Chapter 7
Obtaining the certificate is a physical labor, and after the completion of the process, the meal time has already passed.
When Ji Ruan was hungry, he lost his energy and huddled in the back seat of the car without any strength, but Gu Xiuyi next to him didn’t see any change, his sitting posture was still upright.
The driver has been let go by Gu Xiuyi, and Song Ling is now driving the car himself. He put on his seat belt, glanced at the rearview mirror, and asked, “How are we going now, boss?”
Gu Xiuyi glanced at his watch and asked Ji Ruan: “What do you want to eat?”
What to eat?
Ji Ruan didn’t answer right away, he was so hungry that he wanted to eat anything.
Gu Xiuyi waited for two seconds, but as expected, he did not get a response.
He was almost getting used to Ji Ruan’s obedient way of listening based on his mood, and without raising his head, he reached out to brush the hair next to Ji Ruan’s ear.
But not this time.
Ji Ruan cut it off halfway.
Gu Xiuyi raised his head, Ji Ruan grasped his wrist with two hands, each finger was beautiful, Gu Xiuyi’s complexion was already fair in most men, but Ji Ruan was still much paler than him, as if he had never been exposed to the sun before. over the sun.
Ji Ruan pursed her lips and looked a little helpless: “I heard it this time, but I haven’t thought it through yet.” “
…” Gu Xiuyi withdrew his hand and touched his wrist
subconsciously: “Then think again.”
The place Ji Ruan touched was still cold, Gu Xiuyi was a little startled, it was the first time he met someone with such a low body temperature.
…However, he didn’t have physical contact with many people.
Maybe it’s just because of his own high body temperature.
Ji Ruan leaned on the back of the chair and looked out the window for a while, then suddenly glanced at the phone, and said, “I want to eat fried chicken.”
Gu Xiuyi was also looking at the phone, and said plainly, “Don’t make trouble.”
“This…why is it a commotion?” Ji Ruan turned to face Gu Xiuyi, propping his hands on the seat: “Can’t you eat fried chicken?” Gu Xiuyi
then turned his eyes to Ji Ruan, realizing that the child seemed to be coming real.
“Don’t you feel tired?” Gu Xiuyi asked.
“No way,” Ji Ruan raised her head slightly, looking straight at Gu Xiuyi with big eyes, “Well… Maybe I ate too much, but the last time I ate it was when I was in junior high school, and now I almost can’t remember what it tasted like. “
As if he wanted to seriously discuss with Gu Xiuyi, he moved slightly, his soft hair rubbing against the back of the chair: “Can’t I be presumptuous?”
Half of these words were true and half were false. The last time Ji Ruan in the book It is unknown when he ate fried chicken, but he himself was unable to eat fried food because he had been sick all the time, so now that he has a barely healthy body, Ji Ruan was so excited that he wanted to try it.
Gu Xiuyi looked at Ji Ruan without saying a word.
Not to mention junior high school, he has lived to this age without eating fried chicken in his life, and he doesn’t understand why children nowadays are so fond of those fried foods that are heavy and not tasty.
But Ji Ruan called eating fried chicken “a little bit of presumptuousness”, so is a few pieces of cheap chicken called presumptuousness?
Thinking of this, Gu Xiuyi couldn’t say anything if he refused.
Ji Ruan is a person who usually doesn’t have much pursuit, but once he wants it, he must get it, and he thinks that seven points will always only be three points, and he is erratic.
He sat relaxed, as if casually said: “Today is Thursday.” What’s wrong with
Thursday, Gu Xiuyi loves to go to work all year round, even legal holidays don’t have any special meaning to him.
“So?”
“So it’s KFC’s crazy Thursday.”
“…”
“What is that?” Gu Xiuyi really felt that there was a generation gap.
Why is Thursday crazy? It is better to work overtime if you are too busy.
Ji Ruan thought for a while: “A kind of promotion?”
Gu Xiuyi turned his head, “I don’t eat things that are on sale.”
“Pfft–” Ji Ruan was amused by this overlord’s natural pretentiousness, “Oh, it’s just a kind of activity Well, activities.”
Activities are just means for businessmen to seek profits.
Gu Xiuyi glanced at Ji Ruan’s dimples when he laughed, and only this kind of kid who loves to join in the fun would be silly and happy.
Ji Ruan laughed enough, and started to stare at Gu Xiuyi again. Gu Xiuyi didn’t express his opinion, so he just kept staring.
Gu Xiuyi simply couldn’t stand it.
Wouldn’t it hurt to keep such big eyes open all the time?
He avoided looking at him and pinched the center of his brows: “Go, go, Song Ling, find a nearby one.”
Fifteen
minutes later, Gu Xiuyi sat expressionlessly at a booth on the second floor of a KFC in the business district.
He was dressed in a full suit that came out of the company’s meeting, which was incompatible with the atmosphere in the store, and attracted a lot of silent scrutiny.
But Gu Xiuyi didn’t have the word “regret” in his dictionary, he came as soon as he came, and if he agreed to eat fried chicken with Ji Ruan, he would stay with him all the time, other people’s eyes didn’t matter.
The meal time has passed, and the number of customers in the store is much less than that of the peak period, but most of them are young and energetic students, there are children who make up their summer homework, and there are also young couples on a date.
After receiving the certificate, Ji Ruan changed back into his T-shirt and shorts. Sitting opposite Gu Xiuyi, he scanned the QR code with his mobile phone to order, perfectly blending into the atmosphere of the store.
Gu Xiuyi was as abrupt as a needle stuck inside.
Although there is no regret in the dictionary, but…
Gu Xiuyi took a deep breath, took out his phone and clicked on the financial news to try to calm down.
Ji Ruan roughly selected a set meal, and was about to place an order, when he suddenly remembered that he had spent a huge sum of 21 yuan today to treat Han Xiaolin to beef noodles.
Gu Xiuyi was immersed in the charm of financial news, but there was a scorching gaze from the opposite side that could not be ignored.
When he raised his head, he saw Shang Ji Ruan’s big eyes that were as soft as water, and the long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Gu Xiuyi: “?”
Ji Ruan’s tone was as normal as if he was talking to a good friend: “I remember you said that you wanted to invite me to dinner?”
Gu Xiuyi: “…”
He didn’t say that.
But did Ji Ruan practice some long-lost technique of not blinking? As long as Gu Xiuyi doesn’t avoid it, he can keep staring at it.
Stare until your heart softens.
Gu Xiuyi sighed and handed out his mobile phone.
Ji Ruan immediately dimpled from laughter, and took it with both hands: “Thank you for the hospitality.”
He quickly scanned the QR code and ordered the set meal he was looking forward to into the shopping cart, and then asked Gu Xiuyi, “What do you want to eat?” Gu Xiuyi
looked at Ji Ruan’s slender His fingers poked quickly on his mobile phone, and the skin where the fingertips touched the screen was reflected white by fluorescence. He didn’t have any interest in fast food, so
he casually said, “Coffee.”
Ji Ruan raised his head, “That’s it?
” He took two symbolic sips and put it aside, propping his chin to watch Ji Ruan eat. Ji Ruan, who was eating chicken legs, was not the same as usual. Although his sitting posture was still upright and his eating was still elegant, his cheeks were more bulging, and he wiped his mouth harder, causing his lips to turn red. Gu Xiuyi stared at that glowing red lip for a long time, then said out of nowhere: “Why do you always love to press your lip?”
“What?” Ji Ruan didn’t hear clearly, his eyes were blank.
Gu Xiuyi covered his lips and coughed, and looked aside: “It’s nothing, let’s eat.”
It was summer vacation, and there were many student couples sitting in the store, Gu Xiuyi glanced casually, as if he was suddenly reminded of something, and tapped on the table.
Ji Ruan looked up.
Gu Xiuyi: “Follow me to a place after eating.”
In
the hot weather, the air-conditioning in the shopping mall in the business district was extremely low, and Ji Ruan started coughing again as soon as he entered.
While leading Ji Ruan forward, Gu Xiuyi heard him cough weakly, and finally couldn’t hold back and patted him on the back: “What’s the matter with your throat?”
Ji Ruan covered his neck and frowned, his voice hoarse: “The air conditioner is too low, and the fried chicken… might be a bit salty…”
Gu Xiuyi thought of the row of small bones that Ji Ruan gnawed out just now, and the big glass of iced Coke, and sneered, “It deserves it.” It was
all exciting Food, who is not uncomfortable for him?
Ji Ruan: “…”
Gu Xiuyi brought Ji Ruan into a luxury jewelry store, Ji Ruan blinked: “?”
Gu Xiuyi took it for granted,
“Buying a wedding ring.” Leaning against the wall: “But I’m so tired, I don’t want to move anymore.”
I don’t know if it’s because I ran too much this day, or because I was too focused on eating chicken legs just now, Ji Ruan is very tired and wants to sleep now, and the air conditioner here is too low He has a sore throat.
Gu Xiuyi looked at Ji Ruan’s pale lips, without changing his face, “I didn’t ask you to move, sit and choose.”
Although it was said that he brought Ji Ruan to buy the wedding ring, in fact it was Gu Xiuyi who was picking the ring, and he was very picky and difficult to serve.
Ji Ruan randomly pointed out several styles, but the man was not satisfied.
Several new products strongly recommended by the manager, Gu Xiuyi was still not interested after seeing them, and finally asked for customization.
Ji Ruan was half leaning on the sofa and holding a glass to drink water. From his angle, he could see Gu Xiuyi’s side face, which was very serious and focused.
It’s just that this kind of expression should not match their marriage that is not in name, Ji Ruan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Taking advantage of the time when the manager went to invite the designer, he gently tugged on Gu Xiuyi’s sleeve. Gu Xiuyi turned his head and leaned towards him quite naturally: “Why?”
Ji Ruan bit her lip and whispered in his ear : “We are not really married, do we need to be so serious?”
Gu Xiuyi stared at him for a while, without explaining the marriage, only said:
“This is something we will wear on our hands for the next three years. , do you hope to get someone you don’t like?”
Ji Ruan was startled.
Gu Xiuyi’s pupils are very dark. When looking at people at close range, even if they are as calm as a deep pool, they will show a different kind of concentration.
Ji Ruan seemed to suddenly understand why the original owner liked Gu Xiuyi so much.
It’s hard for a person who is already a little bit emotional to see this look again, not to make a sentimental guess, does the other party care a little bit about himself?
Fortunately, he is not the Ji Ruan in the original book.
Ji Ruan let go of Gu Xiuyi’s sleeve and smiled: “I see.”
The designer made sketches of several styles according to the request of Gu Xiuyi. When I got up to ask for advice, my eyes were dazed.
“It’s just the most basic style now,” Gu Xiuyi explained: “You choose a few, and they will go down and perfect the more detailed design drawings.” The
designer also looked at Ji Ruan with earnest eyes on the other side.
But facing a row of sketches, Ji Ruan had a difficult time. He had never felt that his aesthetics were so masculine, and he couldn’t tell the difference between these styles.
After two seconds of stalemate, Ji Ruan resolutely gave up.
He suddenly leaned on Gu Xiuyi, resting his chin on his shoulder, smiled at the designer, and said softly,
“He is the master.”
No man can resist the feeling of being the master in front of outsiders.
As soon as Ji Ruan finished speaking, Gu Xiuyi’s body stiffened slightly, and then his back seemed to be straighter, and his expressionless face exuded a kind of refreshment from the inside out.
The designer immediately smiled yearningly: “You two are really in love!”
