Chapter 240 She held the flowers in one hand and hugged him back with the other
In the summer of the fourth year after Ji Xingyuan left, on the night before her birthday, Su Xiaoxiao went to Jiangnanli alone.
Enter your birthday and open the door to room 717.
After turning on the lights in the hall with a "click", she looked at everything familiar in the hall and the wedding photo of her and Ji Xingyuan on the wall.
Her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
For many years before Ji Xingyuan left, they would come here and stay for a few nights every month.
Let this little home that has always belonged to them retain its popularity and the feeling of home forever.
But in the more than three years after he left, Su Xiaoxiao only came two or three times a year. She deliberately didn't come more often.
Because this place carries so many sweet memories for her and Ji Xingyuan.
Every time I come here alone, I will be sad for the whole night and will still be in a depressed state the next day.
She didn't like to immerse herself in the past that she could never return to, and she knew that Ji Xingyuan didn't like her like this either.
But this evening, she wanted to make a decision.
I want to tell Ji Xingyuan about this decision first.
After gazing tenderly at Ji Xingyuan's face in the wedding photo for a while, Su Xiaoxiao slowly took out her phone and carefully sent a message to Gu Jingzhou:
Gu Jingzhou, please don't send me lilies on my birthday this year.
After sending it, she raised her watery eyes, looked at Ji Xingyuan's photo and said: A Yuan, I decided to give myself and Gu Jingzhou a chance.
If he and I have a tacit understanding tomorrow, I will be his wife for the rest of my life. If he and I don't have this tacit understanding, I will always be with you for the rest of my life.
A Yuan, no matter what choice I make, you will support me, right?
Su Xiaoxiao murmured, raised her hand and gently stroked Ji Xingyuan's face in the photo, two lines of turbid tears slid down her face.
Her phone rang with a message alert.
It was a text message from Gu Jingzhou, and he replied with just one word: OK.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at his reply, smiled faintly, and didn't reply to him.
Regarding tomorrow’s birthday, what will Gu Jingzhou do tomorrow, or maybe he will do nothing.
She just has one attitude: let things take their course.
Because she had already done what she wanted to do.
As for what Gu Jingzhou would do, that was something Gu Jingzhou needed to consider. She could accept any outcome calmly.
That night, she lived alone in Jiangnanli and fell asleep with Ji Xingyuan's name on her pillow.
That night, Gu Jingzhou stayed in the Gu family villa and fell asleep with Su Xiaoxiao's name on his pillow.
Su Xiaoxiao hasn't called him by his name for decades.
Every time she called him by his name, he knew that it meant a woman was talking to a man.
If she calls him "big brother", it means that the younger sister is talking to the older brother.
He always knew the difference.
He knew that Su Xiaoxiao could always tell the difference.
Therefore, when he saw the message she suddenly sent him, he was suddenly extremely excited and filled with emotion.
Lying on the bed, holding his cell phone, he silently looked at the message for a long time.
Although at the end of her message, she asked him not to send her lilies for her birthday this year.
But Gu Jingzhou still happily read out the meaning he wanted from this somewhat meaningful message.
The next morning, Su Xiaoxiao went to work in the neurosurgery department of the 717th Hospital as usual.
She is seventy-six years old, but still in good health and can still perform complex brain surgery on patients with incredible flexibility and skill.
Still able to guide the young doctors in the team.
In the morning, she performed a complex brain surgery with her two apprentices.
By the time I finished, it was almost midnight.
When she returned to the office feeling a little tired, she remembered that today was her birthday.
However, Gu Jingzhou did not have anyone send him the same birthday gift this morning as he had done in the past few decades.
She smiled with relief and let herself accept the result calmly.
But then she picked up her phone and saw that Gu Jingzhou had sent her a message before twelve o'clock:
Happy birthday, Dr. Su! I know you're operating on a patient right now. I'll be waiting for you at the hospital entrance after you finish your surgery. See you there.
Seeing this message and seeing how Gu Jingzhou addressed her, Su Xiaoxiao slowly raised the corners of her lips.
Her eyes were a little moist as she smiled knowingly and movedly.
This man who has loved her silently for decades, this man whom she once loved naively, this first love who was not perfect at all when he was young and had no tacit understanding with her.
In the twilight of life, I finally reached a tacit understanding with her.
She changed her clothes, tidied her appearance, carried her bag, and walked out of the hospital gate calmly.
The summer midday sun is a bit strong.
Gu Jingzhou, dressed in a refined and refreshing white shirt and black pants, is still tall and straight, his temperament is still outstanding and dazzling, but his hair has turned gray.
Holding a bouquet of bright red roses in his hand, he walked towards Su Xiaoxiao with steady and affectionate steps.
"Su Xiaoxiao, happy birthday! This is for you, I hope it suits your taste." Gu Jingzhou handed the rose in his hand to Su Xiaoxiao with burning eyes, but he was still a little nervous.
Because until the final confirmation, he still didn't dare to hold 100% hope.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu. These flowers are exactly what I want." Su Xiaoxiao took the flowers with a smile.
Hearing her words, Gu Jingzhou was extremely excited.
He hugged her tightly and asked with a choked voice, "Su Xiaoxiao, you are finally willing to accept me, right?"
"What do you think, idiot?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked back with a moving and doting look in her eyes.
She held the flowers in one hand and hugged him back with the other, feeling very emotional.
She would allow herself to fall in love with this man all over again.
Otherwise, she wouldn't give herself a chance to start over with him.
Because this man, who has become better with the years and has been in love with her all his life, is worthy of her loving him wholeheartedly and affectionately again in the twilight of her life.
This time, once it starts, she will definitely not let the two of them have any regrets.
"Wuwuwu...Su Xiaoxiao, you are finally willing to accept me, you are finally willing to accept me, I am so happy, I am so happy, wuwuwu..."
Gu Jingzhou and Su Xiaoxiao hugged each other excitedly and cried like children.
Su Xiaoxiao patted his back gently.
The voice was extremely gentle and reminded him, "Okay, I know you've been feeling very miserable these past few decades. But, just cry for a while. There are passersby watching us."
"If you continue like this, people will think that I, an old lady, am bullying you, an old man."
"You have bullied me, and you have bullied me for most of my life..." Gu Jingzhou said with red eyes and sobbing in grievance.
At this moment, he felt both happy and sad.
After waiting for most of his life and guarding for most of his life, he finally waited for the day when his beloved woman accepted him again.
He felt like he was dreaming.
He was really afraid that once he woke up from the dream, everything would be shattered again.
