Chapter 183 Xia Xia, do you still remember me?
Patting Ning Anran's back gently, a trace of heartache flashed in Gu Xia's eyes.
She felt that the question she had asked rashly just now was too serious and difficult for Ning Anran to bear.
"Host, you still can't be too careless. Although the heroine is indeed very obsessed with you, the remaining favorability value is still an unsolved mystery!"
"I know, but Ning Anran's mental state is more important right now. As for the rest, I can slowly investigate and dig out what's really going on in her mind. But I can't force her heart open now. It would cause her a lot of pain."
Love, after all, takes over everything.
Gu Xia didn’t know whether what she did was due to being in love, but she really didn’t want to rub salt into Ning Anran’s wounds.
Even if the system urged him, Gu Xia was unwilling to do so.
"Senior Gu, come over and have a drink with me!"
"We've got the barbecue ready!"
The junior student in the distance opened his hands and shouted in Gu Xia's direction. The bustling sound once again flooded into his ears, and Gu Xia took a deep breath.
Only then did she remember the original intention of bringing Ning Anran here. Wasn't it to let Ning Anran meet her friends?
Now the relationship between the two of them is a bit reversed.
So, Gu Xia was more cautious this time. He picked up his phone and smiled at the student: "Okay, we'll be there later."
Leaving the camping chair, Gu Xia stretched out his fair palm towards Ning Anran, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and a rare smile appeared between his brows.
"Let's go together."
"safely."
"Anran" - these two words made Ning Anran's heart warm. She stood up, and the coat she was wearing was blown away by the wind. Ning Anran took the initiative to hold Gu Xia's palm tightly.
Ning Anran once read in a book that if you loosen your tightly clenched hands, you can never go back to the way you were before.
This was the situation she least wanted to encounter. Sometimes when Ning Anran fell asleep, the scene in her mind was the day when Gu Xia abandoned her at the horse farm.
Heart-wrenching, numb, throat blocked, unable to move.
It was like being in the suffocating hell, and Ning Anran didn't want to go back to that day.
She wanted to follow Gu Xia forever, even if she was a ghost, even if she was her shadow in the sun, Ning Anran wanted to follow Gu Xia forever.
"Okay, let's go."
"See if there's anything you like to eat?"
"If you don't have any, how about I bake it for you?"
Ning Anran returned to normal in an instant and was still the same as before. She took a few steps forward, protecting Gu Xia behind her to block the noisy sea breeze.
………
Under the tree.
A Volkswagen was parked on the side of the road.
"It's really good. The eldest lady is still in contact with Gu's second daughter. It seems that she likes her very much."
The man in plain clothes turned on his Bluetooth headset and reported to the other side.
"I've said it before, what kind of ability does that woman have? She's only been able to act so arrogantly and domineeringly because Ning Yunshen and Wen Wanbai feel guilty about her."
"For that loser from the Gu family, you're so cruel to your own people. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"Keep following me. I want to see if she can really defend herself against my tactics."
The man held a cigarette and looked at the suit with a hole burned in it hanging on the hanger. His fingers couldn't help but use more force, causing wrinkles on the cigarette.
"Old Master is really something. He just gave away such a great place like the Liujinhua Residence."
"He's not afraid that no one will collect his body after a hundred years!"
After hearing his boss's instructions, the man turned the steering wheel and drove the car forward for a while.
Then adjusted to a more hidden angle.
"Yes, I will definitely follow."
"If there is any situation, I will report it to you immediately."
After the call was disconnected, the man's eyes remained fixed on the seashore. He raised the telescope around his neck and continued to watch Ning Anran's every move.
Gu Xia and Ning Anran were soon surrounded by a group of students from the Academy of Fine Arts, who chatted and led them to the dining table.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Yingying also brought over a plate of large squid and placed it on the table.
She also took a can of iced drink and pushed it over. Yu Yingying smiled narcissistically and played with her long hair in a cool way.
She threw a coquettish glance at Gu Xia.
"How about it, Xia Xia, your best friend is still good to you!"
"Fei Fei worked so hard to bake this just now, and I can't bear to eat it yet."
"It's for you."
This time, Gu Xia did not continue to tease the vague "wrongness" between Yu Yingying and Gao Fei.
The main reason was that there were too many people, and Gu Xia had no interest in telling others about her best friend.
She took the iced drink.
Ning Anran took the lead, put his finger on the pull ring of the can, and opened the can with one hand.
"Xia Xia, let me help you."
After saying that, she looked down and took out a pack of wet wipes from her pocket. She took out the wet wipes and carefully wiped the can clean.
Then, Ning Anran took out the toilet paper on the table and wiped it again.
"Okay, you can drink now."
After wiping the can clean, Ning Anran felt relieved and pushed the can over again.
Everyone: “…”
That’s awesome!
Senior Ning, this is simply outrageously meticulous!
Amidst everyone's envious gazes, Gu Xia looked at the clean cans and felt mixed emotions.
Before she could finish her drink, a girl with medium-short hair sat down next to her.
"Xia Xia, do you still remember me?"
"We played together in high school."
The man's face looked unfamiliar, yet somewhat familiar. Gu Xia couldn't remember it for a moment, but it was indeed too disrespectful to say in front of so many people that he didn't know his high school classmate.
So, Gu Xia started to fool people.
The corners of her lips curled up, revealing a smile that couldn't be more businesslike, and she replied politely, "Ah, indeed."
"You're here today too? Were you called here by a friend?"
The girl with medium-short hair moved her chair closer, resting her hand on her chin. She looked at Gu Xia with her blue eyes with cosmetic contact lenses, smiling sweetly.
"I saw someone on WeChat Moments saying that Xia Xia was playing here today, so I took a taxi here."
"Long time no see. I just flew back from abroad last week. I wanted to invite you to dinner, but you are really a busy person."
"You only reply with a few emojis when I message you!"
Ning Anran's eyes fell on the woman, and she recognized who she was at a glance.
It was the person I saw on WeChat Moments last time.
"Well, I've been a bit busy lately. I really didn't mean it. You know our school is about to have a holiday..."
Gu Xia was lying, but his mind was still searching for who this person was.
Before she knew it, the long hair hanging in front of her chest was pushed behind her by Ning Anran who approached quietly.
Ning Anran's red lips pressed against Gu Xia's earlobe, and she whispered softly.
"Xia Xia, are you still cold?"
"Want me to get you some clothes from the car?"
The woman with short hair who was originally planning to respond was choked by Ning Anran's words and was forced to give up the topic.
Continue the conversation following Ning Anran’s words.
"Yeah, it's windy here at the beach in summer. Are you cold?"
"Xia Xia, you used to be the most afraid of the cold."
