Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows.
The tomorrow Mr. Gu talks about is never the real tomorrow.
Ji Ruan fell asleep right after returning home, and it was already evening when she woke up, the sky was covered with light clouds, and only Aunt Zhao was busy in the kitchen in the villa.
She stewed a pot of sparerib soup, and Ji Ruan could smell the rich aroma even without taking off the lid.
Xiao An was dozing off by the stairs in the basement, and when she saw Ji Ruan, she immediately regained her spirits, shaking her big fluffy tail and wanted to pounce on him, but braked a second before hitting Ji Ruan, and rubbed against Ji Ruan stickily with her head. Nguyen’s calf.
Not like a Maine Coon cat, but more like a big, goofy dog.
“Why do you suddenly become sensible today?” Ji Ruan was surprised, she rolled her eyes with a smile and stretched out her hand to stroke the cat.
The floor-to-ceiling windows behind them were filled with the setting sun and the green trees outside the building, forming a picture in the frame. The light-colored and soft hair of the Maine Coon cat was dotted with golden light, and the white fingers of the young man were also fully included in the picture.
Aunt Zhao was setting up the dishes, she didn’t even think about seeing this scene, she wiped her hands and quietly took a picture.
“Little Gu gave it a special education before he left, and now it’s very obedient.” She said with a smile.
“Really?” Ji Ruan walked to the kitchen counter and helped Aunt Zhao get the bowl, “How did you train me, Mr. Gu is so good.
” I understand what he did, anyway, after two or three slaps, Xiao An will be submissive.” Aunt
Zhao spoke quickly and her voice was high-pitched, she was always beaming when she spoke, she was a middle-aged woman who was happy about everything she did.
Ji Ruan actually didn’t care much about what Gu Xiuyi did, but every time he stayed with Aunt Zhao, it seemed that the air was infected by the happiness factor in her and became full of vitality. Ji Ruan liked to stick with this kind of elders.
Whenever Ji Ruan showed interest in Aunt Zhao’s words, she would say more happily.
For example, now, with a faint smile on Ji Ruan’s face, she praised “Mr. Gu is awesome”, and Aunt Zhao laughed brightly as if honored:
“Isn’t that right? Xiao Gu decided to educate you because you were covered in bruises all over your body by that stupid cat. Before that, he would have been reluctant.” Ji Ruan walked to the restaurant with Aunt Zhao, carrying a plate of dishes
.
“However, Xiaoan’s cat likes to jump at people since he was a child. He used to be small and let him go. Now that he is so big, he should take care of it. Otherwise, if he takes it out for a walk in the future, people will think I am walking a dog. “
Ji Ruan was amused by Aunt Zhao’s mouth, opened the chair and sat down, took out the chopsticks and handed them to Aunt Zhao.
When Gu Xiuyi was not at home, they all sat and ate together.
“Hey,” Ji Ruan’s long reflex arc turned a big circle, and then he remembered: “Has Mr. Gu left?” “Yeah, I went to
work again-ouch! Look at me,” Aunt Zhao said. He slapped his forehead, “I was so busy talking to you that I forgot about business. Xiao Gu asked me to tell you that he is going on a business trip tomorrow, and when he will get his certificate depends on when he comes back.” “That’s it…” Ji Ruan nodded
.
It turns out that Mr. Gu’s tomorrow refers to the day when he is free.
·
In the next two days, Ji Ruan lived a life of eating, sleeping, and eating, playing with Xiao An when he had nothing to do, and when he went shopping with Aunt Zhao, he even took a pot of spider plants back to raise.
There is nothing else, but I have improved my complexion.
On the third day of Gu Xiuyi’s business trip, Ji Ruan received a WeChat message while having breakfast, which was sent by a person named Han Xiaolin.
Ji Ruan held the phone in doubt for a second, a spark popped in his mind, and a face with single eyelids, pointed chin and big white teeth appeared in his mind.
Then, all the memories about this person were activated.
He should be Ji Ruan’s only friend in this world. In my impression, at the later stage of the plot of the original book, when he and Gu Xiuyi “fleeing and chasing” are torturing to death, they all rely on this friend to help them survive.
A real friend in need.
Messages popped out one after another on the phone screen.
[Hey bro! ! come on! ! Take a look at my admission letter! ! ]
[Front view.jpg]
[Rear view.jpg]
[Unboxing video.mp4]
[I can actually get the notification letter from Beijing University, we are alumni again! ! ]
[Come out and play! Let me show off the real thing myself, quick! ! The old place is waiting for you! ! ]
Ji Ruan burst out laughing at this series of news, inexplicably feeling familiar, as if the other party is really a good friend he has known for a long time, not just a cold npc in the book.
Even seeing the “old place” in the news, I can immediately think of a small noodle shop outside the No. 14 High School.
Neither this middle school nor this noodle shop existed in his original world, but they did appear in his mind and became a clear memory.
Ji Ruan put down her phone, looked at Aunt Zhao who was picking vegetables, and couldn’t suppress the smile on her face: “Aunt Zhao, I want to go out later.” Aunt Zhao was happy when she saw
Ji Ruan’s crooked eyes, coaxing Like a child: “Oh? Why are you going?”
Ji Ruan took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and said, “My classmate asked me to play.”
The last time Aunt Zhao was picked out by her classmates to play was thirty or forty years ago. Hearing the word “classmate” at the current age is like watching TV. No matter how I look at Ji Ruan, I feel soft in my heart, and said with a smile: “Then let
Uncle Zhang see you off, it’s too hot outside.”
Zhang Uncle is an old driver who has worked in Gu Xiuyi’s company all his life. He will retire in two years. Recently, his family has a grandson, so Gu Xiuyi sent him to Ji Ruan. Sometimes I can entertain my grandchildren at home.
As soon as Ji Ruan got into the car, seeing Uncle Zhang with a red face, he could feel the joy of his family’s prosperity.
In the past, Ji Ruan lived all his life, and in the best years of his life, he only saw the gray walls and white hospital beds in the hospital, but in just a few days after he came here, he saw many colorful small worlds.
Ji Ruan leaned against the car window, her heart felt a little hot, as if there was a new vitality surging.
The Fourteenth Middle School is a national key school, an old and famous school, with a small park area, built in a downtown area, and the small noodle restaurant opposite has also taken root for decades.
When Ji Ruan went in, Han Xiaolin, who said he would wait for him here, didn’t arrive. He sent a message saying that he met an idiot from a science class on the way and wanted to challenge him to a one-on-one match.
Ji Ruan was amused by these vivid words, found a small table to sit down, and ordered a bowl of cold cake for herself.
When Han Xiaolin arrived, Ji Ruan had just eaten half of the cold cake. The boy in front of him was the same as in his memory, with thin arms and legs and not tall, but he was very energetic.
“Yo, it’s time to eat.” Han Xiaolin sat down opposite Ji Ruan, looked at Ji Ruan twice, suddenly said “huh”, then reached out to pull Ji Ruan’s hair: “You have to take care of your hair recently Already?”
Ji Ruan hid back, “What are
you taking care of, I’m not a little girl.” “But your hair quality has improved, it used to be dry and yellow, but now it’s resilient!” Han Xiaolin said in surprise, more carefully He looked at Ji Ruan carefully, and said “Wow” several times: “No, why does he look better now, what’s the good thing to hide?” “Something happened.”
Ji Ruan held his chin, Stir the jelly with a spoon.
Unlike Han Xiaolin’s bluffing appearance, Ji Ruan did everything slowly, and also spoke, with a slightly hoarse voice and a long tail, as if the air around him was cooler than other places.
“I don’t know if it’s a good thing.”
“What do you mean?” Han Xiaolin didn’t turn his head, and he couldn’t understand Ji Ruan’s words.
Ji Ruan thought about it secretly. Gu Xiuyi had repeatedly stated that their marriage was completely open. Even Ji Ruan faintly felt that Gu Xiuyi wanted to publicize it in a high-profile way. Then there should be no problem telling Han Xiaolin.
He looked at Han Xiaolin: “I’m getting married.”
“…”
Han Xiaolin sat stiffly on the spot, first petrified for a few seconds, then began to touch his face, head, ears and cheeks in a Keyun style, and finally supported the table with a complicated expression:
“Wh- What’s the situation, when did you fall in love, and why did you get married?!” “Have
you figured it out Ji Ruan, don’t be fooled!” “
–No, who is that person?!”
The old TV in the shop turned on Then, Ji Ruan saw a familiar figure inside, holding the spoon and pointing at him casually: “He.”
Han Xiaolin turned his head abruptly.
The local news is broadcasting, and the hostess’s emotionless voice echoes in the store-
“Yesterday, Mr. Gu Xiuyi, the current chairman of the Gu Group, attended the Lingzhou new product launch conference and expanded his new business territory at the speed of a ghost, he said …”
There was no air conditioner in the store, so the boss moved a big electric fan to blow on his head.
Han Xiaolin turned his head in the strong wind: “Ji Ruan, you’re crazy-!”
Gu
‘s Group Headquarters.
When Gu Xiuyi returned to the office, he thought the sunlight from the whole row of floor-to-ceiling windows was glaring, so he pressed the remote control to automatically close the curtains, and the river scenery and ancient buildings that could be overlooked outside the window were never the scenery he liked to watch.
He poured himself a glass of water and leaned back on the sofa a little tiredly.
After finishing work, Gu Xiuyi finally had a moment to relax, and finally had time to plan on getting married.
But for Ji Ruan, he was a little uncertain at first.
Originally, he should have obtained the certificate three days ago, and then used this press conference to publicize the news to everyone.
But he changed his plans that day.
It was the first time that Gu Xiuyi gave up his plan because of others.
He recalled Ji Ruan’s appearance, he was very weak and weak, that child looked so pitiful, facing a child with this appearance, one would have compassion.
It’s just that it’s definitely not a good thing to put this kind of emotion on Gu Xiuyi, if because of a little sympathy, he can relax the requirements and change the plan for Ji Ruan again and again, then the follow-up troubles will be obvious.
After calming down, he rationally told Gu Xiuyi that he needs to think carefully whether he should really marry Ji Ruan.
He even thought about asking Song Ling to look for another candidate.
It’s just that the idea was dismissed as soon as it came up.
His secretarial team is very professional. Ji Ruan, who has been selected from thousands of people, is first-class in terms of character and education. Even a family with both parents dead and no relatives and friends is a stroke of genius. There will be no one better than him. A more suitable person.
Or take ten thousand steps back, from the most superficial point of view, looking at anyone after seeing Ji Ruan’s face is quite boring.
The empty office was dark and gloomy, and the glass water cup was slowly turning between the slender hands.
During the few days of Gu Xiuyi’s business trip, Aunt Zhao sent him a lot of photos, all of them were Ji Ruan, without exception, the angles were wrong and the composition was completely absent, but they were all beautiful.
I heard Aunt Zhao said that Ji Ruan still raised a plant of grass at home, and put it on the small balcony of his room. Gu Xiuyi had seen the photos, and it was well grown, lush and green.
The grass is grown, and Xiao An also likes him very much…
Gu Xiuyi tapped the wall of the cup twice quickly with his index finger, as if he had made some kind of decision, and called Song Ling.
In fact, what is that little pity, it’s just fleeting.
Maybe it’s just because he has never been in contact with a child like Ji Ruan, and he will get used to it after a long time. It’s not a big deal at all, so there’s no need to worry about it.
When Song Ling arrived at the office, the curtains had been reopened, and the whole room was brightly lit. Gu Xiuyi sat at the desk and read the documents, but he didn’t lift his head when he heard him coming: “Go and pick Ji Ruan over here, and bring your ID.”
Song Ling said: “Aunt Zhao sent me a message just now, saying that he has gone out.”
Gu Xiuyi raised his head, “Where did he go?” “
… I didn’t ask.”
Gu Xiuyi rubbed the pen in his hand: “Let Lao Zhang pick it up.” , you go and bring his ID card here.”
Song Ling asked: “Are you going to bring him to get the ID card? But there will be a meeting later.”
Gu Xiuyi’s eyes moved, as if he had forgotten about it, he lowered his head to think After a while, he still insisted: “Pick him up and wait here for a while.” After hearing this,
Song Ling stopped retorting and said, “Okay, I’ll do it right away.” ” –Song
Ling.”
Stopped, Song Ling turned around: “What?”
Gu Xiuyi looked calm: “Do you have Ji Ruan’s WeChat?”
“Ah?” The topic changed so quickly that Song Ling didn’t react for a moment, and was stunned for two seconds: “Yes… Of course.”
Gu Xiuyi nodded, and buried it in the file again:
“Send it to me.”
Buzzing
–
a friend request popped up on Ji Ruan’s phone.
Han Xiaolin on the opposite side is still immersed in the death cycle of “Ji Ruan is crazy or I am crazy”.
Ji Ruan said “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Han Xiaolin said: “
Hmph, who? Your boss Gu?”
Ji Ruan nodded.
Han Xiaolin rolled his eyes: “You only need WeChat when you are married? Do you usually have a good relationship? Ji Ruan, are you okay!” Ji Ruan’s voice was still light, and he
clicked to agree to the application, “I said we are married by agreement.”
It turned out that Gu Xiuyi’s profile picture is Xiao An, much smaller than now, is it when he just brought him home? Just like the little tiger in the Q version.
Han Xiaolin: “…”
Han Xiaolin was burning with anxiety: “Ji Ruan, what novels have you read recently? You can’t be presumptuous just because you are admitted to university! Why don’t we go home and read textbooks, and receive more socialism?” Ji
Ruan Ruan raised his head, revealing a round smile: “Why don’t you believe it?”
[Gu Xiuyi: Where is it? ]
Ji Ruan lowered his head and typed on the keyboard.
[Playing outside with my classmates, at No. 14 Middle School. ]
It took a few minutes to return there.
[Gu Xiuyi: Lao Zhang is nearby, come and pick you up immediately, we go to get the certificate. ]
Ji Ruan shook her hand, and when she saw the word “Certificate”, she suddenly had a strong feeling-this time she was really going to get married.
He rubbed his fingers and typed: [Aren’t you on a business trip? ]
[Gu Xiuyi: I just came back. ]
“Ji Ruan…” Han Xiaolin looked sad, “It’s really not a question of whether I believe it or not, it’s a question of whether I need to send you to see a doctor. Be sober!
” She had a pretty smile on her face, but she didn’t get along with Han Xiaolin anymore.
He raised his hand to beckon the boss to come over, and ordered a three-liang bowl of beef noodles with meat and coriander.
Han Xiaolin was shocked: “You eat so much?”
“I ordered it for you, don’t you like the beef noodles from this restaurant the most?” Ji Ruan said with a smile.
Han Xiaolin was suddenly overwhelmed by flattery: “Ah? Then, what, really invite me to eat? Why?”
One must know that Ji Ruan can be searched for, usually he is invited for one or two at most, and it is absolutely impossible to add meat!
After Ji Ruan settled the bill, he held his chin with an innocent expression on his face: “I’m going to get the certificate later, you can eat slowly, I have to go first.”
Han Xiaolin’s small eyes slowly stretched to the extreme, A lunatic is reflected in the pupil.
In the next second, he watched helplessly as the lunatic got up, walked out of the shop, and got into a top-end luxury car on the street.
It’s like taking a pair of gold-rimmed shoes out of the mud and stepping into the clouds.
Han Xiaolin finally believed it…
He stood up slowly, messing around in the strong wind of the noodle restaurant’s powerful fans.
·
Han Xiaolin, 18 years old, a poor high school graduate, on the first day he received the university notice, he had a friend who became a rich man!
This wealthy lady named Ji Ruan even treated him to a bowl of beef noodles with meat and coriander!
At this moment, in Han Xiaolin’s eyes, the exhaust fumes of the Mercedes-Benz that drove away were all golden exhaust fumes!
——————–
The author has something to say:
Ruan Ruan: What does it mean to invite a rich man to eat beef noodles? I’m spending my own money!
