Inside 410, Li Xiaogang opened his sleepy eyes.
The next second, a pair of complicated eyes came into his view.
As the saying goes, "The eyes are the windows to the soul."
That is indeed the case.
People often express their inner thoughts through their eyes.
In Li Xiaogang's eighteen years of life, he saw his mother's helplessness and bitterness through this "window," as well as his good brother Chen Feng's arrogance and resilience.
But Li Xiaogang had never seen Gao Mei's expression so indescribable before.
"Senior Gao Mei, I... I couldn't help it, I'm sorry..."
After staring at each other for a long time, Li Xiao finally managed to stammer out these words.
Gao Mei withdrew her gaze, wrapped herself in the bed sheet, and stood up.
Did you wear it last night?
"Huh? What should I wear?"
Li Xiaogang looked bewildered, clearly not understanding what Gao Mei meant.
"Fine, whether you wear it or not, just go buy me a box of 72-hour emergency contraceptive pills later. I don't want to get pregnant."
After saying that, Gao Mei went into the bathroom.
Li Xiaogang sat blankly on the large bed until he heard the sound of running water, which brought him back to his senses.
"Buy birth control pills? Is that really necessary?"
Ten minutes later, Gao Mei, having finished washing up, walked out of the bathroom, the complex emotions in her eyes long gone.
Upon seeing this, Li Xiaogang felt a sudden pang of unease.
She's already done that with me, so why is she still so calm?
In Li Xiaogang's expectations, Gao Mei would either fly into a rage or snuggle tenderly in his arms.
But what he didn't expect was that Gao Mei was no different from usual.
"Don't just stand there, go wash up too."
Gao Mei said, "We still have to go back to school later."
"oh oh."
Li Xiaogang responded and slowly walked towards the bathroom.
After a quick rinse, Li Xiaogang changed into a clean set of clothes.
The moment he stepped out of the bathroom, he quietly began to observe Gao Mei.
Gao Mei was sitting on the edge of the bed, head down, engrossed in fiddling with her phone, not even glancing at him.
It was as if nothing had happened, as if Li Xiaogang were a stranger who was dispensable.
"I'm a guy, shouldn't I take the initiative at this time?"
Li Xiaogang thought to himself.
Chen Feng only taught him what to do before "going to bed," but he didn't mention a word about how to face Gao Mei after "going to bed."
Therefore, how to break the current "stalemate" depends entirely on Li Xiaogang's true thoughts.
"Senior Gao Mei, I will take responsibility for you."
Mustering his courage, Li Xiaogang walked up to Gao Mei and spoke in a nervous yet extremely solemn tone.
No matter how materialistic or selfish Gao Mei was, she still ended up having a night of passion with him.
A man should face challenges bravely and take responsibility proactively.
At least, that's what Li Xiaogang thinks.
Gao Mei raised her head, her expression unusually strange. "Pack up, we should go."
"Okay... alright..."
Gao Mei's casual demeanor made Li Xiaogang feel empty, but he knew that Chen Feng was still waiting downstairs. Therefore, he suppressed his strange feelings, packed his things, and took Gao Mei downstairs.
"Good morning, Li Wanwan."
Li Xiaogang first greeted Li Wanwan, then took Gao Mei's hand and solemnly said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, this is Gao Mei."
Chen Feng looked Li Xiaogang up and down as if he were an idiot. "I've known her name for a month now."
"Forehead……"
Li Xiaogang scratched his head awkwardly. Actually, he wanted to tell Chen Feng that his relationship with Gao Mei was no longer the same, but he was limited by his emotions and eloquence and could not express himself clearly.
Just as Li Xiaogang was reorganizing his words, Gao Mei suddenly pulled her hand back.
Li Xiaogang was even more embarrassed.
Because he saw a look of "disdain" in Gao Mei's slightly furrowed brows.
They've already been through that, so why would Senior Gao Mei still dislike her?
"Don't hold my hand anymore, it's hot and your palms are sweaty."
Seemingly afraid that Li Xiaogang might overthink things, or perhaps due to Chen Feng's "deterrent power," Gao Mei offered an explanation.
Chen Feng didn't bother with that. "I'll take you back to school."
After saying that, Chen Feng and Li Wanwan walked out of the villa and got into the driver's seat and passenger seat of the Porsche Cayenne, while Li Xiaogang and Gao Mei sat side by side in the back.
"Buzz!"
With the sound of an engine starting, the vehicle headed towards Gucheng Finance.
Chen Feng had a foot injury, but it didn't affect his ability to press the accelerator and brake. Along the way, he chatted and laughed with Li Wanwan, and would occasionally hum along to the songs playing on the stereo.
Li Xiaogang and Gao Mei, on the other hand, looked out the window without saying a word.
An hour later, Chen Feng stopped his car at the east gate of the ancient city's financial district.
"I have other things to do, so I'll leave you here."
"good."
Li Xiaogang and Gao Mei got out of the car and watched the Porsche Cayenne disappear into the dust.
"Senior Gao Mei, wait here for me for a moment."
Li Xiaogang said to Gao Mei, "I'll be back soon."
Is there anything else?
"I...I'll go buy you medicine..."
"No need, just give me the money, I'll buy it myself."
"But……"
Li Xiaogang wanted to say something more, but Gao Mei waved her hand to interrupt him, saying, "I didn't sleep well last night, and I don't want to waste time here."
Li Xiaogang pursed his lips and took out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket.
Before he could ask how much the birth control pills cost, Gao Mei snatched the money from his hand.
"By the way, could you urge Chen Feng again and ask him when I can go to work in Douyin?"
"OK."
Li Xiaogang nodded blankly.
Gao Mei gave Li Xiaogang a deep look, then turned and left.
Looking at that graceful yet indifferent figure, Li Xiaogang felt a mix of emotions.
The moment I woke up this morning, the mindset of this young man experiencing his first stirrings of love had already undergone a subtle change.
Previously, he had seen through Gao Mei's true colors. Although he was sad, he was also able to let it go, and he was in a mood to ignore Gao Mei and not bother with her anymore.
But after last night, Li Xiaogang's thoughts changed.
He felt that since Gao Mei had become his woman, he should see it through to the end.
The more indifferent Gao Mei appeared, the more depressed Li Xiaogang became.
Originally, Chen Feng wanted to break Gao Mei's "white moonlight" halo and make Li Xiaogang completely let go of her;
But Chen Feng never dreamed that Gao Mei's "white moonlight" halo was shattered, but she became the "cinnabar mole" in Li Xiaogang's heart.
Not only did Li Xiaogang fail to let go of this relationship, he became increasingly entangled in it!
...
On the other side, the parking lot of the International Business Building.
As soon as Chen Feng parked the car in the parking space, Li Wanwan covered her flat stomach and said, "Chen Feng, I'm hungry."
The farmhouse did not provide breakfast for the next day, so neither Chen Feng and Li Wanwan, nor Zhao He, Du Lei, and the others had breakfast.
