Extra 6: Sister's Assist
At the same time Ruan Xingyue's car pulled over.
He shook her wrist off, not with much force, but with some suddenness.
He didn't look at her, just turned his face to the side, his jawline tense like a taut string.
"Oh."
A very light laugh rolled out of her throat, it was unclear whether it was a mockery or something else, and she turned and left.
His steps were fast and heavy, and his back was flickering in the dim yellow light.
My heart, which has always been calm, fluctuates with the light.
The corners of his mouth were tightly drawn together, and he let out a long breath - it was just as he expected.
He guessed correctly. For people who are only interested in things for a short time, their feelings are like a sudden downpour, coming and going quickly.
The first time I knew Ruan Xingmian was through Ruan Xingyue’s circle of friends.
This extreme sister complex woman posts nine out of ten about her beloved sister.
For some unknown reason, Gu Xing began to pay more and more attention to Ruan Xingyue's circle of friends.
Even set up reminders for her to update her Moments.
Someone asked Ruan Xingyue, why are all the photos of your sister in your circle of friends?
Ruan Xingyue replied, my sister's laughter helps me relieve stress.
During the two years of high school when competitions were the most stressful, Gu Xing relied on Ruan Xingyue's circle of friends to get through it.
On his eighteenth birthday, like a thief, he rewarded himself with a gift and found Ruan Xingyue's latest circle of friends.
Randomly save a recent photo of Ruan Xingmian.
The girl stood in front of the snow-capped mountains, her lovely little face smiling as brightly as the sunshine above her head, and her big, lively eyes seemed to contain all the beautiful scenery in the world.
Unconsciously, people are sucked into the beautiful black pupils.
From that day on, the snow-capped mountain became his lock screen.
He knew she would come to see her sister off.
He arrived at the school gate early and saw Ruan Xingyue's car from a distance.
Seeing her wearing denim overalls, jumping down happily from the back seat, and shamelessly trying to drag the heaviest suitcase, but failing at it at first, Gu Xing subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to help her.
Finally, the elders of the Ruan family gave her a suitcase, and she rushed to school with the camera in her hand.
She was exactly the same as described in Ruan Xingyue’s circle of friends.
Move as fast as a rabbit.
Enthusiastic and lively.
She would poke every wild flower by the roadside with her fingers.
Unbeknownst to her, his eyes were always following her.
Cold eyes, occasionally tinged with a smile.
The moment her suitcase fell from her hand, he threw down the bag without hesitation and ran towards her.
He still remembers the sound of his heartbeat that day, as strong as the last chirping of cicadas in summer, leaving his mind blank.
He put his arms around her soft waist, and every breath he took was filled with the sweet scent of the girl.
He hurriedly distanced himself from the two of them.
But she tiptoed over and made a frivolous request: "Can you date me?"
She hastened to add, "When I get into college."
At that time he fled in panic.
The next day, Ruan Xingyue handed him a pink love letter.
"My sister is a bit obsessed with looks. She has been looking for good-looking boyfriends since elementary school and kindergarten. For my sake, can you please not reject her yet and wait until after she takes the college entrance examination?"
I never thought of rejecting the relationship, and I was even very happy.
But his reason told him - you are still immature, how can you protect all the beauty of her.
So, when the three-year agreement came, he cruelly refused, but at the same time he couldn't help but pay attention to her and wanted to be closer to her.
In the end, it was almost as he predicted. She only liked her own face. She swore to like it in the morning, but ruthlessly took it back in the evening.
…
Bus stop.
Ruan Xingmian looked at his straight yet indescribably stiff shoulders and back, and felt sad for no reason at first.
Suddenly I realized that what was hidden in that back figure was not anger, but a kind of loneliness as if something was torn apart.
Like a tree wilted by a rainstorm, its branches are still strong, but the tips of its leaves are secretly drooping.
Her heart was pounding. What did Gu Xing mean? Could she still like him?
The wind was still blowing, and the remaining warmth on her wrist quickly dissipated, leaving only the instantaneous, cool force he shook off.
On September 2nd and 3rd, Ruan Xingmian didn't step out of the bedroom for two consecutive days.
Meals are delivered to the room by the nanny.
No matter what her sister asked, she just shook her head.
On the night she broke Gu Xing's phone, she placed an order as soon as she got home and bought the same latest model of phone by local express delivery, which was delivered to Gu Xing the next morning.
Gu Xing refused to accept it.
She mustered up the courage to call Gu Xing, and luckily he answered.
She hurriedly said, "Gu Xing, please accept it, so I can sleep well."
There was a pause. "How much?"
"Eighteen thousand, and I chose the one with the largest memory for you." She felt that she was very considerate.
He sighed softly on the other end, "Return it. My phone is only worth a few hundred dollars. Ruan Xingmian, don't make it difficult for me."
"But I've already bought it." Ruan Xingmian felt a little aggrieved.
Why is it so difficult for her to communicate with Gu Xing?
Gu Xing expressed her inner thoughts: "The difference in consumption is our first communication barrier. Ruan Xingmian, find something else to do. You'll soon forget about your old phone with a broken screen."
Did I forget you by the way?
It's not that easy to forget.
Also, was he scolding himself for being bored?
The phone was returned and the 18,000 yuan was also refunded.
Ruan Xingmian didn't go out. He bought a bunch of things online and spent all the 18,000 yuan in anger.
Knowing that she was in a bad mood, Ruan Xingyue went home to have dinner with her.
"Still feeling down. School starts on the 6th. Have you packed your luggage yet?"
"No." She didn't even have the strength to get out of bed and just wanted to lie on the bed and play with her phone.
"It's only natural for me to compensate him for his phone. Not only did he return it to me, but he also reminded me to find something else to do and not disturb him. Does he really hate me that much?"
She lay in her sister's arms, "I thought he would be the father of my three children, but I didn't expect that he would be just my Yang Guo."
"What?" Ruan Xingyue suppressed a smile, "Why Yang Guo?"
"If you can't get it, you still seduce me. Once you see Yang Guo, you'll ruin your life." She suddenly stopped. "Pah, pah, pah, Yang Guo ended up with a broken arm and a disability. Gu Xing can't be Yang Guo. Even if he doesn't like me, he has to be good in the future."
Ruan Xingyue played with her sister's cute natural curls and thought to herself, she really likes her.
It's rare that the sister who is usually short-lived can persist until today.
"Don't wear that long, straight black wig tomorrow, and don't wear my skirt. Dress up as your most authentic self. I'll help you."
"How can I help?"
I hope my sister doesn’t plan to tie up Gu Xing and throw him on the bed.
That won’t work. She still prefers mutual consent.
"You'll know tomorrow." Ruan Xingyue kept it a secret.
Ruan Xingmian woke up at nine o'clock. The nanny came and put breakfast on the table.
She had no appetite, so she washed up and went to the cloakroom.
Looking down, what does she look like in her truest form?
In the end, she went downstairs without combing her hair, leaving a tuft of hair on her head, and without changing into her nightgown.
Halfway down, he stopped, grabbed the handrail and stared wide-eyed.
A lot of men.
A lot of handsome men.
I've only seen her at talent shows since she was a child.
Behind a handsome face, there is an even more handsome face.
Ruan Xingmian's legs felt a little weak.
I looked around but didn't see Gu Xing.
"Are you up?" Ruan Xingyue, dressed in a smart suit, waved her to go down.
Ruan Xingmian ran to her sister in small steps and lowered her voice, "Sister, why are there so many people?!"
"I posted a boyfriend ad for you on WeChat Moments. These are all approved resumes."
Ruan Xingmian: "..."Is it such a big deal?
Ruan Xingyue patted her sister's shoulder and said, "We'll be having a buffet soon. A few of the girls who don't have cars but are good-looking and have promising futures haven't made it yet. Take your time to look around and choose."
