Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 137 - Run with Me

Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Run with Me

So, Gu Qiaoqiao attributed Qin Yize’s actions today to his genuine liking of the Wolf’s Fang Amulet.

Honestly, that Wolf’s Fang really suited him.

Gu Qiaoqiao closed her eyes and quickly shifted her thoughts, starting to plan what to buy in the town for tomorrow.

In her previous life, there was no such thing as hosting guests, which could have been related to neither of them knowing how to cook.

Or perhaps it was related to her mood at the time.

In any case, she had never hosted guests before.

In this life, since Qin Yize had this intention, it was indeed necessary to plan properly.

After all, it was the custom here that family members would host guests when they visited.

That’s just how it is with our people; many times, relationships are fostered through eating and drinking together.

With potatoes and cabbages in the house and wild vegetables in the garden, actually, just by buying some more meat, a variety of dishes could be made.

Moreover, people nowadays don’t have that much grease in their bellies, who doesn’t like to eat meat?

As she thought, Gu Qiaoqiao drifted off into a sleepy haze.

And Qin Yize, lying next door, felt his palm still carried the unique fragrance that belonged to Gu Qiaoqiao.

Over his chest, the Wolf’s Fang Amulet lay quietly there.

It was a sensation both cool and warm.

Very comfortable.

Suddenly, he remembered the moment he smiled at her, that instant of dazedness on Gu Qiaoqiao’s face.

In his memory, such sincere smiles from him were not common.

And it was the first time that instead of feeling annoyed by a girl’s dazed gaze, deep in his heart, he felt a hint of pleasure.

It was also the first time that Qin Yize felt having a little woman by his side was actually quite nice.

Of course, the precondition was that the person was Gu Qiaoqiao.

Qin Yize knew his feelings had changed at some moment; perhaps it was her focused expression when she was carving, the ruthlessness she displayed against the traffickers, her helpless demeanor, or maybe it was her accurate and sharp actions when facing the wild wolf.

He couldn’t be sure which one it was, and since he couldn’t be certain, he couldn’t let Gu Qiaoqiao fly alone outside.

Therefore, she had to come back, back to his side, so he could figure out what exactly had changed inside him.

And now, she had come back, not only cooking for him but also carving an amulet for him.

He really liked it.

Liked the amulet, liked the food she cooked.

He also liked listening to her occasional nonsense.

At this moment, Qin Yize felt a long-frozen place in his heart seemed to be silently melting.

And he was not resistant to this feeling.

The moonlight was like water, gentle yet domineering, encompassing the earth and sky.

If one listened carefully, they could hear the sound of the river’s flow.

The nights in Border City were cold, but with a hidden warmth.

Despite the long night, dawn would always arrive as promised.

Gu Qiaoqiao woke up very early, but due to the geographical location, it was already bright outside.

It was just after five in the morning, and it seemed like the sun was about to come up.

Gu Qiaoqiao dressed and stepped out of the bedroom, thinking Qin Yize was still asleep, only to find him about to leave the house.

And in that moment of eye contact, it seemed as if something had changed a little.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly avoided Qin Yize’s gaze,

while Qin Yize’s cold brows and eyes shifted slightly, but he did not look away. After a few breaths, he spoke lightly, “You’re up early today.”

Before Gu Qiaoqiao could reply, Qin Yize continued, “Come run with me.”

Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned, hastily shaking her head, “I won’t go.”

Who goes running early in the morning?

She definitely didn’t want to.

With that time, she’d rather go back to the bedroom and catch up on some sleep.

So, Gu Qiaoqiao declined very decisively.

Without leaving any room for negotiation.

Qin Yize gave a disdainful glance at this lazy girl, who didn’t like to exercise at all—a very bad habit.

This age was precisely the time for growing her body.

Suddenly, Qin Yize felt a sense of responsibility.

It was a very warm sense of responsibility.

He really wanted to just pull Gu Qiaoqiao out of the door and go jogging, but he knew it was impractical; this girl could be incredibly stubborn.

If she really didn’t want to go, was he supposed to carry her on his back and go jogging?

Thinking of that scene, the corners of Qin Yize’s mouth slightly curled up, and a dim light flickered through his starry eyes. He casually asked Gu Qiaoqiao, “You really won’t go?”

“No,” Gu Qiaoqiao said with finality.

To demonstrate her resolve, Gu Qiaoqiao turned to enter the bedroom.

Qin Yize spoke slowly and deliberately, “Don’t you want to go check out the place with the stones? If we jog there, it will take about ten minutes…”

With a languid tone and an indifferent expression, Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize with complicated eyes.

Then, without hesitation or consideration, she went to put on her shoes, thinking resentfully as she did so that aside from this, Qin Yize shouldn’t have any other bones to offer her.

Qin Yize’s eyebrows twitched subtly, and a shallow smile crossed the depths of his eyes. Afterward, he led a dressed and shoed Gu Qiaoqiao out the door.

The base was originally built beside Da Jiang, but Dongjiang was a controlled area, and no one was allowed to enter without an escort.

That was the reason why those stones had remained unscathed in her past life.

Gu Qiaoqiao had always been concerned about the remaining stones.

However, she knew that Da Jiang had just thawed not long ago, and unlike the low water levels in September, the water was at its highest level at this time, and the river water was still very cold, so going into the water wasn’t practical.

But when summer came, she was definitely going to retrieve those leftover stones.

And if she could get an early look now, that would be very good too.

She just had never thought of using jogging as a means to get there.

However, as she jogged, Gu Qiaoqiao realized the morning air was indeed extraordinarily fresh.

Considering that this lazy girl was jogging for the first time, Qin Yize kept a slow pace, and he found that jogging with Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to be more interesting than running alone.

He thought, as long as he was at home, he’d have to find a way to get her out. But what excuse should he use tomorrow? He really needed to give that some thought.

Without realizing it, they had reached the embankment of Dongjiang.

Beneath them was a beach covered in pebbles.

Not far away was the rolling river water, which even in the tranquil early morning, made quite a startling roar.

The river water surged ceaselessly, unknown where it came from and where it was heading.

And standing by the river, one could feel as insignificant as those pebbles.

Gu Qiaoqiao sincerely said, “The riverside is really nice. After breathing in the air here, it feels like all worries are gone.”

Qin Yize simply smiled without saying a word.

Then he stretched his long, strong body and said to Gu Qiaoqiao, who seemed still captivated by the place, “You should start jogging every day from tomorrow on.”

“Uh…” Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t outright refuse this time, but she said with a pained expression, “I definitely won’t be able to get up.”

This lazy girl.

Just knew that without motivation it wouldn’t work.

But the motivation in front of her had already been used; what should he use next?

Qin Yize was somewhat troubled.

In his mind, he wished Gu Qiaoqiao were one of his security team members back home.

He’d just need to throw them a sharp look, and everything would be settled.
