Extra 9 I'm jealous
Before I knew it, half of the military training was over.
It was mid-September.
Ruan Xingmian held the calendar and counted happily.
This week she and Gu Xing had dinner together five times, which was as much as the palm of a hand.
Gu Xing always came by bus. If he could make it, he would eat in the cafeteria. If he couldn't, he would eat at a restaurant outside.
They were surprisingly harmonious about what to eat.
Ruan Xingmian wanted to take a photo of the delicious food.
It wasn’t tasty, so the two of them agreed not to come again.
Ruan Xingmian was so happy that she was bubbling with happiness. Every time she stood at attention, she looked forward to seeing Gu Xing after the training. Thinking of her boyfriend in her mind served as a diversion, dispelling the boredom and pain of military training.
The price of happiness was that she ate too much food from outside and got blisters at the corners of her mouth.
I complained to my mother casually once, and the next day the nanny, Sister Zheng, drove over to deliver food.
It's all light diet.
Gu Xing was also busy and couldn't make it in the evening. Before the military training ended on the 19th, they hadn't seen each other for five days.
Without WeChat, Ruan Xingmian couldn't see his updates.
There are two days of vacation after the military training.
On the day of the end of the training, Ruan Xingmian didn't even have time to change out of his military training uniform. He ran to the subway station with a water bottle and a shoulder bag on his back, full of anticipation.
I sent a text message to Gu Xing after getting in the car: I'm here to see you, do you have time?
The answer filled her with disappointment.
Gu Xing didn't reply to her text message, probably because he really didn't have time.
Ruan Xingmian was not discouraged. He went to the convenience store to buy a bottle of water and found a basketball court to sit down and play with his phone.
I was so hungry that I received Gu Xing’s call.
He asked, “Where?”
Ruan Xingmian smiled a long-lost smile: "Your school basketball court."
Gu Xing rushed back from outside the school and spotted the girl who was still dazzling in camouflage uniform from the crowd.
The layers of attention cast on her on the court made Gu Xing feel uncomfortable.
The corners of his cold mouth were tightly drawn.
He stood in front of her without saying a word and held out his hand.
"Hmm?" Ruan Xingmian looked up, his pupils dilated.
And this benefit?
As if she was afraid that he would regret it, she impatiently put her hand into his palm.
I used his strength to stand up and followed him out of the basketball court.
His hands were warmer than I had imagined, with long, slender fingers, cool, pale skin, and a slightly rough fingertips, giving a solid touch.
Ruan Xingmian's palms were secretly sweating. Although the weather was not hot, it felt like little sparks were dancing on his fingertips.
When I touch it, I can't help but tighten it a little, afraid that if it is too loose, it will slip away, and afraid that if it is too tight, it will make me look too nervous.
It was unbelievable that she was holding hands with Gu Xing.
The sounds around me suddenly became distant. Although I was walking on a familiar road, I felt like I was stepping on cotton with every step, and my head was buzzing.
I couldn't help but secretly wonder, "Is his heart beating as fast as mine right now?"
After leaving the playground, he let go.
Ruan Xingmian pinched his fingers and savored the memory secretly.
After dinner, I caught a glimpse of Gu Xing opening the taxi app.
He wants to send himself back.
"Can I...stay a little longer?" She stretched out her hand to block his phone screen. "I have a day off tomorrow, and...we haven't seen each other for five days..."
She used her family's words to support herself: "Who wouldn't miss their family after not seeing them for five days..."
Ye Lan, who hadn't seen her daughter for thirteen days, curled her lips and said - girls should be kept when they grow up.
"I might be busy for a long time." Gu Xing explained in a deep voice, "I won't be able to take care of you."
"I'm fine! I can take care of myself, as long as... you don't chase me away..."
Gu Xing frowned.
Ruan Xingmian was in a state of uncertainty. Should he send her back?
Is he annoyed that he is not obedient?
What to do when she goes back? There is nothing else to do except sleeping, playing with her phone and thinking about Gu Xing.
She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't control her thoughts and emotions.
Her whole mind was filled with Gu Xing. She wanted to see him and be close to him.
She stuffed her hand into his palm again and tried to act coquettishly.
Can you stay for another half an hour...
"I can't bear to drive you away," Gu Xing suddenly said, staring at the back of her hand, "Don't use the word drive away, Ruan Xingmian, I have the same good feelings towards you."
He looked up, his eyes always like an isolated island, immersed in the cold ocean, alienated from everything in the outside world.
But now, he became firm, as gentle as a ray of sunlight shining on the lake: "Ruan Xingmian, you don't have to be cautious in front of me, you might as well be bolder."
Ruan Xingmian was so touched that her whole body started to itch. She scratched her head and complained, "It's all because of the day I confessed my love to you and you rejected me so harshly."
Gu Xing applied a little force to Ruan Xingmian's hand, tightening it and then releasing it. "You're moving too fast. I'm not ready yet."
"What preparations?"
He fixed his eyes on her and called her name earnestly, "What I want is never just a momentary liking..."
Ruan Xingmian slowed down his breathing and listened attentively.
"And you're still young, your preferences change rapidly."
Ruan Xingmian was not convinced, "I have liked you since three years ago, how can you say you have changed so quickly?"
Gu Xing flipped through a few screenshots in front of her.
"Half a year ago, you posted a circle of friends with a picture of Lu Fuchuan praising him for being handsome and calling him Brother Chuan."
Ruan Xingmian: “?”
"In the last month, you praised Zhou Che six times, and every time you mentioned him, you referred to him as our Maomao..."
Ruan Xingmian: "!" He was accusing me with an expressionless face.
"At three in the morning on September 1st, you and your Maomao were still drinking and eating barbecue together..."
There are many more screenshots of Moments.
…
"Friends circle?" Ruan Xingmian grasped the key words, stood up and approached Gu Xing, "You actually have my friends circle, do you have a secondary account?"
Gu Xing just gave her the phone and let her look at it herself.
He explained: "It was added three years ago. The one you added is your work number."
Ruan Xingmian took it and looked at it. The avatar was a snow mountain and the nickname was a simple period.
From this perspective, she rarely posts about herself on her Moments. All of her posts are about friends who go out and have fun, half of them are boys and half are girls.
She began to reflect on herself.
"So, from your perspective, the night before I confessed my feelings to you, I was alone in a room with another boy in the middle of the night, being ambiguous."
Gu Xing didn't say anything, assuming that she was right.
"I can explain! That post by Lu Fuchuan was him buying my circle of friends. He said, 'Brother Chuan, one million!' It was too much for me to refuse. As for Maomao, he encouraged me to confess my feelings to you. My friend Yan Zi was there that night. The two of them were my strategists in pursuing you! I swear!"
She held Gu Xing's hand tightly, fearing that she would not believe her.
Who knew that when the three of them were rehearsing until late at night, she would appear with full confidence and pour a basin of ice water on them.
She was so cold that she almost became autistic because of love.
"I'll delete them now." She said impulsively.
“No need.”
Gu Xing stopped her, raised his hand to check the time, took her bag and led her out.
"I don't want to disrupt your life. They are a part of your life. I can be jealous and you can make friends. There is no conflict."
Ruan Xingmian stopped, she just heard something.
"What are you eating?" Her tone became light and filled with uncontrollable excitement. "I didn't hear clearly just now..."
