Chapter 320: Crossing the River Demolition
Wang Yuanling was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Of course not."
"Then don't just sit there, eat." Gu Zhou curled his lips, opened another bottle, and drank it with his head tilted back.
She smiled lightly: "Okay~ Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhou's voice was hoarse with bubbles: "It's hard for Mr. Ling who has been holding the plate all the time."
Wang Yuanling gave a dry smile.
Being interrupted by him like this.
The loss just now disappeared.
She breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a skewer of meat, and politely handed it to Gu Zhou first.
"Mr. Gu, please go first."
Gu Zhou casually held her hand, didn't refuse, took it and started eating.
When Wang Yuanling saw him eating, he picked up a string and started eating too.
Grilled kebabs with iced cola.
It’s delicious indeed.
She exclaimed: "It's delicious. Mr. Gu's grilling skills are amazing."
This praise is sincere and not false at all.
Gu Zhou drawled, tapping the edge of the plate with his fingertips: "Then eat it all, don't leave any leftovers."
Wang Yuanling chewed, his left hand clenched into a fist in front of his mouth, and his tone was a little unclear: "Let's eat together."
Gu Zhou said lazily, "I'm not hungry."
Wang Yuanling paused chewing and asked with concern, "So, what would Mr. Gu like to eat? I'll go out and buy it for you."
After all, they worked hard all night.
Even if you feel uneasy, you have to pretend.
Gu Zhou pursed his lips: "No, eat yours."
"but……"
Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her with a leisurely voice: "Why? Are you so worried about whether I've eaten or not?"
His brows were unfocused, as if he had a deeper meaning.
Wang Yuanling raised his lips politely and stopped caring: "Okay, then I won't be polite."
After she said that, she picked up another skewer and started eating it, not bothering to pay attention to him.
Seeing that she finally stopped worrying about nothing, Gu Zhou snorted and took another sip of ice cola.
When she finally finished eating.
Tried to get up and help the kids clean up.
My butt just lifted off the stool.
Gu Zhou pressed his shoulders and helped him sit back down.
"Mr. Gu?"
Gu Zhou crushed the empty Coke bottle with one hand and said nonchalantly, "Developing children's ability to tidy up independently is also an important aspect of education. Didn't your grandparents teach you that?"
"I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll help collect them."
Gu Zhou looked at her with interest: "My shoulders are quite sore. Since you are free, can you help me massage them?"
Wang Yuanling: ...
She was baffled, but since he had spoken, it was hard to refuse: "If Mr. Gu doesn't mind..."
"Forget it, I hate it."
She swallowed the words she had prepared.
I can see it.
Just don't let her participate in the work.
The look in her eyes as she looked at Gu Zhou became increasingly complicated.
Is it an illusion?
He seems to be different from before.
Weird.
Or was it that he simply wanted to take a break, but was afraid of being criticized, so he dragged her into it?
When they were almost done packing, the dean suggested, "Boss Gu, Boss Ling, we haven't taken a group photo together yet. Why don't we take one now? I'll print it out later and give it to the children as a souvenir."
Wang Yuanling smiled: "Okay."
Their eyes turned to Gu Zhou.
He said casually, "Then shoot."
When taking a group photo.
Wang Yuanling was surrounded by the children and moved to the middle, while Gu Zhou was also pushed over.
The moment our shoulders touched.
She glanced sideways at him.
He didn't care and looked at the camera casually.
The director was adjusting the camera angle when he realized the light was still a little dim. He called out to the child at the edge, "Xiao Mao, go turn on the lights in the room. It's too dark now."
The child called Xiaomao immediately said: "Okay, Dean Mom."
He turned and ran into the house.
But he accidentally turned off the row of lights in front of the door.
The courtyard, which was already located in the interior and without any street lights, suddenly fell into darkness.
Wang Yuanling's pupils suddenly shrank and his hand unconsciously raised in panic.
But at the moment of raising it.
A warm big hand held my wrist tightly.
She was so shocked that her heart suddenly stopped.
All the senses were drawn to that big hand.
Hold it so tight and so firmly.
I fought back the fear that was rushing over me with all my strength.
"Don't be nervous, take a deep breath." His low voice floated into my ears.
At that time.
The children exclaimed, "Xiao Mao, you idiot! You turned off the wrong light!"
The dean also hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Mao, the lights in this row cannot be turned off. You have to turn on the lights in the room."
Xiao Mao shouted, "I pressed the wrong button!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light returned.
Wang Yuanling raised her chin slightly and met Gu Zhou's dark and deep eyes that were looking straight at her.
That moment.
A big rock was thrown into the calm lake, splashing water.
Her pupils flickered.
But he let go of her hand and his expression returned to his usual casual state.
If it weren't for the warmth lingering on his wrist.
She might even doubt it.
That scene just now was fake.
"Okay, come on, let's all look at the camera together." The dean directed everyone to look at the camera.
Her breathing was ragged.
The mind, unable to function normally, was forced to follow the instructions, and the machine turned its head to look at the camera.
Under the children's "three, two, one, eggplant~".
I reluctantly picked my lips and took a photo.
"I want to see it, I want to see it." The children ran around like bees, each wanting to be the first to see the finished film.
The crowd that was just huddled together.
There were only two of them left.
Wang Yuanling forced herself to suppress her chaotic thoughts and smiled at Gu Zhou: "Thank you so much, Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhou glanced at the corners of her eyes which were slightly red.
He tutted his words and raised his eyebrows casually, "Would you consider buying a portable emergency light?"
"Um?"
The corners of his mouth curved slightly: "When it gets dark, it will automatically light up and hang around your neck."
Wang Yuanling's thoughts wandered: "Is there such a thing?"
He said lazily, "No, so should we jointly produce it? Include it in the scope of our cooperation."
For a second or two, she actually considered it.
When he met Gu Zhou's teasing gaze.
This brief consideration disappeared in an instant.
She curled her lips, and her countless words merged into a heavily pronounced "Boss Gu."
A muffled laugh escaped from Gu Zhou's throat, and the lazy curve at the corners of his eyes suddenly melted away like broken ice falling into spring wine.
It melted into her eyes, creating a trembling ball of light.
The night wind blew the leaves off the treetops.
The crisp sound of falling leaves seemed to hit her heart.
Each sound revealed the signs of her accelerated heartbeat.
Goodbye everyone.
They walked slowly in the alley, one in front and one behind.
She blinked her eyelashes slightly, and her eyes, full of thought, were fixed on his tall and straight pine-like back.
She seemed to be walking faster and faster.
Or maybe he walked slower and slower.
Inexplicable.
She was almost catching up with him.
I simply took two quick steps and walked to his side, smiling politely: "The barbecue tonight is really delicious. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Gu. I'll do the grilling next time."
Gu Zhou put his hands in his pockets, his posture casual: "Next time?"
She smiled faintly. "Well, isn't the charity held every year? I'll be in charge of the barbecue next year."
The scattered starlight seeped into the corners of his lips, which seemed to be half-curled. His dark eyes were dim and gloomy. "Mr. Ling, you're really thinking long-term. This year hasn't even ended yet, and you're already thinking about next year?"
She narrowed her eyes and said, "We're preparing in advance. Will Mr. Gu come next year?"
Gu Zhou glanced at her sideways, his tone casual: "That's not necessarily true, I'm very busy."
She understood: "It doesn't matter. If Mr. Gu doesn't come, I will have a barbecue with the children."
Gu Zhou paused and pursed his lips: "You're going to cross the river and destroy the bridge so soon?"
The corners of her eyes were curved, and there was a cunning and innocent look in her watery eyes: "After all, Mr. Gu is too busy~"
Gu Zhou snorted and spoke lazily: "If I'm busy..."
Gu Zhou bent down, blocking out most of the light, his eyes dim. "Boss Ling probably won't be able to come either. After all, I'll be busy next year, also busy with cooperation matters. There's no reason for me to be the only one busy while Boss Ling enjoys it all. It doesn't seem fair, don't you think? Boss Ling."
He was too close.
Completely suppress her active thinking.
The moment the evening breeze hits.
More than just the whistling wind.
She also caught it.
Voice of the heart.
