Chapter 292 It's better to cherish something yourself than to entrust it to someone else.
The car drove all the way to Grandpa Lu's courtyard in the county town.
After the two old men left, Gu Nan quickly helped Su Niannian to his room.
“You really don’t need to do this…” Su Niannian felt that Gu Nan was taking care of her as if she were disabled.
She was much more attentive and meticulous in taking care of him than she was in taking care of her older brother.
There's really no need for that. I'm just pregnant, and my body is so healthy that nothing will happen to me.
"No, you're a high-priority protected individual now."
Gu Nan said with a serious expression.
"But if you do this, your mother will worry too much."
"I'm only newly pregnant, and it will be a long, long time before I give birth. If I can't do this or that, won't my mother have to take care of me all the time?"
Su Niannian held Gu Nan's hand and said with a serious expression.
Gu Nan really wanted to say that he would take good care of his little girl, in the kind of way that takes care of every little detail.
But I'll be going back to the army soon, and I might still be going out on missions frequently, and my little girl...
"Gu Nan, I'm really okay, you have to believe me."
"Besides, the baby in my belly is carrying our blood. How could I possibly be careless and hurt our baby?" Su Niannian said, withdrawing one hand and placing it on her lower abdomen.
Gu Nan watched Su Niannian's movements, and looked at the hand Su Niannian placed on her lower abdomen.
Yes, my little girl will take good care of herself and the baby in her belly.
"Then you need to be careful. I'll do any heavy work." Gu Nan had conceded a step.
Su Niannian smiled, reassuring Gu Nan.
Seeing this, Gu Nan smiled and murmured, "I'm going to be a father, that's wonderful."
Seeing Gu Nan's silly expression, Su Niannian laughed even harder.
Gu's mother stood in the courtyard, looking towards Gu Nan's room, seemingly lost in thought.
Gu Ningning walked to her mother's side and took her hand.
"Mother, now that we can go back to the capital, will Father come back to us?" Gu Ningning looked up at her mother and asked.
Gu's mother thought, "Probably."
Gu's mother also longed for her beloved to return to her side so that the family could be reunited.
This is probably Gu's mother's biggest dream.
Gu's mother's greatest wish is for the whole family to be together in good health and happiness.
"I don't know either, but like you, I hope your father will reunite with us soon," said Gu's mother, stroking Gu Ningning's head with a smile.
After the two old men left, a figure appeared in Gu Zhendong's mind.
It's... Zhao Tian.
Gu Zhendong was not an indecisive person before, but now he just can't make a decision immediately.
Gu Zhendong originally thought that he would carefully consider his relationship with Zhao Tian after his leg recovered.
After all, she was a divorced mother with a child, while Zhao Tian was a virgin.
I am truly not good enough for Zhao Tian. If I were to be with Zhao Tian, things would be fine if we lived well, but if we didn't, I would be ruining Zhao Tian's entire life.
In that case, one's sin would be even greater.
Gu Zhendong did not regret his past actions. They were all his own choices, and he deserved to bear all the consequences of his choices.
But can I really drag Zhao Tian down with me and make her bear the consequences of what I did before?
If I go back to Beijing with Gu Nan and the others at this time, can I talk to Zhao Tian and make her give up on me completely?
Gu Zhendong really didn't want to hold such a good girl back.
After much deliberation, Gu Zhendong decided to wait until later and have Gu Ningning call Zhao Tian over so he could talk to her and clear things up.
"Mom, I want to go back to my room and rest for a bit," Gu Zhendong said to his mother in the yard.
"Okay," Mrs. Gu replied.
Since recovering from her illness, Gu's mother, together with Gu Ningning, has been able to move Gu Zhendong.
As a result, Gu Nan heard the noise in the courtyard and came out immediately.
He picked up his older brother, Gu Zhendong, and carried him directly back to his room.
Gu Nan placed Gu Zhendong on his kang (a heated brick bed) and saw a conflicted expression on Gu Zhendong's face, completely different from when they were eating.
I couldn't help but ask, "Are you thinking about Zhao Tian?"
Gu Nan dislikes beating around the bush and has always been straightforward in his speech.
Gu Zhendong was immediately caught off guard by Gu Nan's guess of his thoughts. After a brief moment of surprise, he did not hide it.
"Zhao Tian is a good girl. I've already wasted so much time on her, and I don't want to waste any more time." Gu Zhendong clasped his hands together, seemingly a little nervous, or perhaps conflicted.
"So, you need to make things clear before you leave?" Gu Nan asked again.
Gu Zhendong nodded upon hearing this.
"But have you ever thought about what she wants?" Gu Nan asked, sitting next to Gu Zhendong, his eyes somewhat vacant.
"What do you mean?" Gu Zhendong asked, puzzled.
"Su Niannian, the first time I saw her was at sunset. She walked out of the bus station carrying her luggage, as if she was born with a kind of light."
"I was immediately drawn to her in the crowd."
"But given my family's situation and our social class, I dare not get close to her, and I even have thoughts of staying away from her."
"I was happy until I found out she had feelings for me."
"It feels like a windfall."
As Gu Nan said this, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a handsome smile.
"But given my situation, I feel I'm not good enough for such a wonderful girl."
"The more admirable qualities she has, the more I feel unworthy of her."
“At first I didn’t know whether Song Zhiqing was male or female, but when she kept mentioning it, I felt jealous.”
“When she distanced herself from me and ignored me, I felt terrible.”
"I know I'm hopelessly in love with this girl, but I still don't dare to take another step forward."
"Until Su Niannian explicitly told me that she liked me."
"What if such a wonderful girl ends up with someone else, and that person doesn't cherish her as much as I do, or love and pamper her as much as I do?"
"Instead of handing such a good girl over to someone who may not be able to treat her well, it's better to take a step forward and do your best to give her the happiness she wants."
"How will you know you can't give her happiness if you don't try?"
"I may not be the best or the most outstanding, but I love her the most."
Gu Nan's smile deepened as he spoke.
"Instead of handing such a good girl over to someone else, wouldn't it be better to work hard to make her happy?" Gu Zhendong repeated Gu Nan's words.
