Chapter 32 - 31: Let Me Rub It for You
Gao Yu stopped in place, cocked his head, and saw Jiang An frown slightly and hook the corner of her mouth, then continued, "I don’t know what exactly happened between the two of you, but since you’re married, live well. Gao Chuan is someone who likes to keep things buried in his heart, and if you really want to understand him, you have to take it step by step."
The golden retriever circled around the two continuously, and Jiang An, listening to Gao Yu’s words, fell into deep thought.
"You can only see his heart when you get closer to him."
Dr. Gao has always been a godlike figure in her eyes, but she hadn’t expected that there was such a heart-wrenching story behind the man. Jiang An remembered how Gao Chuan was usually quiet and reticent, and suddenly envisioned the figure of the young man who had rescued the puppy more than a decade ago appearing before her.
Thinking of this, Jiang An suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she had naturally assumed since she knew him that Dr. Gao, an excellent person, would not have any worries. But upon careful recollection, even Dr. Gao, who seemed capable of everything, also had things that troubled him.
Gao Yu still stood upright next to Jiang An, saw the girl’s thoughtful look, and his eyes flickered. At first, when he heard about his younger brother’s marriage, he was also surprised, feeling that there must be something unusual about it, but seeing the pure-eyed Jiang An, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn’t know if she was Gao Chuan’s type, such an uncalculating girl surely wouldn’t let Gao Chuan suffer.
Gao Chuan’s flight back to the country landed three days later. The man, who had been immersed in the laboratory in Switzerland, had slept for a few hours on the plane, took a taxi home as soon as he got off the plane, and found that Jiang An was still not there. Dragging his exhausted body, Gao Chuan collapsed on the sofa instantly, probably barely able to keep his eyes open after so many days of non-stop work.
The room was eerily quiet, and soon snoring sounds rose. The man lay alone on the sofa and slowly drifted into sleep.
Unknowingly, an afternoon quietly passed away, dusk fell, the sky gradually darkened, clouds suddenly rolled at the horizon, twilight faded, and a crescent moon revealed a small sharp edge.
