-苏妈妈(sù mā mā)- Mother Su

At the sight of the girl beneath him, Gu Yu Cheng's eyes became passionate and were like the waves gushing out.

"Trust me," Gu Yu Cheng whispered, and the next second, he kissed her with a bit of uncontrollable excitement, but also with a tinge of caution and as if he's handling a cherished treasure.

"Mm..."

After all, it was her first time in two lifetimes combined, and Su Rui knew exactly what was going to happen next, but she still couldn't help but feel nervous.

Yes, nervous.

She was nervous rather than scared.

It was just that there seemed to be no other option other than to trust this man right now.

She gave a faint smile and responded to Gu Yu Cheng's kiss. She lifted her arms and wrapped them around Gu Yu Cheng's neck, and at the same time, she gave herself to this man.

"Mm, Gu Yu Cheng!"

Sensing someone's slightly rash action, Su Rui gently tugged on the short hair at the back of Gu Yu Cheng's head and said emphatically, "I still want this outfit!"

"Buy it again." Gu Yu Cheng said in a muffled voice.

"Yu Cheng..."

"Cold?"

"No."

"Hot?"

"Mmm..."

Before Su Rui could finish her sentence, her lips were already sealed by Gu Yu Cheng.

Condoms!

Suddenly thinking of this crucial problem, Su Rui's gaze panicked and wanted to remind Gu Yu Cheng.

However, their current state...

Oh, never mind, let's leave it at that.

At most, she could go online tomorrow to look up what kind of medicine she needed and then go to the pharmacy to buy it.

......

Last night, Su Rui had no recollection of what time it was in the later parts.

All she remembered was that Gu Yu Cheng wanted to help her clean up afterwards, and Su Rui wanted to refuse and did it herself, but she was so sleepy that she couldn't even raise her hands or speak.

In the end, she could only let Gu Yu Cheng do as he pleased.

Later on, Su Rui had no idea when she had fallen asleep.

In the morning, Su Rui was still a bit dazed when she woke up.

It was only when she realized that she was lying in Gu Yu Cheng's arms that Su Rui woke up a little.

As she sniffed the scent of someone's body and listened to the sound of Gu Yu Cheng's heartbeat, the memories of last night flooded through her head and Su Rui's face warmed up.

At the same time, she uncontrollably had a faint smile on her face.

She lifted her head a little and looked at Gu Yu Cheng in front of her, a bright light flashed in Su Rui's eyes.

She quietly approached him and gave a kiss on the corner of Gu Yu Cheng's lips.

The next second, Su Rui rolled over and prepared to go back to sleep.

Anyway, she didn't have to go to school or Gu Company today.

Moreover, Su Rui was really tired and sleepy now.

Because she didn't want to wake Gu Yu Cheng up, Su Rui rolled over very quietly.

However, Su Rui didn't notice the smile on the corner of Gu Yu Cheng's mouth as she rolled over.

The movement of rolling over caused Su Rui to feel a strange sensation that had not yet subsided after her first time.

At that moment, Su Rui's face was in a state of splendour.

Her sleepiness was gone in an instant.

As she recalled the affectionate words that someone whispered in her ear over and over again yesterday, her cheeks flushed.

Yesterday's Gu Yu Cheng felt a little unfamiliar to Su Rui, as if he overturned the image in her head into someone who was reliable and introverted.

It seemed quite novel?

Su Rui couldn't help but smile.

As her sleepiness disappeared suddenly, Su Rui didn't know what to do.

She subconsciously held Gu Yu Cheng's hand that was resting on her own and compared the size of their palms in a somewhat bored manner.

Then, her fingertips traced the lines on Gu Yu Cheng's palms one by one.

All the way to the red string on his wrist.

This was the string Su Rui had prayed on behalf of Gu Yu Cheng when she went to the temple with Mother Su to pray.

After she returned home, her red string had been tied to her bed. She didn't expect Gu Yu Cheng to wear it until now.

The red cloth had already lost its colour and the words of "Peace and safety wherever you go" [1]on the strip of cloth had probably been stained. But now the red rope had been curled up into a single piece by Gu Yu Cheng, so it was hard to see clearly.

Su Rui unconsciously twirled the red rope around Gu Yu Cheng's wrist, then pulled the string together and spread it open according to the folds.

The red rope unfolded to reveal a brighter red part inside, which seemed even more unattractive.

Su Rui furrowed her brow and twisted the rope back again.

As Gu Yu Cheng watched the actions of the woman in his arms, he laughed uncontrollably.

Su Rui froze when she heard the sound from behind her. Before she could react, Gu Yu Cheng already clasped Su Rui's hand in his palm and then leaned forward hugging her tightly into his embrace again.

"Yu Cheng?"

"Yes."

"Did I wake you up?"

"No," Gu Yu Cheng said. He lowered his head and kissed Su Rui's hair and added, "I woke up a while ago."

"Hm?"

"Not very long either." Gu Yu Cheng said again.

Actually, he had woken up before Su Rui, but he just wanted to stare at her sleeping face and didn't want to wake her up, so Gu Yu Cheng closed his eyes again and did not move.

After helping Su Rui tidy her hair, Gu Yu Cheng asked gently, "Does it still hurt? Do you feel any discomfort?"

"No." Su Rui's face was flushed and she said with a strong pretence of calmness.

Even though the lingering strange feeling on her body was still present, Su Rui did not intend to bring it up and discuss that.

After saying that, Su Rui raised her hand and touched the side of Gu Yu Cheng's face with her backhand, and said with a tinge of coquettish, "Tired..."

With a soft chuckle, he grabbed Su Rui's hand and kissed it as he said, "I'm sorry."

"If you are tired, sleep a bit more."

"En." Su Rui answered.

Gu Yu Cheng placed Su Rui's hands under the blanket and helped her to adjust to a more comfortable position. And only after he saw Su Rui was already fast asleep did he come out of the blanket.

"Yu Cheng?"

Noticing the other person's movements, Su Rui subconsciously turned her head back to look in Gu Yu Cheng's direction.

Thus, incidentally, she also saw a certain "bursting with life" presence.

Su Rui quickly turned her head back.

Oh, okay, this is a normal reaction of men in the morning.

Su Rui repeatedly stressed this to herself three times in her head before she finally recovered from the momentary shyness and her throbbing heart.

Besides, if Gu Yu Cheng didn't have any reaction, she would be worried about their future living together, or even their married life.

Looking at the appearance of the woman on the bed who already buried half her face under the blanket, Gu Yu Cheng couldn't help but chuckle.

After arranging the blanket for Su Rui and giving a kiss on her forehead, Gu Yu Cheng said, "I will go and take care of it."

"Then put on a shirt, don't catch a cold," Su Rui reminded him.

Although the heater was on, it was still a cold day.

"Okay," said Gu Yu Cheng. He added, "I will listen to my wife."

"Go to sleep."

"En."

When Su Rui finally fell asleep, Gu Yu Cheng hadn't come out of the bathroom yet.

By the time Su Rui woke up from another nap, she could already smell the aroma of toasted bread in the air.

At this moment, Gu Yu Cheng was in the kitchen making breakfast while holding his work phone. Su Rui did not know what he was telling the person on the other side of the phone.

Oh right!

Phone.

Su Rui remembered that she was about to send a WeChat message to Mother Gu yesterday, and then when Gu Yu Cheng interrupted her, she had forgotten about it.

She didn't know if it would be too late to inform her now.

Su Rui pondered and tried to look for her phone.

After searching around the bed for it, Su Rui realized that she left it somewhere when she entered the house yesterday, after Gu Yu Cheng had carried her in.

But where had she put it, Su Rui had no recollection of.

The doorway?

Su Rui sat up and looked in the direction of the door, but it didn't seem to be there.

After scanning through the area, Su Rui took Gu Yu Cheng's personal mobile phone from the bedside table.

The password for Gu Yu Cheng's phone was her birthday, which Su Rui was aware of.

However, this was the first time Su Rui looked at his phone since they have been together.

As soon as she unlocked the phone, she saw a desktop background of red maple trees.

Of course, she was also present in the picture.

At first glance, Su Rui could tell that Gu Yu Cheng had taken this picture with his own phone.

Because there was no retouching.

However, it looked pretty good.

That was the first time the two of them went on a date, right?

It was on the day before the start of school.

It hadn't really been that long, but probably because of the change in their relationship, it made Su Rui feel like it has been awhile.

Facing the wallpaper, Su Rui lavishly praised[2] herself.

It was only then that Su Rui remembered what she was doing with his phone.

Su Rui directly dialled her own number on Gu Yu Cheng's mobile phone.

Once the first three numbers had been dialled, her mobile number popped up in the first row.

[Wife]?

Looking at the contact name set by Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui raised her eyebrows.

Since when did this guy use "Wife" as her contact name?

Su Rui stared at Gu Yu Cheng's phone and cocked her eyebrows.

However, there was no denying that looking at these two words at this moment made Su Rui feel warm and fuzzy inside.

How about she changes Gu Yu Cheng's name as well?

She dialled her own mobile phone.

A string of rings sounded, Su Rui searched around for a while before she was able to locate the phone, which should be in the cabinet at the hallway.

The movement on Su Rui's side naturally also caught Gu Yu Cheng's attention.

Gu Yu Cheng turned his head and saw Su Rui, who had put on her loungewear jacket and got up from the bed. It seemed that she was about to get out of bed and head to the hallway to retrieve her mobile phone. Gu Yu Cheng subconsciously increased the speed in explaining the work to the person on the other end of the phone.

Turning off the fire, Gu Yu Cheng talked on the phone while walking ahead of Su Rui to the hallway. He took the mobile phone in the hallway and handed it to Su Rui.

Noticing Gu Yu Cheng's intention to carry herself to bed with one hand, Su Rui hurriedly stopped him with her gaze.

"I'll go wash up, you talk about work." Su Rui mouthed the words and gestured towards Gu Yu Cheng.

After Su Rui cleaned up in the bathroom, Gu Yu Cheng's call already ended and he was bringing out what he made earlier and placed it on the table.

"It smells so good." Su Rui walked over and gave Gu Yu Cheng a wave of flattery first.

Although it was flattery, it was still very effective.

Hearing Su Rui's words, the corners of Gu Yu Cheng's mouth curved up and. He pulled her towards him.

"It's you who's hungry."

After eating, Su Rui had wanted to wash yesterday's sheets first, but was stopped by Gu Yu Cheng.

Gu Yu Cheng pulled Su Rui and said, "Wash them when we return." After a pause, he added, "I'll wash them."

"Is it okay for you to go out today?" Gu Yu Cheng asked again.

"It's not that bad." Su Rui glanced at Gu Yu Cheng and said.

It is just that Su Rui was a bit puzzled by his words.

Go out?

The next second, she heard Gu Yu Cheng say again, "Then let's go somewhere."

"Hm? Where are we going?"

"The Civil Affairs Bureau."
