His persistence
A year and a half later.
In an apartment in the United States.
Just after returning to the small rental house where she lived from school, before she had time to drink a sip of water, Sugao received a call from her good friend Yuanli.
The two were both in the United States, but applied to different schools because they wanted to choose different professors.
As soon as the call was connected, Yuanli's cheerful teasing came out: "Yingran went to your place again?"
Yuanli, who added Yingran as a friend, saw his circle of friends with location information.
The reason for adding "again" is because during the one and a half years they've been in the US, they've reported back almost every month, making it seem like he's also studying abroad here.
He bought the small house across from Sugano's house and planned to cling to Sugano the same way he did in Sanya, pretending to be good and pitiful in order to win her heart. However, Sugano, who had suffered a loss before, showed a very hard heart and was completely indifferent to Yingran's pity and grievance.
However, he did not refuse Ying Ran's approach.
Yuanli jokingly called this situation "a conflict between young lovers."
However, this "contradiction" lasted for more than a year.
"Yeah." Thinking of Yingran, this troublesome guy, Sugao could only sigh.
"He's a big star, how come he has so much free time?" Yuanli asked this question from the bottom of his heart.
"I want to know too." Sugano, whose frown was so tight that it could almost kill a mosquito, also couldn't understand why this person with such a busy schedule could cross the country to report to her from time to time.
"Have you come to see me?"
"He's on his way. He just sent me a message."
"Hehehe," Yuan Li laughed twice deliberately as if teasingly, then said, "Then I won't disturb your love."
Even though Yuanli couldn't see it, Jianguo subconsciously rolled his eyes when he heard this joke: "What's the point of being so affectionate? We're not together anyway."
Yuan Li immediately sensed a hint of regret in this sentence, and immediately teased: "Oh, oh, oh, are you looking down on someone for not being able to do things?"
Yingran was also quite interesting. He had been trying hard to cling to Sugano for years, but he had never formally asked, "Sugano, can you be my girlfriend?" Yuanli felt that Sugano was a girl, and even if her defenses were gradually overcome, she would never take the initiative to say, "Yingran, let's be together?" The two of them continued to flirt with each other.
"But I think this opportunity is almost here."
Unexpectedly, Yuanli was right.
Not long after Jianguo hung up the phone with Yuanli, Yingran arrived.
Brought dinner too.
During the quiet meal, Ying Ran suddenly said, "I plan to come here to study acting for a year."
Suga seemed to suspect he had misheard. He paused for a moment, then revealed a puzzled look. He unconsciously raised his voice and asked, "Why? You're at the peak of your career, and you suddenly leave for a year to study. When you return after completing your studies, you don't know what the domestic entertainment market will be like?"
Over the past year and a half, despite frequent visits to her, he hasn't neglected his career. Not only has he firmly established himself as a top star, but he's also made significant progress in film and television. Today, he's a multi-talented artist known by his fans as an "all-rounder," with a diverse career spanning music, film, and variety shows.
If he left to study at this point, he would inevitably lose his visibility. In the ever-changing entertainment industry, once his exposure waned, he would be quickly replaced. He hadn't yet reached the point where major investors would firmly choose him based on his national popularity.
Feeling Sugao's concern for him, Yingran was in a very good mood. A smile appeared on his brows. "Sister, it's okay. I've arranged everything. Although I'm coming here to study, I'm not completely leaving my job back home. I'm just cutting down on some of my work. I've discussed this with the company, and they agree. I've already found a school, and it won't be changed."
Everything had already been arranged, and Jianguo didn't know what to say. He could only sigh helplessly: "Why are you doing this?"
Ying Ran pursed her lips and smiled, her tone tinged with a sigh: "I just want to be closer to my sister."
He admitted that he was very love-brained.
He always wanted to have more opportunities to see her. So, when he could have just taken a training course at a domestic film academy, he insisted on going abroad.
Ying Ran has gone to such lengths in pursuit of his goal that it would be a lie for Sugao to say he wasn't touched.
She clearly saw his persistence over the past year and a half.
At first, I thought that after going abroad, in a foreign country, even if he wanted to pursue her, he would not be able to bear it due to the distance. Unexpectedly, he insisted on running back and forth like this, always coming to see her with excitement and joy, never showing her his tired side.
Don't put pressure on her, and don't use your own hard work to morally blackmail her... As a busy big star, to be able to do this, she must have overcome many difficulties.
For the first time, Jianguo began to doubt his own thoughts and actions, and sighed in his heart again: "Yingran, I admit that I am a little touched by your doing this, but I am not necessarily soft-hearted."
Ying Ran shook her head repeatedly, her expression clearly revealing panic: "Sister, don't get me wrong. This is my own choice, it has nothing to do with you. Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself, and don't force yourself. Just be yourself."
Sugao didn't know how to respond to these words.
How could she remain indifferent?
The atmosphere suddenly became gloomy. No one spoke. After about a minute of silence, Ying Ran opened her lips, revealing a deliberate smile. Then, she asked cheerfully, "Sister, can I stay overnight? I'm a bit pitiful this time and haven't found a hotel yet."
The rent in the United States is expensive, and Jianguo didn't want to share the house with others, so he just rented a small one-bedroom apartment.
It's called a living room, but the living room has an open kitchen, and after putting a small single sofa in it, there's no space left. The room is also very cramped, with a bed and a simple wardrobe, there's almost no room to step.
If we really want to stay overnight, we will have to sleep together. The single sofa is not enough for anyone to sleep on.
So, Yingran had always said that he wanted to stay overnight, but Sugao had never agreed.
This time, I just said it casually to ease the atmosphere. I thought I would still hear a rejection, but unexpectedly, what I heard was a calm but firm voice.
"good."
"Sister, you..." Ying Ran was caught off guard and was stunned as if struck by lightning. Her tongue became tied.
"Are you, you, no, no, kidding?"
Jianguo asked, "Have you brought all your things?"
Ying Ran answered subconsciously: "In the hotel." Of course, it was a lie to say that he couldn't find the hotel.
Suga continued, "Go get it. I might be very busy these two days. If you stay here, just consider it as helping me look after the house and helping me with my meals."
Ying Ran nodded as if it was a conditioned reflex: "Okay."
Suga hummed, "Then go get the things."
"Okay." Ying Ran stood up stiffly, opened the door woodenly, and then closed it...
"ah!"
In the room, Suga Guo heard a deafening shout at the moment the door was closed. She raised the corners of her lips slightly and revealed a faint smile... She looked so cute when she came to her senses.
While Yingran was going back to the hotel to get his luggage, Sugao took a shower and went to bed to work on his computer.
When Yingran came back, put her things away, went into the bathroom to take a shower, changed into pajamas, and walked into the room, she suddenly felt that the oxygen in the air had decreased a lot...
Both of them felt a little awkward as they were about to sleep together.
Jianguo put down the computer, and unconsciously ruffled the quilt with his free hands, then said, "I don't have any extra quilts here."
Ying Ran immediately responded, "I promise not to move."
But the reality is...
Sugao, whose body was stiff from maintaining the same posture for a long time, wanted to turn over but found that he could not move. He sighed softly.
"Relax."
The person who promised not to move around, lay down for less than 5 minutes before he grabbed her with his big hands, hugged her and held her in his arms.
There was a big difference in their body sizes, and they both lay sideways. When he hugged her, she was completely embedded in his arms.
As if that wasn't enough, he used his hands and feet to completely lock her down.
Hearing Sugao's complaint, Yingran, whose limbs were a little numb, quickly loosened his grip.
Jianguo turned over, and now they were facing each other. Their breaths mingled, and the air seemed to become hot.
The room was dimly lit by the light from the window. Ying Ran stared at those alluring red lips and asked in a voice that had become hoarse from trying to suppress the throbbing in his heart,
"Sister, can I have a kiss?"
Sugao couldn't help but widen his eyes: How should I answer this question?
"I," the sound was suddenly blocked before it could be uttered.
The warm lips completely covered hers, with a passionate impatience, but not overbearing.
First, he rubbed her lips tenderly and lovingly, his soft tongue carefully tracing every inch. As if he had tasted enough, he pushed open her teeth and kissed her lips and tongue, like a gentle invader, sucking out the sweetness in her mouth...
Sugao felt like a frog placed in warm water. As the temperature slowly rose, she gradually lost consciousness... Her originally stiff limbs softened into a puddle of water, her whole body was weak and boneless, and she had no intention of escaping.
When the rapid breathing in the room gradually calmed down, Ying Ran, who still locked the girl in his arms, couldn't help rubbing her ears and cheeks against Sugano's, rubbing her soft and tender cheeks comfortably, and rubbing them again and again... bringing out a thousand tenderness.
"Sister," the voice sounded low and hoarse in the silence, with a hint of pity and coquettishness, "When can I officially become your boyfriend?"
With his head buried in Yingran's arms, Jianguo replied in a muffled tone, "Okay."
"You," Ying Ran instantly loosened the hug, put some distance between himself and Jianguo, and then stared into her eyes with a look of disbelief: "You, what did you just say?"
Looking at the dumbfounded Ying Ran, a smile appeared on Jianguo's lips.
"I said, 'Okay.'"
"Sister, you..." Ying Ran felt like thunder was exploding in her mind, and it felt more and more unreal. After four or five seconds, she reacted and asked, "Did you really agree?"
Jianguo hummed, then said with a bit of complaint: "Let's go to bed. I'm sleepy."
If it weren't for the obvious blush on her cheeks that betrayed her, I would have thought she would be so calm.
"Sister, I..." Ying Ran was overwhelmed by the huge surprise and was instantly flustered. He wanted to hug Jianguo but didn't dare. If he didn't hug her, he felt that everything in front of him was unreal...
When something you have been looking forward to for a long time becomes a reality, it really makes people feel surprised and overwhelmed.
Tracking, Yingran held Sugao in his arms in a posture that showed a strong possessiveness... His hands were crossed and wrapped around her lower abdomen, and his head rested on her shoulder, their bodies fitting together tightly.
"Sister," Ying Ran touched Jianguo's cochlea with the tip of his nose, and made a promise in her ear with a loving tone.
"I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Jianguo, whose heart had already softened to pieces, replied softly, "Okay."
One person finally stopped running away, and the other finally waited until the clouds cleared and the moon appeared... The two people, their hearts tightly intertwined, fell asleep in each other's arms happily.
