The shadow on the white Rolls-Royce is still there and needs to be washed away.
In an instant, Zhou Yutong became someone who hated Lu Wan even more than Gou An.
When He Jinxing went to handle the relevant formalities, Gou An sat next to the grumpy Groundhog Comrade: "Don't be so grumpy, I read the chat record, Chen Jinli and Lu Wan didn't say anything, if you do this, Chen Jinli might blame you instead."
Zhou Yutong curled her lips and muttered softly: "It's too late, he has ignored me."
From the sound of his voice, he probably knew that he was too impulsive, but he didn't seem to have too many regrets.
Gou An frowned. To be honest, her evaluation of Chen Jinli has declined recently. His achievements and professionalism in academic research are beyond reproach. For a long time in the past, she was even puzzled as to why such an honest scholar would be in the same nest with He Jinxing. Now it seems that the answer is obvious. He is not an honest man at all. Birds of a feather flock together. This is an eternal truth.
Gou An thought about it, turned his head and looked at the man who was leaning against a desk not far away. He was talking to the teacher with a relaxed smile. He lowered his eyes, and the light above his head shone on his eyelashes, forming a small halo...
Looks very good.
Inexplicably, it gives people a feeling that as long as he stands there, the problem can be solved, and he is very reliable.
Now Gou An is a little scared that Chen Jinli will lead He Jinxing astray.
"Chen Jinli and Lu Wan are not familiar with each other. Why would he ignore you because of Lu Wan's matter?"
"Maybe he thinks I have a temper like a spoiled brat, which is inexplicable and unreasonable. He has told me many times that he hopes I can be more restrained."
"...You can't say that everything he said is wrong." Gou An thought for a moment, "But I don't think you have to change. Everyone has flaws. If you can accept them, accept them. If you can't accept them, let them go."
"Now it's your turn to persuade me."
"My friend, this sounds a bit offensive."
"Because they all say you're just a plus version of me, the more aggressive side... Have you ever thought about taking some advice?"
"I just told you not to listen to Chen Jinli's seemingly reasonable nonsense. What do you think?"
"We are indeed of the same character - so if it were you, you would have the same reaction." Zhou Yutong said, "Think about Lu Wan saying to Uncle Buttocks: You are really my role model, thank you~"
Gou An thought about it and felt that this scene might have really happened before.
In the original line.
But now she knows what Zhou Yutong meant by "If it were you, you would be the same"——
At this point, there is no need for Lu Wan to act coquettishly to He Jinxing. The moment they tried to add each other on WeChat and took out their phones, she might have already rushed up and twisted He Jinxing's head off.
Thinking of this, Gou An relaxed for a moment, raised his hand and patted Zhou Yutong on the shoulder with an expression that said "Baby, you are right".
"That's why I say that if a man can't give you a sense of security and every woman he talks to on WeChat makes you explode and end up in police station, I advise you to find someone else." Gou An brought the topic back, "Instead of thinking about following what that damn man says and curbing your temper, that's putting the cart before the horse."
After all, they are the daughters of rich families who have been pampered since childhood. They get whatever they want, otherwise they will be furious. This thing is like an innate instinctive reaction...
Impulsive and willful.
Not very good.
But this is part of their character, and this is how they have lived over the past many years.
Just like Gou An, even though the vicious female supporting character in the original novel has awakened, she has not become kind, innocent and likable. She is still herself, occasionally doing stupid things and doing bad things, and doing some outrageous things that make people angry.
What's wrong? He has a lot of flaws and isn't very smart, but that's just "being at peace".
If you can't accept this part of them, then don't expect the rest of them -
Who are you talking to when you say hypocritically, "You will be fine once you get rid of these bad habits"? Disadvantages and advantages always coexist. Without either one, you are not a complete person.
Zhou Yutong came over pitifully and shrank into Gou An's arms: "It's so annoying. Uncle Butt never flirts with other girls, and he won't always think about teaching you a lesson."
It seems that he really doesn't.
Even though the male protagonist in the original novel seemed to be a complete psychopath, he never said "What are you doing" when he picked her up from prison and the atmosphere was at its peak.
Gou An wanted to joke and say "maybe it's because of my age", but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth and didn't say anything -
He turned and looked at the man not far away.
At this moment, the police officer happened to hold up a form and looked up to ask him: "Relationship with the person on bail?"
"Hmm?" The man touched the tip of his nose with a finger, looking a little embarrassed for no apparent reason, "Fiancé."
When the police officer said "Oh" calmly and lowered his head to fill out the form, Gou An clearly saw that the man's neck was strangely red, and he had no idea why this man was shy.
It made her heart beat faster.
"Tell her not to be so impulsive next time. It's good to mediate a fight, but hitting someone on an electric bike is a bit—"
"You won't listen even if I tell you." He Jinxing's smile remained on his face, and his tone was also nonchalant, "Why do you still say such nonsense to annoy others when you know they won't listen?"
The sir in charge of registration looked to be around 40 years old and of course married.
Hearing this, he looked up and nodded with sympathy to the helpless Jiangcheng king, feeling very relieved: it seems that regardless of identity, status, or wealth, married men face roughly the same way to maintain the stability of their marriage.
After completing the registration, Gou An can leave first.
The man casually put the receipt into his pocket, walked up to her, stretched out the hand that was in his pocket in front of her and spread it out.
After the conversation with Zhou Yutong just now, Gou An also felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
My mood at this moment cannot be said to be completely the same joy as when I saw He Jinxing in the first second. I was more like my heart was pounding as I couldn't help replaying the image of his red neck in my mind, and I couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
So she raised her head, glared at the person standing in front of her and said, "You'd better stay this emotionally stable forever."
Perhaps a certain word in her sentence accidentally pleased the person in front of her.
He raised his eyebrows and looked down at her. After a moment, he pretended to be speechless and hooked his finger at her: "Be a little better after getting into trouble. If it was Gou Yu who came, would you still be so righteous?"
Gou An didn't say anything, but just shoved his hand heavily into the open palm in front of him.
The latter paused, then wrapped her hand without hesitation, easily pried open her clenched fist with one finger, and then hooked her outstretched fingers.
The two men walked out of the police station door side by side, and snowflakes began to fall outside again.
He Jinxing sighed, saying that it had been almost ten years since Jiangcheng had seen as much snow as this year, and it snowed without stopping.
The snowy night in Zhaipu district seemed even colder than usual.
When Lu Wan walked towards the building where his home was, the cold wind blew on his face, and there was a smell of sewers in the air that even the cold wind could not blow away.
Ever since she was teased by her classmates in middle school for "smelling like a sewer", she never hung her clothes outside to dry. However, when she looked up, she could still see her neighbors' clothes hanging outside, filling the narrow alley and blocking out the sun.
The old wooden door at the side creaked open, and a lame old woman, shivering in an old cotton-padded jacket that was as dirty as patina, came out with a bowl of steaming foot washing water and poured it beside the door.
"Wanwan, it's so late tonight!"
The old lady greeted him casually. Lu Wan forced a smile and responded casually without stopping.
In Guangdong, many families would offer sacrifices to the land god at the base of the gate. Although Lu Wan did not have the habit of doing so, she still could not understand the behavior of casually pouring foot washing water at the base of the wall. Aren’t they afraid of blasphemy?
Of course, she wouldn't bother asking questions to a 70 or 80-year-old man living alone.
It just brought with it some resentment, the dilapidated shack that never sees the sun, the neighbors whose eyes are numb and they just live without knowing why, the future that can be seen at a glance and the present that is suffocating -
Climbing up the dark stairs, Lu Wan arrived at the door of his home. When he bent down to take out the key, he found a note under the door.
She picked it up. If it was a flyer, she would usually throw it away without even looking at it, but for some reason she didn't do that today. Instead, she turned on the flashlight on her phone.
[I don’t know when and where you will see this note, I just want to remind you to seize every opportunity, because you don’t have much time left.
Talk to Zhou Yutong again, and you will gain new insights. 】
Lu Wan's heart started pounding.
This feeling seemed familiar. She had experienced this kind of throbbing countless times before, as if there was a voice in her heart telling her: Your life should not be like this now.
After folding the note and putting it in his pocket, Lu Wan used his mobile phone to dial the number he had added about half an hour ago.
The call was picked up quickly.
"Hello? Hello, I'm Lu Wan. Regarding the compensation, I've thought about it and we can settle it privately... But I want to see your sincerity. You should come and talk to me in person, not through a so-called lawyer."
Her voice was still so soft that it seemed like it would be blown away in the air by the cold wind.
In the dark corridor, she silently held the phone tightly, as if she was holding a life-saving straw.
When Gou An was stuffed into the passenger seat of the Maybach by He Jinxing, he realized that he had driven here by himself today.
Compared to a Rolls-Royce, it is indeed true that only this Mercedes-Benz D-class commercial vehicle seems less outrageous if you drive it yourself.
After getting in the car, she rubbed her red, frozen hands and quickly turned the heater to the maximum setting. When she placed her hands on the air outlet, the man started the car.
"…It's snowing so heavily, where's the driver?"
"No, why does it have to be a driver? I have a driver's license too."
When a person describes his driving skills, the opening line is "I have a driver's license"...
After He Jinxing finished speaking, she immediately received a look of disbelief from Gou An. Her hands unconsciously clenched on the seat belt, "Is the driver in a hurry to go home for his anniversary? Can't we let professionals handle professional matters?"
After saying that, as if to take good care of the man's self-esteem, she added insincerely, "Although you may be a good driver too."
"Really? That's great, I'm relieved - I thought my skills were so bad that I was throwing a tantrum every time you got out of bed."
“…”
Shocked by the seamless flow of dirty jokes, Gou An fell into silence for a few seconds.
But the moment she hugged the man's waist in the police station today, she decided not to lose her temper with him for at least 24 hours, so she just moved her lips silently towards the darkness in front of her and secretly cursed him as a "smelly hooligan".
His eyes fell precisely on her lips.
She raised her hand to cover her lips: "Don't even think about it. I invited you before but you refused. Since the initiative is in my hands, you just wait patiently."
Has this thing ever been in my hands?
"Is it too late to take it back now?"
Gou An sneered in response.
But perhaps because the atmosphere outside was too quiet, they had no intention of quarreling this time. After talking it out, she realized that this old guy was not keeping his chastity for anyone - at least he didn't even glance at Lu Wan when he entered the police station today - so she thought there was nothing wrong with taking things step by step.
Since she has the final say no matter what, there is no need to rush.
He Jinxing's car was indeed very stable. When the car backed into the basement of He's house, Gou An found that he had not had any frightened moments along the way.
But when the light around the car dimmed, He Jinxing turned off the engine and said concisely, "We're here." Gou An turned around and saw him holding the steering wheel with one hand, his eyes facing forward, with a sanctimonious profile -
A heart-pounding moment occurred.
To be precise, her entire back felt inexplicably numb due to the atmosphere at the moment. She unbuckled her seat belt and climbed onto the man.
In fact, there was a steering wheel blocking the driver's seat, so it was a bit difficult for Gou An to squeeze through, but He Jinxing was very considerate and moved the seat back the first second she leaned over.
He let the cold little hands pull open his shirt tucked into his suit pants, reach in from the hem, and then touch his abdominal muscles without hesitation.
He Jinxing was so cold that his jaw tightened and he couldn't breathe smoothly. He could only reach out and hold her hand through her clothes, "Stop it."
Gou An didn't take his hand away, but climbed up all the way, listening to the man's breathing becoming increasingly unstable in the narrow space, and an inexplicable sense of control over his happiness crept into his heart.
Her movements became more extreme.
I raised my head and kissed the tip of his tall nose, just like he used to do.
The sweet atmosphere enveloped him and finally succeeded in breaking down Mr. He's defense.
He held her shoulders with one hand and took her soft lips away from his face, "So what's the situation now?"
"A sex partner who complies with common moral and legal principles?"
At such a close distance, Gou An clearly heard He Jinxing sigh: "Although I didn't go abroad, it took me five or six hours to get back by plane. I came to pick you up without even putting down my luggage. Don't be angry with me, okay?"
Gou An found it hard not to laugh out loud.
After all, in her memory, the memory of the car in the original story was not so pleasant. She kissed the man's eyes again and gently flicked his overly long eyelashes with the tip of her tongue.
Gou An glanced at another white Rolls-Royce parked in the garage. Someone had driven this car to pick her up at the gate of Qingshan Prison, and then at the prison gate, like a hungry wolf, he kissed her without hesitation, stuffed her into the car, and still wouldn't let her go.
Until Miss Gou, whose leg muscles had become increasingly strong after working on a sewing machine for a year and a half, kicked him. The two of them fought in the car, one of them trying to kiss the other and she refused to give in, and the fight was so intense that it was dark.
When the driver got in the car, his eyes were ambiguous. He glanced at the back seat and saw that it was actually the mineral water that was spilled by Gou An who had grabbed He Jinxing and smashed him. He thought they had done something good...
The past is too hard to recall, and the original author certainly could not write about how intense the kiss between the vicious female supporting character and the male protagonist was, but Gou An knew that at the end of that day, the tip of her tongue felt so painful that she wanted to vomit whenever it touched anything hot, and she didn't drink a single sip of the soup that Jiang Yuan made for her.
But at this moment in the car, they had done everything they should have done except kissing——
It is said that two people who have just started dating will wish they could die in bed within three months after their first sexual experience.
However, because of their irrelevant quarrels and because they were too busy with work and study, they broke up and tortured each other, and starved for half a month.
He Jinxing had to hold the back of Gou An's head to prevent her from hitting it with excessive movements. After a few seconds, he pulled his other hand out of her sweater and, like a magic trick, threw her underwear onto the passenger seat.
It was clearly a very casual action.
Gou An felt that it made her breathe more suffocated than performing ten thousand routine operations.
She glanced at the piece of cloth thrown on the passenger seat. The man pinched her chin and twisted her face. According to the rules of the game, he couldn't kiss her face, but he still did it in various ways, with scattered warm kisses landing on every corner of her face.
Even bit the tip of her nose.
The hot energy enveloped her, and although his movements were very gentle, she still felt that he was trying to control his strength, otherwise he would have wanted to bite her nose off.
He bit her in the white Rolls-Royce, too.
"Don't bite," Gou An turned his face away gloomily, "or I'll get off the car."
"..." The man was silent for a moment, "What's with this tone of dog training?"
As he spoke, in order to prevent her from actually getting out of the car, he reached out and pressed the car lock button, then threw her into the back seat - the advantage of a business car is that the back seat has a spacious space, and the two of them were able to stretch out at once, having been restrained.
When He Jinxing also stretched out her long legs and got to the back seat, Gou An climbed up flexibly and very firmly maintained her position on top as before.
He Jinxing was pressed into the leather backrest of the back seat without much resistance. In the darkness, he heard the zipper of his suit pants make a slight "click" sound.
In fact, it is even more thrilling than when the chainsaw in "Saw" sounded.
This location is a new attempt for everyone, it's dark and dark——
Gou An heard the man groan in her ear. That sound definitely did not sound like happiness. A moment later, he grabbed her arm with his powerful arms, preventing her from falling. "Can you aim?"
Gou An: “…”
He Jinxing: "It will break."
Gou An gave a wry smile and gave up insisting on "I'll do it myself". He Jinxing held her waist with one hand and proceeded step by step -
It didn't take much effort to squeeze in, but she didn't know whether the man was seeking revenge for her mistake, so his actions seemed a little inconsiderate. At first, she was knocked so hard that she let out a few cries like a small animal.
The sound sounded extremely pitiful in the closed space of the car, but unfortunately it did not win any sympathy.
Gou An's head hit the roof of the car several times. Finally, she pulled He Jinxing's hand that was pinching her waist and put it on top of her head to protect it.
This matter-of-fact action caused the man to laugh.
She was a little embarrassed to laugh.
"It's too messy." she complained.
"Didn't you start it?"
"If we are discovered, we are doomed."
"They will be so happy that they will set off firecrackers," He Jinxing paused, "Except Gou Yu."
Being mentioned about parents at this time would make people nervous. Gou An held the man's lower abdomen and was unwilling to move. His waist was soft and his brain was boiling with screams. Gou An moved his lips and was about to say something -
At this moment, the cell phone they had forgotten on the front seat seemed to explode, with a series of message alerts ringing out in a mess, and He Jinxing even received a call on his cell phone.
Gou An reflexively thought that they were doing something bad in the car and were photographed by paparazzi and it had now made the front page headlines, but then he thought, they are not stars, there is no way any paparazzi would be interested in taking pictures of them.
She was lost in thought when her face was twisted back. The man leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips, reminding her in a complaining tone: "How can you still be distracted?"
She shouldn't be distracted.
She bit the chin of the man who was obviously dissatisfied with his serious face apologetically, and tried to focus on the real thing she was doing -
However, the ringing of cell phones made it impossible for them to concentrate.
After forcing himself to hold on for another minute, He Jinxing wordlessly fell back into the back seat, raised his hand to push back his sweaty hair, and shook the girl sitting on him tiredly and helplessly: "Please, pass me the phone."
If it is a work call, no matter who is on the other end of the line, the whole year's bonus will be waiting for him.
If she braked halfway, she wouldn't be the one suffering the most.
Gou An made a mocking sound, turned around in her current position, stretched out her arm to drag He Jinxing's coat over to her - as the man gasped in pain, she took out his cell phone from her pocket.
I looked down and saw the person who called was Chen Jinli...
Her smile faded slightly, and she threw the thing in her hand that was still buzzing to him.
The action is not too gentle.
The latter was confused and gave her a bewildered look. He answered the phone slowly. His voice had returned to normal and was no longer breathless. There was only a slight hoarseness in his voice: "You'd better be okay."
There is indeed something going on over there.
After listening to these two sentences, He Jinxing sat up directly, turned his head and looked at Gou An, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Gou An was inexplicably nervous when he saw him like that. He grabbed his wrist and wanted to get closer to listen... The man held the phone between his shoulder and ear. He held the little girl who was sitting on him and trying hard to get close to him in both hands, picked her up, and put her next to him.
Suddenly leaving the warm embrace, Gou An kicked the man's strong waist with his foot in a somewhat uncooperative manner——
With He Jinxing holding his knees, he hung up the phone after a few words.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
Their eyes met.
"What? Is the world ending?"
"Lu Wan might be the daughter of Zhou Chu's first love who was raised outside. Zhou Yutong was adopted by her mother because she couldn't get over it."
“…”
This is really no different than the end of the world.
Gou An still believes that Andy Lau has just joined AKB48.
