“How long are you going to stay there?” Lu Heting asked. He felt a little frustrated when he heard the news, and his brows furrowed.
When Su Bei disappeared for five years, she lived in the United States. He felt restless when she mentioned that country.
It suddenly reminded him of what he had gone through during those years that she disappeared. During those times, he hoped that he would find her. But he failed again and again until he felt hopeless.
Gun Gun held Su Bei’s thigh and asked, “Bei Bei, when are you coming back?”
“I have to stay there for at least four or five days, two weeks at most,” Su Bei replied, stroking his little head to comfort him.
The little boy felt that it was too long. Actually, he already couldn’t bear to be apart from her even for a day. He held her leg tightly as tears streamed down his cheeks.
Su Bei whispered something to his ear, still trying to comfort him.
It seemed that they had totally forgotten that Lu Heting was there. He was also giving off a gloomy aura, and no one knew what he really felt.
He sat on the sofa, and it was difficult to see the expression on his face. Su Bei saw that his face darkened, but she thought that it was only a shadow cast by the dim light on him.
Finally, Gun Gun stopped crying. But when she went to the room to pack her things, he followed behind her like a little tail.
“Bei Bei, take this tumbler with you. When you get there, don’t forget to drink more water every day. Bring this hat too. It will protect you from the sun. And oh, don’t forget the Pikachu T-shirt. I know it’s your favorite,” Gun Gun said, while running back and forth behind Su Bei.
In the past, Su Bei seldom felt sad when she traveled to other places for work because Da Bao was always independent. In fact, he was the one encouraging her to go out often and make more friends.
But this time it was different. As Gun Gun helped her pack, tears kept rolling down his cheeks. Seeing this, all she could do was pacify him. “Gun Gun, I’ll be back soon, okay?”
“Okay.” Gun Gun whispered to himself, “Don’t cry. Don’t cry.”
Su Bei kissed him on the face several times until he finally laughed. If it was not inconvenient to work abroad, she really wanted to take him with her.
The next day, Gun Gun saw Su Bei off the house. When she was out of his sight, he ran back to his room and threw himself on the bed, silently suffering the sadness of parting.
Lu Heting picked him up and whispered, “I’m going on a business trip too.”
“Okay.” Gun Gun didn’t care whether Lu Heting went away or not. After all, Lu Heting often went on business trips.
But with Su Bei, it was a big deal for him that she went away.
Lu Heting felt a pang in his heart. Su Bei went on a business trip, but she didn’t feel sad leaving him. Now that he was about to travel for business, Gun Gun didn’t feel sad that he was leaving.
“Boys don’t easily shed tears,” he said, looking at Gun Gun.
Gun Gun looked up at him and said in a childish voice, “You don’t know how hard it is to be separated from the girl you like.”
Of course, Lu Heting knew how it felt. In fact, he knew it better than Gun Gun.
He said in a low voice, “A poet said that there is nothing more charming on the neck of a young man than the brilliant jewel of professionalism. Don’t you want to see Bei Bei more charming?”
Finally, Gun Gun nodded.
After entrusting Gun Gun to Aunt Chen, Lu Heting drove straight to the airport.
Soon, Su Bei and Lv Shan also arrived at the airport.
They didn’t expect to run into Su Huixian, Du Luo, and Qiu Minxuan there.
Walking hand in hand, Su Huixian and Du Luo looked so intimate, whispering to each other and laughing. They wore lovers’ baseball caps.
When they saw Su Bei, they all stopped in their tracks, slightly surprised.
Qiu Minxuan took a few steps forward and said with a smile, “Su Bei, are you going to the United States too? Let me guess. You’re going to audition for Jin Xiu brand ambassador, right? Well, I’m so sorry to tell you, but they have already chosen Huixian.”
