The street lights lit up one after another. Such warm and bright colors gradually illuminated the darkness in every corner of the city, and also illuminated Gu Siming's anxiously waiting heart.
Finally, the car stopped steadily downstairs of Lu Yao's house. The driver wiped the thin layer of sweat that oozed out due to excessive nervousness and said respectfully: "President, we're here."
Gu Siming said "hmm" expressionlessly. On the surface, he looked no different from usual, but he seemed to have tripped over something when going up the stairs and almost fell flat on his face in public.
With his many years of experience following Gu Siming, the driver knew that if the president found out that he was "peeping" at this moment, his life would be in danger. So he immediately turned his head away in fear, pretending that he saw nothing.
Sure enough, the next moment he saw Gu Siming looking around with a cold face in his peripheral vision. When he found that no one noticed his ugly appearance, he coughed twice and pretended nothing had happened and continued to walk forward.
The poor driver who drove away silently was in tears. He really wanted to resign. If the president continued like this, would his life be difficult too?
Of course, the driver was not the only one feeling nervous at this moment. There was also Lu Yao who was waiting patiently at home, but suddenly remembered that he had not tasted the food yet, so he called Gu Siming over!
Although the food on the table looked okay, she couldn't guarantee the taste! She couldn't help but think of the tomato and egg soup that was so unpalatable that Xu Xiaoyan's face turned blue...
Lu Yao jumped up from the sofa like a rabbit, ran straight to the kitchen, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stuffed it into his mouth.
Hmm, salty!
She hunched her shoulders uncomfortably and quickly poured herself a glass of water, gulping it down.
It smells so delicious, why does it taste so different?
She bit her chopsticks and looked at the remaining soup and dishes in confusion. She began to reflect deeply on why she was so impatient to call Gu Siming over. If this meal not only did not make him happy, but also ruined his health...
Lu Yao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She threw away her chopsticks and looked around for her cell phone, wanting to inform Gu Siming that tonight's "meal plan" was temporarily cancelled. But before she could touch the phone, there was a knock on the door.
Already here?
Lu Yao's eyes widened, and she turned around anxiously: What should I do? Pretend not to be home? But she just called him to come! Say that she didn't cook? But the aroma of food was still in the house. Most importantly, she couldn't take away the food on the table for a while...
Hearing the unhurried knock on the door, Lu Yao turned around a few more times like a headless fly, and finally tore off her apron, ran towards the door with gritted teeth, a tragic look looming on her face.
Never mind! Just adapt !
She tried hard to adjust her facial expression, but the facial muscles moved when she smiled still felt unusually stiff.
The moment he opened the door, Lu Yao deliberately raised the smile on his lips by more than two degrees, so that at first glance, it looked a little more...scary.
Gu Siming, who was not mentally prepared, was frightened by the smile in front of him, but he managed to calm down and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yao continued to force a smile and raised his hand to touch his cheek: "Nothing! Uh...are you hungry?"
Gu Siming stared at her for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Lu Yao, don't laugh like that, it's really scary."
So she is nervous too?
Why did his nervousness disappear after seeing her anxious look? Was this a unique kind of bad taste?
Her thoughts were exposed by a single word, and Lu Yao immediately looked at him resentfully like a deflated ball: "If you clearly knew it, why don't you just say it? It's so hard for me to pretend!"
She rarely spoke in such a coquettish tone, and the last bit of nervousness in Gu Siming's heart was completely dispelled. He pursed his lips slightly, stretched out his hand and naturally put his arm around Lu Yao's shoulders: "What are you nervous about?"
Lu Yao simply didn't bother to hide it: "Today is my first time cooking, so the taste may be a little..." She struggled to organize the adjectives, "hard to swallow."
Gu Siming raised his eyebrows and chuckled softly.
Hard to swallow? He knows that feeling better than anyone.
From the moment he started controlling his diet, everything he ate found it hard to swallow, so in his opinion, Lu Yao's nervousness was meaningless.
What's more, this was the meal she made for him herself! How could he possibly be picky about the taste?
"I've been running around outside all day. I'm tired and hungry. When can we have dinner?" He deliberately changed his tone to a relaxed one.
Lu Yao huddled in his arms, feeling the cool scent on his body, and replied softly, "Now is the time."
He gently rubbed the hair on her forehead, said nothing more, and went straight into the kitchen. He first pulled out a chair for her, and after she sat down, he sat down beside her.
A bowl of rice, full of crystal clear grains, was placed in front of him, so full that it was almost tipping over. Gu Siming picked up the chopsticks, picked up a dish in front of him and took a bite. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, revealing an indescribable expression.
Lu Yao's nerves were already stretched to the limit. Seeing Gu Siming's intriguing expression, she couldn't care about anything else for a moment. She just grabbed him and asked, "How is it? Is it unpalatable?"
Apart from scrambled eggs with tomatoes, she hasn't had the chance to try any other dishes!
Gu Siming did not answer. He looked at the table full of dishes, raised his hand to pick up a chicken wing and tasted it, and his brows seemed to frown even deeper.
Lu Yao clenched his fists tightly and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Gu Siming also tasted the remaining dishes and soup, including the incredibly salty scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
But from beginning to end, his frown never relaxed.
Lu Yao's heart gradually sank to the bottom.
Her cooking skills were really terrible, right? He was already very unhappy today, but he didn't expect that this dinner made by her would also leave him with a bad memory.
Lu Yao bit her lip, stood up abruptly, took the chicken wings in front of him, and said with a forced smile, "Let's... go eat outside and throw these away."
Suddenly, Gu Siming's slender and thin hand grabbed her fair and slender wrist.
She was stunned and turned her head in confusion, only to find that Gu Siming's expression had changed at some point.
Gu Siming's brows were no longer furrowed, and a bright and satisfied smile hung on his handsome face: "Why do you want to pour it out?"
Lu Yao was so distracted by the smile that it took a long time for him to answer, "Because... it tastes terrible."
The scrambled eggs with tomatoes tasted bad enough, but the other things... she didn't even dare to think about it.
This was supposed to be a dinner that made him happy. He had worked hard all day and she didn't want these bad foods to continue to affect and burden his body and mind.
Gu Siming increased the strength of his hands and pulled her back to the chair. He took the chicken wings and placed them in front of him: "Who said it tastes bad?" He fiddled with the chicken wings on the plate, "I think it tastes good."
Lu Yao stared at him blankly and refuted seriously: "You lied to me."
Although she knew that his original intention of deceiving her was to make her happy, she didn't like this feeling at all.
Gu Siming raised his eyebrows helplessly, and simply picked up a chicken wing with the brightest color and put it to her mouth: "Didn't you try it?"
Lu Yao looked at the chicken wing hesitantly, not knowing whether to open his mouth or not: "I have tried scrambled eggs with tomatoes, it tastes terrible."
"Oh! You mean that dish?" He smiled faintly, "It's a little salty, but it doesn't affect the taste. But the other dishes are really good, at least they pass."
His eyes were so deep and dark, as if silently conveying a message - believe me.
Lu Yao's last bit of willpower was gradually destroyed. He finally slowly opened his mouth and carefully took a bite of the chicken wing.
The mellow and slightly sweet juice soaked in the firm meat has a taste that is so good that it is unimaginable.
She turned her head suddenly and stared at Gu Siming excitedly. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Gu Siming looking at her encouragingly: "Eat some more."
Lu Yao nodded vigorously and took another big bite.
Her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, becoming crystal clear and bright.
Gu Siming was right, this taste was at least acceptable! The only drawback was... like the fried tomato and eggs, it was a bit salty.
She couldn't believe the result. She didn't even have time to swallow the chicken wing in her mouth before she asked, "Why is it like this? I've always been an idiot when it comes to cooking! Xu Xiaoyan even said that I have no talent for cooking! How could it be..." She suddenly stopped here and suddenly realized, "I must have put my heart into it, right?"
Gu Siming's calm smile was like a ray of light in the early morning of summer, with a slightly cool warmth that made people feel relaxed and happy: "Yes, as long as you work hard, no matter how difficult the task is, you will succeed. Even if you fail, it won't be that bad."
The more Lu Yao thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn't wait to grab the chopsticks and taste all the remaining dishes. At the same time, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
Gu Siming really didn't lie to her!
Lu Yao smiled like a child. After a long pause, he suddenly realized what was happening and frowned angrily, “No! Then why did you look like you were saying ‘it’s really unpalatable’ when you tasted it just now? Did I worry about it for nothing?”
Gu Siming did not hide his mischief in his smile: "I'm just kidding you. After extreme disappointment, you get hope again. This process of losing and regaining is more unforgettable than ordinary memories."
Lu Yao wanted to put on a stern face and continue to reprimand him, but she couldn't suppress the smile of satisfaction that appeared on her face.
Well... I'll let this guy go this time! Because she's in a really good mood!
So she quickly pushed the dishes in front of Gu Siming and said, "Then why don't you eat a little more today?" Suddenly she thought of his body that was prone to obesity, and after thinking about it, she said, "I will accompany you to exercise for two more hours tomorrow, so...eat a little more today?"
Gu Siming tapped her bowl, which also had not been touched, with his chopsticks: "Let's eat together."
"Yes! Let's eat together!" She responded loudly, but quickly picked up the largest chicken wing and put it in his bowl. Gu Siming put tomatoes and eggs on her rice.
She served him a bowl of soup as if she would not admit defeat, and he picked up a piece of beef for her with his chopsticks...
In this way, in the "swords and shadows" of the two people, all the dishes were almost swept away. Although these things were nothing to Lu Yao, they made Gu Siming collapse weakly on the chair in the restaurant. He tried his best to maintain his original image, but found that he couldn't stand up straight.
Because his stomach... was really about to explode.
But he didn't get annoyed at all! He had eaten so much, and he had to exercise like crazy the next day to burn off the fat he had taken in today, but he had never felt so good, nor had he ever felt so satisfied.
Lu Yao was full of energy. She poured him another glass of cold orange juice and sat next to him with guilt: "You usually have a small appetite. You suddenly ate so much today. Your stomach won't be able to handle it."
Perhaps it was because he was full, or perhaps it was because Lu Yao's company made him feel satisfied, Gu Siming felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, comfortable and warm, and the only thing he wanted to do now was to reach out and pull her into his arms.
She was like a furry cat, her soft hair rubbing against his chin from time to time, making him feel itchy.
Gu Siming was a little surprised: She didn't struggle this time? She leaned in his arms so peacefully, as if the two of them would never be separated.
He wanted to ask the reason, but he didn't want to break the rare warm atmosphere at this moment.
Gradually, Gu Siming's eyelids began to feel heavy. Because he was too relaxed, he almost fell asleep in this position. But just when he was drowsy, Lu Yao's weak voice broke all his sleepiness: "Siming, are you still angry?"
One can hear her anxiety and guilt in her words.
He straightened up a little, somewhat confused: "Angry? Why should I be angry?"
Lu Yao seemed to find this kind of hug very comfortable, and shrank into his arms again before saying, "Today at the company, because I didn't call your name, and because I deliberately kept my distance from you..." Thinking of the way he left at that time, she choked up a little, "I didn't mean it."
But the inferiority complex in her bones could not be erased so quickly. She could move freely in various industries and do all kinds of hard and tiring jobs. She could also silently endure the accusations and doubts of others, but she really didn't want him to be criticized by the outside world because of her. She also wanted to have enough qualifications as soon as possible to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. However...
A hint of disappointment appeared in Lu Yao's eyes again.
She knows herself too well. Even if she works ten or twenty times harder than others, the results she achieves may not even be one tenth of what others achieve!
Gu Siming never expected that she was still struggling with this matter. His heart softened and he couldn't help but hug her tighter. His chin rested on the top of her head: "What if I'm still angry?"
The lingering anger seemed to still exist. He did not blame or complain about Lu Yao's unintentional estrangement. He was just a little anxious and a little puzzled.
Now that they have confessed their feelings to each other and are determined to be with each other, why can't she rely on him completely?
At the same time, Lin Feng's words rang in his ears like a wake-up call.
Maybe habits are really hard to change, maybe he should give her some more time, at least...
Gu Siming looked at the messy meal on the table and raised his lips in pleasure again.
She has begun to change for herself.
But Lu Yao, who was curled up in his arms, did not see his smile, but only heard the deep disappointment in his words. She quickly put her arms around his waist, put her face close to his and asked sullenly, "What will it take for you to not be angry?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Gu Siming's hands on her shoulders, as if he was pushing her away from his arms.
Lu Yao's heart trembled: Is he really still angry?
But the next second, she felt a soft and cool feeling on her forehead. He lowered his head and gently pressed his lips on her forehead with tenderness and forbearance of pity.
He said, "Lu Yao, I will never be angry with you, as long as you take better care of yourself, as long as you don't reject me anymore..." At this point, Gu Siming couldn't help but chuckle, "Otherwise, I will deduct your salary and make you rely on me for the rest of your life. Only by relying on me can you survive."
Lu Yao seemed to be soaked in honey, even her smile tasted sweet. She still snorted coldly without admitting defeat, but was embraced by Gu Siming again, and she hugged him tighter.
Even after Gu Siming left, Lu Yao was still immersed in this beautiful memory. She hummed a song while washing the dishes, thinking that she must remember to use less salt next time she cooks, but she heard a knock on the door again.
Did he forget something?
Lu Yao shouted "I'm coming" and ran to open the door while drying her hands. But as soon as the door opened, she found that the person standing outside was not Gu Siming who had returned, but——
Chen Xiaorui stood in front of the door with a pale face, totally unlike her usual lively and outgoing self. She raised her head and gave Lu Yao an extremely bleak smile.
In the clean and bright printed glass, lemon flower tea was emitting curls of hot steam, which hit Chen Xiaorui's cold and blue face. She held the hot tea in her hand for a long time, as if she had completely lost consciousness, without moving or speaking.
This kind of Chen Xiaorui was something Lu Yao had never seen before. In her memory, Chen Xiaorui was lively, brave, and straightforward. She always dared to speak and act, and often stood up for Lu Yao. But now she...
Lu Yao was completely frightened by her behavior, but she didn't dare to ask anything. She could only observe her movements carefully while quietly texting Xu Xiaoyan: "Do you know what happened to Xiaorui recently?"
But the damn Xu Xiaoyan didn’t even reply. Lu Yao glanced at the time on his phone—11:35, this guy should be asleep, right?
Forget it! Given the current situation, the best way is to solve the problem yourself!
So Lu Yao moved closer to Chen Xiaorui and asked softly, "Xiaorui, where have you been these days? Why didn't you come back?" She was still a little worried and couldn't help asking, "Has the loan sharking issue...been resolved?"
Although she still didn't know how much money Chen Xiaorui had borrowed, she must have been having a hard time seeing how anxious she had been hiding lately...
When Chen Xiaorui heard Lu Yao's voice, she seemed to be awakened from a dream. She turned her head blankly and took a sip of fruit tea reluctantly. Her voice was hoarse as if it contained sand: "Ah? You said the loan sharking has been resolved."
Lu Yao thought there was something wrong with his ears, and repeated like a parrot: "You said...it's been solved?"
Chen Xiaorui absentmindedly sipped her tea. Although she was talking to Lu Yao, she didn't dare to look up at her eyes. "I discussed it with them, and they... also felt that the amount of money I paid back was actually enough, and they didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so..." Her voice gradually weakened, and finally turned into an extremely frivolous smile, "It's nothing now."
"Really?" Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to pat Chen Xiaorui's shoulder in consolation, "It's good that it's resolved. Look at you, you must have been tormented these days, right? Not only does your face look very bad, but you also look much more haggard. Go and have a rest, and we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
The care in her words was genuine, and anyone could hear it. Chen Xiaorui's hand holding the cup began to tremble violently. She buried her head deeper like an ostrich, and after a long silence, she slowly uttered this sentence: "Xiaoyao, I will move out starting tomorrow." She secretly glanced at Lu Yao's expression and found that she was still confused, so she gritted her teeth and explained again, "I can't share the house with you anymore."
The depressing atmosphere flooded into every corner of the house like a tide.
Lu Yao stared at Chen Xiaorui for a long time.
She kept waiting until Chen Xiaorui suddenly jumped up, patted her on the head and said loudly: "Stupid, I was kidding you!"
But Chen Xiaorui remained silent, and her already thin figure looked even thinner, as if she would fall down at the slightest wind.
"Xiao Rui, your loan sharking problem hasn't been resolved yet, right?" Lu Yao asked calmly.
No wonder she disappeared for so many days and no wonder she finally showed up today but her mood was so abnormal...
The loan sharking incident must have escalated to an irreversible point, so she has to flee?
Chen Xiaorui hurriedly shook her head. She didn't know how to explain it to Lu Yao at this moment. She recalled what happened today with embarrassment. Gu Siming's cold and indifferent expression still made her feel uneasy when she thought about it.
——"I want you to pay back all the money you borrowed from Lu Yao, no matter what method you use. Is three days enough?"
——"It's okay to borrow money in my name, but you dare to use Lu Yao as a shield? Since Lu Yao trusts you, I can help you deal with the money, but you must disappear from Lu Yao's side in the most natural way."
——"How? That's your problem. I'm just telling you that if you can't do these things, you will definitely regret it."
Tears were about to fall from Chen Xiaorui's eyes. Just before they were about to burst out of her eye sockets, she reached out her hand in time and rubbed her already red and swollen eyes vigorously.
She was wrong, she was just bewildered for a moment, but she never expected that Gu Siming would actually intervene in this matter for Lu Yao, and his way of solving the problem was so ruthless!
Chen Xiaorui kept wiping her tears and opened her mouth several times but in the end she said nothing. Seeing Chen Xiaorui like this, Lu Yao was really panicked. She was so anxious that she was about to cry, and even her voice changed: "Xiaorui, don't be afraid! Tell me what happened! I, I will go find Gu Siming, he will definitely solve it!"
"No!" This name has planted the seeds of terror in Chen Xiaorui's heart. She tried her best to force herself to forget what happened today.
But Lu Yao’s hands caressing her shoulders were so warm, and guilt and regret wrapped around her body like thorns, making her unable to breathe. Chen Xiaorui could no longer bear it, and burst into tears, apologizing to Lu Yao continuously: "Xiao Yao! I am sorry for you! I borrowed money everywhere in your name and under the banner of Gu Siming... At the beginning, I just wanted to pay off the usury, but..." Her crying became more and more helpless, "But later on, I couldn't control myself and almost caused a disaster..."
Suddenly hearing such an absurd truth that he had to believe, Lu Yao felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yes, she remembered that Chen Xiaorui had had similar opinions when they were in the hospital, but they were rejected by her and Xiaoyan.
Lu Yao's touch on her shoulders gradually slowed down.
Was it her fault? If she had agreed to Chen Xiaorui and asked Gu Siming for help, would things not have come to this point?
"Xiao Rui, it's all over." Lu Yao sighed and finally chose to forgive, "I know you were forced into this, I, I won't blame you, we've been together for so long, we've been through all kinds of hard times, so..."
At that time, they were squeezed into a small rental house which was much more shabby than this one. Although they had no money, they were not lacking in happiness.
The warm times of the past touched the softest feelings in Chen Xiaorui's heart, so her tears flowed more happily: "Xiaoyao, it's because of this that I can't face you. I... I'm really sorry for you." She raised her wet cheeks and put the cup back in place. "So I'm leaving. I have returned all the money I borrowed from you."
Lu Yao grabbed Chen Xiaorui's arm and looked at her in shock: "Are you kidding? How can you just leave like that? And... why on earth did you suddenly choose to confess all this to me?"
Having known Chen Xiaorui for such a long time, Lu Yao could be said to know her very well. Since she had successfully borrowed a lot of money under her name and Gu Siming's name, what made her suddenly realize and apologize to him?
Chen Xiaorui smiled bitterly: "It was Gu Siming. He... you could say he helped me settle everything, but... he did all this for you."
Lu Yao stared at her blankly: "For me?"
"In fact, I had already promised him that I would find a reason that would convince you to leave here, because he was afraid that I would hurt your heart if I told you the truth. But now I suddenly feel that you need to know all the efforts he made." Chen Xiaorui's voice was very light, like a wisp of green smoke. "He thinks of you in everything, but he protects you from being exposed to the cruel and dark side."
Gu Siming's tired but calm smile appeared in Lu Yao's mind. She wanted to ask something else, but found that she didn't know where to start.
Because she was sure of every word and sentence Chen Xiaorui said. She also believed that Gu Siming really took care of her so carefully.
Seeing that Lu Yao did not answer, Chen Xiaorui simply told her everything: "Xiao Yao, I really can't face you. In fact, Boss He often deducts money from your salary, but he always looks like he cares about you, and I..." Her voice was filled with tears, "I knew it, but I didn't have the courage to tell you, so I was also an accomplice, but Gu Siming has already solved all these problems for you. And... and your father, Uncle Lu." She raised her hand and wiped away her tears, "I heard from Xiaoyan that Uncle Lu found a job. Although he is just a security guard, people around him respect him very much, and it's a big company. Don't even think about it. Gu Siming must have done a lot behind the scenes. Lu Yao... You are really, very lucky. With him by your side, you don't need to be afraid of anything." At the end, her voice finally returned to calm, "That's all I want to say. Now I'm here to take my things. I hope that in the future... we will have the chance to meet again."
After saying that, she turned back to her room without any hesitation and started to pack up the messy clothes, but tears fell again.
Lu Yao sat alone in the living room, listening to the noise coming from Chen Xiaorui's room. He did not try to stop it, nor did he blame her.
Perhaps it was because Chen Xiaorui's words were too firm, or perhaps after learning about such a thing, the two of them couldn't really face each other for a while. So leaving temporarily was the best choice.
Chen Xiaorui seemed to have a lot of things, but she packed them up very quickly. When she passed by Lu Yao, she couldn't help but stop.
Her lips trembled a few times, but she didn't have the courage to say another word. In the end, she left quietly, and even the sound of the door closing was so light that it seemed like an illusion.
It was already early morning, and Lu Yao was still sitting in the middle of the sofa in the brightly lit living room, thinking about everything Chen Xiaorui had said, and all his sleepiness was swept away.
She raised her hand and touched her cheek; it was dry, without any tears.
But the reason she didn't cry wasn't because Chen Xiaorui's confession didn't cause her any serious psychological trauma. After all, the two had lived together for so long, and now that Chen Xiaorui left in such an abrupt way, she still felt empty in her heart for a while, but -
Her mind is now full of Gu Siming.
Although the two had been apart for less than a night, Lu Yao found that she couldn't wait to see him.
When Lu Yao was very young, her mother left her. At that time, she cried loudly while holding her mother's photo. Her drunken father impatiently pulled her arm and taught her word by word: "Lu Yao, you have been different from other children since you were young. You have lost your mother. You have to solve everything by yourself. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can't rely on others. Do you understand?"
She didn't understand at first, but when more and more troubles came to her and her father's alcoholism and gambling brought her all kinds of unbearable burdens, she finally understood that only through her own continuous efforts, perhaps things would change a little bit, or even less of a turnaround.
And she really hates asking for help from people around her, because for her, there is nothing that she cannot solve by herself. Even if she fails, she will not regret it because she has tried her best.
But now it seems, and the facts have also proved, that her view is clearly wrong.
It turns out that if someone is willing to share the burden with you, or even help you share the suffering, the obstacles in the process will be much smaller, and the final solution will be much easier. And this method is not called asking for help, but called - relying on.
What a warm word, yet trust is so hard to find.
She finally understood why he showed such a helpless yet sad look when she didn't call him by his name, but instead kept a certain distance from him and called him "President" in a distant tone.
Because Gu Siming has the same desire in his heart.
She hopes that he can trust herself completely and entrust the task of losing weight to her, and he also hopes that she can share the sweetness and even the pain in life with him.
He is willing to help her resolve her conflicts because he wants to have all of her, including the good and the bad.
Lu Yao suddenly smiled, and a small dimple appeared on her lips, making her look innocent and cute like a child. Yes! It's not a bad thing to rely on each other, so why should we reject each other?
Both material and spiritual things are needed by human beings, but the needs are different at different stages.
For Lu Yao now, material things are what she urgently needs, but out of "self-esteem" or "inferiority", she will reject Gu Siming's material help. But on the other hand, for Gu Siming now, he may be even poorer in spirit, and the appearance of Lu Yao just fills the gap he has. So, in fact, these two people complement each other.
Perhaps it is because people nowadays value material things more, so we often forget that spiritual fulfillment is also very important. It can even be said that spiritual satisfaction is the ultimate goal of human pursuit.
Suhomlinski said: The poorer a person's spiritual taste is, the lower he will be in finding means of spiritual happiness.
From this we can see that a high spiritual level is more difficult to pursue than a material level, but also easier to obtain.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but Lu Yao only felt that time passed very slowly. In contrast, her longing for Gu Siming became stronger and stronger.
She stayed awake the whole night until the sky in the distance turned pale and the cool but warm sunlight poured into the house. She immediately took out her cell phone and dialed Gu Siming's number.
"Hello?" The other party answered the phone quickly, and his low voice was lazy and hoarse.
Lu Yao didn't mention anything about Chen Xiaorui. She first greeted Gu Siming cheerfully, "Are you up yet? We still need to exercise together this morning, right?"
He seemed to have just woken up, but he subconsciously agreed: "I understand, see you in Central Park."
"Okay! See you later!"
So Lu Yao simply tidied herself up, opened the door, breathed in the fresh and cool air, and walked all the way to Central Park.
She first greeted the elderly people who had already gathered in an orderly manner, and then Wu Ma asked enthusiastically: "Xiao Yao! Why did Siming come later than you again today?"
Lu Yao smiled slightly and was about to answer, but she saw a familiar figure not far away walking towards her with steady steps.
His tall and slender figure was like a big tree that protected her from wind and rain, and the smile on his lips was always gentle and doting.
The sunlight slowly melted and spread into a golden glow on his lips.
She stretched out her hand and waved vigorously, running towards him as well.
That was the future she could see, and it was also the most beautiful and most wonderful time she could see.
