On the way home.

  The car wasn't going very fast, Shang Yu suddenly wanted to open the window, but then seemed to remember something and stopped.

  Gu Xiyan had her seatbelt fastened, and she was trying to shrink herself towards the car door as much as possible, as if that would put more distance between her and the dangerous man in the driver's seat. Tonight's events were beyond her expectations, and with her arms tightly wrapped around herself, her frightened eyes occasionally darted towards the man in the driver's seat.

  Neither of them spoke, and the man's heavy breathing grew louder.

  The car just turned onto the highway in front of the residence and stopped, Shang Xi's hands grasping the steering wheel were extremely tense, with white palms.

  Gu Xiyan looked at Shang Yue with a timid expression, but didn't know what to say.

  Shang Yi Qi turned his body, and with just one glance, he discovered Gu Xi Yan's trembling. Unknowingly using great willpower to hold back his impulses, Shang Yi Qi's low and suppressed voice echoed in the car: "Xi Yan, we're very close to home now, be good, you walk back yourself."

  As he spoke, Shang Xi stretched out his hand as if to comfort Gu Xiu Yan, but was dodged by Gu Xiu Yan.

  "Goodbye, Xiǎo Yán." Shāng Yìqǐ no longer looked at her.

  Gu Xiyan quickly tidied up her clothes and then opened the car door to get out. The road was very dark, Gu Xiyan couldn't see anything at all.

  After walking for about five or six minutes, Gu Xiyan suddenly remembered the abnormalities of tonight, her feet paused, and she looked back with concern.

  Shang Yiqi's car was still barely within her line of sight, and although she was afraid in her heart, she was also worried that Shang Yiqi might get into trouble. Standing alone in the darkness for a long time, she thought about how much care the man had shown her over the past five years, and her emotions became inexplicably complicated.

  Apart from that person, he is the second one who treats himself so well! He picked her up when she was at her lowest, and without hesitation gave her a small world of her own, allowing her to bury her pain and lay to rest that unfulfilled love affair.

  The cold wind blew her small hands icy and numb, she rubbed them together, looking at the car that still hadn't moved.

  The night is getting darker and quieter!

  Gu Xiyan calmed down the turmoil in her heart and suddenly started sprinting.

  Before long, Gu Xiyan had arrived at the driver's side of the car. Through the window, she could clearly see the figure inside who was struggling in agony.

  She unconsciously took two steps back, and Gu Xiyan didn't know what to do. She reached into her windbreaker to make a call, only to find that her phone had fallen out at some point.

  It's hard to make a choice! She knew what it meant if she got into the car. Yes, even if she was slow-witted, she would have understood by now that her nominal husband had been drugged.

  But she doesn't love him! How can people who don't love each other do that kind of thing?

  In a flash, a bright and handsome figure appeared in her mind. That figure was once her warm haven, the lover she thought would be with her forever. But he had dealt her a fatal blow when she loved him wholeheartedly!

  Ha! Even laughter is bitter.

  She put her hand on the car door, a flicker of hesitation flashed across her eyes, and in an instant, the door opened.

  After locking the car door, she took a deep breath and reached out with her cool hand to touch the man's face.

  One cold and one hot, what a sharp contrast.

  The man was extremely infatuated with this coolness, and his mind cleared for a moment. He opened his eyes to see Gu Xiyan leaning against him, and he immediately pulled her into his arms. Gently biting her earlobe like jade, his magnetic low voice whispered: "Xiyan, you shouldn't have come back."

  Gu Xiyan felt that he was very distressed, without saying much, she took the initiative to stick her lips on his.

  One arrow cannot be retrieved.

  ……

  When she woke up, memories flooded in, and for several hours, they were speechless, with Gu Xiyan silent.

  It was her own will, but she still couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in her heart. But it was just a sense of loss, without any regret.

  Having made a choice, she would never regret it, she had always been... so decisive and neat, hadn't she?

  The door was gently pushed open.

  His large palm gently stroked Gu Xiyuan's absolutely beautiful and delicate little face, and a faint tenderness appeared on Shang Yueqi's cold face.

  "What a pity, I bought congee, your favorite Chen Ji's preserved egg and lean pork congee." Shang Yi Qi said.

  "Thank you." Gu Xiyan thought for a long time and could only squeeze out these two words.

  "Pity, have you woken up yet, or are you going to sleep a bit longer?"

  "Sleep for a while." In fact, she didn't know how to face him.

  "Uh-huh, I'll keep the porridge warm for now, you sleep. After tucking her in, the man hesitated and went out."

  Now they truly have both fame and wealth.

  Gu Xiyan looked at the empty room in front of her and suddenly thought of a phrase - meticulous.

  It's a bit strange to describe a room with such words, but this is indeed the feeling that this room gives her.

  Not bad, this room is his, not hers.

  It may be psychological, but Gu Xiyan even felt that the quilt she covered had the breath of that man. In the envelopment of that breath, she slowly closed her beautiful eyes.

  ==

  It's been more than a year since then, and after Gu Xiyan thought about it again, she had unknowingly wasted her lunch break. By the time she felt drowsy, her roommates were all up.

  The training task in the afternoon was not heavy, with a 5-kilometer run and training for regular and coordinated steps. After completing the first task, Deng Qing called out to Gu Xiyan.

  The first time Gu Xiyan entered the new recruit office of the Special Police Force, she felt a little nervous.

  "Don't be nervous, Xiyan. I called you over to ask if you're willing to join the special police force and become a real soldier." Deng Qing gestured for Gu Xiyan to sit down, speaking in a serious tone.

  Deng Qing's question made Gu Xiyan feel a little pampered, but thinking of her original intention for coming here, Gu Xiyan shook her head: "Officer, thank you for your appreciation, but I'm just here to train with the troops for a while and can't stay long."

  "You can take your time and think carefully before answering me." Deng Qing didn't expect Gu Xiyan to be so direct.

  "Officer, I'm sorry." Gu Xiyan declined rationally. She was clear about her own personality and could tolerate staying in the army for a while. But if she had to live this kind of organized and disciplined life all the time, it would be difficult for her to accept. Besides, Shang Qikai had gone to the army, and if she also stayed in the army, wouldn't that mean letting Yan'er stay with her grandparents forever?

  "Xian, are you sure? Such an opportunity isn't available to everyone." Deng Qing said with a hint of regret.

  "Instructor, I've thought it through clearly." Her eyes didn't back down as she looked at Deng Qing, and she naturally saw the regret in his eyes.

  Deng Qing saw that Gu Xiyan's intention was so clear, and it wasn't good to persuade her anymore. She let out a light sigh and said: "Xiyan, since you're not willing, I won't force you either. However, in the subsequent training process, I still hope you can demand yourself like a qualified soldier, and see things through from start to finish."

  "Instructor, I guarantee to complete the task with quality and quantity." Gu Xiyan stood up straight, solemnly promising.

  "Go." With a wave of her hand, Gu Xiyan left. After Gu Xiyan walked away, Deng Qing first smiled to herself, then let out a sigh.
