Chapter 31 Lin Xun.
Yue Qianling was afraid that the link might contain a virus, so she didn't dare click on it.
【Glutinous rice twisted dough sticks】：?
After a while.
[School Prince]: This is written in a very interesting way.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: I think you are quite interesting.
【School Prince】:?
I don’t know if it’s because I came back too late today, but Yue Qianling suddenly felt a little sleepy.
She yawned, didn't reply to his message, took a quick shower, and then lay down on the bed.
After a while, Yin Xue sent her another message.
[Yin Xue]: Are you going to sleep?
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Um, what's wrong?
[Yin Xue]: Nothing much, just asking you.
[Yin Xue]: Are you okay?
Yue Qianling turned over, hesitated for a moment, and then started typing.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Not bad.
In fact, tonight, she felt that she had calmed down, so she told Yin Xue that she was rejected by Gu Xun.
But when she really said it again, she found that her emotions were still difficult to control.
Although I didn't cry, my nose still felt sore.
Yin Xue couldn't believe it at first, and it took her a while to accept this reality.
After comforting Yue Qianling for a while and finding herself at a loss for words, she changed the art film she had originally bought into a comedy.
She didn't feel relieved until she saw Yue Qianling laughing because of the movie.
After chatting with Yin Xue for a few more words, Yue Qianling had nothing else to say. She felt sleepy and fell asleep unknowingly.
But she did not sleep until dawn.
More than an hour later, she was awakened by the vibration of her cell phone.
When I opened my eyes, it was raining outside the window.
She felt her back getting hot, but the air conditioner was on.
My consciousness was a little unclear, and I felt like I had no strength in my body.
She squinted her eyes, picked up her phone, and saw that it was Xiaomai talking in the group.
【Xiaomi】: Is everyone asleep? Today is the weekend, I think I can give it a try!
Yue Qianling originally wanted to say yes, but when he reached out and touched his forehead, he finally realized something was wrong.
I seem to have a low-grade fever.
When she looked up at the air conditioner again, she sighed helplessly.
In the past, her mother always reminded her not to turn on the air conditioner when sleeping, as it would be easy to catch a cold.
She always forgot and caught a cold again and again.
Even now that I'm this old, I'm still bothered by this mistake.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: I won’t come. I don’t have the strength.
【School Prince】:?
[School Prince]: Why do you have no strength?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: I have a cold.
【School Prince】: Were you caught in the rain?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: No, I just used the air conditioner.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: I won’t say any more. I’m going to get some takeout and some medicine.
[School Prince]: Don’t you have to wait for an hour for takeout?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: Then there’s nothing I can do.
After sending this message, Yue Qianling had a severe headache. He did not reply to the message and directly switched to the food delivery app and selected two cold medicines.
After placing the order, I checked the delivery time.
Because it was raining outside and it was late at night, it was estimated to take another hour.
Yue Qianling felt very uncomfortable all over and her mind was not very clear, so she set an alarm, turned off the air conditioner and continued to sleep.
She slept in a daze, half asleep and half asleep. She didn't know how much time had passed when she was suddenly awakened by the doorbell.
The takeaway has arrived?
She sat up groggily, glanced at the time, and found that only twenty minutes had passed.
The heavy rain is still going on outside the window, how can the takeaway be delivered so fast?
She put on a coat and walked out with her cell phone.
When I walked to the door and was about to open it, I suddenly remembered that takeout in the community could not be delivered to the building.
Then who would knock on the door at one or two in the middle of the night?
Yue Qianling was suddenly very scared. She held the door handle, held her breath, and tiptoed carefully to look through the peephole.
——Gu Xun?
Yue Qianling was stunned for a while before she said, "What's the matter so late?"
In her narrow field of vision, she only saw Gu Xun's brows were slightly furrowed.
“Do you have a hair dryer?”
Yue Qianling: “Ah?”
Gu Xun's voice came through the door, not very clearly.
"My hair dryer is broken, can you lend it to me?"
Yue Qianling was a little slow to react. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly, "Oh, wait a minute."
She turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Just say that being a neighbor is not a good thing. He appears in front of her every now and then, and it is really difficult to completely remove this person from her mind.
She took out the hair dryer, opened the door, handed it out, and said, "I'm going to sleep. Return it tomorrow, or you can just hang it on my doorknob."
Gu Xun's outstretched hand suddenly paused, and after a moment, he took it.
"good."
The moment she handed over the hair dryer, Yue Qianling felt that Gu Xun's breathing was a little heavy.
She raised her eyes and found that Gu Xun's hair was indeed wet.
The ends of his hair were soaked in water and hung down in front of his forehead, which actually made his sharp eyebrows and eyes look somewhat gentle.
Moving my eyes downward, I saw that the shoulders and front of his clothes were also wet.
How could washing your hair make your clothes so wet? Is he a three-year-old kid?
Just as she was thinking, Yue Qianling suddenly heard Gu Xun say, "Yue Qianling, are you sick?"
She blinked and looked up at Gu Xun.
"how?"
Gu Xun looked at her face which was red due to fever and said calmly, "I have some common medicines at home. Come and get some."
The corridor was so quiet late at night that you could hear a pin drop.
Maybe it was because Gu Xun looked like a wet puppy at the moment, Yue Qianling couldn't bear to force herself to say no, so she looked away and glanced at her phone.
The rider was still standing at the pharmacy four kilometers away, motionless.
She just stared at the phone without saying anything, and Gu Xun didn't leave.
After a moment, he said hoarsely, "Oh, okay."
She closed the door and followed Gu Xun towards his home.
Walking behind him, Yue Qianling couldn't help but take a look at his hair again.
It’s so short that it can be fixed in two minutes by standing on the balcony. Why do you need to borrow a hairdryer?
It's not too much trouble even late at night.
The moment she was muttering to herself, she had already stepped into Gu Xun's house.
This was the first time Yue Qianling entered his house, and for some reason, she felt inexplicably nervous.
As if she had walked into some exclusive territory, she kept reminding herself not to look around and not to be curious about him.
So she followed him like a robot into the living room.
But whatever she saw was still imprinted in her mind uncontrollably.
Well, it was as clean and tidy as she had imagined.
It just feels a bit deserted, with no extra furniture. If you didn’t know, you’d think no one lives here.
"Look, take whatever you need."
Yue Qianling suddenly came back to her senses, looked up, and saw a large bag of medicine on the cabinet.
Unlike the neat style of his home, the medicines were not arranged neatly and were all piled in bags, as if they had not been cleaned up yet.
But think about it, he has only moved here for a short time. Most people would buy medicine and keep it at home after everything is settled.
But the variety of these medicines is so complete, it's like they have cleared out all the cold medicines in the pharmacy.
Yue Qianling didn't choose too much and just took the two boxes of medicine on the outside.
"How much is it? I'll give you the money."
Gu Xun's voice fell right above her head.
"Need not."
But just as she was about to speak, Gu Xun had already walked towards the kitchen.
Yue Qianling looked at his resolute back and knew that as a man he definitely didn't want to ask her for such a small amount of money.
But Yue Qianling never liked taking other people's things for free, even if they were worthless.
What's more, the person standing in front of her at this moment is Gu Xun.
So she reached in and rummaged through the bag.
If you haven't had time to sort out the medicine after buying it, the receipt should still be there.
She rummaged inside and found the receipt.
When she wanted to check the price of the medicine, she noticed the time to buy it.
One twenty-seven in the morning.
It's today.
today? ? ?
Yue Qianling thought she had a fever and was seeing things, so she looked again.
That's right, today.
It is now 1:49 in the morning, which means that he bought the medicine more than 20 minutes ago.
Although it was just a small matter, Yue Qianling found it very strange.
A weirdness that can't be ignored.
Why did he go out to buy medicine in the middle of the night?
Or buy cold medicine?
She was lost in thought until she heard footsteps, neither light nor heavy.
When she looked up, she found Gu Xun walking towards her with a glass of water.
Yue Qianling felt an inexplicable panic in her heart and held the receipt in her palm.
"I just realized there's still some hot water left in the thermos."
He handed the cup to Yue Qianling and said, "Why don't you take the medicine before going back?"
Yue Qianling looked up at Gu Xun. Under the bright light, the water stains on his hair were particularly clear.
Suddenly, some strange guesses popped up in his mind. Yue Qianling retreated suddenly and said in a daze: "No, I'll go home and eat."
After saying that, she immediately turned and left.
Gu Xun's hand froze in mid-air. He looked at her hurriedly leaving back and suddenly sighed.
-
After returning home, Yue Qianling completely forgot to take the medicine.
She sat on the sofa wrapped in clothes, her mind in a mess, with countless thoughts colliding with each other.
It was clearly a newly bought medicine, so why did Gu Xun say it was a household medicine?
Why did he go out to buy medicine so late?
He himself did not look ill.
And how could it be such a coincidence that he came to knock on her door in the middle of the night? Didn’t he expect that she was already asleep so late?
Could it be that the medicine was bought specifically for her?
But how did he know she was sick?
The more Yue Qianling thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. Coupled with the fever and the buzzing in her head, it was even more difficult to think clearly.
At this time, the phone started vibrating again.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the phone on the sofa.
The idea suddenly became even more ridiculous.
[Camel]: What’s the point of playing so late? I just finished a dinner and went home.
[Camel]: @Glutinous Rice Mahua, you should also take medicine and go to bed early. It’s easy to catch a cold in this weather.
Yue Qianling's fingertips began to feel hot and trembling as she pulled up the chat history.
The interface stayed at the part where she said she had a cold.
She only said it here.
She hadn't told anyone else.
The ridiculous idea in my mind suddenly became somewhat real.
But she simply couldn't believe it.
-
That night, Yue Qianling stared at the ceiling, reluctant to close his eyes.
Until the medicine took effect, she could no longer resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
I slept until two in the afternoon.
The sunlight outside the window had already reached the bed. She opened her eyes, and it took her a while to regain consciousness.
Air-conditioning disease comes and goes quickly. After taking medicine and sleeping for a night, I was fine, except that I felt a little hungry.
Yue Qianling got up and left the room. When she passed the living room, she saw the two boxes of medicine on the table and the crumpled receipt that she had crumpled up.
The mystery that had troubled her all night returned again.
Yue Qianling stood there in a daze, staring at the door as if possessed by a mysterious force.
It was as if I could see through the wall and see the person living opposite.
After a while, Yue Qianling suddenly shook his head.
impossible.
How is this possible.
This is absolutely impossible.
She picked up the medicine and put it in the opaque cabinet.
-
However, this afternoon, Yue Qianling was still a little absent-minded when doing the cleaning.
Even if you tell yourself it's impossible ten thousand times, you will still doubt it the thousand and first time.
It was not until half past six that Huang Jie called her.
"Qian Ling, where are you?"
Huang Jie's voice brought Yue Qianling back to reality. She stood up and walked to the balcony, feeling the breeze, and said, "What's going on at home?"
"You're still at home?"
Huang Jie's voice suddenly rose, "Have you forgotten that today is my birthday?!"
Yue Qianling: “???”
She suddenly scratched her head.
She really forgot!
"No, no!" Yue Qianling explained quickly, "I have something to do at home, I'll leave right away!"
"Come on! You'll have to drink three cups as punishment if you're late!"
Yue Qianling didn't have time to think about anything else. She quickly picked up the gift she had prepared and hurried out the door.
But while waiting for the elevator, she couldn't help but look back at Gu Xun's door.
this……
root! Book! No! Can! able! Bar!
-
Huang Jie started celebrating her birthday a month ago.
She has a good personality and is popular. Her friends and colleagues fill two large tables.
The group ate until nine o'clock, and then Huang Jie took everyone to the KTV box she had booked.
Yue Qianling was not a sociable person. Everyone sang, drank, and played games together, so she didn't have the mind to think about those things.
But it was past ten o'clock and many people were sleepy. They didn't say they wanted to leave, but just sat on the sofa playing with their phones.
At this moment, someone suddenly pushed open the door of the box.
Yue Qianling looked over and saw that it was a colleague invited by Ren Tianyi and Huang Jie who walked in together.
Huang Jie, who was singing, suddenly stopped and turned to look over.
"Manager Ren?"
Ren Tianyi first glanced at Yue Qianling who was sitting at the edge, and then walked towards Huang Jie.
"I'm here tonight too. I just ran into Wang En outside. I heard it was your birthday, so I came over to toast you a glass of wine."
Huang Jie quickly put down the microphone, bent down to pick up the bottle and poured one or two glasses.
"You're welcome, Director Ren is just here to have fun, why would you offer me a toast?"
Huang Jie drank a little too much tonight. She shoved the glass of wine to Ren Tianyi and drank it herself.
Ren Tianyi chatted with her for a while before turning around and walking towards the sofa.
Just then, the person sitting next to Yue Qianling went to order a song, so Ren Tianyi sat down.
Yue Qianling turned sideways and smiled at him.
"Good evening, Director Ren."
"Don't call me 'supervisor' all the time. It makes me sound like a bureaucrat. I'm not a big boss."
Ren Tianyi rubbed his neck and said nonchalantly, "Just call me Brother Tianyi."
Although Yue Qianling nodded, he didn't say anything.
She lowered her eyes and looked at her phone, a little absent-minded.
After a while, Huang Jie suddenly stood on the stool, raised her phone and said, "Let's take a photo together!"
At this moment, naturally no one would refuse.
Yue Qianling turned towards the camera and made a scissors gesture.
Then, she felt Ren Tianyi leaning towards her.
Although it was a normal pose for a photo, Yue Qianling felt a little unnatural.
She frowned, and Huang Jie pressed the shutter at that moment.
After the group photo session, everyone started singing again.
Yue Qianling lowered his head, stroking the phone with his fingertips, and his thoughts began to wander again.
Not long after, Yue Qianling checked her Moments and saw that Huang Jie had posted a photo.
Although the lighting was not good, Huang Jie turned on the night shooting function, and everyone's face in the photo was very clear.
Maybe it was because he drank a little bit of wine, Yue Qianling began to feel an urge to test.
She thought about it, saved the photo sent by Huang Jie, and posted it on her Moments.
After that, she looked at her phone quietly.
One minute...
Two minutes...
Five minutes...
The twentieth minute passed and there was no movement.
Yue Qianling breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had indeed overthought.
The tension in her body suddenly disappeared and her shoulders relaxed.
The next second, the phone suddenly vibrated.
Yue Qianling's heart was in her throat again.
She slowly swiped the screen and saw the chat box pop up, her heart fluttering.
【School Prince】: Are you going to log in?
Yue Qianling found that his fingertips were trembling.
To the extent that she pressed the wrong word several times.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: No, I’m playing outside.
[School Prince]: It’s so late, why are you still outside?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: Well, let’s drink some wine.
【Glutinous rice fried dough twist】: I'm drunk and have a terrible headache
[School Prince]: Where are you drinking?
[Small glutinous rice dough twist]: I don’t know, it’s called taibeijin.
The other party did not reply to the message.
Yue Qianling stared at the chat box for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.
Time suddenly slowed down.
The noisy sounds in the box gradually faded away from her.
The duration of a song is also broken down into minutes and seconds.
Yue Qianling fell into a state of confusion she had never experienced before, and she even didn't know where she was.
She stared at her phone blankly until the screen went black, without moving her eyes away.
I don’t know how long it had been, but many people in the box had left one after another.
Huang Jie finished singing the last song, picked up her bag, and said, "Let's go home!"
Everyone around stood up, and Yue Qianling also stood up with everyone else.
She held the phone tightly in her hand, her thoughts still unable to come to her senses.
Even when she walked out of the box, she subconsciously looked around.
"What are you looking for?"
Ren Tianyi suddenly asked, "Are there any friends who haven't come out yet?"
"No, I'll just take a look."
After leaving the KTV, everyone was hailing a taxi at the door.
The night wind blew towards him, and Yue Qianling suddenly woke up.
How is this possible?
She must be overthinking it.
There is no such coincidence in the world.
She took a deep breath and walked down the stairs.
However, some drunkard dropped a bottle of wine here, and Yue Qianling didn't notice it. He stepped on the broken glass and his foot was scratched, and he fell to the side.
Fortunately, Ren Tianyi supported her in time.
Although the person did not fall, his ankle was badly sprained.
A sharp stinging sensation suddenly came over him, Yue Qianling hissed and immediately squatted down.
"Are you okay?"
Ren Tianyi quickly grabbed her arm and said, "You sprained your ankle? Can you still walk?"
"fine."
Yue Qianling broke free from Ren Tianyi's hand and rubbed her ankle.
Although it was very painful at the moment of spraining, the situation was not serious. After it recovered, only a slight soreness was left.
When Yue Qianling stood up, Huang Jie had already waved to stop a taxi. She opened the door and turned back to say, "My roommate and I are leaving first! Let me know when you get home!"
"Um."
Yue Qianling waved at her, "Happy birthday!"
Huang Jie blew her a kiss and then closed the car door.
As soon as the taxi started moving, Ren Tianyi said, "Can you still go? My car is over there, and the designated driver will be here soon. Can I take you there?"
"It's okay, I'll just hail a taxi."
Yue Qianling moved her ankle and found that it was completely fine, so she walked to the side of the road.
But Ren Tianyi reached out and held her back, "You can't do this. I'm worried about you taking a taxi by yourself. Let me take you there."
Yue Qianling was feeling a little agitated at the moment and just wanted to be alone, so she pulled her hand away a little impatiently.
"Really, my home is not far from here."
"Why are you being so polite?"
Ren Tianyi tried to pull her back, "We are all colleagues, it's only natural for me to give you a ride."
Yue Qianling felt very uncomfortable when she felt that he had held her hand.
She was about to get angry when suddenly, she felt the warmth of another person on her wrist.
Then, she was pulled away from Ren Tianyi's entanglement.
"Manager Ren, please stop."
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Yue Qianling felt as if an electric shock had been passed through her body. The air around her was sucked out, and even the sounds in her ears became intermittent. Only a buzzing sound from nowhere filled her entire brain.
She slowly raised her head.
Gu Xun was standing beside her, holding her wrist tightly, and looking at Ren Tianyi sternly.
His force was so strong, but Yue Qianling didn't feel any pain.
All sensory cells are focused on the eyes at this moment.
She kept staring at Gu Xun's profile.
At the same time, a friend of Huang Jie who had not yet left turned around and saw this scene, feeling a little strange.
"What are you doing?"
Ren Tianyi probably felt that it was a bit embarrassing to continue the stalemate, so he took a step back and said with a smile: "Since someone is here to pick you up, I feel relieved and will leave first."
Seeing him turn around, Gu Xun's tightly pursed lips finally relaxed.
He turned around, and the sharpness between his eyebrows was blended into the wind and disappeared.
"Drunk?"
Yue Qianling just stared at him without saying anything.
The neon lights of the street reflected on his face, making it seem unreal.
The evening breeze blew past, carrying the scent of shower gel on Gu Xun's body.
He seemed to be in a hurry, breathing heavily, and his chest was not calm.
And his warmth continued to be transmitted from Yue Qianling's wrist.
This is all true.
Yue Qianling suddenly felt that her breathing was a little difficult.
She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Gu Xun thought she was drunk, and without reducing the strength in his hands, he dragged her to the other side.
"Aren't you a little too naive? You actually went out drinking with him so late at night?"
Perhaps it was his voice, so close, that dealt Yue Qianling the final blow.
She stopped suddenly.
Seeing that she was not going to move again, Gu Xun turned around and asked, "Can't walk anymore?"
"Why...are you here?"
Yue Qianling finally spoke.
However, before Gu Xun could answer, she asked a question word by word firmly.
"Lin Xun?"
