The school forum was so busy that it was about to be paralyzed. A senior from the Computer Department who was in charge of the daily management and maintenance of the forum lamented: There was an unprecedented amount of traffic, and even the school anniversary check-ins were not so complete.
The name Chen Jinli suddenly became famous.
There were students from other colleges who didn't know Lu Wan (or they might just be innocent deer enthusiasts pretending to be strangers). After climbing the stairs, they said frankly that they sympathized with the children from the College of Marine Biology. It seemed that they were a little too pitiful. In the eyes of their immediate superior, they were not even as good as a precious fish, but they thought it was normal.
Regarding this second way of saving face, students from the College of Marine Biology said that they refused to be PUA-
[I don't need to be more valuable than fish in Professor Chen's eyes. He just needs to teach me professional knowledge so that I can have something to eat.
I just know that I am my mother’s little baby. 】
This reply made Gou An almost spit out the seafood porridge in his mouth back into the bowl.
She was sitting in the restaurant eating. It was too late and the only midnight snack she could have was porridge. But because she was in such a good mood today, she was not picky about what she ate.
It would be better if there wasn't someone who was always watching over us and not even allowed us to have side dishes when we ate.
He Jinxing tapped her hand with chopsticks, signaling her not to play with her phone while eating.
Zhou Yutong sent her another message. She glanced at He Jinxing, who looked calm and stable, so she pushed his chopsticks away and said, "Wait until I finish replying to Zhou Yutong's message."
"She comes to gloat over someone else's misfortune?"
"Otherwise, you could be here to ask me if Chen Jinli, who lost his son in middle age, is crying sadly?"
[Shy Groundhog: I have finished reading the post. 】
[Shy Groundhog: First of all, congratulations on your great victory; then let me shed a tear for myself. In the eyes of that bastard Chen Jinli, I am as important as a fish that was born less than half a month ago...]
[Shy Groundhog: But it doesn't matter. Chen Jinli will never know until the day he dies that you didn't help him watch the fish because you came to Zhaipu District to kill rats for me.]
[Don't be afraid of me winning...]
[Shy Groundhog: Rounding off, I am the mastermind behind this! Hehehe! ]
[Don't be afraid, I can win: the angle is very tricky. 】
[Don't be afraid, I can win: At first, Chen Jinli thought that I killed the fish, and asked me if I was an undercover agent sent by you to harm his son. ]
[Shy Groundhog:? ]
[Don't be afraid, I can win: I felt offended at the time, and almost asked him if he was sick... Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have been so confident. ]
[Shy Groundhog: Haha ...
When He Jinxing stretched his head over to see what Zhou Yutong was saying, he happened to see this sentence pop up on the screen.
The man groaned, Gou An almost jumped up and covered the screen of his phone with his hands. The former laughed briefly: "You've already seen it, why are you still covering it?"
Gou An hesitated: "You won't complain, will you?"
He Jinxing did not say no, but gave an ambiguous answer, "It depends on your performance."
Performance is shit.
Gou An put down the spoon expressionlessly and opened the forum page, just in time to see Lu Wan's little fans starting the third way to save face -
[1022L: Those in power are all very cold. It’s enough to admire the strong. What’s there to admire about bad guys?
I'm still supporting Gou An and He Jinxing, it's just a cold marriage between wealthy families.
Do you think He Jinxing is a good person? He and Chen Jinli are probably the same breed. 】
Gou An gave a thumbs up.
The forum exploded again.
[Gou An just gave you a thumbs up][I really laughed to death][Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, does this classmate feel like he’s being ridiculed][The fiancée of the superior thinks you’re right and gave you a thumbs up]…
【1061L: @Paw Patrol is holding a meeting. I'm not saying that you have done a lot of cool things.】
Gou An completely put down what she was doing and prepared to eat seriously. At this time, He Jinxing next to her looked at her mobile phone instead, probably wanting to see what closing remarks she made, seeming so satisfied.
After watching for a few minutes, he glanced at Gou An from above his phone and said calmly in the tone of speaking to an ungrateful person: "You scolded me."
"…………" Gou An's mind went blank for a few seconds, "Why are you able to enter our school's forum?"
"Because I donated a building to your school." He Jinxing said as a matter of course, "and I logged in with Chen Jinli's account."
"You two really are wearing the same pair of pants!"
"Why are you so surprised? Don't you know that we are all in the same nest?" He Jinxing paused and said, "This person said that the cold and wealthy families are getting married, and you gave him a thumbs up."
“…”
"I haven't driven a sports car for half a year. I drove it out today especially for the people who are joining the cold and wealthy marriage."
"What? Is this car illegally modified? The kind that will land you in jail if you get caught by the traffic police?"
"That's not the case."
"Then why are you saying this in such a sacrificial tone?"
"My back hurts."
In order to pick up Zhou Yutong, Li Du drove his sports car from the neighboring Haicheng on the highway for two hours without a single complaint. If the time taken to get off the elevator from He's was included and there was no traffic jam, it would take less than 20 minutes to get to the Marine Biology Research Institute.
Gou An did not tell He Jinxing about this, because he had done a great job and today he was the most handsome He Jinxing in the world.
After wiping her mouth, she put down the half-drunk porridge and moved the stool towards He Jinxing.
When the man looked over, he already felt an evil hand on his waist.
He Jinxing put down the teacup in his hand.
Gou An's hand pulled his shirt out of his belt and touched his waist. He Jinxing pressed her hand down.
"Aren't you going home tonight?" He Jinxing asked.
Gou An pulled his hand out and said, "I still have to go back. My dad has recently added a curfew to me."
"Then don't touch me."
"You can't go home if you touch me?!"
"This is what a cold wealthy marriage is like. Apart from having sex, you basically don't waste time contacting each other."
“…”
This devil.
The next day, Gou An, who had not yet been kicked out by Chen Jinli, got up early as usual and opened his phone to see if the person next door had calmed down. There was no good morning greeting, which proved that the person next door had not calmed down yet.
He is really sensitive.
I can't take any jokes at all and I will become unhappy at the slightest thing.
The only one who sent a message was Chen Jinli. Professor Chen probably didn't want to see her face today, so he remotely sent her today's task: continue collecting seawater and feeding the fish.
Good job.
If I had told her earlier that the result of firing Lu Wan would be that both of their jobs would fall on her alone, she might not have been so happy last night.
Gou An went downstairs yawning, preparing to eat breakfast while thinking about how to make the person next to him happy, when he saw Gou Yu coming downstairs dragging a suitcase.
"?" Gou An asked blankly, "On a business trip?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan appeared dragging the second suitcase.
When Gou An was full of question marks, Jiang Yuan looked a little embarrassed: "Before going to bed last night, we suddenly talked about the time when I went to the Louvre with your father when I was studying. Suddenly, I wanted to go and take another look..."
"Then you booked your flight tickets and packed your luggage to escape overnight?" Gou An asked blankly, "Can't you talk about something else before going to bed?"
Jiang Yuan walked to the dining table and took a sip of orange juice: "Anyway, you have a part-time job during the winter vacation and can't leave. I can't go with you, so I didn't notify you immediately. You should stay at home well--"
Gou An: "Only myself? Gou Xun is going too?"
Jiang Yuan: "Gou Xun is going to the winter training camp for a month. He won't be back until the New Year. Didn't he tell you?"
Gou An: "I'm not familiar with him."
Jiang Yuan: "How long are you guys going to stop arguing? Mom heard that the person who caused the quarrel got into trouble last night, and he probably won't show up again..."
Gou An: "You ask him to kowtow to me and admit his mistake."
Jiang Yuan dragged his suitcase out and said without looking back, "Let him give you some for the New Year, and you stay at home and behave yourself. By the way, I saw in the weather forecast that there will be a typhoon in two days. Ask Chen Jinli if he can take a leave and not go to the institute. It won't be a big deal if he shows up two days less..."
The person sitting at the breakfast table lowered her head and absentmindedly poked at the toast on the plate, responding with two sounds in her left ear and out her right. Gou Yu passed by and reminded her very calmly not to play with her food anymore or she would be late if she didn't hurry up.
"Dad," Gou An suddenly raised his head, "What was the most touching thing that mom did when she was studying?"
"Qiu Qiu sneezed during the physical education class, and she went back to the classroom by herself, walked around, and when she came out she was wearing my school uniform jacket." Gou Yu said expressionlessly, "Although I don't know why you ask this-"
Gou An was about to speak without hesitation.
"I don't want to listen either." Gou Yu interrupted her, "You're on winter vacation anyway, and He Jinxing doesn't have a school uniform jacket for you to wear."
Gou An: "You can't say it so absolutely."
At noon that day, in addition to the popular post [Gou An's cat incident re-occurred, some people were harming her by being lenient once: Lu Wan is finished], there was another hot post next to it, with the title [It is said that Gou An's marriage was a cold-blooded marriage to a wealthy family, if you imagine that she is not having a good life, come and take a look].
When I clicked on it, I saw that the poster was still the senior sister who was eating melons and raising fish yesterday.
This time she was obviously very free. In her cover photo, a little girl in a dark green winter skirt was leaning against a seawater tank by a sunny window, holding a folder and writing and drawing on a piece of recording paper.
Her hair was tied up with a ribbon of the same color as her skirt so that it wouldn't block her view. Her long black curly hair was spread out behind her, and a halo formed naturally at the tips of her long eyelashes.
But that's not the point.
The key point is that she is wearing a men's suit jacket that is obviously too big over her skirt. Judging from the buttons on the suit jacket, this high-end custom-made suit does not seem to be the brand that Gou Yu likes.
[Take a class to learn fish farming and then go fish farming after graduation: Did you see that? When some people are imagining that someone else’s marriage is unhappy, that person might even have been lying in Mr. He’s arms last night and laughing at your speech.]
[Paw Patrol holds a meeting: @Chen Jinli]
【107L: The person above is very confusing. 】
[108L: I heard that in order to appease Professor Chen, President He promised to arrange a killer whale protection research base for Professor Chen at Jinshan Wharf...]
【109L:……】
【110L: Got it, the love rival is demonstrating. 】
[111L: Your circle! Ahhhh yesterday was so bloody, I wish I could hide under the beds of you rich people and listen to the show! ]
The forum exploded once again.
In the midst of chaos, the cell phone that had been silent all morning finally lit up, and Crayon Shin-chan, with two fingers making a "V" sign, sent an ellipsis.
【HJX: What if Chen Jinli logged in himself? 】
[Don't be afraid, I can win: That's a demonstration. Before you brought the tiger into my yard, he and I were sworn rivals.]
【HJX:……】
[HJX: I think you used that coat that you forgot to return to me at the end.]
【Don't be afraid that I can win: Then I'll take it off. 】
【HJX: No, just wear it. 】
The alarm is lifted.
In the afternoon, Gou An drank sea breeze all afternoon and felt that the sea breeze could actually be a little sweet.
In the evening, with a head of hair that smelled like starfish, she rushed home, ordered takeout and took a shower. After eating the takeout and blow-drying her hair, she looked at her phone and saw that the chat history with Mr. He stopped at the part where he reported to her that he "was not working overtime today."
Gou An bit her tongue and was about to ask him where he was going if he didn't work overtime, when she heard the sound of a car passing by the door. The familiar sound made her fingertips pause...
Sure enough, the car drove into the garage next door, and then the engine was turned off, bringing the usual tranquility.
It was 7:30 in the evening and Gou An did not move immediately.
A person sat in front of the TV and watched it for a while. When the time showed half past nine, he rushed upstairs, grabbed a physics book from the table, put on his down jacket, and rushed out the door.
Gou An knocked on the door of the He residence next door. When Mr. He came to open the door, the little girl standing outside the door rubbed her outdoor slippers impatiently on the ground.
"An An?" The old man was stunned. "It's so late and you——"
Gou An raised the physics book in his hand high, like a shield: "I was doing my homework just now, and suddenly I don't know how to solve a problem. I'll ask He, He..."
I thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable name.
Old Master He was eager to see the two of them interacting and spending more time together, so he happily stepped aside and told Gou An that the person she was looking for was in the study, and it was nothing serious, so she could just push the door and go in.
Gou An really pushed the door open and walked in. The man sitting behind the desk had already changed into home clothes, with his collar slightly open, and his hair was still a little wet so it fell down softly...
That handsome face was browsing the webpage on the computer out of boredom, with a pair of glasses on his tall nose, even more of a scumbag than Chen Jinli——
Hearing the study door open without knocking, he looked up with a frown, but relaxed his brows the first second he saw the person coming.
"Why are you here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw her moving towards him with Godzilla-like steps, throwing the physics book in her hand onto the table, and jumping onto his knees.
He Jinxing hurriedly caught her and put his arms around her waist.
Then I heard the person in my arms say, "You touched me."
He Jinxing: “?”
Gou An: "Don't go home tonight."
He Jinxing: “???”
Gou An: "There's no one at home."
As he spoke, he immediately kicked off his slippers and stepped on his legs. The person who was curled up in his arms looked up at him, and his dark brown eyes said: "Will you leave?" He Jinxing's brain was fine, and even very useful, but he never thought that he would react to five words and a look from others.
He picked her up and kissed her ear: "To prove that this marriage is not so cold, you really worked hard today, and you deserve a reward."
