Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Is there someone you like?

Something happened in the studio, and Ruan Zhao and Xiao Zhen were not available for the past few days. He Suyun found the story he had recorded before and called Ruan Zhao in the evening to ask if the students in their charity group wanted to buy some fruit to watch Gu Huaiyan, the hero who kicked the gangster away, and if it would be convenient.

"Your brother is so good to you." He Suyun was worried on the other end of the phone, "What if it was him? If you and Xiaozhen got hurt, I wouldn't know what to do..."

It was late, Ruan Zhao estimated that Gu Huaiyan should be asleep, so he didn't want to knock on the door and disturb him. But He Suyun and the others wanted to be grateful to Gu Huaiyan. As a middleman, he couldn't make a decision for Gu Huaiyan, so he said, "He's asleep. I'll tell him tomorrow and ask him if it's convenient."

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Zhao took his clothes and went to take a shower.

The bathroom was filled with steam. Ruan Zhao looked in the mirror at his back. His thin back was flawless. If it weren't for Gu Huaiyan, it was here that he was bleeding. Ruan Zhao sighed. He had agreed to pick him up from get off work at nine o'clock, but he didn't know why Gu Huaiyan suddenly showed up at eight o'clock.

Worried about Gu Huaiyan's injury, Ruan Zhao got up very early the next day. But just as he came out of his room, the door of the next room was also opened.

The curtains in Gu Huaiyan's room were closed, and only a small light was on in the dimness. Ruan Zhao saw that the bottom of his eyes were obviously blue, and his eyes, which should have been tired, were staring at him straight, like an eagle looking at its prey, which made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"You, you want me? To help you go to the bathroom?" Ruan Zhao subconsciously grabbed the door handle behind him.

The next moment, Gu Huaiyan regained his usual expression, as if it was just Ruan Zhao's illusion.

"Me? I can do it myself." Gu Huaiyan was wearing loose-fitting home clothes. He had a slender figure and looked elegant even though he looked tired.

Ruan Zhao secretly stuck out his tongue behind his back. He should be looking at it. No, Gu Huaiyan must have been injured last night. It's normal to have a little grumpiness after waking up.

Thinking about it, he felt particularly indebted to Gu Huaiyan and wanted to make up for it in various ways: "I? Go and see? Is breakfast ready?" Then he walked downstairs quickly.

Downstairs, bells were ringing. Did Uncle Wang buy Diandian a collar online? Diandian opened the box and played with the bell on the collar, completely ignoring the two adoptive fathers who were preoccupied with their own thoughts.

"Huai Yan, do you want some porridge?" Ruan Zhao arrived at the restaurant first and had already set the table for Gu Huai Yan. When he saw Gu Huai Yan coming over, he quickly served him a bowl of porridge.

The porridge was ready, and he asked if anyone else wanted some. Yes, Gu Huaiyan pulled out a chair and sat down, saying "OK".

Today, both of them were having breakfast at home. Uncle Wang prepared a wide variety of breakfast. Ruan Zhao stared at the breakfast on the table, unable to move his eyes away from the scallion oil noodles.

"What's wrong?" Gu Huaiyan asked.

Ruan Zhao smiled and said, "I want to eat noodles, but I can't finish one portion." As he said that, he already had a bun in his hand, and one bun was just enough for him.

"You eat first, will you? Give me the rest." Gu Huaiyan placed the plate of scallion noodles in front of Ruan Zhao.

Although Ruan Zhao didn't have much knowledge, he still had some basic manners. He wasn't a child, so how could he give his leftovers to others? He subconsciously wanted to refuse. But then he thought again, Gu Huaiyan had lived a rich life since he was a child, and there was no way he was willing to eat leftovers. Gu Huaiyan said this, probably because he wanted to eat scallion oil noodles.

It must be because he had just served Gu Huaiyan such a big bowl of porridge, so Gu Huaiyan, who was originally planning to eat scallion oil noodles, was too embarrassed to say anything.

"Me? Just like you, I also want to? Try it." Gu Huaiyan suddenly explained his previous sentence.

Ruan Zhao nodded after hearing this, and became more certain of his inner thoughts.

"What about me? Go ask Uncle Wang for a bowl." One portion of noodles was just enough for two people to share.

"No? No need to take it." Gu Huaiyan stopped him before he got up. "Uncle Wang got up very early. It's easy for him to take a break now. Don't bother him. Besides, if you use one more bowl, Auntie will have to wash one more."

Ruan Zhao frowned in confusion. How did he remember that there was a dishwasher in the kitchen?

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Gu Huaiyan's personality seemed to have become much gentler after he was injured. For example, he had begun to care about whether Wang Bo was tired.

"Well, I'll divide the noodles and try not to touch yours." Ruan Zhao chose to take Gu Huaiyan's feelings into consideration and used a pair of clean chopsticks to separate the noodles, putting more on Gu Huaiyan's side and less on his. There was a gap between the two piles of noodles, so that they would not touch each other's noodles at all.

After dividing the noodles, he changed to his own chopsticks and ate the noodles on his side very carefully.

The scallion oil noodles are filled with fried scallions, which taste especially good when eaten along with the chewy noodles.

After eating two bites, Ruan Zhao found that Gu Huaiyan was staring at him without moving. His eyes were deep, as if he was protecting his food. Ruan Zhao stopped eating subconsciously.

Did Gu Huaiyan think that the noodles he got were too little?

On a plate, the two piles of noodles seemed to be separated by a river between Chu and Han. When Gu Huaiyan heard what Ruan Zhao was thinking, his expression froze: "Zhao Zhao, how was your life abroad before?"

Ruan Zhao shook his head with noodles in his mouth. What do you mean?

In fact, you don't need to ask to know. How is it? Gu Huaiyan felt a little bit uncomfortable when he thought of Ruan Zhao living alone abroad. Although he knew Ruan Zhao's past life very well, for the sake of safety, he still asked: "Have you always been alone? Do you have someone you like?"

Ruan Zhao almost choked on a mouthful of noodles.

How could he possibly have someone he likes abroad!

Ruan Zhao quickly shook his head in denial, then looked at Gu Huaiyan with a slightly strange look. Did Gu Huaiyan not only start to worry about Wang Bo after he was injured, but also start to worry about his own □□?

Now if you ask him if he has someone he likes, then the next question is whether he likes him or not. If he does, then you should ask if he likes him or not?

See? Come on, they're going to have sex tonight!

It's a pity that Gu Huaiyan has some health problems, which will definitely affect their first experience. Well, it seems that he can only work harder and make up for it in other ways.

Ruan Zhao thought that his life was about to take a big step forward, and a blush appeared on his face. He was afraid that Gu Huaiyan would misunderstand that he had a love history, so he quickly said, "I'm alone, and I don't have anyone I like."

However, Gu Huaiyan didn't seem to be happy. He held his forehead with one hand, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness between his brows.

Don't you believe it? Ruan Zhao couldn't help but worry again.

Soon, Gu Huaiyan asked him the next question.

"I was told that I had an engagement when I returned to China. Did you find it very sudden?"

Is it sudden? Ruan Zhao doesn't understand Gu Huaiyan's words. Isn't it normal to have a fiancé? He initially thought that he could have at least two!

Before Ruan Zhao could say anything, Gu Huaiyan already frowned. How could a little chicken be so capable? Wanting two fiancés, how could he be so busy!

Since last night, Gu Huaiyan had a puzzle in his heart. It took him so many days to realize that he liked someone, but why did Ruan Zhao show that he liked him as soon as he saw him?

Since you like it, why divide the noodles so much? Clearly, he doesn't mind, but Ruan Zhao does.

Looking at Gu Huaiyan's expression, Ruan Zhao couldn't help wondering, is he so sensitive? Or is he more fragile after being hurt?

"No? Suddenly, I?m looking forward to our engagement." Ruan Zhao gave Gu Huaiyan enough sense of security, "Ever since mom told me about this, I?ve started looking forward to meeting you."

"What did Auntie say?" Gu Huaiyan asked.

"Mom told me that I had a potential child marriage." In order to make Gu Huaiyan less sensitive and vulnerable, Ruan Zhao told him everything that happened on the day he returned home. "When I just got home, my mother told me that I had a potential child marriage and asked me if I was willing. I was looking forward to this relationship. I said I was willing, and then my mother showed me your photo. I was very happy because you are more handsome than I imagined."

Ruan Zhao's face slowly turned red as he spoke. He lowered his head shyly. After a moment, he found that Gu Huaiyan was silent. Just when he thought he had said something wrong, he saw Gu Huaiyan nodded.

Seeing that Gu Huaiyan responded to him, Ruan Zhao's anxious heart finally settled down. It seemed that he was comforted by his words.

But when he ate his half of the scallion noodles with oil at ease, Gu Huaiyan's expression immediately turned cold, and even his eyes became dim.

So that's how it was. Because of the experience in the orphanage, she was looking forward to a stable marriage relationship. As for who she would marry and how many fiancés she had, Ruan Zhao didn't care.

Gu Huaiyan had to go to the hospital to change the dressing today. After breakfast, Ruan Zhao started to help Gu Huaiyan pack his things.

"Medical records, coat, water cup..." Ruan Zhao was busy counting the things in his arms, "Anything else you need to bring?"

"No more." Gu Huaiyan put on his coat and took the heaviest cup of water from his arms. "No, I'll just change the medicine and come back. No, there's no need to be so nervous."

"I'm afraid you need it." Ruan Zhao smiled embarrassedly, and suddenly remembered what He Suyun said on the phone last night, "By the way, Suyun and the others want to come and see you. Let me ask you if it's convenient. I'm afraid they will disturb your rest. Can I refuse them for you?"

"Hmm..." Gu Huaiyan was about to say yes, but suddenly changed his mind? He said, "It's convenient."

Ruan Zhao was surprised. He thought Gu Huaiyan would have time to meet He Suyun and the others.

"What's that expression?" Gu Huaiyan put one hand on the roof of the car to prevent Ruan Zhao from hitting his head when getting in the car. "I don't need them to come all the way to see me. I need to deal with the studio where you work. When the time comes, you can invite your friends to have dinner together. It will be convenient for us to communicate face to face."

What Gu Huaiyan said was reasonable and well-founded. Ruan Zhao felt ashamed after hearing it. He was overthinking it. Fortunately, he didn't help Gu Huaiyan to refuse. Halfway through the journey, Ruan Zhao suddenly reacted and asked Gu Huaiyan: "What do you mean by you want to deal with the studio?"

Gu Huaiyan sat beside him, looking down at the financial report on his phone without raising his head: "It's too dangerous for you to work outside. I don't worry."

Ruan Zhao felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing this. He glanced at Gu Huaiyan secretly, but saw that he looked calm and composed, so he did not pursue the matter any further.

He recalled what happened that night and felt a little scared. To be honest, he and Xiao Zhen were almost traumatized by the office building. If Gu Huaiyan could help to deal with it, that would be the best.

"Thank you, Huai Yan." Ruan Zhao said sincerely.

Gu Huaiyan raised his eyes and glanced at him, then said casually, "Why are you being so polite to me?"

Ruan Zhao put his hands on his knees and rubbed them shamelessly. Deep inside, he felt like bubbles were coming out of his chest. He couldn't tell what he was feeling, but he couldn't help laughing.

Gu Huaiyan, who was sitting next to him, took in Ruan Zhao's expression. His fingers holding the phone slowly stroked the side of the phone, like a wild animal licking its claws before hunting.
