Chapter 261 If you're crippled, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life.
Zhao Tian is a good girl, but in Gu Zhendong's heart, he has always regarded Zhao Tian as a younger sister.
I didn't think about it from any other angle.
Gu Zhendong only truly realized that Zhao Tian liked him after his leg was crippled.
At that time, Gu Zhendong had a wife who had run away from home, so of course he would refuse Zhao Tian.
Now that I'm divorced, my leg is still disabled, but it will fully recover in the future.
It's just that... being divorced with a child, I'm really not good enough for Zhao Tian.
Gu Zhendong was also afraid that he would ruin Zhao Tian's life.
Gu Nan sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at Gu Zhendong's conflicted expression, and sighed helplessly.
"It's your own business, no one else can make decisions for you. If you haven't figured it out yet, think about it slowly and carefully." Gu Nan said, then got up and left Gu Zhendong's room.
Gu Nan knew that matters of the heart could only be understood by the people involved themselves.
So he didn't say anything more to Gu Zhendong.
Instead of wasting this time, why not go find your own girl?
As Gu Nan came out of Gu Zhendong's room, he was greeted by Zhao Tian.
"Is Brother Gu in his room?" Zhao Tian asked Gu Nan.
Gu Nan nodded and stepped aside to let Zhao Tian pass.
Zhao Tian nodded to Gu Nan and stood at Gu Zhendong's door.
After taking a deep breath, I stepped inside.
Gu Nan, on the other hand, went back to his room.
From the doorway of the room, you could hear Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi laughing as they chatted.
It's clear that the two of them were having a very pleasant conversation.
Gu Nan thought for a moment, but decided not to go in and disturb the two girls' private conversation.
Instead, he stood over in the kitchen chopping wood.
During this period, Gu Nan has been busy with various matters, and the amount of firewood has noticeably decreased.
Now that I have some time, I can catch up on some of it.
Gu Zhendong was sitting against the wall, deep in thought.
Then I heard a noise at my own door.
The sound of footsteps came.
"Didn't you tell me to think about it myself? Why are you back again?" Gu Zhendong muttered to himself.
As it turned out, the person who lifted the curtain and entered was not Gu Nan.
The sound stopped instantly.
"Brother Gu." Zhao Tian called out as she entered, standing about a meter away from the earthen bed.
"Hmm." Gu Zhendong hadn't even sorted out his thoughts when Zhao Tian arrived.
"Please sit down," Gu Zhendong said to Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian nodded and sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
After taking another deep breath, Zhao Tian slowly spoke.
"Brother Gu, I have something I want to ask you." Zhao Tian tried her best to control her voice and keep it calm.
She was really nervous; her palms were sweating.
Gu Zhendong looked at the little girl he used to treat like a younger sister, her nervous expression, and a certain part of his heart was touched.
“Go ahead,” Gu Zhendong replied.
Zhao Tian took another deep breath before asking the question she wanted to ask.
“Brother Gu, I like you. I’ve liked you since I was a child. When I was bullied by the other kids in the village, you were the one who protected me.”
“I’ve liked you ever since then.”
"As a result, because I didn't tell you sooner, you ended up marrying someone else."
"Now that you're divorced, I wonder if you can give me a chance to get to know you. If you really, really don't like me, I'll leave on my own."
Zhao Tian's voice was actually trembling, even though she tried her best to control herself.
But you could still tell from her voice that she was very nervous.
Gu Zhendong was somewhat moved when he saw Zhao Tian speaking to him like that.
“But I’ve always thought of you as a younger sister,” Gu Zhendong said.
Zhao Tian felt a little dejected after hearing these words.
"I know……"
Seeing Zhao Tian lower her head, Gu Zhendong felt a little uncomfortable.
He hasn't figured out exactly how he feels about Zhao Tian, so he can't make a rash decision.
“I think you should find a better young man, while I’m so much older than you, divorced with a child, and my leg…”
Before Gu Zhendong could finish speaking, Zhao Tian immediately interrupted him.
"I really like you and want to be with you. Even if your legs are crippled for the rest of your life, I will take care of you!" Zhao Tian said bravely.
He had a serious and earnest expression.
Gu Zhendong was surprised by Zhao Tian's words.
His beloved wife left him resolutely when she learned that she would be disabled for the rest of her life.
And Zhao Tian... when she learned that she would be disabled for the rest of her life, she actually wanted to take care of herself.
Without comparison, there is no difference.
Gu Zhendong was moved by Zhao Tian's words.
However, he knew that being moved was not love, and he could not act rashly because of a momentary feeling of being moved.
"I appreciate you saying that, you are indeed a good girl, but I don't have any plans to date or get married right now, and I hope you can understand." After saying that, Gu Zhendong's gaze fell on his legs.
Zhao Tian understood what Gu Zhendong meant.
"It's your opinion that you don't like me, but it's my opinion that I like you."
"Even if you don't accept me now, it's okay. I'll wait until you can accept me." Zhao Tian's mind was made up.
In fact, Zhao Tian felt that Gu Zhendong did not dislike her; it was just that the two of them missed each other once.
If Zhao Tian were certain that Gu Zhendong truly didn't like her, she wouldn't have persisted in pursuing him relentlessly.
She has her pride and won't do anything unreasonable.
The reason Zhao Tian is persisting is that she thinks Gu Zhendong might like her, but he can't accept her because he's disabled and has a child.
Therefore, Zhao Tian was willing to continue waiting.
"If one day you really find me annoying, or if you're sure you won't like me, you can tell me, and I won't bother you anymore," Zhao Tian continued.
Looking at Zhao Tian like this, Gu Zhendong felt a strange emotion rising in his heart.
Such a wonderful young woman, she didn't mind her legs, she didn't mind being divorced and raising a child.
Shouldn't we give both sides a chance?
"Thank you for your interest, I will consider it carefully," Gu Zhendong replied.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tian nodded, then smiled and left Gu Zhendong's room.
Zhao Tian believes that as long as two people like each other, nothing else matters.
Gu Zhendong needs to figure out whether his feelings for Zhao Tian are romantic love or familial affection.
Perhaps once my leg heals, the burden on my mind won't be so heavy.
After leaving Gu Zhendong's room, Zhao Tian said goodbye to Gu's mother and then left.
In the evening, the villagers of Kaoshan Village spread the word that Kaoshan Village was going to elect a village chief, and anyone who wanted to run for village chief could report to Jiang Aiguo.
