Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Unease in Her Heart
After coming out, Gu Tiantian saw Aunt Huang cleaning the yard.
Seeing her coming out, Aunt Huang looked up and smiled at her.
"Tian Tian, just leave the clothes on the chair at the door. I’ll wash them for you later."
Gu Tiantian quickly shook her head to refuse.
"No need, Aunt Huang. I’ll take a nap first, and I’ll wash them myself when I get up."
Aunt Huang knew Gu Tiantian was shy, so she didn’t say more.
"Alright, alright, then go and have a rest!"
Gu Tiantian nodded with a smile, took the clothes, and entered the room she had been in before.
She placed the clothes she had changed out of on the chair beside her, closed the door, and, feeling very sleepy, lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
This nap lasted quite a while, from a bit past four in the afternoon to ten at night. If she hadn’t heard the hushed conversation outside, she might still be in her dreams.
"She took a shower and fell asleep; she must have been exhausted."
"Yes, when I saw her in the county, I saw she was just a young girl and seemed very tired, which is why I offered her a ride."
"Oh, go wash up. You smell all sweaty!"
"Alright, alright, no need to rush. It’s not like I’m going to hug you right now!"
"You shameless old man!"
"Okay, I’m going to take a shower!"
"Go, go. I’ll check on the food. Tian Tian slept for so long; if she wakes up hungry during the night, she can have some hot food."
...
Inside the room, Gu Tiantian listened to the conversation between Aunt Huang and the driver uncle, her cheeks turned slightly red.
Hearing Aunt Huang’s last sentence filled her heart with a warm tingling sensation.
Considering the way Uncle and Aunt Huang interacted, along with the gentle kindness in Aunt Huang’s eyes, she thought this family must be very happy.
As for the family conditions... Gu Tiantian glanced around the slightly simple room and looked at the various awards on the walls, and smiled softly.
Though life was a bit tough, the couple worked hard together, and their studious and motivated children made for a very enviable little family.
She had previously imagined her future days — after paying off her uncle’s debts, if she met someone gentle and caring, the two of them would fall in love, and eventually, they would marry and have children. Money wouldn’t matter much; living an everyday life with daily necessities, supporting each other, simply and plainly, with a couple of cute kids. How blissful life would be.
But such days became unattainable dreams after encountering Bai Chenyao.
Realizing she had thought of Bai Chenyao once more, Gu Tiantian felt a surge of unease within her heart.
She rolled over and got out of bed, took her phone out of her backpack, and seeing it was still off, she exhaled in relief.
In the past week, she dared not stay in any place for too long, hardly arriving somewhere before her first reaction was to observe various cameras around streets and corners.
As for her attire, it was definitely not the usual Gu Tiantian people would recognize.
Sometimes, she was a trendy young girl with dyed short yellow hair; other times, she was an artistic young woman with big black frames and a linen dress, and sometimes, she embraced a punk street style...
All these clothes were bought for a dozen or twenty yuan at nighttime stalls, worn once, then thrown away.
Under normal circumstances, she would have been reluctant; even twenty yuan was still money.
Yet lately, running away, she absolutely couldn’t risk being caught, so she was extremely cautious. The clothes that were never her style, after being worn once, she’d discard immediately, fearing being tracked, as it’d spell disaster.
