14 “You really, don’t like me anymore?”
Tang Ziyou smiled, and said softly, “I got a call from Brother when I came out of the bath, saying that you want to see me. I was in a hurry, so I forgot to wear it.”
Grandma Gu nodded, “That’s it.”
After she finished speaking, she went to take care of Jiuci, “Xiao Jiu, where is your ring? How many times have you said that you’d wear it too? You’re good, not once you don’t listen to me, what are you doing here? Get out.”
Gu Jiuci helplessly said, “I want to make a film and I have a luxury endorsement. I can only wear that brand of jewellery when attending events.”
Grandma Gu snorted, “It’s only you who have a lot to do.”
Gu Jiuci sat on the side of the bed, “Okay, Grandma, just leave it alone. You are still sick, so don’t be angry.”
“It’s not that you are not sensible. With the three children in the family, you are the least sensible.”
Gu Jiuci: 
yes, let’s just shut the mouth.
Grandma Gu was getting older. After talking to them for a while, she felt sleepy.
Gu Jiuxing didn’t bother her. He took Tang Ziyou and Gu Jiuci downstairs to eat.
Just after eating, Gu Jiuci’s phone rang.
He picked up and said a few words and said to the other end of the phone, “I see, I’ll go there now.”
“I have something to do. I’ll go back to the company first and come over after I’m done.”
Gu Jiuxing nodded, “Go.”
Gu Jiuci watched him and Tang Ziyou standing side by side, always feeling that the picture was a bit annoying, “Aren’t you busy with work today?”
“The managers and directors I hired are not white-collar workers either.”
Gu Jiuxi: “
then you send me.”
“You have your own car, go by yourself.”
Gu Jiuci couldn’t quit, so he turned around and went into the elevator, thinking that he had to go and return quickly.
Tang Ziyou and Gu Jiuxing returned to Grandma Gu’s ward.
There were two nursing rooms in the VIP ward here, which were preset for nurses and relatives.
Gu Jiuxing took the initiative to walk to the nurse’s room and said to Tang Ziyou, “You should take a rest, too.”
Tang Ziyou nodded and went to the relative room next to him.
He was lying on the bed, but he couldn’t sleep.
The rain outside the window was still falling. It seemed that it would never end.
Tang Ziyou suddenly remembered that the first time he saw Grandma Gu. It seemed to be such a rainy day.
At that time, his grandfather was still there and he was still very young. Grandma Gu suddenly appeared at their door and asked him gracefully, “Are you Xiao You? I’m here to find your grandfather.”
He opened the door, let Grandma Gu enter, and let Gu Jiuci who was following her walk into his heart.
Tang Ziyou closed his eyes and rolled over, but the once teenager in his mind couldn’t go away.
Since when did he like Gu Jiuci?
Why did he like Gu Jiuci?
If he looked back seriously, then, probably on that rainy day, Gu Jiuci’s appearance was without warning, but it brought him a bright sun.
At that time, they were still very young. Gu Jiuci was only eleven or twelve years old and he was only seven or eight years old.
Gu Jiuci poked his face in a gentle tone. He said, “You are younger than me, you have to call me ‘Brother’.” (ć“„ć“„, gege)
He nodded and called him ‘Brother’ obediently. Gu Jiuci happily talked to him, drew with him, played games, watched TV together, and even went to school with his grandfather to pick him up from school.
He shouted at the school gate, “Lil Brother” (ćŒŸćŒŸ, didi). Tang Ziyou was shy, took his hand and said to him, “Keep your voice down.”
Gu Jiuci touched his head and leaned close to his ear, “Stupid you, so that others will know that you have an older brother and they won’t bully you.”
Tang Ziyou almost didn’t cry when he heard him say this, his mouth closed tightly.
His parents went too early. If he didn’t look at the photos, he would never remember what his parents looked like.
His grandfather took good care of him, but he was different in age by several rounds, and he didn’t understand the child’s inner sensitivity.
When he was a child, Tang Ziyou wanted his parents, older siblings, and younger siblings, but he only had a grandfather.
Grandpa told him, “When you grow up, you will have your own baby, you will become a father. You can create older siblings and younger siblings for your baby.”
Tang Ziyou listened to his grandfather’s words and wanted to grow up quickly every day.
However, growing up was too slow. He waited for one day or two days, one month and two months, one year or two years, but he still couldn’t wait.
But he waited until Gu Jiuci.
Gu Jiuci will pick him up with his grandfather like other kids’ parents, call himself younger brother like other kids’ brothers, and play with him like other kids’ families.
He would even tell stories to Tang Ziyou and sleep with him at night.
At that time, Tang Ziyou liked Gu Jiuci very much. His eyes were red when he knew he was going to leave.
He asked Grandpa, “Can he not go?”
Grandpa smiled and persuaded him, “He has to go home too. He also has his parents and brother waiting for him to come home.”
Tang Ziyou understood very well, but he was very sad.
He secretly cried for a while behind his grandfather’s back, sent Gu Jiuci and Grandma Gu with red eyes.
Gu Jiuci was also reluctant to bear him. Before leaving, he hugged him and kissed him again.
After kissing, he felt good and even wanted to kiss for the second time. It was because Grandma Gu’s eyes were sharp. Seeing that he actually wanted to kiss the mouth of a relative’s child, she quickly stopped him.
It was just this past event and Gu Jiuci seemed to have forgotten it a long time ago.
Tang Ziyou sighed and sat up.
It was always like this between him and Gu Jiuci. Probably because there was really no fate, so every time, the eternity he remembered was a moment of disdain in Gu Jiuci.
He couldn’t forget, but Gu Jiuci had already blurred his memory.
He should have seen it a long time ago. They were not suitable at all.
The rain was still falling. Tang Ziyou got out of bed, opened the door, and walked out.
He walked to Grandma Gu’s bed and sat down by her bed.
When he first met Grandma Gu, although Grandma Gu was not young, she was still in good spirits, but now she is also old and no longer healthy.
And his grandfather who chatted with her back then is no longer there.
He bid farewell to his parents and grandfather one after another, but they still didn’t wait for him to grow up.
He is still alone and he is the only one left.
Tang Ziyou helped Grandma Gu pull the quilt, then lay on the side of the bed and closed his eyes.
He didn’t know how long it took. Tang Ziyou felt as if he had slept and he didn’t seem to be asleep. He was about to get up, but he felt that someone put a piece of clothing on his shoulder.
He suddenly remembered the year when his grandfather was sick.
One day, he fell asleep guarding his grandfather’s bed, but he woke up in the nursing room.
He walked out in surprise and saw Gu Jiuxing chatting with his grandpa.
Later, when he sent Gu Jiuxing away, he asked him, “Did you bring me into the nursing room?”
Gu Jiuxing looked at him and said softly, “You are too tired.”
He said, “Your grandpa’s body is very important, but your own body is also important. You must take care of yourself first before you can take care of him.”
For a moment, Tang Ziyou seemed to dream of that year again, only lying on the hospital bed, changed from his grandfather to Grandma Gu.
“Brother.” He said softly, “Do you believe in fate?”
“I didn’t believe it when I was a child, but now I believe it.” Tang Ziyou whispered, “The birth, age, sickness and death in this world, the separation of joys and sorrows seem to have been fixed. No matter how hard you work, some things will never belong to you.”
“My parents don’t belong to me and my grandfather is gone. There are few people who treat me well in this world.”
“So,” Tang Ziyou slowly straightened up, looking at the old woman who was still sleeping on the bed, “So, I want to understand.”
“If Grandma really can’t accept me leaving Gu’s house, then I am willing to be engaged to you.”
“Although I may not be worthy of you, I will try to improve myself and I will seriously like you.”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked behind him, but he was shocked for an instant—it was not Gu Jiuxing who he thought was standing behind him, but Gu Jiuci.
Gu Jiuci looked at him with a complicated expression.
Tang Ziyou didn’t know what to say. After a long time, he finally stood up.
The coat fell with his movements and with a “pop”, it landed on the ground with a loud noise.
Tang Ziyou was silent for a moment. He bent down to pick up the coat on the floor, put it on the back of the chair, and turned around to go back to the room.
Gu Jiuci stepped forward and blocked him.
“Let’s talk,” he said.
Tang Ziyou nodded, “Okay.”
He raised his head, glanced at Gu Jiuci, and walked out the door first.
Gu Jiuci followed out.
There was silence in the ward. After a long time, Grandma Gu slowly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with moisture.
Gu Jiuci followed Tang Ziyou until he reached the safe passage at the end of the floor before stopping with him.
“I don’t agree.” He said, “First, I never agreed to dissolve the marriage contract. Second, since you are my fiancĂ©, you can no longer have a relationship with my brother.”
Tang Ziyou looked calm, “As for the first point, marriage is based on the common wishes of both parties. Whether you agree or not, now I don’t want to, we can’t get married, and the marriage contract should be considered invalid. As for the second point, this is just the next step. If Grandma accepts me leaving Gu’s house, then naturally I will not be engaged to your brother.”
“I don’t understand why I just left for a few days and you suddenly make a fuss to dissolve the marriage contract. At that time, you said that you liked me, but now it is you who say you want to dissolve the marriage contract. What do you want to do?” Gu Jiuci looked at him.
Tang Ziyou smiled then sighed again, “I really liked you at the time, so I chose you between you and Brother, but now, I really don’t like you, so I want to break the marriage contract. Is it not difficult to understand, right?”
“Why? Don’t you like me? Why do you suddenly dislike me?”
“Do you remember what you said to me on the day of my grandfather’s funeral?” Tang Ziyou asked him.
Gu Jiuci was taken aback. Of course, he remembered that. Not only did he remember what he said that day, he also remembered the temperature of Tang Ziyou leaning against him and the temperature of his tears that day.
Tang Ziyou turned his head and looked out the window. Each drop of raindrops was of different shapes and sizes when they fell, but when they fell to the ground, they all seeped into the soil without exception, and no trace can be found.
Just like what people have said, promises made.
“You don’t remember, it just so happened, I also forgot. We even forgot what each other said, so what else is necessary to be together?”
He turned his head and faced Gu Jiuci, “Isn’t it good if I let you be free? In the future, you can meet someone you like and get engaged with him. Isn’t that great?”
“What about you?” Gu Jiuci asked.
“I will also have my own life and meet people who like me. Don’t worry. I don’t have to be with your brother. As long as Grandma can think about it, I won’t be engaged to your brother.”
Gu Jiuci silently clenched his fist, staring at him closely, “You really, don’t like me anymore?”
“I don’t like you anymore.” Tang Ziyou smiled, “Look, I even threw the ring I designed it myself.”
After he finished speaking, he walked past Gu Jiuci with a smile.
Gu Jiuci stretched out his hand to catch him but failed to catch him.
He looked at Tang Ziyou and felt a real panic for the first time. Tang Ziyou really didn’t like him?
Did he really dislike him?
How could that be possible?
It must be he who was trying to playing hard to get, lying and deceiving people.
His acting skills were really good. No wonder he wanted to come back to acting. It was a pity that such acting skills were not acting.
“I was almost cheated by him.” Gu Jiuci whispered.
He smiled, but the more he smiled, the uglier it became. As the wind blew, the false smile was blown away.
The wind was blowing and there was continuous wind pouring in from the corner of the stairs near the window. Gu Jiuci felt a little cold. He touched his arm and it was cold.
He then realized that his coat had already been given to Tang Ziyou before.
He left his coat on Tang Ziyou and also his own past to Tang Ziyou.
Gu Jiuci looked for it anxiously but saw his coat draped on the chair.
Just like his past, Tang Ziyou folded it neatly and returned it to him.
But, he didn’t want to accept it.
The author has something to say:
Xiao You: Whether you want it or not, keep it for yourself.
Xiao Jiu: My wife, loves me again!
Xiao You: Goodbye!
It doesn’t seem to be very abusive, at least I don’t think it’s abusive [covering face]
