"We continue to be friends as we used to."

"If one day, you realize that you like me, my arms are always open for you."

Thinking of what Xu Ruo said in the car downstairs, Zhong Qing sighed and walked out of the elevator.

"I'm only back at this time, Miss Zhong, where did you go on a date?"

Gu Xiu's voice suddenly sounded in front of him, Zhong Qing subconsciously raised his head, saw the man in front of him leaning against the door of his house, pointed to the watch on his wrist, and raised his chin at himself.

"Y-Why are you here?"

When Zhong Qing saw Gu Xiu's face, she remembered the kiss in the Tianqi bar that day, and an inexplicable flush climbed up her cheeks, and she unconsciously took a step back.

"Why am I here?" Gu Xiu pointed to the house opposite Zhong Qing's house that was moving furniture, and announced confidently: "From today onwards, I will move to the opposite of you, and I will be neighbors in the future, please take care of me!" ”

Zhong Qing pursed her lips and took out the key to open the door without saying a word, but Gu Xiu blocked the door, just not letting Zhong Qing enter the house.

"Gu Xiu, don't make trouble." Zhong Qing turned his head and couldn't look directly into Gu Xiu's eyes. She wouldn't be so stupid, thinking that Gu Xiu moved to the opposite side of her house was some kind of coincidence, this apartment only had two households on each floor, and the reason why Gu Xiu moved here could only be because of herself.

"I've already told you, it's impossible between us."

Gu Xiu propped his right hand on the door of Zhong Qing's house, and looked at Zhong Qing with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, you don't like me, but you don't care about feelings and my willingness, as long as I am willing, I can do anything." ”

What kind of fallacy is this? Zhong Qing raised his head angrily and glared at Gu Xiu, but he was frightened by the undisguised tenderness in his eyes, and the words he originally wanted to say were swallowed back into his stomach, Zhong Qing slowly felt that his ears began to burn.

"Even if you move across from me, it won't change anything." Zhong Qing's words seemed to be self-hypnosis: "I don't like you, Gu Xiu, don't spend your mind on me." ”

"Miss Zhong, don't worry, I, Gu Xiu, am a heartless person. What's more, I'm a kind person, and my heart is so good, if there are cockroaches and rats in your house, you are welcome to knock on the door at any time to find me, of course, if you feel lonely and lonely at night, I can also help you warm your bed...... Not! ”

Zhong Qing threw the bag in Gu Xiu's face, and the latter rubbed his red lips, looking at Zhong Qing with a hippie smile.

"What? Big lady shy? Gu Xiu approached Zhong Qing's face, looked at her already red earlobes with satisfaction, and suddenly thought that Zhong Qing's neck and ears were very good-looking, and they should be very suitable for wearing light-colored earrings.

"I still remember the kiss that day...... Hiss! ”

Halfway through the words, Gu Xiu took a breath of cold air, Zhong Qing's high heels stepped on his feet, and he subconsciously took his hand away from the door in pain, Zhong Qing took the opportunity to enter the house and turn around and close the door.

Gu Xiu originally wanted to say a few words to Zhong Qing, but when he turned around, his nose touched the ash of the door, and the little brother who moved the sofa behind him seemed to be snickering, Gu Xiu touched his nose and smiled like a fool.

Wei Lan walked out of the opposite room with a list of items, and when she saw Gu Xiu staring at the door of Zhong Qing's house in a daze, she couldn't bear to disturb him and said:

"Second master, I sent someone to check nearby, and no suspicious characters appeared, and the person who followed Miss Zhong before didn't know the details, what should I do next?"

As early as after Zhong Nian and Gu Zihan's wedding, Gu Zihan was afraid that Zhong Qing would be in danger, so he always sent people to protect Zhong Qing in secret, including the company where Wei Lan personally went to Zhong Qing to work before, which was also arranged by Gu Xiu, because he heard some rumors of Zhong Qing being bullied, so he deliberately asked Wei Lan to take a look at the situation.

Although Zhong Qing had already dealt with the things in the company, not only did she not know about the things outside the company, not to mention that Gu Xiu didn't want Zhong Qing to know.

A few nobodies secretly followed Zhong Qing, they didn't know the details and were elusive, the people sent by Gu Xiu didn't catch them several times, although the group of people didn't appear in the past few days, Gu Xiu still didn't feel at ease.

Moving to the apartment opposite Zhong Qing, first, Gu Xiu wanted to protect Zhong Qing closely, and second, he had selfish intentions.

Even if the kiss in the bar that night was an accident, it was enough to give Gu Xiu a strong courage to get close to Zhong Qing, and that kiss made Gu Xiu know that Zhong Qing didn't feel anything for him, but I don't know what the reason was, Zhong Qing kept denying that he liked him.

Gu Xiu was not in a hurry to let Zhong Qing admit it, anyway, the future was long, he had already been planted in Zhong Qing's pit, and he was not ready to come out in this life.

Thinking of Zhong Qing's blushing appearance, it was so cute, Gu Xiu laughed unconsciously, Zhong Qing's face was just so close to him, he really wanted to reach out and touch her face.

"Second master?" Wei Lan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Gu Xiu's eyes, and called out again: "Second master? ”

Only then did Gu Xiu come back to his senses: "En? ”

Wei Lan said: "You see that this thing has been almost placed, and there are almost daily necessities, I will send someone to purchase it for you immediately." ”

"No need." Gu Xiu raised his hand to stop Wei Lan and said, "Let's do this first, you all go back." ”

"But the second master, there are no daily necessities here, how can you ......?"

Gu Xiu looked at the closed door of Zhong Qing's house with a smile and said, "Good neighbors are the ones who embody 'love' at this time, aren't they?" ”

Wei Lan nodded knowingly, he turned around and beckoned his subordinates to leave, handed over the key to the apartment to Gu Xiu before leaving, and made a "come on" gesture.

Gu Xiu hummed a little song and returned to the apartment, looking at the brand-new TV sofa and carpet, and casually threw his coat aside, this was the first time he had his so-called "home" since returning to Gu's house.

Before, all his life revolved around Tianqi, and even his rest was in the room on the second floor, Gu Xiu's money in his hand was not enough for him to buy a house, but he was not worried about being too far away from Tianqi.

Over the past few years, he has become accustomed to the environment of the room on the second floor of the bar, and every day by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the lively crowd on the dance floor on the first floor, his heart will inexplicably find a sense of belonging.

Watching a group of people's carnival is better than feeling the solitude of a person, Gu Xiu looked up at the renovated ceiling, and couldn't tell what it was like.

The home in his memory is still the house where he lived with his father and grandmother when he was a child, and then his grandmother died, his mother was admitted to the hospital, and the house was sold because of the first phase of treatment.

And the apartment he lives in now, although it looks luxurious, but it is empty and not a little popular, Gu Xiu opened the refrigerator and looked at it, I have to say that Wei Lan understands him, there is nothing in the entire refrigerator except beer, and the kitchen without pots and pans is clean, Gu Xiu looked around, and there was not even a paper towel to wipe his hands.

A can of cold beer in his stomach, Gu Xiu felt that his stomach was a little empty, he looked at the time and it was only a little past eight o'clock, and he took a step out of the door without hesitation.

Zhong Qing, who had just soaked a bowl of noodles, didn't have time to sit down, when she heard a knock at the door, she looked through the door, and Gu Xiu waved at her with a smile outside the door.

Zhong Qing reluctantly opened the door.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Well...... It smells so good! Gu Xiu took a deep breath, ignored Zhong Qing blocking the door and walked directly into the house, Zhong Qing chased after him, and the two of them walked all the way to the kitchen.

"Gu Xiu! What are you doing! Zhong Qing tugged at his coat and wanted him to get out quickly.

Gu Xiu ignored Zhong Qing's pull, directly picked up Zhong Qing's soaked noodle bowl, and took a deep breath:

"I've been busy all day, and I haven't even eaten a hot mouth, Miss Zhong won't be so ruthless, and she won't even be willing to give me a bowl of noodles, right?"

Gu Xiu said this, and had already picked up the noodles with chopsticks and put them in his mouth.

Zhong Qing pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but it was hard to say, she couldn't bear to look at Gu Xiu gobbling up noodles, this guy wouldn't really haven't eaten for a day, right?

Thinking so, Zhong Qing took out the canned food, cut another plate of fruit and put it in front of Gu Xiu.

"Hurry up and eat!" Zhong Qing's tone was not very good: "Go back quickly after eating." ”

Gu Xiu finished a large bowl of noodles as fast as he could, and still didn't leave his chair.

"I'm in such a hurry to drive me away, but Miss Zhong doesn't want to be responsible?"

Zhong Qing's face instantly turned red again: "You, what nonsense are you talking about!" What is not responsible, leave quickly after eating! ”

"That night, it was obviously Miss Zhong who took the initiative to give me a hug, and I had already made preparations to continue to do it, but I didn't expect Miss Zhong to be so affectionate, and she didn't recognize anyone when she turned her face."

Zhong Qing opened her mouth, her whole face was redder than a tomato, she knew that she couldn't say anything good in Gu Xiu's mouth, that unexpected kiss that day didn't even know why it happened, Gu Xiu just grabbed this question and didn't let it go, and looked like a victim, what did he want!

Gu Xiu saw that Zhong Qing's face was getting redder and redder, and his head was getting lower and lower, he was really afraid of making the eldest lady angry, so he coughed lightly twice and changed the topic:

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you."

"That kiss...... I don't know why. ”

When Gu Xiu left, he suddenly heard Zhong Qing behind him speak:

"Gu Xiu, you are so good to me, I don't know how to repay you, I don't know if I like your feelings, because you are so good to me...... I don't want to depend on you for everything. ”

Gu Xiu didn't look back, and listened to Zhong Qing continue.

"Although I don't know where I'm good enough to make you like me, I don't want to make it difficult for the people around me because of me." Zhong Qing's voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was not confident in herself: "So Gu Xiu, that kiss was an accident, I apologize to you, but I really ...... Not! ”

Zhong Qing's eyes widened, looking at Gu Xiu's face who was close at hand, and the warm touch on her lips, she couldn't believe that Gu Xiu was kissing herself.

"That kiss was an accident, this kiss wasn't." Gu Xiu said in Zhong Qing's ear: "I like you, it has nothing to do with you, Zhong Qing, you don't have to be responsible for the fact that I like you, even if you will never fall in love with me for the rest of your life, I will not leave." ”
