Then, the person was hugged tightly by him, so hard.
Gu Nian hugged him back, nuzzled him in his arms, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Upstairs, Mu Lanshu stood by the window sill, looking at Chu Zhaoyang's car.
She saw with her own eyes that Gu Nian got into the car and never came out again.
Mu Lanshu covered her mouth and cried out.
"Gu Nian, do you think mom wants to make things difficult for you and break you up? If it hadn't been... what happened back then, and you had found the one you love, mom would be happy. But later... what would Chu Zhaoyang do if he knew about it? Huh? Mom doesn't want you to suffer. The more he loves you now, the more he will hate you if he knows about it in the future. "
***
At four o'clock in the morning, Gu Nian's eyelashes fluttered, and she drowsily forced herself to open her eyes.
Chu Zhaoyang's coat was still tightly covering the two of them. Because she was held in Chu Zhaoyang's arms, his body temperature kept her very warm.
Gu Nian touched the phone in her coat pocket. As soon as she moved, Chu Zhaoyang woke up.
Chu Zhaoyang was bleary-eyed. It was not very comfortable to sleep in the car. He had been pressed by Gu Nian all night, and his arm and shoulder were numb.
He raised his unnumbed left hand and rubbed her hair: "Why are you up?"
When he first woke up in the morning, his voice was warm, slightly hoarse, and not very sexy.
Not deliberately showing off, usually he wouldn't be able to say it out loud if she let him do this, and only at this time could she hear it.
Gu Nian has always felt that this was a bonus for getting out of bed.
Gu Nian took out her phone and looked at the time, and said, "I have to go back. If it's later, some neighbors will come out to catch the morning market, and they will make unpleasant remarks."
After speaking, Gu Nian covered her mouth and yawned.
Chu Zhaoyang saw a little eye droppings in the corners of her eyes, but he didn't mind it. He reached out and pinched it off with her, put it on his fingertips, and looked at it carefully.
Gu Nian's whole body felt bad and her face was red. She quickly wiped it off: "It's so dirty. Why did you even look carefully!"
"It's not dirty." Chu Zhaoyang said and kissed the corner of her eye.
Gu Nian glanced at him. He obviously couldn't say a word of love, not even "I like you", but his plain words coupled with his actions became the most beautiful words of love in the world.
Gu Nian came out of his arms and returned the coat to him.
"I'm going back, you should go back quickly and get some rest." Gu Nian said, hugging her all night, she definitely didn't get a good rest.
After saying that, she got out of the car.
The heater was on in the car and Chu Zhaoyang was holding her, so she didn't feel cold at all.
After the results came out, the contrast was so great that Gu Nian shivered from the cold.
Just as she was about to turn around and wave to Chu Zhaoyang, her body felt heavy and warm, and Chu Zhaoyang's coat appeared on her body.
Gu Nian looked up in surprise and saw Chu Zhaoyang already standing beside her: "I'll send you up."
Gu Nian smiled and nodded, letting Chu Zhaoyang take her to the door of her house.
Afraid of waking up Mu Lanshu, both of them lowered their voices.
"I'm in, you go back quickly." Gu Nian urged.
Chu Zhaoyang glanced at him and raised his finger to his lips.
Gu Nian pursed her lips and smiled, stood up on tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. Then she took out the key from her pocket, opened the door and went in.
Chu Zhaoyang stood at the door for a while before leaving.
Gu Nian was about to go back to her room, but she saw Mu Lanshu standing at the door of the bedroom, looking at her coldly.
Gu Nian was startled and shouted guiltily: "Mom..."
Mu Lanshu's eyes turned red and she turned around without saying a word and returned to her room.
"Bang!"
The door of the room was slammed shut by her.
Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief. At least, Mu Lanshu did not express any strong objections.
As long as she no longer opposed, even if she didn't give her a good face, and could neither support nor oppose, she could slowly persuade Mu Lanshu again.
***
After coming back, Gu Nian couldn't sleep anymore. She tidied up a bit and thought that she would be able to report back to the police force today and get back to work, which made her feel better.
By the time she finished packing, it was just past five o'clock. Gu Nian thought about it, then went to the kitchen, washed rice, and cooked millet porridge.
She found that there were two preserved eggs in the refrigerator, so she peeled them off, cut them into small cubes, and mixed them with salt, sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil.
She checked the time and went out to the breakfast stall at the entrance of the community to buy four fried dough sticks.
At six o'clock, Mu Lanshu came out of the room, rolled up her sleeves and was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast. Gu Nian had already brought out the cooked millet porridge and said flatteringly: "Mom, I've cooked breakfast. You wash up. Then, come and eat."
Mu Lanshu glanced at the dining table and sat down silently.
Gu Nian was overjoyed and quickly handed Mu Lanshu the chopsticks and spoon.
"Mom, I will report back to the police station today. In the evening...if Chu Zhaoyang didn't work overtime, I will bring him back for dinner." Gu Nian said tentatively.
Mu Lanshu lowered her head to eat and said nothing.
Gu Nian was not sure what Mu Lanshu meant, but she did not object, which was always a good sign.
***
At 7 o'clock, Gu Nian set out for the police station.
As soon as she arrived at the police station, she first went to Mo Jingsheng's office to report.
Back in the office, Shen Xiaoman saw Gu Nian and immediately rushed towards her.
"Gu Nian, you're finally here, and I miss you so much! I didn't realize it before you came. But when you were gone, I found that I, the only woman, couldn't communicate well with them. It's really uncomfortable. I don't know how I lived in the past!"
"I miss you so much, too." Gu Nian hugged Shen Xiaoman.
"I wipe your desk for you every day." Shen Xiaoman pulled her to her seat and wiped her fingers on the table. "Look, it's clean."
"Xiaoman, thank you so much."
When Li Shaofeng and Fu Yongyan saw Gu Nian, they both smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "Welcome back."
"Let me tell you, since Chu Zhaoyang personally picked you up a month ago, all those girls have stopped, and no one dares to say bad things about you anymore. Occasionally, some of them will say something mean. They're just so jealous." Shen Xiaoman was so busy that she dumped all the gossip she had accumulated during this period on Gu Nian.
With Gu Nian away, there was no one to share gossip with her, and she felt really lonely.
***
After getting off work in the afternoon, as soon as she left the police station, she saw Chu Zhaoyang's black Bentley parked in front of the police station.
And he himself did not wait in the car, but stood high-key in front of the car door, leaning against the car door, with his hands in his coat pockets.
Even if everyone coming out of the police station looked over, they wouldn't feel any discomfort at all.
He was dressed in dark colors, a gray suit with a black coat, and a cold and solemn face, which made him look cold, as if he had blended in with the early winter.
"Gu Nian!" A familiar female voice sounded from behind.
Gu Nian's originally good mood dropped instantly after seeing Chu Zhaoyang. She turned her head with a cold face and saw Yan Chuwei walking out with a soft and graceful smile on her face.
"I heard that you were reinstated today, why didn't you come to see me?" Yan Chuwei came over and took Gu Nian's arm affectionately. Then the expression on her face darkened, "Is it because of some misunderstandings before? So you are unfamiliar with me now?"
Many colleagues came out, but Gu Nian didn't want to give Yan Chuwei any more face, so she held Yan Chuwei's wrist with one hand and slowly pulled her arm out.
"Forensic Doctor Yan, what we had before was not a misunderstanding. There is no official business to contact the forensic department today, so there is no need to contact you." Gu Nian said coldly.
It's clear that from now on, the only contact with Yan Chuwei will be work.
"Gu Nian, are you angry with me?" Yan Chuwei said with a sad face, "Nian Nian, before I was——"
"Forensic Doctor Yan." Gu Nian didn't even want to give her the last bit of face, and didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, "Those before were not misunderstandings, but you can't smear me. I don't think you are a person worthy of association and trust. So from now on our relationship will be just colleagues, and you don't have to pretend to be familiar with me anymore, showing a sisterly affection and treating me for my good, while at the same time making little tricks behind my back to smear and frame me."
"Gu Nian, what did you say? I know that you have a deep misunderstanding of me -" Yan Chuwei said with a twitching corner of her mouth.
"Besides, don't try to use me to get close to Chu Zhaoyang. You like him, I know. But he doesn't like you, and now he has a girlfriend. If you have any sense of shame as a forensic doctor, don't do it. A villain who destroys other people's feelings. Of course, you can't destroy our feelings, but I just feel uncomfortable with it. Chu Zhaoyang doesn't like you, so why are you being so passionate and staring at him next to me? Where did the motivation come from? "
