Captivate the Ghost Boyfriend - C287
When he returned to Xie Siqian’s home, he didn’t see any trace of Xie Siqian. He searched the entire house but didn’t find any trace of Xie Siqian. In fact, there wasn’t even any trace of him returning. It seemed like he had been very busy last night, so he didn’t come back until the next morning. This also saved her the time of meeting Xie Siqiang, so she needed to give him an explanation. Feeling a little tired, the imposter returned to his room to have a good rest.
She didn’t know that the matter between her and Zhao Haoyi had caused Jiang Jiayi to be lost on the streets.
The sky gradually brightened up. Xie Si, who had been searching the mountain for the entire night, had just slept for a short while when he was woken up by the rays of the sun. Originally, he didn’t need to sleep much. It was just that looking for a path in the mountains made him feel extremely tired, so he unknowingly fell asleep.
He stood up and looked around. It was still an endless mountain, and there were no signs of people staying here. However, if he couldn’t find Gu Linxi in this place, Xie Siqiang wouldn’t know where he could go. Gu Linxi might be waiting for him at this place, bringing his belongings with him. Xie Sisi continued on her way up the mountain.
The dew on the ground and the occasional branches that passed by made Xie Siqian look extremely miserable. It was as if he had just experienced a war of attrition. He couldn’t be bothered with what his current appearance looked like. In his heart, there were only the three words, Gu Rinxi. The strong feeling that Gu Rinxi was there gave Xie Siqian the motivation to persevere.
“What are you looking at?” Li TienNiu busied himself with pasting the word ‘happiness’. Looking at the depressed Gu Lingxi, he suddenly looked up the mountain and assumed that Gu Xiangxi was considering the possibility of fleeing.
Gu Linxi didn’t reply to Li TienNiu’s words. Ever since Li TienNiu had mentioned marriage, Gu Lingxi hadn’t said a single word to Li TienNiu. The way she was acting now seemed to accept her fate, but it also seemed like she was silently rejecting him. The wooden window was pasted with the word ‘happy’ and the door was pasted with the same color. Coupled with the ones hanging on the wall, they were all extremely joyous. However, Gu Jingxi didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy.
As the female lead for tomorrow, Gu Linxi felt that these red joy words were rather dazzling. She continued to sit there, looking at the other side of the mountain. She wouldn’t tell Li Tieniu that she thought someone had come looking for her. It would be right on the other side of the mountain, and would come looking for him very soon. Who was this person? There was also a guess in Gu Linxi’s heart — he was Xie Siqian.
Only Xie Siniang would not give up and come looking for him. Perhaps she would be able to leave this place soon, but of course, both of them would be left behind. After all, if Xie Siqian had come here, he definitely wouldn’t have brought so many people with him. Perhaps Xie Siqiang had come looking for him alone. Meanwhile, in this place, there were so many people that Xie Si was probably unable to defeat him.
However, as long as she thought of the company of Xie Siqian, she didn’t feel that afraid anymore. Even her fear of the future lessened a lot. However, these things were just her own guesses. Perhaps she was overthinking it. Closing her eyes, Gu Linxi began to think about what she should do tomorrow, whether she should run away and take the risk of escaping this place.
In reality, there were only two options in front of her. She could only choose one of the two options and take responsibility for it to the end.
“Ling Xi?” Li TienNiu closed his eyes and stopped what he was doing when he saw Gu Linxi. The person sitting on the rocking chair seemed to be asleep. Li TienNiu lightly walked in front of Gu Lingxi, and then lightly patted his shoulder. Gu Linxi didn’t open his eyes. It seemed that she had really fallen asleep. If she were to fall asleep like this, she would definitely catch a cold. After all, the weather was a bit shady today, and it was not as hot as the previous two days.
He took a thin blanket from the house and covered Gu Linxi with it. Li TienNiu began to busy himself with the matters at hand. Since he had said that he would marry Gu Lin Xi tomorrow, Li TienNiu would definitely do the best he could. According to the customs and habits of this place, it was not considered a troublesome matter. It was just that after treating a fellow villager to a meal, he would then announce that he and Gu Lin Xi were already husband and wife.
“How did your wife fall asleep?” Li TienNiu called a few people over to help him out. As soon as he arrived, he saw that Gu Linxi had fallen asleep in front of the door.
She was going to be a bride tomorrow, and she didn’t seem to care at all. However, it was no wonder. They were well aware of the origin of this bride. They knew that this bride was not willing to marry Li TienNiu. However, since this woman was married, she would be able to live a peaceful life. Since she wasn’t willing now, she would be fine in two days.
“She didn’t sleep well last night. She was sleepy.” Li Tieniu could only say this as well. He also felt somewhat puzzled as he looked at Gu Linxi’s figure. These words were just an excuse for the others, but Li TienNiu himself didn’t think so. He was a little worried that Gu Linxi’s injuries weren’t completely healed, which was why she had fallen asleep in broad daylight, sitting on the floor. Furthermore, she had fallen into a deep, deep sleep.
He was just asking a simple question, he wasn’t really asking for the details. If he really wanted to get to the bottom of this, then it would be meaningless. Anyway, this could be considered a happy occasion in the village, and it had been a long time since the village head had been so lively. However, from the bottom of his heart, this person also felt that Gu Linxi and the Li Family Second Fool weren’t compatible. This woman looked like she was a spoiled child and wasn’t really suitable for a backwater village like them.
Gu Linxi didn’t have any relatives or friends in this place, so she left out the part about welcoming the bride. After some discussion among the last few, it was as Li Tieniu had thought, there was only the sound of the villagers being told that the guests were to be invited to a meal. However, this wedding dress was still there. It was unknown from where the wedding dress, Li TienNiu, had taken it out from, but he placed it on Gu Jingxi’s bed.
It was unknown how much time had passed since she fell asleep. When she woke up, he saw that his body was covered with a thin blanket. Knowing who it was that covered him, Gu Linxi felt even more helpless. Li Tieniu was a good person, but she really didn’t want to marry him. [Why must such a good man do something that does not conform with such a good man?]
Gu Linxi couldn’t quite wrap her head around it. She clearly felt that Li TienNiu had never been this happy about this marriage, but he just didn’t want to give up. She really didn’t understand what Li TienNiu was thinking. After waking up, Gu Linxi took a look at the house. It was pretty much ready, but she still hadn’t figured out what she should do. Tomorrow she would be someone else’s bride.
As he thought of this, Gu Linxi’s heart began to ache slightly.
The red candles and the others had all been prepared. Gu Linxi still had a dreamy feeling. This was not the way she wanted to get married. The time was wrong, the place was wrong, even the groom was wrong. Gu Linxi silently walked back to the room that was temporarily hers, only feeling that her steps had become a bit heavier. Halfway up the wooden stairs, she saw Li Tieniu standing at the top of the stairs, looking down at him.
He turned his face away, pretending that he hadn’t seen Li TienNiu.
