To You, My Beloved

The man's voice was low and sweet, but this pleasant voice was like a knife, piercing into Gu Qingcheng's heart, causing the last trace of blood on her face to fade away completely. She spoke His tone was a little pale: Tang Shi, what do you mean by this?

When Tang Shi heard this rhetorical question, he sneered, looked at the pale Gu Qingcheng, opened his mouth, as if he had something else to say, but in the end he just twitched the corners of his lips and shook off Gu Qingcheng's hand. Chin, turned and left.

There was a bang of the door closing, and Gu Qingcheng's face turned even paler. She sat on the bed in a daze, with a confused buzzing sound in her brain.

How could Tang Shi say such words to her? What went wrong in the middle? Why did Tang Shi treat her like a different person after they had a happy night?

While Gu Qingcheng was puzzling over his mind, a pleasant cell phone ringtone came from the room. Gu Qingcheng came back to his senses, picked up the cell phone placed aside, and looked at the caller ID. It was his father Gu Zhengnan calling. Gu Qingcheng paused and answered. Before she could speak, she heard her father's voice, somewhat sternly, coming from the other end of the phone: Qingqing, did you and Ah Shi last night...

Although Gu Zhengnan only said half of what he said, Gu Qingcheng still understood what he was asking. Gu Qingcheng lowered his eyes and said softly hmm into the phone.

During the phone call, Gu Zhengnan was affirmed, with a hint of excitement in his tone: Did Ah Shi say he would be responsible for you? Did he say when he would marry you?

What Tang Shi said to her quickly flashed through Gu Qingcheng's mind. She hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed to answer.

Gu Zhengnan, who has been working in the mall for most of his life, still noticed something was wrong even after a phone call: Qingqing, what's the problem? Gu Zhengnan paused and asked again: Are you still not prepared to take responsibility for you?

Gu Qingcheng was slightly startled by Gu Zhengnan's last words. Her father had always hoped that she could marry Tang Shi. However, Tang Shi's words seemed to mean that he did not want to be responsible for her. Gu Qingcheng was afraid that his father would be disappointed. Then he said vaguely: I don't know either.

Gu Zhengnan was silent for a while during the phone call and said, Qingqing, you go home first, maybe wait, Ah Shi called and said he is responsible for you.

-

Wait... I waited from morning to night, but Tang Shi's call never came. The atmosphere in the Gu family became more and more depressed. Until breakfast on the third day, Gu Zhengnan looked at Gu Qingcheng who was drinking porridge with her head down. Finally, she put down her chopsticks a little uncontrollably and asked, Ah Shi hasn't eaten yet. Have you been contacted by phone?

Gu Qingcheng swallowed the porridge in his mouth, then raised his head and shook his head at his father.

Gu Qingcheng's mother turned her head, looked at Gu Zhengnan and said, What can we do? Qingqing and Ah Shi grew up together. They originally thought that if they had a relationship naturally, they would get married as a matter of course. Now Ah Shi has no news at all, and it seems that he has no plans to responsibly marry Qingqing. Doesn't that make Qingqing look down on her?

Gu Zhengnan paused for a while and said, How about I call the Tang family and test the situation?
