Xu Jialu guessed what she was going to say. With a smile in his eyes, he finished what she didn’t say.
“They misunderstood that we are husband and wife.”
“Who’s your husband?” Su lanxu retorted softly, ” hurry up and delete the photos. &Quot;
“I won’t.” Xu Jialu’s voice was firm. &Quot; even if you don’t get married in this life, I’ll just take this photo as if you’ve married me. &Quot;
Su lanxu raised her head and glanced at him. &Quot; who’s married to you? ”
“I said it’s in my heart. I didn’t say you’re really married to me.” Xu Jialu’s eyelids twitched. &Quot; or do you actually have a little bit of heart to marry me? ”
&Quot; I didn’t. You’re talking nonsense. Don’t flatter yourself. &Quot;
Su lanxu answered without thinking. She lifted her dress and went to the changing room to change out of her wedding dress.
Seeing her leave, Xu Jialu heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this topic had passed. Otherwise, she would have kept pestering him to delete the photos.
She looked down at the photo on her phone again, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
……
Xu Jialu had heard that father su wanted to take photos, so he came to pick them up.
After taking the photos, father su didn’t want to go back to the hospital. He wanted to go home.
Su lanxu and mother su hesitated for a while, but in the end, they decided to bring him home for a night. Mother su even wanted to cook personally and treat Xu Jialu to dinner.
&Quot; no, ” Xu Jialu politely refused and stayed for dinner.
The helper and mother su went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Father su was tired from taking photos for the whole day, so he went back to his room to rest and let su lanxu take good care of Xu Jialu.
Su lanxu poured him a glass of water. &Quot; I still have to thank you for today. &Quot;
Otherwise, his parents would have to wait for him to call a taxi after they were done taking photos.
“You don’t have to be so polite with me.” &Quot; don’t you want to drive? ” Xu Jialu replied, and then he immediately said, ” you’re not going to drive? ”
Su lanxu let out an “ah” and bit her lip.
The previous car accident had left a psychological shadow on her, and she had not dared to drive. When her mother asked, she only said that there was a problem with the car and that she had not had time to send it for repair.
“With your dad’s condition, you and Auntie have to run around. Isn’t it troublesome to take a taxi every time?”
Xu Jialu looked up at her. &Quot; although I’d love to be your driver, you probably don’t want to see me so often. &Quot;
Su lanxu hesitated for a while and said softly,”I know that there’s nothing to be afraid of when driving, but I just can’t get over the psychological barrier.”
That night, on the dark road, she was hit by someone and then hit the guardrail on the side of the road. Fang Yi’s cold attitude made her feel afraid and she didn’t want to recall it.
He didn’t even want to touch the steering wheel.
“Do you need my help?” Xu Jialu asked.
Su lanxu looked up at him and didn’t say anything.
Xu Jialu put down the cup in his hand and got up. &Quot; “Let’s go, I’ll go out with you.”
Su lanxu was stunned on her seat for a few seconds, then she got up and followed him.
Xu Jialu handed her his car keys. &Quot; you drive. I’ll be by your side, so you don’t have to be afraid. &Quot;
Su lanxu looked at the SUV’s car key in her hand and felt uneasy. &Quot; you really want me to drive your car? What if we bump into them …”
Without waiting for her to finish, Xu Jialu said in a nonchalant tone, ” &Quot; it’s fine if you hit me. I have insurance. You don’t have to pay for it! &Quot;
Su lanxu was speechless.
Was this the main point?
“Get in the car, what’s there to be afraid of? I’m here.” Xu Jialu opened the car door and stuffed her directly into the driver’s seat, then thoughtfully fastened the seat belt for her.
Then, he sat in the front passenger seat and looked at her. &Quot; come on, I’m ready. &Quot;
Su lanxu took a deep breath, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open. &Quot; then I’ll really open it. &Quot;
Xu Jialu nodded.
Su lanxu started the car and stepped on the gas. The car started moving slowly.
Xu Jialu turned his head and looked at her, who was so nervous that her forehead was oozing with fine sweat. His lips curved up slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
Su lanxu gripped the steering wheel so tightly that the veins on her hands were protruding. The scene from that night kept flashing in her mind, along with that cold voice …
There was a moment of ringing and dizziness, but he quickly calmed down.
Because Xu Jialu’s big warm palm covered her hand, and his voice was low and hoarse with a hint of laughter. &Quot; it’s quite good. &Quot;
Su lanxu tilted her head and looked at him, then at the road ahead. Suddenly, the heavy stone that was pressing down on her heart seemed to have been lifted, and she was suddenly enlightened.
Although there were many cars on the road, she was not as afraid as she had imagined. The sunset shrouded the entire city, and the scenery along the way was unprecedentedly charming.
The car window rolled down, and the evening wind blew on her face, curling her hair. Even her hair seemed to be cheerful.
Su lanxu took in a deep breath, and her tense expression gradually relaxed. She turned around and smiled at Xu Jialu, showing faint dimples at the corner of her mouth.
Xu Jialu looked at her smile, and his eyes became gentler, even gentler than the sunset.
Su lanxu stopped the car by the lake and got out of the car to stretch her limbs. She let out a long sigh and said,”So it’s not that scary to face the fear in your heart!”
Xu Jialu got out of the car with her and stopped beside her. He put his hands in his pockets and praised her for the first time, ” you’re brave enough. &Quot;
Su lanxu met his emotional gaze and turned to look at the sparkling surface of the lake. &Quot; no matter what, I still have to thank you. I’m really grateful! &Quot;
“You still owe me a meal. How many meals are you planning to buy me?”
Su lanxu shrugged helplessly. &Quot; what do you want then? ”
&Quot; I want to … &Quot; Xu Jialu deliberately dragged out his words. When she was confused and uneasy, he grabbed her arm and directly pulled her into his arms.
Su lanxu was stunned. She could smell the faint smell of herbs on him and wanted to push him away.
Xu Jialu’s slender arms were like steel bars as he hugged her tightly. When he lowered his head, his lips were almost in her ear as he muttered.
“Don’t move, I just want to hug you for a while.”
Su lanxu stopped and wanted to push him away. She felt that this was not good, but she also felt that his request was not too much. If she could not even do this, it would be a little unreasonable.
&Quot; susu, don’t be afraid … &Quot; Xu Jialu’s warm palm held the back of her head and said in a low voice, ” “No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. As long as you need it, I’ll be there at 3 am. If you want to cry, my arms are always ready for you. You don’t have to be strong or brave with me. ”
Su lanxu’s heart felt like it had been pinched hard. It was sore, painful, and even a little numb.
If it was in the past, she would have been extremely touched to hear Xu Jialu say such words, but now …
Although she was leaning in his arms, she did not release all her emotions, the weakness, sadness, and powerlessness.
When he spoke, his voice could even be said to be extremely calm.
