Chapter 3018 Shen Tianyu 418
Gu Chufan moved Shi Shi to the sofa and pressed her philtrum with his fingers, a first aid method she had once taught him.
The philtrum is located one-third of the way up from the nasolabial groove.
Pressing this point firmly can stimulate the trigeminal nerve and sympathetic nerve, promote the excitation of the cerebral cortex, and improve fainting caused by low blood pressure or fatigue.
He suddenly realized that he remembered these little details perfectly, without the slightest error.
After pressing for a minute or two, Shi Shi slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at Gu Chufan's handsome face, she asked softly, "Did I faint?"
Gu Chufan stared at her thin face and dark circles under her eyes. "I'll help you to bed and have the maid call the doctor."
"No need, I just didn't sleep well, I'll be fine after a while."
She turned around and struggled to stand up from the sofa.
But Gu Chufan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
He held her, his chin resting against her thin shoulder, which was also thin and pressed against his chin.
Shi Shi paused for a moment, her body slightly still as she was getting up.
She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Gu Chufan's voice was low and deep, "I remember everything."
"Remember what?"
"I wanted to confess my feelings to you after you graduated from university, but my brother had an accident, and Guoxu entrusted Bai to me..."
He paused, not saying anything more. Shi Shi must know what happened next.
He tilted his head back slightly and slowly closed his eyes.
The skin between her eyebrows twitched slightly.
Those long-forgotten stories came flooding back, gradually becoming clearer from their initial blurriness.
He remembered everything.
I remember everything.
I have mixed feelings in my heart.
His life used to be smooth sailing, filled with happiness, success, and boundless joy. Now, however, it's a mixture of all sorts of emotions, from sweet and sour to bitter and spicy.
Shi Shi's voice was very soft, "I was too young and impulsive back then, and I didn't think things through. If I hadn't confessed to you, you wouldn't have been in such a difficult position. Later I..."
Later, to ease his burden, she chose to study abroad with Xiao Xiao.
It was originally just a pretense, but Xiao Xiao pursued her.
She thought that if that person wasn't Gu Chufan, it could be anyone.
Anyway, I'll definitely get married eventually. If I can't marry Gu Chufan, I'll marry Xiao Xiao. He's my father's student, and I know him well.
Later, she realized that it was the most ridiculous mistake she had ever made in her life. Some things cannot be compromised, otherwise they will harm both herself and others.
Opening his eyes, Gu Chufan looked down at her and noticed that there were a few white hairs among her black hair.
She is only twenty-five years old.
In the prime of youth, gray hair has appeared.
He reached out and gently picked up one of the gray hairs, saying softly, "I'll pluck it out for you; it will hurt a little."
Shi Shi nodded.
Gu Chufan carefully pulled out that strand of hair.
There is a slight pain the moment the hair follicle detaches from the scalp.
Shi Shi thought, "That's wonderful."
She started to feel pain.
I was just numb before.
She lived numbly every day, mechanically going to work, devoting all her energy to her job. She could smile at every patient, but she couldn't smile when facing Xiao Xiao.
She tried hard to fall in love with Xiao Xiao, but found it difficult.
But Gu Chufan, he doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to call her "junior sister," call her "Shi Shi," just look at her, just open his mouth, make a phone call, or even just give her a glance, and she will fall in love with him again.
She slowly turned around, hugged him, and felt a lump in her throat.
Gu Chufan said, "You graduated from university several years ago, right?"
"Yes, I've also finished my postgraduate studies."
Holding her slender frame, Gu Chufan's heart clenched, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you still want this belated confession?"
Shi Shi wanted to say "I want to," but her chest felt inexplicably tight and painful.
The pain spread to the neck, and then down to the throat.
She couldn't say it.
She took a deep breath, and her stuffy throat finally felt a little better.
She said, "Yes."
Her voice sounded a little hoarse because of the pain in her chest.
She paused for a moment, then added, "I miss it so much."
Yes, she missed him terribly, she missed him terribly. She had missed him since she was a teenager. From the first moment she saw him, she liked him so much, she liked him from her eyes to her heart to her blood to her bones to her flesh.
She freed one hand and pinched her thigh hard.
It hurts.
This actually happened.
Not a dream.
She never dreamed that she could rekindle her old relationship with Gu Chufan.
Yes, I could never have such a beautiful dream.
Gu Chufan released her, took her hand, and gazed into her eyes. "Shi Shi, let's get married. Miss Bai is going to marry Jing Hong. We'll get married after they're done."
Shi Shi's numb yet delicate face revealed a huge shock!
This was completely unexpected for her.
This is not a confession of love.
It was a marriage proposal.
She was so shocked that she didn't know how to react.
It should have been a pleasant surprise, but when people are extremely surprised, they become numb, and their brains need time to process the information.
Gu Chufan stared into her eyes. "If you're unwilling, I won't force you. After all, I was a terrible person in the past and hurt you badly. I was in a car accident and broke my neck, arms, and legs. Even if they heal well, there will still be effects. I also suffered a severe head injury, which will definitely have aftereffects. When I get old, I might develop Alzheimer's disease prematurely. It's understandable that you're unwilling."
Shi Shi swallowed hard. "I do."
After a moment of silence, she said, "I was just slow to react, not because you were in a car accident, it was just too unexpected. Don't overthink it."
She realized that even if he came back to her, they could never go back to the way things were.
Four years ago, she and he were both carefree, joyful, and without worries.
Four years have passed, and even the joy has become heavy.
She buried her face in the crook of his neck and said, "I do, I do."
Even if he becomes stupid, dies young, is possessed by evil spirits, and cannot have children, she would still be willing.
What about now?
Her tears soaked the clothes around Gu Chufan's neck. He raised his hand and placed it on her thin back, pulling her tightly into his arms. He wanted to say, "I'm sorry you've suffered like this," but he couldn't say it.
His life had been too smooth in the first half, so when faced with such a difficult situation, no matter what he did, it was wrong.
All her grievances were caused by him.
Bai Chenxue's grievances are also understandable.
Gu Chufan grabbed her hand, inserted his fingers between hers, and said, "It's too abrupt to bring up marriage so suddenly. Let's take it one step at a time and start from the beginning."
He gently pulled her away from his embrace a little, lowered his eyes and gazed into her eyes, "Shi Shi, will you be my girlfriend?"
Shi Shi nodded vigorously, "Okay."
Gu Chufan smiled.
Such a hasty confession is not his style.
He recalled that four years ago, he had planned to invite a large group of his close friends to witness her graduation ceremony the night after it ended.
Ask the hotel to prepare a room full of flowers in advance, and order her favorite cake. Since there are many people, we need to order a five-tiered cake to share.
He's sweet, she's sweet, and we want everyone to be sweet together.
He had prepared the token of his love in advance.
He suddenly let go of her and hopped on one foot toward the door.
Shi Shi hurriedly got up to chase after him, asking, "What are you going to do?"
Gu Chufan opened the door and said, "I should have had a love ring prepared for my confession four years ago. Let me go to the study and see if I still have it."
