Gu Xiuyi has always been busy, and most of the time he lives in the apartment closest to the company. If it wasn’t for Ji Ruan, he wouldn’t have set foot in this villa for ten days and half a month.
The only purpose of coming here today is to meet this future partner with my own eyes and take him to receive the certificate.
He clearly knew Ji Ruan, but he still called his name in a questioning tone, the meaning was more like confirming a fact to Ji Ruan than greeting him: Are you sure, are you willing to marry me
?
But the young man in front of him seemed to be still in a daze, looking at him with big eyes, his hands resting on the edge of the bed, motionless.
Gu Xiuyi waited for a while, but didn’t even hear a “hmm”, he couldn’t help but frowned, reached out and tapped the young man’s shoulder: “Ji Ruan?” The
shoulder blades under his fingertips trembled, Ji Ruan seemed to have just recovered, Picking up a small black thing on the table and putting it on, she pursed her lips and lowered her eyelashes to feel it for a while, then raised her eyes to look over, her eyes were much clearer.
Gu Xiuyi was taken aback, he had never had direct contact with hearing-impaired people, and Ji Ruan looked so normal on the surface that he forgot for a moment, Ji Ruan didn’t answer, probably because he couldn’t hear clearly.
He relaxed a little, bent down to shorten the distance between the two, raised his hand to brush away the broken hair on the side of Ji Ruan’s ear, before he could see it clearly, the hair slipped out from between his fingers.
The young man leaned back slightly and looked straight at him without hesitation: “I can hear you now.”
His voice was hoarse, like mixing fine sand into soft warm water, much quieter than Rong Li’s appearance.
Gu Xiuyi was a little surprised, but didn’t show it on his face, he straightened up: “Okay, have you brought all your documents?” “
…I have all my ID card and household registration book.”
Gu Xiuyi nodded and looked directly at Ji Ruan: “Let me confirm again , you married me voluntarily, right?”
It was related to the environment in which he grew up, Gu Xiuyi had an innate sense of oppression, even if he spoke politely, it was difficult to make people feel friendly.
Ji Ruan and him looked at each other, and their palms were sweating involuntarily: “As long as Mr. Gu fully fulfills the contract, there will be no problem.”
Although it is difficult to see Gu Xiuyi’s emotions through his expression, Ji Ruan keenly feels that he should be very satisfied with this sentence.
The man in front of him raised his hand and glanced at his watch, his tone slightly lowered: “It’s getting late, let’s go down to eat first, and get the certificate tomorrow morning.” The tone was normal, as if he was explaining his work to the secretary. Maybe in his opinion, getting a marriage
certificate It’s really no different than doing an ordinary job.
“…Okay, but,” Ji Ruan tugged at his collar, “May I change first?”
He was wearing pure cotton beige pajamas, because he likes to be comfortable, he chose a large size, and the neckline was also tight. Large, exposing a large collarbone.
Gu Xiuyi’s gaze stayed on the snow-white skin on the young man’s chest for a moment, then glanced over again, nodded lightly, turned and left, and cordially led him to the door.
In the evening, the sunlight diffused through the floor-to-ceiling windows. After Gu Xiuyi left, the whole room was completely silent. Ji Ruan relieved his pressure on the edge of the bed, his back slightly arched, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
From the first moment he saw Gu Xiuyi, a memory that didn’t belong to him was filled in his mind, as if it was supplementing the worldview in this book for him.
He had met Gu Xiuyi before!
A big capitalist like Gu Xiuyi, apart from work, is most passionate about doing charity. Ji Ruan is also one of the people who was also funded, because Gu Xiuyi was able to survive, to finish high school well, and to be admitted to the best university.
A year ago, when Gu Xiuyi went back to his alma mater to give a speech, Ji Ruan watched him from afar and fell in love with him at first sight.
The frightening thing is that Gu Xiuyi never had a person like him in his memory from the beginning to the end.
This heartbeat mixed with gratitude sent chills down Ji Ruan’s back.
He finally understood why the protagonist Shou, who was such a persevering little white flower who looked down on others and had no ambitions, would agree to marry Gu Xiuyi by agreement.
Because he was tempted first!
The eternal law in ancient abuse texts, whoever is tempted first will be abused.
According to the cousin, this book is only a little sweet at the beginning, Gu Xiuyi’s polite gentleman will make him more and more unable to extricate himself, from the time Bai Yueguang comes back, he will be abused from the inside to the outside, from body to mind.
He would hope that Gu Xiuyi would have a little sincerity towards him, but at the same time worry about gains and losses, and finally collect the three-piece set of kidnapping, car accident, amnesia, and finally he.
Ji Ruan doesn’t know the specific plot, but she will always remember her cousin’s last comment: the reason why this book can be hew is probably because if it doesn’t end, medical miracles can’t be saved.
At that time, Ji Ruan was just complaining, the paper man was able to toss, wouldn’t it be good to live well, why did he have to trade his health for some sadomasochistic scenes?
Ji Ruan, who is now the main character himself, had a heart beating wildly, and took several deep breaths before barely recovering.
Thinking about it carefully, everything started from the untimely heartbeat of the protagonist, but now that the protagonist is replaced by Ji Ruan, he has no feelings for Gu Xiuyi, isn’t that the prerequisite for sadomasochism?
Ji Ruan got up slowly, thinking while changing clothes, as long as there is no real affection, the relationship between him and Gu Xiuyi will only stay in a simple money transaction, when Bai Yueguang comes back, he takes the money and leaves, everyone can have a happy ending.
He is a person who has died once and has no need for feelings. As long as he does not experience the despair of dying again, nothing else matters.
After thinking this through, Ji Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, put on his trousers, opened the door and walked downstairs.
When the contract expires in three years, he must take the money and run away, never looking back.
The hanging lamp in the dining room emitted low-key bright light, Gu Xiuyi had already sat down at the dining table, when he saw Ji Ruan approaching, he stood up and opened the chair opposite for him.
He is indeed a gentleman, but can this kind of gentlemanly behavior full of politeness and alienation really make the protagonist feel deeply rooted in love step by step and unable to extricate himself?
Ji Ruan’s heart is complicated and difficult to understand.
He thanked him politely, and sat opposite Gu Xiuyi.
Song Tezhu didn’t know when he left, and Aunt Zhao disappeared. The two of them were left in the restaurant, so quiet that only the sound of tableware colliding could be heard.
On the table was simple Chinese home cooking, three dishes and one soup, which was enough for him and Gu Xiuyi.
Ji Ruan was very hot a few days ago, and his appetite has not been very good, he ate without interest, Gu Xiuyi didn’t speak, he just happened to be happy and at ease.
He didn’t care about the person opposite, but the opposite was observing him blatantly.
Gu Xiuyi just needs a legal partner who can get a certificate, and he doesn’t care about this marriage from the bottom of his heart. As long as he is sure that Ji Ruan won’t cause trouble, he won’t bother to understand it.
But when a marriage partner who has never met before sits in front of him, curiosity is driven by instinct.
What surprised Gu Xiuyi was that Ji Ruan ate unusually well, his shoulders were naturally relaxed when he sat up straight, he chewed and swallowed without making a sound, like a child raised by a scholarly family.
Wipe the mouth as Song Ling said, after folding the paper towel in half, gently wipe from the left corner of the mouth to the right.
Gu Xiuyi watched casually, and found that Song Ling had missed something, and Ji Ruan would press his lips with a tissue at the end, ending the action like a ritual.
Ordinary people might not pay attention to these subconscious little habits, but in the eyes of Gu Xiuyi, who is a fuzzy detail control, it is an important condition for him to be satisfied.
Perhaps it can also indirectly become one of the basis for judging the monthly bonus of the entire secretary group.
Ji Ruan put down his chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls, met Gu Xiuyi’s gaze suddenly, and froze for a moment, but the other party spoke naturally: “Aunt Zhao also said that you don’t eat much, is it not to your liking?” “…No,
” Ji Ruan licked her lips, “I’ve always eaten less.”
He didn’t want to have too much communication with Gu Xiuyi for the time being, and after throwing the used napkin into the trash can, he thought about it: “May I go back to my room first, Mr. Gu?
” Pause for two seconds, nodded: “Go.”
As if thinking of something, he added: “I won’t come here often, you don’t have to be too cautious, there are not so many rules at home.”
Ji Ruan, who didn’t feel that she was cautious: “…”
“Okay…thank you, Mr. Gu.”
After
eating, Ji Ruan lay back on the bed and continued to feed himself cherries with the beckoning cat whose paws had been removed. It wasn’t that he was really lazy.
Really, because it’s so boring.
The only task he came to this house was to obtain a marriage certificate with Gu Xiuyi. He originally thought that he could finish the matter on the same day, but he didn’t expect Mr. Gu to be so busy, and he waited for three days.
Ji Ruan had to stay in a small ward when he was seriously ill before, but now he can walk and move, and it is still difficult to go out. As soon as he took a foot, he was scared back by the scorching temperature outside.
So while waiting for Gu Xiuyi to come home, he could only eat and sleep, and changed his bed by the way.
Ji Ruan swallowed a few cherries, belatedly remembered that she should have finished watching the previous drama, and just sat up to pick up the remote control when she was startled by the big cat by the door.
Xiao An was squatting on the ground and looking at him.
From the first day when Ji Ruan came here, Ji Ruan vaguely felt that Gu Xiuyi was an extremely picky person who couldn’t make ends meet-the huge villa, all the furniture, picture frames, and handicrafts were arranged neatly and meticulously, and he raised such a big long-haired dog Hairy cats, but almost no cat hair can be seen on the ground, and they are always shining.
Just like the Maine Coon cat that Xiao An is squatting in front of the door now, the fur of the big tail is spread out softly on the ground, like a work of art in an oil painting-except for the vigilant eyes.
Maine’s face is naturally handsome and noble, and Gu Xiuyi’s appearance is even better among them, but his personality is unexpectedly timid and clingy, and he rarely shows such a vigilant look.
Ji Ruan put down the remote control, pushed away the lucky cat on the small table, and wanted to play with Xiaoan.
Xiao An didn’t know what he saw, and suddenly arched his back and raised his tail, and ran away with a whimper. The whole process took less than a second.
Leaving Ji Ruan sitting on the edge of the bed dumbly, he could even feel the wind from the big tail on his calf.
After a long while, Ji Ruan turned his head stiffly, realizing that the one who frightened Xiao An like this seemed to be the beckoning cat whose paws were removed by him.
“…”
This stupid cat won’t treat the Lucky Cat as the same kind, right?
It doesn’t think that Ji Ruan also wants to remove its claws, does it? !
Shocked, Ji Ruan walked out of the room with his slippers on. Sure enough, he saw Xiao An hiding at the end of the corridor, and he was speechless: “Gu Xiuyi, how did he raise such a timid cat…”
He tried to take two steps forward, The cowardly cat immediately jumped up and jumped onto the railing of the corridor.
This action made Ji Ruan’s heart tremble.
The height of the second floor is not low. Although cats seem to be born with the ability to fly over eaves and walls, Xiaoan’s body size really doesn’t look like he can jump down and land as light as a swallow.
Gu Xiuyi was still holding a video conference in the study a few meters away, Ji Ruan couldn’t make a big fuss.
And in this family, Xiaoan is an aborigine, he is just a foreigner, if something happens, there will be a lot of trouble, Ji Ruan has a headache thinking about it.
After thinking for two seconds, Ji Ruan resolutely left and brought back a can of Xiaoan’s favorite cat food to seduce.
Xiao An was a little wary at first, but when he smelled it, he forgot everything and started eating with relish.
At the end of the meal, Ji Ruan could even lick its head.
Ji Ruan couldn’t laugh or cry.
How did a person like Gu Xiuyi raise such a cuddly cat…
Xiao An enjoyed eating and being rubbed very well. When Ji Ruan took away the empty cans, she received a loving hug from Xiao An.
Just like every time when Gu Xiuyi came home, Xiao An would jump happily, Ji Ruan was thrown in the face.
But he was not prepared at all, nor was he as strong as Gu Xiuyi.
“Boom!”
There was a loud noise.
A large cat weighing several tens of kilograms fell from the sky, and it effortlessly pushed Ji Ruan to the floor, stirring up cat hair all over the place.
The moment Ji Ruan landed on the ground, Ji Ruan’s shoulders and back hit the ground with a muffled sound of vibration, which almost knocked out his soul, and caused severe pain in his back and ribs.
For a few seconds, Ji Ruan’s mind went blank, and only one thought remained-fortunately, fortunately, he didn’t climb over the railing.
Xiao An was also enthusiastically lying on Ji Ruan’s body and licking his neck. Ji Ruan was so crushed that he couldn’t get up and down his throat, and couldn’t make a sound. He raised his hand to push the big cat away, but he couldn’t !
Ji Ruan wants to cry but has no tears.
When he was helpless, his chest suddenly lightened, and the weight on his body disappeared, as if someone had slipped little Anti aside.
Ji Ruan blinked to see clearly, but fresh air suddenly poured into his squeezed chest cavity, choking him to the ground and coughing.
Gu Xiuyi knew something was wrong when he heard the sudden ping-pong-pong outside after the meeting, so he rushed out and saw that there were cats and people all over the corridor.
Ji Ruan’s face was flushed red from the pressure, but his stupid cat kept clinging to her and wanted to make out.
Holding Xiao An by the back of the neck, Gu Xiuyi slid the big cat to the wall to face it. Looking back at Ji Ruan, who was still lying on the ground coughing terribly, he was in trouble.
Gu Xiuyi doesn’t like to have physical contact with people, and he can only pick up cats, but he has never picked up people.
He stared at Ji Ruan’s back for a while, then subconsciously reached out to Ji Ruan’s neck as usual, trying to pull him up from the ground.
But as soon as his hand touched the smooth nape of the neck, Ji Ruan suddenly turned around as if frightened, coughing and staring at him in horror, as if he was some kind of hypocrite who took advantage of others.
Gu Xiuyi’s hands froze, and he slowly stood up straight and took two steps back.
In the air where the cat’s fur was suspended, there was a silent eye confrontation with Ji Ruan.
Soon Gu Xiuyi calmed down and returned to his usual appearance first, without looking at Ji Ruan’s face, he grabbed his arm and carried him downstairs like a sack.
Ji Ruan was dizzy until she was moved to the sofa and sat down. Aunt Zhao, who heard the news, gulped her down several times before recovering.
He pressed his chest and coughed twice, then turned his head to look at Gu Xiuyi.
The man looked stern, and sat beside him with his legs crossed, with a male distance of just one person between them.
Ji Ruan: “…”
Ji Ruan inexplicably felt that Gu Xiuyi was issuing a domineering silent protest against what happened just now.
The back of his hand was cold, Ji Ruan turned his head, and Xiao An, who was thrown by Gu Xiuyi to face the wall, came down at some point, and was licking his hand to be good.
Ji Ruan rubbed Xiao An’s head angrily, and weighed it with the cat’s paw.
Gu Xiuyi watched coldly from the side, feeling that this kid was very concerned about his cat’s weight.
“Cough,” Gu Xiuyi coughed, and said flatly, “The last time I measured it was 20 catties, and it might be a little bit like this these two days.”
Ji Ruan slowed down as he stroked the cat.
Suddenly he looked up at Gu Xiuyi: “You…what did you say?”
He seemed to be unable to hear clearly.
Gu Xiuyi’s face changed subtly.
Apart from anything else, he lifted the hair covering Ji Ruan’s right ear, and the little thing he had been wearing behind his ear was gone.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhao also worried, “Oh, what’s the matter?”
Gu Xiuyi glanced at Ji Ruan’s frowning brows, and said to Aunt Zhao, “Do you know the cochlear implant he usually wears?” Aunt
Zhao hurriedly said: “I know, I think Xiao Ruan has worn it.”
Gu Xiuyi nodded: “Okay, maybe I lost it just now, Aunt Zhao, please go to the stairs and find it quickly.” “
Hey, I’ll go right away!” Aunt Zhao kept saying Replied.
Ji Ruan’s fingers were already twisted together, her head was hanging down, and the sofa was only less than one-third full, in a posture of restraint and panic.
He is not a child with extroverted emotions, and he doesn’t see the vigor of an eighteen-year-old student in his eyes, so he is extraordinarily quiet and restrained. This was originally what Gu Xiuyi was most satisfied with.
Even the look back at him in the corridor was only a short moment of panic, so the long and quiet panic now seemed all the more abrupt.
Ji Ruan changed into a black T-shirt before dinner, her exposed arms were very thin, her fingers were very white, and Xiao An’s hair was all stained on her clothes and hair, making her look a bit embarrassed.
Gu Xiuyi couldn’t bear to see the messy things, so he brushed off the cat’s fur with his hands.
After all, he is still a child who has just grown up, his stature is not full, and his shoulders are extremely thin. It is normal to be a little emotional.
He thought for a while, then patted Ji Ruan on the back lightly: “It’s okay, just wait for a while.”
Ji Ruan paused, but didn’t answer, Gu Xiuyi realized that he might still not hear clearly, so he couldn’t help but hesitate. Say no more.
Aunt Zhao moved swiftly, and quickly found Ji Ruan’s external device: “It should have slipped out from the gap in the railing. I picked it up on the first floor. I don’t know if it’s broken?” Aunt Zhao spoke quickly, and Ji
Ruan In fact, I didn’t quite hear what she said, so I thanked her happily.
Gu Xiuyi’s eyes lit up when he saw Ji Ruan took it with both hands.
He wiped the shell carefully, then put it back behind his ears, pursing his lips as if he was feeling something carefully.
Time passed slowly, Gu Xiuyi looked at Ji Ruan’s trembling eyelashes, and felt a little nervous when he was drawn by his focused expression.
Ji Ruan raised his head to look at him for a long while, his eyes were sparkling, and the eye sockets had not completely disappeared from the redness of the cough, making this expression look sad.
Gu Xiuyi felt a bad feeling in his heart.
In the next second, the boy’s hoarse voice was full of surprise: “It’s broken?”
