Chapter 23 Next time I bow my head
I caught a glimpse of several passing students looking at them.
Ruan Xingmian pushed Gu Xing away and put some distance between them.
"Let's talk it over."
Her face flushed, and she said seriously, "I don't like being treated coldly and violently. Saying sorry won't solve the problem, Gu Xing."
Gu Xing nodded and held her hand tightly.
His brows are low and his mouth is slightly pursed.
Ruan Xingmian was unmoved by his unconscious coquettishness and continued:
"This is my first time in a relationship too. If there's anything I'm not doing right, just tell me and I'll fix it."
She repeated what Gu Xing had said to her.
"You said you don't want to end it, so let's solve the problems as they arise, instead of torturing people with cold violence, okay?"
The promise of language seems weak and pale.
Gu Xing suddenly opened his arms, wrapped his arms around Ruan Xingmian, and hugged her tightly.
His big palm gently stroked her hair.
His voice was slightly hoarse but firm: "Okay."
Ruan Xingmian buried her head in his chest, unable to see the passers-by or hear any other sounds.
Gu Xing’s heartbeat was so clear.
He hugged me tightly.
Ruan Xingmian felt like she was wrapped in warm sea water, and the tension instantly dissipated, as if the whole world was at ease.
People who have rarely been hugged, once they experience a hug, will pathologically expect the other person to hug them tightly.
The tighter the better.
Ruan Xingmian raised her head in his arms, unable to hide her thick nasal tone: "This time I'll bow my head first."
A kiss landed on her forehead: "Next time I will bow my head."
Ruan Xingmian felt even more aggrieved, "I even made sushi for you."
Gu Xing took it, held it in his hand, and stared at the sushi box with his eyes lowered: "I will eat it carefully, without leaving any."
"That's not necessary. What if you get sick? The sushi is huge, there are twenty pieces. Share some with the students you're close to."
In the book, Gu Xing always keeps to himself and has few friends.
The male protagonist secretly said that Gu Xing was pretending to be aloof, but in fact it was because she had little money in her pocket and could not even afford to treat people to dinner.
Teacher Qin also reminded Gu Xing that if he wanted to make great achievements in the field of scientific research, making friends was essential.
The school bell rang slowly from the university campus.
"Class is about to start. You go to the classroom first. I can go back by myself."
Ruan Xingmian pushed him towards the Duxing Building and said, "Don't forget to give your classmates some points and listen carefully."
Gu Xing walked away a few steps and then ran back.
Ruan Xingmian looked up at him: "What's wrong..."
The strands of hair by Gu Xing's ear brushed against her cheek, and when his warm breath fell on her ear, she didn't even have time to blink before he gently held the back of her neck with his fingertips again.
The delicate kiss brushed across the lips like a feather, and a tingling sensation ran up the spine to the scalp.
It hasn't tasted any temperature yet.
He had already taken half a step back. "It's not an apology kiss, it's a kiss that makes you reluctant to part."
The young man's refreshing figure gradually walked away.
It was not until Ji Ling appeared from the corner with his arms folded that Ruan Xingmian realized that he had been biting his lower lip and smiling foolishly for a long time.
She slowly stopped smiling.
Ji Ling stood a little far away, tugged at her long hair unnaturally, and cleared her throat: "I just came here to tell you that there's nothing wrong between Gu Xing and me."
She looked up and down before looking at Ruan Xingmian. "He and I are on the same project team, and our research directions overlap. He has a strong talent for algorithms, and sometimes I need to consult him. Please don't misunderstand me."
She is upright and has nothing to fear from her own shadow.
Don't poach other people's employees.
Gu Xing, this piece of ice and stone that cannot be warmed up, cannot be snatched away by her with just a swing of her hoe.
It’s better to be clear.
Ruan Xingmian's lips curled slightly: "Well, I understand. Thank you for your honesty."
Ji Ling looked left and right, hesitant to speak, "You're welcome."
She's not going back to class yet?
Ruan Xingmian is going back for lunch break.
"Student Ji, aren't you afraid of being late for class?"
"I don't have classes this afternoon, so I'll be in the lab running algorithms."
"Oh, so, is there anything else?"
If not, she left first.
"Hey, do you have any more of the sushi you just prepared for Gu Xing? I want to buy some."
Ye Hua bought one for her. She was not interested at first. Most of the people around her had taken one each. When she remembered to eat it, there was only one left.
For their major, they have to sacrifice their lunch time almost every day to do computer experiments.
When I finished my work and went to the cafeteria, there were only leftovers.
If you eat takeout for less than three days, you will definitely have a mouth full of mouth ulcers.
So she is still hungry now.
Ruan Xingmian thought for a moment and suggested, "How about you do me a favor and I'll make another one for you?"
Ji Ling was so hungry that he agreed without thinking.
In this way, Ruan Xingmian walked in front and Ji Ling followed behind pushing the cart.
Go downstairs to the family building of the garrison area and place the cart in a fixed location.
The two girls worked together to carry the incubator upstairs.
"You actually rented a house outside the school just for Gu Xing?"
Ji Ling was very surprised.
Ruan Xingmian smiled and said, "It's not for him, but for myself. I stick to him."
Ji Ling put aside his pride and took the initiative to approach her, and Ruan Xingmian also wanted to try to get along with her.
It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
"Oh, then why don't you invite him to live with you? Those people in their dormitory are not easy to get along with."
Ruan Xingmian paused while tying her apron: "Did they bully Gu Xing?"
If you are the best in your profession, will anyone dare to bully you?
Ruan Xingmian is someone who has experienced school bullying.
Her grandfather took her to the school to seek justice, but the head teacher said she was making a fuss and was too petty.
The student's parents also pushed the grandfather.
"Don't worry. I don't know the details because I don't live in the dormitory. Anyway, I heard a few female students talking about it. Gu Xing doesn't smoke or drink, and he doesn't go to dinner parties. Those guys would say bad things about him when they get together. Besides, the three of them in the dormitory are very clingy. Last time, they went to the hospital to complain that Gu Xing bullied them and poured water on their computers. Gu Xing is in the lab every day at noon, so why would he pour water on them?"
"What happened next? What did the hospital leaders say?"
"Teacher Qin pressed the button and asked those three people to produce evidence. If they don't have any evidence, it's just a self-directed show."
Ruan Xingmian's fingernails dug into his palms. "They just want to blackmail me."
Ji Ling felt very comfortable after entering the house, looking around: "Your place is pretty good, why don't you just let him move out? He's always dealing with some trivial matters, which delays our progress on the project."
Ruan Xingmian was indeed a little moved.
But he didn't know whether Gu Xing was willing.
"Sister Ji Ling, I braised meat, eggs, and tofu skin this morning. How about I make you some noodles with gravy?"
It sounds delicious.
Ji Ling nodded hurriedly: "I'm fine with anything, as long as there's food to eat."
While Ji Ling was eating noodles, Ruan Xingmian was cooking rice.
Ji Ling was very well-mannered when eating. No sound could be heard, and his eyes were extremely serious, staring at the noodles in the bowl like an athlete staring at the finish line.
Unlike Ruan Xingyue, who is picky about food and picks and tucks with a pair of chopsticks.
If her sister could help her take a leave of absence from school, she could cook for her sister like she does now.
Make her fatter.
"Sister Ji Ling, can you keep the fact that I rented a house here a secret for me?" Ruan Xingmian pursed her lips and said, "My sister doesn't know yet."
Ji Ling finished swallowing the noodles in his mouth and said, "Okay, no problem."
This is called being grateful for the favor you received.
Ji Ling finished eating and washed the dishes, while Ruan Xingmian was mixing rice.
Pour the cooked rice into a larger bowl, add sushi vinegar, salt and sugar, mix well, and let it cool.
"The one selling ten-yuan sushi on Wutong Road, is that you?"
Ruan Xingmian nodded: "I'm bored, I'm looking for something to do, Sister Ji Ling..."
Ji Ling raised his hand: "I know, I know. I also hid this from your sister."
Ruan Xingmian smiled faintly and kept it a secret for the time being. When she could no longer hide it, she would drag Gu Xing into being scolded by her sister as well.
I would rather die than let my friend die.
Ji Ling ate and drank his fill, and got a portion of sushi to take away.
Ruan Xingmian woke up from his nap and got down to work.
After packing fifty servings of sushi, I sat on the sofa and took a rest.
I caught a glimpse of two coins on the table.
There was also a note - the fruit that Sister Ji Ling bought when she first visited was converted into money.
Just now she was wondering why Ji Ling was partial to her table. He stood there touching it and praising her beautiful choice of tablecloth.
I think she took out her wallet several times, wondering how much money to put in it.
Ruan Xingmian took a photo and sent it to the new WeChat account - Thank you Sister Ji Ling for the fruit, my sister is eating it.
Ji Ling: You’re welcome.
Ruan Xingmian curled the corners of his mouth, took out the keys to his house and took one down from the top.
