Chapter 18 Who told you not to eat in the car
Gu Yixiao was driving and Xu Ruchu was sitting in the passenger seat, holding an unfinished bottle of breakfast milk and two eggs in her hands.
That was the food she hadn't had time to remove.
Gu Yixiao turned his head slightly and glanced at her.
Xu Ruochu's eyes drooped slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She seemed to be thinking about something and looked a little embarrassed.
"Finish your breakfast quickly and don't waste food." Gu Yixiao said in a deep voice.
"Can I... really eat in the car?" Xu Ruochu raised her eyes and looked at him in surprise.
In their previous life, when the two were brought together by the Gu family, the elders, in order to help them develop feelings for each other, required Gu Yixiao to take her with him wherever he went on weekends.
That was the first time she and he rode in the same car, but he seemed not used to being in the same small space with her, so he made three rules: one, no eating in the car, two, no talking in the car, and three, no wearing skirts...
Xu Ruochu remembered it very clearly, so in this life, she would either not ride in his car, or if she did, she would automatically stop eating, drinking, and talking.
"Yeah," Gu Yixiao replied, then asked, "Did anyone tell you not to eat in the car?"
"Uh..." That's not what you said!
Xu Ruochu didn't dare to say the latter part of the sentence, so he said awkwardly, "No, no, do you... want to eat something?"
"I've eaten, you eat by yourself." Gu Yixiao said indifferently, his eyes shifting to the road ahead.
"Oh, okay."
Gu Yixiao was driving intently, and the atmosphere in the car became a little strange.
Xu Ruochu didn't dare to speak, because the uncomfortable feeling of riding in this man's car in her previous life was still there.
She peeled the eggshells silently, thinking: When we get there, I'll find an excuse to let him leave on his own.
She was really nervous being with him and always felt uncomfortable all over.
Perhaps it was because of the thin air in the carriage or because of the depression in his heart, but Xu Ruchu suddenly coughed a few times.
Gu Yixiao noticed her abnormality, but didn't say much and continued to drive attentively.
The journey is not long and you will reach your destination in a few minutes.
The two of them got out of the car separately. But when Xu Ruchu saw Gu Yixiao walking in another direction, she didn't ask any more questions, but just felt relieved.
She finally didn't have to walk with him anymore, and she quickly walked towards her friend.
At this moment, she discovered that Huo Ran had just arrived at the scene.
The two exchanged greetings and then became busy caring about Ran Ran.
"Ran Ran, I'm glad you're okay. Don't be angry." Xu Ruochu said.
"...Oh, I'm fine. Don't worry, Xiaomo is with me. You two can just watch the car for me. We need to continue arguing with her."
Ran Ran intentionally or unintentionally brought the two together to be alone.
Xu Ruochu was only worried about his friend and didn't notice the other party's intention. He really thought someone needed to watch the car, so he nodded.
She gave some advice and then walked to Ran Ran's car to check for scratches.
"Fortunately it's not too serious. We can find a professional to fix it so it won't be noticeable." She touched the dented area and sighed softly.
Upon hearing this, Huo Ran immediately gave her a thumbs up: "I didn't expect that a girl like you would know so much about cars.
"No, no." Xu Ruochu replied with a smile: "Although Ran Ran and Xiao Mo both have cars, their pocket money is just enough. If the car has a small scratch or something, they can't afford the high cost of repainting. In this case, I will learn some small skills to help them deal with it, which just saves them some pocket money."
Who told them to drive luxury cars? Just a little paint job costs thousands of dollars, and the car insurance doesn't cover it.
"Amazing! I've heard you're a very smart and independent girl. You're really great!"
"Thank you for the compliment. I'm just an ordinary person who likes to study blindly."
“…”
The two of them were chatting freely, not noticing that there was a pair of eyes behind them always on her.
After finishing his work, Gu Yixiao walked over from a distance. Seeing a man and a woman standing next to the accident car and chatting casually, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
He strode forward with great strides.
"Xu Ruchu." Gu Yixiao said coldly.
Xu Ruchu turned around and saw that he had been standing behind her without her noticing.
"Cousin, why... are you here?" she asked in confusion.
"Here."
Gu Yixiao grabbed her wrist and put a box of cough medicine into her palm.
Xu Ruochu lowered her head, looking at the medicine box in her palm, then raised her head and looked at him puzzledly: "Why are you buying medicine?"
"How dare you ask? There's a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so don't go somewhere so far away with others." Gu Yixiao responded expressionlessly.
Xu Ruochu bit her lip: "......"
His tone was full of disgust and blame.
She was about to retort, but was interrupted by Gu Yixiao.
"Also," he turned his head towards Huo Ran and continued, "Our family tradition is not to allow school-age children to fall in love. If you dare to look for her again, I will definitely not let you go."
Gu Yixiao's attitude was cold and tough, just like a father scolding his children.
"Brother, stop talking! We are not..."
Xu Ruochu was anxious to explain, but Gu Yixiao interrupted her directly.
"You still want to protect him?" He raised his eyebrows, a sarcastic arc appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Haha...Brother, you misunderstood." Huo Ran was speechless by this man and could only hurriedly explain with a dry laugh:
"Xiaochu and I are just ordinary friends, there is no ambiguous relationship."
"Hmph, that's for the best. I don't want to see you taking her so far again, almost staying out all night." Gu Yixiao snorted coldly, his words full of warning.
After saying that, he put his arm around Xu Ruochu's shoulders, turned around and strode in the other direction.
“…”
Huo Ran stood there in confusion.
The heir to the richest man, Gu Yixiao...is actually his brother?
My cousin didn't tell him.
After Xu Ruochu was dragged along by Gu Yixiao for a distance, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gu Yixiao beside her: "Let me go!"
Gu Yixiao ignored her and continued to pull her forward.
"What are you going to do? Let me go!" Xu Ruochu shook her hands and struggled, "Why are you threatening my friend?! I still have issues with my best friend and I'm not leaving."
"I've already contacted a lawyer for your friend, and they're on their way," Gu Yixiao's tone remained firm. "Just be a good student and that's all you need to do."
“…”
Xu Ruochu was stunned by what he said.
She had never seen Gu Yixiao so arrogant and rude.
Seeing that she didn't move, Gu Yixiao turned around.
Xu Ruochu took a few steps back in fright.
Gu Yixiao stared at her straight in the eyes, his gaze was so scorching that it seemed as if he could devour her.
"If you don't leave now, you'll really be late for school." He said coldly.
