After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

All the cheers from the surrounding people could no longer be heard.

Whether it was the grateful gazes or the ambiguous looks from the young women in the disaster area, Gu Tianyou couldn't see any of it.

All he could hear was the crackling of matches burning beside him.

What can be seen is the smile on the woman's lips.

He hadn't seen a woman smile at him for a very long time.

He couldn't even remember the last time he saw a woman smile.

"Brother, this is delicious, you should try it."

Xiao Chen picked up a skewer of grilled meat and handed it to Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou was interrupted and slowly came back to his senses.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry."

"You've been driving for so long, aren't you hungry?" Xiao Chen looked at Gu Tianyou in disbelief.

Gu Tianyou said firmly, "I'm not hungry."

He wasn't actually not hungry, he just wasn't used to eating barbecue.

The rural folk customs are rough, so their barbecues are naturally not as elaborate as those in the city. It's just a simple roasting of donkeys over charcoal.

Therefore, there will be some ash on the grilled meat.

The roasted meat is actually very fragrant, tender, and tastes great.

However, Gu Tianyou found it difficult to bring himself to eat it.

He subconsciously felt that this thing must be very dirty and that eating it would probably give him diarrhea.

Seeing that he refused to eat, Xiao Chen stopped trying to persuade him and started eating the meat in large bites.

Some of the disaster-stricken people at the scene even went to the bonfire, held hands, and danced to express their gratitude to the rescue workers.

The warm hospitality of the ethnic minorities gradually dispelled the somber atmosphere of the earthquake.

Although people weren't as cheerful and joyful as they were during a festival, their furrowed brows relaxed considerably.

Perhaps this is the optimism and open-mindedness that is ingrained in the bones of ethnic minorities.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was relaxed, Gu Tianyou stood up and strode towards the woman.

Shen Yao was eating roasted mutton and drinking warm water.

Suddenly, a pair of leather shoes covered in yellow mud came into view.

Looking up from the leather shoes, you see the man's straight, long legs, his rumpled, dirty shirt, and his perpetually cold, stern face.

No, to be more precise, the man's face at that moment was colder and more somber than the night sky above the earthquake.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to follow orders?"

Shen Yao assumed that the man had disobeyed orders and run away to this place.

“I drove over to deliver the supplies,” Gu Tianyou replied, his eyes never leaving the woman.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work." Shen Yao lowered her head and continued eating.

She was so exhausted from the rescue this afternoon that she could barely stand up straight.

Even the hand holding the skewers was trembling slightly.

She could see the man's anger, but she was too exhausted to care.

"Yaoyao, when are you coming back with me?"

Gu Tianyou took a few more steps forward and slowly squatted down.

This meal brought him almost face-to-face with Shen Yao, and the distance between them suddenly closed considerably.

Shen Yao was somewhat resistant.

I subconsciously moved the stool back.

"I'll only leave when you let me know we can go. If you want to go back, you can go back anytime. Don't worry about me."

"Mr. Gu, did you understand?" Bo Yuxiu moved his body to block Gu Tianyou from making any further moves.

He held a bottle of water and handed it to the man in front of him, saying, "Your lips are all chapped, drink some water to moisten them."

Gu Tianyou merely glanced coldly at the cup in Bo Yuxiu's hand, without taking it.

He gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and brought his mouth close to Bo Yuxiu's side, saying, "Get the hell out of here, Shen Yao is my woman."
