Your palms are so hot.
After it ended, they couldn't get over the ending, and Gu Yu kept crying. Chen Shengxu felt sorry for her, but his attempts to comfort her were insincere; he just handed her tissues to wipe her tears.
Shang Nuochu and the other girls haven't come out yet.
Weekend was the calmest one, standing by with his arms crossed watching them, mainly watching Chen Shengxu coax Gu Yu, not understanding where Chen Shengxu got so much patience.
It took a few more minutes for Gu Yu to calm down.
"Chen Shengxu".
Chen Shengxu looked at her, her eyes red, making her look even more like a rabbit. "It's alright, don't be sad."
I was quite puzzled by Chen Shengxu's feelings for Gu Yu over the weekend.
Gu Yu is stunningly beautiful, so why would Chen Shengxu like her so much? According to the novel's plot, Chen Shengxu should have a ridiculously beautiful girlfriend, right?
I can't figure it out.
If I can't think of anything over the weekend, I'll just not go look. Turning my gaze, I see that Shang Nuochu and the others have also composed themselves.
He asked, "Shall we go eat?"
Shang Nuochu said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go eat!"
Perhaps she was exhausted from crying, because Gu Yu had no appetite. She ate whatever Chen Shengxu put on her plate without even looking at it.
"Aren't you afraid I'll put something you can't eat on your plate?"
"You won't."
Chen Shengxu patted her head and said, "Eat more."
"Um."
After finishing our meal and resting for a while, Zhoumo asked, "What's next?"
Shang Nuochu asked, "Where would you all like to go for fun?"
Gu Yu: "Want to play an escape room game?"
Everyone thought it was a good idea.
After arriving at the store, I chose a horror theme.
Before we went in, all our cell phones were confiscated; we only had two walkie-talkies.
Upon entering the first room, one immediately sees a wall covered with thick chains, the chain links stained with blood.
I glanced at the story synopsis, which is basically the protagonist's own account. He had a perfect family, but one day his parents suddenly disappeared, and he began his journey to find them...
After unlocking the two locks, you will get a small piece of paper.
Gu Yu read aloud a sentence from the paper: "I am in great pain, but I have no regrets."
Everyone fell into deep thought. What was he suffering from?
Chen Shengxu: "Um, is it possible that his parents didn't disappear, but died instead?"
The question posed over the weekend was: "But who could possibly kill them?"
Chen Shengxu tapped on the painting of the protagonist hanging on the wall.
Before they could even be shocked by Chen Shengxu's words, the painting suddenly fell down, revealing a blood-covered face, which terrified everyone.
Fortunately, Chen Shengxu was facing away from the wall and his attention wasn't on it, so he didn't see it, but he was startled by their shouts.
Gu Yu didn't call out; she was internally fuming.
After calming down, he said over the weekend, "I think your analysis is correct, so he was agonizing over killing his parents, so the password is the day his parents disappeared?"
"Give it a try."
Shang Nuochu entered 0808, and the lock opened.
"Holy crap! You guys are awesome!"
Upon entering the second room, there was another set of chains on the bed, exactly the same as the ones outside, with bloodstains on the rings. In addition to the chains, there was also a dagger.
Another wall was covered in paintings of all kinds, and the only clue on the paper was a poem, which left the group completely baffled.
I studied it over and over but still couldn't figure it out, and then it was time to go.
The shopkeeper explained the back room to them, saying that each line of the poem corresponds to a painting on the wall, and they just needed to arrange them in order.
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Nobody thought of that.
After leaving, he spent the weekend wondering why the protagonist killed his parents; he was genuinely curious.
Shang Nuochu: "I'll play it again next time, and I'm sure I can beat it. Now I know."
"That's true, let's do it again sometime."
While they were talking, Chen Shengxu took out a bottle of water from his bag, unscrewed it, and handed it to Gu Yu so she could drink some water.
They strolled around together for a bit and then headed home before dinner.
Inside the taxi, Gu Yu stared at Chen Shengxu with his eyes wide open, saying, "My eyes hurt so much."
"You must have cried too much. Close your eyes for a while."
"Um."
Chen Shengxu poured some water onto a tissue and then placed it over Gu Yu's eyes. "Does that make you feel any better?"
"Um!"
"If you still feel unwell after you get home, remember to tell your mom to apply an ice pack."
"good."
After a while, Chen Shengxu took the tissue away and looked at her eyes, getting closer and closer, and finally gently kissed her eyes.
Gu Yu sensed that she was about to open her eyes, but Chen Shengxu covered her eyes with his hand first.
He said, "Don't look."
Gu Yu obediently closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of his palm. "Your palm is so hot, are you shy?"
Chen Shengxu did not answer.
I thought I wouldn't hear a reply and was about to ask again when I heard a very soft "hmm".
She smiled.
Chen Shengxu ran into Yu Cihuan on his way home from downstairs at Gu Yu's house, and was then dragged to the basketball court for a game.
Chen Shengxu cooked dinner himself, and Yu Cihuan shamelessly mooched a meal off him.
The two of them huddled together and played games for a while before Chen Shengxu started to tell them to leave, but Yu Cihuan wouldn't leave. He said he wanted to sleep there for the night.
"I disagree. Get the hell out of here and go home right now."
"I'm not leaving!" Yu Cihuan hugged the blanket on the bed. "It's not like I haven't slept with you before, why are you so agitated?"
Chen Shengxu exploded: "Explain yourself! What do you mean, 'slept together'?! I never slept with you! I'm still a pure virgin. What we did was just sleep in the same bed, chatting under the covers, okay?!"
"..."
"Besides, I am a married man now, how can I sleep with other people? I must keep myself pure for Gu Yu's sake."
"You're fucking crazy," Yu Cihuan ignored him, took the pajamas she had worn before from his closet and went to the bathroom. "I'm telling you, I brought my homework and underwear with me, and I'm definitely sleeping here tonight!"
"Then go sleep in another room."
"No! I want to sleep in your bed."
When Yu Cihuan came out, she saw Chen Shengxu sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging a pillow, looking just like a resentful woman.
"Fine, I'm not sleeping in your bed, I'll go next door, I give up."
Chen Shengxu regained his spirits and shouted, "Get out of here, get out of here!"
Yu Cihuan strongly suspected that this guy had manipulated himself, and quite successfully at that.
After taking a shower, Chen Shengxu told Gu Yu about it, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Gu Yu was amused for a long time. He was unhappy because Gu Yu laughed at him, and he kept pestering Gu Yu to coax him. After Gu Yu had finished laughing, he went to coax him and said a few words to him and he was fine.
Mengmeng: [I think you can calm yourself down on your own even if I don't comfort you.]
Incredibly handsome: 【Of course!】
Incredibly handsome: [The essential skill of a mature man is being able to comfort himself and never cause trouble for his girlfriend! Excellent.jpg]
Mengmeng: [That's amazing!]
*
Yu Cihuan bought breakfast.
He found it strange that Chen Shengxu spent the whole morning doing his homework and didn't send any messages to Gu Yu.
Why don't you talk to Gu Yu?
"She's doing her homework; she's going back to school tomorrow."
"So early?!"
"It's a top-tier high school, that's normal, but I still feel sorry for Gu Yu, she works so hard."
Yu Cihuan sensed something was wrong, but it was too late. Chen Shengxu launched into a long explanation of his feelings for Gu Yu.
He closed his eyes and almost collapsed.
At that moment, he suddenly realized: every love-struck person has a friend who is suffering greatly.
And he himself is that terrible friend.
I'm impressed.
Finally, Chen Shengxu realized he had to do his homework and stopped talking, and Yu Cihuan also came to his senses.
Gu Yu was writing furiously. Madam Gu would come in to pour her hot water and bring her some fruit, always quietly so as not to disturb her.
In the afternoon, Gu Yu was unsure about a political question and called Chen Shengxu. At this moment, Yu Cihuan very tactfully retreated from his room to the living room to do his homework.
The people inside the room are discussing a problem.
After they finished answering the question, neither of them hung up the phone; they would occasionally exchange a few words.
Chen Shengxu finished his homework first, and then went to preview English to keep Gu Yu company.
About two hours later, Gu Yu finished his homework and stretched.
"I'm exhausted."
"Get up and move around after sitting for so long, look into the distance and relax."
"Okay, I'll hang up now."
Okay, bye-bye.
"Bye-Bye."
Chen Shengxu also got up and stretched, then called out to Yu Cihuan a few times, but no one answered. He went to the living room to check, but there was no one there.
There was a note on the coffee table: I've finished my homework and I'm leaving now. I won't disturb you and Gu Yu. I grabbed an orange from the fridge; it's so sour it hurts my teeth. I suggest you eat more.
The oranges in the refrigerator weren't bought by him; they were given to him by his grandmother when he came back from her house last time, and he hadn't had a chance to eat them yet.
He didn't believe it, so he went to the refrigerator, took an orange, peeled it, ate a segment, and then immediately spat it out. He looked like he was in a terrible pain, as if his teeth were about to fall out.
Call my grandma.
Grandma was still playing mahjong, and when she answered the phone, she still sounded impatient: "What do you want now?"
"Grandma, that orange is really sour, don't eat it."
"I know, I gave it to you precisely because it's sour."
"ah?"
"It's your fault for not letting me play cards, this is revenge."
"..."
Chen Shengxu angrily hung up the phone.
Why are you acting like a child, holding grudges?
Then take the oranges out of the refrigerator and throw them away; they're too sour to eat.
I wasn't hungry in the evening, so I didn't eat dinner and just watched a variety show in the living room.
Not long after, Yu Cihuan asked him to go out for dinner, which he declined. Then Yu Cihuan came to his house.
He stared blankly at Yu Cihuan as she entered his house. "What are you doing?"
"Let's go out to eat."
"I told you I'm not hungry and I'm not going to eat."
"Food is as essential as iron; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal," Yu Cihuan turned off the TV, pulled him up, and said, "Come eat with me."
Chen Shengxu was dragged and pulled away like that.
"Did you have a fight with Gu Yu? Why do you look so down?"
"We didn't argue. Do you think I would argue with her?"
"No, you wouldn't want to."
"You already know, why are you still asking?"
"?"
“Gu Yu is very busy today. We had planned to video chat tonight, but her mother helped her out at the last minute. It seems she was making some desserts. Also, she has to go to school tomorrow, so she should go to sleep as soon as she gets back,” Chen Shengxu recounted. “We were just playing together yesterday. It’s like a dream.”
"Aren't you going to see her off tomorrow? You can still see her, right?"
"Her mother will take her tomorrow."
"So what difference does it make if you still go to pick her up after that?"
"But I want to see her now."
"Alright, stop thinking about it, come eat with me."
Yu Cihuan took him to a rice bowl restaurant and ordered two servings of shredded pork with garlic sauce rice bowls.
Chen Shengxu scrolled through his chat history with Gu Yu, looking depressed. Yu Cihuan frowned as she looked at him, wondering how to comfort him.
A girl came over.
She said to Chen Shengxu, "Hello, could I have your contact information?"
Chen Shengxu looked up and said, "I have a girlfriend. Sorry."
"Then I'm sorry to bother you."
Chen Shengxu turned off his phone and asked Yu Cihuan, "Gu Yu is so popular, what should I do to let her know how much I like her? How much I like her more than all her suitors?"
Yu Cihuan said: "Gu Yu should be more worried about this problem than you. Gu Yu probably has less than one-tenth of your suitors."
But he could never say those words aloud; he could only offer a perfunctory consolation: "Just be good to her."
"Yes, I also feel that I haven't been good enough to her, and I need to keep trying."
Yu Cihuan didn't know what to say; Chen Shengxu's words left him speechless.
After dinner, Yu Cihuan dragged him to stroll in the square. During this time, Chen Shengxu sent Gu Yu a message but didn't reply. It wasn't that Gu Yu didn't want to reply; she simply didn't have time and hadn't heard anything. Her phone was in her room, and she was in the kitchen watching the oven.
I finished my work at nine o'clock, went to take a shower, and then reached for my phone. Several messages popped up, all shared by Chen Shengxu.
She replied to each message one by one.
Cute Bunny: [This rice bowl looks so delicious, let's try it next time!]
Cute Bunny: [There are so many people in the square! Have fun!]
Cute Bunny: [I miss you too~ It's okay, we can see each other after school tomorrow at noon!]
Cute Bunny: [If a girl asks for your contact information, it means you're really attractive! Great job!]
Cute Bunny: [My phone was in my room, I was in the kitchen and didn't hear it, but I'm done now~]
Student Chen: [When are you going to sleep? I have to get up early for school tomorrow.]
Cute Bunny: [It's 10:30, are you still in the square?]
Xiao Chen: [No, on the way home, Yu Cihuan saw people arguing and dragged me along to watch the commotion.]
Cute Bunny: [I want to see too, let's call each other!]
Student Chen: [Okay.]
The two were on the phone, and Gu Yu could hear a chaotic argument through the receiver. It sounded like there were many people talking at once, and she couldn't make out what they were saying.
"What's all the noise about?"
"It seems like an old lady was buying vegetables and complained that the vegetables weren't good enough, so she asked for less money. Then the old lady selling the vegetables got upset and they started arguing."
"That's a bit outrageous."
“I think so too,” Chen Shengxu said, his cheerful demeanor returning after the phone call. “Guess who will leave first?”
"Buying groceries."
"Want to make a bet?"
"OK!"
"If you win, I'll reward you with a roasted sweet potato; if I lose, I'll punish you by giving you a roasted sweet potato."
"No matter how you calculate it, you're at a loss."
"No, no, no, I didn't lose out at all, I think I gained."
"Um?"
"Do you feel happy eating roasted sweet potatoes?"
"yes."
"If you're happy, I'll be happy too. Happiness is a very important emotional value, so no matter how you look at it, I'm the one who benefits."
"You have so many fallacies."
"This is not fallacy, it is the correct principle."
Okay~
But later Yu Cihuan found it boring and pulled him away, so they didn't see the ending.
"Who are you calling?"
"girlfriend."
"oh."
Gu Yu asked, "You've left?"
“Well, but we didn’t see the ending,” Chen Shengxu said, “so the bet is void. But to compensate for your curiosity, I’ll give you a roasted sweet potato and a fruit salad tomorrow.”
"good!"
Chen Shengxu kept talking to Gu Yu on the phone until Gu Yu went to sleep, at which point the call ended.
