Chapter 21: Straight Man’s Coming Out Declaration
Ning Zhiran drove away happily.
Oh my god, this is his DreamCar.
Steering wheel, cool!
Central control, cool!
Gear lever, cool!
Ning Zhiran drove carefully and enjoyed the ride all the way. How could this car be so easy to drive? How could it be so enjoyable to drive? Damn palace dogs, do they bathe in this honeypot of money every day?
So luxurious, so enviable.
Ah, although Gong Gou is annoying, this steering wheel smells really good.
Ning Zhiran became more and more excited as he drove. After parking the car downstairs at his home, he didn't want to get out of the car. He restarted the car, turned it off, and restarted it again. Finally, he took more than a dozen selfies in the car, and finally got out of the car reluctantly.
What if someone gets jealous? Will someone come and scratch his car?
Ning Zhiran walked into the building, looking back every few steps, with a shifty look in his eyes, afraid that someone would covet the car.
Although it is Gong Gou’s car, it is really hard work!
At this moment, the phone vibrated.
Gong Huai sent a WeChat message.
Gong Gou: Is it going well? If you have any questions, ask me.
Ning Zhiran replied somewhat unnaturally:
Rabbit Teeth: Okay. Thank you.
Gong Gou: We are all classmates, no need to thank me.
Ning Zhiran originally wanted to lock his phone, but he still felt uneasy and asked again:
Rabbit Teeth: Do you really dare to let me drive your car casually?
Gong Huai was leaning on the back seat of a taxi when he saw the message. He typed "Of course" at first, but just as he was about to send it, he suddenly remembered something that made him very unhappy.
A few days ago, Ning Zhiran blocked him from her Moments.
Gong Huai typed unhappily.
Gong Gou: When are you going to unlock your circle of friends for me?
Ning Zhiran let out an "ah".
He really forgot about it.
Although he was indeed annoyed and jealous of Gong Gou in his heart, but then again, he had borrowed the car without hesitation. If he didn't open his circle of friends, it would really seem like he was really ungrateful.
Ning Zhiran scratched his head, opened Gong Huai’s WeChat, and turned off the “Don’t let him see” button on his Moments and Status.
Rabbit Teeth: Okay, I opened it. Sorry I forgot before.
Seeing this news, Gong Huai couldn't suppress the smile.
It seems that Little Rabbit Tooth forgot.
Didn't mean to block him.
Gong Huai was satisfied. He clicked on the upper right corner of the dialog box between him and Ning Zhiran and enabled a pinned chat for "Little Rabbit Teeth".
The only pinned one.
In this way, he can see any movement of Rabbit Teeth at the first moment.
I won't miss any news. Well, this is just a strategy to bend the little rabbit teeth, not a show of concern.
After doing all this, Gong Huai replied to Ning Zhiran with a message "It's okay" and locked his phone, preparing to carefully and thoroughly appreciate Ning Zhiran's circle of friends after returning home.
Outside the taxi window, the street scene receded, neon lights swept across the window, tinting the interior with flickering light and shadow. But Gong Huai couldn't make out the lights, the shadows, the scenery at all.
In his eyes, there was only Ning Zhiran, and the silly look on her face as she held the key and said, "Oh, this key is mine."
Gong Huai closed his eyes.
So this is what it feels like to like someone.
When he is happy, I will be happy too.
This feeling is quite unfamiliar.
But unexpected.
Pretty good.
…
After Ning Zhiran got home, she quickly made herself a white meal and chewed while browsing her phone.
The photo album on her phone was filled with selfies she had taken in the car. Ning Zhiran picked out the one she was most satisfied with and posted it on her Moments with the caption:
【Human and vehicle as one】
Before clicking publish, he swiped his finger, clicked into the visible range, blocked Gong Huai, and then sent the photo.
He couldn't explain why, but he just... didn't want Gong Gou to see it.
As soon as you post it on your Moments, the number of likes will increase rapidly.
After all, he usually posts pictures of libraries or landscapes, rarely even selfies. Today, he posted not only a selfie, but one of him sitting in a laurel and smiling. It's no wonder people didn't like it.
Adam quickly gave Ning Zhiran a thumbs up and came over to inquire about the gossip.
Adam: Bro, what's up with this car? It's so cool!
Ning Zhiran chuckled and pretended to be mysterious.
Finn: Guess whose car this is?
Adam: Who is that? That Giselle you chatted with online a few days ago? She’s so rich! ?
Ning Zhiran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that Adam was talking about G.
Finn: No, no, this is Gong Huai’s car
There was an explosion in the silence.
Adam: Gong Huai? Dammmn! When did you start calling him that? Why don’t you call him Gong Gou anymore?
Adam: What's going on between you two?! Why would he let you drive the car?!
Ning Zhiran told Adam everything that had happened.
Adam: No, Gong Gou is so nice? He even lends you his labor? Weird, why do I feel like something is wrong?
Finn: What's wrong?
Adam: I can't put my finger on it, but I just feel like something's not right. Let me get my thoughts together.
Finn: Okay, do you want to come see me after school tomorrow? I'll take you for a ride and let you experience the joy of a Rolls-Royce.
Adam: Thanks bro, I like his Lamborghini better, you try harder
Finn: What effort?
Adam: Marrying into a wealthy family
Ning Zhiran: “…”
He opted out of the chat.
Ning Zhiran was restless. She opened her Moments and looked at the selfie she had just posted over and over again.
He was really pleased with that selfie.
A handsome man deserves a handsome car.
Ning Zhiran enlarged and reduced the "R" logo on the seat, and also enlarged and reduced the starry sky above his head for a long time. He was intoxicated for a while, and then he was satisfied and started the business hours for tonight.
The system status of "Anchor Ningning" changed from "resting" to "live broadcast".
However, to Ning Zhiran's surprise, G did not come today.
To Gong Huai's surprise, as soon as he opened the door, he saw his grandmother.
Lily, wearing a custom-made Chanel suit, sat in the middle of the sofa in the living room with an imposing aura.
She impatiently took a sip of the coffee in her hand, the lip stud on her mouth flickered under the crystal chandelier, and her face was full of "You're finished".
Gong Huai subconsciously took a half step back and blurted out: "Grandma, you, why are you here?"
Lily raised her hand and plopped the coffee on the Hermès coffee table beside her. "I've told you countless times not to call me grandma. You have to call me Lily. Grandma makes me sound old."
Gong Huai: "Okay, Lily."
Objectively speaking, Lily doesn't look old. She's thin, and thanks to years of cosmetic surgery and stem cell injections, her skin is smooth and firm. If you hadn't seen her ID card, you'd think she was in her early thirties.
The beautiful Lily leaned back on the sofa and glanced around the villa. "I know you've been rebellious since you were little. Your family asked you to have a relationship, but you insisted you never would. But I think..."
"This house is so big and so empty. Don't you think it's time to add someone?"
Gong Huai felt a little helpless and had a headache. He walked over and sat next to Lily: "You just came back from Cancun, and the first thing you did when you landed was to urge me to have a relationship?"
Lily's eyes fell on Gong Huai.
Gong Huai has always been good-looking, with a good temperament and a tall stature. It's simply unacceptable that such a talented child of the Gong family is single.
Lily sighed. "You know, I had a romantic encounter in Cancun. Guess how old she was? Not much older than you. Look at how savvy little boys are these days. They all know that finding a rich woman can save them ten years of hard work. And look at you, you're just sitting here in an empty room, wandering around like a ghost. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
Gong Huai: "...Lily, I'm not interested in your love life at all."
"Okay, then bring me a granddaughter-in-law."
Gong Huai was choked by Lily's words and coughed twice unnaturally.
Lily noticed something strange and turned her head to stare at Gong Huai.
Gong Huai raised his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and thought for a moment.
Then, as if he finally gave up hiding, Gong Huai said frankly without beating around the bush:
"Lily, I have someone I like."
Lily blinked to make sure she heard correctly, then suddenly realized: "Who? Do you have any photos? Let me see."
Gong Huai didn't say anything, lowered his head and unlocked his phone.
He thought, since Xiao Tu Ya was the one he liked, sooner or later they would be together.
By that time, the family will eventually have to meet this person.
Gong Huai prefers to be proactive rather than passive. Since things are bound to happen, he will choose to make it happen at a pace that he controls.
Thinking of this, Gong Huai opened Ning Zhiran's Instagram, flipped through it a few times, and stopped at a selfie.
That was the one he was most satisfied with.
Gong Huai opened the selfie and handed it to Lily.
Lily took it and stared at the screen for a long time, not daring to speak.
She zoomed in and out of the photo, frowning as if to confirm its gender: "My grandson's wife... looks quite manly."
Gong Huai replied calmly: "He is a man."
This time it was Lily's turn to choke.
"A man?"
"Um."
"How old are you?"
“Older than me.”
"How did you meet?"
"He always scolds me."
"ah?"
Lily couldn't understand and laughed awkwardly twice: "Gong Huai, you're not deliberately saying you like boys because we keep urging you to have a relationship, are you? Are you mad at us?"
Gong Huai looked at Lily seriously and shook his head: "I won't do such childish things."
Lily couldn't laugh anymore when she saw his expression.
She could see that Gong Huai was serious.
Lily sat up straighter, her tone becoming more serious. "You said you like him, but you've never been in a relationship. Do you know what love is? Are you mistaking something else for love? So, what do you think love is?"
Gong Huai pondered for a while:
"When he's happy, I'll be happy too."
"I worry when he's in danger."
"When he has no money, I want to spend money on him."
The huge living room was quiet for a moment.
Lily didn't think the first two sentences were anything special, but the last sentence really made her feel the seriousness of the situation.
After a while, Lily let out a breath. She raised her hand and patted Gong Huai's shoulder firmly.
"The only time in my life that things didn't go my way was when I married your grandfather. He treated me well, we were a good match, and he was quite respectful. But this wasn't what I wanted."
"It wasn't until he was gone that I started trying to be myself again."
"So, kid. This time, I'll help you. If your parents have any objections, I'll speak up for you. Remember, if you want something, you should fight for it."
“Those who don’t fight have no future.”
Gong Huai's eyes lit up little by little.
"I'll make him like me."
Lily was confused: "Huh? You're still in love with me?"
Gong Huai's eyes flashed with viciousness, and he spoke in the most sinister tone and the most cowardly words: "You can understand it this way."
Sooner or later, I will be the only one in his heart.
It's just a matter of time.
"Does he like men?"
Gong Huai recalled the conversation he had overheard between Xiao Tu Ya and Adam about girls: "Probably, I don't like her."
"So you still have to bend him?"
"Strictly speaking, that's right."
Lily took a sip of coffee to calm herself down. "You chose the Hell difficulty level at the start. Gong Huai, you're incredible. Do you think he cares about you now?"
"Out of the 24 hours in a day, excluding the eight hours he spends sleeping, he spends the remaining half of the time thinking about me."
Thinking about how to scold me.
Isn’t this a kind of care?
Gong Huai was very happy.
Lily exclaimed, "Congratulations, it looks like you'll be ending your unrequited love soon."
"Yeah. Then I'll call you over to celebrate together."
Lily smiled carefreely and began to teach Gong Huai some tips on love. For example, he had to make his presence felt more often, show up more often, chat more, and not wait for others to find him.
Gong Huai listened carefully.
Very good, just what he wanted.
The two chatted until midnight. Finally, Lily checked the time and said that the new bar scene in Yaletown was getting hot and she wanted to go drink and pick up men. Then she drove off in her Ferrari in high heels.
Gong Huai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the taillights of Lily's Ferrari disappear into the night, then turned and returned to the empty living room.
He suddenly felt a little worried that he and Little Rabbit Tooth were progressing a little too fast.
I hadn't figured out what my emotions were a couple of days ago, but now, I've come out to my family.
However, this is also one of his means of pursuing efficiency.
Gong Huai thought about the gay novel he read last night, and finally, nodded slowly.
right.
He is not wrong.
This is called offensive virtue.
The virtuous Mr. Gong decided to carefully examine the circle of friends of his future wife.
I clicked it and saw nothing.
The Moments will be visible for three days.
Gong Huai: “…”
He was silent for two seconds. With nothing else to look at, he could only examine the cover of Ning Zhiran's WeChat Moments.
The cover of Ning Zhiran's book is a photo taken facing a table. On the IKEA table, there are two letters made of orange clay.
RR.
The two Rs stand upright, just like a pair of rabbit ears made of carrots, sticking together crookedly.
Little rabbit teeth, very cute.
Gong Huai gave a thumbs up to this cover without hesitation.
Since he likes Rolls-Royce so much, he must still be happy now.
Ning Zhiran was indeed happy.
Even if no one gave him a large gift today, even if neither G nor Taotao Oolong Tea showed up, Ning Zhiran was not anxious.
No one is giving gifts? Even the top-ranked person isn't here?
unimportant.
Thank you for your hard work!
Ning Zhiran was like a chicken with blood injected the whole time, from the broadcast to the end of the joy. As soon as the broadcast ended, he rushed to the window to admire the big Laogan parked downstairs.
Just then, Ye Sheng sent a private message.
G: What are you doing?
Ning Zhiran jumped up in a second, stood up quickly and replied to the message.
Ningning: I just finished the broadcast. Baby, why didn’t you come today?
G: I had something to do today and didn’t have time to give you a gift.
Ning Zhiran's mind raced, and he switched states immediately to start establishing his character.
Ningning: Ah, baby, it’s enough that you can come. Gifts are not important, baby, I am very happy that you can come to accompany me
Just one short message and Gong Huai caught a black carp.
He silently took a screenshot and saved it in the album called "Facial Collection".
Gong Huai studied it for a moment and suddenly felt that the album's name was no longer appropriate. He moved his fingers, deleted the words "Collection of Faces", and changed the album's name to a new one.
——Finn.
Only after doing all this did Gong Huai reply to the message.
G: How was your day?
The car had already been loaned out, so Ning Zhiran should at least give him some compliments this time. "Gong Gou isn't without his merits," "His car is so cool," and so on, even a casual compliment would be fine, he wasn't picky anyway.
Sure enough, within a few seconds, Ning Zhiran replied.
He talked a lot about everything from what he had for lunch to how many followers he gained from the live broadcast in the evening, and the meal he cooked in the evening.
I didn't mention the car or him.
It was as if he had never done anything worth remembering.
Gong Huai lowered his eyes and held the phone in his palm. If you are happy, can you please remember that it is because of me?
Why don't you mention me?
Ning Zhiran didn't mean to avoid mentioning this matter.
He just couldn't say it.
Gong Gou was so annoying before, but now he suddenly did something decent, and he really had no reason to scold him.
...but I really don't want to brag.
Once you praise me, what will happen to those people who used to scold me without thinking it was a big deal?
Are you going to slap yourself in the face with Sister G?
Moreover, when Ning Zhiran touched the steering wheel today, he did feel for a moment that Gong Gou was a little more pleasing to the eye than before.
So Ning Zhiran simply avoided the topic, not mentioning Gong Huai or the Rolls-Royce that fell from the sky.
He talked incessantly about his daily life, and gradually, he found that G's reply frequency was getting slower and slower, and all he replied were "Oh", "Haha", and "Very good".
Uh, have I talked too much about myself?
After some self-examination, Ning Zhiran hesitated for a moment and sent a tentative message.
Ningning: Baby, how are you today?
After a few seconds, G replied:
G: Not bad.
good.
Oh, Sister G is being cold again.
Ning Zhiran trembled a little. A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. Could it be that something he said had upset G? He was just panicking when his phone rang again.
G: Didn’t your school rival bother you today?
Forehead……
Don't bring up things that are not related to the topic.
Ning Zhiran chose to avoid the question and laughed it off.
Ningning: I didn’t see him today
lie.
Why lie.
Gong Huai's eyes darkened. He was very unhappy. But he felt that since he had given Little Rabbit such a great benefit, he should think about sharing his happiness.
etc.
……ah.
Gong Huai suddenly understood what was going on.
He thinks that little rabbit teeth are just afraid of being slapped in the face.
I used to scold "G" for being a show-off every day, but now if I praise him, it would seem contradictory.
...This little thing that is so concerned about face.
Never mind, I understand you.
Gong Huai's heart suddenly calmed down a lot. But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and his eyes widened.
wrong.
If he continues to treat Ning Zhiran well as a classmate, then Ning Zhiran will...
Are you becoming more and more embarrassed to scold him?
Ning Zhiran used to scold him with all her might, spending half of her twenty-four hours a day scolding him, calling him a palace dog, calling him a pretentious person. Which of her words didn't refer to him? This was proof of his specialness, a "specialness" that was unique to Ning Zhiran.
Now things are different.
If he doesn't even scold me, how can he still care about me?
If he doesn't even care about her anymore, what else can he use to make Ning Zhiran like him?
No. This won't work.
Ning Zhiran had to scold him.
Only by scolding him can I remember him all the time and care about him more and more.
Gong Huai's eyes turned cold and he started typing.
G: Why don’t you scold him today?
Ningning: Baby, do you like to hear me scold him? I’m afraid you think I’m too negative.
Lied again.
G: No.
G: Go ahead and curse.
Ning Zhiran was a little hesitant to curse. Perhaps it was a change of heart, or perhaps the Rolls-Royce smelled so good, but the urge to curse suddenly subsided.
He chose to change the subject and tried to guess the preferences of the big money sponsor.
Ningning: But why do you like listening to me scold him so much?
Ningning: Yes, I also think he's annoying. Does it make you feel better when I scold him? (thumbs-up.jpg)
G: Yes and no.
G: When you scolded him, you were very vivid and real.
Ning Zhiran was delighted by these words.
He'd heard people say he was a good person, a sensible child, a classmate of so-and-so, and a good student, but no one had ever described him as "lively."
Ning Zhiran's ears were a little hot. Since the sponsor liked to hear it, he might as well start scolding. He pondered for a moment, then made up his mind and started typing.
Ning Ning: Baby, I have to tell the truth. I am not cursing anyone. I really think...this guy, the dead pretender, can't be said to be a pure annoyance.
Ning Ning: After getting to know him these past few days, I think he's quite a strange person.
G: How do you say it?
Ningning: He is both extroverted and introverted. He is quiet, but he can still call me and ask me why I blocked him from my Moments.
Ningning: He talks too much, but when we go out together, he doesn’t talk much.
Ning Ning: I think he lives in his own world. His behavior patterns are different from those of normal people. He has his own set of ideas.
Ningning: Quite lonely
Lonely...eccentric?
Thank you, little rabbit tooth. Gong Huai wanted to laugh, but in a speechless way. He felt that he was also indebted and asked for the scolding. But soon, Gong Huai began to reflect.
Gong Huai admitted that he was not a particularly sociable person and never thought it was important to be sociable. For someone like him, being unsociable was a necessary means to effectively avoid trouble.
but.
So this is what he looks like in Little Rabbit's eyes?
In fact, what Xiao Tuya said is not entirely wrong. You can look at yourself in the mirror, correct your mistakes if there are any, and encourage yourself if there are none. It is not a bad idea.
Never mind, if little Rabbit Tooth doesn't like it, then just change it. Maybe changing my temper a little wouldn't be such a bad thing.
But what to do?
Gong Huai held his forehead with his hand, staring at the phone screen in a daze. At this moment, the phone vibrated several times.
Chen Yan called.
Gong Huai frowned impatiently, feeling extremely displeased that Shen Yan interrupted his late-night chat with his future wife.
But it’s so late now, what if someone needs to find him urgently?
Gong Huai clicked the call and answered in a cold tone, "What's wrong?"
On the other end of the phone, the sound of singing came from the KTV room: "Mr. Gong, come out for a drink, I ran into Bryan here, and he said he missed you!"
"I have something important to do, so I won't go."
"Oh, come on, it's a good opportunity to call your top student over as well. Let's drink some wine and warm up quickly!"
Haha. It's already past one in the morning.
There was no way Little Rabbit Teeth would pay any attention to him.
Gong Huai still has this self-awareness.
He smiled wryly.
"Nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"Hey, no, no, no! It's okay if you don't come, but you have to be free for me on Sunday. My wife and I are planning to go to the amusement park, but places like this are more fun when there are more people. Can you come and join us?"
"You two are on a date, why are you looking for me?"
"No."
After saying that, Gong Huai hung up the phone directly.
Just to make up the numbers. Who are you looking down on?
Gong Huai was feeling unhappy when suddenly an idea came to him.
Wait, didn't Little Rabbit Teeth say he was a loner? If he took people to the amusement park, wouldn't that prove he wasn't some lonely, difficult, pretentious guy?
Gong Huai stared at the ceiling for a moment, then suddenly sat up straight, lowered his head to open WeChat, and clicked on the pinned dialog box.
I typed a line and then deleted it.
Type and delete.
Finally, he calmly typed a question that he knew the answer to:
Palace Dog: Are you asleep?
What surprised Gong Huai was that Ning Zhiran did not ignore him or pretend to be asleep, but replied quickly, and it was a voice message.
"No, what's wrong, Gong Huai?"
Gong Huai could clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat accelerating. He stared at the voice message, listening to it three times before finally unable to hold back and sending a WeChat voice message.
"Hello?" Ning Zhiran's voice came from the receiver, with a hint of doubt.
Gong Huai pretended to be calm, cleared his throat, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Finn, Chen Yan wants to take his girlfriend to the amusement park on Sunday, but they are short of people. He just called me, but I think three people are too few. Do you want to come with us?"
Ning Zhiran didn't speak immediately, as if he was recalling someone's name.
"Chen Yan? Ah, him, oh..."
Gong Huai's heart beat a little faster: "If you don't want to go, it's okay."
Yes, why be so impulsive? How could Little Rabbit Teeth agree to such an invitation so suddenly in the middle of the night?
Gong Huai, you are so ridiculous.
He lowered his eyes, his mood sinking a little bit. Just as he was feeling annoyed, he heard Ning Zhiran softly reply:
"Sure, I'll go then."
Gong Huai was stunned for a moment.
“…Ah, okay.”
"Then I'll pick you up at your house on Sunday."
Ning Shiran smiled. "Pick me up? Your car is at my place. I don't like to owe favors to others. I like to give and take. Since you came to my house to pick me up last time, I'll pick you up on Sunday, Gong Huai. Remember to send me the location when the time comes."
Gong Huai thought he had misheard: "You, you come to pick me up?"
"Yeah." Ning Zhiran seemed to be chewing something, and from time to time there was a crunching sound in his mouth. "Why, don't you believe in my driving skills?"
"No, I believe it."
"That's fine. Just consider it a thank you for lending me your car. I'm really grateful for the car. Remember to let me know how much it costs to repair it when the time comes."
These little rabbit teeth. I'm here, do you still need to pay? Gong Huai responded and leaned back in the sofa, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.
Ning Zhiran said, "Then you should go to bed early, Gong Huai."
"Okay, good night."
"Good night, Gong Huai."
The phone was hung up.
…Little Rabbit Teeth told me to go to bed early.
...He will come to pick me up.
She actually wanted to pick him up for a date in person. If he had known that borrowing a car would have this effect, Gong Huai would have wanted to pack up all his car keys and throw them to Ning Zhiran.
He came to his senses and sent a WeChat message to Chen Yan.
Gong: On Sunday, Finn and I will go together.
After showing off, Gong Huai stared at the large chandelier above his head, his heart pounding.
I really didn't expect this to happen in this bleak September.
Not only did he come in the spring, he also went straight to the summer.
As soon as Ning Zhiran hung up the phone, goose bumps appeared on her body and she felt like she was thrown into a cold winter.
He really didn't want to go.
Gong Huai and Shen Yan were famously wealthy; it was said they'd even take a private jet to Vegas on weekends. The closer he got to people like them, the more jealous he felt.
But Ning Zhiran still remembered what Gong Huai said when he lent him his car during the day.
The man leaned against the car door and said he wanted to be friends with him.
Sounds quite sincere.
After all, they weren't the same kind of people. But he was already driving someone else's Rolls-Royce, so if he continued to be sullen and refuse, it would only make him look petty.
It makes him look... bad.
well.
Just this once.
Going out with Gong Gou once doesn't mean anything, and it won't make you any less. At worst, you can just come back and never see each other again.
Ning Zhiran glanced at the Rolls-Royce car keys on the table and clenched his fists.
For most of the next week, Gong Huai was looking forward to Sunday. Day after day, he transformed himself into a good classmate during the day and G at night, his actions and heart revolving around Ning Zhiran. Just when his anticipation was about to reach its peak, Saturday finally arrived.
Gong Huai got up early in the morning and spent a long time choosing in the cloakroom. Finally, he deliberately chose a light-colored suit and simply styled his hair.
He was standing in front of the mirror, checking to see if everything was okay, when his cell phone buzzed.
It’s Ning Zhiran.
Little Rabbit Teeth actually took the initiative to find him!
Tu Zi Ya: Gong Huai, please send me your home location.
Rabbit Teeth: I'll come over now
Gong Huai's heart skipped a beat and his Adam's apple moved.
Little Rabbit Teeth is really coming to pick him up...
Gong Huai was stunned for two seconds, then quickly came to his senses and sent the location of his home.
Ning Zhiran received the location, but didn't pay much attention to it at first, let alone look at it carefully.
He took two steps, then suddenly stopped and looked down again.
...Forty-eighth Street?
Ning Zhiran blinked and confirmed again.
Isn’t this one of the most expensive villa areas in W City?
Ah, these damn rich people. He felt inferior even passing by that place. The palace dog actually lives there!
Damn it!
Jealousy made Ning Zhiran look completely unrecognizable. He pouted for a long time before walking to the mirror at the door to check his appearance one last time.
An oversized white sweatshirt, gray shorts, and clean white sneakers. Ning Zhiran smoothed her bangs and looked at herself from a different angle.
Humph, if you just look at our looks, we're not that bad either.
Ning Zhiran felt a little better, but still a little unhappy. He picked up the car keys from the table and muttered in disdain, "Such a show-off."
After driving for fifty-five minutes, the navigation finally indicated that we had arrived at our destination.
The street was covered with golden maple leaves and was very quiet. Both sides were lined with villa courtyards with black iron railings, and some of the courtyards had two small stone lions standing at the gates.
Ning Zhiran looked down at her phone again.
That's right.
He looked up at the villa closest to him. It seemed to have three floors, white exterior walls, large floor-to-ceiling windows, and was very expensive and arrogant.
Ning Zhiran gritted her teeth, took out her cell phone, took a picture of the carved iron door at the entrance, and sent it to Gong Huai.
Rabbit Teeth: Is this your home?
Gong Huai replied quickly.
Gong Gou: Well, do you want to come in?
Haha, no need.
Bunny Tooth: No need, I'll wait for you in the car.
Gong Gou: You go to the passenger seat, I will drive later.
What a pretentious person! I already said I was here to pick you up, so what do you mean by asking me to sit in the passenger seat? Ning Zhiran locked his phone and refused to reply.
Less than two minutes later, Gong Huai came out.
As soon as Ning Zhiran saw him, the unbalanced and sour feeling in her heart came up again.
The white coat on Gong Gou...the pattern, the cut, it must be Chanel, right!
Ning Zhiran looked down at her white sweatshirt and suddenly felt like a bitter little girl who had accidentally strayed into upper-class society.
Gong Huai walked to the car and knocked on the window: "The amusement park is not close, let me drive. You've been driving for so long, it's a good time to take a break."
Tsk, I don’t need you.
Ning Zhiran raised an eyebrow and pointed directly at the passenger seat: "We agreed to pick you up, so I'll drive. Gong Huai, take your passenger seat, let's go."
Gong Huai's mouth twitched, and he didn't insist anymore. He opened the car door and said, "If you're tired, you can always take my place."
Ning Zhiran thought, this is hard work, every second he drives is earned, how could he bear to replace someone?
Gong Huai got in the car, fastened his seat belt, and the two drove towards the amusement park.
Ning Zhiran skillfully turned on the music and asked, "Do you need to pick up your partner?"
Gong Huai was stunned: "...Who?"
"Your partner, it's not appropriate to go out and play without your partner."
Object?
That's it.
Gong Huai said calmly: "No need. Open yours."
Ning Zhiran sensed something was amiss, smelling gossip. He excitedly pried into the enemy's situation, "What's going on? Are things not going well? Are you two having a cold war?"
Gong Huai didn't want to respond and looked out the window.
How could Ning Zhiran miss such an opportunity? He was happy that Gong Gou was not doing well, so he quickly seized the opportunity to persuade them to break up: "Or did they have a fight? Oh, love is something that can't be forced. If you really can't get along, the sooner you break up, the sooner you can get over it."
Gong Huai lowered his head and said tentatively, "Finn, your analysis is very logical and it sounds like you have a lot of experience. You must have discussed this a lot."
Ning Zhiran felt like a thorn in his throat.
"Ah, I, I haven't talked about it."
"real?"
"Well, I don't have time. I'm busy studying, so I don't have time for a relationship."
"No one is chasing you?"
"No."
Gong Huai was a little unconvinced, thinking Ning Zhiran was lying to him, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "With your looks, there's no reason why no one would pursue you."
Ning Zhiran curled her lips.
There are indeed people chasing me.
But they are all men.
"Who knows? I think it's weird too."
Gong Huai continued to ask: "Do you want to talk about it yourself?"
"Yes." Ning Zhiran said decisively, "Who doesn't want to fall in love?"
"Oh, that's good." Gong Huai felt relieved after getting the answer he wanted. At the same time, the fact that Ning Zhiran had never been in a relationship made him secretly happy.
Gong Huai said slowly: "Then I'll help you."
"Help me with what?"
"Help you find love."
"Mr. Gong Huai, how do you want to help? Do you want to introduce me to someone?"
certainly.
A rich man with a clean love history, a luxury car and a big house, who can even pay your tuition.
Gong Huai folded his arms and began to act: "When there is a suitable one, I will introduce it to you."
Are you surprised to introduce me to you?
Ning Zhiran was inexplicably unconvinced: "From your tone, you seem to have a lot of girls around you. You must have dated quite a few of them."
"Mr. Gong Huai, you are not a scumbag, are you?"
Gong Huai almost subconsciously replied, "I haven't had it either," but Ning Zhiran's tone seemed to really acknowledge that he was very experienced.
… Let’s just maintain our image first.
"I'm not. I'm certainly not a scumbag," he said calmly.
Ning Zhiran sneered in his heart.
Big tail wolf, you can pretend as much as you want. You have the face of a SM scumbag, and you are so rich, I will never believe you.
Fuck you.
Amid Ning Zhiran's resentment, the Rolls-Royce drove all the way to the amusement park and it took more than forty minutes to arrive.
At the entrance of the amusement park, Chen Yan and Naomi were already waiting.
Seeing Gong Huai and Ning Zhiran getting out of the car together, Chen Yan winked and gave Gong Huai a look that said "OK".
Naomi's eyes sparkled with excitement as she ran towards them: "You're here!"
When Ning Zhiran saw Naomi, she felt she looked familiar. She raised her finger and pointed at her, her fingertips trembling twice. "Ah, you're the Upass!"
Naomi: "Yes, it's me. Hello, we meet again."
"My name is Naomi, and I'm Chen Yan's girlfriend."
Ning Zhiran silently glanced at Naomi, then at Chen Yan.
I'm so envious. Chen Yan's girlfriend is so tall, and he also wants to have a tall girlfriend.
Ning Zhiran said with a forced smile: "Just call me Finn."
"Wow, that's a nice name."
"Your name, Naomi, is quite good."
The two hit it off immediately.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they checked their tickets and entered the park.
Ning Zhiran and Naomi had a good chat and quickly became familiar with each other, walking in front while talking and laughing.
Gong Huai kept looking at Ning Zhiran's back, and the secret expectation in his heart was like the marshmallows being made out of a marshmallow machine, swelling up little by little.
At this moment, Chen Yan suddenly elbowed Gong Huai and pulled him back a few steps.
"Brother, for your happiness, my wife and I had a small meeting just for you until midnight last night."
Gong Huai:?
Chen Yan was afraid that Ning Zhiran would hear him, so he lowered his voice: "If you like her, you should take her. Don't dither. After rigorous discussion, the core strategy we have customized for you today is-"
"Play, exciting."
After saying that, Chen Yan pointed to the roller coasters and bungee jumping machines in the distance that were towering into the clouds, with twisted tracks and whizzing past accompanied by bursts of screams.
Gong Huai: “…”
Chen Yan: "See? Those are the super scary projects. We'll focus on playing them later. Finn doesn't look like a brave person. If he gets scared while playing, won't he have to grab something?"
He nodded as he spoke: "You said, isn't this a natural intimate contact? When the time comes, you can be gentler, comfort her with a few words, 'Don't be afraid, I'm here'... Oh, wouldn't the relationship heat up?"
Gong Huai's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
despicable.
Gong Huai wanted Xiao Tu Ya to like him, and he wanted him to be willing and have him in his eyes and heart, instead of relying on such despicable means of taking advantage of others.
And...what if Little Rabbit Tooth is really scared?
If little Rabbit Tooth is unhappy, how can Gong Huai feel good?
Gong Huai's expression turned cold: "No need. I have my own-"
Before the word "arrange" came out of his mouth, Chen Yan had already pointed at the roller coaster in the distance, which was said to be the most terrifying in W City, with an almost vertical track and five consecutive 360-degree loops, and called out to Ning Zhiran:
"Finn, Naomi, look at that! It looks exciting! How about we try it first? Feel the speed and passion! It's a waste of time to come to the amusement park if you don't try this!"
As Chen Yan spoke, he hinted at Naomi frantically with his eyes.
Naomi immediately understood and clapped her hands in agreement, "Yeah, yeah, that's super exciting! Finn, let's go do this!"
Gong Huai looked up and glanced at the extravagant roller coaster.
…Just looking at it makes me feel sick to my stomach.
What's the point of playing with something so undignified? How could a calm and steady man of high quality play such an inappropriate and meaningless amusement project?
boring.
He just didn't want to lose his composure, not because of fear, nor because he was afraid of heights.
Gong Huai looked at Ning Zhiran expectantly. Little Rabbit Teeth didn't seem particularly courageous. That was good. Once Little Rabbit Teeth refused, he could just go along with it. Perfect, everyone was happy.
That's it. Gong Huai had already rehearsed his lines in his mind and was just waiting for Ning Zhiran to shake his head.
However.
Ning Zhiran looked in the direction Chen Yan was pointing, and her beautiful eyes first widened slightly, and then suddenly lit up.
"It's so interesting! It's so exciting! Let's go, let's go! I love roller coasters the most!"
“…”
Gong Huai closed his eyes in despair.
