Chapter 94: Ensnaring 25

Should we give it a try?

Ling Xiao thought about this and still couldn't react.

Ling Xiao was even a little late when he spoke: "What——"

"Nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Gu Rong turned and left.

The next second, Ling Xiao stopped him by pulling his hand.

"No, you can't just pretend you didn't say anything."

Ling Xiao said with a serious face: "Let's review the question again - no, I mean, do you want to say it again? There might be something wrong with my ears."

"Or I can ask you questions and you can answer them."

Ling Xiao paused, too nervous to notice that Gu Rong was calmer than him.

"Did you just say we were going to give it a try?"

Gu Rong looked at Ling Xiao, and under Ling Xiao's nervous gaze, he slowly nodded.

"real?!"

Gu Rong paused, nodded again, and said "hmm".

"But first, let's—"

Before he could finish his words, he was embraced in a warm embrace.

Ling Xiao was so tall that he buried his face in the crook of Gu Rong's neck: "It feels like a dream... I'm so happy."

Gu Rong was hugged tightly, and she felt Ling Xiao trembling slightly.

He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his arms and hugged Ling Xiao. He could really feel Ling Xiao's body trembling, as if he was trying to restrain something but couldn't.

Pheromones are also jumping and surging wildly.

Gu Rong's pheromones were also released uncontrollably in response to Ling Xiao. After all, it was a 100% pheromone match and he couldn't refuse.

After a long while, Ling Xiao seemed to remember something. Maintaining this posture, he asked in a low voice, "What did you want to say just now?"

Gu Rong hesitated for a moment: "No, it's nothing."

Ling Xiao let his heated brain cool down, stood up, let go of Gu Rong, and looked down: "What you just said..."

He paused here, then changed the subject and asked, "Really nothing?"

"Nothing." Gu Rong shook his head.

"Then you——" Do you like me?

Ling Xiao looked at Gu Rong, pinched Gu Rong's face, but didn't ask in the end.

That’s fine for now.

At least it gave him the opportunity to work on this problem together.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Ling Xiao sent Gu Rong downstairs, looked up, and thought, would it be inappropriate to follow him upstairs after confirming their relationship on the first day?

But if you say send it home, then sending it to the door is also sending it home.

Wouldn’t it be too perfunctory to just deliver it downstairs?

Gu Rong kept walking forward and looked back at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao pretended to be innocent, didn't say anything, and didn't stop walking.

The two of them walked up the stairs without stopping and arrived at the door.

We're already at the door of the room, it wouldn't be appropriate to not let us in, right?

As Ling Xiao was thinking this, he saw Gu Rong turn around and ask him if he wanted to go in for a glass of water.

"want."

Ling Xiao answered without hesitation and followed Gu Rong in.

Standing at the entrance, Gu Rong took out the slippers that Ling Xiao had worn here before from the shoe cabinet. Ling Xiao thought to himself, I didn't throw them away, and then said thank you.

Gu Rong looked up at him again.

"You're welcome."

Then he asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Water will do."

"Warm water?"

"Um."

Gu Rong changed his shoes first and left the entrance. Ling Xiao lingered in the entrance to change his shoes, lowering his head, listening to the movement in the living room, and couldn't help laughing.

When making friends, be as cautious as you would with a stranger.

Try to be polite to each other when you are together, just like when you were just friends.

Really...

It's obvious that they have touched, hugged and kissed each other.

Ling Xiao changed his shoes and walked in.

Gu Rong just found the cup and was about to pour water.

He placed his cell phone on the coffee table. When he was pouring water, the phone rang and a text message popped up with the name "Qu Shaoxian" on it.

Ling Xiao didn't see it on purpose.

The next second, he raised his head and met Gu Rong's eyes.

Gu Rong turned on the screen again, took a look, thought for a moment, and said, "He always wanted me to help him with his homework."

“The money offered was a lot, but I didn’t agree.”

Gu Rong placed the poured water in front of Ling Xiao: "So when the boss said there was a way to make some extra money, I agreed."

Ling Xiao was stunned.

These two things seem to have no logical connection, but Ling Xiao knows Gu Rong, and he can understand.

According to Gu Rong's personality, he shouldn't care whether he gives Qu Shaoxian extra lessons or not. After all, the money is high and it's enough for him to make money, but Gu Rong still refused.

He took today's job from Jingxing.

Being a waiter is no easier than tutoring, and it only pays one day's wages.

Gu Rong should have known this comparison for a long time, but he still chose this job that gave him little return.

Ling Xiao's heart began to beat rapidly.

Although Gu Rong's rejection of Qu Shaoxian was not necessarily because of him, the reason he said these words now must be because of him.

He finally got a glimpse of the softest part of Gu Rong's heart that she was willing to reveal.

Ling Xiao wanted to protect her carefully, but he couldn't help it. He pulled Gu Rong up and held her in his arms again.

"Thank you for your hard work. Are you tired today?"

Ling Xiao hugged Gu Rong and patted his back gently.

Gu Rong seemed to freeze for a moment, having never expected Ling Xiao to say that.

He replied that he was not tired.

"Do you feel wronged today?"

Gu Rong lowered his eyes, thinking back to everything that happened today. After a while, he said, "If I said I agreed to give it a try with you, it was also partly due to what happened today. Lu Cheng said we wouldn't be together, and he deliberately bullied me. Although I fought back, I felt it was not enough. There are other people-"

"Ling Xiao, do you know what kind of person I am?" Gu Rong asked uncertainly.

“Maybe I’m not a good person.”

Ling Xiao didn't say anything. Gu Rong wanted to raise her head to look at him, but Ling Xiao pressed her head back down. At the same time, Ling Xiao lay back and leaned on the sofa.

Gu Rong couldn't help but follow him down and lay on Ling Xiao's chest.

Then he heard Ling Xiao laugh muffledly.

"Baby, do you realize now that you might not be a good person?"

Gu Rong was a little annoyed: "You——"

"But I just like you like this, what can I do?"

Ling Xiao thought about the "precognitive dream" and whispered, "I knew what kind of person you are earlier than you thought."

"It doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want with me."

Ling Xiao pinched Gu Rong's ear: "I think I've made it obvious enough, but you can confirm it again anytime you want."

"But you're good, Gu Rong."

"I can see you, even though others can't."

"You're fine."

Ling Xiao kept saying this as if to emphasize his certainty.

Gu Rong said to herself, let's try it on the first day together. It seems that the situation is good, so we can continue.

After the New Year, Yunshui River was not open for business yet, so Gu Rong prepared to do odd jobs.

But just as he was about to start looking, Ling Xiao called him directly.

"My cousin is coming to our house. He needs after-school tutoring. Want to come?"

Gu Rong was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone.

Ling Xiao continued, "It's after-school tutoring for elementary school. He's a little afraid of me, and I don't think I can help him well, so I wanted to ask you."

"But I...it's not appropriate for me to go to your house, right?"

"If you don't want, I can bring him to your house."

“My house is too small.”

"Then I'll open a study room and let this kid pay for it. He got a lot of red envelopes after the New Year."

Gu Rong fell silent again, so silent that Ling Xiao began to feel uneasy.

"Okay, actually I don't want you to be so tired going out to work. It just so happens that Ling Sizhe needs extra lessons. I swear, he was thrown into our house, and he's really afraid of me and doesn't want me to help him with his lessons. I also promised his father, so I thought of calling you. Anyway, it's better to let you make some money easily than to let others make money, right?"

"But if you still insist on going to work, then I will also-"

"All right."

"Um?"

Gu Rong's voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "I will go to your house to give your cousin extra lessons, but in your house I can only be a tutor."

Ling Xiao quickly responded: "Okay! Then I'll pick you up."

"The tutor doesn't need to answer."

"Oh...okay."

Ling Xiao hung up the phone, walked back from outside, and sighed softly.

Ling's mother said, "What's wrong? Are you having trouble chasing someone?"

Ling's father: "Didn't you say you were already together? You wanted to tell the world right away when you got together that day. You came back late at night to tell me and your mother, afraid we wouldn't be able to sleep."

Ling's mother: "I slept well."

Father Ling: "Because someone wants your son?"

Ling Xiao couldn't help but say, "When he comes to tutor Ling Sizhe, don't show up and don't scare him."

Ling Sizhe raised his head while holding his phone: "Why?"

Ling Xiao glanced over.

Ling Sizhe shrank his head: "Cousin, do I have to do extra lessons? Can I give you all my New Year's money?"

"I'd rather just give the money away."

"ah?"

"No, it's your blessing that I found someone to tutor you. Do you understand?"

""

Just before school started, Gu Rong and Ling Xiao agreed to come for extra classes every morning and afternoon. In fact, they didn't have to leave at noon, and if they wanted, three meals a day would be provided.

However, Gu Rong only chose Chinese food.

He was afraid that the longer he stayed, the more he would be exposed.

Fortunately, inhibitors can be used, so there is no need for temporary marking, otherwise the pheromones on the body will be exposed.

And what's even more fortunate is that he rarely sees Ling Xiao's parents.

However, Gu Rong left a little late today. Ling Sizhe successfully concealed his identity as a primary school student last night and played several more games, which resulted in him being very offline today. He even dozed off, so that he stayed in class for more than an hour. He took out his pocket money and put it in front of Gu Rong to please him, hoping that Gu Rong would show leniency.

Gu Rong pinched his eyebrows, wondering if his blood pressure was a little high.

Ling Xiao was not in the room. Every time he had extra lessons, he would wait outside the study and only come in occasionally when he needed to take a break, giving him enough space.

Now that the time has passed, Ling Xiao just sent a message to ask a few questions.

He showed great respect for Gu Rong's job and did not do anything extra for it.

Gu Rong couldn't help but take out his cell phone and take a look.

But now it's time, maybe Ling Xiao's parents will be back soon.

He didn't really want to face Ling Xiao's parents.

Every time Gu Rong left, it was before Ling Xiao's parents showed up, but Gu Rong was not sure when Ling Xiao's parents would come home, so he couldn't help but look up and ask Ling Sizhe.

Ling Sizhe rolled his eyes.

He wasn't a good student, but he was definitely not stupid. On the contrary, he was very clever. Although Gu Rong was asking him when Ling's father and mother would be back, Ling Sizhe said, "It's okay, teacher. Even if uncle and auntie come back, your cousin won't let you see them."

Gu Rong was startled: "What?"

"My cousin said he was afraid they would scare you."

Ling Sizhe smiled flatteringly at Gu Rong: "I heard my cousin say the other day that my uncle and aunt should hide well and not scare away the people he had finally chased."
