Chapter 1930: Can’t Be Stupid Anymore
Realizing that she liked Chi Nian, Gu Tianqi immediately picked up her phone, found her chat box, and typed in four words: I like you.
The finger paused at "Send", did not click it, and finally moved away.
I was impulsive in the past and suffered a lot. I can’t be stupid again.
He cooled his overheated mind and carefully analyzed the current situation.
Chi Nian obviously didn't like him, or rather, she didn't think about it in the way of love between men and women.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have not seen each other for such a long time, and I wouldn't have thought about contacting him.
In fact, during the time he was helping his mother with her lawsuit and paying off her debts, Chi Nian called him once and asked him what he was doing and if he wanted to have dinner together. But he was upset and said he was busy and turned down the call.
After that, Chi Nian never contacted him again, which was enough to show that he was just an ordinary friend.
Then he has to take it slow and not confess his feelings right away, or he might scare the other person away.
What if I find out that he has this intention and don't let him live here anymore and draw a clear line between us?
Gu Tianqi suddenly recalled that when he was pursuing Jiuyao in the past, he also threw himself into it headfirst, but the more he pursued her, the more annoyed she became with him.
However, he later reflected on his love for Jiuyao.
He was indeed not as devoted to her as Gu Hanye, nor was his feelings as genuine as Gu Hanye's.
He was obsessed at that time purely because he had never suffered any grievances since he was a child, and he wanted to get what he wanted. Jiuyao was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, but she was cold and aloof, and she didn't talk about him in any way, so he wanted to conquer her even more.
At the same time, he also had a mentality of not wanting Gu Hanye to succeed, and wanted to prove that he was equally excellent by competing for women.
Such a feeling is mixed with too many distractions.
During the pursuit, he did not consider Jiuyao's feelings and caused her a lot of trouble.
Although he does seemingly romantic things under the pretext of liking someone, he is actually a jerk.
In short, the past is too painful to recall. It has passed, and Gu Tianqi doesn't allow himself to think about it anymore.
Anyway, after going through so much, he knew that one should not be too reckless when it comes to feelings.
He had to take it slow, just like the old man always taught him: take it slow, it's faster.
I put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and deleted the four words "I like you".
But just after deleting it, before closing the chat window, Chi Nian sent a message: "Second brother, are you writing a paper in the dialog box?"
Gu Tianqi was stunned: "What?"
"I see you're typing all the time, hahaha!"
Gu Tianqi felt embarrassed, as if someone had seen something, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "I wanted to ask you, are you coming back for lunch?"
"I only take an hour off at noon and eat at work."
Gu Tianqi thought about it again and asked her, "So what were you planning to tell me?"
If you didn't have something to say to him, you wouldn't open the dialog box and see him typing, right?
"That's what I want to tell you. Take care of your lunch yourself. You don't have to wait for me."
Gu Tianqi was a little disappointed. He had even had some wishful thinking just now, hoping that the girl was also hesitating to confess her feelings to him...
He replied: "What time do you get off work tonight? I'll pick you up."
"Half past five."
Then, Chi Nian said, "Second brother, don't come. I can just take Brother Qing's car back. He will get off work an hour later than me. You can wait for us at home."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tianqi was even more determined to answer the call.
"Send me the address."
She made a helpless face-covering expression: "Really, there's no need to answer..."
"Hurry up, give me the address."
"A taxi round trip would cost several dozen dollars. I appreciate your kindness, brother."
Gu Tianqi felt that his self-esteem had suffered a severe blow.
Chi Nian may have known that he had no car, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly.
So she was frugal and didn't want him to spend money on taxis to and fro.
There's nothing wrong with being frugal.
This is probably what most ordinary people would think about in their daily lives. Gu Tianqi feels that such a life is simple and ordinary, which gives him a sense of security.
The thing is, he had fallen from a great height, and the feeling of feeling bad for the taxi fare was unfamiliar and a bit uncomfortable.
This probably means that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
But no matter how difficult it is, we have to accept it. After all, there is no other way.
He thought for a moment and replied to Chi Nian: "I have a car, don't worry, tell me the address."
After a while, Chi Nian replied: "Okay, this is my unit."
She sent me her location and said she had already arrived at work, so we stopped chatting for now.
Gu Tianqi put away his phone, looked at the location and smiled.
He was allowed to pick her up from get off work!
This permission is a good start!
Then the next step is to buy a car.
Gu Tianqi took out the gold card his brother gave him, his heart full of confidence, his eyes gradually becoming determined.
I spent my brother's money today and will pay him back later.
But if I don’t pursue my girlfriend, I’m afraid she will become someone else’s wife again.
So Gu Tianqi returned to the living room, folded up the mat on the floor, carried it into Chi Nian's room, and spread it out again when he went to bed at night.
He had never considered these problems before. In the old house, he was taken care of by his mother and servants, and he didn't have to do any housework.
In his own apartment, there is an apartment manager to take care of him, and no one usually cares about him.
But after coming to Chi Nian's home, Gu Tianqi could also feel the change in Chi Nian's attitude towards life through her living environment. She didn't want to make herself sloppy and annoying.
He also couldn't let Chi Nian think that he was not as hardworking as that brother.
He walked into her bedroom, glanced around, pulled out the chair under her desk, and put it on the chair temporarily.
Looking at the chair, Gu Tianqi laughed secretly.
I don’t know if I was drunk last night or if I just wanted to get into someone else’s bed. There was clearly a chair on the balcony, but he couldn’t see it even with his eyes open.
He looked around Chi Nian's bedroom again, and some outrageous thoughts popped up in his mind. He quickly stopped and walked out.
Lust is like a sword hanging over your head. You must not have any evil thoughts before you succeed in pursuing someone.
Gu Tianqi finally went downstairs to the breakfast stall that Chi Nian mentioned, ordered a bowl of tofu pudding, two fried dough sticks and a braised egg.
After a storm last night, the air was exceptionally fresh, the sky was deep blue, and the morning light shone obliquely on the breakfast stall, making it exceptionally warm.
Gu Tianqi bathed in the morning light, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic and people coming and going on the roadside, and he felt as if he had been reborn.
In the past, he was high and mighty, treating himself like a prince worshipped in heaven, looking down on the sufferings of the world and thinking that no one was as good as him.
But now, he sat at this breakfast stall, looking at the diners around him, looking at the old men and women who came with small pots to make tofu pudding and soy milk to take home, looking at the children going to school, and looking at the old people walking their dogs. He experienced a long-lost real feeling, and even the porridge and dishes in front of him were delicious.
It seems that whether a person is happy or not has no direct relationship with how much money he has.
Gu Tianqi finished the breakfast with mixed feelings in his heart, as if he was a person who had just been reborn for the first time. His eyes were filled with tears as if he had never eaten in his life.
Then he stood up, took his empty bowl to the sink where the boss had piled up the dishes, walked to the side of the road, scanned a shared bicycle with his mobile phone, got on it and headed towards the Gu family's old house.
