Extra 8: First meal

He said he would be late.

Ruan Xingmian turned up the volume of his cell phone and waited happily.

Xu Yanzi had one last night shift in the summer job she found. After making her bed, she took Sister Xingyue's car and rushed to the mall.

The other four roommates arrived late. When they stepped through the door, they looked down and saw the floor shining so brightly that they could see their own shadows.

Looking up, I saw a figure stuck to the glass window.

A pretty face poked out with a playful smile: "You guys are finally here! I've been playing alone for a long time."

Standing at the front, the two beautiful roommates, looking exhausted, looked at each other.

How could there be such a cute snail girl?

"Hello, my name is Ruan Xingmian."

"Hello, my name is Jiang Ruochu."

“Shen Zhiyi.”

…

After meeting her roommate, Ruan Xingmian took a quick shower and changed into a black sleeveless dress with yellow polka dots, revealing her fair and tender arms.

She was wearing black leather shoes, and her ankles were slender and white, with blue veins showing.

After drying her hair, she tied half of it into a high ponytail. She took out a curling iron and clumsily curled her bangs.

"You want to go out?"

Shen Zhiyi slept opposite her, speaking slowly, one word at a time, his eyes fixed on one place without moving.

Looks out of focus.

Ruan Xingmian was stared at by her for half an hour, but not only did he not feel offended, he also asked her for her dressing advice with a smile.

"I'm going to see..." Ruan Xingmian paused, then added sweetly and shyly, "My boyfriend."

"Oh." Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyi's reaction was indifferent.

Ruan Xingmian restrained her desire to share and began to choose accessories and bags.

Before leaving, Shen Zhiyi suddenly stood up, stuffed a box of pink things into her hands, and slowly called her: "You may need to take this with you."

There was only a capital X on the box.

Ruan Xingmian was in a hurry to go out and didn't see what it was. He thanked her crisply, stuffed the thing into his big bag, and ran down the stairs in his little leather shoes without touching the ground.

Just as he was about to rush into Gu Xing's arms, he stopped.

Gu Xing glanced at the clothes she was wearing and frowned slightly.

Ruan Xingmian subconsciously looked down at her outfit.

She specially picked a tight-fitting long skirt, which was graceful, intellectual and showed off her curves.

Although her curves are not as obvious as those of senior sister Ji Ling, they are still there.

Looking closely, Gu Xing didn't even look at her curves, but was staring at her exposed arms.

His gaze was so cold that Ruan Xingmian felt her exposed skin was chilly.

He doesn't like this dress?

A black windbreaker was draped over her shoulders.

It has a light scent of chamomile laundry detergent.

She hugged his waist and buried her head in his chest.

I know it’s Gu Xing’s unique taste.

He put it on her and saw that it was quite warm. He nodded slightly, and then turned around and left without paying any more attention to her.

Ruan Xingmian zipped up and hurried after him, a faint smile forming on the corners of her mouth: "What are we going to eat?"

"Dry pot shrimp."

She subconsciously asked: "Aren't you eating in the cafeteria?"

"Well, after seven o'clock, there are only leftovers in the cafeteria."

Standing at the door of the dry pot restaurant, the overbearing aroma makes people salivate faster.

Ruan Xingmian ate two full bowls of rice with shrimp and potatoes.

It's like I haven't eaten in eight hundred years.

After leaving the store, her stomach hurt so much that she felt full.

I still feel like going to the bathroom.

But how can fairies have anything to do with shit, piss and fart?

She must maintain a good image in Gu Xing's mind.

"Can we go to the mall?"

"You seem to be feeling unwell." Gu Xing glanced at her stomach.

"It's a bit spicy. I want to eat yogurt."

Gu Xing didn't suspect anything and took her straight to the nearest supermarket.

Thank goodness there are toilets in supermarkets.

"Do you have a stomachache?" Gu Xing glanced at the pharmacy at the entrance of the supermarket and planned to go in.

People have three urgent things to do, and Ruan Xingmian has no time to delay.

"I want to go to the bathroom." She wished she could stay in the bathroom and not come out.

Half an hour later.

They stood at the entrance of the supermarket, with no destination in mind.

Ruan Xingmian didn't want to separate so soon.

But she still carefully gave the decision to Gu Xing.

"Where are we going?"

Gu Xing raised his hand to check the time, "Aren't we going to the mall?"

Ruan Xingmian looked down at the bulging shopping bag in his hand. She went to the bathroom and Gu Xing bought it alone in the supermarket.

"Walking around with this bag?"

Gu Xing shook it casually and looked at her: "It's not heavy."

"Let's go back to the dormitory first." She weighed the pros and cons, not wanting to leave Gu Xinglei. "You can also go around my school."

"good."

He actually said yes to all of them.

Ruan Xingmian was flattered.

He's not as cold and difficult to communicate with as he looks.

Gu Xing was standing under the street light downstairs of the girls' dormitory, waiting for someone. It was a very novel feeling.

There is no sense of urgency in life, nor is there any sense of relaxation in studying.

Between tightness and relaxation.

It’s like holding a lively and cute little rabbit in my arms.

The few seconds I was waiting for her to appear were the longest, and my heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

Seeing her running towards me with a smile, the nervousness I felt just now turned into an unprecedented anticipation with the taste of sugar.

The girl was still wearing his coat, which was as big as a pocket, but a secret sweetness spread in her heart.

"Gu Xing." She always stared at him with sparkling eyes, and every time he looked back at her, his heart would skip a beat.

"Thank you for the snacks you bought me. This is my return gift."

She took out something from the bag, a gray sweatshirt, of high quality and quite expensive.

She was afraid that he would not accept it, so her eyes were filled with eager anticipation, and she handed it over twice with an uneasy look.

"Thank you." Gu Xing took it and put it directly on over his short-sleeved shirt.

He saw that the girl's beautiful eyes were curved with a smile.

The light rail stops running at 11pm.

After walking around the school playground, they all knew it was time to say goodbye.

Ruan Xingmian took off his coat and returned it to Gu Xing.

She muttered to herself, if only she were smarter, she could also be admitted to University A.

Once they separate today, she won’t know what excuse she’ll use to trick him back next time.

"We will have military training tomorrow, so be careful with the sun," Gu Xing reminded.

"Okay." Ruan Xingmian nodded in agreement and walked towards the dormitory building in a depressed mood.

Look back every three steps.

Look at him standing alone under the street light, he still has a long and lonely road to go back.

I really want to hug him.

Hug her seriously for once.

Put your face against his chest and steal a kiss to his heart.

I was attracted by her looks, was shocked by her talent, but was moved by her heart which was cold on the outside but warm on the inside and as thin as a hair.

"Ruan Xingmian."

She turned around and responded, her heart leaping with joy. Gu Xing, will you hug me? If he does, she will fly over immediately.

"Hurry up," he urged relentlessly. "The wind is picking up."

"Oh, okay." His brows drooped.

After returning to the dormitory, Ruan Xingmian sat on the bed for two minutes to calm down the sadness of not being able to hug anyone.

Then organize the snacks.

Unexpectedly, I found a sanitary napkin and a heat pad.

My face felt hot.

Gu Xing thought she was having her period?

She couldn't wait to call him: "I didn't come that time."

No wonder you have to walk for five minutes, stand for five minutes, and sit in the playground for half an hour.

He also used his schoolbag as a cushion.

I realized later that discussing this topic with my boyfriend was a very private matter.

Hastily changing the subject: "Are you in the car?"

"In the car, I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

"good."

There seems to be no more topics.

Ruan Xingmian has used up all the topics he could find.

Rack your brains to come up with new topics.

I don’t want to hang up, I want to hear his voice, I want to walk with him back to school.

"I don't have any plans tomorrow afternoon."

Suddenly, someone came out of the other end with this incoherent sentence with no ups and downs in the tone.

"I'll arrange it!" Ruan Xingmian's large, mournful eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't wait to invite her. "I also want to have dinner with you, like a family."
