Chapter 28 Why haven’t you left yet?
The moment the elevator door closed.
Yue Qianling looked at herself in the mirror and finally let out a breath.
The elevator slowly descended, and in this cramped space, she could clearly hear her own breathing, which sometimes sounded light and sometimes heavy.
She didn't know what happened to Gu Xun.
He had ignored all the opportunities to meet her in the past, but now that they could hardly maintain an acquaintance relationship, he seemed to be able to see her.
She subconsciously took out her cell phone and wanted to tell Yin Xue what had happened in the past few days, but when she opened WeChat, her fingers paused.
You can't be so disappointing.
Just because someone asked me to add you on WeChat, I wanted to do reading comprehension again. Wasn’t it because I didn’t do enough on the Chinese test in high school?
I rejected you like that a few days ago, what other meaning could there be?
Do you still want to be tortured by your own expectations and fantasies?
Thinking of this, she remembered the photo she had posted half a year ago out of self-indulgent desire.
Yue Qianling took it out, looked at the blurry figure in the photo, concentrated for a moment, and clicked delete.
Then he continued to flip through the pages.
Although she doesn't post much, there are always some late-night sentimental posts, and only she knows why they were posted.
It took Yue Qianling a few seconds to delete only three or four posts from her Moments before she stopped.
-
When Yue Qianling got home from get off work, it was still bright outside.
When she reached the gate of the community, Yue Qianling met Gu Xun again.
Sometimes she wondered if God was always playing tricks on her.
Otherwise, why would he appear in front of her again and again when she tried her best to completely erase this person from her mind?
Murphy's Law can't always be verified on her alone.
After looking at each other from a distance, Yue Qianling quickly withdrew his gaze and turned left expressionlessly.
The building where she lives is actually on the right, but the daily necessities she bought recently have started to arrive one after another. Today, the courier called her to inform her that they were stored at the post station on the left side of the community.
After taking two steps, Yue Qianling noticed something and looked to the side.
Just then, Gu Xun also looked over and their eyes met again.
The setting sun was shining brightly, making his direct gaze even more obvious.
They met too many times that day, and Yue Qianling had a strange feeling.
But she didn't think much about it, she looked away and muttered in a bad tone: "What a coincidence."
Gu Xun walked beside her, lowered his eyes and smiled, "Unfortunately."
Yue Qianling suddenly turned her head and gave him a look angrily.
In the sunlight, the fuzz on her cheeks was clearly visible, and her mouth was slightly pouting, as if she was angry again.
Gu Xun had no choice but to turn his face away, looking to the other side, and whispered to himself: "I did it on purpose."
Unfortunately, Yue Qianling didn't hear what he said.
The two of them walked in the same direction, two meters apart.
Yue Qianling didn't look around again until she arrived at the post station. She stopped and found that Gu Xun's destination seemed to be here as well.
There were a few people queuing in front, and Yue Qianling subconsciously didn't want to stand behind them, so she quietly quickened her pace.
However, her legs were much shorter than others, so Yue Qianling was still a step slower and could only stand behind Gu Xun.
A few seconds later.
Yue Qianling finally realized why she subconsciously wanted to get ahead.
Because when she raised her eyes, she saw Gu Xun's back which was very close to her.
Even if I don't raise my eyes, I can still smell the detergent on his clothes.
Perhaps it was because the weather was too hot, Yue Qianling pursed her lips irritably and took a step back calmly.
If you stay away from him, your mood will probably not be so complicated.
A few minutes later, Gu Xun took out the item, which was a small box that could be picked up with one hand.
When he turned around, Yue Qianling deliberately lowered her head to look at her phone. Only after he left did she raise her head and report her pickup code.
The postman checked and said, "Oh this, it's piled outside."
Yue Qianling walked to the door, but found that Gu Xun had not left yet.
He just stood there, the afterglow shining on him, turning his pupils a light amber, and he looked down at his phone.
Hearing someone coming out, he looked up and met Yue Qianling's gaze.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
I didn't expect to hear this sentence, and it sounded strangely familiar.
Gu Xun glanced at the various large express parcels piled in front of him, tilted his head, and said, "Can't we bask in the sun?"
Become a green plant yourself.
Yue Qianling stopped looking at him and bent down to look for her express delivery.
"3045..." Yue Qianling silently recited the pickup code in his mind, but when he actually saw the box, he was dumbfounded.
Isn't it a detachable simple device shelf?
Why is it so big?
"Do you need help?"
Gu Xun's voice suddenly came from above his head. Yue Qianling was stunned for a moment and didn't look at him.
"No, thank you."
After saying that, she put her phone into her bag and bent down to hug the express box.
“…”
It's okay, I can do it.
Yue Qianling took a deep breath and tried to straighten her back.
But this thing is too heavy.
Yue Qianling felt overwhelmed after taking a few steps. Moreover, the box was taller than her when she picked it up, completely blocking her sight. She could only tilt her head to see the road.
Moreover, she felt that Gu Xun seemed to be walking behind her.
The vague gaze falling on her back made her feel that the road was even more difficult to walk.
Not far from the post station there was an uphill road. Even though Yue Qianling had prepared himself mentally, he still felt overwhelmed.
She walked slower and slower, and couldn't see the road clearly. When she heard a child running towards her, she subconsciously stepped back and lost her balance.
"ah--"
The moment she fell backwards, Yue Qianling screamed subconsciously.
But the sound stopped abruptly when she bumped into the arms of the person behind her.
The sultry wind in the air seemed to have stagnated at this moment.
She asked again about the faint smell of laundry detergent.
She didn't need to look back to know who she had bumped into.
And it seemed like he stepped on it.
Yue Qianling was stunned for a moment, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly figured something out.
This box is really too heavy.
Life has to go on, and as long as they are neighbors, they can't avoid meeting each other.
If she makes things difficult for herself like this every time they meet, is she still going to live?
If she didn't want Gu Xun to think that she was still obsessed with him, perhaps pretending nothing had happened was the best way to protect her?
Thinking of this, she put down the things in her hands, squeezed out from the gap between Gu Xun and the box, turned to look at him, and said calmly: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Without further ado, Gu Xun extended his hand to Yue Qianling, and she readily took the small paper box from his hand.
Then, Gu Xun picked up her box and walked towards the building where she lived.
The two of them entered the elevator in silence.
It was not until Gu Xun put the box on the ground that he said to himself, "How come this thing is heavier than you?"
“…”
Yue Qianling looked down at the black footprints on his white sneakers and decided not to refute what he said this time.
After reaching the 13th floor, Gu Xun put the box at her door.
Yue Qianling pressed the fingerprint lock and said again in a calm tone: "Thank you."
Gu Xun raised his eyes and said, "Don't you need help moving in?"
"Don't bother, I can do it myself."
After a moment's silence, Gu Xun said "hmm" and turned to open the door of his house.
However, when the door opened, he did not go in. Instead, he leaned against the door frame and looked at Yue Qianling unscrupulously.
Yue Qianling initially had her back to Gu Xun, but when she realized that the box couldn't be pushed, she went around the box, entered the door first, and then dragged it inside.
But it seemed like it was stuck by something and couldn't be dragged in no matter what.
Yue Qianling was getting anxious, but the weight in his hand suddenly became lighter.
The box blocked her view, so Yue Qianling couldn't see the person behind her.
She was stunned for only a moment, then used his force to retreat.
After entering the house, the two of them still couldn't see each other because of the box.
Yue Qianling's voice of thanks finally gained some strength, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, I told you."
-
The reason why the box is so big is that the storage shelves inside are not disassembled at all.
So although it was a bit difficult to move, it was very convenient to assemble and only took a dozen minutes.
During this time, her cell phone kept vibrating, but she ignored it and was immersed in the fun of assembling furniture.
After a while, she pushed the shelf to the corner, and when she saw that the size was just right, she piled the sundries on it with satisfaction.
When I checked the message on my phone, it was already half an hour later.
When Yue Qianling saw Xiaomai asking people to play games in the group, he actually felt as if he was in another world.
Ever since she cried and told them that she had broken up, they seemed to take care of her feelings tacitly and never asked her to play games with them again.
Now I think her mood has almost recovered.
[Xiaomi]: @Nuomi Xiaomahua, are you coming?
Yue Qianling typed two words.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Come on.
Yue Qianling and Xiaomai were the first to come online. After the voice chat was turned on, Xiaomai cleared his throat for no apparent reason, and his tone was a little stiff.
"Um...are you okay?"
"It's fine."
"You're not sad, are you?"
Yue Qianling lowered her eyes and said, "What's there to be sad about? Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere."
Gu Xun heard these words as soon as he came online. He was silent and said nothing.
"Well, I'm glad you think so."
The camel said slowly, "No matter what happens, you are the most important. Don't be too sad."
Yue Qianling said “hmm”.
"Then..." Xiaomai hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Do you still like him?"
The three people in the headphones suddenly fell silent, as if they were nervously waiting for her answer.
Yue Qianling pondered for a moment before saying sullenly, "I don't like it anymore."
"You really don't like it?"
Lin Xun's voice appeared abruptly.
Yue Qianling blinked, "Any objections?"
In the headset, the man was silent for a moment, and his tone suddenly became serious, "No, are you so decisive?"
Yue Qianling snorted softly, "You know, I'm trying to suppress an impulse every time I run into him at my doorstep."
Gu Xun: "What impulse?"
Yue Qianling: "The urge to help him move."
“…”
Not necessarily.
Gu Xun covered his wheat and let out a long breath.
"Is he worthless in your eyes now?"
Yue Qianling concentrated on running away from the poison and remained silent.
Gu Xun asked again: "You liked him so much before, he must be very good, right?"
certainly.
He is simply outstanding, both in appearance and in his abilities, he is extraordinary.
Otherwise, how could he become her perfect love object.
But Yue Qianling didn't want to admit it at this time.
Every time you think about his good points, you will feel more uncomfortable.
So she murmured, "Of course there are still some advantages, but not many."
Gu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, even lowering his voice, and asked casually, "For example?"
Yue Qianling: "She looks good."
Gu Xun said "hmm", "That's for sure, then what?"
He waited for a long while, but didn't hear Yue Qianling speak.
"That's it?"
Yue Qianling: “…”
Gu Xun: “…”
Hold.
He endured for a long time before he said, "He must be very smart, right?"
Yue Qianling: "Compared to Einstein, it's still far behind."
“…”
Gu Xun endured it again, "Then - he is very tall, right?"
Yue Qianling: "Not as good as Yao Ming."
Are you possessed by a nitpicker?
Gu Xun laughed angrily and stared at the man on the screen for a long time, "Then he——"
He took a second to think about what other advantages he had. "Helping others?"
After he finished speaking, he choked.
What the fuck is this adjective.
“…”
But this time it was Yue Qianling who was speechless.
She always tried to find excuses for herself, telling herself that Gu Xun was not that good.
There are some obvious points that can be ignored out of self-paralysis, but when she thinks back on every situation she encountered, Gu Xun was actually quite nice to her.
"Oh." But she didn't want to admit it, and said stubbornly, "Isn't that the basic rule for elementary school students?"
The three words "Yue Qianling" were almost blurted out, but Gu Xun held back and asked in a low voice, "Okay, then as an adult man, is he unfaithful?"
"How should I know? I've never been his girlfriend—"
Yue Qianling finally realized something was wrong and paused for a moment, "No, what's wrong with you today? Why do you keep speaking for him?"
The person in the headset was silent for a while before he continued, "I'm just curious about how you let it go so quickly. Although I don't know him, you liked him so much before, which means he must be someone who is worthy of your love."
Camel and Wheat, who had been unable to get a word in, tried several times to stop him.
Don't fucking say that.
"So what? He doesn't like me."
Yue Qianling thought of another thing and felt even more ridiculous and pathetic. "If you knew what he said about me to his roommate, you would..."
"What?"
"Would like to help him move with me."
