Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Stay Further Away (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Gu Fuqiao grabbed her pajamas and went to Old Mrs. Gu’s room.

Old Mrs. Gu hadn’t gone to sleep yet. When she saw Gu Fuqiao coming up with her clothes, she asked, "Is the toilet in that room broken?"

"No." Gu Fuqiao shook her head and said, "Zhen Guo is back, he’s taking a bath, so I came up here for a bath."

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu nodded and then looked out the window.

The sky outside the window was too dark, and in this era, there were no street lights, so the rain outside couldn’t be seen, but the sound of raindrops hitting the ground still reminded the people inside that it was pouring rain outside.

"In such weather, it’s not easy for Zhen Guo." Old Mrs. Gu said, then looked at Gu Fuqiao.

Gu Fuqiao agreed. She didn’t expect Yan Zhen Guo to come to the Gu Family at such a time. It had been several days since she last came home, and today it was so late, with such heavy rain.

She had to admit, seeing Yan Zhen Guo initially really moved her.

Gu Fuqiao nodded and said, "Yes, that’s why I let him have the bathroom first, and I came to Grandma’s."

"Sister Sun, go boil some water for Ah Jiao," Old Mrs. Gu instructed Sister Sun with a nod.

Sister Sun was about to go downstairs to boil water when Gu Fuqiao stopped her. Gu Fuqiao knew Old Mrs. Gu was very particular about her baths, usually using a large wooden barrel to soak slowly.

That would be too troublesome this way.

"I’ll just wash quickly," said Gu Fuqiao, and then she carried her clothes into the bathroom.

After washing up, she changed into her pajamas and went inside the room. She pushed open the door and saw the bathroom door ajar, with the light still on inside.

In her memory, Yan Zhen Guo usually took five minutes to bathe, but this time she went upstairs for a ten-minute shower, and Yan Zhen Guo was still in the room?

She pushed the door open and saw Yan Zhen Guo with a towel wrapped around his lower body, standing in the bathroom washing his wet clothes while the rest of him was naked.

Gu Fuqiao looked at Yan Zhen Guo and couldn’t help but laugh, thinking, fortunately... fortunately Yan Zhen Guo wasn’t running around naked.

Hearing the laughter, Yan Zhen Guo glanced at Gu Fuqiao and asked, "What’s funny?"

"Nothing, nothing..." Gu Fuqiao quickly shook her head. She leaned against the door frame and glanced inside, finding the freshly used bathroom unbearably hot, so she took a step back and said, "I’m going to bed first, take your time."

After saying that, she returned to the bed and lay down, beginning to think about the events of the past few days. Soon after, Yan Zhen Guo finished washing the clothes.

Gu Fuqiao felt the space beside her sink slightly, and she turned her head to see Yan Zhen Guo lying beside her with his eyes closed, intending to sleep.

Remembering what Mother Gu said today, Gu Fuqiao felt a bit uncomfortable inside, so she snuggled into Yan Zhen Guo’s arms.

Yan Zhen Guo felt the warmth and softness in his arms, looked down, then gently stroked her head and asked, "Planning to cuddle up?"

"Of course not." Gu Fuqiao continued to snuggle closer to Yan Zhen Guo’s arms and then looked up at him, saying, "So many things have happened recently, my mom doesn’t really like me. I feel like, if it weren’t for Grandma, I’d really have no reason to come back."

"Don’t bend over backward too much," Yan Zhen Guo nodded and said.

"Oh, there’s one more thing." Gu Fuqiao looked at Yan Zhen Guo, deciding to reveal what had happened before.

"What is it?" Yan Zhen Guo looked at her.

Thinking it over carefully, Gu Fuqiao said, "It’s about Ouyang Qing, she was bullied." After all, in front of Yan Zhen Guo, she couldn’t bring herself to say the word "rape."

But she thought, with the way she was speaking, Yan Zhen Guo should have picked it up too.

However, Yan Zhen Guo just responded flatly.

Does he know or not realize it?

So, she continued, "Originally, Ouyang Xuan and she planned something that seemed like letting me experience, but when she came in, I knocked her out, which likely accidentally led her to get deceived."

Judging from Yan Zhen Guo’s distant expression after she finished speaking, Gu Fuqiao assumed he hadn’t understood. Just as she was about to explain again, Yan Zhen Guo suddenly looked at her and asked, "Did Mom know about this?"

Unexpectedly, Yan Zhen Guo would ask this. Gu Fuqiao nodded lightly, saying, "She definitely knew, because her expression at the time was as if she anticipated it happening, but she didn’t know that the person caught in bed happened to be Ouyang Qing. Today, she even blamed me, saying..."

Thinking about what Mother Gu said, Gu Fuqiao didn’t even want to continue.

"I’ve got it," Yan Zhen Guo replied, closing his eyes and asking softly, "Do you hate her?"

Is that even a question? With how Mother Gu treated her. Of course, she hates her!

Gu Fuqiao nodded, saying, "She even wants to kill me, so how could I possibly be magnanimous... I’m not exactly the forgiving type."

"We should head back tomorrow. In the future, when visiting Grandma, we’ll come in the morning and leave in the afternoon," Yan Zhen Guo said halfway, then suddenly asked, "What do you think of Ouyang Qing and Mom’s relationship?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Gu Fuqiao almost laughed hearing this, she told Yan Zhen Guo, "Ouyang Qing is her real daughter; I must be the one they picked up."

After saying this, she looked at Yan Zhen Guo, finding him seemingly serious about pondering something. So she moved closer, smiling and said, "What are you thinking about, are you planning to help me break ties with them? But it’s okay, even though my parents don’t like me, at least I have you, right?"

Finishing, she linked her arm with Yan Zhen Guo’s, resting her head on his chest and began to relax.

Yan Zhen Guo glanced at the top of her head, slightly moving his thin lips but saying nothing.

Early the next morning after waking up, Gu Fuqiao left with Yan Zhen Guo. Seeing him pushing a bicycle out, she couldn’t help but ask, "Where did the bicycle come from? I haven’t seen a bicycle at our house."

Gu Fuqiao knew that in the 1980s, a bicycle was still a rare item, one of the three essentials for marriage!

"It’s more convenient for your travels," Yan Zhen Guo explained in a single sentence.

Actually, on his way back this time, he just happened to pass by a bike shop. He remembered that Cheng Zhang had mentioned before wanting to buy a bicycle to take his bride home, and he suddenly realized it was indeed inconvenient without one at home.

What’s more, with Gu Fuqiao usually being home alone, the distance to the market was quite far.

As Yan Zhen Guo pushed the bike onto the road, he turned back to look at Gu Fuqiao and asked, "Can you ride?"
