Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 376 Just You and Me

The hill wasn't high, and Gu Juncheng pulled her along until they reached the top in no time.

Standing at the top, gazing into the distance, all I could see was the vast ocean, as Zhiyuan had said, boundless and endless.

"See that?" Gu Juncheng stood beside her, his hand on the back of her head, pressing her head and turning her around. "Our island is in the middle of the sea, surrounded by vast ocean water, isolated from the world."

She stood quietly without saying a word, which meant: I saw it.

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Gu Juncheng continued, "You can't open a shop, you have no job, no social life, no friends gatherings, no runway shows, no glamorous lifestyle, and you can count on one hand the number of times you can leave the island in a year."

As Lin Qingping listened, her expression gradually became serious.

Gu Juncheng looked down at her face and continued, "Only the sea, seagulls, and boundless loneliness."

Lin Qingping looked up at her.

His gaze grew increasingly serious. "Yes, it's lonely, dull, and boring. You'll be trapped here by the sea for the rest of your life."

Lin Qingping nodded.

He was stunned. "What does nodding mean?"

"Thank you for letting me know," she said casually.

Gu Juncheng was stunned again. Was that all the reaction he expected?

Although he didn't get the shock he expected from Lin Qingping, this reaction was enough for him. It meant that Lin Qingping was completely unaware of these things beforehand and had truly come with a romantic longing for the sea.

"Anything else?" Lin Qingping asked.

“No more for now.” His gaze fell on her neck and sunburnt face. “Oh, when you go back today, your neck might peel and hurt.”

Lin Qingping looked at him and sneered, "So, you knew you'd get sunburned and peel, yet you still brought me here to sunbathe. Gu Juncheng, what are you up to?"

Gu Juncheng said with a serious face, "It's just like you said, to give you a different life experience."

"Have you finished experiencing it now?" Lin Qingping stared at him with wide eyes.

"Yes." He replied, still serious and solemn.

"If I feel unwell today, is it your responsibility?" Lin Qingping pointed to her sunburnt neck and questioned.

Shifting blame was never Gu Juncheng's style, so he answered readily, "Of course!"

"Okay, Gu Juncheng, I feel terrible right now, I can't walk back..." Her legs buckled, her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Hey! Lin Qingping!" Gu Juncheng quickly caught her and hugged her tightly. Looking at her flushed face and large beads of sweat on her forehead, he suddenly realized something: Could Lin Qingping have heatstroke?

He was startled and quickly hoisted her onto his back, carrying her on his back as he hurried back.

They said they were going to walk, but as they walked, they started running.

Lin Qingping was burning up, and Gu Juncheng was carrying her on his back as if he were carrying a ball of fire. He was getting more and more anxious and wished he could fly straight to the infirmary.

On the way, he ran into Old Chen and several other comrades. They all smiled and asked the same question: "Oh, Master Gu, you dote on your wife so much!"

Old Chen, in particular, as the political commissar, emphasized, "I didn't see anything!"

Gu Juncheng had to explain to them: Comrade Lin suffered from heatstroke.

So, by evening, the story had taken another form: Mr. Gu and his wife went for a walk on the beach that evening, and Mr. Gu exhausted his wife so much that she suffered heatstroke...

When Gu Juncheng heard this version of the story the next day: ? ? ? ?

Of course, at this moment, he was only concerned with taking Lin Qingping to the infirmary.

The doctors all shook their heads. "Master Gu, I have to say something about this. Even if you want to criticize me, I have to. This is a tropical climate, and your wife is from the north and isn't used to it yet. In this kind of weather, she should be resting at home, but you..."

What else could Gu Juncheng say?

Okay, okay, it's all my fault, I know.

Lin Qingping leaned slumped against the chair in the infirmary, looking at him listlessly. He felt increasingly tormented; he had a premonition that tonight would be even harder than if she were drunk…

After getting the medicine, Lin Qingping stood up from the chair, but then slumped down like a noodle.

Despite the doctor's piercing gaze, Gu Juncheng bent down, picked up Lin Qingping, and carried her home.

It was finally sunset, and the temperature had dropped. A screen was set up in the open space of the residential area, and they were preparing to show an open-air movie.

The family members brought out stools in the open space and waited early. The children ran around, laughing and playing. Among them was Zhiyuan, who had become very close with Lei Sufang's son, Chen Lei.

Gu Juncheng appeared at this moment, carrying Lin Qingping on his back. This scene was clearly seen by all the families and children on the island.

"Master Gu really dotes on his wife!"

"This is just as exciting as a movie!"

"Hey, has your husband ever carried you on his back? No, right? I really envy Comrade Lin!"

……

Gu Juncheng forced himself to move forward amidst such discussions.

Her face turned almost purple with embarrassment!

Zhiyuan was concerned about his mother and was very worried when he saw her like this. His mother rarely let anyone carry her. Was she feeling unwell?

"Mom!" he shouted as he ran over.

As a result, Lin Qingping lay on Gu Juncheng's back and winked at him.

Okay, Zhiyuan thought he could go back to playing now, but what about the delicious food he was supposed to bring back for him? Are you kidding me again?
