Chapter 26: Xuanmu San
It was Gu Chen who sent me back to the Gu's house at that time. If he hadn't appeared then, I might have been buried in the snow and fallen asleep forever.
I don't thank Gu Chen because he didn't stand up for me when those girls were hitting me, he just silently stood by and watched as I struggled to survive, coldly observing.
I remember Gu Chen saying at that time, "Sister, I'll fulfill your wish when you're 19 years old. At that time, I will be exactly 18 years old."
If it weren't for Gu Chen mentioning it, I think I would have probably forgotten by now, although it's not a very distant memory.
"You're already eighteen years old now." Suddenly recalling these things, I felt infinite emotion.
Gu Chen replied in a low voice and then asked: "Do you still remember what I said to you back then?"
"Which sentence are you referring to?"
"In a world where no one can rely on you, you must try to make yourself strong." Gu Chen said, stopping the car and turning his head to look at me seriously, "Do you still remember what I told you not to forget?"
I dryly laughed, "Remember, of course I remember." Although it wasn't quite clear, I indeed remembered.
"You remember, but you don't understand." Gu Chen put on his sunglasses, and I couldn't see the expression in his eyes. He looked out of the car window at a distant point outside, seemingly lost in thought.
Such a quiet and unfamiliar place.
Half a moment later, he opened the car door and his tone became slightly lighter. "Get out of the car, we've arrived. I'll take you to fulfill our 18-year-old wish."
I'll take you to fulfill our dreams.
My heart skipped a beat as I looked at Gu Chen standing shoulder to shoulder with me.
When did Gu Chen grow so tall? He's actually half a head taller than me now. And when did I start getting along with Gu Chen like this?
It's just like that, natural yet inexplicable.
The amusement park was already crowded in the early morning. My friend and I rushed to the merry-go-round, frowning at the long queue.
I thought Gu Chen's temperament would definitely cover the entire playground, but I didn't expect him to be able to tolerate so many people, complaining and lining up like an ordinary family child.
But in fact, we were not ordinary children. Gu Chen was the big brother of the Gu family's underworld, a man who could almost control the wind and rain on the dark road, his name alone could make many people tremble with fear, yet at this moment he was quietly lining up in this small amusement park, just to ride the merry-go-round once, our 18-year-old dream.
Suddenly I felt that the distance between me and Gu Chen had narrowed a bit.
"It looks like we still have a long queue ahead of us." Gu Chen stood behind me and whispered in my ear, "How about it? Want to go play something else first? We're already here anyway."
"I have severe acrophobia and can't play anything else." I looked at the roller coaster where screams were coming from and couldn't help but feel a chill.
Anyway, this life I come to the playground can only sit on the merry-go-round, I'm afraid of heights but it's famous.
"It doesn't matter." Gu Chen said lazily: "Anyway, you're accompanying me today, whether you have fun or not is irrelevant."
I'm so embarrassed, I almost forgot that I agreed to spend the day with Gu Chen in order to get him to let go of Fang Chaoyang's sister.
Careless me didn't notice that at the time, Gu Chen would put Fang Mingyue down, just for today's merry-go-round, because he had no confidence and was afraid I would refuse, so he deliberately let Fang Chaoyang come to find me.
It was all just for that snowy night's promise he made to me. Because he said, when he turns eighteen, he'll take me to fulfill our eighteen-year-old wishes.
