Chapter 90: Ensnaring 21
Ling Xiao left that day without saying anything.
Gu Rong's mood also dropped.
How could it not affect him? He is also in the midst of it.
But compared to the previous two worlds, the problems in this world are mostly caused by "him". If you want to follow the character setting, you can't easily accept Ling Xiao.
Avoidant attachment personality.
It is clear that there is a strong discomfort with intimacy and dependence, and a preference for maintaining emotional and physical distance.
Gu Rong knew it from the moment he came into this body.
And from the very beginning he had a sense of déjà vu.
This distrust of emotions is very similar to his original distrust and need for emotions.
Although Gu Rong is not afraid of receiving so-called emotions, he feels that it is unnecessary.
His sense of "self" is too strong and does not need to be supplemented by the outside world. Even when encountering others, he must gain the upper hand and maintain absolute advantage and status.
This is where he gets his sense of security.
——At least that’s what he thought at first.
In the first two worlds, excluding the character setting, he never said "love".
Gu Rong admitted that he was cautious, even vigilant and careful. The two worlds, the two lifetimes of getting along, the unconcealed love and the selfless devotion, which placed him at the top of her heart, could gradually soften the high wall that had been built under Gu Rong's heart. He kept confirming and asking for things, and the other side also kept agreeing and responding.
Like a doting parent, pampering his child unconditionally.
The other party didn't even need him to collapse the wall, they just wanted to walk inside the wall.
It was under such circumstances that Gu Rong gradually became more certain that love could truly nourish new flesh and blood in a person.
That feeling is like the body is surging with vigorous vitality and is truly welcoming a new life.
Just one final push away.
But what Gu Rong didn't expect was that in this world, he would be given such a "personality".
Avoiding attachment and wanting to establish an emotional connection means that the other party needs to expend more energy and emotions to get closer. Pressure, accusations, or begging, etc., will only make people run away further, so it is really tiring to get along with someone like "him".
To some extent, he is really similar to Gu Rong.
It’s just that Gu Rong is confident and will not retreat once he is sure of something. But the “personality” imposed on him now is not like that. He is not confident and will only run away.
And this kind of "personality" that still needs to constantly confirm feelings and sense of security seems to be intentional, deliberately telling him - you can continue to confirm with me, continue to ask for it from me, continue to ask me to give more, it doesn't matter, he is also happy with it, and enjoys it all, and he only needs to confirm one thing with him.
Gu Rong curled the corners of his lips. He knew what it was, and he just had to wait.
I just don’t know what Ling Xiao will do in this situation?
He was like a big dog that fell into the water, pitiful and helpless. He had just ended his susceptible period, but was kicked mercilessly again. When he walked away, his tail drooped down.
I am so bad.
Gu Rong thought.
In this case, can the big dog still cheer up?
Bang!
Following the first sound, the sound of fireworks exploding continuously came from outside the window.
Gu Rong suddenly came back to his senses.
It’s the New Year, today is New Year’s Eve.
The city lifted its ban on fireworks this year, so it was quite lively outside.
Gu Rong could even hear people starting to come down from the building and the cheers of children. It sounded like a family was getting ready to go out together to set off fireworks.
He doesn't have to go out because he has no family.
At this time of family reunion, he did feel a little lonely, but fortunately 01 was there to accompany him.
Just as he was thinking about this, Gu Rong's cell phone rang.
He seemed to sense something and looked down, and it was indeed Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao called at this time.
Gu Rong's fingers paused for a moment, he held 01 in his arms, and answered the phone.
At first, no one spoke.
But Ling Xiao's voice could be heard on the phone.
It's as if something is overlapping.
Gu Rong moved his ears and heard the same sound of fireworks exploding.
He stood up almost immediately and walked towards the window.
Although the room was not big, the orientation of the house was good and the windows in the living room were very bright. Standing in front of the window, Gu Rong could see the fireworks rising and exploding in the night outside. They were brilliant and colorful, in clusters, lighting up the ground. Even without street lights, Gu Rong could clearly see the figure downstairs with his head raised.
However, Gu Rong's current residence is on a very high floor, so Ling Xiao probably won't be able to see him clearly. After all, he also benefits from the existence of mental power.
But Gu Rong could see that Ling Xiao still raised his head.
Looking in the direction of his window.
But Gu Rong didn't turn on the lights in the living room. He only turned on a small lamp on the coffee table.
So logically speaking, Ling Xiao should not be able to see him.
After all, that small light can only illuminate the area around the coffee table, and the floor is high.
Gu Rong blinked and reached out to press on the window.
The fireworks outside never stopped, but he could still hear Ling Xiao's breathing through the phone.
After a while, Ling Xiao finally spoke.
"Happy New Year, Gu Rong."
He came here just to wish Gu Rong a happy new year.
Don't even have to come.
He didn't say he was coming.
Last time, Gu Rong wished Ling Xiao a happy new year in advance. Ling Xiao didn't say anything, but on New Year's Eve he came downstairs to respond to him in person.
Gu Rong also rested his forehead against the glass window and whispered, "Why?"
Ling Xiao's voice paused, and then he spoke: "Happy New Year to you, is there any other reason?"
"If I have to say why, then I wish you a happy new year."
Ling Xiao whispered, "Happy New Year."
"If there's nothing else, at least we can be friends, Gu Rong."
Gu Rong pursed her lips and did not answer.
"Friends, deskmates, classmates."
Ling Xiao seemed to laugh, as if trying to lighten the mood: "Before the college entrance examination, you always seem to want to be involved with me. You can't transfer schools again."
Gu Rong was silent for a while.
It was so silent that Ling Xiao didn't say anything else.
After a few seconds, Gu Rong tilted his head to check the time before whispering, "You should go home, Ling Xiao."
Ling Xiao's slightly hurried voice suddenly rang out from the other end of the phone.
"Gu Rong, you know——"
"The sound in your phone is in sync with mine."
Gu Rong thought, of course I'm watching you too.
He moved his fingers, and his fingertips traced the figure downstairs.
"Am I causing you trouble again?"
"A little bit." Gu Rong said softly.
Ling Xiao stopped talking again.
The figure downstairs seemed to move.
Before Ling Xiao opened his mouth to apologize, he heard Gu Rong on the phone say:
"But thank you."
Ling Xiao paused suddenly.
He wanted to say something else, but he didn't know what to say.
He had thought about it that day, or he might as well listen to Gu Rong.
Otherwise, what's the point of persisting?
Gu Rong didn't need him at all. Even though he said that, the alpha's dignity was almost thrown to the ground, and he compromised, but it still didn't work.
It seemed that he could not knock on the door of Gu Rong's heart at all, as if he was always rejected.
Even Ye Jiqing and Jiang Kangcheng said that there was no need for him to continue wasting time on Gu Rong. Why bother?
It was only the 100% matching degree and pheromone disorder that brought them together. Otherwise, they would not have much intersection between them, and their relationship would not even be as good as that of ordinary classmates. After all, Gu Rong targeted him so much in the beginning. If there was no accident of pheromone disorder, Ling Xiao would probably not have changed his opinion of Gu Rong.
But when he had the opportunity to get close to Gu Rong, he could easily discover the stubbornness in Gu Rong's hard-working life beneath his difficult appearance.
Like he said, he gives everything he can and he works very hard to do it.
Ling Xiao now thinks back that when Gu Rong said those words to him for the first time in the hospital, it must have been difficult for him to keep his eyes off Gu Rong.
It was clearly a blatant exploitation, with no shame or reservation. In other places, people might look down on him, or even ridicule and mock him, but Gu Rong acted so naturally, as if there was nothing to be ashamed of. In order to survive and work hard, he could do this and did not care how others viewed him.
As long as he can live a good life, it's enough.
What he wants is actually very simple.
Perhaps the occurrence of pheromone disorder was also an accident for Gu Rong, so he was eager to get over it.
But Ling Xiao is there, always stopping him.
So when Ling Xiao thought of this, he inevitably started to make excuses to exonerate Gu Rong.
He insisted on having a result.
How could he blame Gu Rong for not responding to him?
He shouldn't have pushed Gu Rong so hard.
Obviously, Gu Rong has tried very hard to repay him as much as possible.
It's like a snail curled up in its shell. It's so small, but you still want to pull it out. But once it's out of the shell, its whole body is soft flesh and can be manipulated at will.
The more Ling Xiao thought about it, the more unbearable it became.
When I thought about the fact that Gu Rong was alone during the New Year, it came to my mind subconsciously.
This is much simpler than you think.
And the result was much better than Ling Xiao expected.
Ling Xiao thought, see, Gu Rong is actually much softer-hearted than he thought.
"Just thank you? You haven't answered the question I asked before." Ling Xiao replied in a low voice, seeming a little depressed.
Then he waited for a few seconds, and then he heard Gu Rong's voice on the phone again.
"Can we... be friends?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice again: "Why not?"
"Gu Rong, we actually get along pretty well, don't we?"
After a pause, Ling Xiao continued, "You can use the inhibitor in the future, and there won't be that kind of deal between us anymore. This won't affect anything. You can be my friend with peace of mind. We're still desk mates, and we'll see each other every day. When school starts, there will be so many exams. Don't you want to discuss your mistakes with me?"
Both of them have top grades, and although they may make mistakes, not many people discuss them.
Gu Rong didn't like to go to the teacher.
And in fact, apart from anything else, they do get along very well in their studies.
Gu Rong was quite satisfied with this.
So what Ling Xiao said really made it difficult for him to refuse.
Then a few seconds passed again - although this time it was a little longer than before, but Gu Rong still spoke:
"good......"
Ling Xiao's heart beat faster.
"Then let's be friends, Ling Xiao."
