Chapter 143 – It’s like raising a daughter (2)

“I will massage your acupoints for you, it will make you feel better.” 

Gu Ye grabbed her hand and pinched it at the point between her thumb and forefinger. The strength he used was neither light nor heavy, which was just right.

Chu Qiao felt that the nausea in her chest had improved slightly, so she said, “It’s better now.” 

“I will massage it again, you can sleep for a while, and I will let you know when we get there.” 

Gu Ye was reluctant to let go, Chu Qiao’s little hand had been pinched by him many times in his dreams, but it was the first time in reality.

It was so soft and flexible, as if there were no bones. He didn’t dare to exert force, for fear of hurting her. Such a small hand, it was so white and so beautiful. 

Chu Qiao didn’t know what this guy was thinking. She had no strength at all, and she couldn’t even open her eyes. She leaned against Gu Ye and closed her eyes to relax, but she fell asleep after closing her eyes. Her head tilted and fell into Gu Ye’s arms. 

Gu Ye felt jittery because of touching her little hand. He smelled a delicate fragrance in his nose, a soft and warm body in his arms. His heartbeat immediately stopped, and he became completely dumbfounded.

But he soon came to his senses, a sense of ecstasy surged into his heart. He carefully supported Chu Qiao and let her lie on his lap, so that she could sleep more comfortably. 

The road was very bumpy, and the bus swayed like a cradle. Chu Qiao slept so soundly that she didn’t even realize that she was lying in Gu Ye’s arms. 

Seeing Gu Ye’s caring attitude, the passengers next to him smiled heartily, and an uncle asked in a low voice, “Just got married?” 

Gu Ye was stunned for a moment, he blushed so brightly, and nodded. He felt his heart blossomed. He and Qiao Qiao looked like an ideal couple of talented man and beautiful woman, such a match made in heaven, that even outsiders could see. 

“Just at first glance, I already knew that you were a newlywed. Otherwise you wouldn’t be so close to each other.” The uncle proudly bragged to the people around him. If they had been married for several years, they wouldn’t even bother to talk to each other when they went out. How could they be so affectionate? 

Gu Ye lowered his head and looked at Chu Qiao lying on his lap, her mouth slightly open, her eyelashes were lush and long like brushes. Her hand was originally on his lap, but as the bus bumped, it slid down.

Gu Ye quickly caught it and held it in his hand. He couldn’t bear to let it go. Now he only hoped that this bus would not stop, and it would be good if it could last for a lifetime. 

But the shuttle bus would arrive at Shuangqiao Commune soon, which was Chu Qiao’s waigong’s1 house. The conductor shouted loudly, “Shuangqiao Commune is about to arrive, get ready to get off ah!” 

1Waigong (外公) : maternal grandfather / mother’s father. 

Chu Qiao was still sleeping, so Gu Ye had no choice but to wake her up no matter how reluctant he was. He saw the long eyelashes trembling gently, which made Gu Ye’s heart melt like water. It was so soft that it made him completely in a mess.

He had never felt like this before. It felt like he suddenly had the feeling of raising a daughter. He really wanted to give all the best things in the world to Chu Qiao in his arms, and build her the strongest castle with everything in it, so that no one could hurt her. 

“We’ll have to get off the bus soon.” 

Gu Ye couldn’t help but lower his voice, and Chu Qiao finally woke up completely. She looked around, only to realize that she had fallen asleep lying on Gu Ye’s lap. She blushed shyly, and quickly straightened up. Gu Ye was still saying in her ear, “You slipped down just now, I didn’t dare to move.” 

“The bus is too bumpy.”

Chu Qiao explained in a low voice that she didn’t do it on purpose, it was the fault of the bus. 

Gu Ye grinned, he wished that the bus bumped even more. The bus stopped, and it arrived at the Shuangqiao Commune.

In addition to Chu Qiao and the others, there were two other passengers getting off the bus. One was the uncle who had spoken before, and the other was an aunt in her forties. They obviously knew each other, and they couldn’t help but look at Chu Qiao and the others. 

“Are you Captain Sun’s granddaughter?” The uncle asked hesitantly.
