Chapter 147 Generous Girlfriend VS Poor Boyfriend 3
Gu Xingyuan stood there motionless, holding his phone. It would be a lie to say he didn't mind at all.
Although their relationship didn't start out purely, as a couple, he believed that there should still be basic respect between them.
If she really is having her cake and eating it too... he cannot tolerate such behavior.
The phone kept ringing, so Gu Xingyuan picked it up and went into the bedroom.
Jiang Zhiyi had already fallen asleep in bed and was having a sweet dream.
Gu Xingyuan turned the phone volume up to the maximum and then held it to Jiang Zhiyi's ear, trying to wake her up.
This is her phone, so she'll answer it herself.
After a long time, Gu Xingyuan felt like his ears were about to explode from the noise, but Jiang Zhiyi still didn't wake up and was sleeping soundly.
The person on the other end of the phone was persistent; even though no one answered, they didn't hang up, as if they were deliberately trying to outdo each other.
Your phone is ringing.
Gu Xingyuan nudged Jiang Zhiyi.
Jiang Zhiyi was still asleep, breathing evenly, with several red marks on her face and her hair scattered on the pillow.
Gu Xingyuan pushed her again.
This time she turned over, kicked the blankets off a little, and then continued to sleep.
He saw a large expanse of snow-white skin exposed at the neckline of her pajamas.
He sighed, feeling utterly helpless.
He gently tucked her in, then left the room to answer the phone. "Hello?"
The person on the other end seemed taken aback when they heard his voice, and after a moment asked, "Who are you? Isn't this Jiang Zhiyi's phone?"
"Yes, you didn't dial the wrong number. I'm her boyfriend. It's so late, and you've disturbed our rest. What do you need to talk to her about?" Gu Xingyuan's tone was unfriendly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Hello?"
The person on the other end remained silent.
Gu Xingyuan had also lost his patience. He hung up the phone and put it aside.
...
The next morning, when Jiang Zhiyi woke up, she reached out to touch the spot next to her. No one was there, but there was still a little warmth left. He must have come back last night.
"Gu Xingyuan, where are you?" After washing up, she went to the living room and looked around for him.
"You're awake? I bought breakfast outside, just eat this. I have something I want to talk to you about." Gu Xingyuan took a few plates out of the kitchen.
Jiang Zhiyi sat down at the dining table. "What do you want to say?"
“Someone called you last night, but I couldn’t wake you up, so I answered it for you.” His voice was calm, and nothing seemed amiss.
"Hmm, who called? What do they want?" Jiang Zhiyi nodded, not paying attention.
"Li Yao, your blind date?" he replied.
"Cough cough cough..." Jiang Zhiyi choked on her soy milk and started coughing incessantly. "No, this Li Yao isn't him, let me explain... cough cough..."
"Take a break." Gu Xingyuan saw that she was coughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face and her eyes were red, so he handed her two tissues.
"Where's my phone?" she asked.
Gu Xingyuan got up to get her phone and said, "He didn't say anything last night, so I hung up the phone."
Jiang Zhiyi scrolled through the call log, which showed that the call lasted one minute. "I have no relationship with him. We're not even that close."
Gu Xingyuan spoke clearly: "Hmm, what you mean by 'it's okay' is that you felt you weren't a good match after the blind date, that you didn't like him, so it's okay? I'm your boyfriend now, and... you still want to go on blind dates?"
"No." Jiang Zhiyi quickly shook her head.
Don't be fooled by Gu Xingyuan's gentle personality and seemingly considerate nature. In reality, he is petty, holds grudges, and can be quite wicked at times.
“I did go on a blind date with him before, but that was last year. I wasn’t with you then, and that’s when I saved his number. I have a relative named Li Yao, and I added a few extra words to his name in my contacts so as not to confuse the two of them. I basically don’t contact him anymore.”
Gu Xingyuan looked at her without saying a word.
“I’m telling the truth.” Jiang Zhiyi leaned closer and found another Li Yao’s phone number in front of him, then deleted the phone number of her blind date, Li Yao.
“That’s good, so he won’t bother me again. I’ve been annoyed by him for a long time. I clearly rejected him after that blind date, but he still occasionally messages or calls me. If it weren’t for politeness and worrying about what he might say to my family, I wouldn’t want to talk to him at all.”
Gu Xingyuan slowly said, "Yes, let's eat, it'll get cold soon."
Jiang Zhiyi, seeing that things had been explained, continued, "There's another reason I'm not going home for the New Year this time. I'm worried my dad will make me go on blind dates again, which would be a huge hassle. I haven't told him yet that I'm dating you..."
"It's all your fault! You don't want to take me to meet your parents, so I don't want to tell my dad about you either. Anyway, I think we should be fair to each other. I'll take you home to meet my dad whenever you let me meet your aunt."
"I'll bring it with me when I have the chance..." he said.
“You always say there will be a chance, or next time or something, you just don’t want to take me with you, you just don’t want me to see her.”
Jiang Zhiyi interrupted him directly, deciding to lay everything out in the open and make things clear.
Gu Xingyuan met her gaze. "I'm sorry, you know my mother isn't in good health. I didn't want her to worry about other things, so I haven't told her yet."
He wasn't sure how long they could talk. If he told Wang Hongling, she would definitely keep thinking about it, and if they suddenly broke up one day, he would have to explain it to her.
Jiang Zhiyi: "I think we are a good match. You only have a mother and I only have a father. If we are together, we will both have parents."
“My parents divorced when I was very young, and I was really sad. You can see your mother every day now, and I’m quite envious of you. I haven’t seen my mother for many years. She has a new family, and I don’t want to bother her.”
Gu Xingyuan lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Jiang Zhiyi took his hand and said, "But I understand how you feel. It's okay, there's no rush. Let's eat."
"Mm." He served her a bowl of porridge.
"This porridge isn't sweet enough, I'd like to add some sugar." Jiang Zhiyi took a sip of the plain porridge and felt it was a bit bland; she preferred it sweeter.
"I'll go get it." Gu Xingyuan got up and went to the kitchen.
He brought over a jar of white sugar, added a small spoonful to it, and stirred it well for her. "Now try it and see if it's sweet."
"It's ready, it tastes good," Jiang Zhiyi said.
She fed him a spoonful, saying, "You should try some too."
Gu Xingyuan paused, but still opened his mouth.
"How does it taste? Do you want me to feed you?" she asked.
Gu Xingyuan: "It's pretty good. You can eat it yourself. Don't worry about me."
He thought it was a little too sweet.
