Chapter 46 Don't Laugh
It was already past midnight, and notifying my colleagues at this time seemed to be of no use.
It might disturb other people's rest, so let's just talk about it tomorrow.
Yue Qianling thought so but couldn't fall asleep peacefully.
Even with her eyes closed, her mind was still very clear.
——At this moment, she was lying on Gu Xun's bed.
The sheets beneath him, the quilt covering him, and even the pillow all seemed to have his scent, as if he was hugging him.
Yue Qianling had never thought that lying alone could make her so uneasy.
She closed her eyes for a long time but couldn't fall asleep, so she opened her eyes, turned on the bedside lamp, and looked at his room again and again.
Unlike her crowded room, his house seemed to be empty.
Even on the desk, there were only two computers and a pile of professional books.
…
At this time in the living room, Gu Xun was not asleep either.
He looked at the light seeping through the crack in the door, raised his eyes, and wanted to go over and say something to her.
At this moment, the cell phone on the table vibrated again.
This time there was a caller ID, it was Su Zheng.
But what could he possibly want by calling at this hour?
Gu Xun's sixth sense is sometimes very strong.
He glanced at the door of the room before picking up his phone and walking towards the balcony.
After answering the phone, Su Zheng asked directly: "Are you still awake?"
"Um, what is it?"
"Oh, aren't you and Yue Qianling neighbors?"
Su Zheng said, "She didn't reply to my messages tonight and didn't answer my calls, so I'm a little worried that something happened to her. Do you know where she is now?"
It turned out to be Yue Qianling’s business.
Gu Xun lowered his eyes to look at the street lights downstairs and said calmly, "She's fine."
After the words were spoken, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
"That……"
Gu Xun looked back at the door and said calmly, "Her phone was locked at home and I can't get it. She is at my house now and has fallen asleep."
Su Zheng seemed to have spent several seconds digesting the information contained in this sentence.
When he spoke again, his voice became deep.
"You guys...are in love?"
Gu Xun was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Not yet."
Not yet.
These three words contain more information than the previous sentence.
Su Zheng on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and skipped the topic.
"Oh, I'm glad she's okay. When can she get her phone?"
"Not sure, the earliest will be a weekend afternoon."
"Is that so..." Su Zheng sighed, "Then could you please ask her if she can come to the company tomorrow?"
"tomorrow?"
Gu Xun raised his eyebrows, "Isn't tomorrow the weekend?"
"That's right. I was going to send her a line drawing today, but Wei Han looked at the sketch and felt that some changes were needed."
Su Zheng paused, and then said, "You know the art department is also rushing to meet deadlines. I wanted to ask her to stay at home and revise the design over the next two days, but now she doesn't have a cell phone, so it's difficult to do. I can only ask her to come to the company."
Gu Xun turned around and saw that the light in the crack of the door was still bright, so he said, "Okay, I'll tell her later."
After saying that, he was ready to hang up the phone.
"etc!"
Su Zheng called him again, "She doesn't have a cell phone, it's inconvenient on the road, give me an address, I'll pick her up at noon."
"……Need not."
Gu Xun walked towards the door of the room, "She doesn't have a cell phone, not legs."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xun saw that the light was still on, so he knocked on the door.
"Are you asleep?"
The next second, the light in the crack of the door immediately dimmed.
Yue Qianling on the bed subconsciously pulled up the quilt to cover half of her head and shouted outside: "Sleep!"
“…”
Gu Xun knocked on the door twice more, "I didn't say I wanted to sleep with you. I just want to tell you something serious."
After a while, the sound of light footsteps was heard in the room.
Yue Qianling opened the door a crack and poked his head out. "What's the matter?"
"Su Zheng said your sketch needs to be revised, and asked if you could come to the company tomorrow at noon."
Yue Qianling didn't show any annoyance, and nodded almost immediately: "Go ahead, no problem."
Gu Xun lowered his eyes to look into her sparkling eyes and sighed almost inaudibly.
"All right."
"But……"
Yue Qianling looked down at the pajamas she was wearing and said, "I suddenly thought, what should I wear if I go there tomorrow?"
"Don't worry about that."
Gu Xun suddenly reached out and pushed her forehead, "Go to sleep, I'll call you in the morning."
-
I don’t know if it was because of the aftereffects of the horror movie that night, or because the room was filled with Gu Xun’s presence.
Yue Qianling inevitably suffered from insomnia.
Without her cell phone, she didn't know what time she fell asleep. She seemed to see the faint morning light shining through the curtains.
When I woke up naturally the next day, it was already bright.
Yue Qianling sat up in a daze, got out of bed, opened the curtains, and seeing the scorching sun, all sleepiness suddenly disappeared without a trace.
She immediately turned and walked out.
The moment she opened the door, Yue Qianling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Xun sitting in the living room.
Gu Xun was still there, which meant she didn't oversleep.
I looked up at the clock again and it was already eleven o'clock.
"woke up?"
There was some food on the table, still steaming, obviously just bought.
Gu Xun raised his chin towards her and said, "I'll take you to the company after dinner."
Yue Qianling nodded and walked towards him.
As I passed the sofa, I saw a new shopping bag on it.
Obviously there wasn't any last night.
She stopped and bent over to take a look.
You don't have to take it out to look closely to know what it is.
"You went out this morning and bought it for me?"
"Um."
Gu Xun looked at her and asked, "Try it?"
"What's there to try? If it doesn't fit, you can only wear this."
Although she said this, Yue Qianling still took the clothes and went into the room.
There were not many stores open in the morning, so Gu Xun went to the nearest shopping mall. He didn't have much time to choose, so he just bought a short-sleeved shirt, long pants, and a pair of sneakers.
But surprisingly, the size was just right.
"You actually guessed my size?"
Yue Qianling adjusted her trouser legs and asked incredulously, "The waist size is just right."
Gu Xun was drinking soy milk and said nonchalantly, "It's not like I'm buying underwear. How can I not be sure by eyeballing it?"
“…”
Yue Qianling slowly raised her head and stared at him coldly.
Gu Xun felt Yue Qianling's glare, his Adam's apple rolled, and he said calmly, "Do you think I farted?"
Living under someone else's roof, Yue Qianling decided not to bother with him.
-
The two arrived at the company at 11:40.
Although it is the weekend, there are still many people in the company working overtime.
Su Zheng was chatting with Yi Hong in the public office area when he heard someone greeting Yue Qianling. He turned around and saw that Gu Xun had also come.
He lowered his eyes to hide the strangeness in his eyes, then looked up and greeted Yue Qianling with a smile.
"Are you here? Wei Han is waiting for you in the office. Just go find him."
Yue Qianling nodded and walked directly to the corner.
Gu Xun found a random seat next to Yi Hong and sat down.
He was on a day off today and had nothing to do, so he planned to check on Yi Hong's code progress.
Su Zheng was standing on the other side of Yi Hong. When Gu Xun sat over, he became a little absent-minded.
He turned his head quietly, glanced at Gu Xun, then turned his head to watch Yue Qianling's back disappear at the end of the corridor.
After a moment, he frowned and lowered his eyes.
-
Because they arrived at the company at noon, Yue Qianling and Wei Han didn't talk for much before it was lunch time.
In order to save time, Wei Han brought the takeaway directly to the office. The two of them ate and chatted, and after half an hour they had agreed on the issue of modifying the sketch.
Yue Qianling returned to the mobile game department alone.
It was a rare day today as the entire art team did not have to work overtime. Yue Qianling sat alone in the empty office area, feeling quiet and comfortable, and also very efficient.
At half past five, she submitted the revised sketch to the main program, then got up and went to the ninth business unit.
The working hours of this department are really casual. There were only a dozen people when they came at noon, but by five or six o'clock, the number of people doubled.
When passing by the development department, Yue Qianling glanced casually and saw Gu Xun sitting there, looking at the computer intently.
The weather seems to be particularly good today. It is almost dusk, but the sky is full of bright clouds.
Yue Qianling paused unconsciously, and her eyes passed through the office area and fell on Gu Xun's face.
The molten gold afterglow shone through the window onto his face, casting a layer of fine golden light on his outline.
For the first time, Yue Qianling looked at Gu Xun so boldly.
Unlike before, she seemed to be able to only secretly watch him from a distance.
But now, for some reason, she felt inexplicably confident in her heart and was no longer afraid that Gu Xun would notice her gaze.
Several seconds passed and Yue Qianling did not move.
Until Su Zheng called her at the door of the conference room.
"Yue Qianling, come here."
She suddenly came to her senses and walked towards Su Zheng.
When Yue Qianling turned around, Gu Xun also heard the noise. He turned back and followed her eyes until she entered the meeting room.
Su Zheng was looking for Yue Qianling or Sigrid.
Taking advantage of the time, he explained to her in detail some of his ideas about line drawing design.
Once you start talking about such fantastic things, the topic will easily go off track.
Su Zheng himself is a man with a rich imagination. During the conversation, he talked about his creative ideas that had been rejected.
When it came to the interesting parts, Yue Qianling leaned back in her chair and laughed so hard that she was shaking.
Fortunately, the conference room has good sound insulation, otherwise the whole floor would be filled with Yue Qianling's laughter.
But not being able to hear doesn’t mean not being able to see.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, interrupting the conversation between Yue Qianling and Su Zheng.
Yue Qianling turned around, looked out through the floor-to-ceiling glass, and saw that it was Gu Xun who knocked on the door.
When the door was pushed open, she didn't have time to hide the smile on her face.
Gu Xun glanced at her indifferently, then looked at Su Zheng.
"The administration wants to order dinner and wants to know if you want to eat."
Whenever they work overtime, the company’s administration will ask them to order meals.
Su Zheng was not surprised to hear this. He just turned around and asked Yue Qianling, "How about eating before leaving? Wei Han will be free soon."
Yue Qianling nodded: "Okay."
"What to eat?"
Gu Xun tilted his head to look at Yue Qianling, his eyes not hiding his current emotions, "Order West Lake Vinegar Fish?"
“…”
Yue Qianling lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her lips.
"No, I don't want to eat fish for now."
-
Coming out of the conference room, Yue Qianling still couldn't suppress the curve of the corners of his lips.
Although it was not kind to think this way, when Gu Xun blatantly revealed his "jealousy" in front of her, she did feel a strong sense of being cared for.
well.
It's a pity that this is just jealousy.
I can't find the right person to be jealous of.
Yue Qianling thought about this while walking towards the tea room.
She took half a cup of warm water and just took a sip when she saw Gu Xun walking towards her.
Something that was expected.
There was no logic, Yue Qianling knew that he would come to find her.
Thinking of this, the smile on Yue Qianling's lips couldn't help but deepen, and her dimples were slightly revealed.
But Gu Xun had a sullen face, and the moment he saw her dimples, he suddenly swallowed back what he was about to say.
Are you so happy every time you are with Su Zheng?
Gu Xun thought about it and it seemed that Yue Qianling didn’t laugh like this when they were alone together.
She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and she didn't say anything.
Gu Xun looked at her smiling to herself and suddenly felt that the pair of dimples were particularly dazzling.
Suddenly, he reached out and pinched Yue Qianling's dimple.
Yue Qianling immediately turned her face away, not looking at him, just staring at the ground.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Xun said nothing, just looked at her closely.
Of course Yue Qianling knew that Gu Xun's eyes were on her.
I don't know how to respond, the smile on my lips becomes deeper and deeper, dimples on my cheeks appear faintly
Little did she know how annoying her lewd expression was in Gu Xun's eyes.
After a moment, Yue Qianling opened his mouth and spoke.
"Su Zheng, he——"
Before he could finish his words, his chin was suddenly pinched.
The next second, Gu Xun came closer, his lips brushed across her dimples, stayed for a moment, and then moved to her ear.
"Stop laughing."
His voice was low, and there seemed to be a hint of grievance in his toughness.
This caused Yue Qianling to feel like she was in a dream, and she couldn't tell whether Gu Xun had just... kissed her on the cheek.
