Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Going Home
After coming back from the hospital, Gu Tiantian stayed at Bai Chenyao’s new place for two days.
On the third day, after Bai Chenyao came back from work, she expressed her desire to go home and sort out her grandmother’s belongings, and Bai Chenyao, without a word, took her out to go home.
Her grandmother was gone, but that was their home.
On the way back, Bai Chenyao said only one sentence.
"No crying, or there’s no future!"
Thinking of her grandmother made Gu Tiantian’s mood suddenly heavy and sad, but because of Bai Chenyao’s words, she abruptly looked up at him.
If it weren’t for their recent interactions, if she hadn’t noticed his subtle tenderness in the little things, Gu Tiantian would have certainly thought that Bai Chenyao was domineering, selfish, and cold-hearted.
But now...
His words were indeed domineering and cold, and his voice was icy and provoking.
But she knew his intentions were good.
Crying does not solve any problems, even if she cried her eyes out, her grandmother would never come back to life.
Suppressing the sourness in her eyes, Gu Tiantian’s voice was a bit muffled.
"I won’t, I’ve already accepted this fact."
Besides acceptance, there is no other way.
The car quickly stopped at the old residential building, and after getting out, Gu Tiantian didn’t rush upstairs, but stood by the car, looking up at the balcony on the fifth floor.
There were two pairs of old cloth shoes drying on the balcony, her grandmother’s favorite, but they had faded from many years of washing.
Though it was not clear to see, Gu Tiantian felt her vision was exceptionally sharp at the moment.
"How long are you going to stand there?"
Bai Chenyao’s deep voice sounded in her ear, and Gu Tiantian was startled, then turned to look at him.
Because he was much taller than her, Gu Tiantian had to tilt her head up to meet his dark and deep eyes.
"A Yao, I..."
Before she could finish, her words were coldly interrupted by Bai Chenyao.
"Impossible!"
Gu Tiantian was somewhat annoyed, he interrupted her without letting her finish, could he know what she was about to say?
Bai Chenyao looked at the thoughts almost written across Gu Tiantian’s face, squinted his eyes, his voice still cold, but without the earlier chill.
"I said, I want you for a lifetime!"
Gu Tiantian stared at him with a conflicted expression for a while, finally defeated under Bai Chenyao’s dark and deep, endless gaze.
Watching Bai Chenyao turn and head toward the stairway, Gu Tiantian quickly followed.
As she walked, she secretly wondered just how long Bai Chenyao’s so-called lifetime could last.
It wasn’t that she doubted Bai Chenyao’s words, but... the world is too real.
Yet deep down, there was a trace of... indescribable happiness.
Gu Tiantian felt like she was getting sick again.
Moreover, when she saw Bai Chenyao helping her organize her grandmother’s belongings, she found herself staring blankly at his profile, her condition seemingly worsening.
Gu Tiantian quickly averted her gaze, focusing intently on sorting her grandmother’s belongings.
Upon seeing a photo album where her grandmother was hugging her at ten years old, Gu Tiantian’s eyes reddened again.
However, she gritted her teeth and didn’t cry.
Gently touching the photo of her grandmother, Gu Tiantian recalled the last time she saw her.
Back then, her grandmother kept serving food to Bai Chenyao, looking at him with gentle affection, as if looking at family.
She didn’t know why her grandmother was so fond of Bai Chenyao, and the answer to this question, with her grandmother’s passing, probably became an unsolvable riddle.
