It's no exaggeration to say that he feels his toes are tense right now.
The girl, her face flushed, waved her hand, her voice trembling with nervousness.
"I am the one who should apologize."
Xiao Ran swallowed hard, trying to find a topic to end the awkward silence.
"Oh, right, let's go shopping this afternoon. My mom's been here for a while now, and she hasn't been out and about yet."
They tried to restore their communication to its previous state.
The accident happened so suddenly that I was a little unsure of what to do.
Yan Xici lowered her head, her eyes filled with unease.
"Oh, that's...that's quite sudden."
"Yeah, I guess she's worried about my dad," Xiao Ran continued.
To be honest, I know my parents' relationship well. Everyone says that children are the most important thing in their parents' hearts.
Xiao Ran felt that it really wasn't true.
They were true love, and I was just an accident.
Changing the subject is indeed a good option for dealing with unexpected awkward situations.
Yan Xici's tense mind had already begun to consider Qiu Yuru's departure.
After spending the last two days together, she felt that the aunt was a really nice person, especially after she taught her so many little things yesterday.
She hadn't even had a chance to thank her yet, and now that she was leaving, she was really reluctant to go.
She nodded in agreement, "Yes, Uncle and Aunt's relationship is indeed enviable."
She heard it with her own ears last night.
She felt that this kind of love was perfect.
Since their home and school were already close, the two of them arrived at their stop in no time.
As the car slowly came to a stop, the girl stood up, and the two walked towards the back.
Xiao Ran was worried that she would get wet in the rain, so he held the umbrella tightly, ready to open it as soon as he got out of the car.
The station is very close to my home; I can see my neighborhood as soon as I get off the train.
Because of the sudden awkwardness, the girl was too embarrassed to take Xiao Ran's arm again. She just lowered her head and moved her body slightly closer to him.
Xiao Ran cooperated and didn't go outside the umbrella.
The two walked along the sidewalk into the residential area and then walked all the way to their front door.
No one spoke again; each was lost in their own thoughts.
Only when they reached the entrance of the residential area did the girl reluctantly move away.
Xiao Ran simply folded the umbrella before walking to the door and skillfully entering the password.
Qiu Yuru had already prepared the meal. It was very casual, since it was raining and she hadn't gone out to buy groceries. She just bought a piece of tofu and a bunch of greens at the entrance of the community.
After the meal, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.
Summer rainy days are just as pleasant as winter sunshine.
Especially after a meal, if I can take a nap in this kind of weather, I feel incredibly happy.
Not long after lying in bed, the girl drifted off to sleep.
Because of the rain, she slept even more soundly, as she usually takes a nap at noon, and before she knew it, she was asleep until the afternoon.
Although Xiao Ran was also trying to sleep, he couldn't actually fall asleep. His mind started to wander uncontrollably, pondering his relationship with the girl.
From last night until now, he is now absolutely certain that the feeling of wanting to be together has become stronger and stronger.
This also made Xiao Ran very anxious.
In his heart, he actually felt that she deserved someone better than him.
But love is a really unreasonable thing sometimes; it just doesn't care whether you're suitable or not.
It can come and go as it pleases, and it can control your emotions, making your reason and feelings constantly struggle.
At this moment, Xiao Ran finally had a bold idea: why not give it a try?
If she likes me too.
If she really likes me too, it's not impossible to give it a try.
After all, it's hard to refuse such a wonderful girl.
But is she truly in love with me, or is it just because of the inevitable friction that comes with living together?
I can't explain it myself.
He sighed and thought, "Oh well, I'd better check the data for the new book myself."
Working is much simpler than dating.
He logged into his author account on his phone and saw dozens of the latest comments. He clicked on them without hesitation.
I'm speechless: How could anyone have the nerve to write a book like this?
You're sick: The author must have an unsound mind.
No, no: The threshold for writing books is getting lower and lower these days; anyone with questionable values can write a book.
Xiao Ran frowned.
Keep reading.
To her surprise, almost all of the dozen or so comments were negative.
Apart from the occasional positive reviews mixed in.
To be honest, comments can really easily affect one's mind.
Some people really do say things that are hard to hear.
In fact, Xiao Ran is not someone who cannot accept criticism. After all, he has been an author for so many years and has seen all kinds of trolls.
But this is truly the first time we've seen such a coordinated attack.
He even doubted whether he had chosen the wrong subject matter.
Or perhaps there's something wrong with my own thinking.
Fortunately, the data didn't fluctuate much. Although the comments were mostly negative, there were still many people reading it. The only measure of a book's success is its data.
......
After a long sleep, the girl opened her eyes, glanced at the clock, and realized it was already four o'clock. She hurriedly got out of bed.
