Chapter 1383: Resolving the Misunderstanding
Sunlight shone through the gla.s.s of the French window and was cast on the two of them as they slept soundly in each other’s arms. Gu Junling lifted his heavy eyelids open as his brain began to sober up. He tried to keep his eyes open, only to have the bright sunlight blind his eyes.
“Yes!” He grunted in a bid to extend his hand to rub his throbbing forehead.
His arm sunk and he subconsciously raised his head to see that Zhou Tianyu was hugging his arm, all curled up beside him while sleeping soundly. He instantly got a great shock.
He was extremely flabbergasted and was scared soulless.
The memories of the past night seemed to have drowned him.
After finding out that Zhou Tianyu was going to go abroad, he felt extremely miserable and decided to drown his sorrows in alcohol. For some reason, he called Wen Xinya and aired his grievances. However, he could not remember what happened afterward.
He clearly remembered having a long dream.
In the dream, Zhou Tianyu poured her feelings out to him and whispered sweet nothings to him. He then decided to get intimate with her out of a moment of agitation. Due to the fact that the dream was extremely pleasant, he could remember every detail.
Could it be that it was real and not just a dream?
He had gotten intimate with Zhou Tianyu in a drunken stupor.
The thought of it made Gu Junling panic as he was at a complete loss for what to do.
At this moment, Zhou Tianyu woke up and opened her eyes, only to make eye contact with a pair of s.h.i.+fty and fl.u.s.tered eyes. The memories of last night hit her like a wave and she immediately turned hot and red, not daring to look at him anymore.
Her avoidance made Gu Junling’s heart sink to rock bottom. He frantically tried to explain, “Tian… Tianyu, I’m sorry. I had too much to drink last night. It… it… was all my fault.”
Gu Junling had no idea how to explain himself at all. It was a matter of fact that he had hurt Zhou Tianyu and no amount of explanation could give him an excuse for what he had done. He could not bring himself to make an excuse and pretend that nothing had happened.
He was filled with fear because Zhou Tianyu had never accepted him before and had always been avoiding him, so much that she even decided to go overseas. Zhou Tianyu obviously wouldn’t forgive me for what I have done to her in a drunken stupor, he thought.
Sensing the fear in his voice, Zhou Tianyu said shyly and morosely, “Junling, I… ”
Gu Junling hugged Zhou Tianyu agitatedly and lowered his pride to plead with her. “Tianyu, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have done those horrible things to you after I got drunk. I’m worse than a beast. Now that things have come to this, there’s nothing else for me to say. I’m begging you, please don’t leave me. Give me a chance. I’ll love you and dote on you. Don’t go overseas, alright?”
Gu Junling could not be bothered about his pride and dignity anymore. He was the one who had hurt Zhou Tianyu and he hoped that she could give him a chance and forgive him. He didn’t want the matter to cause them to grow distant.
Zhou Tianyu hugged Gu Junling and asked with a sigh, “Do you think you only did that to me because you were drunk?”
Zhou Tianyu felt extremely sad to see how cautious the usually prideful and dignified Gu Junling was around her.
I shouldn’t have done that to Gu Junling.
He’s so innocent and he doesn’t know what the Zhou Family is going through at all. Yet, he had to accept my avoidance and my cold rejection. I was really cruel to Junling.
Gu Junling dared not look at Zhou Tianyu at all. He said in despair, “If you insist on going overseas… shall I go overseas together with you?”
He had loved Zhou Tianyu for more than a decade and it had already become a habit of his to be around her all the time, and loving her had already become a part of his life. He had never thought of giving up on her before, perhaps because he felt indignant or he simply loved her too much. He was willing to do everything he could for Zhou Tianyu.
“Silly, I did it willingly,” said Zhou Tianyu, whose eyes turned watery as she began tearing up. Gu Junling was not good at wooing girls at all and in fact, he was rather timid when it came to relations.h.i.+ps. Despite being a blockhead, she could still feel his genuineness and was touched by him.
Greatly taken aback, Gu Junling stared at Zhou Tianyu blankly and asked, “What… what did you say?”
Did I hear wrongly?
Am I hallucinating?
Seeing his dumbfoundedness, Zhou Tianyu burst into laughter and said, “I said I was willing to get intimate with you last night. Gu Junling, I love you and I want to be with you. I can’t bear to let go of you at all.”
She didn’t want to hurt Gu Junling anymore and she would be harming him even further if she were to insist on leaving. She couldn’t do without him either and felt that there would be no point in living without him. In that case, what was the point in her leaving?
She decided to face everything with Gu Junling, regardless of what happened.
Gu Junling was bewildered and shocked and speechless, feeling as if he was in a dream. “Are… are you serious? You’re not lying to me, right? I’m not dreaming, am I?”
Tianyu actually said that she loves me and wants to be together with me. She even said that she can’t let me go. I guess I must be dreaming. This isn’t real. But… if it’s a dream, I’d rather not wake up at all.
Zhou Tianyu burst into laughter again. For the first time, she discovered that Gu Junling was actually really adorable. She pinched his arm.
Gu Junling winced in pain.
“Does it hurt?” Zhou Tianyu asked with joy and tears in her eyes.
Gu Junling hurriedly said, “It doesn’t hurt, not at all!”
Even if it hurt greatly, he wouldn’t admit it.
Zhou Tianyu pinched him again and asked, “So it doesn’t hurt at all?”
He wailed so loudly and yet he said it doesn’t hurt. He’s just asking for it.
Gu Junling began to shriek loudly. “Ah… it hurts, be gentler…”
He agreed with the old saying of women being the most vicious. For some reason, he felt extremely comfortable and thrilled whenever Zhou Tianyu pinched him.
He suspected if he was into masochism.
Zhou Tianyu asked tearfully, “Does it feel real now? Do you still feel like you’re dreaming?”
Gu Junling was stunned beyond words.
