Chapter 43

Gu Qijiao often went to the barren mountain where the Corps was located when she was a child. Because she often did not have enough food to eat when she was young, her grandmother would take her to the distant barren mountain to pick mushrooms.

This road was easy to walk on when I was young, but now because fewer people walk on it, it is covered with moss.

If you don’t use the branches nearby to climb a mountain, you will not be able to move forward at all.

Several times, Gu Qijiao almost fell down.

She originally thought that ten miles was not far, but she was exhausted and out of breath not long after climbing to the top of the mountain.

Gu Qijiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and panted heavily on the top of the mountain, her face flushed due to the heat.

“I can’t walk any more. Sit down under a tree and rest for a while before walking again.”

As she spoke, Gu Qijiao had already picked a few grasses and put them on the ground, then sat down.

Zheng Yunsheng stood beside her and watched her.

After resting for a while, Gu Qijiao got up and continued on her way.

While going downhill, she stepped on a piece of moss and her feet slipped suddenly.

There was a sharp stone not far from her feet. If she fell on the stone, she would definitely get hurt.

Zheng Yunsheng, who had been following Gu Qijiao closely, almost jumped out of his chest when he saw this. He reached out and grabbed Gu Qijiao.

With this pull, Gu Qijiao was pulled back, but Zheng Yunsheng lost his balance and fell in the direction where Gu Qijiao almost slipped.

His back hit the protruding stone hard.

At the moment the pain came, Zheng Yunsheng thought to himself that it was fortunate that the person who fell was not her.

The intense stinging sensation made Zheng Yunsheng gasp involuntarily, but he smiled and spoke in a gentle voice like a spring breeze:

“Look, it’s a good thing I came with you.” He looked at Gu Qijiao eagerly, like a good child who had done good things and was waiting for the teacher to give him a red flower.

Gu Qijiao couldn’t help but tremble in her heart.

She looked at Zheng Yunsheng blankly, then immediately suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and said with a cold expression:

“Get up quickly!”

Zheng Yunsheng smiled and climbed up from the ground with his hands. He hunched his back and said to Gu Qijiao:

“Come on up, I’ll carry you the rest of the way.”

“What are you doing? I’m fine. You don’t need to carry me on your back.” Although Gu Qijiao’s tone was cold, her eyes were fixed on Zheng Yunsheng’s back.

The snow-white shirt was dyed green by the moss, and traces of blood seeped out, leaving a bloodstain on the shirt.

Gu Qijiao couldn’t help but take a look at the stone that Zheng Yunsheng dropped. It was a convex object that looked very sharp.

He was injured trying to hold her back.

At this moment, Gu Qijiao couldn’t explain what she felt in her heart.

It felt sour and bitter, and I had an urge to cry, but no tears came out.

Gu Qijiao suddenly said: “You didn’t treat me well before.”

Why did it suddenly change?

Zheng Yunsheng was still standing in front of Gu Qijiao with his waist half bent, but his body stiffened visibly. He naturally understood how long ago Gu Qijiao was talking about.

Now he still didn’t have the courage to admit in front of Gu Qijiao that he was also reborn.

He knew very well how disappointed Gu Qijiao was in him in his previous life. She was so disheartened that she didn’t even want to look at him again.

Even when the ring caused her miscarriage, Gu Qijiao never asked any questions about the ring.

At that time, her eyes were so distant that it was suffocating.

So Zheng Yunsheng didn’t dare to gamble. He was afraid that Gu Qijiao would know that he was also reborn and would find a reason to leave him with a legitimate reason.

It was his fault. As she said now, he didn’t treat her well before.

At least she had never felt his kindness.

Zheng Yunsheng didn’t dare to take the risk, he could only continue to pretend to be ignorant:

“How could I have treated you badly before? We didn’t have much contact before we got married, but after I married you, I love you every day, and every day I love you more than the day before.”

Gu Qijiao narrowed her eyes, and there was an indescribable deep meaning in her eyes.

Her attempts still did not yield any useful conclusions.

Looking at Zheng Yunsheng’s still hunched back, Gu Qijiao curled the corners of her mouth in a somewhat sarcastic manner.

In her previous life, she was pregnant for more than eight months and vomited for seven months.

There was a period of severe vomiting and severe malnutrition, and Gu Qijiao’s legs were so weak that she could hardly walk.

Because it was inconvenient to go upstairs, Gu Qijiao once yelled at Zheng Yunsheng to go upstairs.

But Zheng Yunsheng rejected her without even thinking about it.

How she wanted to lie on his back and bury her head in his neck at that time!

Now it is not rare.

If Zheng Yunsheng knew that Gu Qijiao was thinking about this matter, he would definitely feel wronged. The day before Gu Qijiao asked for his back, he went to help his uncle move house and sprained his ankle.

He didn’t carry Gu Qijiao on his back because he was afraid that he would not be able to walk steadily and might cause her to fall while she was pregnant.

In fact, it is not unfair. The matter could have been explained clearly in one sentence, but you chose not to say anything and let the other party think wildly, which would create one knot after another in your heart.

Although their separation in the previous life was closely related to Bai Xiaoou’s interference, it was Zheng Yunsheng’s warm and cold personality that gave Bai Xiaoou the opportunity to take advantage of him.

Gu Qijiao, who had suffered enough in her previous life, did not want to have too much close contact with Zheng Yunsheng, nor did she want him to carry her on his back.

She asked Zheng Yunsheng to stand up.

Seeing this, Zheng Yunsheng had no choice but to follow Gu Qijiao’s wishes and straightened his back.

This time, Zheng Yunsheng walked ahead to explore the way.

“Look at my feet. You step where I step.”

While talking, Zheng Yunsheng was also testing the place to step with his feet.

Try your best to eliminate all possible risks of slipping for Gu Qijiao.

The two of them walked slowly, one in front and one behind, on the small path in the mountains and forests. Gu Qijiao would occasionally stare at the wound on Zheng Yunsheng’s back in a daze.

She really wanted to call him and ask him to take off his clothes so that she could see the wound on his back.

But when she thought about having to divorce Zheng Yunsheng in the future and keeping a distance from him now, she stopped talking abruptly.

If Zheng Yunsheng likes to follow her, he can follow her, and she has no right to control it, but she will not take the initiative to care about him.

But…Gu Qijiao noticed that every time Zheng Yunsheng walked a distance, he would shrug his back and take a breath of cold air.

It looked like the injury on his back must be causing him a lot of pain.

Or let him stop and take a look, just a look, after all, he was injured while saving her.

He was a good educated youth. If I hadn’t pounced on him, he wouldn’t be here now and in this state.

If we just ignore him, wouldn’t that be too unkind?

Gu Qijiao was really a little conflicted.

Feeling the concerned gazes from behind from time to time, Zheng Yunsheng raised his eyebrows with some satisfaction.

It didn’t hurt that much actually, he did it on purpose.

She must learn to feel sorry for him again!

After stepping on a stone pier, Zheng Yunsheng raised his head in an exaggerated manner and cried out in pain:
