Chapter 8 : It's Useless Even If You Think About Him, He's Already Dead

Gu Nian clenched her fists, her eyes turned red, and the word "Yan Lui" touched the string in her heart that she was unwilling to pluck easily. She only called out "Mom", and she couldn't speak anymore.

Just because of the two words of Yan Lui, they kept circling in the bottom of her heart and on the tip of her tongue.

Gu Nian's lips trembled violently, and Mu Lanshu also felt that she had said something wrong, her face turned ugly, and she couldn't say any soft words to comfort Gu Nian.

She opened her mouth, unable to make a sound for a long time, Gu Nian turned around and ran back to the room.

When Mu Lanshu got up to chase after her, she heard the sound of Gu Nian slamming the door.

Mu Lanshu chased to the door, her heart tangled for a moment, then took a deep breath and turned the doorknob.

Fortunately, Gu Nian did not lock the door.

She opened the door and came in, and saw her lying sideways on the bed, bending her body into a bow shape, with her face buried in her arms.

Mu Lanshu sighed, walked to the bed, opened and closed her mouth several times, and then asked, "Do you still have Yan Lui in your heart?"

Gu Nian remained motionless, and said in a muffled voice, "No."

"It's better not to." Mu Lanshu pursed her lips, hardened her heart and said, "Even if you think about him, it's useless, he's already dead. Nian Nian, you can't be single all your life because of a man, right? "

Gu Nian curled up even tighter in silence.

Mu Lanshu simply sat down on the side of the bed: "I really thought that the kid Yan Lui was pretty good. But who would have thought that he would... disappear, and delay you for so many years. What is the point of being a policeman? It's dangerous. You're a girl. Listen to Mom, it's better than anything else to change jobs and be safe."

"I don't want to! My dad is also a policeman, so I want to be like my dad and be a good policeman." Gu Nian sat up, her fair and clean face was full of determination.

"But your dad doesn't—" Mu Lanshu raised her voice in agitation, and then stopped abruptly. Her face was unnatural for a moment, and then she slapped Gu Nian hard on the back, "You child, why are you so disobedient! Your father died young, and your father died not long after you were born. Just me alone has brought you up, and I did all of this, isn't it for your own good?"

"Mom, I know, but I like being a policeman, and I like helping others." Gu Nian whispered.

When Mu Lanshu mentioned that it was not easy to raise Gu Nian these years, her eyes turned red, and tears rolled out of her eyes.

Wiping her tears, she said, "I know you like to help people. Even if you do other jobs, you can also help. Before, my greatest wish was to raise you well. Now, my greatest wish is to see you getting married and happy. Nian Nian, Mom is getting old, who knows how many more years I can be with you? I'm afraid that after I'm gone, you will be alone and have no one to accompany you. Just let Mom be at peace, okay? You like being a policeman, okay, I won't force you."

Fortunately, Gu Nian was only a policeman at the police station, and it's not her turn to do those dangerous things.

At best, it was to help catch thieves, catch cats, and remind residents of fire and theft prevention and other miscellaneous things.

Mu Lanshu wiped her tears and said, "But for a blind date, you can go and have a look, okay? Your Aunt Su said that this time the man is a bank manager. He's 28 years old and has a stable career. Because of his qualities are very good, so the requirements are a bit high, that's why he's single until now. Otherwise, even if he's not married at this age, he would still have a girlfriend. It's really not easy for your Aunt Su to introduce him to you. You just have to let me feel at ease, go and meet him, talk to him, and behave well, okay?"

When she saw Mu Lanshu cried, Gu Nian felt bad too. But when she heard about the blind date, Chu Zhaoyang's face flashed in her mind inexplicably.

Suddenly, Gu Nian spat out a sentence: "Mom, I have someone I like."
