Chapter 77 Extra 04
By the time Ji Ruan's hair had fully recovered, it was already the next semester.
As a brand new sophomore, Ji Ruan completely lost the freedom to live on campus. He was picked up and dropped off to school by Gu Xiuyi every day, and was given a love backpack filled with water bottles, wet wipes and candies.
Ji Ruan often had the illusion that Gu Xiuyi was not his lover but his parent, and that he was not attending university but kindergarten.
In order to spend a good National Day holiday with Ji Ruan, Gu Xiuyi worked overtime to complete his work and asked the driver to pick up Ji Ruan and take him home that day.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Gu Xiuyi got home. He greeted Aunt Zhao, took off his suit jacket, washed his hands, and went upstairs to find Ji Ruan.
The ceiling light in Ji Ruan's room was on, and the door was not closed tightly, so soft warm light sprinkled through the gap.
Gu Xiuyi pushed open the door and saw Ji Ruan sitting cross-legged on the bed. There was a small plate of cherries on a glass plate on the small table in front of him, and he put them into his mouth one by one.
He seemed a little distracted. The TV on the wall was on but there was no sound. His eyes were staring at the jumping advertisement screen. Even the movement of eating cherries was mechanical and without emotion.
"Ji Ruan?" Gu Xiuyi walked over and sat beside the bed, touching Ji Ruan's ear. He saw that she was wearing an external device. "What are you thinking about so absentmindedly?"
Ji Ruan looked listless. He leaned over to lie in Gu Xiuyi's arms without saying a word.
Gu Xiuyi put his arm around his waist, and took him to sit on his lap, and asked tentatively: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or did something happen to you?"
Ji Ruan rested his head in Gu Xiuyi's arms, and as he tilted his face upward, the ends of his hair fell slightly backwards. His hair was well maintained, flexible and shiny black, and just long enough to cover the tips of his ears, making him look soft and well-behaved.
"Did you drive back by yourself today?" He didn't look at Xiuyi, but traced the edge of the other's shirt collar with his fingers.
Gu Xiuyi grabbed Ji Ruan's hand, felt that his body temperature was normal, and kissed his fingertips: "Well, how did you guess?"
"I'm not guessing," Ji Ruan shook his head: "I saw it on the balcony when I was waiting for you to come back."
Ji Ruan is waiting for him to come back?
Ji Ruan missed him? !
Gu Xiuyi was excited.
Almost instantly, I imagined Ji Ruan lying on the balcony with his eyes wide open, looking at the yard below. His small figure was so cute that I almost covered my chest with my hands.
"I'm sorry, baby. I will come back earlier next time." He bent down and kissed Ji Ruan's cheek.
"Wait," Ji Ruan blocked his mouth, "Let's talk business first."
“…”
Gu Xiuyi was interrupted in the middle of kissing, his Adam's apple rolled twice. He took a deep breath, slowly separated his kiss and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You said..." Ji Ruan started, then sighed: "What do you think about me getting a driver's license?"
He looked at Gu Xiuyi anxiously.
Gu Xiuyi looked back at him with confusion.
Although getting a driver's license is a normal thing for anyone, based on his understanding of Ji Ruan, Ji Ruan is not like other boys who are fanatical about various sports cars. On the contrary, he has no interest in cars at all.
Rather than driving hard, he prefers to curl up in the back seat and sleep all the way.
What made him suddenly change his mind?
Gu Xiuyi frowned and carefully tried to figure out Ji Ruan's intention: "Why do you suddenly want to learn how to drive?"
Is he unhappy because he didn't pick him up today? Or does he not want to be picked up anymore and want to be self-reliant?
Gu Xiuyi's heart tightened and he felt a little complicated for a moment. He hoped that Ji Ruan could get better and better and live the life he wanted.
But he had to admit that there was a despicable side in his heart. He hoped that Ji Ruan would rely on him for the rest of his life and be a pampered baby in his arms forever.
Besides, driving is so dangerous. What if you get bumped into something? Ji Ruan has strong blood.
"Did you know?" Ji Ruan sat up from his arms, leaning his lower back against the edge of the small table: "I'm the only one in our dormitory who doesn't have a driver's license!"
His eyes were wide open and his tone was extremely serious, as if he was talking about something very important.
Gu Xiuyi was stunned, but he felt relieved.
Young people's thoughts are always simple. Ji Ruan never thinks as much as Gu Xiuyi. When he wants to get a driver's license, he just thinks that his classmates have it but he doesn't.
Gu Xiuyi reached out and grabbed Ji Ruan's thin waist and pulled him over. The pure cotton home clothes were pulled into wrinkles and loosely stacked around his waist.
He reached back and skillfully supported Ji Ruan's entire lower back with his palm, with the tip of his ring finger sunken into the waist.
"I'm no longer living on campus. Aside from Han Xiaolin, I've had less contact with my previous roommates."
Ji Ruan fell into Gu Xiuyi's arms, mumbling: "I just found out when we had dinner together today that they all got their driver's licenses during the summer vacation! I was still a bald man at that time..."
The more he spoke, the more he sighed: "Time really waits for no one. I thought I didn't rest for long, but when I came back, the weather had changed and they were all certified personnel."
Gu Xiuyi kissed Ji Ruan's eyelids and rubbed his earlobes. Ji Ruan was well taken care of during his rest period. His skin was translucent and white, his lips were light pink, and he exuded the fresh aura of youth.
He couldn't let go of the two taels of flesh on Ji Ruan's waist, as if he was touching some treasure, and lowered his eyes to think about the good things that were about to happen:
"We are also certified personnel, so there is no need to envy others."
Ji Ruan was a little slow to react, stunned for a moment, and then her earlobe turned red, and she poked Gu Xiuyi's chest fiercely: "They are different, how can the marriage certificates be the same!"
This person is really bad!
Gu Xiuyi laughed softly and kissed Ji Ruan's puffy lips: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Go ahead and learn. Our baby can learn anything he wants."
"real?"
"Of course, it's easy to take the C2 test now."
Ji Ruan rolled his eyes: "C2... is it automatic?"
"Yes," Gu Xiuyi said, "If it goes fast, it will be over in a month or so."
"But I want to learn manual," Ji Ruan said seriously, "Don't you say that if you learn manual, you can drive both types after graduation? If you learn automatic, you can only drive automatic."
"But we don't have a manual car at home, baby."
Ji Ruan's expression was blank for a second: "Is that so?"
Gu Xiuyi nodded and continued to lobby: "Besides, it is very troublesome to shift gears manually and step on the clutch, automatic is much more convenient."
Ji Ruan's delicate eyebrows were raised, and he lowered his head to think seriously: "Hmm... Which one did you learn?"
Gu Xiuyi choked up. Of course he learned manual labor, but: "Baby, it's different. It was more than ten years ago when I took the driver's license test. Now things have changed a lot."
"That means you also do it manually," Ji Ruan said firmly, "Then I have to take C1 as well. My roommates all do it, and so do you. I have to be the same as you."
He glanced at Gu Xiuyi. The man's facial expression was as tense as usual and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He hooked Gu Xiuyi's finger, leaned forward and pecked the corner of his lips, tilted his head and blinked: "Is it not possible?"
“…”
Gu Xiuyi’s heart was about to explode.
The hands on his knees unconsciously clenched, and his back tensed: "...Okay."
Ji Ruan immediately smiled brightly: "You are so nice!"
He took a cherry and placed it on Gu Xiuyi's lips as a reward: "Ah——"
Gu Xiuyi's Adam's apple rolled and his breathing became hot. He held Ji Ruan's wrist and said, "This one is not sweet. Change it."
"How do you know if you haven't tried it yet?" Ji Ruan said carefully, "This dish is very sweet. I ate half of it and there wasn't a single disappointment."
Gu Xiuyi slid up Ji Ruan's wrist, picked the cherry on his fingertips into his own hand, put it back into the glass plate, lowered his head and held Ji Ruan's lip beads: "Taste this one."
·
After the National Day, Gu Xiuyi took Ji Ruan to enroll in a driving school.
In accordance with Ji Ruan's wishes, he signed up for the C1 manual transmission and received one-on-one instruction from a gold medal coach.
Relying on his excellent recitation and memory ability in the Chinese department, Ji Ruan quickly passed the first subject and excitedly started practicing for the second subject.
On the first day of practice at the venue, Gu Xiuyi left work two hours early just to come back and listen to Ji Ruan talk about his learning experience.
When he entered the room, Ji Ruan had just arrived home and was drinking water from a cup at the dining table. He had taken off his sports jacket and hung it on the back of a chair, and he was only wearing a cotton T-shirt.
It was very hot these past two days and the air conditioner was on at home, so Gu Xiuyi was not in a hurry to ask Ji Ruan to put on his coat.
Gu Xiuyi went to the kitchen sink to wash his hands, and pinched Ji Ruan's cheek with his wet fingertips: "How was your study today?"
Ji Ruan was inexplicably motivated to take the driving test. After the morning class, he had just eaten a few bites of lunch when his instructor took him to the driving range.
At this moment, his cheeks were still flushed and he was in high spirits: "Very good, the coach praised me for being smart."
Gu Xiuyi smiled and kissed him on the face, then wiped his hands and led him to the sofa.
"Who says coaches are fierce? I watched the video before and everyone said they were scolded every day, but that's not the case. Our coach is very gentle!"
Ji Ruan followed Gu Xiuyi's force and sat down on his lap, proudly boasting about his intelligence.
Gu Xiuyi couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He patted Ji Ruan's waist and asked him to sit face to face so that he could observe Ji Ruan's playful expression from a close distance.
"Then tell me what you learned?"
He originally thought that Ji Ruan would be late home because of driving practice, but he didn't expect that Ji Ruan was already there when he came back. In total, he had only practiced for about two hours.
Ji Ruan's eyebrows were curved, and the dimples on both sides of her cheeks were round and plump. She said happily: "Turn on the lights, shift gears! And step on the clutch!"
Very proud, very proud.
So for two hours in the afternoon, he just sat in the driver's seat, staring at the steering wheel, and didn't even drive one meter?
No wonder it is praised.
Because until now I have only seen the coach's gentle mask.
Gu Xiuyi was so cute that he was speechless. He had to bury his face in Ji Ruan's neck and laughed muffledly, his shoulders and spine trembling.
Ji Ruan was a little unhappy and pushed him: "What are you laughing at? I practiced exactly as the coach said. I have to be able to skillfully shift gears and turn on the lights without lowering my head. I remember it very well."
Gu Xiuyi pinched Ji Ruan's chin and bit his cheek: "I'm not laughing, you're so cute."
Ji Ruan rubbed his face and glared at him with disgust: "I know, but don't move your mouth."
There was a file bag on the sofa. It was brought back by Gu Xiuyi from the company, but Ji Ruan's name seemed to be on it.
"What is that?" Ji Ruan asked.
Gu Xiuyi reached out and took it, then handed it to Ji Ruan: "It's a very important thing, take a look at it yourself."
Ji Ruan was confused, so he opened the file bag and took out the first piece of paper. The title was their marriage agreement.
"What's the meaning?"
If Gu Xiuyi hadn't found this thing again, he would have almost forgotten about it. Now that he was suddenly reminded of the fact of the marriage agreement, Ji Ruan felt a little uncomfortable.
The recent days have been so happy that time seemed to go very slowly, so slowly that Ji Ruan almost forgot that there was an agreement between him and Gu Xiuyi, and that their marriage would automatically end after the expiration of the agreement.
All in all, there is only a little over a year left.
Ji Ruan lowered his eyelashes. He did not try to hide his emotions; happiness and disappointment were written all over his face.
Gu Xiuyi placed his hand on his lower back and said soothingly, "Keep reading."
Ji Ruan bit her lip, took out the entire document, read it line by line, and gradually realized that this was a new one, not quite the same as the previous one.
When he reached a certain place, his eyes suddenly opened wide.
"The term of the agreement is indefinite..." Ji Ruan murmured.
Gu Xiuyi changed the three years to unlimited. Does this mean he will be sentenced to life imprisonment?
Ji Ruan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glared at him in reproach, but then he felt inexplicably better.
"Keep watching." Gu Xiuyi pinched his earlobe, smiling.
Ji Ruan read on quickly according to his instructions, and unexpectedly saw that the line about the amount had also changed. After the expiration of the agreement, the expensive remuneration he received disappeared, and was replaced by the entire Gu Group.
——Gu Xiuyi turned all the properties under his name into their common property after marriage.
This is a real marriage agreement, which means that if they divorce, half of Gu's property will belong to Ji Ruan.
Gu Xiuyi had already signed his name at the end and stamped his fingerprint, and was just waiting for Ji Ruan to sign.
Ji Ruan's hands trembled, and his brain couldn't calculate how huge the amount was.
"Don't be impulsive," he stammered, "this is half of your property. I can't use it all in several lifetimes."
"No impulse." Gu Xiuyi said calmly.
"This is not a joke. What if, what if I don't like you anymore and want to take your money?" Ji Ruan asked anxiously, "Or what if you don't like me anymore and regret it?"
"That day won't come." Gu Xiuyi still smiled, but his eyes were extremely firm: "It's impossible for me not to love you, what about you, will you leave me?"
"I……"
Ji Ruan was speechless.
"Of course I wouldn't..."
Love is mutual. He really likes Gu Xiuyi. As long as Gu Xiuyi doesn't betray him and doesn't hate him, there is no reason for him to fall in love with someone else.
"That's it," Gu Xiuyi nuzzled his nose affectionately, "We are tied together for life anyway, so what difference does it make whether the property belongs to you or me? I won't have children anyway, so if anything happens to me, you will inherit all my inheritance—"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ji Ruan quickly covered his mouth: "Pah, pah, pah!"
When he saw the other person's smiling eyes, his ears started to burn again, and he said stubbornly, "I don't want to inherit anything. It's too stressful. I don't know how to run a company."
He thought about it and said affirmatively: "Yes, your family has too much burden, I don't want it."
Gu Xiuyi took Ji Ruan's hand and held him closer: "Think positively, huh? For example, let me ask you, what is your dream career?"
Ji Ruan said without hesitation: "Landlady!"
"That's right," Gu Xiuyi said, "Just imagine that you are a landlord. I am responsible for going to work and you are responsible for collecting money at home. The division of labor is clear and everyone is happy, right?"
Ji Ruan was stunned, staring at Gu Xiuyi with round eyes.
He actually thought it made a lot of sense and was very moved...
Who doesn’t want to be a landlord?
"Then, then you have to take good care of your body..." He twisted Gu Xiuyi's shirt reservedly: "I want to be a landlord for the rest of my life."
Gu Xiuyi smiled and kissed him: "Don't worry, I can still hold you no matter how old I am."
Ji Ruan leaned on his shoulder and rubbed it shyly.
Gu Xiuyi took the pen from the coffee table and said, "Sign it, baby."
Ji Ruan nodded, blushed, uncapped the pen, and wrote his own name right below Gu Xiuyi's pen. His handwriting was neat and regular, completely different from Gu Xiuyi's flamboyant handwriting.
His heart was beating fast and he was more nervous than when he got married at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Perhaps because he was just trying to complete the mission at that time, he didn't like Gu Xiuyi, and therefore didn't think marriage was a touching thing.
But now he and Gu Xiuyi have established the closest relationship, and everything about him makes people's heart beat faster for no reason.
There was also a small ink pad in the file bag. Ji Ruan pressed his red handprint on the snow-white paper. The handprint on it was Gu Xiuyi's, whose fingers were even a circle bigger than his.
Ji Ruan looked at the two fingerprints stuck together and laughed for no reason.
Then Gu Xiuyi pressed the back of her head and kissed her.
