Chapter 183 - 183 It's Not Just Her Imagination
183 It’s Not Just Her Imagination
“I’ll take you back next month.” Gu Quan had tested his parents’ attitude last week, but Gu Chengyi’s attitude remained the same.
He did not know if taking Su Tian home would help at all, but he still made a promise.
“What day next month?” Su Tian looked up, the hope in her eyes obvious.
“About the fifteenth.”
“Can you be done being busy by the fifteenth?”
“More or less.” He stroked her hair, too tired to even open his eyes. “Tian, it’s time to sleep.”
Su Tian’s back stiffened.
It had been too long since they had sex, so she thought he had something on his mind.
“You go first.” She still had scars on her body, so she did not dare to have sex with him. “I’ll finish watching this episode.”
Gu Quan nodded slightly before going upstairs.
He lay on the bed after taking a shower. As he entered the dream, he seemed to have returned to that summer.
The clouds that were covered by the night quietly appeared.
The noon sun shone through the clouds, as if it could dispel the cold.
Su Tian, who had woken up naturally, reached out to touch the cold pillow on her left and went downstairs under the urging of hunger.
Ding dong
The doorbell rang just in time. She walked down the stairs and opened the door in a few seconds.
“Tian Tian.” He Qi was like a hungry wolf. As soon as he caught his prey, he couldn’t wait to bite it.
Su Tian blushed.
“Don’t be like this.” Seeing that he wanted to continue, she pushed his shoulder away. “I haven’t eaten yet.”
He Qi’s heart ached for her.
Half an hour later after Su Tian dressed up, he drove Su Tian to the CBD and went to the Chinese restaurant on the top floor.
It was Saturday, and there were many customers in the restaurant.
“Tian Tian.” After ordering, He Qi hugged Su Tian’s waist. “You haven’t spent time with me for a week.”
“I just joined the company and am too busy.” Su Tian lied to others that she was an administrator of a media company. “I’ll find time to spend with you next week.”
“Can you be with me this afternoon?” He Qi did not want to wait too long. “He’s not around anyway.”
“He’ll be back in the evening.”
“I’ll ask him after we finish eating.” It was rare for her to go out with him alone. He did not want to let go of this opportunity. “Don’t think too much.”
Su Tian had no choice but to agree.
She disentangled his hand from her body. In less than two seconds, he wrapped his arms around her again. She said in frustration, “I have to go to the washroom.”
“Together.”
“Don’t mess around.”
He Qi smiled. “What are you thinking about?” No matter how eager he was, he would not mess around outside.
Seeing him disappear in the male washroom, Su Tian turned around and walked into the female washroom.
She pushed open the third cubicle and locked the door. Taking the little time she had, she called Gu Quan. “Quan, have you eaten?”
A sweet female voice sounded in the washroom.
Lin Jiao, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at the cubicle on the left.
“Yes.”
She asked again, “Are you working overtime tonight too?”
“Most likely.”
“Then rest well. Don’t be too tired.”
Lin Jiao’s thoughts were in chaos.
She subconsciously followed the woman and hid behind the female washroom, watching the woman being intimate with another person.
They turned to look at each other, and the side of their faces reminded Lin Jiao of the memory she had lost for a long time.
“They all say that you look like Su Tian, but I think you’re not even a third as good as her.”
“You’re just a plaything for me.”
“We will compensate you for what you’ve done for the past two years and try our best to make it up to you.”
“If I came back earlier, you would have broken up long ago. Do you really think he loves you??”
Countless voices sounded in Lin Jiao’s mind.
She leaned against the door with a splitting headache, her beautiful face turning as pale as a sheet.
Like a person who did not know how to swim, she was forcefully pushed into the ocean. There was no way out or escape.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel the seawater rushing towards her, like a sharp knife cutting into her nerves, making her unable to withstand the pain. Her grip on the hem of her shirt tightened.
The moment she fell back, a faint fragrance of cypress swept over, and she was held up from the bone-chilling ground.
She looked up before her vision blurred, but she only heard him call her ‘Jiaojiao’ gently and anxiously.
Pei Zhi brought her to the hospital as quickly as possible.
He looked at the emergency room with a cold expression. The phone in his hand was about to be crushed by him, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.
The wind in the corridor blew.
When the doctors and patients passed by him and felt the coldness coming from him, they silently quickened their pace.
Only when the door of the emergency room opened and the nurse said that the patient was fine did the coldness dissipate.
“When will she wake up?” Pei Zhi walked to the bed and held her hand like it was a treasure.
“An hour or two.”
“Is there a need for further checkups?”
“No need.” The nurse summarized the results of the checkup. “The blood clot on the back of her head is gone.”
Pei Zhi was not surprised. “Thank you.”
He dragged a chair over and sat down. He said that he was prepared, but as time passed, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.
He had stolen her for the past two months. He shouldn’t have too much expectation, but he could not control himself from wanting more.
His heart, which had broken out of its cage, could not be calmed down no matter what. Like a vine, it took root and grew crazily.
The medical staff in the emergency room came and went.
The clock pointed to two, and the person on the bed moved.
Lin Jiao opened her eyes in hunger.
She fluttered her long eyelashes and slowly looked at the man on the right.
Another round of memories swept over her. Images of hugging, sleeping in the same bed, kissing, and other intimate scenes quickly flashed across her mind.
She seemed to be with Pei Zhi…
As soon as this thought appeared, her originally pale face turned noticeably red.
Perhaps because she felt that it was unrealistic, she raised her head with difficulty to confirm if the ‘evidence’ that appeared in her memory existed.
“Jiaojiao.” Pei Zhi, who had been observing her for more than ten minutes, raised his left hand to let her see the ring. “Are you looking for this?”
He stroked the ring and looked at her with unrestrained affection.
Lin Jiao opened her eyes and closed them again.
She repeated it four or five times before finally confirming that everything in her memory was not just her imagination.
