After listening to Gao Ran's reply, Gao Xi realized that what he thought was one thing, in Gao Ran's opinion, was actually two different things. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, this is precisely what puzzles him: in his eyes, whether it is Qiao'er now or Qiao'er in seven years, it is Qiao'er, but Gao Ran seems to look at Qiao'er in these two periods separately - although she herself knows that "they" are basically the same person......

Gao Xi didn't know if he was right to understand it this way? He didn't know why Gao Ran had such an idea?

However, fortunately, he had been with her for so long, and he had long been accustomed to her occasionally popping up some puzzling thoughts like this one.

So, drawing on his past experience, he decided that he would stop here about Qiao'er! Since he had determined that Gao Ran didn't really ignore Qiao'er, then he had nothing to worry about, just choose to believe Gao Ran!

After deciding to let go of this, in order to ease the atmosphere, Gao Xi habitually raised his hand and gently stroked Gao Ran's head twice - this is a habit he has slowly developed since he made a private agreement with Gao Ran for life. Whenever the two of them are alone, especially when he wants to get close to Gao Ran, he will unconsciously make such actions.

At first, whenever he was suddenly touched by him without warning, Gao Ran would always instinctively and quickly dodge. But when she reacted, she would always apologize to him sincerely. However, the reason will always be the same four words: "I'm not used to it." ”

Despite this, Gao Xi is willing to believe Gao Ran's reason. After all, since he knew her, until now, no one else around her except him would have behaved with her or dared to do such an affectionate act to her. In addition, she always seems to be born with an indifferent aura of "idlers do not approach", and it is normal for her to be "unaccustomed".

But even so, "unaccustomed" could not be an excuse for her to refuse his approach, and Gao Ran herself knew that since she had promised him a marriage contract, she had lost a "legitimate" reason to refuse him to approach her openly.

So, for a long time later, Gao Xi would always continue to insist on his intimate behavior that would make Gao Ran "very unaccustomed" without fear of blows, and Gao Ran, although in the first few times, she would instinctively and quickly dodge almost every time, but after being treated like this by him many times, gradually, she slowly got used to his intimate behavior.

Up to now, Gao Xi is by her side, and his intimacy with her, these have already unconsciously become as if they are a natural existence, as if he is a part of the "self" in her heart!

Perhaps, it is precisely because of this subtle change in mentality that Gao Ran now, for Gao Xi's intimate behavior towards her, she has unconsciously become accustomed to the extent that if no one reminds her, she may not even notice that he is touching her!

"Okay, let's not talk about Qiao'er. I already see what you mean. For the rest, I won't ask again. I believe in you!"

Hearing Gao Xi say this to her gently, looking at the warm smile he showed to her, Gao Ran seemed to be infected, and his heart was unconsciously warm, and he unconsciously laughed.

Late at night, Gao Xi sent Gao Ran to the gate of Qiu's mansion, and after seeing her enter the mansion, he finally turned around and left with confidence, and returned to an inn he had found in advance in the early morning that was closest to the city gate. They made an appointment, first he took care of the supplies and their horses when they went on the road tomorrow, and until tomorrow morning, they would meet at the noodle restaurant where they met today, and then stay until noon, and then go out of the city directly and meet Zhao Yi outside the city gate.

On the other side, after Gao Ran entered Qiu's mansion, he went straight to Qiu Yueze's courtyard. After entering the courtyard, he went straight to his study. She knew that as long as she hadn't returned, he would be waiting for her in the study until dawn.

It's just that if he really asks him to wait for her to that time, I'm afraid that even if the consequences will not be very serious, it will probably not make her feel too good......

Knock knock.

After Gao Ran knocked on the door twice, he didn't wait for Qiu Yueze to answer the door, so he directly pushed the door open and walked in by himself.

"Coming?"

"Knowingly asked. Why didn't you lock the door?"

"Knowingly, besides you, who else in this mansion would dare to enter and leave this place so blatantly?"

"Oh-so you left the door for me!" Gao Ran deliberately teased him.

She wouldn't have been fooled by him so easily! If he really didn't lock the door because he was worried about his subordinates, then he wouldn't be Qiu Yueze! This Heavenly Pavilion wouldn't have grown to the scale it has now!

"Cut! when I'm a three-year-old child?!" - Of course, Gao Ran would only secretly think about such thoughts in his heart.

"Huh. Being teased by Gao Ran, Qiu Yueze was not only not displeased, but was also aroused by her interest in joking with her, "Since you know, then you dare to let me wait for you for a long time?!"

"Uh......" Gao Ran knew that Qiu Yueze wasn't really angry, he just wanted to tease her. But if she doesn't cooperate well, I'm afraid that this kind of joke will not know when it will end......

"But it's not early yet! I want to go to bed early! I have to get up early tomorrow!"

After thinking about it, Gao Ran had no choice but to admit his mistake obediently, "Okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't have come back so late." You have a lot of adults, so don't be like a little girl with me, okay?"

After that, she hurriedly took advantage of the good atmosphere and quickly came to Qiu Yueze's side, grabbed the corner of his sleeve and shook it lightly - this was the first time she had been spoiled by him! To be honest, when she did this, even she didn't know if this trick would work for him?

However, Qiu Yueze's face did not show any emotion, he was just silent, and continued to look at the book in his hand as if no one was around. But, she continued to tug at the corners of his sleeve and shake endlessly—even though her shaking had clearly affected the flipping of his hand......

"Cut! It's really sullen!"—although Gao Ran couldn't say such words, it didn't prevent her from giving Qiu Yueze a fierce look. At least, she wasn't afraid to let him know, she was just upset, she was blind!

Knowing that Gao Ran was probably running out of patience, thinking that it was indeed not too early, Qiu Yueze was still a rare "reasonable" one. I saw that after he was silent for a while, he finally asked again, "Are you leaving?"

"Huh?" Gao Ran didn't understand what he meant at first, but after she stared at his emotionless side face and blinked a few times, it dawned on her!

"Hmm. After answering, Gao Ran hurriedly took out a stack of folded paper from his arms that was folded and looked a little thick, and handed it to Qiu Yueze, "This is the 'third' business I once mentioned to you, printing." ”

"Typography?"

Qiu Yueze took the stack of papers, unfolded them, and after looking at them one by one, he finally understood what Gao Ran meant.

"It's no wonder you'd say that the 'third stroke' would need to be widely available on paper before it could begin...... It seems that this is indeed the case!"

"Well, didn't I say that 'inventions' are always created out of necessity.

"It seems to me that if people don't have the need to make something like the book you're reading now, which is now so commonly disseminated on paper, produce it on a larger scale and more efficiently, so that it can be disseminated more widely, then the 'printing press,' if it is invented, is a useless invention for the vast majority of people. In their eyes, it can't be called an 'invention'.

"To put it mildly, if it is not widely needed by the people, then even if the 'printing press' is invented, it will not make money!

"That's why I'm not writing this technology down to you until now. Anyway, before that, it was given to you, and it was useless for you to hold it, and you could only keep it dry.

"That being the case, it would be better to store it in my own head. It's safer that way.

"Well, I'm prescient, right?"

"Heh!" After Qiu Yueze heard this, he deliberately ignored her, and only sneered in reply. His eyes were only fixed on the detailed description of "printing" in the few sheets.

When Gao Ran saw it, he didn't care. It's just because she herself knows the reason why he deliberately ignored her: She hasn't forgotten that the person who asked Li Lin to transfer her prenuptial agreement with Yun Jie to Qiu Yueze for safekeeping is herself! If Qiu Yueze is really not safe there, then why should she do this? But in this way, she is tantamount to slapping herself in the mouth, making it clear that she said that she refused to hand over the "printing technology" to him in advance because she was not worried about his safekeeping, and she was lying at all!
