I don't care to meet you in this life

Chapter 17 The Gentle Night
Night is beautiful and mysterious.

Most people tend to prefer dark nights.Just because in the deep night, I can remove all my disguises and see the truest self in my heart.

Gu Anyuan is undoubtedly a qualified boyfriend.In this gentle night, he tried his best to hold back his impulse, just to guide and lead the woman he regarded as precious, and teach her the direction of the road to happiness.

He has made mistakes.Now, he wants to make amends.

A few years ago, if he could have realized Ye Jing's psychological problems in time, and guided and helped her gently and properly, instead of suspecting that her love for him was not deep enough, then the two of them would be in a different situation now right?
He missed it once, lost it once, and now, after going through all kinds of hardships, she came back to him and nodded to him with tears in her eyes: I am willing.

The woman next to her groaned.Countless images flashed through Ye Jing's mind as if a movie was playing.It seemed to hear someone crying, and the voice sounded like pain and happiness.

The lamp beside the bed was trying its best to emit soft light, and circles of light blurred, lightly hitting the two of them.All is silent, only this gentle night remains.

Finally, not long after, Ye Jing handed in a satisfactory answer sheet to Gu Anyuan.He was overjoyed, knowing that her psychotherapy had achieved the desired effect in recent days, so he seriously and sincerely expressed his enthusiasm and put his hands in front of her.

once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.

After a night of affectionate love in a room, it is a bright and sunny day approaching autumn.

Gu Anyuan woke up very early, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Ye Jing sleeping in his arms like a kitten.He raised his right arm and was surprised to find that it was almost numb.How long did you sleep like this?

Outside the window, the soft sunlight had already poured in through the curtains, and the changing light and shadow shone on her body.Like a child who has no worries, she entrusts everything to this man beside her, and then sleeps sweetly in her own world.

Gu Anyuan also hugged her while lying down like this before.It's just that at that time, because of his suspicion of her feelings and her doubts about her psychology, they didn't enjoy such a quiet leisure love time.

Ye Jing suddenly fluttered her eyelashes a few times, and opened her eyes against the bright rays of light.

"Wife...are you awake?" Gu Anyuan's eyes as deep as well water were looking at her tenderly, and there seemed to be a smile on his lips, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.

Ye Jing immediately exclaimed, shouting: "Ah! What time is it? Are you going to be late for work?"

"You are such a dedicated employee..." Gu Anyuan put one arm on his head and looked at her with a smile.

"Stop making trouble!" Ye Jing got up in a hurry, and when she lifted the air-conditioning thin quilt, she screamed again: "Ah..." Then she immediately blushed and covered herself with the quilt.

Seeing her cramped little face, Gu Anyuan stopped teasing her, and said softly, "Honey, today is Sunday, you won't leave me and go to the company to work overtime, right?"

As soon as Ye Jing heard that today was Sunday, she relaxed a little, wrapped herself in a quilt and started looking for clothes.

She just leaned her body to the edge of the bed when she suddenly saw the safety equipment thrown randomly on the ground, she was still a little dazed.

Gu Anyuan thought she was shy, so he only pursed his lips and smiled silently behind her.But Ye Jing looked at the ground for a while, then turned her head seriously and said to Gu Anyuan with a small face: "Anyuan... Did we go well yesterday?"

"Solemnly declare, if you call me by my name when we are alone, I will refuse to answer any of your questions." Gu Anyuan said solemnly, but there was a sly light under that solemnity.

"Husband..." Ye Jing also followed him, "I, am I alright?"

Ye Jing's question was very vague, but Gu Anyuan still knew that she was talking about her own mental illness.He also sat up, hugged Ye Jing's shoulder lightly, and said softly: "My wife, it's not that you're 'well', it's that you have never had any problems... It's always been my fault that I wasn't considerate and gentle enough to you. "

Hearing his words, Ye Jing knew that he was trying to comfort her, but she still felt very useful.She didn't speak, picked up the nightgown on the floor and put it on, and was about to wash her face.

After only two steps, she inadvertently looked at the set of bright red lace underwear that Gu Anyuan threw on the floor last night, a trace of shyness quickly wiped off her face, but once the shyness passed, she started to make up her mind again.

Did Gu Anyuan buy it himself?Or let Jenny do it for her?If it was Jenny... how would I face her in the future?
"Why are you standing there in a daze?" Gu Anyuan asked.

Ye Jing turned to face Gu Anyuan: "An...husband, did you buy this suit?" Her face was rosy with spring, and her eyes sparkled with touching light.

"This..." Gu Anyuan quickly lowered his head, organizing his words to give her the most perfect answer.

"Tell the truth!" Seeing his hesitation, Ye Jing knew that he was not going to tell her the truth.

However, Gu Anyuan seemed to have made a lot of determination, raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "It was given by Xiaosi! You know, how could I do such a thing? Go to a lady's shop and choose this kind..."

"Chen Yuxuan?" Ye Jing was startled, stretched out his arms and crossed his chest, his eyes suddenly showed a look of ferocity.

Bro, offended.Gu Anyuan mourned for Xiaosi in his heart.For a friend, he can stab a knife in both sides, for a woman, he... can stab a friend twice.No wonder, how would he tell Ye Jing that he deliberately drove more than ten kilometers to a shopping mall in the south of the city, wearing sunglasses, and carefully selected this set of red and happy underwear?How to describe the faces of those female shopping guides who tried to hold back their smiles after he paid the money and went out?

After washing up, Ye Jing cleaned up the room a bit, and then the two went to the restaurant on the first floor of "Night View" to have breakfast together.

When he was about to finish eating, Ye Jing saw his friend Tang Xiaoyi coming to the restaurant with sleepy eyes open, holding Chen Yuxuan's arm.Ye Jing greeted immediately.

When Tang Xiaoyi saw Ye Jing, she immediately regained her spirits, sat down beside her with a smile, and secretly asked in her ear: "How is it, Master Jing, is the gift I gave you useful? Is there... anything unusual?" Feel?"

Tang Xiaoyi asked mysteriously.As soon as Ye Jing heard her words, she immediately bit her lips and did not speak, only narrowing her eyes to show a fake squint.Tang Xiaoyi knew from her expression that the home run had passed, and wanted to ask more questions, but after thinking about it for a while, she stopped here and waited for the surprise in the future.

Chen Yuxuan ordered breakfast and came over to sit on the empty seat next to Gu Anyuan. As soon as he sat down, he immediately felt the angry and resentful eyes of Ye Jing from the opposite side.Tang Xiaoyi was still smiling with her head down, not noticing Ye Jing's expression.

Just such a look made Chen Yuxuan suddenly startled, he shrugged his shoulders, leaned closer to Gu Anyuan with a look of fear, and asked, "Boss, what's the situation? Why is sister-in-law looking at me so sharply? Did I make a mistake again?"

Gu Anyuan lowered his head and sipped his porridge without answering.When the two girls on the opposite side were laughing and talking about other things again, he turned his head slightly, and said in a voice that only Chen Yuxuan could hear: "Women, there are always ups and downs from time to time, so please bear with me."

With a bitterly handsome face, Chen Yuxuan quietly wiped away his sweat.

After dinner, Gu Anyuan drove Ye Jing home.It was raining moderately and there were some traffic jams on the road.

Gu Anyuan slowly drove the car into the traffic, with his lips tightly closed, as if he was seriously thinking about something.A few minutes later, he finally couldn't help asking: "Xiao Jing, when are you going to introduce me to your parents?"

When Gu Anyuan said this, his expression was a little unnatural, like a man who was anxiously clamoring for his status.

Ye Jing let out a "puchi" laugh, pretended to look at the man next to him, and said in a playful tone: "Want to see my parents? Let's see how you behave."

"Performance?" Gu Anyuan tilted his head again, "What kind of performance are you talking about? My strength... don't you understand?"

"Don't make trouble." After being with him for a long time, Ye Jing can always hear several meanings of his vague puns.

Gu Anyuan suddenly became serious, and straightened his voice and said, "I'm serious. Sometime, I want to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

The windshield wipers on the front of the car were working hard to wipe off the falling rain, and Gu Anyuan focused on the vehicle ahead.He was wearing a white shirt with the bottom tucked into his belt.His clothes were ironed evenly without a single wrinkle.

Are you going to spend your whole life with this man?Are you going to take him to see his parents and Ye Ke?
"Wait," Ye Jing seemed to think of something, "Gu Anyuan!"

"What's the matter?" Gu Anyuan seldom heard her call him by his first and last name, but in his opinion, it was unique to come here once in a while.

"You should go to meet my parents first, and then propose! Now that you have proposed, go to meet them, it is considered disrespectful!" Ye Jing spoke plausibly.

"Okay," Gu Anyuan smiled heartily, "Next weekend, I will visit my father-in-law and my mother-in-law to apologize."

Ye Jing thought about it, but there was no other good way, so she nodded slightly.

The traffic jam lasted for nearly an hour before the road cleared.When passing an intersection, Ye Jing realized that the traffic jam was not all because of the rain, but also because three cars rear-ended in a row at the intersection.The traffic police are dealing with it, and the insurance company is also preparing to tow the truck.

"The road killer is on the road again." Gu Anyuan said flatly.

"How do you know it's a female driver? You haven't seen anyone!" Ye Jing was indignant.

"Three cars rear-end in a row, and the last car has a long scratch on the ground, and I think that the green QQ car is for women only." Gu Anyuan analyzed calmly.

Ye Jing had no choice but to say nothing.

After another half an hour, Gu Anyuan took Ye Jing home with all his pains.There was a spare umbrella in the car, Gu Anyuan took it out and gave it to Ye Jing, then leaned over to the co-pilot, kissed her lightly on the lips, and then unbuckled her seat belt.

"Xiao Jing, don't forget to tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law about my visit." Gu Anyuan still did not forget to tell Ye Jing.

"Understood! Xiao Gu!" Ye Jing yelled playfully, then waved goodbye and turned to enter the building.

Father Ye, mother Ye and Ye Ke are sitting in the living room watching TV.Seeing Ye Jing coming back, Teacher Ye immediately stood up and asked loudly, "Why didn't you go home last night? Why didn't you tell us in advance?"

Mother Ye also nervously waited for her daughter to answer.

"Well..." Ye Jing smiled foolishly, "I went to Xiao Yi's house! I played too late yesterday, so I slept with her all night!" In order not to worry his parents, Ye Jing told a white lie.

Only then did Father Ye and Mother Ye let go of the heart that had been raised all the time.

Ye Ke glanced at her younger sister's face full of spring that she tried her best to hide, and smiled slightly with her eyes narrowed.He didn't say anything, and continued to watch TV with his parents.

In the morning, Ye Jing went in and out from the room to the living room no less than seven or eight times, pretending to look for something, and pretending to sit out for a while, and then kept secretly looking at Ye's father and Ye's mother's face.

During an advertisement break, Ye Ke finally couldn't help it, and spoke: "Ye Jing, tell me something." He spoke concisely, but his face was extremely doting.

Father Ye and Mother Ye also turned their heads to look at the siblings when they heard the words, showing puzzled expressions.

"About the proposal?" Ye Ke continued to ask.

"Marriage proposal?" Before Ye Jing could speak, Father Ye and Mother Ye immediately spoke in unison.

Seeing the situation, Ye Jing knew that my brother must have known that Gu Anyuan proposed to her at the "Night View" store yesterday, and he hadn't informed his parents yet.So she smiled foolishly, then gritted her teeth, and said, "Mom and Dad, next weekend Gu... An Yuan wants to visit you..."

Ye Ke really guessed her little thought, he didn't say anything, just smiled and waited for his parents' reaction.

The two elders felt sorry for their daughter, and they had heard that her daughter had let her down before, so their attitudes were more gentle at the moment.Teacher Ye stood up and said, "Xiao Jing, then you just promise her, we have nothing to do at home every day, your mother is also there at other times except for dancing at night, let someone come."

Ye Jing immediately nodded excitedly like a chicken pecking rice.Afterwards, she made a bowing gesture to Ye Ke and said, "Brother! If you don't say thank you for your kindness, I won't say thank you!"

Ye Ke had nothing to do with her, so he could only smile slightly.

After all, Mother Ye is someone who has been here. When she heard that her future son-in-law was coming, she quickly pulled her daughter over to ask him about his specific situation, name, age, family conditions, parents' jobs, and so on.

Ye Jing answered one by one, but tried her best to avoid Jiang Xueer's part, and only said that Gu Anyuan had a successful career and a harmonious family.

The two elders nodded in satisfaction.

But Ye Ke suddenly said at this time: "Xiao Jing, if you really get together, do you have the confidence to handle the future relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

Ye Ke meant something, and Ye Jing knew it as soon as he heard it.

When the two elders heard this, they thought that Ye Ke knew their daughter's future mother-in-law, and immediately asked nervously, "Ye Ke, do you know their family? Is it good for the future mother-in-law?"

Ye Jing looked at her brother nervously, while Ye Ke pointed at the bitter family drama on the LCD TV: "That's not always the case in the drama."

The other three felt relieved at the same time.Mother Ye said with a smile: "Son, if you bring your wife back, I will go back to my hometown with your father. I won't delay you, and there will be no relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who quarrel every day like this on TV."

Ye Jing got the answer she wanted, and heard that her parents had turned the blame on her elder brother, so she stuck out her tongue at him and went back to the room in a hurry.

Ye Ke listened to her mother's nagging with a good temper, and found a suitable time to interject while pointing to the TV: "Mom, Qiuyue's mother-in-law is making things difficult for her again." Ye Mu was indeed distracted, and turned her head to concentrate on it. Staring at the TV.

During the lunch break, Ye Jing was still falling asleep in a daze when she heard loud noises and movements from home.

She was wearing Chibi Maruko Momoko's one-piece pajamas, with messy and fluffy hair on her head. She stepped on her slippers and opened the door, shouting, "Ms. Ye! Mrs. Ye! Ye Ke! Are you going to move? Are you going to demolish the house!"

"Isn't your boyfriend coming? Your dad said that the house needs to be cleaned up. While your brother is also at home and can help, you should hurry over and tidy up together!" Mother Ye replied holding a broom and wearing an apron.Teacher Ye and Ye Ke are working together to move the sofa and chairs so that Mother Ye can clean them.

Ye Jing folded back on the bed and lay on the bed for a while, before getting out of bed with some anger.

The whole family worked hard for several hours before finally tidying up the house so that the windows were clean and the windows looked brand new.

Finally came the promised Sunday.

Ye's father and Ye's mother got up early to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, and brought breakfast for their son and daughter before pushing the shopping trolley home.

The four of them sat in the dining room and had breakfast, then sat on the sofa and waited for Gu Anyuan's arrival.

At about ten o'clock, there was the sound of a car engine shutting down downstairs.Mother Ye hurried to the room next to the community to look downstairs, and saw a tall man in a white shirt get out of the car, opened the back seat and picked up his things, then turned around and walked into the building.

"Xiao Jing, hurry up to meet him, he's here." Mother Ye came over and gave her daughter a happy push.

Ye Jing was reluctant in every way, and murmured like a baby: "It's not like he has no feet..."

After pushing and yelling for a while, Ye Jing stood up and went to open the door, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Anyuan's tall figure standing at the door, holding something in one hand, and preparing to ring the doorbell with the other.

The two looked at each other, smiled tacitly, and walked in together.Father Ye and mother Ye Ke who were sitting on the sofa also stood up to welcome them.

"Uncle and aunt, brother, hello, I'm Gu Anyuan." Gu Anyuan greeted politely, and then put a few gift bags on the coffee table in the living room.

"Okay, okay, come and sit down." Teacher Ye was very enthusiastic.

"Uncle and aunt, I didn't make any preparations before I came here. I don't know what you like. I heard from Ye Jing that the two of you used to be Chinese teachers, so I decided to bring you this gift on my own. It's not to your liking." As Gu Anyuan said, he took out a small dark red box from the gift box.Another roller box for calligraphy and painting was placed on the table first.

Mother Ye opened it to look, and was overjoyed: "Teacher Ye, look!"

It was a blue inkstone about twenty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide.On the surface of the inkstone is engraved a miniature version (some scenes) of Mr. Zhang Zeduan's "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival".

Two lines of words were engraved on the inkstone in running script: Indifferent to Mingzhi, you can travel freely throughout your life, and you will be peaceful and peaceful.The font is majestic and penetrating.Both Ye's father and Ye's mother are teachers, so they can naturally recognize every cursive word at a glance.Ye Ke is considered a man of culture, and he also knows that the words "Indifferent Mingzhi" on Gu Anyuan's inkstone are flattering to the point.

The two elders were very happy, tsk tsk tasted it, and then reluctantly put it away.

Gu Anyuan took the roller box of calligraphy and painting, and handed it to Ye Ke: "Brother, Ye Jing said that you work in a literary magazine, so you must have experience in appreciating calligraphy and painting. I don’t have this appreciation ability, so today I borrow flowers and offer Buddha to my brother, I hope you will like it.”

Mother Ye helped to open the calligraphy and painting, and was immediately attracted to the eyes.

In that painting, there is a galloping horse with its head facing left, its front legs crossed at an angle, and one of its hind hooves raised, as if galloping against the wind.The horse's mane is blown back by the wind, and the horse's tail is also raised high because of the speed and the wind.

What a galloping horse!
On the left side of the painting, there are a few words written in a vertical line: Yima is willing to be the first.Immediately afterwards, there was the word "Beihong" and a red square seal without any scribbles.

Ye Ke knew at a glance that this was the authentic work of Master Xu Beihong, and a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes.Gu Anyuan's meaning is obvious, "a horse is willing to be the first" is to describe Ye Ke who started from nothing, he is also galloping like this steed.

Ye Jing also stretched her head to look aside.After watching it for a long time, she suddenly remembered that once a group of people had dinner at Chen Yuxuan's "Nocturne" restaurant, and there was a similar painting hanging in the middle of the box.

Teacher Ye put away the gift and called Ye Jing to pour tea.Then he took out the cigarette case and took out one and handed it to Gu Anyuan.Gu Anyuan sat on the sofa alone at the east end, and immediately waved his hand when he saw the smoke: "Thank you uncle, I don't smoke."

Father Ye and Mother Ye nodded approvingly, and then asked some questions from time to time, Gu Anyuan also answered politely.

The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes her.

Gu Anyuan was tall and tall, with a handsome face, polite and courteous in conversation, an image of an elegant and noble son.Ye's mother lost track of the time while chatting, and just looked for some topics to insinuate about Gu Anyuan's character.

Teacher Ye gave Mother Ye a hand and said, "Let's cook." Mother Ye looked at the time, then hurriedly stood up and smiled at Gu Anyuan, then walked to the kitchen.Ye Ke also got up, and said to Father Ye and Gu Anyuan, "I'll help Mom."

Ye Jing went to the bathroom, and only Teacher Ye and Gu Anyuan were left in the living room.

Teacher Ye asked, "Young man, what do you like about my daughter?"

Gu Anyuan really thought about it before answering: "Every point."

Teacher Ye smiled, then suppressed her smile and continued: "I heard that you are the boss of Ye Jing's company, I have some concerns, so I might as well talk to you.

Although our family is not considered wealthy, we are able to live well. We didn’t expect our daughter to marry a rich family. To tell you the truth, we really don’t covet money. As long as our daughter thinks it’s good, we’ll be fine.You have known each other for many years, and you are also classmates, so you know the basics, and I am relieved.However, if Ye Jing really came to your house, can you guarantee that she will not be wronged in the future? "

Teacher Ye's words are tactful, but Gu Anyuan is a businessman and is good at listening to subtext.As soon as he heard it, he understood that Father Ye was asking Ye Jing if he could have a good relationship with his family.

Gu Anyuan stood up, bowed slightly to Father Ye, and said, "I promise you that no matter what happens, Ye Jing will be treated fairly."

"Okay, sit down." Father Ye nodded.Perhaps it was because the conversation between the two men was too serious, which made the atmosphere in the living room a little tense.

It just so happened that Ye Jing came out of the bathroom at this time, and when she saw two men sitting on the sofa, she said with a smile, "Are you sitting quietly?"

Father Ye pretended to blame: "It's rude!" Ye Jing walked over with a smile, and sat between the two of them and enthusiastically proposed: "Dad, Gu Anyuan, you two play military chess, I will be the referee for you!"

Without waiting for the two to agree, she took out the military chess box from under the coffee table, and enthusiastically played chess: "Come, come."

Gu Anyuan kept silent because he thought it was an international military game, but he was more interested.In the end, when Ye Jing took out the chess piece and took a look, it turned out to be a page of extremely poor-quality plastic paper with grids such as "regiment leader" and "battalion commander" drawn on it. Mind game.

The two men were laughing at the side. Seeing Ye Jing's high spirits, they started fighting.

Although it was just a simple game, both of them played very seriously.But obviously, the referee is a one-sided guy, always defending Teacher Ye.

Teacher Ye was very happy and enjoyed her daughter's "preference", so happy that there were layers of laughter lines on her face.

Not long after, Ye Ke came out to inform Ye Jing that dinner was ready.So several people went to wash their hands, and then Gu Anyuan helped Ye Jing clean up the table.

At the dinner table, Gu Anyuan praised Ye Mu's dishes for cooking very well, coaxing Ye Mu to smile and be kind.In such a harmonious atmosphere, Gu Anyuan's "pleading guilty" can be regarded as a perfect end.

After the meal, Gu Anyuan left.The four of them escorted him to the door, and Teacher Ye whispered, "Little Gu, don't forget my words."

Gu Anyuan nodded solemnly again.

Ye Jing who was standing at the door was pushed by Ye Mu: "Xiao Jing, go see him off."

Several people bid farewell to each other, and Ye Jing sent Gu Anyuan downstairs.

Walking to the side of his car, Ye Jing suddenly said sadly: "I guess my parents must be in a bad mood right now, just like a good cabbage being crushed by a pig."

"Who is a pig?" Gu Anyuan picked the meaning of her words and asked pretending to be angry.

"Ah, haha, hurry up and get in the car." Ye Jing pretended to be stupid again, "I have to go back to take a nap!"

It wasn't until Gu Anyuan's car drove out of Ye Jing's sight that she said angrily: "Of course you are a pig, you don't give me a hug when you leave..."
