When Gu Qingyou woke up, the sky had already darkened.
The night breeze seemed softer than the day, lifting only the white curtains.
Gu Qingyou lay on her side and slowly opened her eyes. Through the white curtain, she saw the lighthouse that was pointing to the boat that was located very far away from the shore.
"You're awake?"
A voice came from his side, interrupting Gu Qingyou's train of thoughts, but she did not reply.
She didn't know how he found out that she had woken up, but she didn't move at all.
He did not seem satisfied with her silence. He turned her on her side and told her to face him.
In the darkness, his bright black eyes were like the stars in the night.
She looked at him, not wanting to speak, not wanting to speak.
His lips hurt, but he could still feel the pain he had felt earlier.
He took her into his arms and put his arms around her bare waist, allowing her to cuddle up against him. He lowered his head and kissed her hair, which was soaked in sweat but did not smell bad at all. Are you hungry? " he asked her softly.
When she opened her eyes, all she could see was his firm and strong chest. She rarely saw him exercising, but she noticed that his physique was very good.
Still not wanting to speak, she closed her eyes again.
The man next to her seemed to kiss her on the hair again, then pulled back the covers and stood up.
She opened her eyes when she heard the water in the bathroom.
There were no lights in the room, only the lights from the beach. She wrapped herself in the quilt, turned sideways, and continued to stare at the distant lighthouse.
As if it was still early, the faint sounds of men and women laughing could be heard from the beach.
When he came out of the shower he saw that she was not sleeping again, but looking out through the wrought-iron bars of the terrace at the distant lighthouse. He sat on the edge of the bed and helped her pull a lock of hair from her cheek behind her ear.
But when his fingertips touched her delicate cheek, she closed her eyes again, and after a moment he drew his hand back.
"Get up and eat something."
She ignored him and continued to close her eyes in grief.
He seemed to sigh helplessly as he got up from the edge of the bed and went to the bathroom to fill a tub of warm water. Then he lifted her out of the bed with the quilt.
He put her into the bathtub that was always warm. Even though she still had not opened her eyes, he still lightly kissed her on the lips."You can call me when you're done washing. I'll call something in to eat."
She didn't answer, like a soulless puppet.
He rubbed her hair lovingly, then left the bathroom.
He could vaguely hear him calling the Director Jiang couple, telling them that they were outside and wouldn't be going home tonight.
The two elders reminded her of the Aunt Shu. The hands that she had not raised up until now, had finally wrapped up some of the bubbles in the bathtub and wiped them off her body.
He came in uneasily, looked at her, saw that she was already in the shower, and left the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom wearing the white bathrobe of the hotel, the hotel staff had already brought the delicious food into the room. The room was filled with a delicious smell.
She had no appetite, and even though the loss of her physical strength had left her empty, she did not even glance at the food. She dried her hair with a towel and prepared to go out to the terrace and dry it with a natural breeze.
However, just as he was about to move to the balcony, he was already wrapped around his waist.
He was also wearing the white nightgown of the hotel, and his body was filled with the refreshing fragrance of the bath, along with his own good smell. Compared to his usual suit and shoes, his hair was still dry, and he looked extremely handsome, as if he was even younger than usual.
His gentle thumb caressed her face, which had become even whiter after bathing, and he said in a low voice, "Eat first."
Gu Qingyou did not care about him and went past him and prepared to go to the balcony.
As if this was one of the actions that had forced her to submit, he picked her up by the waist and carried her to the sofa.
The coffee table was the most delicious meal in the hotel. He carried her and sat her on his lap, then asked, "What do you want to eat?"
She did not move at all as she looked at the delicious food, her eyes unfocused.
Seeing this, he picked up the cell phone beside the sofa and dialed the next number.
"Hey, Aunt Shu? "I am??"
She finally regained consciousness and raised her eyes to look at him, and as if he had guessed that she would react in such a way, he turned his phone's screen, which he had not dialed her number, towards her and said seriously, "If you don't eat, I will call the Aunt Shu myself. I think you will listen to the words of the person you love the most."
"You??"
Seeing that her unfocused eyes had regained their focus, he seemed to be satisfied as he curled his lower lip, "I think Aunt Shu would be very happy to hear my voice."
"Bastard."
Gu Qingyou spouted out these two words, and her gaze finally recovered from her shock as she looked at the food.
At this time, Jiang Jun asked her, "Do you want me to feed it to you, or do you want to eat it yourself?"
Gu Qingyou angrily turned her face away.
Jiang Jun chuckled, then placed her gently on the sofa. She stood up and went to the wine cabinet in the room and took a bottle of red wine.
Jiang Jun poured two cups of red wine, one of them was placed on the table, then picked up a sandwich on the table and took two bites.
Seeing that Jiang Jun had gone to the balcony, Gu Qingyou got up from the sofa. However, just as she was about to reach the door handle, Jiang Jun's voice came from the balcony.
"You should leave while I'm taking a bath. I've already had the hotel manager lock the door from the outside."
Gu Qingyou was startled for a moment, and then coldly glared at him.
Jiang Jun turned around and leaned on the safety of the metal barrier, her black eyes brimming with light and interest. She looked at her stiff face and said, "After you finish eating, I'll take you for a walk on the beach. If you're still hungry, then we'll just waste time in our room."
"Jiang Jun!"
She called to him a third time, but again in a sullen state, each time more serious than the last.
However, Jiang Jun only smiled, she did not seem to be angry, and slowly drank the red wine in her hand.
Gu Qingyou tried to move the door, but it was locked and she couldn't even move the door handle. In the end, she had no choice but to return to the sofa.
With her empty stomach, along with the constant temptations of the delicacies in front of him, Gu Qingyou took a deep breath. Finally, she picked up a sandwich and furiously bit onto it. Unexpectedly, the taste was extraordinarily delicious.
Jiang Jun looked at her with satisfaction.
When he came back to his senses, a trace of sadness had been hidden in the depths of his dark eyes for a long time.
At this moment, the phone on the bedside table rang.
Gu Qingyou heard her cell phone ringing. Biting onto a sandwich, she took her phone from the bed cabinet. When her line of sight touched the word "Miss Xia" that was displayed on her phone, her body trembled.
