Ch 66: Daily Farm Life After Returning from Interstellar

Kiss

Before they departed, Father Su once again cautioned his daughter, urging her to be cautious around the big wolfhound by her side, fearing that she might encounter trouble.

What else could Su Mu do? She could only obediently agree.

Not only was she given numerous warnings, but Gu Shi also received them. Even Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were concerned. Having young man and woman with good physical and mental health together in one place was a recipe for disaster. They were still staying on someone else’s turf, so if anything unexpected happened, how could they face the parents of the other party?

Gu Shi touched his nose, feeling slightly guilty, and replied, “Grandpa, Grandma, you can rest assured, I know my limits.”

He had good self-control, both for himself and other matters, but when it came to Mu Mu… he lacked confidence in himself.

This trip was arranged for Tang Hui to drive the two of them to the airport. Gu Shi himself also had things to do in Muyun City. He needed his monthly health check-up; last month, he was a bit anemic, so he should have improved a lot this month. However, until the test results were out, nothing could be said for sure.

After seeing them off at the airport, Tang Hui smiled and said, “Wish you both a pleasant trip.”

Su Mu nodded, “Thank you.”

The small car gradually merged into the flowing traffic, disappearing from view.

She linked arms with Gu Shi and affectionately leaned against him, saying, “Mr. Gu, please take care of me in the coming days.”

Gu Shi raised his hand and tapped her cute, upturned nose, “Sure, I’ve got you covered.”

He truly lived up to his words. He took care of her every step of the way. He pushed the luggage himself, not allowing Su Mu to lift a finger. He also periodically checked if she was thirsty or hungry. On the plane, when the temperature got a bit cold, he had a small blanket prepared.

Su Mu leaned on his shoulder and looked up at his elegantly sculpted jawline, admiringly saying, “Gu Shi, you’re really good.”

Gu Shi chuckled softly, “Is that so?”

“Yeah.” Su Mu nodded. No matter what, he was the best in her eyes. Perhaps this was what they called “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”?

Gu Shi pulled her into his embrace and kissed her forehead, “Are you sleepy? If you are, take a nap?”

They had risen very early this morning and driven for over an hour. She was a bit exhausted.

“I’m not sleepy.” Su Mu truly wasn’t tired. She was full of anticipation for this trip. September in the southern regions was unbearably hot, so she deliberately chose a coastal city in the north for their trip. The temperature there should be a bit lower than in the south. More importantly, she was really looking forward to enjoying an authentic seafood feast.

Although Huayuan Village was located inland with numerous mountains and rivers, it lacked a sea. Su Mu had always yearned to visit the seaside, but various reasons always prevented her from doing so. Their destination, on the other hand, was a seaside town, and it was quite beautiful. The sea was a deep blue, like the purest sapphire.

However, experiencing one’s long-held wish with their loved one made the feeling entirely different.

“Alright, shall we talk?” Gu Shi proposed.

Su Mu lifted her head at his words, her eyes shining, “About what?”

“What do you want to talk about?” Gu Shi’s tone was gentle, and Su Mu couldn’t help but get lost in it. After pondering for a moment, she slowly began, “I want to know if you’ve been in a relationship before. Did you have anyone you liked during your school days? Why did you suffer from insomnia?”

Gu Shi suddenly felt like he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot. He had dug a pit and buried himself in it.

Actually, these questions weren’t difficult for him to answer; he just felt a bit embarrassed.

“I haven’t been in a relationship before, and there was no one I liked. The issue of insomnia is more complicated. I often hear noisy sounds in my ears, sounds that don’t exist in reality.”

He carefully observed her expression, afraid that she might show a fearful look, but she didn’t. Instead, her concern was evident.

“So, is it better now? Is it still severe?”

Gu Shi smiled as if a burden had been lifted, “It’s much better.”

By her side, the cacophony of noise had completely disappeared. After resting in Huayuan Village for a while, when he returned home for the Dragon Boat Festival a few months ago, the sounds in his ears had already diminished significantly. He estimated that they would completely disappear before long.

“That’s good.” Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t have this kind of trouble, so she couldn’t fully understand his feelings. But she did feel genuine concern. If she got agitated from village commotion, she could imagine that she would go crazy if she constantly heard these noises in her ears.

Gu Shi hesitated for a moment and finally confessed about his past conflicts.

“Before, my hot-and-cold attitude towards you was also related to this issue.”

“Huh?” Su Mu was puzzled. What did emotions have to do with insomnia?

“Because you seem to have a kind of magic. When I’m near you, the noises in my ears disappear. So, I’ve been struggling with whether I was just attracted to this tranquility or if I truly liked you as a person. I was afraid of hurting you.”

He could have kept this secret hidden forever, considering that no one else knew about it except for him. However, he didn’t want to conceal anything from her.

Su Mu’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure. She lightened the mood by saying, “Have you thought it through?”

“Of course, otherwise, why would I bring up this matter? It’s just self-inflicted suffering, isn’t it?”

Su Mu raised her fist playfully and spoke in a pretend stern tone, “Good, that’s better. Otherwise, hmm…”

She was an adult who had experienced quite a lot, so she naturally had no doubts about his feelings for her. Her tough words were just a way to divert the focus away from their differences.

Gu Shi enveloped her hand in his palm, lifted it, and gave it a kiss, “You have a lifetime to ascertain the sincerity of my feelings for you.”

After a few hours of flight, they arrived at their destination in the evening. Su Mu had fallen asleep leaning against Gu Shi and woke up with her bones feeling like jelly when they landed.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, should we head to the hotel first?”

“No need. Let’s cancel the hotel reservation. I have a vacation home here. We’ll stay there for the next few days.”

Su Mu almost forgot that her boyfriend was a super wealthy nth generation. Naturally, he wouldn’t stay in a hotel while traveling. She swiftly canceled the hotel reservation without caring about the small cancellation fee.

As they exited the airport, there was someone waiting for them at the entrance. Thanks to him, Su Mu found herself in an extended version of a luxury car for the first time. The interior was spacious, with an extra-long and plush sofa, a small fridge, and a variety of snacks on a table.

Gu Shi didn’t take anything from the fridge for her. Instead, he picked up an unlabeled bottle of water from the table, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to her, saying, “Have some water first.”

After seeing her obediently drink the water, he opened a delicately packed small meal box in front of him.

“This is seafood noodles, have a little to fill your stomach.”

Su Mu noticed a few pink shrimp in the noodles and couldn’t help but exclaim in delight, “What did you prepare?”

“I grabbed this while getting off the plane, while it was still hot.”

He directly took a bowl, picked up a shrimp, and held it to her lips. Su Mu’s face turned slightly red, and after taking the first bite, she took the bowl from his hand and fed him a couple of bites as well.

Gu Shi didn’t really like eating outside food, but he still finished the food she offered.

With a deep gaze, he spoke softly, “Mu Mu, does this mean we’re…?”

The chef who made this dish was quite skilled. The noodles were firm, and the shrimp and crab were delicious. Su Mu ate with satisfaction. Hearing his words, she casually asked, “Does this mean what?”

Gu Shi slowly pronounced a few words that made Su Mu blush deeply.

“Indirect kiss.”

Su Mu almost choked on her food, her eyes widened as she looked at him, and then she performed a few daring actions.

She put down her chopsticks, cupped his cheek, leaned close to his ear, and teased, “Mr. Gu, there’s a wild beast living inside you, isn’t there?”

Gu Shi’s ears gradually turned red due to her audacious move. Her voice made his heart tremble, and his hand instinctively moved to the waist she lightly held.

Their eyes met, and Su Mu kissed his lips, fulfilling what she had wanted to do for a while. Just as she had imagined, Mr. Gu’s lips were different from him in a soft and gentle manner, carrying a faint scent of passion fruit, lemon, and mint tea.

Gu Shi was momentarily stunned by her bold action, but just as she was about to pull away, he recovered and took charge. His long fingers pulled her onto his lap, supporting her head with his other hand, and deepened the kiss.

Su Mu had intended to tease him playfully, but she didn’t expect him to passionately imprison her, making it hard for her to move. His kiss was intense, overwhelming, and within moments, she could only surrender and drown in his disorderly breath.
