Gu Yu did it on purpose.
Chen Shengxu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Wh-what?" He took a step forward. "Gu Yu, what does this mean?"
"I saw you the night before last, and then I handed you a bottle of water."
Before Chen Shengxu could react, Gu Yu said goodbye and left.
He stood there stunned for a long time.
That day wasn't a hallucination; she really came.
Gu Yu, you're always so soft-hearted.
After returning to his dormitory, Gu Yu sent a message to Chen Shengxu.
My question: [When are you leaving?]
Dislike Xiao Chen: [Tomorrow afternoon.]
My response: 【Okay.】
Dislike Xiao Chen: [Can you come and drop me off?]
My message: [I have class.]
Dislike Xiao Chen: [Okay.]
My question: [Why did I suddenly end up in the South City?]
Dislike Xiao Chen: [Let's talk about cooperation.]
Gu Yu curled his lip and changed his nickname to: Hates Xiao Chen +1.
My response: "Oh, I thought they came specifically to see me."
Dislike Xiao Chen +1: [True.]
Dislike for Xiao Chen +1: [I only cooperated with this company because I knew you were in Nancheng.]
My response: 【Okay.】
Gu Yu changed the note back: I hate Xiao Chen.
The next day, Chen Shengxu and Brother Du returned to Liangcheng together.
After arriving, I informed Gu Yu.
Then I remembered that I had a brother named Yu Cihuan.
"Hey? What's up? What happened between you and Gu Yu?"
"We've reached an agreement; she gave me a chance to pursue her again."
"That's good. Hey, I've finally made it through. Best of luck to you guys, bro."
"Um."
Where are you now?
"I'm back, in Liangcheng."
"Okay, let's have a meal together sometime."
"good."
"Hang up."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shengxu picked up Brother Du and spun him around twice, then left Brother Du standing there bewildered and skipped away.
"No, is he crazy?" Brother Du said, puzzled. "What's he doing here? What's he getting so excited about? Is he that happy just because the deal is done?"
Chen Sheng was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.
Then they immediately threw themselves into their work.
He would try his best to confess his feelings to Gu Yu, stand upright beside her, and be worthy of her.
*
When Gu Yu had no classes or meetings on the weekend at the end of the month, she returned to Liangcheng because Old Gu missed her.
However, she also had her own selfish motives.
After Chen Shengxu learned that he was the pursuer, he became very distant. She understood, but she missed him too much, so this excuse to come back was perfect.
While she was in the taxi, she saw Chen Shengxu come out of a shop by the roadside, accompanied by several boys.
The corners of his mouth turned up.
However, she didn't stop the taxi and went home first.
She had lunch with her parents and posted photos on her WeChat Moments.
Chen Shengxu sent her a message that afternoon.
Dislike Xiao Chen: [When did you arrive?]
My message: [Noon.]
Dislike Xiao Chen: [Why didn't you tell me? I could have picked you up.]
Gu Yu thought about that glance he'd made by the roadside and typed: "Aren't you busy?"
Dislike Xiao Chen: [No rush, we can postpone it.]
She was happy.
My response: [I'm not used to it anymore.]
This was the truth. The distance that time had created hadn't disappeared after we met, and the change in our status also required time to adjust. I couldn't talk to him like I used to.
She was sometimes cautious, and Chen Shengxu was cautious at all times.
Chen Shengxu thought for a while before replying: "I'm pursuing you, so you can order me around as you please, and I won't complain."
My response: 【Okay.】
That's a good point, but Gu Yu most likely won't do that.
Dislike Xiao Chen: [Are you free tonight? Can we have dinner together?]
My answer: [I'm free.]
Dislike Xiao Chen: [Okay, is there anything you want to eat?]
My question: Is that rice noodle shop still open?
Dislike Xiao Chen: [Keep it on, I'll pick you up at seven.]
My response: 【Okay.】
Chen Shengxu arrived at the gate of the residential area on time that evening.
Gu Yu saw him sitting on the electric scooter, just like when they went on a date before they broke up.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes that day, she would never have imagined that Chen Shengxu would wear a suit.
He stepped into the car, patted Chen Shengxu on the shoulder, indicating that he could leave.
After entering, Chen Shengxu asked, "Is it the same as before?"
"Um."
Chen Shengxu ordered a bowl of tomato and a bowl of curry.
He ate tomatoes, while Gu Yu ate curry.
They didn't say a word while waiting for the rice noodles.
Chen Shengxu didn't understand why it was awkward when he first started dating, but now he does.
Because we don't see each other often, because of the time gap.
Awkwardness, like a spider web, ensnared them, slowly devouring them completely.
Chen Shengxu picked at his fingers, "When are you going back?"
"Tomorrow afternoon."
"I'll take you there."
"No need, my dad will take me."
"good."
He didn't know why he felt so bad; he just couldn't see her off, and his heart and throat hurt so much.
Fortunately, the rice noodles arrived quickly, preventing the awkward situation from escalating further.
Gu Yu moved the white fungus aside.
After hesitating for two seconds, Chen Shengxu finally spoke up: "Give it to me."
"No."
He choked.
Before, without him even saying anything, Gu Yu would directly put the food she didn't like on her plate for her, and would give her a smug smile.
*
Gu Yu did it on purpose.
She deliberately refused to let Chen Shengxu give her gifts, and deliberately didn't give him the silver ear fungus she didn't like.
The willfulness and insecurity that hadn't been shown in the past two years all began to surface after Chen Shengxu appeared.
She just wanted to vent her anger on him, to go against him, and to make him unhappy.
After she learned that Chen Shengxu's father had his case overturned, she read a lot of related news and saw some of Chen Shengxu's information.
He is so outstanding now that it terrifies her.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to keep up with him.
When things start out out of sync, that's when their relationship begins to crumble little by little.
She is still a student, and it will be several years before she starts working. During those years, they will most likely not see each other frequently.
Moreover, he didn't persist just now. Before, he would pester me to give it to him, and he would also use the excuse of wasting food to eat some white fungus.
She thought, he has changed, and so have I.
After dinner, she asked Chen Shengxu to take her home.
*
Gu Yu sat on the bay window of the room, looking outside.
Chen Shengxu didn't leave; he stood in that familiar corner looking at Gu Yu's room.
He saw a figure by the bay window.
She was unhappy.
Why?
He went through everything he had done that day and realized he hadn't done anything wrong.
"No, it's also possible that some small action hurt her." But he really couldn't think of any small action.
"Perhaps it's because I didn't insist on helping her eat the white fungus? Or because I didn't insist on giving it to her?"
Chen Shengxu took out his phone and sent a message to Gu Yu.
"Ding-dong"
Gu Yu took out his phone.
Childish: [Are you unhappy and want to go out for a walk to cheer yourself up?]
I suddenly burst into tears.
She whispered, "I'm sorry, Chen Shengxu, I couldn't control myself. The words were already out when I regretted them. Don't be angry with me, don't leave me..."
Chen Shengxu hadn't received a reply and was getting increasingly anxious.
You don't mean you don't want to talk to me, do you?
He then thought about it again.
It's understandable if you don't want to talk to me, after all, I'm just your ex-boyfriend now.
I would find it strange if she were the same as before.
But I still feel really bad.
He didn't dare to send any more messages to Gu Yu.
He only went back after the lights went out.
The next day he transferred the money to Gu Yu.
Childish Ghost: [Transfer 10,000]
Childish Guy: [I can't go to Nancheng much lately. I'll come see you in a while. Take care of yourself.]
Mine: 【No need, my dad gave me the money.】
Gu Yu returned the money.
Chen Shengxu's initial joy had almost completely vanished.
Gu Yu is so hard to win over.
Luckily, she's hard to pursue. Others would give up quickly if they did, but I wouldn't.
He wondered again, does Gu Yu like me?
Seeing that he looked dejected, Brother Du squatted under the tree and walked over.
Question: "What are you doing?"
Chen Shengxu looked up at him and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by the girl refusing to take your money?"
"Being lazy has nothing to do with you."
Chen Shengxu pouted as if he was about to cry.
"Damn!" Brother Du suddenly remembered his past relationship with his ex-girlfriend and thought to himself, "I spoke too quickly."
"Don't cry, there are exceptions."
Chen Shengxu's tears were already welling up. "Then tell me what you mean by 'exceptional'?"
"Ahem, well, it's just..." Brother Du scratched his head, unable to come up with an excuse no matter what he tried.
Chen Shengxu realized he was just trying to coax him, and asked again, "Then tell me, do girls who don't want money like boys who give them money?"
"Of course I like it, I just don't want you to spend money on it."
“No, Gu Yu didn’t say that,” Chen Shengxu said, tears dripping onto the ground as he lowered his head. “She told me before that she only spent my money because she liked me. She said that she would only feel guilty if she spent money on someone she didn’t like.”
"She doesn't like me anymore..."
“I hurt her too much. She doesn’t want my money anymore, she won’t let me take her to school, and she won’t let me eat food she doesn’t like.”
"She's keeping her distance from me."
...
Brother Du listened to him ramble on and on, but he didn't understand a thing.
sigh.
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
Luckily, I don't have a boyfriend.
Once he stopped talking, I grabbed him and pulled him up.
Seeing his swollen eyes, I wanted to laugh, but I held it in.
"Don't think too much, let's eat first."
"I can't eat, I'm very sad."
"Man is made of iron, food is made of steel! We must eat."
He couldn't hold it in any longer, and a two-pixel smile appeared on his lips.
"You're laughing at me! You're making fun of me! I'm already feeling so bad, ahhh..."
"No, no, no, I wasn't laughing at you..."
Chen Shengxu did not listen.
"A real man can bend and stretch!" Brother Du roared. "If she doesn't like you anymore, just make her like you again. Do you think she'll like you if you keep crying and begging here? You're just a piece of trash."
Chen Shengxu was stunned by his shout.
Those words went through his mind several times.
"I understand, I will try my best."
“Hey, right, this is the Chen Shengxu I know,” Brother Du put his arm around his shoulder. “Let’s go eat.”
"Um!"
Brother Du wouldn't tell him that he said it to change the subject.
That way he won't keep laughing at me.
That evening, Chen Shengxu and Gu Yu chatted briefly before running out of things to say.
He sensed that Gu Yu didn't want to talk to him and didn't even say goodnight.
"Chen Shengxu, you still need to keep working hard."
