Chapter 56 I Just Want to Hug You
"Gu Xing, wuwuwu, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, please forgive me..." Turing's voice suddenly changed to Ruan Xingmian's, crying softly, as if he had become a spirit.
Gu Xing finished eating everything with a frown on his face, then raised his hand to call the waiter: "Hello, pay the bill."
The male waiter came over respectfully: "Hello, sir, Miss Ji has already bought it."
Gu Xing paused, "Could you please tell me how much the bill is?"
He could pass it on to Ji Ling privately.
The waiter pulled out a tablet and said, "Sir, your total bill is 1988."
Gu Xing paused while transferring the money and exited Ji Ling’s WeChat.
Never mind, he doesn't have that much money.
I owe Ji Ling another favor.
Gu Xing stood up, frowning. Judging from Mianmian's personality, if she had known that this store was so expensive, she would definitely not have come.
He walked out of the restaurant and gave a fair three-word review - expensive and unpalatable.
But I still want to thank Ji Ling. I can help her guide her thesis for free next time.
After Turing finished crying, seeing that Gu Xing ignored him, he continued to act like a spoiled child in Ruan Xingmian's aggrieved voice, trying to win Gu Xing's heart: "Gu Xing, let me show you a photo of Mianmian when she was fourteen, a photo from another world."
A photo of a little girl with disheveled hair and ragged clothes, looking at the camera with a confused look in her eyes, flashed on the screen.
As thin as a bean sprout, he wore dirty sandals in the winter, his two little hands clutching his thin pants, with frostbite clearly visible on his hands.
"This was taken by the registrar when she changed her name. That world was more backward than this one, with compulsory education just becoming universal. When she passed away, her soul was only six years old, but her body was that of a fourteen-year-old."
"She entered junior high school. Her name was written crookedly, she couldn't understand what the teacher said, and her reaction was slow. She was bullied by mischievous boys. They stuffed bugs and toads into her schoolbag, and they pulled down her pants while she cried. She lived a hard life, ignorant and confused."
Gu Xing interrupted it: "Turing, I don't allow you to use a continuous voice. This is the first instruction."
After Gu Xing retreated to advance and drove it away, Turing did not dare to act recklessly.
The reply was: "Received, executed immediately."
Gu Xing was willing to listen to it and didn't drive it away. It excitedly recounted the fourteen years it and Mianmian had depended on each other in a foreign world.
Completely unaware, the man who was listening attentively stood there for a long time without moving.
Holding the phone, his eyes were fixed on the timid face of the fourteen-year-old.
Although there was a lot of noise around him, he seemed to have pressed the pause button, and even his breathing was very light.
His fine bangs fell down, covering his red eyes, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if tears were flooding his eyes.
…
At the same time, the Ruan family courtyard was extremely lively.
When Li Xue heard that Gu Xing was coming to visit, she called Ruan Ze to clean up the guest room at night.
Busy as hell.
"Pack one more, my graduate roommate is coming too." Ruan Xingyue came over to remind him while chewing a cucumber.
Li Xue had heard of the eldest daughter of the Ji family, and paused when she heard this: "Aren't you two unfamiliar with each other?"
Ruan Xingyue spread her hands: "She's not looking for me."
Li Xue smiled and said, "My sister is becoming more and more adept at making friends."
Then she couldn't help but worry: "The furniture in the guest room is really simple. Will Miss Ji be able to live here? Or should we go to the city and book a better hotel? I heard that rich people's homes are covered with handmade wool carpets, and they change them every day."
Ruan Xingyue rolled her eyes slightly and said, "You're a teacher, but you change the wool carpet every day. Are there any sheep in this world who can survive?"
Li Xue was not angry at her retort. Instead, she stopped and looked at her eldest daughter seriously: "Where did you and your sister go this afternoon? It's not enough that you can't even use one of your eyes properly when you came back. You've completely changed, Xingyue."
She hadn't seen her eldest daughter roll her eyes for a long time, and most of the time she was too lazy to even lift her eyelids.
"Adults should not interfere in children's affairs and focus on themselves."
Ruan Xingyue said this and turned back to the house.
Li Xue poked her head out and asked, "Where's my sister? Ask her if she's hungry? Does she want a midnight snack?"
"I'm talking to my boyfriend on the phone." Ruan Xingyue replied sourly.
Ruan Ze, who had just painstakingly folded a perfect tofu block and was standing with his hands on his hips admiring it, suddenly changed his expression: "Who? Who is my boyfriend? Who is my boyfriend?"
He rushed out like a crab, holding onto the door frame with disbelief in his eyes.
Ruan Xingyue waved her hand and walked further away.
Li Xue shrugged and said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, Mianmian has a boyfriend."
When Ruan Ze heard this, he felt like the sky was falling.
"Can't she wait until she's twenty-eight? Thirty would be fine too."
Li Xue thought so at first.
But Gu Xing changed Minmin too much.
While she was thinking, Ruan Ze walked back to the bed angrily, overturned the tofu block, and tugged at the sheets twice in anger: "I don't agree. He is too young. No talk. Let him go back to where he came from."
Li Xue said: "Then go talk to Mian Mian yourself."
Ruan Zezhen was about to go, but was stopped by Li Xue again: "If Mianmian breaks up with Gu Xing and becomes her old prickly self again, scolding you for being hypocritical and shameless for adopting a child when you can't afford it, don't cry to me in the middle of the night."
When Ruan Ze heard this, his face turned red, and his head and neck also turned red. He wanted to cry now.
"Go ahead, I won't stop you."
Li Xue let him go and went back to make the bed again.
Ruan Ze had been feeling aggrieved for a long time and no one cared about him, so he came in dejectedly and stood behind Li Xue.
"Sister Xue."
Li Xue hummed, "If you have to fart, do it now."
Ruan Ze, with an innocent face that made him look young, asked tentatively, "Do you really believe that one person can change another? They say it's hard to change one's nature. Regarding the Xiao Yao incident, when Xingyue found out the truth, she nearly strangled Mianmian to death. Mianmian even said that Xingyue was the one who should have died, and that Xiaoyao died for her. The two sisters had a huge falling out after that. Do you think they can really reconcile?"
Li Xue paused while making the bed and squinted at him. "What do you want to say? Don't keep it a secret in front of me."
Ruan Ze switched his left hand to his right and said, "Is there a possibility that our little daughter was replaced?"
When Li Xue heard this, she felt a mixture of disbelief and bewilderment.
"How? Plastic surgery to change your face?"
This was the extent of her imagination.
Ruan Ze didn't know how to explain: "When I was in the army, I heard the leader of the highest-ranking national special operations team mention the term "banning soul swapping."
Li Xue slapped Ruan Ze in the face and said, "Shut up now! You're not afraid of ghosts coming to your house at night, but you're lying to me about that crappy online novel you read (written by Youmi Youmi, please let it go)."
Ruan Ze said he felt greatly wronged, but he could not produce any evidence and was very depressed.
…
In front of the wardrobe, Ruan Xingmian was holding up her cell phone and asking Gu Xing what she would wear tomorrow.
It had only been three days since they last met, but she was already more nervous than the first time she went to the computer lab to see Gu Xing with a pregnancy test stick.
When I lowered my head, I could hear my own heartbeat, as if it was beating in my throat, beating fast and fast.
She is not good at handling emotional conflicts.
The last time her sister spoke up for her, she immediately felt sorry for Gu Xing.
Now that I think about it, my sister was also wronged, even though Ruan Xingyue was acting at that time.
What if everyone asks Gu Xing those realistic questions tomorrow?
The more Ruan Xingmian thought about it, the more horrified he became.
She was even more afraid that Gu Xing would be like last time, without even discussing anything, and would just pull out a PPT: "Uncle and aunt, I got Mianmian pregnant. This is my suicide report."
Li Xue will probably use a broom to chase him out.
"Why don't you speak?" Gu Xing remained silent for as long as she was lost in thought.
"They all look good." He finally spoke, his delicate eyebrows and eyes perfectly embedded in the phone screen. In one word, he was handsome, and Ruan Xingmian was tired of saying it.
Suddenly, he added: "I want to see them all."
Ruan Xingmian teased him: "Then I change into a new outfit every hour. My sister and I bought a lot of clothes."
She said excitedly: "She has a better aesthetic than me. Sure enough, I am destined to follow her and drag sacks to pick up clothes."
"Mianmian." Gu Xing's breathing suddenly became heavier. "We don't pick up clothes. I'll buy them for you. I earn money to buy them for you."
Ruan Xingmian laughed, "I'm not really picking it up. Besides, every piece of my sister's clothes is very expensive, and she has a lot of dresses. My belly will get bigger soon..."
She lowered her voice as she said the last sentence: "I need to buy maternity clothes."
Gu Xing hummed solemnly: "Okay, let's buy both. I'll go with you when we get back."
"By the way, don't tell my mom about the pregnancy tomorrow. I'm afraid my mom will be furious. Now that we're on my turf, you have to listen to me."
Gu Xing agreed unconditionally: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Ruan Xingmian lay back on the bed, stroking her belly with one hand: "Gu Xing, you look so strange today. You seem to be in a bad mood."
She asked, “Are you unhappy?”
Gu Xing: "I want to hug you."
Ruan Xingmian's ears felt hot first, followed by the half of her cheek that was pressed against the phone.
God Gu, please say hello before flirting with someone, or you won’t be able to withstand a sudden attack.
Ruan Xingmian was so embarrassed that she hummed unconsciously: "I just want to hug you, nothing else?"
Gu Xing sincerely admitted: "I just want to hug you tightly."
Ruan Xingmian boldly said: "If I want to kiss you, can I still kiss you?"
Gu Xing answered quickly: "You can do whatever you want."
Because this sentence was acceptable, Ruan Xingmian rolled over on the bed after hanging up the phone.
It's time to pull off your pajamas and touch your abs.
…
On the other side, Gu Xing was lying on the fruit green sofa, with his long legs hanging down casually with nowhere to put them.
The sadness in my heart was not soothed by the lingering voice, but became even heavier.
Without the damn system, Mianmian would have suffered much less.
In the darkness, those cold eyes were burning with hatred.
Turing noticed his emotions and hid in his phone, not daring to make a sound.
He's had this expression since I heard the story.
Kill whoever you see.
Only by being with him can I let go of the knife of hatred in my heart.
The whole person was surrounded by soft clouds and became much softer.
The person on the sofa tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Turing trembled and said, "Why are you making things difficult for yourself? Go sleep on Mianmian's bed."
Gu Xing showed his extraordinary stubbornness: "She doesn't like me sleeping in her bed, even if she can't see, I will do it."
Turing still remembered his last response: "That's not what you said last time."
Gu Xing: "Turing, can you help me generate fourteen years of video footage from another world and copy it to my computer?"
"Can."
"Thanks."
Turing dodged awkwardly: "You're welcome."
The computer in the living room was flashing all the time, Turing working automatically.
At the same time, he could chat with Gu Xing who was staring at the ceiling.
"You'd better go to sleep. You have to drive tomorrow."
Gu Xing closed his eyes, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
There are many Mianmian in his mind, and he wants to pull each of them into his arms and hug them tightly.
Turing suggested: "How about you sleep with a fluffy pillow?"
Gu Xing took this advice and stood up almost immediately, hugging the pillow with the help of the light from the computer.
The pillow covered my entire face, and the smell of green grapes filled my nose.
Before she came to me, she shed countless tears...
My heart aches so much that it feels sore and swollen.
Gu Xing's chest rose and fell several times.
Turing said slowly, "From what I understand, your future father-in-law is not happy with you and has told you to get out of here. You should get some sleep and think about how you're going to meet your parents tomorrow."
Sure enough, Gu Xing is no longer EMO and has become anxious instead.
