Chapter 20: You Like Me
Gu Jiawei, who was tired of eating Western food recently, finished a large bowl of noodles in one go, along with two side dishes, and felt like he had been reborn in a trance.
Hmph, what man, what love, what grievance, is not as real as a warm feeling of satiety.
"I can't imagine that you are so homely, and you will always have soup stock at home. Gu Jia didn't eat and drink enough, lazily nestled in the sofa, watching Zhuo Xiuran clean up the scraps.
"My dad had a bad stomach, so my mom used to having stock for him to cook soft and comfortable meals. "My father has passed away for many years, and when I mention the sadness, there is only the warmth in my memory.
"It's good that my parents are both school teachers, and I have been eating in the cafeteria since I was a child. After eating in the elementary school cafeteria where my dad was, I ate in the middle school cafeteria where my mom was. The university lives on campus, and it is still a cafeteria every day. ”
"No wonder you are not a picky eater at ordinary times, when I return to China next year, you can find me to eat when you are free. ”
"Next year, how can it be so fast?"
"Don't you want me to go back early?" Zhuo Xiuran turned his head and looked at Gu Jiawei aggrievedly while washing the dishes.
Gu Jia couldn't help the poor puppy's eyes, and waved his hand again and again.
"No, no, it's good that you're back early. Okay, don't lose your temper, you know that you are a genius, and you can read a degree that no one can read in five or six years, and you can read it in two years. I'll be honest, it's just right to go back next year. Xiu Ning is about to graduate, so you can help him connect with American schools while you are still here. In this forum, I left a lot of professors' contact information and main directions, and you will help him research when I come back. ”
Gu Jiawei didn't feel that he was too lenient, and while boringly scrolling through Weibo with his mobile phone, he was thinking about Zhuo Xiuning's various things at school.
Reading and reading, I only felt a hot breath rushing next to my ears, and I turned my head to see that it was sticking to Zhuo Xiuran's face. Gu Jiawei hurriedly dodged and made a big red face.
Zhuo Xiuran straightened up, the corners of his lips were full of smiles, he liked Gu Jiawei's expression like a kitten with shrunken claws. I prefer her to be shy and dodge, but she never dislikes and gets angry.
"Sister Jia Wei, why do you know more about Xiu Ning's current situation than me?"
"I, I, I and Xiu Ning are also friends, and I also treat him as a younger brother. ”
"Who else?" Strictly speaking, Zhuo Xiuran didn't mind Gu Jiawei treating him as a younger brother, he knew very well that this was a woman who was overflowing with love, and the more you pretended to be weak and pitiful, the more she couldn't help but be nice to you.
"Don't make a fuss, I don't believe Xiu Ning didn't tell you. ”
Zhuo Xiuran smiled, sat next to Gu Jiawei, and leisurely peeled oranges for her.
"Of course I know, you've been taking care of my brother and my mom. I left school to be an exchange student, which was actually a good thing for me and for my family. It has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to take my family as your responsibility. ”
It can make her feel like she needs to be taken care of, but that's just the mood of two people. But if she is taken care of to such a point, then he will be too useless. He wanted to be strong enough to let her know that he was someone she could rely on.
"But I couldn't get over it. Because you and I won Xu Liyi and got our current position. But your life has been messed up by me. I know what you're planning on, and I even know you've already received offers from several companies. A high degree is not something you are after, you just want to take care of your family. You are a good boy, you respect your mentor and don't want to hurt his concern, so you agreed to come out in exchange. But in the end, all these changes are because of that incident......"
Gu Jia's voice faded before he spoke, and the kiss that day seemed to be still warm.
"Gu Jiawei, you really think too much, there is nothing that can be traced back to such a distant place. Chase further, should I blame my dad, why did he leave so early and throw me so much mess. Or that my mother shouldn't have married my father, a poor bastard, she was one of the few female college students back then, but she married my father, a poor soldier from a peasant background. ”
Listening to some complaining words, Zhuo Xiuran's face was calm, and he didn't complain.
Talking about the embarrassment at home, but his face was calm, such Zhuo Xiuran made Gu Jiawei suddenly feel unspeakably distressed.
If it weren't for Xu Liyi, she wouldn't know Zhuo Xiuran's family situation at all, and she would always treat him as an ordinary college student. Ever since she learned about the situation and had contact with his family, she regretted more and more that she was not good enough to him at that time, and she couldn't help but want to make amends.
Perhaps the wine he had drunk at the cocktail party earlier finally came up, and Gu Jiawei turned sideways and hooked Zhuo Xiuran's neck. The orange in Zhuo Xiuran's hand smashed on the coffee table with a bang.
"Don't reject me, I just want to make up for my guilt. After so many years in this circle, I prided myself on being right, but that day, I didn't know how to get dizzy. ”
What she felt sorry for in her heart was never Zhuo Xiuran, but her principles of doing things all the time, and her proud self.
She couldn't imagine what would have happened if the object of that day had not been Zhuo Xiuran? Did she open the door to a new world and become a woman like Xu Liyi? That was a node, but also a hurdle, so it became a knot in her heart, and she refused to untie it for a long time.
Zhuo Xiuran hugged Gu Jiawei with her backhand, and coaxed her in a low voice: "You are not for the project, nor are you for winning Xu Liyi." It's that the person who happened to be me that day, and you smoked again and got dizzy. I know you're not just a casual person, you just like me too, so you want to be close to me. ”
Zhuo Xiuran, who had a black belly, slapped a rake, and guided the dizzy Gu Jiawei to think that she liked her first.
Compared with those dark thoughts, it seems to be closer because you like it, and it is more acceptable.
Gu Jiawei easily accepted this setting, she nodded vigorously, and her soft face rubbed indiscriminately between Zhuo Xiuran's neck.
Such obedience made it difficult for Zhuo Xiuran to control. He held Gu Jiawei's face and kissed it without refusal.
