Chapter 237 Lu Xiaoya
Chapter 237 Lu Xiaoya
If we look at the timeline, it seems that the two of them had already met around this time, and if nothing unexpected happened, this should have been the point in time when they started meeting each other's parents.
"I used to be his neighbor. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Xu Sui glanced at the various gifts the two were carrying and was pretty much certain of her guess.
She didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Shu anymore, so she made an excuse and quickly turned to leave, no longer caring about returning the pen.
Unexpectedly, watching Xu Sui turn and leave without hesitation, Gu Shu suddenly spoke up and sent Lu Xiaoya away.
"Today's plans are canceled. You can go home now. Here, take all the things I just bought."
Lu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she found herself holding a large bag full of high-end gifts, wines, pastries, and the like.
The man beside her had already chased after the person from before and disappeared in an instant.
She pursed her lips, unable to say a word. Carrying large and small bags, she stood there all alone, the cold wind stinging her face.
The security personnel at the military compound gate recognized Gu Shu. Seeing that Lu Xiaoya was someone Gu Shu had brought with him, and considering the many things the two had just carried, it was obvious to everyone that they were going to visit Gu Shu's parents.
But judging from how she looked just now, it was clear that her boyfriend had abandoned her and run off with another woman.
She wasn't given an explanation from beginning to end, leaving her alone standing at the door in the cold wind.
Some of the security personnel couldn't stand it anymore and came over to say:
"Miss, it's so cold outside. It's not good for you to stand at the gate in the cold wind. Why don't you tell me who in the compound you need, and I'll call them and see if they can come and pick you up?"
No one can enter this place without being accompanied or invited, and he couldn't possibly make an exception for this pitiful person.
Lu Xiaoya was silent for a moment, then shook her head. "No need, thank you."
The Gu family never approved of her relationship with Gu Shu in the first place, and now that they had finally relented, this kind of thing has happened. Why would the Gu family be willing to send someone to pick her up, even if they actually came to the door to meet her?
As an unmarried young woman, how could she possibly bring things to someone's door alone?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoya squatted down, picked up the bags and packages, and turned to leave.
the other side.
Gu Shu caught up with Xu Sui not long after.
Xu Sui's pace was fast, but his pace was even faster. As a soldier from the military, how could he not catch up with an ordinary person if he wanted to?
Sure enough, they stopped the person in no time, in a small alley where almost no one passed by.
By the time Xu Sui realized what was happening, there was no road ahead.
As I walked back, the man who had caught up with me was behind me again.
Now she understood perfectly well that this person had deliberately cornered her like a cat chasing a mouse, forcing her into this deserted place where she had no way to escape.
Since she couldn't escape, Xu Sui stopped running and turned to look at the person who had come from the other side.
"What do you want to do?"
If they were discovered, people who didn't know better would think there was something going on between them.
Gu Shu was tall and imposing, with cold and piercing eyes. He approached step by step, exuding an overwhelming aura of pressure.
His gaze lingered on Xu Sui's fair and pretty face for a long time, never leaving her, before he let out a sneer.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to catch up with the old times."
Gu Shu changed the subject, her voice deepening, "Did you already know I was there, which is why you were in such a hurry to leave?"
It's been so long since I last saw her, but she seems to be exactly the same as before, with almost no changes, even her personality is the same.
When they were together before, whenever she did something to offend him or didn't want to see him, she would quietly slip away like this.
Xu Sui smiled politely and distantly, "No, you must have made a mistake."
"But speaking of which, I'm married now, and you probably have someone too, so we should definitely keep some distance between us."
As she spoke, she silently stepped back, keeping a certain distance from Gu Shu.
Gu Shu is a soldier in the army and she was his childhood sweetheart. He knows all her habits, so how could he not notice Xu Sui's little actions?
"No, you're lying." His eyes suddenly darkened, and he exposed Xu Sui without hesitation.
"You used to laugh like this whenever you lied."
During the years they were together, she lied to him quite a bit, but most of the time he was willing to be lied to, so he didn't expose her.
Little did he know that he could tell from her subtle actions whether she was lying or not.
Xu Sui: "..."
But she is not the Xu Sui that Gu Shu knew now. Although their personalities are very similar, almost like the same person, not even anyone in her hometown has noticed that she has changed.
But in reality, she and the former Xu Sui are not the same person, right?
"It's getting late. I've already said goodbye, so I have to go now. My child is waiting for me at home." Xu Sui didn't know what was wrong with her. She didn't want to confront Gu Shu and just wanted to get far away from him.
After saying this, she walked around Gu Shu and was about to leave.
The next second, someone grabbed his wrist tightly and pulled him back in front of Gu Shu. The man's gritted teeth suddenly rang out in the quiet alley.
"Xu Sui, it hasn't been that long, and you already have a child with him?"
more than a year.
All things considered, they had a child not long after they got together.
Wow, that's really fast.
Xu Sui's wrist was pulled back so forcefully that it was red and numb. She pulled Gu Shu's hand away and rubbed her wrist.
"What are you doing? We're husband and wife, married for over a year. Isn't it normal to have a child?"
"Besides, I made it very clear to you back in the army that there was no possibility between us. From the moment you rejected me and gave our wedding room to Qin Yunzhou, it was already destined that we could not be together."
Perhaps, without that one twist of fate...
She wouldn't have come to this era, the original owner wouldn't have disappeared, and the original owner and Gu Shu could have been together.
However, Gu Shu just couldn't accept that the original owner was with him because of his status and position, nor could he accept that he was just a backup option for the original owner, so he chose to distance himself from the original owner.
Now that the original owner is gone, he regrets it.
There's no going back in this world.
When the matter was brought up again, Gu Shu fell silent. After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Yes, it was my fault."
He was too proud back then. When he discovered that she had no sincerity towards him and was only using him, he was so angry that his heart ached. For the first time, he did not choose to bow his head or indulge her.
But it was this one time that he completely pushed her towards another man, a man who was once his best friend.
