Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: Don’t Be Self-Absorbed (Seventh Update)

Sun Rou didn’t speak, just looked steadily at Gu Hang, their eyes meeting, she could feel his emotions and his sincerity through his gaze.

The breeze brushed by, lifting Sun Rou’s long hair, her smile like the warmth of spring in March.

"Gu Hang," Sun Rou said word by word, "when I have time, I’ll go to Changshui Village to find you."

"Sun Rou, you mean..." Gu Hang looked at Sun Rou in disbelief, feeling that she hadn’t refused, yet it was almost unbelievable.

"Why, don’t you want me to find you?" Sun Rou raised her eyebrows, a smile playing at her lips as she looked at his silly expression, which reminded her of her brother-in-law, Zhao Xiangqian, who always looked silly when watching her sister Sun Qing.

"I do." Gu Hang nodded affirmatively.

Sun Rou said again, "Since you want that, then why wait a year?"

The smile on her lips deepened.

Gu Hang, having received her affirmative answer, was as happy as a child who had received candy. He darted forward, hugging Sun Rou and joyfully spun around, scaring Sun Rou into clinging tightly to Gu Hang’s clothes for fear of being thrown off.

"Then shall we get married now?" Gu Hang said excitedly.

Sun Rou playfully blinked and said, "Wishful thinking, you yourself said a year, so we have to wait. But we can stay together first, if you bully me, I definitely won’t marry you."

Sun Rou’s voice was as pleasant as the sound of a bubbling stream, making Gu Hang nod happily, saying, "Xiao Rou, I won’t bully you, I’d rather bully myself than you."

Gu Hang automatically changed the subject, saying, "You better not come to Changshui Village, it’s said to require walking there, very tiring."

"Sister Xiao Yue doesn’t find it tiring, so I won’t either," Sun Rou said, quickly changing the subject, "Have you packed your things?"

Gu Hang responded reluctantly, having just confirmed their relationship with Sun Rou, he was reluctant to leave. However, thinking that a year will pass quickly and during that time, if he has the chance, he can still return to see Sun Rou, he felt reassured and said, "Xiao Rou, take good care of yourself at home, if you can’t move the goods in the store, hire someone to move them, don’t do it yourself."

"Hmm."

Sun Rou replied, also feeling a bit reluctant, she ran home and soon came back with a package, saying, "This is something for you."

"You prepared this in advance?" Gu Hang looked at the package, grinning widely, realizing that Sun Rou had already prepared these things for him.

"Safe travels."

Sun Rou didn’t respond to Gu Hang’s words, stuffing the package into his arms, and then turned and ran back home.

Gu Hang held the package, smiling even more happily, looking at Sun Rou’s doorstep for a long time before turning to leave.

He had just taken a few steps when he was blocked by someone.

Gu Hang retracted his smile, clearly showing no interest in talking, but Shen Qingqing blocked his path, standing in front of him, "Gu Hang, I thought you hated me to the bone, but I didn’t expect..."

Shen Qingqing, with her pregnant belly, had just seen clearly from the car the scene of Gu Hang and Sun Rou together.

"I told you, you still like my face, you still can’t forget me, right?" Shen Qingqing touched her face, seeing Gu Hang and Sun Rou together made her admit she was jealous.

Gu Hang was Shen Qingqing’s first love, the first person she fell for, though they weren’t together long before they separated. But Gu Hang’s resolute breakup and the hatred towards her due to Xu Mei’s death left Shen Qingqing feeling terrified every time she recalled.

Even when they met later, Gu Hang’s attitude towards Shen Qingqing was filled with hatred, as if he wished he could peel her skin and draw her nerves.

Yet now, Gu Hang liked Sun Rou, who had a face identical to hers?

Does this count as being unable to forget her?

"Shen Qingqing, stop flattering yourself, Xiao Rou and you are different." Gu Hang coldly said to Shen Qingqing, a stark contrast to his previous gentle demeanor.

"How are we different?" Shen Qingqing’s lips curled into a mocking smile, seemingly saying: We are identical twins, even if separated, unaware of each other’s existence, our appearance is still exactly the same.

If they swapped identical outfits, she guaranteed that unless someone was familiar, they definitely couldn’t tell them apart.

"People should have self-awareness."

Gu Hang left with the package without further explanation to Shen Qingqing, understanding that regardless of how he explained, Shen Qingqing wouldn’t believe him. Even if he pointed out the differences between the two, Shen Qingqing wouldn’t believe it.

If that’s the case, why bother explaining?

With people unrelated, there’s no need for additional explanations.

"Gu Hang!" Shen Qingqing shouted after Gu Hang, but he didn’t look back.

Damn!

Feeling upset, Shen Qingqing wanted to find Sun Rou, usually feeling happy seeing the hard-working Sun Rou, but what did she see today?

Why should Sun Rou receive Gu Hang’s genuine affection?

What’s different?

They still share the same face, what’s so different?

"Miss, mind the fetal movement."

Xiao Xiang cautioned alongside.

Shen Qingqing glared at her fiercely, and upon Xiao Xiang’s reminder, indeed felt her stomach wasn’t comfortable. She took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Xiang, tell me, how am I different from Sun Rou?"

Xiao Xiang lowered her head, shook and said, "The miss and Sun Rou look identical, from the outward appearance, there’s no difference."

As for any internal differences, Xiao Xiang withheld any evaluation, obviously avoiding seeking trouble.

The night before setting off for Changshui Village, Tang Yue contacted Zhang Hualian, noting that only half a month remained until May Day, previously Zhang Hualian had said to wait another week for Elder Mrs. Zhang’s health to improve before coming over. Tang Yue said, "Mom, how’s Grandma’s health?"

"Still the same, the doctor says it’s the usual old ailments. She was better before, but the recent unusual weather has worsened it a bit." Zhang Hualian reassured Tang Yue not to worry, saying, "You just need to explain to Xiao Yang."

"Rest assured, Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan are understanding, can you come over in a few days?" Tang Yue asked, knowing Grandma’s health was relatively stable, just occasionally aggravated by old ailments.

"I can."

Zhang Hualian assuredly said, "Xiao Min said their family of three can’t come over, so they’ll stay home to take care of Grandma, letting us not worry."

Xiao Min, that is Zhang Min, Zhang Huafeng’s daughter, married Gao Bin and had a chubby son, now the child is young, but life is comfortable. After getting married, Zhang Min seemed more mature than before.
