In the third year after marrying into the Gu family, Shen Qingwu figured out three things.
First, Gu Yanzhou didn't have someone in his heart, he had no one in his heart. Secondly, he remembered that Lin Weiwei asked for three cubes of ice when drinking coffee - no, he couldn't remember that she didn't like coriander, but he remembered that the bookstore in the south of the city stocked Newspapers on the fifth day of every month. Third, she has been waiting for a flower to bloom for three years, but the flower hasn't bloomed yet, and she doesn't want to wait anymore.
It rained a little that morning, and the begonias had dense buds. She stood on the porch and watched for a while, then turned to Gu Yanzhou and said, I want to go back to my parents' house to stay for two days. Gu Yanzhou said yes.
She said no need for a car, I would go by myself. He said go ahead.
The tone was flat. It was as peaceful as when she said "I'm leaving".
On the third night after returning to her parents' home, she sat in the yard and watched the moon. There was a knock on the door. Gu Yanzhou stood outside the door, his sleeves rolled up to his forearms, a few strands of hair scattered, looking a little tired. He said Qingwu, I will take you back.
She held on to the door frame and said, I don't want to go back.
The locust tree in the yard rang. The wind blew a leaf onto the threshold.
He said, when will you come back?
She said, wait until I finish the painting.
The painting is not finished yet. What I drew is the crabapple that bloomed best last year. She painted all day long. The wind blew the petals onto the paper, and she painted with the color of the petals.
Gu Yanzhou had never seen that painting.
Concept: The third young lady of the Gu family who is not seen VS the young master of the aristocratic family who only realizes it later when his heart is empty.
