Chapter 504 Give Me a Kiss

"Let me do it!"

Someone grabbed her shoulder from behind and took the couplet from her hand.

Lu Yunchuan excitedly called out, "Daddy..."

Lu Shengsheng turned around and saw Gu Ronghui standing behind her, somewhat surprised: "Why are you here?"

The Gu family must be quite busy too.

Gu Rong went forward and pasted the couplets. "The Gu family ate their New Year's Eve dinner early. Gu Jingchen was busy entertaining the relatives, so I came out to get some fresh air."

Actually, I was worried about the mother and child.

Lu Shengsheng: “…”

That breath really travels quite far.

Lu Yunchuan's eyes were full of admiration as he praised, "Daddy, you're amazing! You stuck it on right away without it being crooked at all."

Gu Rong smiled and ruffled his hair, then said to Lu Shengsheng, "You go in, I'll take care of the rest."

Lu Shengsheng was happy to be lazy and went inside to see how Aunt Sun was preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Aunt Sun was very happy to hear that Gu Rong had returned and wanted to add two more dishes.

"No need, he's already eaten. It would be a waste to add more!" Lu Shengsheng refused to let the aunt add more dishes. They had already prepared a lot for New Year's Eve, and adding more would be too much for them to finish.

In the end, the aunt added a stir-fry dish that Gu Ronghui liked.

Gu Rong posted the couplets in reply, and Auntie also prepared the New Year's Eve dinner.

The four of them had a New Year's Eve dinner together. Lu Shengsheng gave her aunt a red envelope and told her to get some rest and that the rest could be dealt with tomorrow.

The aunt smiled and said okay, then took the red envelope and went back to her room to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Lu Yunchuan wanted to set off fireworks, but Gu Rong turned to Lu Shengsheng and asked, "I bought some, do you want to come with me?"

Lu Shengsheng shook her head, "You take him! I'm too old to go through all that trouble."

Gu Rong carried Lu Yunchuan outside with one arm to set off fireworks.

Lu Shengsheng poured herself a glass of red wine and went back to her room. Standing by the window, she looked down and saw Gu Ronghui lighting fireworks, while Lu Yunchuan stood beside her clapping excitedly.

Lu Shengsheng took a sip of red wine; the cold liquid had a slightly bitter taste.

If Lu Wenzhou hadn't had that accident, he would be the one taking Lu Yunchuan to set off fireworks now, and the three of them would be living a very happy life together.

But fate never favored her. At the happiest moment of her life, it forcibly ripped Lu Wenzhou out of her life and took away all her feelings.

"Lu Wenzhou, should I really move forward?"

……

The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Shengsheng took Lu Yunchuan to the cemetery to visit Lu Wenzhou.

I never expected to see Gu Ronghui; there was even a bouquet of fresh flowers in front of her tombstone.

"you……"

Gu Rong was also surprised to see her so early, and calmly greeted her, "Good morning."

Lu Shengsheng asked Lu Yunchuan to place the flowers in front of the tombstone, then looked at the man standing beside her and asked, "You... come to see him every year?"

Gu Ronghui did not deny it. She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "At first, it was jealousy. I wanted to see what was so good about him that made you fall in love with him so quickly and so devotedly. Later... it became a habit over time."

Lu Shengsheng remained silent; she should have expected this.

Lu Wenzhou's tombstone was clean and tidy, with not a single weed nearby. If he hadn't sent people to maintain it regularly, it wouldn't have been so clean.

"Thank you."

"No need, I'm not doing this entirely for you." He had his own selfish motives.

Lu Shengsheng remained silent. The longer time passed, the fainter her past emotions became, especially in the last two years when she seemed to have almost no desires or wants.

It was cold, so the three of them didn't stay in the cemetery for long. Gu Rong returned the cemetery to her and then went to do her work.

Lu Shengsheng didn't contact him proactively until after the Lantern Festival.

Suddenly, I received a call from Gu Jingchen.

"My older brother is sick, and he won't listen to any of us. Could you come and talk to him?"

Lu Shengsheng remained silent, not really wanting to go.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Jingchen said, "He went to the cemetery on the first day of the Lunar New Year and then developed a fever. He hasn't been able to rest. If this continues, his health will collapse." Lu Shengsheng hung up the phone, handed Lu Yunchuan over to the nanny, and then took a taxi to the Gu family home.

The butler opened the door for her. "The young master is in the study."

She hadn't been to the Gu family's old house many times, so the housekeeper led her to the study.

Before I even got close, I heard a series of rapid coughs.

The housekeeper was about to knock on the door when she stopped him, saying, "You go ahead and do your work, I'll go in myself."

The butler nodded: "Okay."

Lu Shengsheng pushed the door open and entered without knocking.

"Who let you in..."

Before he could finish speaking, he looked up and saw Lu Shengsheng, and froze instantly. "Why are you here?"

As she got up, she couldn't help but cough a few times, then covered her mouth and said, "I have a cold. Be careful not to catch it from me. Go back first."

"Knowing you're sick and not resting properly, you're making everyone around you worry and suffer." Lu Shengsheng walked over and shut down his computer.

"Eh..." Gu Rong thought back but it was too late to stop it.

"Go back to your room and rest." The clear voice wasn't a suggestion, but an order.

Gu Ronghui acted like a kindergarten child who obeyed the teacher's every word, and went back to her room to lie down on the bed.

"Did Gu Jingchen send you?"

Before she could answer, he added, "You don't need to worry about him. Don't pay attention to what he says."

"You make it sound so easy, but you're not the one being scolded." Lu Shengsheng reached out and touched his forehead; it was a little hot.

Gu Rong frowned. "Did he insult you?"

"He wouldn't dare!" Lu Shengsheng rolled her eyes at him. "You'd better take care of yourself first, don't go back to eating at your banquet right after the New Year."

Gu Rong pursed her dry lips slightly, "It's nothing serious, it'll be fine in a couple of days."

"It's been so long, and you're still not better." Lu Shengsheng didn't believe him. "You have a fever. I'll have someone get you some fever reducers."

She had just turned around when Gu Rong called out to her, "Sheng Sheng..."

Lu Shengsheng stopped and turned to look at him.

He remained silent.

She seemed to understand something in an instant. "I'll have someone get the medicine. I'll be back in a bit."

Gu Rong's Adam's apple bobbed as she watched her leave the room without saying a word.

Yet, a strange sense of unease and restlessness welled up inside me.

She was just going down to get medicine, but it felt like she wasn't coming back.

Every minute and every second felt like an eternity.

Lu Shengsheng returned with fever reducers and warm water, and his tense facial features finally relaxed.

"Take your fever reducer and get a good night's sleep."

Gu Ronghui did not take the medicine, his dark eyes silently watching her.

"I'm not leaving, otherwise I'll go back and infect Tingting."

Gu Ronghui then took the medicine and obediently stopped, but his eyes remained fixed on her, unwilling to close them.

"sleep."

"I don't want to sleep," he said in a hoarse voice. "I'm afraid I'll wake up and find that it was all a dream."

She didn't come to see me, nor did she care whether I lived or died.

Lu Shengsheng reached out and pinched his ear. "Still think you're dreaming?"

Gu Ronghui seemed not to feel any pain and nodded.

Lu Shengsheng was speechless. "Then what would make you feel like you're not dreaming?"

Gu Rong was silent for three seconds before saying, "Give me a kiss!"
