Chapter 44 She Couldn't Bear It and Threw Up

Gu Baisheng's look was not pretty.

She frowned and glanced at that dark brown sugar ginger drink.

She could even see little chunks of ginger floating on the drink.

Thinking about the taste of ginger drinks, she felt like vomiting.

"I..."

"What?"

Song Shuang watched her response.

Gu Baisheng remembered how she tried very hard to deny her identity last night. Now she could only go forward with it. She held the glass and thanked him, "Thank you for your concern."

Then, to reassure Song Shuang,

she turned back and took a sip with a frown.

The drink was warm, going all the way down to her stomach from the throat, making her body warm.

But the taste was...

"Ou..."

She couldn't help but retch.

Song Shuang, who stood behind her, squinted, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing... No... Ou..."

She couldn't bear it anymore. She put the glass on the dining table and rushed into the bathroom while covering her mouth.

She then bent over by the toilet and started puking.

She didn't eat anything today. Now drinking something she didn't like upset her stomach, making it tumble.

She even puked out the gastric juice.

If someone she knew were here to see her puke, he would suspect that she was either pregnant or had stomach illness.

Yet Song Shuang followed her to the bathroom and watched her puking so hard that she almost collapsed. He didn't say anything.

He just frowned as if contemplating and turned back, leaving the bathroom.

Gu Baisheng had a nasty puke. When she was feeling less uncomfortable, she crawled back up from the toilet. She then supported her body to the washbasin and washed her hands and face.

When she got out of the bathroom, she took a deep breath and returned to the dining room.

The brown sugar ginger drink was poured down the drain.

There was a glass of warm milk with sugar instead on the table.

The microwave made a sound. Something was also warmed up.

She went over and opened the microwave. It was a ham sandwich.

Her appetite was back.

Looking around, she didn't see any sign of Song Shuang. She was relieved and carried the sandwich to the table to eat it.

She then drank the glass of milk and went back to bed.

...

Song Shuang flipped over at night. He raised his hand and rubbed in between his eyebrows.

The scene of Gu Baisheng puking hard by the toilet resurfaced in his mind.

Bai Shengsheng and Gu Baisheng were similar to a scary extent.

She was familiar with everything about Gu Baisheng.

He was not the only one who tested that.

Even Hu Hui and Qu Xiaobo noticed it.

He probed several times and found that she hated the same things as Gu Baisheng.

Was she pretending?

Or was she just like that?

Who was she?

The more Song Shuang thought about it, the more his thoughts drifted away.

Soon he started thinking about some random things.

Among those things, there was the scene of Bai Shengsheng puking by the toilet. Half of her collarbone and her beautiful neck couldn't be hidden by her big pajama.

Last night.

He left a string of kisses along that beautiful collarbone and fair neck.

Gu Baisheng also scratched his neck.

Thinking about the chaotic night, Song Shuang turned a bit impulsive.

He couldn't bear it anymore. He lifted his duvet and entered the bathroom.

...

The next morning.

Song Shuang sneezed.

Gu Baisheng, who was warming milk in the kitchen, glanced at the dining room curiously and asked him, "Did you catch a cold?"

Song Shuang frowned with his long eyebrows, "None of your business."

"Fine." Gu Baisheng was not angry at Song Shuang's attitude. She poured the warmed milk from the pot into the glass. She took it out and put it beside Song Shuang's hand. She then put another glass in front of herself, "You can drink one."

Song Shuang looked up at her.

Gu Baisheng smiled, "This is my repayment for your warm milk last night."

Song Shuang squinted at the glass of milk beside his hand and looked at the time on his phone, "I'm in a rush."

Then he stood up without touching the glass of milk. He took his coat and car keys and left.

Gu Baisheng looked at the glass of milk on the table. She wanted to make up to him, so she warmed it. Her mouth twitched. She was a bit helpless.

Song Shuang had never touched anything she made.

He already touched her. Why was he holding on to this boundary he drew?

Was he afraid that she might hang on to him?

She already said that she wouldn't ask him to take responsibility. Why was he still so afraid of her?

Gu Baisheng shook her head. She finished her milk and decided to drink Song Shuang's.

At this moment, the doorbell outside the house rang.

Gu Baisheng looked at the door curiously.

"Who would come now?"

She was a bit afraid that it was Lin Fengya, her mother-in-law.

Song Shuang had just moved over here and didn't want others to know he was with her, as they married in secret. So, he would never tell others that he lived in Jinshayuan now.

Only Song Family knew this address. No one else did.

Thinking about dealing with her exhausting mother-in-law, Gu Baisheng took a deep breath. After giving herself sufficient mental preparation, she opened the door.

"Shengsheng!"

A person attacked her with a cheerful voice and a big hug when she opened the door.

Gu Baisheng was hugged by the person who jumped in at the door, and her eyelids twitched a little.

She turned around and looked at the hairy head next to her.

The hairy head also turned and looked at her with shining eyes.

"What? Are you surprised? Did you see this coming?"

Gu Baisheng looked at Qu Xiaobo who threw herself at her. She didn't know whether she was gullible or foolish.

She only had dinner with her the day before yesterday and gave her a secret signal. Yet Qu Xiaobo believed she was Gu Baisheng?

Qu Xiaobo saw Gu Baisheng looking at her with a weird look. She asked, "What? Why are you staring at me so strangely?"

"Miss Qu..."

"Call me Bobo." Qu Xiaobo opened Gu Baisheng's shoe cabinet as if she was familiar with her home. She took out the slippers prepared for the guest and changed her shoes. She then showed Gu Baisheng the cake box she carried in her hand, "I bought you Black Forest Cake from a bakery!"

Gu Baisheng's mouth moved, "Bobo..."

"Enough with the talk. Have some cake."

Qu Xiaobo held her arm without any problem and dragged her to sit down on the sofa in the living room. She then opened the box and took out two pieces of Black Forest Cake.

The cake had a really nice look.

Gu Baisheng always liked to eat sweet food to replenish her energy during her period.

Now seeing the cake Qu Xiaobo brought, she immediately had an appetite.

Qu Xiaobo saw her eyes shining, and she was proud, "Even though you changed a body, you didn't change your taste. I bought your favorite cake. Aren't you moved?"

Gu Baisheng thought she was not just moved. She was so moved that her heart might explode.

But how could Qu Xiaobo accept the fact that she changed her body so easily?

"You..."

Gu Baisheng looked at Qu Xiaobo with a complicated look.

Qu Xiaobo's innocent look changed for an instant. As if understanding what Gu Baisheng wanted to ask, she said, "You're wondering why I could accept the fact that you changed a body without a problem, right?"

Gu Baisheng nodded.

Qu Xiaobo fell silent for a while. The joyful look on her face disappeared. She turned sad, "Actually, honestly, I suspected that you might be lying."

Gu Baisheng blinked.

Any person with a right mind wouldn't believe nonsense like reviving in a different guise.

"But only I and Shengsheng knew what you said to me. I didn't even tell Zhang Kai who was the closest to me."

Qu Xiaobo and Gu Baisheng were best friends.

They were the kind of best friends that would kick a man out of their world if they fell for this man at the same time.

No matter when and no matter what happened, they wouldn't betray each other.

They would only try to protect each other.

So only Qu Xiaobo and Gu Baisheng knew their secrets.

"I can't live without Gu Baisheng, so I believe you are Gu Baisheng."

Qu Xiaobo looked at her. There was a thin layer of tears in her eyes.

Gu Baisheng knew Qu Xiaobo.

Her emotions came and went.

She could cry when she wanted to or laugh when she felt like it.

She looked like she didn't care much on the surface, but she was quite a careful and emotional person inside.

It was wonderful that she believed Bai Shengsheng was Gu Baisheng.

No matter how or why she believed it.

It was enough that she trusted Gu Baisheng.

And Gu Baisheng didn't lie. She was Gu Baisheng.

"Thank you."

Gu Baisheng smiled. She raised her hand and wiped the tears off Qu Xiaobo's eyes.

Qu Xiaobo raised her hand and grabbed Gu Baisheng's hand, "I won't ask you why you have changed your body, so promise me, don't put yourself in danger again, ok?"

Gu Baisheng blinked her eyes, "What danger?"

"Don't do stupid things. Don't go to dangerous places again and die. Auntie Hu and I couldn't take it. Song Shuang couldn't take it either."

Gu Baisheng understood how Hu Hui and Qu Xiaobo couldn't take it.

But she was surprised to hear Song Shuang couldn't take it either.

"Song Shuang..."

Mentioning Song Shuang, Gu Baisheng felt a bit bitter.

"After you died, Song Shuang spent two days in Hancheng. It was raining during that time, and the search and rescue work was delayed. They could only hire people to dig where you were buried. Song Shuang kept digging there, even when other people were resting. He went on for two days without drinking, eating, or resting. When your body was dug out, he finally stopped."

Gu Baisheng was dazed.

She suddenly remembered the dream she had not so long ago.

In her dream, Song Shuang kneeled on the ruins under the cyan sky and in the rain. He dug out those tiles, bricks, and stones with his bare hands. His fingernails broke, and his hands were covered by wounds.

Yet he was like a machine that didn't understand pain. He kept digging numbly.

He kept digging...

She tightened her fingers and felt sudden chest pain. The pain spread all over her body.
