Chapter 261 Be Her Guard Dog
"Ning Anran...that's enough...stop kissing..."
"I'm a little exhausted..."
Gasping.
Gu Xia simply lay down on Ning Anran's body. In the dark night, she still had a smile on her face.
"Okay...wanna go wash up?"
With her entire upper body sunk into the soft pillow, Ning Anran regained consciousness and pulled herself away from that sultry summer.
The gods and Buddhas really heard her wish.
"Well, wait a moment."
"Ning Anran, let me tell you something."
Ning Anran bent her calves and pressed herself against Gu Xia's body to prevent her from falling down.
Gu Xia would never act like this in front of outsiders.
Ning Anran had only heard this kind of soft tone of voice when Gu Xia was pestering Gu Lindong before.
"What's up?"
After putting the suspenders that had fallen off Gu Xia back on, Ning Anran didn't want to let go at this time and continued to hug Gu Xia.
"That's right, some classmates asked me to go to the horse farm tomorrow. Do you mind?"
The incident at the horse farm actually did not have much impact on the victim himself. Gu Xia did not feel any pain. As soon as he opened his eyes, the pain on his forehead had been reduced by half.
Almost healed.
But she knew that Ning Anran was very concerned about this matter. The owner of the horse farm had invited Ning Anran many times before, intentionally or unintentionally, to watch equestrian competitions, but Ning Anran refused on the grounds of being busy with work.
Why Ning Anran resists everything related to the horse farm is no secret in Qingshui City.
It’s just that the owner of the horse farm really doesn’t want to lose Ning Anran as a sponsor, so he has the nerve to send invitations every now and then.
Ning Anran did not give a warning because the owner of the horse farm had a good relationship with Gu Xia.
Only after knowing the ins and outs of this matter did Gu Xia want to untie the knot in Ning Anran's heart.
If Ning Anran is still resentful about the horse farm, then it means that she is still afraid that she will withdraw at any time.
Gu Xia didn't expect Ning Anran to get better in an instant. That was impossible.
However, Gu Xia wanted Ning Anran to know that even if she returned to the horse farm again, she would not abandon Ning Anran like last time.
——
My heart started beating rapidly.
Blood is flowing.
Ning Anran frowned for a rare moment, and she clasped her fingers tightly around Gu Xia, not letting him leave.
"Can you refuse? Xia Xia."
"It's so painful for you there, you don't have to go there."
"Why should you worry about what they think?"
Ning Anran was panicked for a moment.
Now she is still feeling the deep pain of being abandoned and cannot think about it too much, but more than herself, Ning Anran is more afraid of seeing Gu Xia covered in blood again.
"I'm fine now, Anran."
"I'm fine."
"If you mind, I won't go."
"I'll call and decline tomorrow morning."
A wet kiss fell on the forehead.
What Gu Xia said was like coaxing a child.
Eyes slightly closed.
Ning Anran gradually loosened her clenched fingers. She thought of Gu Xia who had climbed onto the horse in front of her.
Bright and sunny, pulling at the reins.
He stroked the white horse's mane and smiled to himself with raised eyebrows.
"Do you want to come up and try it?"
"Ning Anran."
"It's very docile and won't kick you down."
The thought of refusing faded in an instant, and Ning Anran thought of Gu Xia's pale face lying on the hospital bed.
No one could wake her up.
Even Gu Lindong, who was always calm and expressionless, became flustered.
"Well, I'll send someone to apologize in person tomorrow. Xia Xia, you don't have to feel guilty."
…
I couldn't sleep well at night.
Ning Anran was really afraid that the incident at the horse farm would happen again. She didn't know if she could bear it again.
Worry about gains and losses.
She kept looking at Gu Xia's sleeping face, put her arms around her and wrapped them around her waist. Even though her arms would feel uncomfortable and numb, Ning Anran didn't want to let go.
It was almost dawn when Ning Anran fell into a deep sleep exhausted.
When he opened his eyes again, Ning Anran subconsciously groped around him with his fingers. When he touched the cold bedding, he suddenly woke up.
The numbness in his arms had not yet subsided, Ning Anran's chest was heaving, and he looked up at the window again.
A reassuringly familiar figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the curtains were ajar, and Gu Xia was looking at the sunlight outside the window while talking on the phone.
"Sorry, I can't go today. Have fun, everyone."
"Well, it's my treat."
"Okay, okay, let's go diving together next time."
With her sleep-wrinkled hair in her hand, Gu Xia's voice was still a little lazy. The other party did not try to persuade her to stay, as if he had known that Gu Xia would reject his invitation.
"Nothing to say, I'll hang up."
Gu Xia took the phone away from his ear and was about to hang up when he heard a voice from the other end of the phone.
"Xia, tell me honestly, is the reason you didn't come over because of that person in your family?"
"After you started dating, we wanted to date you, but that was harder than climbing to the sky."
Several people were sitting together, enjoying breakfast. They all nodded, agreeing with what the phone owner said.
"Why do you care so much?"
"I tell you, I didn't come because I didn't want to come. It has nothing to do with her."
"If you keep talking nonsense, you'll have to pay for it yourself."
Only a devil would believe what Gu Xia said. If she was the kind of person who would be afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake, she would never have learned to ride a horse in the first place.
Listening to Gu Xia's voice, Ning Anran supported herself on the bed with her hands, wearing slippers.
She walked slowly behind Gu Xia and quickly grabbed the phone that Gu Xia was talking on.
The voice is a little hoarse.
"We will go."
The world suddenly became silent.
Gu Xia was even more stunned.
It was Ning Anran who clearly told him not to go last night, so how come he changed his tone after waking up?
Gu Xia stood on tiptoe, placed the back of her hand on Ning Anran's forehead, and said with emotion: "Ning Anran, did you have a fever last night?"
The cold fingers made Ning Anran feel much clearer. She wrapped her palm around Gu Xia's cold hand, brought her fingers down from her forehead, placed them on her cheek, and used her body temperature to warm her hand.
"I'll go with you, Xia Xia."
"You'll be fine as long as I'm here."
There were dark circles under Ning Anran's eyes, a result of not sleeping well last night. She thought about it all night and still felt that she should face the responsibility for not being able to protect Gu Xia.
If God really gave her another chance to start over, she would always be the knight by her side.
Be her guard dog.
A Midsummer Night's Dream haunts Ning Anran.
It shouldn't be Xia Xia's fault that she fell off the horse, but she ran away in anger.
It's my own fault.
Xia Xia was giving herself a chance to make amends, how could she do something as outrageous as "refusing"?
No, not allowed.
