[R18] Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu – “Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu” Chapter 72 [English]

I’m afraid you’ll cry

In the remaining days of program recording, the sweet model worker only had a forced smile on her face. She couldn’t catch up with the host’s routines. Chen Youan was always there for her, and as soon as she turned around, she asked, “What’s going on?”

It’s okay that no one asked. When she asked, Gu Kou was stunned, her big eyes were full of confusion, and she whispered: “I’m really fine.”

It was early in the morning when she rushed back to T City. She didn’t dare to go directly to Gu Zhengze who was recovering from his injuries. She squatted in the small apartment until morning. Instead, Gu Zhengze called her and said, “You’re back?”

Gu Kou then went to the Gu family’s old house, and after waiting for a long time, he finally bought a bouquet of flowers.When Gu Zhengze saw it, he couldn’t even laugh or cry, “You want to buy flowers when you go home?”

Aunt Kong took the flowers, pushed Gu Kou in, and whispered, “Why is the madam so afraid of the sir?”

Gu Kou didn’t know why he was afraid. He was just afraid, mixed with fear, regret and sadness.Gu Zhengze looked pale, but otherwise showed no signs of injury. He crossed his legs and read the email. He called Gu Kou over with his hand, pinched her face, looked at it, and commented, “She’s lost weight.” He gave her an apple, and he picked up the phone to talk about things.

Gu Kou didn’t care what he did. He just sat by his bed for a while, waited for him to hang up the phone, and then asked him: “Where is the injury?”

Gu Zhengze frowned, “Don’t worry about it.”

he Gu Kou also knew that the injury was on the left shoulder, the location was dangerous, and he had a narrow escape.But he didn’t let her worry, so Gu Kou didn’t ask. Anyway, it had happened. She put everything else behind her and remembered the hard thing on the back of his waist that day, so she went to turn over him.Gu Zhengze said, “What are you doing?” Gu Kou had already touched it from under the pillow. It was just as she imagined, hard and cold, and it was a gun.

He might just be carrying it for self-defense, or he might just be used to carrying it, but when Gu Kou touched the gun, he could tell that the real gun was completely different from the props in the crew.She quickly retracted her hand as if she had been burned by fire.

The nurse was downstairs, coming up every few dozen minutes to check on her. Gu Zhengze was busier than the nurse, with constant phone calls and emails, so Gu Kou obviously didn’t need to worry about it.She simply went downstairs to help Aunt Kong cook. She cut the vegetables and ingredients in an orderly manner. Aunt Kong smiled and said, “Madam, you are very brave. That’s what you have to do. No matter what happens, you have to be steady.”

Gu Kou lowered his head to mix the sauce and smiled calmly, “It was nothing at first.”

Probably because Gu Zhengze went to great lengths to hide it from her, everyone saw Gu Kou and stood guard, but Gu Kou was talking and laughing as if nothing had happened.Gu Boyan came back for dinner, and Gu Kou proudly introduced him, “I cooked all these dishes.”

Gu Boyan glanced at it and saw that there were squid, clams, and tom yum gong, all looking decent.He said: “My brother can’t eat these, are they made for me?”

Gu Kou smiled and said, “He has a special meal for the sick, and I made it too.”

Gu Boyan went over to take a look at Gu Zhengze’s luxurious pork porridge, then stretched out his paw to test, “Brother, can I try it?”

Gu Zhengze was so generous that he really let him have a taste.

The taste of the porridge came second. Gu Boyan was a little surprised by Gu Kou’s attitude. After eating, he winked at Gu Kou and said, “Hero, I think you have a good psychological quality. Can you watch a horror movie with me?”

Horror films are divided into Eastern and Western regions. Asian films are good at disgusting films, European films are good at spooky films, and North American films are good at attacking people’s psychological defenses.What Gu Boyan brought back today was a horror film co-produced by three continents. It was disgusting, weird, and shocking to people’s psychological defenses. Gu Boyan has been afraid of horror films since he was a child. When he encountered this kind of horror film, he was so scared that he collapsed. He shook into a ball on the sofa, pinched his hands and screamed: “Aren’t you scared?! Are you a pervert?!”

Gu Kou didn’t react at all. He pulled He’s hand from his wrist ruthlessly, “If you want to pinch, pinch yourself.”

She went out to pour juice. Gu Boyan didn’t dare to watch alone, so he pressed pause and followed her out.The nurse had just changed Gu Zhengze’s medicine, took the gauze bandage away with her, nodded to Gu Kou, put the bloody things into a medical garbage bag, and then went to the bathroom to wash her hands. The sound of running water echoed on the empty first floor.

Gu Boyan saw Gu Kou standing there for a long time, then she suddenly put down the cup and walked quickly to the balcony.There was no one on the balcony, and she didn’t turn on the lights. She stayed outside for a long time in silence.

Gu Boyan had been short-minded for most of his life, and now he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable – as if this family had bullied Gu Kou.

He ran upstairs and knocked on the door, “Brother, brother, brother, can I come in?”

Gu Zhengze was reviewing the report while wearing glasses, “Get out.”

He said: “Okay, then I’m leaving. I just came up to tell you that our little wife seems to be crying.”

Gu Zhengze’s fingers on the keyboard paused, and he still ordered him not to do the same thing: “Call me sister-in-law.”

This morning, Assistant Liu reported to him: “Mr. Gu, don’t worry, my wife didn’t cry.” He was not very surprised. Gu Kou was young, had a lot of experience, and was not a fragile girl. In his impression, except when filming, Gu Kou never cried a few times.Besides, it’s not a big deal, so there’s nothing to worry her about.

He put on his clothes and went downstairs to find someone.The balcony was dark, and the jasmine flowers raised by Aunt Kong were blooming faintly. The bouquet of blue water lilies she bought also stood in the vase, and the fragrance was fragrant.Gu Kou squatted on the ground, and he also squatted down. Not knowing what to do, he pinched her ears first and said, “Let me take a look.”

Gu Kou buried his head in his arms and shook his head vaguely. He didn’t answer, but his back rose and fell, and a faint whimper came out from the gap.Gu Zhengze felt a numbness in his chest, “Gu Kou.”

He wanted to say that she was crying so much that he couldn’t bear it. He wanted to say that he didn’t understand why she was crying, but he couldn’t say a word.He understands complex numbers and formulas, and the intricate forces and land parcels, but Gu Kou is a little creature that is too delicate and sensitive for him, and sometimes it is beyond his understanding.

She was sobbing so hard that she couldn’t breathe. He reached out to rub her back and softly said in a soft voice, “Okay, don’t cry anymore, okay?”

Gu Kou also wanted to stop crying, but couldn’t stop.The more he touched her, the more tears flowed. Fortunately, Gu Boyan came in and took a peek, “Sister-in-law, are you really crying? I wasn’t the one who scared you, right?”

Gu Kou felt that he was very funny, wiped his eyes, stood up and avoided he’s sight, and said in a hoarse voice: “I’m going out for a walk.”

Gu Zhengze went to get her coat.Gu Boyan wanted to say something, but when he saw Brother He’s face, he immediately fell silent.

The old house is in a secluded area in the city center. You can’t see much excitement all the way out.Gu Kou covered her face and walked quickly until Gu Zhengze said from behind: “Slow down.” She slowed down. After all, she was worried about his injury and looked back.

Gu Zhengze’s face was pale, and he strode over to hold her hand. His breathing was a little rapid, and he exhaled a white breath, “Why are you walking so fast? Don’t run around.”

Gu Kou didn’t know where the anger came from, but he pushed back directly, “Don’t you have a gun? What are you afraid of?”

Gu Zhengze held her little cool hand and looked at her condescendingly.Gu Kou didn’t want to see He’s eyes, so he lowered his head and tried to break away from He, but He was very strong and grabbed her and said bluntly: “I’m afraid you’ll cry.”

The last time he came back from South Africa, Assistant Liu told him that Gu Kou cried loudly on the rooftop of Queyuan. When he later saw Gu Kou who had a fever, the organ in his chest felt like it was being tightly grasped and pulled hard.When Gu Kou cried, he had no idea at all.

Gu Kou fell silent for a moment.Tears were still flowing, and she didn’t know what was wrong with her. When Gu Zhengze said this, she became completely soft-hearted again.Due to a large amount of blood loss, he’s body temperature was very low. Gu Kou didn’t know whether he was cold or not, so he stood on tiptoes and silently wrapped his scarf around his neck.After going around for the last time, Gu Zhengze grabbed her wrist and said, “Is it because of the gun?”

Gu Kou couldn’t help but feel chills in his heart when he thought of that gun.She couldn’t help but think about the worst, wondering whether he might step into the same quagmire as Gu Duanjing at any time.She also felt that her thoughts were extreme. She knew that she could not share the difficulties, but Gu Zhengze might not know that.If he doesn’t tell her anything, what does he think of her?

She whispered: “I’m not afraid of guns… I’m afraid you will treat me as an outsider. You won’t tell me anything.”

This time it was Gu Zhengze’s turn to be speechless.Gu Kou couldn’t wait for he to answer, her eyes were sore, and the grievances she had never experienced in her life seemed to be boiling today. Regardless of her hand being held by he, she lowered her head and continued walking forward, “Forget it, let’s go…”

As soon as her arms tightened, she was pulled back by Gu Zhengze, held in his arms and gently rubbed her trembling back a few times. He said on top of her head, “I’m sorry.”

There was a subtle mixed smell of tobacco, disinfectant and blood in He’s arms. Gu Kou felt uncomfortable smelling it. Remembering that she had never seen He’s wounds until now, her tears kept falling down. She cried and trembled in He’s arms, “…What, what are you saying, are you sorry?”

Gu Zhengze kissed the top of her hair, “You are not an outsider. You are my wife.”

Gu Kou never noticed that he often kissed her randomly on her hair, face, and ears like this.She has never had any other boyfriends, and she has filmed many scenes like this in the movie, so she has always thought it was very normal. Now she is self-taught and feels sad, and realizes the importance of this action.She suddenly felt that she was a bit unreasonable today, so she cursed herself in her heart: Gu Kou, you are an idiot.
