In the quiet room,
Mugwort recounted everything that she had experienced in a low voice.
It was like telling a story,
Even she herself felt that it was absurd and unbelievable.
Therefore, she didn't know if Gu Dong would believe her, and she didn't know how Gu Dong would react after hearing it. She was afraid that Gu Dong would be afraid of her or dislike her,
And think that she was a monster.
Yes, a moment of excitement made the Ai Cao open her heart to Gu Dong,
But what about the consequences? Could the consequences really be borne by her?
"So, it's what you see now. I'm not the Ai Cao of the Ai family from before,
I don't know if she's dead or alive now,
After I woke up, the world changed, and the food-growing Zhuangzi also appeared out of nowhere. I don't know why this happened,
But the truth is that these ghost-like things happened to me. "
The Ai Cao didn't give Gu Dong a chance to interrupt and explained everything in one breath.
Before she said it, she thought that she could bear Gu Dong's attitude no matter what. At most, he wouldn't accept her as an "alien" or wanted to harm her,
She would hide in Zhuangzi alone.
But now? The Ai Cao didn't dare to raise her head at all,
She was afraid to see the strange look in Gu Dong's eyes.
If she didn't love him, she wouldn't have any scruples. At this moment, the Ai Cao admitted that she really liked Gu Dong.
"Do you have anything else to say or ask?" The Ai Cao still lowered her head and sat on the small stool beside the bed. From Gu Dong's point of view,
He couldn't see the Ai Cao's expression,
He could only see her hands,
They were nervously clasped together on her knees.
She was so small that she looked helpless and fragile.
Gu Dong looked at the Ai Cao like this. His eyes were red, and he even felt that he was a little hateful.
The things that the Ai Cao told him were shocking. If it were him, would he tell an outsider such a secret?
Probably not.
Life had taught him to protect himself. He had to be on guard against people who would harm him for no reason.
If there were no accidents, he would probably keep it in his stomach for the rest of his life.
But now, the Ai Cao had told him.
What did this mean? Gu Dong was not a fool. At this moment, while he felt sorry for the Ai Cao, he was also secretly delighted.
He was just a little happy. It was all these seemingly inconceivable accidents that allowed him to obtain the Ai Cao, and now the Ai Cao was his wife.
"Well, I still have something to ask." Gu Dong moved his body and tried his best to sit up. He leaned against the headboard.
Then, he stretched out his arm and pulled the Ai Cao's hands that were on his knees.
His large palm easily wrapped around the Ai Cao's small hands. Their palms were slightly warm, and they warmly transmitted each other's warmth.
The Ai Cao's heart was thumping non-stop. At this moment, she was a little timid. She lowered her head and missed the love in Gu Dong's eyes that were focused on her.
She was waiting for Gu Dong to say something, but she was also afraid that Gu Dong would say something. At this moment, although it was only a short time, the Ai Cao's heart was tormented as if it had been a long century.
"Are you in any danger? Will you go back? Will the food in Zhuangzi cause you any harm? Will you, will you leave our house? "
In the end, Gu Dong's voice was filled with caution, as if he was afraid of scaring the Ai Cao.
The Ai Cao was stunned by the question. She raised her head and looked at Gu Dong with a puzzled expression.
Gu Dong's expression was nervous, worried, and concerned. However, he did not have the disgust, fear, and panic that the Ai Cao was afraid of.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" The Ai Cao did not answer. Instead, she asked him a question.
"Why should I be afraid of you? You're my wife. Why should I be afraid of you? "It would be a lie to say that there was no fluctuation in his heart. However, Gu Dong could really accept this matter.
After all, there were all kinds of strange things in the boundless world. Take the blind old woman in the village for example. She would read people's fortunes and touch their bones. Those who were familiar with her knew that some things she said were very accurate.
Could you use normal thinking to explain this kind of thing? No, there were also things like summoning souls and sending spirits.
It was better to believe in such unfathomable things than to not believe in them.
Moreover, Gu Dong could accept it so quickly. It had to be said that it had something to do with his own experience. Growing up, he had been exposed to the fickleness of human nature in the village. He was used to being alone and not being afraid of anything.
The Ai Cao was different from other people. The Ai Cao was equivalent to giving him a home. In his life, she made him feel different.
This warmth and the warmth of a family. If he had not experienced such a long period of loneliness, he might not have yearned for it so much. However, this kind of life that he wanted in the past, even in his dreams, did not have such a good life. Now that he had tasted the sweetness, he did not want to lose it at all.
To be precise, compared to the Ai Cao saying about ghosts and gods, he was more afraid that the Ai Cao would leave and leave him alone.
Yes, he had his grandfather, but after all, the things that the two of them gave him were different.
The Ai Cao looked at Gu Dong seriously and found that he really did not show any expression of disgust. The heavy burden that had been weighing on her heart for many days finally could not be held back.
"Sob, sob, sob." She threw herself on Gu Dong's chest and hugged him as she cried.
After coming to a strange world, she was alone and had no one to rely on. She had no one to talk to about everything that she had endured. She also had to worry all day long that her secret would be discovered and she would be persecuted.
After such a long time, even though the Ai Cao had adapted to life and occasionally laughed in her life, the stone that was weighing on her heart had never been lifted.
"Okay, don't cry. You're going to become a cat with a dirty face!" Gu Dong gently patted her back to tease her and comfort her.
However, her understanding and concern made her cry even more uncontrollably.
During the ward rounds at night, Gu Dong asked the Ai Cao to hide in the toilet and wait until the ward rounds left before he quietly called her in.
That night, there were two people lying side by side on the small hospital bed.
He did not know when, but the Ai Cao did not seem to reject this kind of intimate contact with Gu Dong. Moreover, in this kind of situation where they were just covering each other with the quilt and chatting, she would not think too much about other things.
However, just because she was pure and did not think too much about it, it did not mean that Gu Dong did not have other thoughts.
At the age of 18 or 19, it was the time when a young boy was full of energy and his heart was restless. Even though she was living in Zhuang Yan's house now, the Ai Cao still took a bath every day. Sometimes, she even took a petal bath for beauty and skincare.
The two of them slept under the blanket. The tempting body fragrance of the young girl kept drilling into Gu Dong's nose. It was very tempting.
When the two of them were talking, the Ai Cao would move around when they were talking about something exciting. Their bodies were close to each other and constantly rubbed against each other. The temperature of their bodies was also rising.
Gu Dong was so hot that his face was flushed.
However, he looked at his wife next to him. She looked innocent and was still excitedly telling him the interesting things that she heard from Jiang Yuan in the afternoon.
Most importantly, he could not touch the Ai Cao now. The Ai Cao's body was weak. Before she was raised, the blind woman said that if he messed around and made her pregnant, it was very likely that both her and the baby would die when she gave birth.
No matter how strong his desire was, it was not as important as his wife.
Gu Dong quietly moved away a little. He patted his hot cheeks and reminded himself to focus. He had to listen to his wife carefully and have a good chat!
"What did you say just now?" Gu Dong tried hard to focus and continued chatting with the Ai Cao.
"I said that Jiang Yuan gave us some cloth and some cotton this afternoon. Although it's not a lot, but, but …" The Ai Cao quietly whispered into Gu Dong's ear. Her warm breath hit Gu Dong's ear.
It made Gu Dong's heart feel like it was being scratched by a cat.
"But there's some in Zhuangzi. I'll add some when we wear winter clothes. This way, we'll have thick cotton-padded jackets to wear in winter and won't freeze. "After the Ai Cao finished speaking, she covered her mouth and chuckled. She was afraid that she would disturb the doctors and nurses passing by in the corridor.
Gu Dong did not know if he would freeze in the future. Anyway, he was about to die from the heat. He had to say something that could make him sober up a little. Otherwise, he really wanted to touch the Ai Cao.
"Right, I heard you say that Zhuang Yan is studying in high school. Have you ever thought about continuing to study?" Gu Dong asked the Ai Cao with a serious face.
It was because he was stimulated by the Ai San An in the afternoon. Moreover, his wife's situation was very special. If she really stayed in the village and did farm work all day long, would his wife not be able to take it anymore and leave him one day?
So he had an idea. If he studied like this, it would be impossible for him to find a job in the city that would be paid by the government. However, the Ai Cao could!
"Go to school? Study? " The Ai Cao recalled the experiences of the original owner and said with a frown: "Don't go. I don't have much in my head. I won't be able to learn."
The things she learned from a teacher when she was young were too different from the things she learned in school. Moreover, the original owner did not know anything and was just wasting her time.
If she didn't know anything, how could she continue to study?
"Study. It's better to continue studying. Look at those students. They only need to sit in the classroom and listen to the lessons. They don't need to work in the fields. Moreover, they can't be exposed to the wind or rain." The more Gu Dong said, the more he felt that this matter could be done.
"But … …" The Ai Cao still had some concerns. Studying meant that she would likely have to leave the village and come to Gu Dong.
"If you study, then maybe you'll be sent to the city after you come out. You've also seen it. Aren't the lives of the people in the city better than those in the village? "Gu Dong tempted her.
Ai Cao thought about the people in Jiang Yuan's courtyard that had left the deepest impression on her over the past few days. Not only were there many children and it was noisy, but many of the families were also squeezed into one courtyard. They didn't even have their own kitchen or toilet.
She shook her head: "I think the lives in the village are very good." The Ai Cao felt that the lives of the people in the city were not as good as those in the village.
"You … …" Gu Dong pointed at her little head and deliberately said with a straight face: "Why don't you have any ambition?"
The Ai Cao was unhappy. She patted his arm and said with a bitter face: "I don't know anything. How can I study? I won't be able to catch up in school. Moreover, I haven't studied for a year. I won't be able to get into the technical secondary school."
That's right. In the past, the Ai Cao went to school to waste time and did not learn much. She needed knowledge to get into the technical secondary school.
"Then you can take your time to learn. Anyway, you won't be able to get into the school until next summer." Gu Dong did not give up.
"Even if I study, we're from the same family. Who knows, maybe the school will not accept me." The Ai Cao was not illiterate. She knew how to read and had read a lot of books. She felt that this was enough.
It was a new world. It was not easy for her to feel a sense of security around Gu Dong. She had familiar people and friends. She had just gotten used to it and did not want to enter an unfamiliar environment again.
The Ai Cao was not a competitive person. She was more easy-going. In a new environment, she had to do something big. She had to be outstanding. She had to leave her name in history. These did not exist in her mind.
The most important thing was to live a good life.
She had just eaten her fill a few days ago. Why would she need a bicycle? She did not have any ambitions.
"Your household registration is still with the Ai family. The captain can issue a certificate." Gu Dong was more thoughtful.
"But I won't be able to get into the school." This was very realistic.
"Go back and study first. We can talk about other things later." Gu Dong tucked her in. He was determined to let the Ai Cao go to school.
The Ai Cao turned her head and ignored him. She did not understand why he was so stubborn.
In fact, some things could not be blamed on the Ai Cao.
The education she received in her previous life told her that she had studied for more than ten years. Chess, piano, calligraphy, and painting. No matter which one it was, although she was not the best, she knew how to do it.
The things she learned weren't any worse than the things the original owner learned after going to school for so many years. Mugwort even felt that some of the knowledge taught in school was simple. Of course, the physics and chemistry she didn't come into contact with, because of what the original owner did, she didn't feel that it was very useful.
If Mugwort were to say that this was Mugwort's current thoughts, then the original Mugwort would have to shoulder the blame. This was because the original Mugwort's thoughts conveyed to Mugwort was that school was boring, there was nothing to learn in school, and school was an annoying place.
The Ai Cao had been in this world for more than two months. The original owner's memories conveyed a very deep message to her. After all, in these two months, other than Gu Dong and her grandfather, she did not have a deep relationship with anyone else. Even when she was with the educated youth, she did not talk about school.
The bright moonlight shone through the window and onto the bed. It enveloped the Ai Cao's small body.
