That evening, as night fell, Li Xue dragged her weary body back to the villa. Her steps were heavy, but her heart was filled with warmth. Gu Jingchen had been waiting for her for quite some time; he sat on the sofa, his gaze sweeping across the spacious living room and locking onto her.
"Where have you been?" Gu Jingchen's voice carried a hint of concern that was barely perceptible.
Li Xue set down her bag and replaced her tired expression with a relaxed one, not wanting to worry him. "I went to the hospital," she said casually.
Gu Jingchen immediately stood up, his brow furrowed as he quickly approached her. "What happened?" His eyes were filled with care.
Li Xue shook her head and smiled to reassure him. "I'm fine; it's my brother. He has a fever." Her voice was calm, but a flicker of worry crossed her eyes.
Gu Jingchen let out a sigh of relief but soon became tense again. "Is your brother okay?" he pressed.
Li Xue nodded, though the weight in her heart hadn't completely lifted. She didn't want Gu Jingchen to worry too much. "He's fine," she tried to sound lighthearted.
Gu Jingchen looked at her, a glimmer of relief in his eyes. "That's good," he said softly before turning his concern back to her. "How's your wound?" His gaze fell on the spot where she had been injured.
Li Xue glanced down; the wound had scabbed over and was no longer as alarming. "My wound is much better," she replied, warmth flooding through her knowing someone cared about her.
Gu Jingchen nodded, satisfaction evident in his expression. "That's good," he repeated, as if those words brought him comfort.
The two fell into a moment of silence, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat delicate. Gu Jingchen broke the silence with a gentle voice full of anticipation. "Can you stay tonight?" he asked.
Li Xue looked up at him, complex emotions flickering in her eyes. She understood what staying meant. Finally, she nodded. "I can stay," she answered softly.
A grateful smile spread across Gu Jingchen's face. "Thank you," he said sincerely.
Li Xue smiled back and waved her hand dismissively. "No need to thank me," she replied, though an indescribable feeling lingered in her heart.
As night deepened, Li Xue lay on the sofa, physically exhausted but with a whirlwind of thoughts swirling in her mind. Her gaze wandered aimlessly across the ceiling while Gu Jingchen's face unconsciously floated into her mind—his brows and eyes, his profile, every expression etched deeply into her heart.
She took out her phone; on the screen was their only photo together. In it, Gu Jingchen was focused on her, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection. Looking at the picture made Li Xue's heart flutter sweetly, as if she could feel his gaze crossing through the screen and landing on her.
Staring at the photo, she silently vowed: "Gu Jingchen, don't worry; I will always treat you well." This statement felt like both a promise and an oath, buried deep within her heart.
Li Xue closed her eyes, savoring this tranquility and happiness. She knew that her life had changed because of Gu Jingchen's presence. He gave her strength, warmth, and a sense of security she had never known before. She would do anything for him, even if it meant giving everything she had.
In this quiet night, Li Xue's heart brimmed with anticipation for the future and deep affection for Gu Jingchen. She understood that no matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as they were together, nothing would be impossible.
She gently turned over to make herself more comfortable on the sofa, imagining the days to come and every sunrise and sunset spent with Gu Jingchen. A smile crept onto her lips as sweetness and hope filled her heart.
As night grew deeper, Li Xue gradually drifted into slumber. In her dreams, she walked hand in hand with Gu Jingchen through a sea of flowers; the sun was warm and a gentle breeze caressed their faces—everything felt so beautiful and serene. She knew this was not just a dream; it was the truest desire buried deep within her soul.
