Chapter 12 Listen to You
The two parted at the transfer station.
Wenzhu went back to the mall to work a small evening shift.
Ruan Xingmian came out of the light rail station and originally wanted to go back to the rental house to rest, but in the end he couldn't resist the anticipation in his heart and took the bus to the Computer Research Institute instead - the desire to see someone was so clear and intense.
I took out the phone that was stuffed in there, took a look at it, closed it, and couldn't help but take another look at it, over and over again, feeling empty.
She was about to turn back halfway, but she received a call from Gu Xing. It seemed that he had already finished the get out of class.
"What do you want to eat?" He went straight to the point and only cared about whether they had eaten.
Ruan Xingmian was tired from shopping.
In addition, Gu Xing hasn't liked her post or replied to her message yet.
She felt a little lost.
I can't help but want to act coquettishly.
"I don't want to eat anymore. I want to sleep."
There was silence for three seconds.
The tone becomes lighter.
"Are you tired of walking around?"
"Yeah, I'm sleepy."
"So... did you go back?" A hint of caution could be heard in the usually calm and cold voice.
Ruan Xingmian smiled faintly, pressed his forehead against the car window and asked, "Gu Xing, if I go back, will you feel lost?"
Gu Xing said nothing. He was used to not showing his emotions and used to dealing with sudden changes calmly.
But today, without seeing anyone, he felt a distinct irritation in his heart, an indescribable emotion.
He retracted his steps to leave the school, and covered up his disappointment with indifference, "No, you should have a good rest."
Eh?
This answer was not what she expected.
"Oh." I felt a little depressed.
Gu Xing said anxiously, "Don't rush to sleep yet. I'll order you some food. Eat it and then go to sleep. Is that okay?"
This tone sounds quite lost.
A tough-talking man.
"No need to order." Ruan Xingmian quickly stopped him.
"The university research institute has arrived..."
The person on the other end of the phone heard the clear announcement.
He took a step back in a second.
He couldn't wait to speak, "I'll be there soon, wait for me on the platform."
Ruan Xingmian sat at the edge of the platform, gently rubbing his sore knees.
Seeing Gu Xing jogging towards him, a corner of his usually neat hair was lifted up by the wind, revealing his cold, white and smooth forehead.
He didn't care about his appearance as usual, and even let the strap of his backpack slide from his shoulder to his arm without raising his hand to hold it.
When he approached Ruan Xingmian, he subconsciously slowed down his pace, as if he was afraid of rushing too fast and scaring her. The last few steps became a hurried walk.
When he stopped in front of her, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his breathing was heavier than usual.
Ruan Xingmian deliberately raised his eyebrows and said, "Come and take me to the bus across the street? Then go back to sleep and eat takeout?"
Gu Xing pursed his lips.
The cold gaze seemed to be glued to Ruan Xingmian's face.
His shoulders slumped slightly as he leaned forward, looking like he wanted to get closer but was hesitant.
His Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed, and his mouth opened and closed several times but no sound came out.
"Here," Ruan Xingmian handed the canvas bag to him and strode ahead, "Take me to the bus across the street. I want to go back."
He followed his girlfriend in astonishment.
On the zebra crossing.
Several times, Gu Xing's hand touched the back of Ruan Xingmian's hand.
Quickly dodged again.
It's kind of cute in a timid way.
Ruan Xingmian didn't want to go back at first, but now that he thinks about it, it's okay to go back.
It's not a good thing to stick to Gu Xing every day. I feel so confused and my emotions are like a roller coaster. I don't even want to edit the video.
My mind is full of the man next to me.
Finished crossing the zebra crossing.
The person behind suddenly took a big step forward and half-hugged Ruan Xingmian in his arms.
Did Gu Xueshen have a burst of courage?
"Eat first, then come back, okay?"
He lowered his voice, eagerness evident in his anticipation.
Ruan Xingmian smiled with her head down, and when she looked up at him, her eyes were filled with an unconcealable smile.
There was still a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
She didn't lie to him.
I'm really tired.
Gu Xing weighed the pros and cons and made a decision.
"After dinner, I'll take you in a taxi."
In his opinion, eating is the most important thing, and staying longer is even better.
Ruan Xingmian wanted to tease him, "But, I don't even have the strength to walk anymore."
Hearing this, Gu Xing's free hand naturally fell on Ruan Xingmian's shoulder and pulled him to his side.
Ruan Xingmian's head tilted over and rubbed against his collarbone.
This can be considered half a hug.
Ruan Xingmian's heart was beating like a drum.
She thought, why not stop teasing him.
But this guy is so stubborn that it's hard to stop.
He looks cool, but has lots of micro-expressions and small movements.
Finally, they bought two pancakes.
Two cups of soy milk.
Walk back to the family building of the garrison area.
Ruan Xingmian was not hungry, so he asked the boss to cut it into two portions and put it in two bags.
Gu Xing ate one and a half, and she ate half.
As the saying goes, love is enough to satisfy one’s hunger - young people in love can feel full even if they share a bag of spicy strips.
The legendary aloof academic god eats as fast as an average manual worker.
He eats fast, has a big appetite, and devours food voraciously.
But, Gu Xing’s face makes him look handsome no matter what he does.
"So, you don't have to go back to the classroom at night?" she asked softly.
"The thesis study class doesn't waste this little time." He finally managed to keep the students, so he had to free up time for the professional classes.
It doesn’t matter if I spend a little time... Ruan Xingmian believed the aura of intelligence that was coming towards him when the academic god said this.
In the original text, Gu Xing was deliberately encountered by the original owner, and the location happened in the library of the research institute.
Almost every time, Gu Xing is studying papers. He is gifted and hardworking.
"Then you just let me go?"
Gu Xing looked away and denied: "No."
"Then I'll leave on my own."
He looked away, agreeing with the statement.
Ruan Xingmian wanted to tease him again, "Well, since it doesn't matter whether I stay or not, I'd better leave and come back to clean up another day..."
The free left hand was tightly grasped by a warm big palm.
Gu Xing's actions were a bit forceful, and he took Ruan Xingmian into the residential area without saying anything.
He expressed his ideas through actions.
Ruan Xingmian's lips curled up, she lowered her eyes and smiled softly, the corners of her eyes curved into a crescent moon.
Open the door and turn on the light.
Seeing the tidy and clean rental house, Ruan Xingmian perked up in an instant.
He took out the art book from his bag and showed Gu Xing the design drawings of the renovation.
"I want to transform the living room into a large study. I don't want a coffee table or sofa. I want two desks here for work and a square electric heating table there for warming up by the fire in winter. It's enough for two people to use as a dining table for meals during normal times."
Hearing the word "two people", Gu Xing glanced at Ruan Xingmian's lower abdomen.
Then he quickly moved away.
He pulled the tip of his ear to hide his mistake.
He was just caught by Ruan Xingmian who was staring at his face.
Ruan Xingmian summed up this interesting point - when Gu Xing felt embarrassed, he would pull his ears unnaturally.
She then became uncomfortable, and with hot cheeks, she changed her words, "It's enough for a family of three to eat."
She didn't even dare to look at Gu Xing, so she lowered her head and scribbled with a pencil, "What do you think?"
"As you say."
He looked away, said only three words, put down his schoolbag consciously, went into the bathroom to get some water and wipe himself.
In order to work, he changed into a black sportswear.
He knelt on one knee to wipe under the counter. His black sportswear stretched his back tight with his movements, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his strong forearms.
When changing the water bucket, he picked up the plastic bucket full of water with one hand. The muscles in his arm bulged out in smooth arcs, and the water rippled in the bucket, but not a drop splashed out.
It's hard to imagine that the same hands that can type out cyberpunk code can also do housework neatly and beautifully.
Ruan Xingmian wanted to help, but he said there wasn't much work to do and asked her to sit down and rest.
Ruan Xingmian set up the camera, filmed Gu Xing, and lay down with peace of mind.
She walked around all day, and except for a few dry heaves in the morning, she never thought about the baby in her belly.
Until just now, Gu Xing glanced at her belly.
She then realized that she was a pregnant woman in the early stages of pregnancy, so it would be best to control her exercise.
Ruan Xingmian finished revising the design drawing while sitting cross-legged. She turned over one of the pages and saw the notes she had made when she was bored.
Pregnancy check-up flow chart.
It's full of words.
It looks so annoying, I don't want to go.
But if you don’t go, you will be irresponsible to your child and yourself.
Thinking of the original owner’s tragic ending.
Ruan Xingmian still puts this matter first.
Plus, prenatal checkups are great material.
When I think about it this way, I don’t feel annoyed anymore.
"I won't be here for the next three days. How about we meet at the hospital on Saturday morning?"
Why?
Gu Xing's tense expression was filled with these three words.
"I want to go home and get something."
All important documents are at home.
Moreover, she wanted to apologize to her aunt.
See if you can convince her to go to the hospital for a full body check-up.
Later, after the original owner died of complications during childbirth, my aunt became so angry that she was taken to the hospital, where she suffered a heart attack and became a semi-vegetative state.
My uncle quit his job, sold his house and took care of my aunt.
Because of money, my cousin accepted Lu Tian's proposal with ulterior motives.
One step into the grave of marriage.
Ruan Xingmian knew very well that humans are social animals and can never cut off social relationships.
Family ties are the first relationship.
Now that she is 20-year-old Ruan Xingmian, she hopes to maintain this blood relationship.
"good."
Gu Xing responded, flipped the rag twice in his hand, and continued to work.
Look closely, he used more strength than before.
