Chapter 28 Gu Jingping



Yan Sisi walked to the department store. The counters at the entrance were all filled with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, cigarettes, alcohol, clothes and shoes, none of which were good choices for gifts.

Yan Sisi looked around the counter for a long time, and her eyes couldn't help but see the pens in the glass cabinet. She observed the appearance of several pens, and the one in the middle that was completely black and shiny caught her attention.

"Excuse me, how much is this pen?" Yan Sisi raised her head and asked the salesperson behind the counter.

Saleswoman Li Fang had trained her eyes to be sharp. She knew she was a wealthy woman by the way she was dressed. She reached into the counter and took out the pen. She smiled and asked, "Is this the one?"

Yan Sisi looked closer and thought it looked even better. "Yes, that's it."

Li Fang, "Twenty yuan."

Yan Sisi, "Can I take a look at it in my hand?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fang handed the pen in her hand to Yan Sisi. The pen felt particularly comfortable to touch due to its delicate texture. The entire pen body was black with a little bit of gold, and it looked particularly high-end and classy, ​​although the price was a bit high.

But she couldn't be too stingy towards her savior, so Yan Sisi gritted her teeth and took out all the money she had earned from selling vegetables and her recent pocket money, and the money was just enough.

Yan Sisi picked up the packaged pen and walked towards the library, but she arrived too early and there were not many people in the library. The tables at the back were also empty, and it seemed that the so-called teacher had not arrived yet.

Yan Sisi opened her textbook and began to study. Not far away, Yan's mother saw her daughter sitting alone on a stool. She couldn't help but pinch her husband and said, "What kind of blind date did you find? He even wants girls to wait for him."

Father Yan covered his mouth with a hissing sound, looked at the clock on the wall, and said, "It's not time yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

There are still more than ten minutes to the agreed time! This can only prove that their daughter is punctual, but I don't know why she suddenly bought a pen?

Yan Sisi couldn't help but immerse herself in her own thoughts as soon as she started studying. When she came to her senses, she saw her savior sitting opposite her. She subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall. Damn it, it's already 9:30. When did he come over?

Yan Sisi gently tucked her extra long hair behind her ears and said with a smile, "Hello."

Gu Jingping and others finally raised their heads after meeting many people. They couldn't help but be amazed. Although she looked pretty in the photo, she didn't give the same eye-catching feeling as seeing her in person.

The long black hair hung slightly beside the cheeks, and the charming eyes were looking at him with a gleam in their eyes. Gu Jingping, who had never known what nervousness was, felt a dry throat for the first time.

Gu Jingping sat upright and introduced himself: "Hello, Gu Jingping."

Yan Sisi looked at the other person's expressionless face and couldn't help but say, "Yan Sisi."

Gu Jingping then introduced himself: "I am 25 years old, my job involves confidential information and needs to be kept confidential. My salary is 85 yuan a month. I have no bad habits, I don't smoke or drink, and I will hand over my salary after I get married. The only drawback is that when I am busy at work, I may not go home for a month or two."

Because he was afraid of leaving a bad impression on people for the first time, Gu Jingping's voice was much softer than usual when he spoke.

Yan Sisi subconsciously took over the conversation, "Age 19, currently in school, unemployed, no bad habits."

After saying that, she realized something was wrong. Wasn't this the teacher her father had found for her? Why did she sound like she was going on a blind date?

She must have been framed by her father. How can this be a teacher?

Yan Sisi couldn't just get up and leave, so she could only sit there awkwardly and stare at the man opposite her, not knowing what to say.

Gu Jingping looked at her textbook and asked, "Is there anything you don't know?"

Yan Sisi thought that the main purpose of her coming here was to find someone to tutor her, and according to her father, the person in front of her was a graduate of a decent university, so since she was here, she might as well use him.

Yan Sisi pushed her textbook across the table, picked up her schoolbag, sat next to the man, pointed at the part of the textbook she didn't understand, and began to ask, "I don't quite understand this question."

Gu Jingping took the pen and paper, wrote and drew on the notebook, and quietly explained his solution to the problem.

The two of them sat there asking and answering each other, and it seemed that they got along well. Yan's father and mother, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw that their daughter did not make a fuss and left, and then they looked at each other and left with relief.

After Yan Sisi finished asking all the questions she didn't know the answer to, she looked up and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. Only then did she realize that she had turned the blind date into a question-solving session.

Yan Sisi lowered her hair to cover her red cheeks and silently packed her textbooks into her schoolbag. She was too embarrassed to look up at the man's expression. He must be speechless to her!

Gu Jingping stood by her side. After she finished packing her things, he took the schoolbag from her hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "It's noon now. Let's have lunch together?"

Yan Sisi listened to his hoarse voice. It was clearly not this voice when he first came. Could it be that it was caused by him giving her too many lessons?

Before she could decide whether to go for dinner, the man had already carried her schoolbag and walked towards the door of the library. Yan Sisi glanced at her own schoolbag and hurriedly followed him.

As soon as she walked out, a cold wind blew over. Yan Sisi couldn't help but sneeze. After that, she saw the man handing her a handkerchief.

Yan Sisi felt the snot about to flow out, so she took it and put it to her nose. After using it, she felt much more comfortable, but the man's handkerchief suffered.

Yan Sisi held the man's handkerchief in her hand and said to him, "I'll wash it and return it to you."

Gu Jingping nodded and continued walking forward, but this time he walked upwind of Yan Sisi, shielding her from most of the cold wind.

Yan Sisi looked down at the used blue plaid handkerchief in her hand and couldn't help wailing in her heart. It was over, her image must be completely ruined. How could she have taken it so quickly?

Yan Sisi felt that her image had been completely ruined. Since she didn't want to find a partner yet, she might as well just give up and scare the guy away. This way, she wouldn't have to worry about being scolded by her parents when she returned.

Gu Jingping took him to the state-owned hotel, put his schoolbag on a cleaned stool, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Yan Sisi looked at it and said undecidedly, "It's all right."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingping walked directly to the counter, paid, and ordered a portion of braised pork and stir-fried seasonal vegetables, plus a portion of egg custard and two bowls of rice.

When the waiter brought all the dishes, Yan Sisi realized that he had ordered so many dishes. She couldn't help but say, "This is too much!"

I silently calculated the price of the meal in my mind, and then felt my pocket. It seemed that the money I used to buy a pen in the morning was not enough.

Gu Jingping looked at her thin face and said, "It's okay. I have a big appetite."

The dishes had already been ordered, and Yan Sisi couldn't possibly say she didn't want to eat because that would be too much, so she could only pick up her chopsticks and start eating slowly, preparing to bring enough money back next time.

The sweet and sticky braised pork swept over her tongue as soon as it entered her mouth. No matter how many times she had eaten it, the braised pork cooked by the master chef was still so delicious.

I really hope her mother can learn this skill and cook it for her every day.

Yan Sisi finished her meal and just focused on eating without saying a word. When she stopped eating, most of the food was still left on the table. The man opposite her then quickened his eating pace.

Soon, he finished all the food on the table.

Yan Sisi widened her eyes. He ate too fast. It took him enough time to finish three meals in the time she took to finish one.

Gu Jingping met Yan Sisi's surprised eyes, put away the dishes and chopsticks neatly, and explained stiffly: "I'm too busy at work, so I'm used to eating so fast. Are you scared?"

At first, I could still control my eating speed, but when I saw that she didn't eat, I completely let go.

Yan Sisi closed her mouth, shook her head and said, "No, it's just the first time I see someone eat so fast."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to pick up his schoolbag.

Gu Jingping took the lead and picked up the schoolbag on the stool, and said to Yan Sisi who was looking at him: "Let me get it!"

Yan Sisi couldn't just snatch back her schoolbag, so she could only walk out while looking back at the man following her. She didn't know what to do for a moment.

The current situation is that the two of them are on a blind date. The blind date in the morning has turned into a question-and-answer session. Lunch has also been eaten, so what should they do next?

Maybe she should explain it clearly to avoid wasting other people's time.

Thinking of this, Yan Sisi stopped and said to Gu Jingping who was looking over, "I'm sorry, I didn't know this morning that our meeting today was a blind date arranged by my parents."

"There's nothing to be apologetic about. It's not too late for you to know now that it's a blind date." Gu Jingping could tell from her reaction when she saw him in the morning, but since she didn't say it out loud, he didn't point it out either.

After that, he asked directly: "I wonder what your impression of me is after getting to know me?"

Gu Jingping couldn't help but clench his hands into the straps of his schoolbag, staring at Yan Sisi intently. He was always confident, but suddenly he was a little afraid to hear a rejection from her. He had always been the one who rejected others, and perhaps this was retribution, and he was actually starting to get scared.

Yan Sisi said apologetically: "You are a very nice person, but I..."

Although Gu Jingping knew it was rude to interrupt someone, he didn't care and interrupted her next words too much. He pretended to be calm and asked, "It's okay, I understand. Can we teach a friend?"

For the first time, he felt a desire for a girl to get close to him, and he didn't want their relationship to be labeled impossible before they even got to know each other.

Yan Sisi met his dark eyes and replied with a smile: "Of course, after all, you are my savior."

If it weren't for him, she might not be in this world anymore.

Gu Jingping heard her mention this, fearing that she would recall the feeling of drowning and being strangled, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Are you still going to study this afternoon?"

Yan Sisi rarely met someone who was so patient in teaching her. She looked him in the eye and said shyly, "Is it okay?"

Gu Jingping nodded calmly and walked first towards the library where he had been in the morning. Yan Sisi glanced at his tall figure and followed him.

By the time Yan Sisi finished her study, the library staff had already started cleaning.

Yan Sisi quickly put down her textbooks and began to tidy up the mess on the table. Gu Jingping also stood up to help tidy up. When they came out of the library, the sky outside had begun to darken slightly.

After a whole day of studying, Yan Sisi felt confused. Her mind was full of various formulas and knowledge points. In the end, she was escorted home by Gu Jingping.

Yan Sisi looked at the family compound getting closer and closer. Occasionally, neighbors passing by looked at them curiously. From their expressions, they could tell that they were saying, "Xiao Yan, are you looking for a new partner?"

Yan Sisi finally reacted but it was too late. She really hadn't learned anything at all.

Yan Sisi stopped across from her family's yard, turned around and said to Gu Jingping, "My home is just across the street. Thank you for taking me back."

After that, she took the schoolbag he handed over, took out the pen she bought in the morning and handed it to him. Not daring to look at his expression, she said hesitantly, "Hey, this is for you to thank you for saving my life. I know these are definitely not enough..."

Suddenly, a male voice came out from behind her, and said with a hint of gloom in the voice: "Yan Sisi, it's only been a few days and you've found a new partner so quickly?"
