Chapter 2361 Gu Jinzhou 61
That night, Gu Jinzhou checked into a hotel near the Bai family.
If it were Gu Jinzhou himself, he would have booked the best suite in the hotel, but Gu Jinzhou, who was occupied by Guo Xu's consciousness, was accustomed to frugality in his previous life and only chose an ordinary standard room.
He stood straight and tall in front of the window, gazing at the Bai family's residence through the window.
Bai Chenxue and Bai Hanzhu live in an old-style house with white walls and black tiles.
The house faces south and is a typical Jiangnan courtyard house.
The roof is covered with old-style green tiles, which contrast beautifully with the white walls, giving off a faint ancient charm. The courtyard's patios, corridors, flower windows, rockery, ponds and other landscapes are arranged in an orderly manner, and in the night it looks like an antique garden ink painting.
Although full of ancient charm, the house is indeed a bit old and needs repair everywhere. It cannot be compared with the luxury of the Gu family's finely decorated courtyard house at the foot of the imperial city.
This old-style house is very expensive to repair.
It should have been repaired, but the Bai family didn't. I guess they were tight on finances.
Gu Jinzhou wanted to give Bai Chenxue a large sum of money to renovate the old house, but he didn't want to embezzle the Gu family's money.
He discovered his own dilemma. He could write a check to Yan Qingyu without any psychological barriers, but when it came to Bai Chenxue, he didn't want to use the Gu family's money.
This should be the self-esteem of a man.
Where can I get such a large sum of money right now?
Gu Jinzhou's thick brows were frowned.
Suddenly, I saw a red lantern in the old-style house. A thin woman in white clothes as white as snow was holding a lantern and walking slowly towards a sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
Although it was just a blurry figure, Gu Jinzhou could tell that it was Bai Chenxue.
He held his breath, and looked at her quietly from a distance of several hundred meters, feeling guilty.
His lover from the previous life was right in front of him, but he couldn't protect her or care for her. What a pity.
After pondering for a moment, he turned and walked out.
On the way, he passed by a shop selling Yuncheng pastries. He walked over and queued up to buy Ling Xue's favorite fresh flower cakes, tamarind cakes, Tonghai bean paste candy, Shilin milk cakes, Malipo sand cakes, etc.
After paying the money, he carried the paper bag and continued walking forward.
When passing by a flower shop, he went in and bought a bunch of bright red beauty chrysanthemums.
My late wife Ling Xue loved this flower the most during her lifetime. She said she liked its vigorous vitality and she liked everything red.
After so many years, he still remembers it clearly.
He took long steps and walked hurriedly towards the Bai family.
This feeling is just like when I was in love with Ling Xue before I died.
It was only a few hundred meters in total and he soon arrived at the door of the Bai family.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After knocking for a long time, Bai Chenxue came to open the door, still holding the red lantern in her hand.
The dim red light from the lantern shone on her face, adding a hint of red to her pale complexion and making her facial features look less thin.
The sweet osmanthus flowers fell on her jet-black hair and on her thin shoulders, and she was also imbued with the fragrance of the sweet osmanthus.
The fragrance is thick and distant.
Gu Jinzhou's thoughts returned to his previous life.
In the previous life, there was also an osmanthus tree in Ling Xue's yard. Every autumn when the osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, she always liked to make osmanthus paste for him to eat.
Miss her so much.
Thinking about it made his heart ache.
My heart began to twitch and all the blood in my body rushed to my heart.
Thinking back to reality, Gu Jinzhou lowered his eyes to look at Bai Chenxue's thin single eyelids and asked, "Do you like red lanterns?"
Bai Chenxue lowered her eyelashes and said calmly, "I just picked it up in the living room."
Gu Jinzhou looked at the fragrant osmanthus flowers that fell on her shoulders again and asked, "Can you make osmanthus cream?"
Bai Chenxue's voice was calm and even, "Yes."
"If I have the chance, I hope to eat the osmanthus paste you made yourself."
Bai Chenxue opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bear it.
Although Guo Xu's occupation of Gu Jinzhou's body was immoral.
But she gradually began to feel sorry for him.
After so many years, the man's soul has been scattered and his spirit is in chaos, but he still remembers his deceased wife from his previous life. Regardless of everything, he chases her to Gusu City to find her.
If it weren't for Yan Qingyu, and if it weren't for the Gu family's request, she would have accepted him and taken good care of him.
She was a person who easily cried, and when her heart ached, tears welled up in her eyes.
She blinked hard, trying to hold back her tears, but they only came more deeply.
She turned her head away and said with a hard heart, "Go away, and don't come to me again. I won't accept you."
Gu Jinzhou handed the fiery red Beauty Jiao in his hand to her, but Bai Chenxue did not take it.
Gu Jinzhou handed her the Yuncheng pastry in his hand.
This Yuncheng pastry shop has been open for thirty or forty years. Bai Chenxue has loved eating their pastries since she was a child. Later, because she would cough when the seasons changed and she needed to give up sweet foods, she rarely ate their pastries.
She still lowered her head, stiffened her neck and said, "Go back. Things of the past life are in the past life."
Gu Jinzhou leaned over and put the flowers and the paper bag containing Yuncheng pastries in his hand on the ground.
He looked at her profile longingly.
If her front face is 30% like Ling Xue, then her profile is exactly the same as Ling Xue, with the same slender neck, the same clear and delicate jawline, and even her ears are equally unique and beautiful.
With regret and guilt in his heart as thick as ink, he whispered, "You really don't want to accept me?"
Bai Chenxue raised his hand and gently wiped away the remaining tears from his eyes, saying firmly, "For you, going through all difficulties to find your deceased wife from your previous life and renew your relationship is a love that transcends two lives, and it is touching. But for me, it is ridiculous. You are Sister Qingyu's boyfriend, and I stole your love. What's the difference between me and a mistress? Our Bai family has been clean for generations. We can produce ordinary people, but we cannot produce people with corrupt morals."
Gu Jinzhou looked at her silently.
Guilt rolled over me.
Something wet lodged in his throat.
His neck was so painful that it felt like it was going to split.
After a long time, Bai Chenxue heard him whisper: "This is the last chance. If I lose it again this time, I will be dead in the near future."
Bai Chenxue felt a tiny but sharp pain in his heart, as if an ant was biting him.
Although what he said was strange and she didn't understand what was about to happen to him, there was such a person who came to find her across two lifetimes.
It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed.
She choked up, and after a few minutes she spoke: "Go now. No matter who you are, you must be good to Sister Qingyu. Sister Qingyu loves you very much. If it were someone else, they would be scared to death if they encountered such a thing, but Sister Qingyu will never leave you. You may not feel this kindness now, but you will know when you wake up."
Gu Jinzhou took one last look at her, then turned and left.
Bai Chenxue did not move for a long time.
She watched his tall figure walking away.
She slowly bent down, took out a piece of flower cake from the paper bag, put it in her mouth and started eating.
The crust is crispy and the filling has a rich rose scent. The sweet and fragrant taste evokes childhood memories. This was her favorite pastry when she was a child.
As he ate, big tears started to well up in his eyes.
She didn't know why she was crying?
Perhaps he felt sorry for the infatuated man, so he came to look for his deceased wife with his obsession from his previous life.
She was moved by his persistence.
Or maybe it was because she knew that he would be torn to pieces in the future, so she cried for him in advance.
It is also possible that she is really his deceased wife in his previous life, and this is the beloved wife named Axue in his heart, who is crying through her body.
