Chapter 57 I'll Come See You Soon

The Ruan family's courtyard was in chaos early in the morning.

Ruan Xingyue came out of her sister's room and stepped on the wet floor.

Walk out of the living room and stand under the eaves.

The courtyard was also wet, with water everywhere.

Ruan Ze was flushing the yard with a hose. He even pulled the cage of the starling over to flush it, scaring the bird so much that it cried out, "It's killing me! It's killing me!"

Ruan Xingyue was already unhappy about being woken up, and she was also worried that her sister, who slept late, would be woken up, so she put on a sour face and said, "Dad, what are you doing so crazy so early in the morning?"

The house is quite clean. Is it necessary to flush the yard with a hose and bully the vulnerable birds?

"Children, stay out of adult matters and focus on your own family."

Ruan Xingyue put on a sullen face, folded her arms, and went back to her room to revise her paper. "When I have time, I'll wash the Chinese toon tree, as well as the roof tiles, the parking lot awning, and the chicken coop in the backyard."

Ruan Ze really agreed immediately.

Ruan Xingyue returned, folded her arms, and looked straight at her father: "Comrade Ruan, you are not nervous, are you?"

"Nonsense, I'm just looking for something to do."

Ruan Xingyue squinted at him and said, "You're really looking for trouble."

Ruan Ze turned off the water pipe, took a look at his daughter's double eyelids, and laughed out loud: "Ruan Xingyue, your double eyelids are swollen! They are so ugly."

Not only Ruan Xingyue, but Ruan Xingmian's eyes were so swollen that she couldn't even open them.

She sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her eyes that were swollen like walnuts. The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

They all seem ugly.

I heard my father laughing at my sister.

Ruan Xingmian laughed along with Ruan Ze's magical laughter.

Would Gu Xing be amused when he saw her like this?

If I tiptoe to kiss him, will he smile and avoid me?

After all, who would accept a kiss from a walnut monster?

For the entire morning, the Ruan Xingmian sisters lay in their own beds, applying ice packs to their eyes.

Li Xue, who was walking between the sisters' rooms, couldn't help but ask: "What kind of touching movie did they watch that made them cry like this?"

Ruan Xingyue said expressionlessly: "At the beginning of the story, the hero said to the heroine, if you jump, I will jump too."

Ruan Xingmian frowned. "At the end of the story, the heroine watched helplessly as the hero drowned in the sea. He died young, while the heroine lived to be eighty years old and had many children and grandchildren. It was so cruel."

Li Xue: "...Don't look at it next time."

When Xu Yanzi came to visit, Ruan Xingmian's eyes had dimmed a lot and he was lying down writing in his diary.

Xu Yanzi sat on the sofa and played with her cell phone.

Ruan Xingmian nodded at her and continued writing.

Xu Yanzi sat for a while and then went home without even saying goodbye.

It was like she was just playing on her phone in a different place.

When writing the part about her and her sister recognizing each other, Ruan Xingmian's tears welled up again.

Ruan Xingyue carried a big bag, changed into her going-out clothes, and stood outside knocking on the door.

High-heeled leather shoes, a cream-colored suit, and expensive sunglasses in her hands.

The long straight black hair is only half tied up and clipped into a round bun.

Her eyes are still clear and cold, but there is a touch of gentleness in her royal sister's look.

"Mianmian, something happened with Lu Tian. As his employee, I have to go there today. I will definitely be back tomorrow to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you."

Ruan Xingmian dropped her pen and ran over, her eyelids still slightly swollen: "Sis, the Lu family is so scary, can't you change your boss?"

She tapped her sister's fair forehead with the leg of her sunglasses: "I have my own plans. Be good and don't worry about me."

Ruan Xingmian said nervously, "You don't want to avenge Sister Yao, do you?"

Ruan Xingyue put on sunglasses and looked at her sister calmly: "You've read too many novels."

Ruan Xingmian's shoulders slumped. "If you're not here, I won't be able to handle their first meeting. What if they start fighting?"

Ruan Xingyue gave a short, quick laugh. "Gu Xing wouldn't be that inconsiderate, but you could remind him to rush to do the work when he gets home, feed the pigs and chickens, talk less and do more, and he'll definitely pass."

She lifted her leg to walk out.

Ruan Xingmian chased out eagerly: "Are you sure?"

"Sure, when the villagers choose a son-in-law, they like someone with a lively eye."

There was a black car parked on the road outside the courtyard. Ruan Xingmian had seen it before.

Ruan Xingyue got on the back seat and deliberately lowered the car to wave to her.

The other end.

Seeing that the parents’ team had filled the entire trunk, we officially set off.

Ji Ling was quite satisfied with the gift he had prepared for the visit. It was presentable but did not steal the limelight from Gu Xing.

She was so well prepared that others thought she was meeting the parents.

She became more and more satisfied with her own thoughtfulness. She was truly a perfect woman.

After staying up all night, Ji Ling handed over the car keys and climbed into the back seat. He lay down, first wearing an eye mask and then headphones: "Thank you for your hard work, Gu Xing. I'll take a nap. Call me when we get there."

"Um."

Gu Xing called up the navigation on his phone, put on a Bluetooth headset, turned on the turn signal, and started on the road.

After being chased away, Turing became even more humble: "Gu Xing, let me chat with you."

Gu Xing had a blank expression on his face and was full of energy, without a trace of fatigue from the anxiety of staying up late.

Turing couldn't help but sigh: "Your youth is a blessing. Your father-in-law was so angry that he ran to the toilet all night."

Seeing that Gu Xing ignored it, it was quiet for a while, then it played some light music without permission. After playing the prelude for three seconds, it stopped and asked cautiously: "Can I play a song?"

Gu Xing said two words expressionlessly: "No."

He turned the steering wheel with one hand and looked ahead. "Without my instructions, all operations are arbitrarily decided."

"oh."

There was silence in the headphones.

Halfway through the drive, Turing suddenly said, "Gu Xing, slow down! Slow down quickly!"

"Why slow down? This is highway."

Turing said anxiously, "You must slow down! I've read the speeds and routes of two nearby cars. They're expected to collide at the next gate! You're the first car in, and if you don't slow down, you'll definitely hit them, causing a chain reaction!"

Gu Xing was skeptical: "You can even predict the future."

Turing secretly boasted: "The more data I have, the more I can do. Archiving the past, predicting the future, and recording the present are the basic functions of our system."

Gu Xing began to slow down: "What do you mean?"

"Give me a person's past and present, and I can predict their future. The more data I have, the more accurate the future will be."

Gu Xing's deceleration angered the black car following behind.

The male driver honked his horn to overtake and cursed through the car window as he passed by.

Turing said slowly: "Do you want to know what he scolded you for?"

Gu Xing said calmly, "Predict this male driver. Will he crash into it?"

Turing replied affirmatively: "Not only will he crash into it, his car will also spontaneously combust. He is an electric car and will automatically lock himself."

Turing bit his words, like a ghost: "So, he will die."

The gate is right in front of you.

It happened so quickly that there was a loud bang.

Gu Xing quickly pulled over and turned on the hazard lights.

The brakes were applied too quickly, and Ji Ling fell off the back seat with a bang, rubbing his head and cursing, "Fuck it!"

"Gu Xing, you must have paid for your driver's license."

She took off her blindfold and was stunned by the scene before her.

She leaned over and counted, there were eight cars involved in the pileup.

Only her car was safe and sound, parked in the emergency lane on the far right of the road.

"Damn, so unlucky!"

She didn't know that if Gu Xing hadn't slowed down the car behind her in advance, the accident would have been even more horrific.

Gu Xing heard the child crying, opened the car door and got out.

"Turing, quick alert."

Turing: "Execute immediately."

…

Ruan Xingmian woke up with his right eyelid twitching.

According to the time, Gu Xing and Ji Ling are almost arriving in the city.

She opened her eyes and quickly made a phone call.

Ji Ling answered the phone: "It's okay, Mianmian. There was a lot of traffic today and we encountered a car accident on the road. We are helping with rescue efforts. There were eight cars in the accident. Gu Xing is helping with the traffic police. He should be alright soon."

"Where's your car? How are you and Gu Xing? Are you injured?"

Ji Ling still felt terrified when she mentioned it: "I was really scared to death. Fortunately, Gu Xing reacted quickly and we parked in the emergency lane, so we were not affected."

She took out her cell phone and said, "Wait for me, I'll take a picture of Gu Xing for you. He's fine, don't worry."

After taking a photo of Gu Xing, she took another photo of herself and sent it back: "I'm fine too, no limbs missing."

Ruan Xingmian's heart slowly sank. "Drive slower in the second half."

"I know. It's okay, Mian Mian. When Gu wakes up, I'll give him the phone."

Ruan Xingmian almost cried when she heard Gu Xing's voice.

"It's okay, Mianmian, I'll come see you right away."

"……good."

Hang up the phone.

Ruan Xingmian was uneasy.

Ruan Ze had just finished washing the car and saw her walking in the courtyard. He asked, "Mianmian, Dad is going to the farmers' market. Do you want to come?"

Ruan Xingmian nodded: "Dad, let's go to the supermarket and buy something."

Since entering the city, Ruan Xingmian's uneasy feeling became more and more obvious, as if something was following them.

"Hey, why is this car following us?" Ruan Ze, who came from the army, also noticed something was wrong.

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-gray car passed them and turned in another direction.

Ruan Ze: "Oh, I was just being sentimental."

Ruan Xingmian stared at the direction where the luxury car left and felt uneasy.

…

The second half was smooth sailing.

After getting off the national highway, Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief. "Gu Xing, I must praise you. Your driving is as steady as your algorithm. Gu Shen, I declare that your driver's license was not purchased with money."

Gu Xing nodded reservedly, with both joy and sorrow in his cold eyes.

Ji Ling put on his headphones again. There was still about forty minutes of journey left, so he could still take a nap.

There was no talking in the back seat.

Gu Xing tapped the steering wheel with his slender fingers and said, "Turing, your prediction is correct. Thank you for your reminder."

Turing said childishly: "Can I play a song? I haven't listened to music in a long time. You don't have a membership on your phone, so you can only listen to the prelude. Miss Ji has it in her car!"

Money can make the system bend, and it will stop scolding that woman.

Gu Xing: "Let it go."

A voice rang out in the carriage.

"Who brought the ancient call?"

Turing's tone-deaf version: "Calling~"

"Who left behind a thousand years of hope?"

Turing's excited version: "Praying~"

Gu Xingsheng's version of "Nothing to Love": "..."

Ji Ling suddenly said: "Gu Xing, who are you talking to?"

Song and Turing are muted simultaneously.

Gu Xing remained calm: "I'm talking to myself about the meaning of this world's existence."

Ji Ling was speechless: "Are you going crazy with your paper? Are you thinking of switching to philosophy as a major?"

Gu Xing: “That’s about right.”

He suddenly asked, "Does our school have a metaphysics major?"

Ji Ling: "Gu Xing, don't scare me. Our class can't do without you."

Gu Xing: "No, I just suddenly realized that the end of science is metaphysics. I want to solve it once and for all and go straight to the end to study metaphysics."

Ji Ling shook her head and sent a message to Ruan Xingmian - Sister, your boyfriend seems to have really gone crazy studying, you should be prepared to break up and leave in advance.

However, Ruan Xingmian, who would reply to her messages instantly along the way, has not responded yet.
