Chapter 52 Picking Flowers
The black gold fell to the west, and the last ray of light was completely swallowed up, and the room was completely plunged into the darkness of the night.
The two of them maintained this posture for a long time without moving.
Yue Qianling's hand was still on Gu Xun's back, and his hair rubbed her cheek, making it a little itchy.
But she didn't care, the words "You are my first love" were still echoing in her mind.
The feeling of joy was like thick ink dripping into water, quickly spreading throughout Yue Qianling's body.
She found herself a little vain, and felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction when she learned that Gu Xun had never liked any other girls.
Alas, this is not good.
So Yue Qianling licked the corner of his lips in the dark and whispered, "Me too."
"What?"
Gu Xun raised his head, "What are you too?"
The two bodies were only a fist apart, and his breath hit Yue Qianling's face, causing waves of burning sensation.
Although the light was dim, Yue Qianling could clearly feel his burning gaze on her face.
I'm a little embarrassed.
"nothing."
Yue Qianling pushed him and changed the subject, "Why don't you get up? Do you want to suffocate me to death?"
Gu Xun took a deep breath, but still had no intention of getting up.
"I'm not," he paused, "still waiting for your answer."
"You all——"
The words in my throat were about to come out, but the belated feeling of shame blocked them back.
Yue Qianling blinked, looked away, and raised his chin to try to make himself look more imposing.
"You're already like this... and you still have the nerve to ask for my opinion?"
Gu Xun probably didn't hear her voice-over and thought she was blaming him for the forced kiss, so he just smiled.
"Can you please be reasonable? You kissed me first, so I have to kiss you back, right?"
Yue Qianling's face turned red, and she couldn't say anything to refute.
"and……"
Gu Xun pressed his elbows down, pressed his upper body against hers, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, "I warned you last time, if you touch me again, it won't be solved by a kiss on the forehead."
Yue Qianling was not used to hearing him say such things, and didn't know how to respond calmly, so she subconsciously reached out and deliberately patted him on the back.
"Are you so fragile?"
"yes."
Gu Xun grabbed her flailing wrist with his backhand, "Don't you know that men of our age..."
He paused deliberately, dragged her hand slowly to his waist, and said in a deep voice: "The desire is strong."
“…”
Even a deep kiss didn't make Yue Qianling feel like her brain was exploding.
She pulled her hand back in panic, pushed hard, and sat up with her legs kicked up as if escaping.
Gu Xun didn't think about how long he would suppress her. He was caught off guard, and after she pushed him to the other end of the sofa, he simply sat down sideways.
But seeing Yue Qianling was in a hurry to leave the sofa, Gu Xun raised his leg, stepped to the side of the coffee table and stopped her from going down.
Yue Qianling had no choice but to half-sit on the sofa and look at him with bulging eyes.
"What else do you want to do?"
"Waiting for your answer."
Gu Xun tilted his head and looked at her straight, "Do you want to date me?"
Although Yue Qianling felt like she had been waiting for these words for a long time.
While watching him from afar, I had imagined many times how he would sound when he said this.
But when Gu Xun really said it, she still felt light-headed and unreal.
I don't know when the sunset completely set, and the living room was as dark as night, which exacerbated the sense of ethereality.
It feels like a dream.
It is even possible that when he wakes up, the whole world will return to the time when he could only pass by him.
Driven by this consciousness, Yue Qianling unconsciously raised his hand and touched his jaw.
Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was doing, and just let her touch him quietly.
His face seemed a little hot, and when the burning touch slowly spread from the palm of his hand to the tip of his heart, Yue Qianling suddenly came back to his senses and finally realized that all this was true.
At the same time, she saw Gu Xun's puzzled look and suddenly realized how stupid her behavior looked.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Gu Xun asked, "What are you touching?"
Oh fuck.
I hope he can see through my silly thoughts.
"I was looking at—"
Yue Qianling's eyes flickered slightly, "Does your face hurt?"
“…”
Seeing that he was speechless, Yue Qianling suppressed the urge to laugh and said word by word: "You said it yourself at the beginning that you would not like me, and would never like me. I am not your type at all."
After a few seconds of stalemate, Gu Xun groaned in his throat, lowered his head slightly, and in this position, rubbed her palm with his chin.
"I didn't know it was you."
He sighed deeply and added: "In fact, you clearly know that I have always liked you."
Um.
It seems like he knows.
At this point, Yue Qianling felt that he had nothing to ask and nothing to say.
The corners of her mouth curved as she prepared to withdraw her hand.
As soon as he pulled away, Gu Xun held her hand, still pressing it tightly against his face.
"You kissed me and touched me, but you're not responsible for me?"
Yue Qianling lowered her eyes and didn't look at him.
"I understand. I will be responsible for you."
"So you are mine now...?"
Gu Xun asked.
Yue Qianling spoke in a small voice, one word at a time.
"girlfriend."
"Yeah, girlfriend."
After saying that, he just looked at Yue Qianling, suddenly laughed, then took her hand and kissed her fingertips gently.
Yue Qianling was still unable to get used to such close contact, and she withdrew her hand as if she had been burned.
The next second, she realized something was wrong and reached out to touch him again.
Gu Xun felt a little helpless.
"Haven't you touched enough? Just touching the face is boring, how about you touch other places?"
"……Shut up."
Yue Qianling moved her palm upwards and gently touched his forehead, "Why is it so hot?"
Seeing Gu Xun silent, Yue Qianling thought of something, and suddenly leaned closer, looking up at his eyes.
"So you were so nervous just now?"
My face is so hot.
Gu Xun chuckled, then stood up and turned on the light.
The moment the white light shone down from above his head, Yue Qianling saw that Gu Xun's face was indeed a little red.
But the redness was abnormal, a little pathological.
"You..." Yue Qianling asked hesitantly, "Are you sick?"
"Perhaps."
Gu Xun bent down to pick up the cup on the table, then went to the kitchen to pour hot water.
Yue Qianling stared at his back for a long time before she came back to her senses and asked hurriedly, "Did you get heatstroke or something? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No, maybe I'm a little tired these past two days."
As he was talking, Gu Xun had already poured the hot water and walked back. He sat down next to Yue Qianling and drank most of the cup in one gulp.
Only then did Yue Qianling realize that his face was indeed a little pale.
Come to think of it, he hadn't gotten enough rest these past few days. He rushed home yesterday and flew back in the middle of the night, so he almost didn't sleep all night.
The air conditioner was turned on so low at the moment. Yue Qianling thought that he had just fallen asleep on the sofa, it would be strange if he was not sick.
So Yue Qianling also stood up and walked towards the cabinet behind him.
The medicine I bought last time is still there, but it has been neatly stacked in the box.
Yue Qianling picked out a few items, put them on the table, and pointed to the dinner she brought back.
"Eat your meal first, or it will get cold. And remember to take your cold medicine. If it doesn't work, you still have to go to the hospital."
Gu Xun said okay, and Yue Qianling stood up: "Then I'll go back."
"Um?"
Gu Xun looked up, a little surprised, "You're going back now?"
"Um."
Yue Qianling bent down and picked up the bag on the table, "I still need to draw the line drawings."
After a long while, Gu Xun finally uttered "Oh" softly.
"Then go to bed early."
"oh."
In fact, Yue Qianling felt that Gu Xun was a little disappointed.
He seems to be particularly clingy when he is sick.
But Yue Qianling has not yet adapted to the relationship between her and Gu Xun, and doesn't know what to do if she stays.
And she does have work to do.
-
After returning home, Yue Qianling still felt a little hot all over, so she quickly went to take a shower.
The warm water poured over her head, but it couldn't suppress Yue Qianling's euphoric mood.
She stayed in the shower for a long time until the oxygen in the bathroom became so thin that she could hardly breathe.
Standing in front of the sink, she dried her hair, looked at herself in the mirror, and started laughing for no apparent reason.
Gu Xun is her boyfriend.
It wasn’t a dream.
When she thought of this title, she felt like a feather was tickling her heart. She wanted to share it with everyone, but she was a little embarrassed.
After hesitating for a long time, she opened her Moments and posted four words.
"I'm pulling weeds."
After a while, she opened her phone again and saw several friends asking her what she had been weeding and whether she had bought anything good.
Yue Qianling curled the corners of her lips but didn't reply.
When I refreshed my phone, I found a familiar avatar in my Moments.
Gu Xun also posted his first circle of friends on WeChat.
"defloration."
-
Although the two have many mutual friends, they are also colleagues in the company.
But no one would associate the two circles of friends together because they have no beginning or end.
It’s just that Yue Qianling felt guilty and always felt that their behavior was too obvious and others might know what was going on at a glance.
So the next day when she went to the company with Gu Xun as usual, she was a little absent-minded, always thinking about how she would answer if someone asked her.
It was the first time she faced this situation and she had no experience, so she felt very embarrassed.
But Gu Xun obviously didn't have such concerns. As soon as he got out of the car, he naturally held Yue Qianling's hand.
"Hey wait."
Yue Qianling pulled her hand out awkwardly, looked around, and whispered, "Can you keep a low profile?"
Gu Xun knew what she was thinking and didn't insist, but he felt a little unhappy.
"I am very shameful?"
"That's not the case."
Yue Qianling curled up her fingers and scratched her palm, "I'm just a little embarrassed."
“…”
Gu Xun didn’t know what to say. He was a little angry, but also wanted to laugh.
"All right."
The two of them entered the elevator together, just like usual, keeping a proper distance.
Until we separated, there was no excessive closeness between us.
However, looking at his back, Yue Qianling felt a little guilty.
well.
But what can I do?
This was her first time in love, and she couldn't commit to the relationship so she walked hand in hand with her boyfriend into the sight of all her colleagues on the first day.
Just as she was worrying, she received a message from Su Zheng, asking her to go to the Ninth Business Unit for a meeting.
Yue Qianling quickly put down her things, said something to Huang Jie, and went upstairs with her computer and cell phone.
Going to the art department's meeting room requires passing through the development department.
However, Gu Xun usually likes to stay alone and doesn't often stay in the hall. Even though Yue Qianling often comes here during this period, the two of them basically don't meet unless he deliberately looks for her.
But today seems a little special.
Yue Qianling had just taken a few steps inside when she saw Gu Xun and several colleagues walking towards her, talking and laughing.
As soon as she met his eyes, Yue Qianling lowered her head a little unnaturally.
Yi Hong, who was traveling with her, was completely unaware of her abnormality and greeted her from a distance.
"Morning, have you had breakfast?"
Yue Qianling just nodded, smiled at him, and walked past them with her computer in her arms.
"Why?"
Yi Hong felt that something was a little strange and turned his head to look at her from behind. "Has she been squeezed silly by Wei Han? Why does she look so dazed?"
Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled, then turned Yi Hong's head back.
"Look again, and I'll dig your eyes out."
-
She didn't know whether it was Murphy's Law being tested on her again or whether Gu Xun did it on purpose, but Yue Qianling always felt that she and Gu Xun had many chances to meet this morning.
I would meet him when I went to the tea room, and he would just come out when I went to the bathroom.
Even when I went to print drawings, I would see him using the printer.
There were many colleagues around, so the two of them didn't talk much.
Until lunch break.
Yue Qianling had just turned on the computer when she received a message from Gu Xun.
【School Prince】: Waiting for you at the door.
She smiled to herself and walked out with her phone.
Seeing Gu Xun standing there from afar, she deliberately slowed down her pace, not wanting to be too obvious.
As a result, when they were still a few steps away from Gu Xun, Yi Hong and a few boys appeared from nowhere, jumped in front of Gu Xun, and hooked his shoulders.
"Eat, eat, let's go and get things ready!"
Yue Qianling didn't know those boys. Seeing this, she had to silently change direction and walk towards the elevator on the other side.
However, when passing through the door of the safe passage, footsteps suddenly sounded behind me.
Before she could even look back, she was dragged into a safety passage nearby.
It all happened too fast. Before Yue Qianling could react, Gu Xun had already pushed her against the door.
She breathed heavily and could clearly hear people talking outside.
"Where's Gu Xun?"
"Where is he? How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
“…”
Yue Qianling spoke only after he felt the voices were fading away.
"What are you doing?"
"I've been holding it in for the whole morning,"
Gu Xun tilted his head to look at her, his expression was quite serious, "I came here to have an affair with you."
