Chapter 287: A Little Silly
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi admired the bravery of her predecessor now. The woman had loved Gong Zhan so much that she had not left herself any room for retreat. Such courage was not something everyone possessed, and Gu Zi admitted she lacked it too.
Gu Zi had married Su Shen. Over the days they spent together, she saw his kindness towards her. She liked Su Shen, his appearance, his personality, and even more so, the euphoria he brought her. She enjoyed their intimate moments.
However, if she were asked to sacrifice her life for Su Shen, Gu Zi couldn’t do it, at least not at the moment.
Gu Zi restored the paper notes to their original form, placing the five paper stars back into the compartment.
If her predecessor believed that this place should hold memories that belonged solely to her, then Gu Zi chose to respect it absolutely.
Yet, Gu Zi found it strange. Why couldn’t she find any memories of the predecessor placing the stars there?
Gu Zi treated the stars as her predecessor, saying to them, “Perhaps you committed suicide because you were somewhat unwilling to let go, hence my transmigration into this book, right? Your heart died, wanting someone to continue living for you, so I came.”
Gu Zi, in the real world, was a worker without any goals, a woman in her thirties without love or a successful career. Without transmigration, she would probably have led a muddled life.
At this point, Gu Zi was more convinced that her transmigration into the predecessor’s body had been arranged by fate.
She zipped up the compartment and took out a book from the box titled “Foreign Travel Diary”.
This book was what Gu Zi had taken from the predecessor’s bedside. It was a bilingual book in Chinese and English. Opening it revealed densely packed reading notes. It was the tool book the predecessor had used when she first started learning English.
On the first page of the book was a sentence written by the predecessor: I will definitely go!
Gu Zi looked at the notes, flipping through the pages, and couldn’t help but smile. Even though they lived in different eras, her and the predecessor’s dreams were surprisingly similar.
Gu Zi’s dream in her previous life was also to study or travel abroad. She felt that foreign lands held the poetry and distance she desired.
She said, “I promise you, when I go abroad, I will take you with me.”
The predecessor was no longer here, but Gu Zits body, these five stars, this book, they could all represent the predecessor.
The rejection rate for going abroad in this era was very high. It wasn’t guaranteed that you could go abroad just because you had money or good grades. But Gu Zi wasn’t afraid, because her vitality had returned. As long as it was something she wanted to do, she would definitely do it. What she needed to do now was to prepare for the exam.
Su Shen had been searching for a while before he found Gu Zi in the room he used to live in.
She was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book. Having taken a bath, her hair was casually spread out behind her. A lock of hair by her ear was held in place by a large hairpin. This casual appearance exuded a natural and artistic beauty.
She was indeed beautiful this way, her nude-colored nightgown revealing large hints of fair skin.
The bulging chest area filled the top of the dress, revealing an impressive cleavage. The thin waist contrasted sharply with it, especially loose and wide. Her slender yet plump legs hung over the edge of the bed, very attractive.
He glanced at the book she was reading and asked, ‘Why are you suddenly studying English?”
Gu Zi looked up at him, then naturally leaned on his shoulder, saying, “I’m looking at the notes I made when I was learning English. I think I was a bit silly back then. ”
What Gu Zi referred to was the predecessor. She was brave, but also foolish.
Gong Zhan was excellent, but he wasn’t worth her deep love.
She loved Gong Zhan so much, but after the incident, Gong Zhan never spoke a word for her. This kind of one-sided love, Gu Zi felt, only a fool could persist.
Su Shen looked at her for a while and asked, “Why do you say that?”
From Su Shen’s perspective, he only knew that Gu Zi was talking about herself. Perhaps this book was about someone’s memories. She and Gong Zhan had known each other since childhood and had been engaged early. Such a person in her heart might be hard to erase, and it was inevitable to occasionally think of him.
Su Shen told himself that as long as Gu Zi was his wife now, that was enough. One day, Gu Zits heart would only have him.
Gu Zi said, “Probably because the input and output were not proportional, so I think I was quite silly before. I won’t be like that now.”
Since it was the predecessor’s experience, Gu Zi felt that if she couldn’t erase it, she might as well admit it openly..
