Chapter 21 The couple's relationship is getting better and better.
Gu Yuheng first asked Su Niannian to wait for him in the study.
He turned around, went to the refrigerator, poured himself a glass of milk, and then put it in the microwave.
One minute later.
He carried the milk glass back to the study with his long, slender fingers.
The door was slightly ajar, and Gu Yuheng's gaze pierced through the crack as he saw Su Niannian sitting upright at her desk.
They looked like well-behaved students waiting for the teacher to start the lesson.
He curled the corners of his lips into a smile and pushed the door open to go inside.
As he passed by Su Niannian, he naturally placed the milk glass on the desk in front of her.
A pine scent wafted past Su Niannian's nose, and then a glass of milk appeared in front of her.
She looked up at the tall man who had sat down in the chair.
"For me?"
Gu Yuheng flipped through the English version of Pride and Prejudice, his gaze calmly fixed on the book, his eyes lowered: "Hmm, drinking more milk can help with calcium intake."
A warm feeling instantly welled up in Su Niannian's heart.
That uncle is so thoughtful.
Is this the charm of a mature man?
Actually, being older has its advantages; you are thoughtful, considerate, and know how to care for others.
But the next second...
Gu Yuheng quickly scanned the English text above and said calmly, "Although twenty is a bit late, it's not that absolute in medicine. It's not too late to hurry up now."
Su Niannian was listening attentively at first, but the more she listened, the more she sensed the hidden meaning in Gu Yuheng's words.
She thought about it for a moment, and then it suddenly dawned on her.
Isn't he implying that he's short?
She puffed out her cheeks and said, "I'm 1.64 meters tall, not short at all, okay? Standing next to you, I look a little... short, but that's only because you're too tall, isn't it?"
It's not like it's a roadside telephone pole, why does it need to be 1.91 meters long?
Standing next to Gu Yuheng, she didn't even reach his shoulder, making her look like a little potato.
Gu Yuheng looked away from his book, moved slightly closer to her, and placed his warm hand on the little girl's head.
"Just kidding, but you're too thin and really need to eat more. Drink it while it's hot."
Su Niannian felt as if her skin was being burned by his touch, and a heat rose up involuntarily, which quickly spread to her cheeks.
She picked up the milk glass, lowered her head and took a sip of milk to hide her embarrassment, not daring to look at the man in front of her.
Why does Gu Yuheng always like to touch her head?
I feel really embarrassed.
Su Niannian slowly sipped her milk.
Gu Yuheng leaned back comfortably in his chair, casually flipping through "Pride and Prejudice," chatting with her in English about the plot and the characters' fates as if they were friends.
The room was filled with the rustling sound of paper being scribbled.
After a few days of getting to know each other, Su Niannian discovered that Gu Yuheng's spoken English was so good that she envied him.
He speaks with a standard London accent, without a trace of Chinglish.
My English is practically terrible compared to his.
"Niannian, the first step to learning English well is to dare to speak. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, and don't be afraid of being laughed at by others. Only by taking this step can your English ability improve."
"Your problem right now is that you're too afraid of saying the wrong thing, so you hesitate before you even open your mouth. Don't treat me like a teacher, just like a friend. You can speak up boldly, and even if you say something wrong, I won't laugh at you."
Gu Yuheng went home and changed out of his suit. He was now wearing khaki pants and a white shirt, his gaze serious yet encouraging.
With his encouragement, Su Niannian gradually overcame her lack of self-confidence and began to speak up more confidently.
Before I knew it, the milk in the glass was gone.
An hour has passed.
Gu Yuheng leaned back in his chair, his posture relaxed: "Niannian, you did well today. You have a good understanding, but you lack guidance. As long as you speak more, you will definitely be able to master English in time."
Su Niannian nodded, and was about to thank him for his guidance when she was caught off guard to see Gu Yuheng leaning towards her.
Her mind went blank.
As that handsome face drew closer, her heart pounded faster and faster.
Gu Yuheng wouldn't want to kiss me, would he?
As soon as the idea came to mind, Su Niannian nervously tried to reach out to stop him, but accidentally knocked over the milk cup.
The cup made a crisp clinking sound as it hit the table, and white milk overflowed from it.
It then spilled onto the man's khaki trousers.
Gu Yuheng lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping lightly over the stains on his thigh, and he frowned slightly.
He paused for only a moment, then reached out and wiped Su Niannian's lips.
Skin to skin.
Su Niannian felt her lips being brushed by slightly rough fingertips.
Then, a smear of milk appeared on the man's smooth, clean fingertips.
Gu Yuheng looked at her calmly: "You had some smudges on your lips, I was just wiping them clean for you, are you overthinking it again?"
"No," Su Niannian denied decisively.
This is more like an admission of guilt.
Su Niannian was so embarrassed she was practically fuming. She wanted to change the subject, so she noticed the stain on Gu Yuheng's pants.
"I got your pants dirty, let me wash them for you."
Aunt Chen happened to be passing by the study door when she heard Su Niannian's voice and was momentarily stunned.
Clean it thoroughly?
The door happened to be ajar, and driven by curiosity, Aunt Chen quietly walked to the door and peered inside through the crack.
Then he gasped.
Inside the room, Su Niannian was squatting in front of Gu Yuheng's legs. She was worried that the milk stains would be difficult to clean if left for too long, so she was wiping his thighs with a tissue.
But from Aunt Chen's perspective, it looked like Su Niannian was kneeling in front of Gu Yuheng's legs, doing something unspeakable.
This was the first time Aunt Chen had ever seen anything like it, and her old face turned red.
I couldn't help but cover my mouth and chuckle.
The young couple's relationship is getting better and better.
The old lady can rest assured now.
Aunt Chen left quietly, and the two people in the room were completely unaware that she had been there.
Gu Yuheng had drunk some alcohol tonight, and under the influence of the alcohol, he felt a little restless. He clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "Alright, if it's not clean, just throw it away. Don't do it anymore."
Su Niannian's thrifty nature kicked in; when she heard that Gu Yuheng was going to throw away such expensive pants, she was heartbroken and wanted to beat her chest in despair.
The hand holding the tissue wiped with even more vigor.
"Trust me, it can be wiped clean. I used to always do this when I got soy sauce stains on my pants, and you couldn't even tell after washing it."
Gu Yuheng was instantly aroused by her, and something was stirring within him.
If I don't push her away soon, I'll make her cry again tonight.
He raised his hand and grasped Su Niannian's shoulder, then restrained himself from pushing her away.
"Stop rubbing."
Startled by his somewhat stern tone, Su Niannian's shoulders trembled slightly. Her almond-shaped eyes, filled with confusion and a hint of grievance, looked up at the man's taut jawline.
In Gu Yuheng's eyes, she looked like a pitiful little rabbit, and a part of his heart began to crumble.
I can't stay here any longer.
His self-control, which he was so proud of, was completely useless when facing Su Niannian.
He suddenly stood up and, to Su Niannian's astonishment, fled in panic for the first time.
Su Niannian: "..."
Why is Gu Yuheng running so fast?
Are you in a hurry to pee? Do you need to go to the toilet urgently?
