She has a backup plan.
Gu Qing is a person who lacks a sense of security, so she always has to prepare for the worst.
Su Xiyue was practically glued to Gu Qing every day, so naturally she wouldn't just focus on admiring the beauty.
She also learned the methods of doing things.
She opened the chat app on her phone and entered the freshman group for Jinan University that she had joined before the start of the semester.
Since the end of military training, the group has become much quieter. Apart from some people posting small advertisements, there is almost no activity.
But this did not hinder Su Xiyue's actions.
After finding the most active members of the group, Su Xiyue sent messages to them one by one:
"Excuse me, could you please get in touch with Murong Yi? I need to speak with him about something. Thank you!"
Gu Qing was formerly known as Murong Qing; Murong should be the surname of Gu Qing's birth mother.
Later, for reasons unknown, Gu Qing took her father's surname.
However, judging from the expression and words of Gu Qing's cousin Murong Yi at the time, this incident must have had a significant impact on Gu Qing.
Su Xiyue made the decision to contact Murong Yi after much deliberation.
She knew very well that Gu Qing seemed to have a strong aversion to her birth mother's relatives.
Her hasty contact with Murong Yi might cause Gu Qing to develop the same feelings towards her.
Therefore, it is essential to strike a balance.
In short, the first step is to obtain Murong Yi's contact information.
If there's no news from Mom, try to get through to Uncle Gu.
Murong Yi was the last resort.
It should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Su Xiyue drafted a plan.
161. On the first day without Su Xiyue, what will I think?
Perhaps it's because of the change of seasons, or more likely because it rained.
On his way home, Gu Qing felt a slight chill.
Same road intersection, same traffic lights.
Even the zebra crossings were still meticulously maintained.
But Gu Qing no longer had that familiar figure by her side.
Gu Qing walked silently, carefully experiencing this feeling that was neither unfamiliar nor lonely, but could only be described as "strange" or "unaccustomed" at the moment.
Having decided to think things through calmly and not avoid the issue, Gu Qing naturally wouldn't make excuses or reasons.
When he reached the entrance of the market, he paused briefly, hesitated for a long time, and ultimately did not go in.
It must be admitted that he, who never relied on anyone, had become accustomed to Su Xiyue's presence.
He didn't depend on Su Xiyue, even though Su Xiyue would hold an umbrella for him, cook for him, and carry his things for him.
But even without Su Xiyue, Gu Qing could still do these things on his own.
He was only used to Su Xiyue's "existence".
It's not simply loneliness and solitude.
Gu Qing knew that the world would continue to function as usual no matter who was gone.
In the final years of his life as a war correspondent, even amidst nuclear bombing and the razing of cities to the ground by missiles launched from strategic nuclear submarines, he witnessed countless battles.
The world keeps turning.
Therefore, he will not feel lonely because Su Xiyue is not around.
Because he knew that Su Xiyue still "existed".
only……
Gu Qing looked at the traffic lights with a thoughtful and conflicted expression.
When the green light came on, Gu Qing stepped out as always.
A modern woman dressed in office attire walked towards me.
She looked at Gu Qing, her eyes lit up, and she quickly took out her phone to greet him, "Excuse me, sir, would it be convenient to add each other's contact information?"
Gu Qing shook his head and then brushed past the other person.
The white-collar woman looked at Gu Qing's back with slight disappointment. Such a handsome young man is a rare sight indeed. What a pity!
After crossing the road, Gu Qing suddenly turned around and looked back at the white-collar woman who had already walked away.
It's normal for him to be approached by strangers.
However, if Su Xiyue is around, such attempts to strike up a conversation happen much less often.
If Gu Qing uses the girl as a shield, then the girl is undeniably very competent.
After entering the residential area, Gu Qing went straight upstairs.
Back home, after changing my shoes, I took a sip of water.
My hand paused slightly as I put the cup down.
I remember every time I went home with Su Xiyue, the girl would always watch Gu Qing change his shoes with longing eyes.
Then I turned on the air conditioner, poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing took out his phone, opened Su Xiyue's chat window, and typed:
"You've arrived home safely, don't worry."
This was a promise he made to the girl.
What he didn't know was that right downstairs in that building, Su Xiyue was staring longingly at her own balcony.
In fact, she had been following Gu Qing ever since Gu Qing left the school gate.
To avoid being discovered by Gu Qing, she kept her distance.
When she saw Gu Qing being approached, she wanted to go over several times, but she ultimately held back.
But when she saw Gu Qing shake his head, she couldn't help but laugh.
After watching Gu Qing go upstairs, Su Xiyue stood in the pavilion in the community and looked out at the balcony.
She hoped to see Gu Qing, even just for a glimpse.
Unfortunately, Gu Qing never appeared on the balcony.
However, Su Xiyue was not too disappointed because she received a message from Gu Qing.
“Okay, remember to eat on time. Even if it’s just for one person, don’t skimp on the food!” Su Xiyue typed back.
Following Gu Qing, she saw Gu Qing hesitating at the entrance of the vegetable market.
Although she didn't know the extent of food reserves at home, Gu Qing's hesitation meant that there was some food left over.
Eating alone and eating with someone are completely different concepts.
This applies to both those who eat and those who cook.
Gu Qing, at home, stared blankly at Su Xiyue's reply.
He did not return to Su Xiyue.
Because he knew that once he replied, the conversation would be hard to end.
It wasn't that he didn't want to chat with Su Xiyue, but rather that he wanted to carefully experience his current state of mind.
Gu Qing has seen ordinary love, and she has also seen love that is deeply moving and involves life and death.
Because of her aversion to war and the pain of separation and death, Gu Qing longed for a peaceful life.
He has never experienced love, but his ideal state should be a peaceful and uneventful life for two people.
They might have a little fun now and then, and even argue and bicker, but they always make up after a while.
To be honest, life with Su Xiyue is very good.
The girl will always consciously adapt to his pace of life, and then it will gradually become her own habit.
It was like something Gu Qing always carried with him, something that had been there for a very long time without him even realizing it.
Although it hasn't quite reached the level of subtle influence, it's already quite remarkable given Su Xiyue's knowledge and abilities.
Gu Qing returned to her bedroom, turned on her computer, and placed the radio equipment in front of her.
Although we need to think about Su Xiyue's problem, the side business plan cannot be put on hold.
Only the final voice-over work remains, and Gu Qing is working hard to complete it.
