Chapter 145: Say It Out
"Second brother said that you helped the residents of G County rebuild their homes. Can you take me to see Ilker?" Gu Muran felt a little embarrassed when she saw that he didn't speak. In addition, she was a little nervous at the moment, so she spoke first.
"Have you recovered? That's all you want to tell me." Li Qi Han saw that Gu Muruan's hands and little face were slightly red from the wind, so he wanted to wait for her to sit here and relax.
Gu Muruan was inexplicably angry: "I said I'm not cold."
"Okay, I'm not cold. Apart from this, does Nuannuan have anything else to say to me?" Li Qihan looked at the angry little girl and wanted to tease her.
"That's all." Gu Muruan didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Li Qi Han noticed something was wrong, stood up, walked to Gu Muruan, squatted down and looked at her.
"What's wrong? Huh?"
"Nothing." Gu Munuan was a little annoyed: Why is this guy like this? I came to see him, why didn't he mention anything?
"Then, can you tell me your answer?" Li Qihan saw the little girl's awkwardness.
Gu Muruan realized that he was teasing her and her eyes turned slightly red.
Li Qihan stood up and pulled Gu Muruan up, and the two of them faced each other.
Gu Muruan lowered her head.
"Nuannuan? I was wrong just now. I know you came here to tell me your answer. I shouldn't have teased you just now. Look up and look at me, okay?" Li Qihan said in a gentle voice.
Gu Muruan looked up. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly became a little spoiled.
Li Qihan reached out and held the little girl in his arms: "Nuannuan agreed to be with me, right?"
Gu Muruan did not react, nor did she struggle to break free from this unfamiliar embrace.
After a while, Gu Muruan raised her head and said, "Li Qihan, I promise you, but I'm not sure if I can adapt quickly. Maybe I won't be what you imagined.
I don’t know what my strengths are or why you chose me. I can only be sure that I don’t hate you, so I want to give it a try and I will try my best.
After saying this, Gu Muruan felt that she was being hugged even tighter.
Li Qihan lowered his head and looked into Gu Muruan's eyes: "Nuannuan, I'm very happy that you can promise me. I like you, not just your strengths, so don't feel any pressure and don't change yourself for anyone.
Don't let my love become a burden to you. As for your feelings for me, let's slowly discover them together, okay?
Gu Muruan saw that Li Qihan's eyes were full of tenderness, as if they wanted to suck her in, and she nodded unconsciously.
After a while, Li Qihan let go of Gu Muruan and asked, "Did you come here with my parents?"
"Um."
"Come and celebrate my birthday?" Li Qihan pulled Gu Muruan to sit down.
"Yeah." After Gu Muran answered, she suddenly thought of something: From yesterday until now, she has only been thinking about organizing her words, but she hasn't used them yet and forgot to choose a birthday gift for Li Qihan.
Li Qihan looked at the person who suddenly froze: "What's wrong?"
"I forgot to choose a birthday present for you." Gu Muruan felt a little embarrassed. After all, Li Qihan had given her so many gifts, but she didn't know his birthday in advance.
"Be good, I have received the best gift." Li Qi Han put his hand on the back of Gu Muruan's head and stroked it gently.
Gu Muruan: Even though it makes me feel embarrassed to say this, I feel like he is petting a cat...
"I made a small cake for you. It's at Aunt Li's place. Your uncle and aunt went to reminisce with your superiors." Gu Muran explained the situation.
"Well, let's go find them at night." Li Qihan said.
"Would you like to go see Ilk this afternoon?"
"Is it okay?" Gu Muruan really wanted to go see him.
"Okay, I'll drive you there." Li Qihan can use his half-day vacation as he pleases.
"Okay, when are we going?" Gu Muran seemed a little impatient.
"Nuannuan, your boyfriend is right next to you, and we just met. If you rush to see other boys, I will be sad." Li Qihan wanted to stay with Gu Muruan for a while longer.
Gu Muruan: ...Are you still normal?
"This, is this your office?" Gu Muran was speechless and had to change the subject.
"Well, let's take a look." Li Qihan leaned back on the sofa.
Gu Muruan looked around. The room was of medium size, with a desk and office chair, two long sofas on this side, a coffee table in the middle, and a water dispenser against the wall.
"Are you hungry?" Li Qi Han looked at the time. It was almost noon.
My parents have been traveling by high-speed rail in the past two years. They depart at 8 a.m. and arrive at the station three hours later. Someone will be arranged to pick them up.
"Not bad." Gu Muran had been in the car all morning and didn't consume much energy.
"Let me make a call." Li Qihan stood up, walked to the desk, and dialed the captain's office number.
The person who answered the phone was Xiao Li who had already gone home, and the call was passed to Li's mother after a while.
"Son, is your birthday this year a surprise? Take Nuannuan out for a bite to eat at noon, and take her to visit G County in the afternoon. Your Uncle Han will give you half a day off, and we'll celebrate your birthday together in the evening.
We booked a hotel tonight and will leave early tomorrow morning. Nuannuan has to be on duty on the last day of her vacation, so we want to let her have a good rest when we get back.
So this afternoon, spend some quality time with Nuan Nuan, okay? Luo Xinran instructed Li Qihan seriously.
"Okay, see you tonight." Li Qi Han probably guessed that Gu Muruan would come this time. It was something his mother had thought of a long time ago.
The last time he and Gu Muruan confessed their feelings, he spoke to his mother before returning to the military region.
His mother asked him if he had made any progress, and he did not hide anything, so Li's mother also accelerated his love process.
After hanging up the phone, Li Qi Han asked Gu Muruan.
"Nuannuan, let's eat first. Do you want to eat here or drive out?"
"How can we eat here?" If he asked her to go to the cafeteria with him, Gu Muruan would definitely refuse without hesitation.
"I'll go to the restaurant to get the food back and we'll eat in the office." Li Qihan certainly wouldn't let the girl he just pursued become the focus of others' attention.
"Okay." Gu Muran thought this method was good. She didn't have to meet many people, nor did she have to go out to find food.
