    Chapter 37 Chapter 37 “I love you.”

    After New Year’s Day, the weather is getting colder and colder, the temperature has dropped to zero degrees, and there is a faint tendency of snow.

    The snow has not yet fallen, but Wu Xue has become clingy again.Rather than maintaining his human form, he now prefers to turn into a kitten and huddle up next to Gu Sichen.

    In the late winter afternoon, the weather was gloomy, the lights were not turned on in the bedroom, and one person and one cat were sleeping in a warm bed. At this time, even the workaholic Gu Sichen became slack. He indulged in this ordinary happiness and slowly closed his eyes.

    For a long time, he had a weak sense of home. He would rather work overtime at the company than go home. To him, home was just a house and a place to sleep.He never imagined that one day he would sleep in the same bed as his beloved, doing nothing, thinking about nothing, and feeling satisfied just being together.

    “Gu Sichen, don’t sleep.” After an unknown amount of time, a voice came from a distant place.

    Gu Sichen didn’t want to pay attention and buried his head in the bed.

    The next moment, the bedroom door was opened, and the voice sounded directly above his head: “I brought you food, please get up and eat something.”

    Gu Sichen didn’t respond, and the man added, “I know this incident has hit you hard, but you can’t go on like this. You’ve been sleeping for three days, and everyone is worried about you…”

    At the end of the sentence, my tone was a bit sad.

    Gu Sichen just felt baffled. Why did Fei Jun come to recite sutras at his bedside when he had nothing to do?He lifted the quilt and found that Fei Jun had an anxious look on his face. Compared with the last time they were separated, he seemed much more haggard.

    Their eyes met, Fei Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief: “Thank God, you finally woke up.”

    Gu Sichen looked confused: “Why did you come to my house?”

    “I’m not afraid that you won’t be able to think about it for a while…” At this point, Fei Jun lost his voice again and paused for a few seconds before adding, “As long as you’re fine, get up and have something to eat. There are still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in the company.”

    He was just taking a nap, how could he have so many things going on?Do you need Fei Jun to remind you?

    Gu Sichen felt something was wrong, but he had already entered the bathroom. When he was brushing his teeth, he saw a beard growing on his face.

    Does he have that much beard?

    Gu Sichen was very confused, but couldn’t figure out what was wrong for the moment.After washing up, he went outside to eat what Fei Jun had brought.

    It was very unpalatable and difficult to swallow, so Gu Sichen put down his chopsticks.

    But the strange thing is that he is obviously not a person who has high requirements for food.

    Fei Jun was not surprised, he just sighed and said, “This is not your solution. I will accompany you to see a psychiatrist.”

    Gu Sichen frowned: “Why should I see a psychiatrist?”

    Fei Jun didn’t speak anymore. There was a complex look of guilt on his face, making his already haggard face even more ugly.

    “I’m sorry for you,” Fei Jun spoke again after a long silence, “I know you’re sad now. I’m also responsible for Ting’an’s departure. You can beat me when you’re angry, but don’t hold it in your heart alone.”

    Gu Sichen became even more confused. He was trying to stop Fei Jun from going crazy, but suddenly he remembered everything. Gu Ting’an failed to wait for the artificial heart and passed away two weeks ago.

    Gu Sichen personally held the funeral for Gu Ting’an. Someone at the funeral whispered that he had a cold expression throughout the whole process and that he must have no feelings for his deceased brother.

    After the funeral, Gu Sichen worked normally for a week and then suddenly disappeared.Three days later, Fei Jun found Gu Sichen in the bedroom and wanted to shake him up to see a psychiatrist.

    After a series of examinations and questionnaires, Gu Sichen looked at the form indicating his severe depression with an expressionless expression.The doctor prescribed him a lot of medicine and even suggested that he be hospitalized, but Gu Sichen refused.

    He wants to go home, he wants to go home.

    Gu Sichen couldn’t explain why he was obsessed with home. He carried a bag of medicine home and looked at the empty living room, suddenly feeling that something should come out to greet him.Some people avoided him to eat snacks, sat on the sofa and played games, hugged him with smiles, and called him Gu Sichen.

    Gu Sichen felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn’t remember it anyway.During this period, his family came to see him. Gu Guangyao wanted to enter the board secretariat, but Gu Sichen refused.

    Gu Sichen started taking medicine, worked as usual, and exercised occasionally, and his life returned to its former peace.It’s just that when he comes home occasionally, opens the closet, and lies in bed, he subconsciously feels that something is missing.

    What’s missing?Gu Sichen couldn’t remember, he seemed to be losing all the time.

    Time went on like this, and he continued to work, then stopped taking the medicine and stopped returning for follow-up visits.He no longer thinks about anything else except work, and he still works until night even on his birthday.

    Gu Sichen left the company after dark and bought a bouquet of flowers before the flower shop closed. He suddenly wanted to go to the cemetery to celebrate his birthday with Gu Ting’an.

    However, just as he walked out of the flower shop, a car swerved onto the sidewalk and hit Gu Sichen.

    Gu Sichen actually had no intention of committing suicide. He just didn’t escape immediately when the car hit him. At this critical moment when every second counted, he began to wonder why he wanted to live.Gu Si Shen was unable to come up with the answer. He was in a daze for only 2 seconds before the car hit him.

    “Bang——”

    Feeling a severe weightlessness in his body, Gu Sichen suddenly sat up from the bed and found himself on the big bed in the bedroom.The room was quiet and his limbs were intact, as if he had just had a dream.

    But what about Wu Xue?

    “Wu Xue!” Gu Sichen shouted Wu Xue’s name loudly, and went from the bedroom to the cloakroom and bathroom, but no one responded.

    It was already dark, but the lights did not turn on automatically for some reason. Gu Sichen had no time to care. He strode through the spacious bedroom and then walked into the living room.

    “Wu Xue——!”

    “Bang – bang -”

    Two loud noises erupted in the darkness, as if an out-of-control vehicle was approaching again.Gu Sichen froze on the spot, his body covered in colorful confetti.

    “Happy birthday!”

    However, the next moment, the warm candlelight lit up, and Wu Xue walked out of the darkness holding the cake.Gu Ting’an, Fei Jun, and Xiao Mian stood aside, holding birthday flowers in their hands.

    Gu Sichen was stunned on the spot. He stared at Wu Xue’s face for more than ten seconds. After singing Happy Birthday, Wu Xue walked up to him and called him: “Gu Sichen, blow out the candles quickly.”

    Gu Sichen just woke up from a dream and lowered his head to blow out the candles.He was so clumsy that he couldn’t even blow out the candles, so he had to help Wu Xue blow them out together.

    Then the lights came on, illuminating the birthday surprise everyone had arranged for him.

    Wu Xue put the cake on the table and was about to put a birthday hat on Gu Sichen, but Gu Sichen suddenly took two steps forward and hugged him tightly.

    Gu Sichen was too strong, and Wu Xue was forced to take two steps back, until she hit the table and finally stopped.

    “Wu Xue,” Gu Sichen closed his eyes, felt Wu Xue’s body temperature and breath, and finally let out a long breath, “Thank you.”

    Wu Xue laughed, patted Gu Sichen on the back and said, “As long as you like it, there will be countless birthdays in the future.”

    Gu Sichen went to hug Gu Ting’an again. Their brothers did not express their love so directly. Gu Ting’an’s body stiffened for a moment, but under Wu Xue’s encouraging eyes, he hugged Gu Sichen back.

    Gu Sichen let go of his hand and asked again, “How is your health?”

    “It’s pretty good,” Gu Ting’an said. “Brother Fei Jun said I’m as strong as an ox.”

    “I’m encouraging you, not telling you to act recklessly,” Fei Jun said, “but as long as you recover well, you won’t be much different from a normal person.”

    Gu Sichen looked at Fei Jun, then stepped forward to give him a hug and said thank you.

    Fei Jun said that the sun had risen from the west, and said that he was so numb that he had goosebumps all over his body.People began to bicker pointlessly and dinner began.

    Gu Sichen actually couldn’t remember what he had for dinner, but the lively scene of lovers, relatives, and friends gathering was deeply ingrained in his heart.

    A warm room, hot food, people’s laughter… Only then did he realize that birthdays could be so happy.

    After eating and drinking, it was already 10 o’clock in the evening after sending everyone away.Wu Xue still wanted to put away the tableware, but Gu Sichen hugged him from behind and whispered: “Stop it, Auntie will collect it tomorrow.”

    “Why is it so hot?” Wu Xue felt a piece of charcoal sticking to him. He reached out to touch Gu Sichen’s cheek, “Are you drunk?”

    “No,” Gu Sichen pressed his body against him and said in a lower and sexier voice than before, “Let me hold you for a while.”

    When Wu Xue turned around, Gu Sichen came over to kiss him with narrowed eyes.The body temperature is hot, the movements are sticky, and the breath is heavier than before.

    Gu Sichen didn’t kiss for a long time, so he let go of Wu Xue and asked someone to wash up.

    After taking a bath, Wu Xue squinted and fell into bed. Not long after, Gu Sichen also lay down and kissed his forehead.

    “Are you tired?”

    “A little bit,” Wu Xue turned around and pressed her face against Gu Sichen’s chest, “Let me lean against you for a while.”

    Gu Sichen said yes and called his name in a very soft voice. Wu Xue hummed, and Gu Sichen asked again, “Why did you come to me?”

    However, before Wu Xue could answer, Gu Sichen said again: “Forget it, you’d better stop talking.”

    Wu Xue was amused by him, raised her head and said, “So do you want me to tell you?”

    Gu Sichen thought for a while and said, “If the answer is not good, then don’t tell me.”

    Wu Xue was quiet for a while and said, “I don’t know if it’s okay or not. All this is the will of the Cat God.”

    Gu Sichen said nothing, waiting for him to continue.

    Wu Xue added: “Cats that had a fate with people in their previous lives will be sent by the cat god to repay their kindness in this life.”

    “Oh,” Gu Sichen thought for a moment and then said, “Does your repaying kindness include being with others?”

    “What are you dreaming about?” Wu Xue shook her head with a smile, “We cats are all artists, not our bodies.”

    Only then did Gu Sichen laugh, and asked knowingly: “Then why did you sell yourself to me?”

    Wu Xue didn’t want to answer, so Gu Sichen said to himself: “It turns out it’s because you like me.”

    “Childish devil.” Wu Xue smiled and went to grab his hair, but Gu Sichen hugged his waist and kissed him gently.

    There is only a circle of ambient lighting in the bedroom, creating a comfortable and dim feeling of relaxation.Gu Sichen lowered his eyes and kissed Wu Xue, his eyelashes casting a shadow on his face.

    After the kiss ended, Wu Xue reached out and opened Gu Sichen’s eyelids, looked into his eyes and asked, “I feel like something is wrong with you today. Did something happen?”

    Gu Sichen said no.

    Wu Xue didn’t ask any more questions, and raised her chin to kiss his eyelashes.Soft lips and breath falling like petals, so beautiful it’s almost unreal.

    Gu Sichen closed his eyes and remembered how he felt when he woke up and couldn’t find Wu Xue.At that time, he thought for a moment that he was still living in a dream, and he began to feel that if he had not met Wu Xue, he might really die like in the dream.

    “Okay, okay, it’s okay.” Although Gu Sichen didn’t say anything, Wu Xue still noticed his emotions, acted like an adult coaxing a child, and gently touched his hair.

    Gu Sichen suddenly smiled and suddenly said: “Cat God.”

    “Huh?” Wu Xue raised her head in confusion.

    Gu Sichen said: “You are my cat god.”

    Wu Xue was stunned for a moment, so happy that his ears and tails popped out, but he pretended to be calm and asked: “I didn’t hear clearly, what did you just say?”

    Gu Sichen said cooperatively: “I said you are my cat god.”

    Wu Xue could no longer hold back her smile and excitedly urged Gu Sichen: “Say it again!”

    Gu Sichen: “I must have done very good things in my previous life to meet you in this life.”

    Wu Xue couldn’t listen anymore. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn’t withstand Gu Sichen’s unprincipled flattery. Finally, he became shy and blushed, covering Gu Sichen’s mouth: “Okay, okay, I know everything.”

    Gu Sichen took the opportunity to grab his hand and kissed it.

    Wu Xue’s face turned even redder, and he found that he was completely unable to deal with such a gentle Gu Sichen.He turned his face to the window to change his focus and was surprised to find it was snowing.

    Wu Xue opened her eyes wide and said excitedly: “Gu Sichen, it’s snowing!”

    “Well,” Gu Sichen was looking at Wu Xue, “It’s the first snow this year.”

    Snowflakes fell from the sky, filling the dark night sky.

    They were making love in the room. Gu Sichen slowly entered Wu Xue and tirelessly said I love you over and over again.
