liu Qianqian pushed Gu Moning, who was in a daze.

Gu Moning came back to her senses in a trance, "What's wrong?" ”

"The phone has been ringing for a long time." Liu Qianqian pointed to her mobile phone and reminded her.

"Oh, good." She looked down at the still vibrating phone in her hand.

It's Qiu Yue.

Qiu Yue is Gu Moning who has played together since she was a child, and the relationship between the two is very good, even if she is studying abroad now, although the contact between the two is small, it has never been broken.

Gu Moning stepped aside and answered the phone.

"Hey."

"Baby, did you miss me?"

Almost the moment it was picked up, the girl's sweet voice came through the earpiece.

The corners of Gu Moning's lips raised, and her mood became relaxed and happy.

He chuckled lowly, "Of course I do." ”

Qiu Yue sighed and teased her with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Gu, for taking the time to perfunctory me." ”

"I don't, don't slander me." Gu Moning retorted to her with a smile.

"Really?" Qiu Yue's tone rose, full of disbelief.

There was the sound of running water on the other end of the phone.

Gu Moning took the phone away from her ear, glanced at the time, and put it to her ear again, "Isn't it just morning over there?" Just up? ”

"That's right!" Qiu Yue stuffed the toothbrush into her mouth and replied to her vaguely, "I just woke up and saw your news." ”

"Then, non-stop, call you back as soon as possible." She brushed her teeth and begged for praise, "How's it going?" Am I funny enough? ”

Gu Moning smiled and held her, "Of course, Qiu Yueyue is the most affectionate." ”

"Come on, Gu Sycophant, you know to bring me a top hat."

Qiu Yue said this, and she was very happy in her heart.

She turned on the phone and put it on the sink, "Anyway, what happened?" ”

"What?" Gu Moning's head was down, and she didn't react for a while.

"Eh, I said you have such a memory, you haven't been pregnant yet, why are you starting to be stupid?" Qiu Yue couldn't help but complain about her.

Gu Moning thought about it and laughed awkwardly twice, she squatted on the side of the road, her fingers pulling the stones on the ground.

"He said it was public, and I refused."

"What?" The voice on the other side of the phone suddenly rose by more than a decibel.

"No, Gu Moning, I really can't understand you."

The roar on the other end of the phone frightened Gu Moning so much that she almost threw her phone out.

With a wrinkled face, he rubbed his ears, and carefully put the phone back to his ear.

Aggrieved, "What's wrong!" ”

It's unreasonable.

"What's wrong? What's wrong, you say? Qiu Yue almost fainted from her.

The hand was pinched on the middle of the person, and a delicate little face turned red.

People passing by looked back at her step by step.

Qiu Yue was a little embarrassed, knowing that she had indeed lost her temper just now, she coughed lightly twice and lowered her voice.

"Gu Moning, tell me honestly, don't you like Lu Yi now."

She asked Lu Yi the same thing.

Gu Moning's hand that was drawing circles on the dust on the ground paused slightly, and squeezed out two words from his throat, "I like it." ”

She liked him.

I like it with a dead heart, and I don't hesitate.

I've liked him since I was a student.

She knew that he didn't like her, and she knew that he had someone in his heart.

But when he knew that he was married, he chose to marry him without hesitation.

Even if there is not even a formal proposal, there is no formal wedding.

She was still willing to marry him.

Not for anything else.

Just because she liked him, she wanted to stay with him, even if it was in this way.
