☆, Chapter 21
Chapter 21
The car slowly stopped at a small road outside the dormitory building. The street lights outside the dormitory were almost non-existent. The dim light seemed to be covered with a hazy veil. Apart from embellishing the dark night, it had no lighting function at all.
From time to time, groups of students passed by outside the car, and suddenly a burst of hearty laughter came into the car. Gu Qingyue just put her hand on the handlebars and heard him say, "Next week, I will be away on business for a week. Can you go get the vaccine by yourself?"
Gu Qingyue paused slightly, feeling a moment of inexplicable loss in her heart, but she said calmly: "Okay, where are you going on this business trip?"
"Manchester," he said.
Gu Qingyue's eyebrows raised slightly, a little surprised. Gu Hengsheng saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just remembered a movie I saw a few days ago."
Gu Qingyue got out of the car, closed the passenger door, and watched it drive away. She turned and walked back to the dormitory building. The air was filled with a sharp night breeze, and the weather was slowly getting colder.
The inexplicable feeling of loss was accumulating in her body bit by bit. At this moment, the cell phone in her hand rang, pressing the pause button on this emotion.
Shu Miaomiao called and asked her where she was.
Gu Qingyue stared at the uppers of her canvas shoes and said, "What's going on downstairs in the dormitory?"
"Stand still." Shu Miaomiao raised her voice and warned her, "Don't come up, I'm going down right now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Miaomiao hung up the phone without saying anything. Gu Qingyue took the phone from her ear and stared at the screen in confusion.
Fortunately, two minutes later, Shu Miaomiao explained the reason: "Yang Shuowen's cousin opened a pub nearby. He Qing just called us and asked us to go play together."
"Just the two of us?" Gu Qingyue asked.
"He Qing and Xin Hui are already there. Let's go! They're here to pick us up."
"Who's going to pick it up?"
"Who else could it be?" Shu Miaomiao glanced at her. "Song Xiaoshu."
The two walked out of the dormitory area. A black car was driving towards them from a distance. It slowly stopped when it was twenty meters away from them. The person in the driver's seat hit the hazard lights twice.
Gu Qingyue looked up and saw Shu Miaomiao said, "It's Song Xiaoshu."
The pub opened by Yang Shuowen's cousin is located near a commercial plaza. It has a large flow of people and is surrounded by restaurants.
Song Xiaoshu drove the car to the front of the pub, dropped them off, then drove around the area and into the underground parking garage. Shu Miaomiao took Gu Qingyue's hand and said, "He looks good in red."
Gu Qingyue asked in confusion: "Is he wearing red today?"
Shu Miaomiao rolled her eyes, looking speechless.
This pub was a two-story building. When the two of them pushed the sliding glass door in, Yang Shuowen was leaning against the bar, talking to the waiter. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw them and asked, "Where's Xiaoshu?"
"Let's go park the car." Gu Qingyue said.
Yang Shuowen nodded, said something to the person behind the bar, and then took the two of them to the booth. The booth was full of familiar faces that He Qing had seen last time on his birthday.
Jiang Xinhui was already drunk, her cheeks flushed. She propped her cheek with one hand and asked, "Where's the handsome guy who picked you up?"
The boy sitting next to Jiang Xinhui whistled and said, "Here comes the handsome guy."
Song Xiaoshu pushed open the glass door, walked past the bar, and came to the booth. He took off his jacket and casually placed it on his knees. Only then did Gu Qingyue notice the dark red sports-style jacket he wore on his knees.
Yang Shuowen called the waiter and Gu Qingyue ordered a glass of fruit wine tonight, which did not have a high alcohol content.
She sipped slowly. Song Xiaoshu suddenly looked at her, his eyelids half closed, and said, "Are you not in a good mood today?"
Gu Qingyue pinched the straw and looked up at him: "No." Orange&&
Song Xiaoshu thought for a while and said, "If you feel tired, I'll take you home first?"
Gu Qingyue was about to speak when someone patted her shoulder from behind and said in a surprised voice, "Qingyue."
Gu Qingyue slowly turned her head. Chi Xiqian was standing behind her, smiling. "Hey, I was afraid I recognized the wrong person, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Gu Qingyue said, "Hi."
"Coming out with friends?" Chi Xiqian's gaze fell on Song Xiaoshu without any concealment.
Gu Qingyue nodded: "Yes."
Chi Xiqian leaned against the sofa, tapped Gu Qingyue's shoulder lightly with her finger, and said, "Would you like to introduce yourself?"
Afterwards, when Chi Xiqian met Song Xiaoshu, Shu Miaomiao brought up the matter and blamed her for introducing Song Xiaoshu to Chi Xiqian, which was tantamount to sending a lamb into the mouth of a wolf.
Gu Qingyue returned from the bathroom. Chi Xiqian sat down next to Song Xiaoshu, one hand on her face, her eyes fixed on him, a smile perfectly placed. Song Xiaoshu said something that made her smile even wider. She laughed so hard that her other hand fell on Song Xiaoshu's shoulder, her forehead almost resting on his chest.
When Gu Qingyue returned to her seat, Shu Miaomiao came over and whispered, "I have a bad feeling."
"What?"
"Chi Xiqian has fallen in love with Song Xiaoshu." Shu Miaomiao said.
Gu Qingyue glanced in Chi Xiqian's direction and said unconcernedly, "It's not very obvious."
"She's really good at luring rich men." Shu Miaomiao sighed, "I hope Song Xiaoshu doesn't fall for it so easily. Amen."
Gu Qingyue shook her head and smiled: "Miaomiao, you are not his mother, there is no need to worry so much."
“I am his mom’s fan.”
That night, Gu Qingyue didn't stay too late and returned to the dormitory before nine o'clock.
After she finished washing up in the bathroom, Shu Miaomiao grabbed some clothes to change into and went into the bathroom. Gu Qingyue fumbled with her phone for a moment, then suddenly thought of a question.
She opened the address book and sent a message to Gu Hengsheng.
[What will happen to Zaitsev if you go on a business trip for a week?]
After sending the message, she took out a facial mask from the cabinet, put it on in front of the mirror, and smoothed out every wrinkle. Then the phone screen lit up and he replied.
Gu Qingyue took a few tissues, wiped the essence off her hands, and turned on the screen of her mobile phone.
[There's plenty of cat food, so it shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps if you have time, you could come and help me look after it.]
Gu Qingyue: [But, there is a problem?]
Gu Hengsheng: [What?]
Gu Qingyue: [I don’t have the key.]
Gu Hengsheng: [I've left the key under the flowerpot at the door. Come get it tomorrow.]
Gu Qingyue held the mobile phone in her hand, and the dimmed screen reflected her face, her eyebrows were raised.
At this moment, the slight irritation in Gu Qingyue's heart disappeared completely.
Shu Miaomiao came out of the bathroom and saw Gu Qingyue holding her phone. She asked casually, "Any good news to share?"
"What?" Gu Qingyue looked at her in confusion.
Shu Miaomiao held up the small bottle and sprayed the toner on her face a few times: "I saw you smiling so happily, I thought you heard some good news."
Shu Miaomiao added, "I heard from students in the College of Biology that Teacher Gu is going to take a leave next week?"
"Yes, he's going on a business trip."
"Then you can't go for free meals this week?" Shu Miaomiao looked at her with deep regret.
Gu Qingyue frowned, took off the mask, threw it into the trash can, and pretended to be disappointed: "Yeah, what a pity."
Gu Qingyue went to the balcony to wash her face. She turned on the faucet and the cold water hit her face, feeling a bit chilly.
Shu Miaomiao leaned against the glass sliding door, her eyes fixed on her phone, and she said casually, "Will Teacher Gu feel bothered by you going there? Fortunately, Teacher Gu is single now..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue paused for two seconds while scooping up water.
If Shu Miaomiao hadn't mentioned it, she would never have thought about this question, whether it would bother him,
Shu Miaomiao raised her eyes from her phone and said, "Hey, why don't you wash?"
Gu Qingyue turned off the faucet and said, "I haven't thought about this question."
Shu Miaomiao didn't understand and asked in confusion: "What?"
Gu Qingyue shook her head. She returned to the dormitory, took a few tissues from the table, wiped her face, and then applied a layer of skin care lotion, face cream, and eye cream.
After a series of skin care procedures, her eyes finally fell on the black screen of the mobile phone on the desk.
Maybe she could ask him.
When Gu Hengsheng received Gu Qingyue's message, he was processing a set of data in his study. He rolled up his gray striped shirt, picked up the coffee beside him, took a sip, and put his phone aside. The screen lit up.
Gu Hengsheng usually has the habit of turning his phone to airplane mode when he is working. However, twenty minutes ago, he had just finished chatting with the girl and had forgotten about it.
He took the phone and opened the screen. It was still a message from Gu Qingyue.
The content of the message was very serious. Gu Hengsheng put down his coffee cup, changed his sitting position, and couldn't help but take it seriously.
[I have a question for you, and I hope you can answer it truthfully.]
Gu Hengsheng: [Okay.]
Gu Qingyue: [Would it be a bother for you if I went to your place for dinner this weekend?]
Gu Hengsheng held the phone screen and leaned back in his chair. He raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled: [Why do you ask that?]
Gu Qingyue: [I'm afraid you'll feel troubled, but because of my status as an elder, I can't say it directly.]
After Gu Qingyue sent the message, she placed her phone upside down on the desk. She took a sip of hot water from the cup and shrank her tongue because of the heat.
Her phone, which was lying face down, vibrated and buzzed. She quickly placed the cup back on the table, reached for her phone, and turned on the screen.
Gu Hengsheng: [I don't feel bothered. I'm very happy that you like the food I cook.]
This answer seemed a bit like a polite remark. Gu Qingyue just assumed that he was sincere. She held the phone in both hands, resting her chin on it, and after a moment of silence, she sent him another message.
Gu Qingyue: [If you have a girlfriend, please let me know. I will avoid any suspicion and won't dare to nag you again.]
Gu Heng stared at the message, feeling both amused and confused. He didn't intend to discuss his relationship problems with her anymore, so he changed the subject: "It's already eleven o'clock, aren't you going to rest?"
The moment Gu Qingyue saw this message, she felt that she must have disturbed him. She pressed her face against the pillow and said, "Ready to sleep, good night."
Gu Hengsheng: [Good night.]
