As Gu Li listened to the voice coming from the phone, he felt that Jiang Xu's voice sounded somewhat distorted, but the content was conveyed clearly.

He heard Jiang Xu explain the meaning of 'leader' and heard Jiang Xu ask him questions. Gu Li felt unusually clear-headed at that moment, and he could even perfectly repeat what Jiang Xu had said.

This made him think quickly, and it made him answer quickly.

“Me too!” he said, then realized his voice might have been too loud, so he lowered it and said, “It’s a fair thing, though I know it shouldn’t be defined as fair. I think neither of us will be at a disadvantage this way.” He paused.

Jiang Xu heard Gu Li click his tongue softly, and then the other party continued, "No, that's not right either. What I wanted to say was," Gu Li really couldn't express his feelings. He was keenly aware of the meaning of "the more you say, the more mistakes you make," so he only said four words.

"I will listen to you."

Gu Li thought that Jiang Xu should be able to understand the meaning of a promise made in a solemn tone.

“I know,” Jiang Xu’s answer never disappointed Gu Li. “I heard everything clearly.”

Jiang Xu took out his phone, glanced at the time, and said, "Can I come find you in half an hour?"

Gu Li, "Hmm?" He made a soft sound of doubt before realizing what he meant, "Okay, see you in half an hour."

Jiang Xu heard the jumbled noises coming from the phone. He glanced at the still-connected phone and thought that Gu Li must have forgotten. He hoped she hadn't bumped into anything in her haste. "See you later, I'm pretty slow."

The sound of fabric rustling and Gu Li's reply rang out at the same time, "Okay."

Just as Gu Li was about to hang up, Jiang Xu said again, "Take it easy, don't rush." ​​Then the call was disconnected.

Gu Li stared at the phone lying on the bed for a moment, then he understood what Jiang Xu meant.

On the black screen where the phone had been disconnected, Gu Li's smiling profile was vaguely reflected. His red hair appeared black on the screen, as if his lover had black hair.

When Jiang Xu rang Gu Li's doorbell, he didn't expect the door to open so quickly. "You're standing at the door?"

Gu Li shook her head. "I was just about to open the door to look for you."

Jiang Xu, "Is this what they call tacit understanding?"

Gu Li said, "This is perfect teamwork." He then stepped aside and said, "Come in quickly."

Jiang Xu: "I'm not going in."

Gu Li turned her head to look at Jiang Xu, "Why?"

Seeing the man's confused expression, Jiang Xu said, "I came to have breakfast with you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Li suddenly remembered something and understood what Jiang Xu meant. "I didn't expect that we could make an appointment for breakfast next time so soon."

Jiang Xu jokingly said, "Why wouldn't I dare to think about it?" He continued, "I dare to think about it."

Hearing Jiang Xu's tone, Gu Li couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Well... you're really... awesome." His words were interrupted by his laughter.

Jiang Xu reached out and gently tapped Gu Li's nose. "Could you keep your voice down?"

Gu Li, "Why is that?"

Jiang Xu said in a low voice, "So that when the time comes," he counted on his fingers, "if Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Ma, who want to be your neighbors, hear this and insist on coming to have breakfast with you."

Gu Li couldn't help but laugh at Jiang Xu's expression. He laughed for a while before catching his breath. "Let's not talk about breakfast. Someone's so full from drinking vinegar." He took a step forward to close the distance between himself and Jiang Xu. "You still remember what we said a long time ago?"

Jiang Xu tilted his head and pretended to be strong, "It hasn't been that long, but I still remember it all, while some people have forgotten it all."

Gu Li reached out and hooked his arm around Jiang Xu's shoulder. "I haven't forgotten, this is slander," he said as he walked down the corridor with Jiang Xu. "I remember it all too. I still remember you descending from the sky and saving me from dire straits."

Jiang Xu, "Are you sure you don't want those people to die sooner so they can be reborn sooner?"

Gu Li said, "They're all the same," he squeezed Jiang Xu's shoulder, "They're incredibly handsome."

Jiang Xu turned his head to look at Gu Li, "Trying to distract me, huh? I won't forget about those little brats."

Gu Li said, "This lemonade has a strong aftereffect, so you're not allowed to drink it next time." He pulled Jiang Xu even closer, "I really didn't mean anything by it." He knew Jiang Xu was just joking, but he was also willing to joke around with people and learn how to coax them.

Jiang Xu said regretfully, “Now that we’re in a relationship, I can’t even drink lemonade anymore. But you can’t take away my right to be jealous of my partner.”

"Jiang Xu..." Gu Li's voice trailed off, "Where did you learn all this? You can drink so much! I'll hand you a drink later, I won't take it away. I'll fill your glass with vinegar later."

Jiang Xu felt he had teased her enough, so he reached out and ruffled Gu Li's hair. "So enthusiastic."

Gu Li: "Yes, you're not my only guest."

Jiang Xu: "You're the only one I have."

"Hmm?" Gu Li locked Jiang Xu's neck. "How many more do you want?"

Jiang Xu felt the light but firm pressure on his neck. Gu Li had taken advantage of the situation, and he knew he had to get back at her. So he pretended to hesitate and said, "Let me think about it."

“You need to think about it, right?” Gu Li’s fingertips were itching to move. “Then take your time thinking about it.” His fingertips began to gently rub against Jiang Xu’s neck, like scratching an itch or just casually touching it.

Jiang Xu reached out and grabbed Gu Li's wrist. "I've made up my mind," he said, suddenly becoming serious. "I think there will only ever be one person."

Gu Li's fingertips curled involuntarily, brushing against Jiang Xu's neck again. Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li, his dark pupils darkening slightly at her touch. "Stop fooling around."

Gu Li bent her fingers and hooked them around Jiang Xu's hand. "Okay." He nodded. "Stop fooling around, or we'll have to wait in line later."

They felt that something was off about the atmosphere, yet it also seemed like it should be this way.

Gu Li brought Jiang Xu to the same breakfast shop as before. He noticed that Jiang Xu liked it when they ate there together last time, so this time they could try something different.

When the two arrived at the shop, there weren't long queues yet, but there were already some people gathered around. If they had arrived any later, they might have had to wait in line for quite a while.

Gu Li pulled Jiang Xu to stand beside him and pointed to a slightly yellowed piece of paper covered in handwritten words. "Take a look and see what you want to eat. You pick a seat quickly, and I'll go buy the food."

Jiang Xu glanced at it briefly before looking at Gu Li, "You just pick what you like, I'll eat whatever you want."

Gu Li nodded, then quickly said, "Then you sit here and wait for your brother to come back as soon as possible." After he finished speaking, he winked at Jiang Xu and went to buy things.

Jiang Xu watched Gu Li's retreating figure, then chose a nearby seat to sit down. He watched as her red hair fluttered in the breeze, the most vibrant color of her hair.

He thought, this is his first day with him.
