"We're friends."
"You said it's the best," Chaochao puffed out her cheeks.
Instead of saying anything, Suisui changed the subject. "It's time to sleep, goodnight."
"Okay, goodnight, Suisui." Seeing that Suisui really wouldn't say anything, Chaochao felt down, but then cheered up again. Suisui had admitted to being his friend!
I put the smartwatch next to my pillow, rolled around on the bed excitedly, and finally managed to fall asleep.
As evening approached, a sudden downpour began without warning.
Gu Wancheng was walking down the street carrying his newly repaired computer when the sudden rain soaked him to the bone. Luckily, the bag containing the computer was waterproof. He hugged the computer tightly and quickly ran towards a nearby rooftop.
Raindrops fell on his face, stinging his eyes. Gu Wancheng squinted, when suddenly an old monk in a robe bumped into him.
Gu Wancheng quickly apologized and glanced up. The old monk's expression seemed a bit off, but the rain was getting heavier, and she didn't have time to think about it further. Seeing that the old monk was alright, she quickly said, "Master, quickly go find shelter from the rain."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran forward.
Suddenly, the old monk's voice rang out from behind, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time and it was being squeezed out from his throat.
You don't belong here.
Inside the River Moon Bay villa, Gu Wancheng suddenly opened her eyes. Outside, it was pouring rain, just like that day.
"I don't belong there." Gu Wancheng murmured to herself as she listened to the heavy rain.
Remembering the red mole on her chest and her current appearance, Gu Wancheng seemed to understand something. She nestled in Bo Yizhou's arms, looked at the pitch-black room, and blinked.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Bo Yizhou opened his eyes when he heard his voice, turned on the night light, and saw that Gu Wancheng was covered in cold sweat and trembling against his body.
Gu Wancheng wrapped her arms around his strong waist, buried herself tightly in his arms, smelled the reassuring scent on his body, and responded softly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Bo Yizhou gently patted his back to comfort him.
With his gentle comforting words, Gu Wancheng gradually closed her eyes. Bo Yizhou touched her pale face, feeling a pang of heartache.
Last night there was a heavy rain, the heaviest rain since Gu Wancheng transmigrated.
I opened the window, and the air, washed clean by the rain and carrying the fragrance of earth, filled my nostrils.
Gu Wancheng stood by the window, quietly looking out.
Bo Yizhou walked over, wrapped his arms around his slender waist from behind, rested his chin on the top of his head, and whispered something.
"Are you feeling better?" Gu Wancheng had a nightmare last night, and she was not in a good state when she woke up this morning; her face was pale.
Gu Wancheng was enveloped by his aura. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"It's alright now."
That incident happened not long before he transmigrated, but he forgot about it because he took on a job and the client was too busy.
"Why did you suddenly have a nightmare?" Bo Yizhou let go of his hand and turned him around, stroking his pale face with worry in his eyes.
Gu Wancheng shook her head, saying she didn't know either.
Bo Yizhou frowned and said, "Maybe you've been too stressed lately."
Gu Wancheng nodded and smiled, "Maybe so, but it's all over now."
Bo Yizhou frowned, but Gu Wancheng was unwilling to talk about it, he didn't intend to force her.
" Suisui and his uncle are coming to visit today." Gu Wancheng patted her face, regaining some color and looking less pale, then changed the subject.
" Lin Ting told me," Bo Yizhou replied.
Seeing the question in Gu Wancheng's eyes, he said, " Lin Ting is Suisui's uncle."
Gu Wancheng nodded, indicating that she understood. "So, are you going to the company or staying at home?"
"I'll be back at noon; I have some things to take care of."
"Okay." After saying that, she walked past him to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, Gu Wancheng went to check on Chaochao's room.
Chaochao was too excited last night and didn't fall asleep until very late. She hasn't gotten up yet, and her smartwatch is next to her pillow; it's out of battery.
Gu Wancheng frowned, picked up her watch to charge it, and quietly left the room while watching the little boy sleeping soundly and snoring softly.
"Good morning, Mr. Gu. Gu." The butler Butler Chen, had been directing everyone to clean every nook and cranny of the villa. When they saw him come down, they greeted him with a smile.
Gu Wancheng smiled and nodded.
Butler Chen noticed his slightly tired expression and asked with concern, " Mr. Gu, did you not sleep well last night?"
Gu Wancheng shook her head and said, "I had a dream."
"Breakfast is ready, including your favorite seafood porridge." After hearing this, Butler Chen figured that the noise from the rain last night must have kept him awake and caused him to have such a nightmare.
Gu Wancheng yawned and slowly walked towards the dining table.
Bo Yizhou was already sitting there, elegantly drinking his porridge. Gu Wancheng walked over and sat down next to him, and a servant immediately handed her a bowl of porridge.
Gu Wancheng looked listless. She stirred the scalding hot porridge, but unusually, she had no appetite. She was too sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep for a while.
Bo Yizhou looked at his eyes, which were about to close, and frowned slightly. "Eat a little, then go upstairs for a nap."
Gu Wancheng cheered herself up and drank the porridge spoonful by spoonful. She finished the bowl of porridge quickly, put down the spoon, and wiped her mouth.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Bo Yizhou asked. He used to be able to eat two bowls, but this time he only ate one. He was really a little worried.
Gu Wancheng yawned, a few tears welling up in her eyes from exhaustion, which she wiped away with her hand.
"I'm not eating anymore, I'm sleepy."
"Go back to your room and sleep if you're tired," Bo Yizhou said.
"Okay." Gu Wancheng slowly floated back to her room, threw herself onto the bed, wrapped herself in the blanket, and fell asleep instantly.
A few minutes later, a rapid ringing sounded, Gu Wancheng suddenly opened her eyes. Damn it, who could it be!
He angrily picked up his phone, glanced at the contact name, and saw it was Zhao Chengyu.
The call connected. "Hey, Brother Zhao, what's wrong?"
Zhao Chengyu said, " Wancheng, are you free next Saturday? Your sister-in-law's cold is better."
"That's great! I'll bring Chaochao with me when I'm free," Gu Wancheng said quickly.
Okay, I'll send you the address on Saturday.
"Good."
" Wancheng. By the way, do you know the schedule for the next episode? Chen Liqing is up to something again."
Gu Wancheng "...?"
As if sensing his confusion, Zhao Chengyu continued, "Go check the official Weibo account, and you'll find out."
Gu Wancheng nodded and said she understood, then the two hung up the phone.
I tried hard to recall the plot my colleague had described, but couldn't find anything amiss. Official Weibo account? Never mind, I'll wait until he wakes up.
Between checking the official Weibo account and going to sleep, Gu Wancheng decisively chose to go to sleep; nothing could stop his determination to sleep, not even if the sky were to fall.
Before going to sleep, Gu Wancheng remembered something, picked up her phone and turned it to silent before finally going back to sleep peacefully.
At ten o'clock, Chaochao finally slept enough, got up with her messy curly hair, and reached for the watch next to her pillow.
He didn't find anything, and his mind immediately cleared. He looked around and found his watch charging on a nearby table. Puzzled, he scratched his head. Had he charged it yesterday?
Since nothing was lost, Chaochao got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
While washing up, I rubbed my stomach, which was rumbling loudly. I quickly finished brushing my teeth and ran downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Grandpa Butler, where's Dad?" Chaochao looked left and right, only to find himself alone, and asked in confusion.
" Mr. Gu has already eaten," Butler Chen said with a smile.
After getting the answer, Chaochao nodded haphazardly, carefully blew on the porridge to cool it down, and drank it in small sips. Once bitten, twice shy, he didn't want to get burned again.
After finishing her porridge, Chaochao's eyes darted around before she ran to Gu Wancheng's room.
