Chapter 37 Are You Responsible for Me?
Although Yue Qianling was not completely unaware, she had also secretly pondered Gu Xun's intentions over the past two days.
But Yue Qianling was still a little confused when Yin Xue, an outsider, exposed his true intentions so bluntly.
She clearly remembered every word Gu Xun said to her on the day of his confession.
Say you don't like her now and you won't like her in the future.
Said she was not his type at all.
After thinking for a while, Yue Qianling put on her slippers in a daze and went into the room, while Yin Xue was still sending messages on her phone.
[Yin Xue]: So who is that boy? Colleagues? Is it handsome? Is it high?
[Yin Xue]: Anyway, I think it’s pretty good! There are not many boys like this nowadays. Most of them are just good at talking and talking, but only a few of them take any real action!
[Yin Xue]: What's the point of searching or not? Go to hell with it. You still have a large forest!
She lowered her eyes and looked at what Yin Xue sent, not knowing what to say.
Then what is Gu Xun now?
Men's minds are so hard to figure out.
She sat down on the edge of the bed, rubbed her face, turned on the bedside lamp, and happened to see the keyboard on the computer desk next to her.
Because they moved and had enough space, Yue Qianling asked her father to send the keyboard over.
She had just unpacked the package and hadn't had time to install it.
Without power, the keyboard looked ordinary, similar to the mechanical keyboards she had used before.
Yue Qianling stared at it for a long time and seemed to understand something.
-
The next morning, Yue Qianling woke up with a groggy head.
Maybe it was because she was scared and cried last night, but she slept particularly deeply and missed the first alarm. When she got up, there were only more than 40 minutes left before work.
She didn't have time to put on makeup and dress up. She simply washed her face, brushed her teeth, and applied sunscreen before rushing out the door.
After taking two steps, she still felt a little nervous, so she turned back.
She tiptoed to check the door from top to bottom to make sure there were no stickers or strange marks on it. She pulled the door handle anxiously.
So she heaved a sigh of relief when all signs indicated that everything was normal.
She didn't know how long the events of last night would cast a shadow on her, nor did she know what the man who was following her was trying to do, or whether he had given up on her.
All the worries seemed to accompany her breathing, and she didn't know when she would be able to live a normal life.
Yue Qianling even thought about moving to a different environment, perhaps she could escape the current danger.
But when she turned around and saw the door opposite, Yue Qianling pursed her lips, and the thought that had just popped up was suppressed little by little.
If she moved and encountered the situation like yesterday again, she didn't know whether the new neighbors would open the door for her or accompany her to the police station late at night.
Just as I was lost in thought, Gu Xun's door suddenly opened.
Gu Xun took a step forward sleepily, and when he saw Yue Qianling, he suddenly stopped and raised his eyelids.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Yue Qianling choked, turned around and walked towards the elevator.
"No."
As soon as Gu Xunyi closed the door, the lights in the corridor came on.
He quickly caught up with Yue Qianling and squeezed into the same elevator with her.
"Okay, I'll show my hand."
Yue Qianling: "What?"
"Actually, I was waiting for you."
Her throat suddenly felt itchy, and Yue Qianling said nothing, but reached out to press the elevator floor.
Entering the elevator, both of them were silent.
When entering a small space, the presence of the people around you becomes magnified.
Feeling Gu Xun's steady breathing, Yue Qianling's mind once again reappeared the scene of standing here with the man in black last night.
In such a quiet environment, the sound of his breathing was like a danger signal above her head.
It was like a nightmare, Yue Qianling was still scared after the whole night.
After unconsciously imagining some scenes in her mind, she sighed heavily.
Gu Xun heard her sigh, paused in pressing the phone, raised his head and looked at her sideways.
"What are you sighing about?"
"Oh, nothing." Yue Qianling lowered his eyes to look at the ground, forcing himself to think about something else, and quickly changed the subject, "Why are you waiting for me?"
"Is that even a question?"
Gu Xun put his phone in his pocket, crossed his arms, and said as a matter of course, "Since what happened last night, I have deeply realized that your safety is my safety."
Yue Qianling's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, she looked up.
"Yeah?"
"certainly."
Gu Xun tilted his head and sighed deeply, "I was lucky last night because I wore a pair of pants. What if I'm not wearing anything the next time you rush into my house?"
Yue Qianling: “…”
Gu Xun raised his chin towards her, "Are you responsible for me?"
“…”
Yue Qianling suddenly felt that Yin Xue and she were overthinking.
How could Gu Xun be embarrassed to say something?
After a long silence, she still couldn't help but ask a very crucial question.
"Do you have the habit of running around naked at home?"
"Although I'm embarrassed to say it."
Gu Xun paused, "But I do have this habit."
Yue Qianling: “…”
She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and then heard Gu Xun speak seriously again.
"It's hard to change a habit formed when you're a kid. I hope you won't look down on me because of this."
"Gu Xun."
Yue Qianling said coldly, "Do you want to eat a fist?"
After saying that, the elevator door opened and Yue Qianling rushed out.
Seeing that her back was no longer heavy, Gu Xun smiled and quickly followed her.
-
The two arrived at the company together. When they were about to get into the elevator, Yue Qianling suddenly remembered that she hadn't had breakfast yet.
She stopped and prepared to leave, "I'm going to buy some breakfast."
Gu Xun followed her out and said, "I didn't eat either."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zheng came out of the elevator.
"What a coincidence."
Because they were at the elevator entrance, Su Zheng was not surprised to see Yue Qianling and Gu Xun appear together, and he greeted them naturally.
Yue Qianling nodded, glanced at Su Zheng, and found that his chin was slightly blue and black, so he asked, "Did you stay up late?"
“Not really.”
Su Zheng said, "I was halfway through my sleep last night when I suddenly figured out Sigrid's thoughts. I looked at the time and it was only half past three, so I got up that night and came to the company."
As he was talking, he noticed that Yue Qianling was staring at him in shock, so he touched his chin embarrassedly.
"I was in such a hurry that I forgot to shave, but I have written the plan and I will send it to you later. As usual, when you are done with your work, come upstairs and we will discuss the details of the art plan."
Yue Qianling was still shocked that he got up at 3:30 to come to the company, and nodded blankly.
Su Zheng's eyes fell on her face and found that she looked a little haggard. Thinking of how he had always kept her home late these days, he said embarrassedly, "Are you too tired these days? Why don't you take some time to come over at noon and go home early at night? After all, we're asking you for help, and we don't want you to always leave late at night."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xun said, "She——"
But before he could finish his words, Yue Qianling suddenly interrupted him, "I'm not tired, I just drank some coffee last night and didn't sleep well. Don't worry, I'll come to see you after I finish my work in the afternoon, it's okay."
Having said that, Su Zheng was still a little worried.
"This is not something that has happened overnight. I just thought about it. We have to be responsible for your safety."
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Xun suddenly interrupted, "I can take her home in the evening."
Su Zheng raised his head, looked at Gu Xun, and said hesitantly: "You..."
Gu Xun: "What?"
Seeing Su Zheng's puzzled expression, Yue Qianling explained: "We are neighbors, living in the same district."
“Oh, so…”
Su Zheng nodded, "Okay, I'll send you the plan after I buy breakfast. There's a lot of content, so please read it carefully."
"good."
Because they had a few words with Su Zheng, Yue Qianling and Gu Xun missed this elevator.
She stared at the elevator door, dazed for a moment.
"actually,"
Gu Xun stood beside her and spoke slowly, "You can refuse."
Yue Qianling knew what he meant.
Although she was paid for helping the Ninth Business Unit with Sigrid's original painting design, she also had the right to refuse to work overtime.
"I'm not trying to be brave."
Gu Xun raised his eyebrows, "You cried like that last night, weren't you just trying to be strong?"
Yue Qianling thought about it and decided to tell him her thoughts, so that he wouldn't feel that he had to do it even though he was in such danger.
"I admit I'm scared, but so what?"
She paused before continuing, "When I first came to HC Interactive Entertainment, I heard about a sister who was a developer in your ninth business unit. I wonder if you have heard of her."
Gu Xun said, "Hmm?"
“We don’t have any female developers.”
"Yes, because she left last September."
Yue Qianling knew that he had never heard of it. She hung her head, stared at her fingers, and whispered, "I think she was forced."
Gu Xun didn't respond.
"Her family conditions don't seem to be very good. In order to save money, she rented a house outside the Third Ring Road, which is very far away."
"You guys often work overtime, so she often misses the last subway and has to take a taxi. But she lives in a village in the city, which is full of all kinds of people. One night, she was stopped by a drunkard. Fortunately, the owner of a barbecue stall helped her."
"Later, she seemed to have told her colleagues about this, and they told her not to work so late, and that male colleagues could help her share the burden."
"That sister was very happy and went home at nine o'clock every day, but as time went on..."
Yue Qianling raised her head and glanced at Gu Xun. Seeing that he was listening attentively, she continued, "I just couldn't keep up with the pace, so I took the initiative to resign."
In fact, Yue Qianling said it very tactfully.
What she heard at the time was that as the only female developer in the project team, the sister's colleagues did want to take care of her at first, but after a long time, they felt it was unfair, so they complained and felt that she was slowing down the progress of the project.
Over time, she felt embarrassed and her contribution to the project could not catch up with others, so she resigned.
But in Yue Qianling's eyes, this was forced.
Although she couldn't rush to the company alone in the middle of the night like Su Zheng, she didn't want to be like that sister.
Because she's a girl.
Because it's beautiful.
Because they need "special care".
So throw away an opportunity that was right in front of you.
"So I—"
"knew."
The elevator door opened at this time. Gu Xun didn't wait for her to finish and patted her on the back of the head, "Why don't you go up and wait to be fined for being late?"
“Check out the location!”
When Yue Qianling was reminded by him, she checked the time and quickly jumped into the elevator.
But Gu Xun did not go in.
He stood outside, looking at Yue Qianling solemnly until the elevator door slowly closed, then he turned and walked outside.
-
Yue Qianling almost jogged all the way to her workstation. After sitting down, she immediately turned on her computer and, as expected, she received the demand document sent by Su Zheng.
On the other hand, the chief artist of her mobile game project team also sent new requirements.
Yue Qianling hurriedly sorted and archived both sides. After a careful comparison, she found that the literary descriptions of the character personality and background of the boss Sigrid in the Ninth Business Unit alone were more than all the planning proposals for the mobile game project she was working on.
She sat on the stool, looked at the two documents, and sighed silently.
She was really tired. She felt like there was an engine in her brain, urging her to keep going without stopping for even a moment.
After a short break, Yue Qianling took out the drawing tablet and started to sketch out the design of the mobile game.
A few minutes later, she felt her stomach growl twice, so she opened the drawer and took out two cookies.
Just after taking a bite, the DingTalk app on the computer started flashing again.
Yue Qianling thought there was a new request, but when she opened it, she saw that it was a message from Gu Xun.
[Ninth Business Unit - Gu Xun]: Come out, I'll be waiting for you at the elevator entrance.
Yue Qianling: “…”
It seems that he doesn't know that he has been released from the small dark room.
Feeling a little weird chatting with Gu Xun on DingTalk, Yue Qianling took out her phone and sent him a WeChat message.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: What’s the matter?
【School Prince】:?
【School Prince】: Oh fuck.
After a while.
【School Prince】: Come and get your breakfast.
[School Prince]: If you don’t come, I will charge admission fees to those people in your department who come to watch me.
Yue Qianling was stunned for a moment. Seeing that everyone around him was busy working, he gently pushed away the chair, stood up and walked outside.
Sure enough, Gu Xun was standing at the elevator entrance on their floor, holding two bags in his hands.
But there was no one around, and there was no one watching.
At this time, Gu Xun also saw her and said impatiently, "You can't even heat up your meal?"
Yue Qianling had no choice but to walk towards him quickly.
Just as I stood in front of him, the elevator door next to me opened.
Yi Hong was standing inside. When he looked up and saw Gu Xun, he immediately took two steps out.
"I thought you didn't see my message, and you said you were going out to buy food."
Unlike Su Zheng who rushed to the company late at night, Yi Hong never left at all.
After staying up all night, he finally got a break and was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy. He looked at the time and thought Gu Xun should be here soon, so he sent a message to ask him to bring some breakfast.
"You haven't eaten either?" Yi Hong was so hungry that he felt dizzy. He didn't notice why Gu Xun was in the mobile game department. He just saw the bag of sandwiches, milk, custard buns and coffee in his hand, and his mouth was watering. "Give it to me quickly."
As he said this, he reached out to take it.
However, Gu Xun raised his hand in disdain and gave the bag of hearty breakfast to Yue Qianling.
After Yue Qianling took it, he gave the other bag to Yi Hong.
Yi Hong looked at the simple breakfast that Gu Xun handed to him, then looked at what Yue Qianling was holding, and both his vision and taste were shocked.
He swallowed and refused to answer it with dignity.
"Gu Xun, why are you so biased?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Qianling's eyelashes trembled and she looked up at Gu Xun.
Gu Xun just stuffed the thing into his hand with a little disgust.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Yi Hong very confidently.
"Is your heart located right in the middle?"
