Chapter 208 Tangled
Gu Ning opened the thousand paper cranes, closed them with just one look, she seemed to be greatly shocked, took a step back, and happened to hit the cabinet behind her.
The cabinet was supposed to be placed in the back corner of the classroom, but I don't know who placed it in the aisle between the seats, Gu Ning retreated too quickly, and the back of her head hit the thick wood unprepared, and she exclaimed in pain.
Jiang Chi helplessly reached out and dragged her back, covered the back of her head with his broad palm, frowned and pressed gently, "Crashed into here?" Seeing Gu Ning nodding with tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, it's not bulging, it should be fine." ”
He pulled Gu Ning out of the classroom and sat down on the stone bench under the tree, "You wait here for me for a while." After settling Gu Ning, Jiang Chi left in a hurry.
Gu Ning covered the back of her head, looked down at the thousand paper cranes opened in her hand, and was annoyed to find that because it hurt too much just now, she subconsciously tightened her hand, and the fragile paper had been crushed by her.
Jiang Chi borrowed an ice pack from the school infirmary, and when he came back, he saw Gu Ning hanging his head and staring at the shredded paper in his hand in a daze, his eyes were full of remorse, he paused for a moment, and gently pressed the ice pack on the back of Gu Ning's head, "If it's broken, it's broken, it's not a big deal." ”
Gu Ning pursed her lips and reached out to press the ice pack herself, Jiang Chi was not reluctant, took his hand back, and sat down beside her.
The sun in the distance is sinking little by little, and the dusk light spreads out in the sky, mixed with gorgeous clouds, like a splendid end.
Gu Ning lowered her eyes, "I'm just a little surprised, I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to write ......" she thought for a while, "In that case." "How can I say it, just judging from the handwriting on the paper that is much more arrogant than now, I can think of what Jiang Chi was like at that time.
There is no such calmness as it is now, but it is a bit wild and sharp.
"Probably everyone had some black history when they were young. Jiang Chi casually looked at Gu Ning sideways, "I was ...... at that time" The long black eyelashes drooped, and the sparse light under his eyes flowed, "This kind of black history, don't tell anyone else." ”
He said it cautiously, but with a smile in his eyes and an intimate tone, this kind of behavior of taking the initiative to reveal the past made Gu Ning's heart move, and she felt that the relationship between the two was much closer, she subconsciously lowered her head and staggered the other party's gaze, "Mr. Jiang, my mouth is still very strict." ”
The smile in Jiang Chi's eyes faded, "You started calling me Mr. Jiang again." ”
"Whenever I want to shorten the distance, you will always subconsciously call me Mr. Jiang, as if this respectful title is a dividing line that can divide and make our relationship clear. Jiang said slowly, the afterglow of the setting sun was painted on his face, and the lines outlined were not strong and sharp, but Gu Ning seemed to have been stabbed, and her eyelashes trembled.
"Yes. Gu Ning said in a sullen voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't know I had this habit. ”
Jiang Chi didn't speak, he just took the scraps of paper from Gu Ning's hand and threw them into the trash can on the side, "I'm just mentioning it casually, you don't need to take it to heart, it's not too early, I'll send you back." ”
Back in the car, Gu Ning raised her eyes from time to time to look at Jiang Chi who was sitting in front of her, her mind was confused, she covered her forehead and sighed.
Jiang Chi seemed to be aware of it, he didn't look back, but said softly: "Gu Ning, does the injury on your head still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. Gu Ning hurriedly said, she couldn't stand the silent atmosphere in the car, Jiang Chi opened her mouth to speak, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, pretending that nothing had happened before, and said in a natural tone: "This is thanks to your ice pack." ”
Jiang Chi snorted, he seemed to have insight into Gu Ning's uneasy thoughts, and chatted with her without saying a word along the way, and when Gu Ning was about to get out of the car, the strange atmosphere before was completely gone, and it was back to the same as before.
Back to the past, Jiang Chi chewed on these words, and the smile on his face converged little by little after Gu Ning left, and became expressionless, and his eyebrows were cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.
Every time it was like this, as long as he wanted to break that boundary, Gu Ning's entanglement and troubles would make him unbearable to force her to face up to the relationship between the two and think about what she was thinking.
Their relationship is like a silk thread that has been pulled to the extreme, and they don't know when it will break down, and they don't know what kind of situation it will cause after it breaks.
Because of this unknown, Gu Ning tried his best to maintain the status quo, and he had to let go of the hand that tore off the thread.
Jiang Chi took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and didn't smoke it, just put it on his fingertips a few times, then extinguished it and threw it into the trash.
He has always disliked using this kind of thing to relieve depression and avoid things, he will only keep his sanity and then find a way to break the game.
Gu Ning watched Jiang Chi's car go away before closing the curtains and turning back to the sofa. She hugged her legs, curled herself up, stared at the void with a faint gaze, and only took out her mobile phone and dialed a number halfway.
"Why did you think of me?" Tang Shi on the other side of the phone quipped, "Did something happen?" She knew that with Gu Ning's character, she would never call to trouble her if something happened that had to find her.
"I ......" Gu Ning opened her mouth, her eyebrows twisted together, like a dead knot that couldn't be opened, "Do I like to avoid questions as a person?"
"Why do you think so?" Tang Shi said puzzledly: "I don't think you are a person who likes to avoid problems, and it can be seen from the steady rise of your career that people who avoid problems will not make such achievements as you." ”
When Gu Ning heard this, not only did the knot in her heart not untie, but she was even more entangled, "Then you say, why does a person who has never avoided a question avoid a question several times?"
Tang Shi's expression became serious, and her voice became stern, "Gu Ning, what happened?"
She guessed: "Could it be what Tang Yu's kid did again? No, he is not your opponent at all now...... Are you under too much pressure at work, are you sick, are you sick, is it cancer or some other terminal illness?"
Gu Ning denied: "You think too much, I'm in good health, it's just ...... There are some emotional issues that I can't figure out. She looked down at the fruit bowl on the table, for no one had eaten it for so long, and the cut fruit had oxidized and yellowed, just like her long-dead heart, without any vitality.
However, every time she thought of Jiang Chi, she really thought that the cold blood would flow agitated, and the spikes on her sharpened body would also soften, and with the other party, she would no longer think of the blood and tears in her previous life, and she would be bitter and hateful.
"Feelings?" Tang Shi hit the nail on the head and said: "You mean Jiang Chi, first of all, I congratulate you on finally realizing that what you like is Jiang Chi, and secondly, there is a message that I think I should tell you, so I should give you a wake-up call."
She said: "Ling Qianyue of Zero Zero Media, do you know?"
