Chapter 39 I'm chasing you.
The moment the man opened his mouth, Yue Qianling felt that his voice was particularly familiar.
And the key words in his words were so obvious that it was hard not to guess who he was.
However, the impact came too suddenly. Yue Qianling hesitated for a long time before speaking uncertainly: "Xiaomi?"
“It’s me!”
Xiaomai spoke excitedly, but his voice was so loud that the voice-activated light suddenly lit up, illuminating his face clearly.
“…”
Yue Qianling was still in shock when the phone in his palm suddenly vibrated twice.
The call to the police was connected.
Yue Qianling quickly picked up the phone and kept apologizing.
"I'm sorry, I'm too sensitive. We're just friends. I'm fine now."
"I'm sorry, sorry to bother you."
The police confirmed several times that Yue Qianling was not threatened before hanging up the phone.
After listening to the entire phone call, Xiaomai became even more confused.
"You...what's going on?"
Yue Qianling's mind was still confused and she didn't know how to explain it to Xiaomai.
Then, another call came.
When Yue Qianling saw that the caller ID showed it was Gu Xun, she pursed her lips and picked up the phone with something to say.
"Where are you now? Have you called the police? I'll be back soon."
Yue Qianling glanced at Xiaomai, then stammered, "Nothing... Xiaomai is here."
Gu Xun was silent for a while and then hung up the phone.
In just a few tens of seconds, the cold sweat on Yue Qianling's back had soaked her clothes, making them stick to her back.
Looking up again, in the quiet corridor, Yue Qianling remembered the "husband" she had just called her. The fear faded away, leaving only embarrassment.
Xiaomai was still looking at Yue Qianling in confusion. She swallowed and said, "Why don't we go in and talk about it first?"
-
Yue Qianling almost forgot that she was standing at the door of Gu Xun's house. She reached out and pressed her fingerprint, but there was no response.
Seeing this, Xiaomai walked up to her and entered the password.
Yue Qianling hesitated for a moment, thinking that it seemed strange to bring Xiaomai to her home, so she followed him into Gu Xun's house.
Xiaomai had just arrived in Jiangcheng. Gu Xun was at the company and had no time to talk to him, so he told him the password of his home and told him to go back first.
So when Xiaomai walked in, she felt quite unfamiliar.
He looked around, sat on the sofa, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's quite clean."
After Yue Qianling came in, he put down what he was holding, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, and felt his throat was dry.
I remembered that I bought a bottle of ice mineral water when I came back, and it was in the bag.
So she lowered her head to look through the bag, "Xiaomi, do you want some water? I have mineral water here."
Xiaomai turned her head and followed her arm down, and saw that the bag contained men's clothes.
He raised his eyebrows and admired it in his heart.
Lin Xun is really good at keeping it a secret.
"No, no, I just finished a bottle of water when I got off the bus."
Although the two had known each other for a long time, this was their first meeting. Yue Qianling didn't know what to say, so she unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big sip of water.
Before she could swallow it, she saw Xiaomai staring at her intently and asked, "Are you living together with Lin Xun?"
"puff--"
A mouthful of water spurted out, choking Yue Qianling so much that he felt dizzy. He bent over and coughed for a long time before raising his head with a flushed face.
"This is our first meeting, so you don't have to say something so shocking."
After calming down, Yue Qianling sat on the sofa with Xiaomai and told him everything that had happened in the past few days.
Xiaomai knew that Yue Qianling had actually been followed. She was shocked for a while, and then she saw Yue Qianling pointing at the shopping bag on the ground.
"Didn't you see that I bought a bunch of men's clothes? I was planning to dry them on the balcony to prevent others from having bad intentions when they see me living alone. So what I said just now was just a temporary measure. We are just... ordinary neighbors."
When Xiaomai heard this, she didn't know what she was thinking. After a long while, she just said "Oh".
"It seems he can't do it."
That sounds quite disappointing.
Yue Qianling: "What?"
"nothing."
Xiaomai touched the back of his head.
He thought Gu Xun was so capable that he managed to lure the girl into his home to live with him in just a few days and even asked her husband to come along.
During the two seconds of thinking, he suddenly thought of something else.
Yue Qianling and Gu Xun were neighbors, and now they recognized him and were not surprised.
So.
"Wait a minute, so you—"
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Yue Qianling raised her eyes and said, "Hmm?"
"You...know everything?"
“…”
Yue Qianling clenched the bottle of mineral water in her hand and said with a fake smile: "So you and Luotuo know everything too, right?"
Hearing her voice, Xiaomai felt the familiar murderous aura surrounding him, and immediately moved to the corner of the sofa and covered his head with a pillow.
"Then we are also confused and don't know how to tell you! What if you get angry and don't want to play games, Lin Xun will definitely not play mobile games anymore, so who will take me flying?"
Hearing this, Yue Qianling remained silent.
Her focus is on the second half of the sentence about wheat.
She doesn't play games anymore, and Gu Xun doesn't play mobile games anymore.
She glanced at Xiaomai and wanted to ask something, but felt a little embarrassed, so she shut her mouth.
The living room suddenly fell silent.
Yue Qianling slowly withdrew her gaze and stared at her knees, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xiaomai glanced at her sideways several times, wanting to ask something, but felt that it was not convenient for her to speak, so she secretly took out her cell phone.
I originally wanted to send a message to Luotuo, but after thinking about it, I switched to the small group of three people that included Gu Xun.
[Xiaomai]: Oh shit, I saw Xiao Mahua!
[Xiaomi]: She didn’t lie, she is really a beauty!
[Xiaomi]: And when I came over just now, she actually said that Lin Xun was her husband!
【camel】:? ? ?
[Xiaomi]: Well, she explained to me that it was a misunderstanding and she thought I was a bad person, so that’s why she said that.
【camel】:?
[Xiaomi]: She said she and Lin Xun were just ordinary neighbors.
[Xiaomai]: Alas, Lin Xun, you are really no good. At this time, people still just treat you as an ordinary neighbor.
【Camel】: Waste.
【Wheat】: Waste.
At this time, Gu Xun was on his way home.
He originally wanted to say something in reply, but when he saw Xiaomai's next words, he pinched his phone, said nothing, and just quickened his pace.
-
Yue Qianling saw Xiaomai was playing with her cell phone. This was the first time they met and they had just experienced a misunderstanding. She didn't know what to talk about anymore, so she took her things and prepared to go back.
Xiaomai didn't stop him. After she left, he walked around Gu Xun's house and then took a shower.
As soon as I came out, I saw Gu Xun already standing in the living room.
Because Xiaomai didn't go home for the Chinese New Year, the last time they met was last summer vacation, which means it has been a year.
So Xiaomai walked over enthusiastically, ready to give him a brotherly hug.
However, Gu Xun stretched out his hand to block him, holding him at arm's length, and looked around, not paying any attention to him at all.
"Where's Yue Qianling?"
Xiaomai: "Who is Yue Qianling?"
Gu Xun lowered his eyes and looked at him solemnly.
Two seconds later, Xiaomai reacted.
"Little Mahua, she's back home."
Gu Xun said "Oh" without any surprise, looked at the time, turned around and walked out.
Xiaomai followed him: "Where are you going?"
"Dinner."
Xiaomai was just about to ask whether they should ask Yue Qianling to come along, when she saw Gu Xun walking straight towards the door opposite.
He looked at Gu Xun's back and snorted.
-
Yue Qianling had just put the men's clothes she bought on the balcony to dry when she heard the doorbell.
Because Xiaomai had come, Yue Qianling knew roughly who was knocking on the door, so she was not surprised when she saw Gu Xun standing at her door.
"What's up?"
Before Gu Xun could say anything, Xiaomai popped her head out from behind him.
"Your average neighbor wants to have dinner with you."
It was normal for us to have dinner together since it was our first meeting.
But he used the word "about", which made the sentence a little subtle.
Yue Qianling raised her eyes and looked at Gu Xun.
"Yeah?"
Gu Xun raised his chin to the side and said, "Shall we go?"
Xiaomai was also looking at Yue Qianling eagerly from behind, as if she felt that there was a high probability that she would refuse.
Unexpectedly, Yue Qianling nodded promptly.
"OK."
There is nothing to hesitate about.
The three of them entered the elevator together. Before pressing the floor button, Gu Xun suddenly asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Ah, I don't know what you guys are doing here—"
Xiaomai was halfway through his speech when suddenly Gu Xun seemed not to be asking him.
Because he was watching Yue Qianling talking.
Xiaomai nodded resignedly and looked at Yue Qianling.
"Your guest is asking me." Yue Qianling muttered, and returned the question to Xiaomai, "You came all the way here, is there anything you want to eat?"
"You are the only one who remembers that I am a guest. You are so kind."
Xiaomai smiled and moved closer to Yue Qianling. "I don't know what delicious food you have here. Can you recommend something? Just don't go too far. The weather is too hot."
"Then let's stick to the principle?"
Yue Qianling took out her phone and started looking through things, mumbling, "A few days ago, my colleague told me that a restaurant opened nearby. She had been there and said it was delicious. I've always wanted to go there, but I didn't have the time."
Xiaomai: "It's better to get closer. What's the dish?"
Yue Qianling: "Grilled fish, Xiaomai, do you want to eat it?"
"I can."
Xiaomai touched her nose and looked at Gu Xun, "But he..."
Yue Qianling raised her eyes, "What's wrong with him?"
Gu Xun also looked at Xiaomai with her: "Yeah, what's wrong with me?"
wheat:"……"
After living together for so many years, Xiaomai is very familiar with Gu Xun's eating habits.
When he was a child, he often ate alone at home. Once, a fish bone got stuck in his throat, so he drank vinegar and almost suffocated. There was no one at home, so it was Camel’s parents who sent him to the hospital.
Since then, he seemed to have a psychological trauma and never ate fish again.
But now.
"Nothing, just eat fish, I'm not afraid of bones."
That was the end of their conversation.
But Yue Qianling was not stupid. From what Xiaomai and Gu Xun said, she guessed that Gu Xun didn't eat fish.
He just wasn't bothered to say it.
Thinking of this, Yue Qianling slowed down and looked at his phone again.
"Let's go get some Chinese food."
Gu Xun looked back at her: "Why?"
Yue Qianling said nothing and walked forward without looking around.
Just as she passed by him, she muttered, "You are such a picky eater."
Gu Xun stood there in a daze for two seconds.
Then, he curled the corners of his mouth and quickly followed.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, stretching their shadows into long and slender shapes, and the two figures crossed each other and walked towards the light.
-
Xiaomai doesn't talk much when playing games, but he is actually a very outgoing person in private.
At the dinner table, all he could hear was him asking Yue Qianling questions, the two of them talking back and forth, and Gu Xun didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
After the meal, it was getting dark.
Walking out of the restaurant, Gu Xun looked at the people coming and going, and suddenly felt that this rare weekend was a bit of a waste.
“It’s really hot.”
Xiaomai took a gulp of iced cola and turned to look at Yue Qianling, "I don't want to stay outside anymore. How about we go back and play some games? You haven't played in a four-person team with us for a long time. You must be slacking off in your e-sports career!"
Yue Qianling also felt it was extremely hot, and she had been busy until midnight almost every night these days, so she really needed to relax.
Anyway, everyone knows everything now, so she has nothing to worry about.
"Okay, I—"
"Why don't you go back first, Xiaomai."
The evening breeze blows, bringing with it the strong smell of fireworks unique to summer nights.
Gu Xun looked at the movie theater across the street and touched the back of Yue Qianling's hand, "Shall we do something else?"
Although it was just a small gesture, Yue Qianling's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little itchy on the back of her hand. However, she didn't show it on her face and said calmly, "What do you want to do?"
As Gu Xun opened his mouth, Xiaomai's head popped out from behind him again.
"He wants to pick you up."
Yue Qianling: “…”
Gu Xun: “…”
They both turned around and glared at Xiaomai at the same time.
Yue Qianling: "Do you think I'm instant noodles?"
Gu Xun: "Can you please stop talking nonsense?"
They spoke almost in unison, looked at each other, and fell silent again.
Xiaomai realized that she had said something wrong and covered her mouth embarrassedly, giving Yue Qianling an apologetic look.
But Yue Qianling didn't see Xiaomai's eyes at all. She heard the tone of Gu Xun's eager denial just now, and a strange emotion suddenly arose in her heart.
Just say how is it possible.
It turned out that she had been being too sentimental during this period of time.
Neon lights flickered on the roadside, and the red light reflected on Yue Qianling's face, hiding all the emotions in her eyes.
Gu Xun looked down at her, "I didn't mean what Xiaomai said."
Yue Qianling slowly lowered her eyes and said "Oh" softly.
Perhaps it was her "Oh" that carried a bit of complicated emotions, which touched a string in Gu Xun's heart.
He stared at Yue Qianling for a while.
Suddenly he bent down, leaned over to her ear, and spoke in a voice that only she could hear.
"I'm chasing you."
