Cheng Hui had a conflict with He Chuan. Just because she didn't get a good outcome from He Chuan doesn't mean she will be at Tang Huaihuai's mercy.
Indeed, it was very embarrassing for her to be rejected by Tang Que. But on second thought, it was nothing. She confessed her love to Tang Que openly and honestly, and she didn't regret being rejected.
She said, "The director misunderstood. Even if Tang Que rejects me, it won't affect me much. If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come. Besides, the next one will be better."
Tang Huaihuai raised her eyebrows, quite surprised that she would say so.
She had heard Tang Que say that Cheng Hui liked him very much but was rejected by him and had been sad for quite a while. Judging from this meaning, he should have liked him quite a lot. How could it be better to have the next one now?
Cheng Hui smiled again and said, "Does the guide still want to be my sister?" Then I have to ask my parents if they agree to have another daughter.
She deliberately asked with a smile and an innocent look on her face, in contrast to what she said.
Tang Huaihuai smiled and said, "I was just using a metaphor. Don't take it seriously."
Is there nothing else? I'm going back to the dormitory first.
"Um."
Tang Huaihuai watched her leave.
Not long after Cheng Hui left, she took out her mobile phone and called He Chuan, teasing, "Guess where I am now and who I met?"
Kagawa: "Who?"
"Who else could it be but Cheng Hui? I never expected that she was a student in the freshman class I was in charge of." "
He Chuan frowned slightly, his expression changing slightly: "You went to be a teacher at a university?"
"Yeah. Judging from your tone, I'm quite surprised?"
Kagawa said coldly and indifferently, "I'm not too surprised."
Then would you like to come and have a look? Or have a meal together later?
Tang Huaihuai is not a passive woman. She has always been very proactive, especially towards He Chuan.
...
Tang Huaihuai likes Hechuan.
After realizing this, Cheng Hui was very anxious.
I went back to the dormitory, took a bath, changed into my pajamas and lay on the bed. My whole body ached and I had no interest at all. My mind was in a mess. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
...
In the evening, Cheng Jiu was in the kitchen, while Xin Gan was by his side, helping to pass back the ingredients or wash the vegetables.
Cheng Jiu cooks all home-style dishes. I asked her in advance if there were any foods she wouldn't eat. She said she wouldn't eat seafood or potatoes, and everything else was acceptable.
She has an allergic constitution and is also allergic to seafood.
Cheng Jiu chuckled softly and said half-jokingly, "Fortunately, you're not allergic to me."
This is just a joke.
Xin Gan was too embarrassed to look at him and turned around silently.
After finishing the meal and having nothing urgent to do, Cheng Jiu washed the dishes. After washing them, he came out and asked her, "Are you going to take a walk in the community downstairs?"
The weather is fine now. There is wind at night and it's quite cool.
Xin Gan didn't refuse. If she had stayed in the room all the time with nothing to do, it would have been very embarrassing.
Cheng Jushun then threw away the garbage in the kitchen.
I walked around the entrance of the community building and came back after only about forty minutes.
Xin Gan glanced at the time. It was less than half past nine. At this time, it was still very early.
Cheng Jiu poured her a glass of water and said, "Are you going to have a TV meeting or take a bath?"
Xin Gan said, "Watch TV." If she really stays here tonight without changing her clothes, it will be a bit embarrassing.
Cheng Jiu gave a meaningful smile, turned on the TV, sat on the sofa and asked her, "Are you going to watch a movie this afternoon?"
She fell asleep in the afternoon and didn't finish reading it.
Although she doesn't like watching movies very much either.
But now that I've agreed to stay, there's nothing else to distract me from, so I can only watch movies.
As he was watching, Cheng Jiu suddenly asked, "Very scared?"
Xin Gan was sitting right beside him, holding a pillow and looking back at him. "What?"
"Very scared?" He asked again.
Xin Gan neither shook his head nor nodded, saying, "A little bit."
He forced a smile at the corner of his mouth again and pinched her chin. "I'm not that scary. My body is shaking like this?"
Xin Gan bit her lip and stared at him silently. Her eyes were wet and exactly the same as those of a lost deer in the forest.
Cheng Jiu reached out and brushed her cheek, then moved to her earlobe. With his rough fingertips, he pinched her pinkish-white earlobe, seeing through her frightened mind and whispered, "If you don't want to, I won't force you. Don't be afraid of me." At most, it would just be to kiss her and nothing else would be done.
He is straightforward and doesn't hide his thoughts.
He's no young lad. He can only think with his lower body.
Xin Gan wasn't in the right mood all night. He wasn't stupid, so how could he not guess what she was thinking?
Xin Gan was hit by the words and dared not look at him. Blushing, she said, "Yes, I heard you."
Cheng Jiu touched her hair again and said, "After taking a bath, put on my clothes first. I'll take you home tomorrow."
Xin Gan nodded, but the indescribable sense of loss in his heart was something else. He kept his word and really did nothing.
At most, just wait for her to finish taking a bath, kiss her forehead and say softly, "Good night. Go to sleep."
She asked, "What about you?" Where to sleep?
"Sleep next door."
There is another guest room next door. He sleeps in the guest room.
Cheng Jiu kept his word and had no intention of making things difficult for her.
Cheng Jiu leaned closer to her and said again, "Remember, lock the door."
Xin Gan: "..."
Xin Gan lay in bed, feeling as if the whole day had been like a dream. Cheng Jiu was too gentle and kind to her, or rather, he had a gentle side to him, but it was just unknown to others.
As for that matter, she wasn't unable to accept it. She had grown up abroad, and the atmosphere there was generally more open than in China. She wasn't ignorant, but Cheng Jiu had seen through her thoughts and felt a bit embarrassed. He thought she was afraid of it, but in fact, she wasn't. She was just a bit reluctant.
They had shared a bed before, but that time, she didn't like him that much.
Tonight, fearing that she would be scared, he slept in separate rooms directly.
Forget it. I don't think about it anymore.
...
Early the next morning, Xin Gan woke up and lay in bed for a while. She heard faint footsteps outside the door and thought Cheng Jiu had woken up. She quickly got up to wash up.
The clothes can only be worn from yesterday. Fortunately, they are not dirty.
But there was no way to put on makeup. None of them brought any cosmetics.
Opening the door, I saw a large husky lying on the floor in the living room, looking pitiful. Hearing the commotion, the husky turned around to look at her. In the next second, it suddenly got up and ran towards her.
Xin Gan was frightened by such a big dog, but still suddenly pounced on her.
She was startled and hurriedly stepped back.
"Dead dog, come back!" Seeing this scene as he came out of the kitchen, He quickly scolded the husky.
The husky pounced on Xin Gan, sticking out its tongue to lick Xin Gan's face. Xin Gan couldn't dodge in time. Its freshly washed face was arched by the dog's nose and it was licked with saliva all over its face.
Cheng Jiu heard the commotion and came out to take a look. He saw Xin Gan being tackled to the ground by the dog. He quickly stepped forward, pulled the dog away, helped Xin Gan up and asked anxiously, "Did you get injured anywhere?"
Xin Gan shook her head, raised her hand to wipe the saliva off her face, but didn't get hurt much.
He Chuan hurriedly grabbed the dog's leash and scolded it, "You do know how to pounce. You pounce on anyone you see."
The dog, being scolded, shrank its head, but still was eager to try and run out.
Xin Gan was a little afraid of such a big dog. She moved back a bit. Cheng Jiu comforted her, "It's okay. Don't be afraid."
He Chuan hurriedly pulled the dog outside the balcony and scolded it, saying, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken you out. You dare to pounce on anyone and get an advantage. I'm not afraid that Cheng Jiu will kill you to make dog meat hot pot."
The dog was still wandering around, looking innocent, sticking out its tongue and drooling.
Xin Gan went into the bathroom to wash her face and tidy up.
Cheng Jiu glanced at the balcony and said to He Chuan, "Don't let me see that dog again."
He Chuan raised his hand and said, "Fine, but I really didn't mean it. I thought you were the only one in your family and came to see you. I didn't expect Xin Gan to be there too." He really had no idea. He came up early to walk the dog and happened to pass by Cheng Jiu's house, so he came to have a look.
Unexpectedly, Xin Gan was there too?
Is this his/her living together?
Wasn't it still in the running-in period a while ago?
He Chuan touched his nose and smiled, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Xin Gan is with you."
Cheng Jiu didn't say a word. He went into the kitchen and brought out the cooked porridge and a series of side dishes. There was no need to look; they were specially made for Xin Gan's breakfast.
He Chuan, without any shame, insisted on having a meal. In front of Xin Gan, he praised Cheng Jiu, saying, "You are truly virtuous and kind. I can't tell that I've known you for so long and I haven't eaten the food you cooked."
The dog was still barking on the balcony, looking pitiful. It must have smelled the aroma of the meat buns.
Cheng Jiu didn't hold back and retorted, "Eat yours. You talk too much."
Judging from this situation, Cheng Jiu was very protective of her and didn't even allow him to say a few words.
Cheng Jiu and Xin Gan sat on one side, opposite He Chuan. After he finished eating, he raised his eyebrows and stopped joking. He asked Cheng Jiu, "How is your injury?"
It's nothing. Only the flesh and skin wounds remain. They won't heal so quickly.
"Then when will you return to Beiyu?" "
Xin Gan's hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment. She also wanted to know.
Cheng Jiu said, "It's almost there."
No specific time was mentioned, but it's indeed coming soon.
...
After having his fill of food and drink, he went to the terrace and took his dog to say goodbye.
Before that dog left, it was still looking at Xin Gan, with teary eyes.
Cheng Jiu closed the door and explained to her why He Chuan was at home: "He Chuan lives nearby. I went downstairs to buy breakfast and met him. He came back with me to have a free meal."
Xin Gan nodded and asked the previous topic again, "Then when do you plan to return to Beiyu?"
In two days, the day after tomorrow or the day after that.
