Chapter 29: Same story as the previous life! Just different time
Xu Ruochu's heart was beating wildly and she dared not move. She subconsciously lowered her eyelids and felt Gu Yixiao's body temperature.
He didn't seem to have drunk any alcohol, because she didn't smell any alcohol, only the man's scent, which clearly reached her nostrils and into her heart.
"you……"
She tried to struggle out of his embrace, but he held her firmly against his chest.
Hearing the man's low voice ringing in her ears, it sounded like the most ambiguous whispers between lovers.
"Don't move."
These two words carried a bewitching power that made her lean limply against his arms, feeling her breathing quicken and her heartbeat quicken.
"Xu Ruchu, listen carefully. Just give me some time, okay?" he whispered in her ear.
"Ah? What do you mean..."
Her heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.
He didn't say anything, just rested his chin on her forehead and closed his eyes.
Xu Ruochu: “…”
She didn't understand what he meant.
But his gentle embrace made her feel instantly at ease. She almost forgot what happened in her previous life and just wanted to nestle quietly in his arms.
However, this feeling only lasted for a minute before she woke up.
"Brother, let me go," she pushed him, her small hands clutching the clothes on his chest helplessly, "I want to go back."
“…”
The man didn't move.
"Let go..."
Her face turned red, and she couldn't help but raise her voice a little: "Cousin!"
Gu Yixiao opened his eyes, his dark and deep pupils stared at her, and his thin lips slightly parted.
"Did you hear what I said?"
"...I heard it," Xu Ruochu said helplessly.
He was too strong for her to break free, so she gave up and said, "Can I leave now?"
She doesn't want to listen to him!
She will change her mind after leaving here.
Gu Yixiao suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Go and send Huo Ran away first."
She widened her eyes, "......"
Did she hear it right?
Gu Yixiao actually wanted her to drive Huo Ran away?
"Can't you bear to part with him?" Gu Yixiao's tone suddenly became cold.
"What are you talking about? He is my good friend, please respect my friend!"
"Why isn't he your boyfriend anymore?"
“…” She opened her mouth.
Own
It seems like he tricked me?!
"What exactly do you want to do?" Xu Ruochu frowned.
"Are you blaming me?"
"No!" she said softly, biting her lower lip.
"You are my brother, the head of the Gu family, and a shareholder of Noble University. How dare I blame you, my eldest cousin?"
Gu Yixiao raised the corners of his lips, a faint smile in his eyes.
"Since there is none, let's go back."
As he said that, he took her hand and stood up to leave.
Xu Ruochu was stunned and looked at his profile in confusion, "Is it appropriate for us to go out like this?"
“…” Gu Yixiao was stunned.
Only then did he remember that although he and Lin Yuan had made things clear in private, the news of the cancellation of the marriage had not been made public.
When Xu Ruochu saw his hesitant expression, she thought he was trying to make fun of her, so she quickly pulled her hand back, turned around and left.
"Hey! Xu Ruochu!"
Gu Yixiao hurriedly followed, grabbed her wrist again, and walked out of the private room.
He walked steadily and at an even pace, as if he didn't care at all.
After Xu Ruochu said goodbye to Huo Ran, she didn't dare to look up the whole way. Her heart beat faster and faster, and she felt her face was terribly hot.
They got into the car in silence.
After returning home, Xu Ruochu washed up, went to bed, and fell asleep quickly.
Tonight was the only night she didn't suffer from insomnia, and she fell asleep very quickly.
She didn't know whether it was because she vented her unhappiness through singing, or because the man treated her so gently, but she slept exceptionally soundly that night.
The next morning, she made breakfast, ate, and went to school as usual.
She thought she could get to the classroom quietly early today to preview the new course, but she met someone she didn't want to see at the school gate.
Lin Yuan!
Lin Yuan was wearing a black and white plaid long skirt, with her long curly hair casually draped over her shoulders, and she looked charming.
Her appearance made Xu Ruochu depressed instantly.
"Sister Ruchu, can I treat you to a meal after school?" Lin Yuan said with a polite smile.
"Sorry, Sister Lin Yuan, I'm busy."
Xu Ruochu also refused with a smile.
She couldn't talk much to this woman, especially since she had inexplicably jumped off a building in her previous life, causing her to inexplicably become the murderer.
"I have something important to talk to you about..." Lin Yuan was unwilling.
Xu Ruochu still refused. "Sorry, Sister Lin Yuan, I really don't have time."
"About your eldest cousin." Lin Yuan still maintained his usual gentle demeanor, "I know you two have been in contact quite frequently recently, even more than siblings..."
Xu Ruochu was stunned.
The same words as in the previous life! The only difference was the timing. It was the day after the engagement that the other party took the initiative to find her to talk about Gu Yixiao.
After hearing about the man's reputation, she agreed to go. But for some reason, there were always small accidents that day -
Either he was hit by a vase; then he was scalded by a waiter who brought him boiling water; then he was pushed down and fell by a passerby... In the end, even Lin Yuan was implicated, and his ankle was scratched by a glass, and he suffered a lot.
The glass was the one he was drinking from, and someone knocked it over and dropped it on the ground. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been the one injured...
All in all, everything goes wrong.
Now that I think about it, maybe all these misfortunes were caused by this woman.
Her face suddenly darkened, she looked up at Lin Yuan and sighed.
"Sister, you are too sensitive. We are innocent!"
"Don't mind, sister. I don't mean to blame you. I just want to chat with you about daily life."
"I usually have a lot of study to do, so there's nothing much to talk about. I'll go in to see Sister Lin Yuan first."
Xu Ruochu finished speaking hurriedly, ignored her, and turned to walk towards the teaching building.
"Sister Ruochu!"
Lin Yuan called her.
Xu Ruochu stopped, but did not turn around or speak.
Lin Yuan walked up to her side, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "If I'm not mistaken, you should like Xiao."
Xu Ruochu: “…”
"Ah Xiao has always been the object of girls' admiration, not just you. I won't blame you, this just proves how good he is.
So I hope you won’t have any resistance to me, and we can live in peace with each other, like real sisters, so that Xiao won’t have any worries, okay?
I know he values family the most! And I heard you moved out on your own, so when you have time, let's get together..."
Her long speech finally made Xu Ruchu turn around and look at her.
