Chapter 21 Cold War

Wenzhu ate until his belly was full and he happily washed the dishes and wiped the table.

From praising the food while eating with chopsticks to now, the praises are varied and not a word is repeated, and the emotional value is full.

In comparison, Gu Xing was indeed depressed. He kept saying "delicious" over and over again, and he often stared at her without saying a word.

I don't know what to stare at.

Ruan Xingmian suddenly had an idea: if she didn't have the child and Gu Xing's face, would she have a relationship with him?

After all, they are both a bit passive.

Recalling many details of their time together, Ruan Xingmian felt sad and soft in the heart - she couldn't bear to let him go, there would be no ifs, it was him and that was him.

"Hey, Chef Ruan, put it down and let me do it." Wen Zhu rushed to do the work.

Ruan Xingmian treated her as a friend, was not polite to her, and stood beside her to help her.

"Xingmian, this place is very close to your boyfriend's school, why didn't you invite him over for dinner?"

Ruan Xingmian felt guilty. It was because he didn't come that I thought of you.

If Gu wakes up, these dishes will basically be finished.

"His mentor organized a dinner."

Where to eat, what to eat, and from what time to what time.

Will you come to see her after eating?

Ruan Xingmian didn't ask, and Gu Xing didn't say anything.

She was like a girlfriend covered by a glass cover, and knew nothing about Gu Xing's itinerary.

If you ask her, she will feel upset and resentful.

If someone wants to let you know, he will take the initiative to report it, and the answer he gets when you ask him again may just be a casual perfunctory response.

Ruan Xingmian was in a state of confusion. Whenever she thought of Gu Xing, she felt as uncomfortable as if being pricked by needles.

I originally just wanted to have a casual chat, and if things didn't go well, we could just part ways calmly.

Gu Xing doesn't know how to do it, but she can teach him. She doesn't care who is active and who is passive.

It’s good to have the experience of falling in love with a genius student. You can brag to your children in the future. I have talked to your father and he is very smart.

But now she began to care about gains and losses, and about Gu Xing's lack of initiative and coldness.

She began to wonder how much he liked and cared about her.

She had fallen in love alone, and she had not yet learned to swim in the river of love.

"Xingmian, it's not dark yet, let's go to Wutong Road on the university campus. I heard it's a great place for filming!"

Dense sycamore trees and a slightly sloping asphalt road divide the university into two parts.

Apart from buses and students, there are few cars passing by and the road is clean and tidy.

"good."

Ruan Xingmian brought her camera and two mobile phones.

When you encounter an inspiring picture, you can record it at any time.

They walked from Wutong Road to the school gate.

The gate of University A is known as the largest and most expensive gate in universities.

The school gate is over 140 meters long and consists of 56 stone pillars and 27 doorways. The middle doorway is the largest, and the overall shape is huge, long and magnificent.

It is built in the form of a composite space entrance, and the whole is curved into an arc, the curvature of which is like the three-point line of a basketball court.

It combines the ancient Greek colonnade style with modern geometric structure to form a "door and wall as one" building.

Almost every day, parents bring their children who are preparing for the college entrance examination to check in.

"Tsk tsk tsk, my dream school."

Wen Zhu nudged Ruan Xingmian and used one hand to make a microphone. "Excuse me, Miss Ruan, how does it feel to have a boyfriend who graduated from a prestigious school?"

Ruan Xingmian thought seriously, "I'm envious."

And a little bit jealous because she doesn't have such a good brain.

Wenzhu was puzzled: "Shouldn't I be proud?"

Ruan Xingmian shook his head and hummed, "I wish I were this amazing."

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the door wall, which is beautiful.

Ruan Xingmian held up his camera to record the last bit of afterglow disappearing from the door wall.

The camera turned and her breathing hitched slightly.

A familiar figure walked out from under the door.

It was her boyfriend from a prestigious university—Gu Xing.

She opened her mouth, feeling bitter in her heart. Seeing him, she didn't want to care whether he was proactive or not, or cold or not. She had a lot to say to him.

Ruan Xingmian raised the corners of his eyes slightly, showing a smile, and was about to walk over quickly to call for help.

In the camera, a beautiful girl jumped out from behind, patted Gu Xing on the shoulder, and raised her right hand to show Gu Xing.

It’s Ji Ling.

The two of them were very close, looking down at the tech watches on their hands, and walked to the right with long strides.

They didn't notice at all that there were eyes following them.

Behind them were Ruan Xingyue and Gu Xing’s mentors.

It seems that after they finished their meal, they went to the second place.

Ruan Xingmian vaguely remembered that Ji Ling was a member of Gu Xing's team and had a strong ability to attract sponsors.

What will they talk about?

Studies? Project? Or maybe the last unpleasant breakup?

Probably not like her and Gu Xing, who were relatively silent and had no common topics, and just focused on their work.

Ruan Xingmian took out his cell phone and stared at the family number in a daze for three seconds.

He looked up at the receding figure and put his phone away again.

Forget it, let’s just leave it at that for now and wait until he’s done.

Ruan Xingmian returned to the rental house alone and felt listless for a long time.

In order to divert her attention, Ruan Xingmian began to prepare her side job.

When she arrived at Wutong Road, she found that there were many roadside stalls there, and the price of fried rice ranged from seven to fifteen yuan.

There are barbecue rice, pancakes, cold noodles and cold noodles.

The basic consumption per person does not exceed fifteen yuan.

Even at six or seven in the evening, there is a constant stream of students passing by.

Ruan Xingmian immediately came up with an idea to add a side job, selling lunch boxes. However, she couldn't do it at the moment because her arms were thin and she had almost no strength, so she couldn't even swing a shovel.

Ruan Xingmian chose and chose, and decided to sell ten-yuan sushi first while the weather was still hot.

Ten per serving.

One copy costs ten yuan, and the profit is between 3 and 6 yuan. If fifty copies are sold a day, it is still a considerable income.

It’s better than sitting and waiting for the account to become popular.

It took Ruan Xingmian two hours to compile a list of what he needed for setting up a stall.

After going over tomorrow's tasks in his mind, Ruan Xingmian washed up and prepared to go to bed.

That night, Gu Xing didn't even call her.

She didn't ask any further questions.

The phone was flipping over and over.

I tossed and turned like a pancake until midnight before falling asleep.

She began to reflect on whether she had done something wrong and what Gu Xing had misunderstood.

But she would rather Gu Xing rushed over and questioned her face to face, as she couldn't stand this sudden cold violence.

It seemed that as long as she didn't take the initiative, there would be no story between them and it would not continue.

Ruan Xingmian was overwhelmed by the emotional issues. She forced herself not to think about Gu Xing and to concentrate on making money.

On the new Monday, she got up early, prepared the ingredients first, then went to apply for a health certificate, bought a cart at the second-hand market, pushed it downstairs in the community, borrowed the water pipe from the old man on the first floor to water the flowers, and washed the flowers carefully and hung them to dry.

When Gu Xing appeared, it was already half past twelve.

Ruan Xingmian was sorting out sushi boxes. He didn't pay attention to the time and didn't realize he was hungry.

He didn't have a key, so he stood at the door waiting for a while.

Ruan Xingmian opened the door with a head of alopecia, looking a little haggard.

The house is a bit messy, with almost no place to step.

"No one answered your call."

Gu Xing stared at the top of her head and said, his expression unclear.

When Ruan Xingmian heard his voice, her nose felt sore - you still remember to come to me.

Her heart was about to burst. She didn't meet his eyes, her eyes wandering left and right. For the first time, she lost her temper: "I was busy and forgot."

There was silence for almost a minute.

She didn't ask Gu Xing to come in, and he just stood at the door.

"Have you had lunch?" he asked again.

Ruan Xingmian nodded casually, absentmindedly, but fortunately she held back her tears. "No, I'll eat later."

It was not a good idea to be so stiff, so she looked up and forced a smile, "It's a bit messy here, why don't you go back to school first."

She knew it was just a tirade, and actually didn't want him to leave at all.

My wrist was suddenly grabbed, "Put on your shoes and go out to eat first."

He hurt her.

Ruan Xingmian rebelled and broke free, the smile fading from her lips. "I don't like eating out. I have food at home."

She was very happy to see Gu Xing.

However, no matter what Gu Xing asked her to do, she refused to obey.

It's not like he's the only one who gets angry.

Thinking of the scene of him standing side by side with others, Ruan Xingmian's tears, which she had managed to hold back, came back.

I couldn't help it, and my tone of voice became stiff and hurried when I spoke to him: "I'm an adult, I know when to eat, I don't need anyone to remind me."

"Ruan Xingmian," the voice above his head turned cold and hard, "What are you angry about?"

Ruan Xingmian looked up, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction, and the corners of his mouth turned down slightly.

She asked back: "Gu Xing, what are you angry about?"

Deliberately treat her coldly.

I don't even look for her when I come back from a business trip.

I made the meal specially for him, but not only did he not come, he didn't even give me a comment I wanted to hear.

Just say what makes you angry.

Even if he had a quarrel with her, if it was really about Lu Tian, ​​she could decide how much to confess to him.

Ruan Xingmian just stared at Gu Xing, his eyes red.

Their eyes met.

I noticed that the aura around him suddenly turned cold, and his originally aloof temperament became even more indifferent, as if a layer of invisible frost had formed on him.

He seemed to be even angrier.

"you……"

Ruan Xingmian was about to speak.

Gu Xing suddenly turned around and walked downstairs in a hurried and decisive manner.

Ruan Xingmian looked at his back and kept her mouth shut.

A layer of steaming grievance welled up in his eyes.
