Chapter 21 I command you to kiss me

Gu Nan slept until he woke up naturally.

She was so tired yesterday. If the delicious food Lin Layue made wasn't so delicious, she might still be able to sleep.

She walked into the kitchen in her slippers and went around to Lin Layue to see, "It smells so good."

He was frying dough sticks and adding eggs in the middle of the dough sticks. The aroma of fried food and eggs complemented each other, which whetted people's appetite.

Lin Layue saw that pair of confused eyes suddenly brightened up when he saw the egg fried dough sticks, and kept sniffing them like a puppy. She couldn't help but feel helpless, "Stay away, be careful of the explosion."

Gu Nan happily returned to his room to wash up, and followed Lin Layue in and out of the kitchen like a follower.

She found that Lin Layue not only fried dough sticks, but also made yam meat patties, steamed eggs and fried dumplings. The soy milk and tofu pudding were kept warm in a thermos so that she could drink whatever she wanted later.

The bathroom has been cleaned and the washed clothes are hanging on the balcony. Not only Lin Layue's, but also the clothes she threw in the laundry basket yesterday have been washed and hung out to dry.

Everything is neatly arranged, with each piece of clothing kept at an even distance from each other. The air is filled with the faint citrus scent of laundry detergent, which is fresh and invigorating.

It was as if I was back in the orphanage in an instant, and the director mother also asked them to hang out their clothes in the same way.

"It's time to eat." Lin Layue walked past her holding a steamed egg.

Gu Nan quickly took a seat.

It was the first time for Gu Nan to eat yam, meat pie and egg custard. He had to say that yam and fresh meat were a perfect match. The first bite was crispy, the second was chewy, and after a few more bites, it turned into a dense juice in the mouth. Then he took a bite of the egg and drank a sip of the soup. The taste was so delicious that it went straight into his heart.

She gave a thumbs-up while eating, "Delicious, so delicious."

Seeing that Gu Nan was enjoying his meal, Lin Layue smiled slightly and said, "Since you like it, I'll write down the recipe for you. You can make it whenever you want in the future."

Gu Nan: "I won't cook it. If your cooking is delicious, cook it for me."

It seemed as if it was natural that Lin Layue had become her personal chef.

Apparently, she seemed to have forgotten that he had to go back to the bar today.

But he didn't remind her so as not to spoil her fun.

Just said: "If you want to eat it, tell me and I will make it for you."

Gu Nan nodded repeatedly.

Suddenly, Gu Nan remembered something and put the phone in his pocket on the table. "Your phone is broken, so I'll put your SIM card in mine first."

Although that old phone was second-hand, it still cost more than a hundred yuan. It was broken less than half a month after I bought it. It’s impossible not to feel sad.

But compared to the damage to his body, he felt somewhat comforted. He just considered it as a loss of money to ward off disaster. At worst, he could borrow someone else's cell phone to make some calls and spend the next few days.

Lin Layue nodded and said nothing.

Seeing that he looked calm, Gu Nan added, "Since it was me who suggested you go to the construction site, I must also bear some responsibility for this accident."

Lin Layue frowned and was about to retort when her cell phone rang.

Gu Nan took it and saw that the number was not on his card. "It's for you."

Lin Layue picked up the phone, "Uncle Shoucai, what's going on?"

After saying this, a middle-aged male voice sounded on the other end of the phone. He sounded quite honest, but he spoke in dialect and spoke very quickly. Gu Nan didn't understand a word he said.

But Lin Layue frowned as she listened, looking a little worried, "How is he now?"

Someone said something over there.

Lin Layue also spoke in dialect: "I have found a job and will send money back soon. Uncle, please help me and keep an eye on him. Don't be reluctant to spend money."

Lin Shoucai: "Layue, uncle is keeping an eye on him for you, otherwise he wouldn't have been found fainting on the ground. I'm sending him to the clinic now, let's see what's going on."

"Ah, Jingzhe is really inconvenient to go down. This will only cause trouble for you."

"Layue, you should work hard to make money in the city. You're educated, so it's easier for you to make money than for us. You should be more determined and take your brother to the city to live a good life. It's not easy to make a living in the fields. Don't let down your parents and your brother who worked so hard to support your studies..."

The following long speech was all old stuff. Lin Layue listened silently. The slight sense of relief that rose in her heart was extinguished by the water before it could even bloom in the darkness.

The cold reality instantly extinguished the tiny flame.

All that remains is the embarrassment and suffering brought by poverty.

He was even ashamed to sit at this table and have dinner with Gu Nan. He felt so despicable, stepping on his brother's shoulders to enjoy himself in the city.

How can he deserve it?

Gu Nan noticed that something was wrong with Lin Layue and held his hand which was on the dining table.

Lin Layue shuddered subconsciously.

Gu Nan tried hard, but his hands were soft and he let her hold them.

"...Oh, I won't say anymore. It's just a miserable life. I have to catch the bus. I'll call you when Jingzhe wakes up."

After Lin Shoucai finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lin Layue put her phone on the table in a daze.

There was no note on the phone, so Gu Nan didn't know who was calling. He guessed, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong at home?"

Lin Layue looked at Gu Nan's sincere concern, and a secret corner of her heart moved slightly, but then it was suppressed by a deeper sense of guilt, leaving only sourness.

He pulled the corners of his mouth and said as casually as possible: "It's okay."

It was the first time that Gu Nan saw such complicated emotions appear on his face. You know, when he was whipped, had his first orgasm, was forced, and even when Gu Nan mentioned his dream job, his ups and downs were not so intense.

She vaguely realized that this might be an important factor that influenced Lin Layue's complete depravity in the original novel, but the original plot did not mention it, so she could only guess.

"Did something happen to your parents?"

Lin Layue was stunned for a moment, then smiled, it was hard to tell whether it was more sarcastic or sad, "My parents died a long time ago."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "Thank you for these days. I'm going back to the bar first."

After a pause, he still didn't call out "sister".

He and Gu Nan are from two different worlds. What qualifications does he have to call her sister?

Lin Layue turned around and went back to her room to pack her things.

Gu Nan chased after her, "Lin Layue."

He rolled up his clothes and put them in the bag, and left the same way he had come.

Gu Nan held him back and said, "Wait a minute. If you don't want to say that I didn't force you, then who told you to go back to the bar?"

Lin Layue lowered her eyes, thinking with some irony that he would eventually say such a disappointing thing. "The service time is over. I should go back."

Gu Nan did not forget about this. Her original plan was to take Lin Layue to the hospital after breakfast, then go to the computer city to buy a computer, and then stop by the bar to renew her subscription on the way back. However, a phone call completely disrupted her plan.

More importantly, she was annoyed when she saw Lin Layue's expression of "I just want to fall and it has nothing to do with you."

"Who said the service time is over? If the bar hasn't notified you yet, then it's not over yet. Now, I order you to put down your things."

"Come here and kiss me."
