Chapter 16 Red Rope Bracelet

Shang Yuze thought of what Gu Qingyue had been muttering when he was picking pomegranates just now, and said with tender eyes.

"I know, it's what Cang Yun wants to eat."

Gu Qingyue raised her head and followed his words: "Yes, that's what it wants to eat, not me."

Cang Yun: “…”

There is a feeling of helplessness as to how to prove one's innocence.

"Take it." Shang Yuze put the pomegranate in her hand and reached out to continue picking it.

The man, with a height of 188cm, could easily pick up the pomegranates from high places. His sleeves were pulled up a little as he picked the pomegranates, revealing his cold, white and lean wrist bones.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyue hurriedly said, "This one is enough."

"I'll go back and make you some juice."

Gu Qingyue bit her lip lightly, looked down at the red pomegranate in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't really want to eat it."

"What's wrong with eating a pomegranate in your own home? You can tell her what you want to eat." Shang Yuze handed the freshly picked pomegranate to her, his voice as gentle as jade.

Gu Qingyue looked at the red pomegranate in the man's palm, pursed her red lips, slowly raised her eyes, and met the man's eyes. Her glass-colored eyes were full of cautious temptation.

"Really?"

In the past, all she got was neglect. The Gu family would only verbally agree to what she wanted but never fulfill its promise. Gradually, she stopped expecting anything and stopped saying anything.

Because no one will care even if I tell them.

Shang Yuze nodded, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting: "Really."

Gu Qingyue's eyes were slightly hot and tears almost came out.

She is obviously not a crybaby, but Shang Yuze's gentleness, care and patience always make her heart moved.

It seems that since she met Shang Yuze, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Shang Yuze took in her reaction and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

These years of being neglected made her extremely insecure, sensitive and sensible, and she didn't even dare to ask for food she wanted.

Shang Yuze picked a few more pomegranates for her. In the end, Gu Qingyue was holding a dozen large, plump pomegranates in her arms, with a sweet and happy smile on her face.

Cang Yun cleverly brought a basket.

Gu Qingyue put the pomegranates in the basket and touched Cang Yun's head as a reward, while Shang Yuze carried the basket.

The setting sun melted gold, the evening clouds merged into one, the two walked side by side, the dark clouds followed beside them, the setting sun dragged their shadows to the ground, Gu Qingyue felt that this scene was plain and warm.

Back at the main villa, Shang Yuze took out a pomegranate from the basket and gave the rest to the servants, instructing them to make a few more dishes with the pomegranates.

Shang Yuze sat next to Gu Qingyue and said gently, "Stretch out your right hand."

Although Gu Qingyue didn't know what he was going to do, she still obediently stretched out her right hand.

Shang Yuze put the red rope bracelet on her hand. The man's fingers were warm, and his fingertips with slightly calloused skin brushed against her delicate skin intentionally or unintentionally, making her feel itchy and hot in her heart.

A barely perceptible smile crossed the man's handsome face. He tightened the ropes on both sides and carefully checked them again. After making sure they were securely fastened, he warned, "Wear it securely. Don't lose it."

Gu Qingyue looked at the bracelet on her wrist. The red rope made her wrist look even more slender and fair.

At this moment, her mind was full of the image of Shang Yuze putting the bracelet on her. Two blushes appeared on her fair and tender face. When she saw him take out another identical red bracelet and put it on her left wrist, she lowered her eyes shyly.

"Is this a couple?"

Shang Yuze nodded: "Yes, I heard that wearing it can keep you safe."

"You still believe this?" Gu Qingyue asked in surprise.

Shang Yuze's expression was calm: "I didn't believe it before."

But for Gu Qingyue, he chose to believe.

Gu Qingyue looked puzzled: "Then why do you believe it now?"

Shang Yuze: "If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. I'm just looking for some psychological comfort."

Looking at the man's wrist, Gu Qingyue hesitated and said, "As a CEO, are you sure it's okay for you to wear a red string bracelet?"

Other CEOs wear expensive watches on their wrists, and this ordinary red rope bracelet is indeed not in line with Shang Yuze's status.

"It's okay." Shang Yuze didn't think it was a big deal. He picked up the pomegranate and fruit knife on the table.

Gu Qingyue reached out to take the pomegranate from his hand: "I can peel it myself."

Shang Yuze dodged her hand and said seriously, "The blade is sharp and very dangerous. Children should not touch it."

Gu Qingyue couldn't help laughing: "I'm not a child."

"In front of me, you are no different from a child." Shang Yuze used a knife to cut a circle on the top of the pomegranate, and then broke it open to reveal the flesh inside.

Gu Qingyue looked at the man beside her who was peeling a pomegranate for her, and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

Shang Yuze placed the plate of pomegranate seeds next to Gu Qingyue and asked, "Try it and see how it tastes."

Gu Qingyue picked up a pomegranate seed and put it into her mouth. She bit it gently, and the juice burst in her mouth. It was sour and sweet. She smiled like a flower: "It's very sweet."

Shang Yuze looked at her youthful and bright smiling face, with a beautiful curve at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Qingyue brought the plate to Shang Yuze like she was presenting a treasure: "You eat too."

After Shang Yuze tasted it, the curve of his lips deepened: "It is indeed sweet."

......

The school was closed on Saturday, and Gu Qingyue had planned to sleep in, but she was woken up by a life-threatening call from her master Jiang Yan at just seven o'clock. After breakfast, she got in Shang Yuze's car and hurried to the laboratory.

There was a small problem with the chip data, which was handled by Gu Qingyue. Gu Qingyue recalculated and simulated the problematic part and saved the data after confirming that the chip could operate normally.

Seeing that there was still some time before lunch, Gu Qingyue finished his experiment.

By the time I finished all this, it was already half past eleven.

Gu Qingyue came out of the laboratory building and a voice sounded behind her.

"Gu Qingyue."

She stopped and turned to look.

The young man running towards her was tall and thin, with delicate features, red lips and white teeth. His eyebrows were slightly covered by the loose hair on his forehead, his eyes were bright and round, and his lips, which were of moderate thickness, were adorned with a clean and sunny smile.

Zhou Xuyang stood in front of her, looking into the girl's clear and sparkling eyes. His ears turned red silently. His fingers tightened unconsciously and he asked, "It's noon. Do you want to go eat together?"

When Gu Qingyue came out, he had not finished the work at hand yet, so he asked others to help him finish it, and then hurriedly chased after her.

Gu Qingyue silently curved her lips and refused without hesitation: "No, I have something else to do."

Zhou Xuyang's eyes darkened, and he asked without giving up: "Are you going out? My dad just bought me a car. Where are you going? How about I give you a ride?"
