Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Is it Really Him?
Actually, my vision wasn’t very clear at the time because of the alcohol, I felt like I was stepping on cotton, or as if walking among the clouds.
I vaguely saw a figure on the couch, wearing a black suit…
I reached out and rubbed my eyes.
He was still there!
He turned his head to look at me.
And he even called out to me, “Ayun!”
Uh!
I really must be seeing a ghost!
I couldn’t believe I was seeing Gu Yuanzhou!
I reached out and rubbed my eyes again, and when I looked intently, the figure on the couch was gone.
However, a moment later, a glass of water was handed in front of me.
“Thirsty, huh? Drink these!”
His familiar voice rang out, I forgot to take the glass and just looked at him.
He was very close to me at that moment.
Within my reach.
I slowly reached out to him, touched his cheek, yes, I felt his face, not just air.
He was tangible, not a ghost!
“Gu Yuanzhou, is it really you?”
I asked him directly.
“Do you hope it’s me?”
He gave a bitter smile.
I nodded vigorously,
“Of course, I hope it’s you… I’ve been living here without moving out because I heard the master say, in places with heavy Yin energy, as long as the ashes and ancestral tablet are constantly worshipped, you can see the deceased.”
Gu Yuanzhou sighed, his laugh somewhat awkward,
“How can you wish to see me when you hate me so much, wishing I were dead?”
“I’m sorry, Gu Yuanzhou, I misunderstood you. I’m really sorry, I never thought that your death would make me so sad.”
At that thought, sorrow welled up inside me, and tears involuntarily fell.
He reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of my eyes, trying to comfort me, “I know! I forgive you!”
All the sadness and despair in the depths of my heart over this period of time.
Seeing him at that instant was like the wind blowing across a cloudy sky, the atmosphere instantly cleared up.
I couldn’t help but throw myself into his arms and hug him tightly.
“Gu Yuanzhou, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!”
“Silly, stop crying, your eyes will swell and you won’t look good.”
“Gu Yuanzhou, am I dreaming?”
“Mhm, yes, is it a good dream?”
“Yes… I’ve been dreaming all this time, I wanted to see you in my dreams, but I couldn’t! I saw your figure in my dreams, I chased desperately, I wanted to catch up to you. But I couldn’t catch up, and now, finally, I can.”
I mumbled to myself in a low voice.
If this is a dream.
Then this is the best dream I’ve had in the past six months.
I didn’t even want to wake up.
The next morning.
The ring of my cellphone woke me up from the dream.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was already light outside.
I was lying on the living room couch, my phone had fallen to the ground, I picked it up and saw it was Wenya calling.
“Are you awake yet, beauty?”
“Uh, woke up!”
I picked up my cell phone and slowly got to my feet, my temples still throbbing from the hangover.
I walked to the window and pulled back the curtains.
I could see the mountaintops in the distance bathed in sunlight, with lush forests and lots of birds chirping away.
A new day had begun.
“Ayun, did you sleep well last night?”
“Not too bad!”
“Hey, I’ve been worried about you, worried it’s not safe for you to be alone over there. Last night I was discussing with Su Peisheng whether you should rent an apartment in the city. It’s not good for you to live in such a remote place. Just think, you’re a woman, and if some villain were to target you on a dark and windy night, there would be no help from heaven or earth, it’s especially dangerous.”
“Wenya, your idea is very good! But I think I’ll stay here for now, alright, enough said, I need to get ready and head to the company soon.”
After hanging up the phone, I sat on the sofa for a long time.
Only then did I vaguely remember that last night, I seemed to have dreamt of Gu Yuanzhou.
He was sitting right here, and he had held me for a very long time.
It felt so incredibly real.
I got up and walked over to the memorial altar, lighting a new stick of incense for him.
“Gu Yuanzhou, will you come to my dreams tonight again, okay?”
I closed my eyes, mumbling earnestly.
Although it felt like I was deceiving myself, this might be the only way I could see him again.
Now that the company was officially open, I had no more excuses to slack off.
I washed up and went straight to the office.
As soon as I entered the company, I saw Jia Yuyan waiting for me in the reception room early in the morning,
“Sister Song!”
“Yuyan, aren’t you working today? What are you doing here?”
Jia Yuyan was holding a bunch of documents, “Sister Song, I want to talk to you about something!”
“Hmm, let’s go to my office!”
“Okay!”
Jia Yuyan followed me, looking around curiously, “Sister Song, this place looks a lot like Tianjiao Company!”
“What looks similar?”
“The layout of the office, and the aura of the employees, that professional atmosphere, totally the same.”
I opened the door to my office and drew back the curtains, letting the sunlight pour in.
This president’s office was previously used by Gu Yuanzhou for work, and now that I’ve moved here, I’m the one mainly using it.
Strangely enough, every time I sat in this office chair, my mood seemed to settle down a lot.
“Coffee’s over there, and so is the tea, take whatever you like!”
“Alright!”
Jia Yuyan made herself a cup of coffee without ceremony, and then poured one for me. When she lifted her coffee cup, she glanced around the room.
“Actually, I really like the philosophy of Zhenyi Company!”
“Pfft, Yuyan, did you come here to talk about something today?”
Jia Yuyan dumped the documents she was holding onto the desk, “Sister Song, this is my job application! Take a look, could you take me in?”
I was slightly surprised upon hearing this, and after opening the folder, it indeed contained her job application letter.
Her request was simple; she was seeking a position similar to the one she had at Tianjiao Company, and she hadn’t even filled in her expected salary, leaving it blank.
“What, are you here to bail me out?”
“No! I just wanted to change my working environment… The thing is, I’ve been following you and got used to it. Now that you’re gone, I feel lost, so please take me in!”
I squinted at her, “Don’t give me that. After I left, you became the leader of those projects. If I’m not mistaken, Ding Xiao must have promoted and given you a raise by now. Your future is bright; why mix in here?”
“Yeah, Sister Song really has sharp eyes. I did indeed get a promotion and a raise, but I still want to follow you!”
I shook my head and tossed the job application back to her, “Be honest, did he send you?”
