☆, Chapter 44: Date
Gu Ran didn’t feel depressed for long because of the Gu family’s affairs. She quickly let it go and devoted herself to making money again.
In the next few days, Gu Ran continued to follow the new projects in the entertainment industry like scanning the list. If he thought something was good, he would invite them out for dinner to check it out. His life was quite fulfilling.
Three days passed quickly. One day, Gu Ran was reading a new script when he suddenly received a WeChat message on his phone.
bYF: Are you busy?
Looking at the other party's simple WeChat avatar and name, Gu Ran thought for a moment and remembered that this was Bai Yifan's WeChat.
The two of them had never chatted after adding each other as friends, and Gu Ran didn't even leave Bai Yifan a note.
It’s not that she and Bai Yifan really have nothing to talk about.
In fact, Gu Ran would think of Bai Yifan from time to time these days, and especially missed the days when he was full of energy with Bai Yifan.
However, she and Bai Yifan were not very familiar with each other, and it was not like Gu Ximing and Bai Yifan had any business connections.
Bai Yifan is busy with all kinds of things every day, even busier than Gu Ximing. Gu Ran feels embarrassed to disturb him and can't find any excuse to disturb him.
Gu Ran is very bad at lying and making small talk.
She didn't expect Bai Yifan to actually take the initiative to send her a message.
Gu Ran was a little surprised by what she had not expected. She unconsciously hummed a song and typed a reply.
Please call me Qianjin Gu Ran: I’m not busy, I just have nothing to do.
Look, this answer shows the art of speaking and actively gives the other party a way to continue the conversation.
Gu Ran felt a little proud in his heart.
Bai Yifan is also very smart.
bYF: Are you free in an hour? Do you want to go out for dinner?
[Okay, okay!]
Gu Ran shouted excitedly in his heart, but the words he typed were very reserved.
Please call me Qianjin Gu Ran: Okay, I’m fine. Are you not busy with work anymore?
bYF: Nothing to do in the afternoon.
bYF: What cuisine do you like? I'll pick one.
Please call me Qianjin Gu Ran: I’m fine with anything!
Gu Ran really likes to eat everything.
As the saying goes, children from poor families grow up early. She has never been picky about food since she was a child. She likes to eat everything.
bYF: Then I’ll take care of it. I’ll pick you up in an hour.
[Yeah!]
Gu Ran jumped up happily, threw his phone on the bed, and ran two laps excitedly.
Half an hour later, Gu Ran came downstairs wearing a beautiful dress that she had carefully selected, and met Gu Ximing at the corner of the stairs.
Gu Ximing was dressed in a neat suit and looked like he had just returned from the company.
"Brother!" Gu Ran greeted him with a smile, and continued walking down without stopping.
Gu Ximing stretched out his hand to stop her, "Wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Gu Ran stopped and looked at him puzzledly.
"Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Ximing asked knowingly.
In fact, he came back two hours ago, took a nap in the room, and was woken up by Gu Ran's inner voice, listening to Gu Ran's excitement about the date with Bai Yifan.
Female college students are not allowed to stay...
My cabbage was eaten by pigs...
Countless thoughts came to my mind.
Finally, it turned into a clenched fist at the side of the body.
Gu Ximing discovered that his attitude towards Gu Ran's love life was indeed different from his attitude towards Gu Lan and the others.
He was certainly worried about Gu Lan's love affair, but that was because he didn't trust Chen An's character.
He knew Bai Yifan well. Both his character and family background were impeccable.
But seeing Gu Ran so infatuated with the other person, Gu Ximing still felt uncomfortable. He felt that no matter how outstanding Bai Yifan was, he was not worthy of his lovely sister.
He was blocking Gu Ran here on purpose.
"Are you so happy? Is it a piece of cake?" Gu Ximing asked sourly.
[It's almost like pie in the sky!]
Gu Ran thought.
But she said, "No, I've been so bored at home these days. Finally someone asked me out for dinner, so of course I'm happy!"
"Who has so much time? Don't we have to go to work on non-working days and non-holidays?" Gu Ximing frowned tightly.
The damn girl actually wanted to hide it from him, which made it seem like this dinner was not an ordinary dinner, but more like a date.
"Who is such a workaholic like you? You always need some leisure time." Gu Ran curled his lips, but was secretly happy in his heart.
In her previous life, she had few relatives, let alone someone who looked after her like this. No matter whether she was late or came back early, or even if she didn't go home all night, no one would call to ask about her, and no one cared about her.
Gu Ximing's careful interrogation gave him a warmth of family care, a feeling Gu Ran had never experienced before.
"You haven't told me who it is yet." Gu Ximing narrowed his eyes, with a penetrating look on his face. "Is it someone shameful?"
"Nonsense, there's nothing shameful about it, it's just..." Gu Ran was originally happy to recharge, but under Gu Ximing's pressure, he felt like he was caught in an affair. He hesitated for a moment before saying the name, "Bai Yifan."
"Doesn't he have to take care of the company? He's so idle..." Gu Ximing sneered.
"He is the boss, can't he take a day off? You are still idle at home." Gu Ran retorted.
"You actually talked back to me for such a wild man!" Gu Ximing was extremely angry, and felt as if his sister was about to be kidnapped.
"What do you mean by wild man? You're talking as if Bai Yifan is a bad guy. Didn't you grow up together? If he is a wild man, then so are you."
Gu Ran made a face, walked around Gu Ximing and ran downstairs, without forgetting to give instructions.
"Tell Auntie that she doesn't need to prepare my meal tonight. I'm leaving now. Bye bro."
Before Gu Ximing could give a few more instructions, he saw Gu Ran running down the stairs and disappeared.
"It's true that girls can't be kept at home when they grow up." He could only sigh.
…
Unexpectedly, Bai Yifan took Gu Ran to a Chinese restaurant.
This one-star Sichuan Chinese restaurant is quite famous in City A. It is located on the edge of Cheng Lake. The environment is quiet and the lake is close to it. The scenery is also very good. It only accepts reservations from members.
The private room Bai Yifan booked had a huge floor-to-ceiling window with an excellent view. The breeze blew into the room through the lake and the surrounding greenery, bringing with it a hint of fresh grassy scent.
"This environment is really nice, better than any restaurant I've been to before."
Before, Gu Ran always went to restaurants with appointments, which were more business-oriented, so naturally it couldn't compare to places like this one that only accept members.
"The food here is delicious. I have ordered several of their signature dishes. You can try them later. They should suit your taste." Bai Yifan helped Gu Ran pull out the chair in front of her.
"Thank you." Gu Ran smiled and sat down. "It will definitely suit your taste. I like Sichuan cuisine the most."
"Then I made the right choice." Bai Yifan sat down opposite her.
Gu Ran was surprised, "How did you know?"
"When I was at Gu's house before, I found that you prefer dishes with heavier flavors." Bai Yifan said.
He was quite observant.
Gu Ran swung his legs and sat up straight again, "I've never noticed what kind of food you like."
"I have very few dietary restrictions, so most foods are fine. Lighter foods are better." Bai Yifan said.
