All her thoughts were disrupted, Chi Nuan had worried countless times, and overturned herself countless times, but it finally happened.
Not wanting to be seen through by Gu Ningzi, she could only use the raised corners of her mouth to disguise her panic: "... Did you hear?"
Gu Ningzi explained: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you, the sliding door is hollow, I'm looking for you, just..."
Chi Nuan nodded in understanding.
If it was because of this incident that Gu Ningzi had a change in attitude, Chi Nuan thought, she couldn't blame her. Everyone's acceptance is different. Some people can take things like sexual orientation, and even think it's cool, but some people avoid it like a scorpion. Even she herself, a few months ago, couldn't believe that there was a possibility of liking the same sex, which was unreasonable - until she met Gu Ningzi.
If possible, she also wants to only regard Gu Ningzi as a close classmate; if she knows that Gu Ningzi will alienate herself because of this, she must have warned herself when the two met, and must not be tempted.
But there is no such "if"...
"Maybe she likes girls" has already made Gu Ningzi shy away, but she should not know about "the girl she likes is Gu Ningzi".
Feeling depressed and uncomfortable, Chi Nuan took a deep breath: "...I didn't want to hide anything from you. Gu Ningzi, I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable because of this."
Gu Ningzi: "So you and Xue Min are now...?"
"Classmates, friends, ... nothing else." Chi Nuan didn't dare to elaborate, for fear that Gu Ningzi would be more disgusted the more he talked, so he could only answer in such a vague way.
Gu Ningzi's voice can be said to have no ups and downs: "I guess you are rejecting her while thinking about how not to hurt her?"
Chi Nuan: "Um..."
Gu Ningzi turned out of the window again.
After a few minutes.
"I thought you would keep your distance from her." Gu Ningzi suddenly turned her head, and there was an indescribable awkwardness in her expression.
Chi Nuan was stunned. In the next second, all negative emotions were paused, and she found that the two people's thoughts were not on the same line at all!
"...Could it be because of my attitude towards Xue Min... Gu Ningzi, that's why you don't want to talk to me, are you?"
Chi Nuan thought about the Westing Island, when she and Wen Xue met Gu Ningzi when they entered the restaurant together, and Gu Ningzi's reaction when she said in public that she and Wen Xue spent the whole morning in the kitchen looking at the ingredients.
No wonder! No wonder! Turns out it wasn't because of sexual orientation, never!
Unconsciously, her body tilted in the direction of Gu Ningzi, Chi Nuan said, "Xue Wen and I made it clear that night. Xue Wen is also a very straightforward person. There is nothing between me and her."
Gu Ningzi paused and fell silent.
Chi Nuan saw that she didn't speak, and thought she didn't believe it: "Gu Ningzi, I'm serious! Whether it's a walk or breakfast, it's not a deliberate appointment. In the back kitchen, we are also interested in watching... "
Gu Ningzi slowly rubbed her forehead.
Chi Nuan: "Gu Ningzi..."
"I..." Gu Ningzi lowered her head slightly, as if the clouds had opened up and the mist dispersed, and the small dimples were looming: "I believe it. If you say it, I will believe it. ... I misunderstood you, Chi Nuan, I apologize to you."
Gu Ningzi's apology with some subtle embarrassment and shyness, mixed with her cold beauty, is strangely charming.
"No need to apologize, no need." A thin layer of blush appeared on Chi Nuan's face: "Isn't this the way friends should be? You think I have done something wrong, you bring it up, and if there is, I will change it. After all, if you don’t have it, you will be encouraged.”
Gu Ningzi: "..."
Chi Nuan tucked her long drooping hair behind her ears, and inadvertently revealed the tips of her red ears, and on her moving face, her eyes were burning: "I can understand your thoughts, including myself, ... I don't appreciate sloppy people either. Your style of doing things. Gu Ningzi, thank you for being so frank."
Gu Ningzi: "..."
Gu Ningzi nodded seriously: "Well."
…
The crux of the matter was solved. After the drinks were finished, the two sat in the dessert shop for a while. Gu Ningzi saw that it was not early and proposed to send Chi Nuan back to the bedroom.
"You still have homework to do."
Chi Nuan followed her to go out, and the scorching heat outside hit them, Gu Ningzi couldn't help but take a half step back.
Chi Nuan bumped into her, and Gu Ningzi lowered her head and said to her, "...it's too hot."
Chi Nuan asked her, "Are you afraid of heat?"
Gu Ningzi: "Who is not afraid of heat?"
Afraid of the heat, I waited downstairs for more than half an hour. Chi Nuan thought about it, sweet and bitter in her heart. Before leaving, I finally summoned up the courage to ask: "Gu Ningzi, Xue Min and I are both girls... This is the case between girls... If, I mean, if I also like girls, will you feel uncomfortable getting along with me?" comfortable?"
The moonlight was so bright that it shone brightly on the ground.
Gu Ningzi asked her back: "Then do you like girls?"
"..." Chi Nuan didn't want to lie, and didn't have the courage to admit it.
Gu Ningzi raised her hand, flicked her forehead skillfully, and said softly, "Worry."
Chi Nuan's eyes opened wider and wider, the light contained in it was brighter than the moonlight, but soon, the bright color dimmed again... That's why you don't know, the person I like is you.
…
Not long after Chi Nuan returned to the bedroom, Gu Ningzi sent a message: "I'm home."
Chi Nuan: "[OK]"
Gu Ningzi: "Show you Xiao Nuan."
Immediately, a photo of the blue cat came over. It was lying on the floor chubby and sleeping on all sides.
Chi Nuan objectively commented: "It's much better again."
Gu Ningzi: "Well."
Chi Nuan: "But this angle... Are you lying next to it?"
Gu Ningzi: "It's hot."
Chi Nuan screamed in her heart, Gu Ningzi is too cute!
- No, to restrain...
…
After that, the relationship between Chi Nuan and Gu Ningzi was closer than before. This is not surprising in the eyes of Xu Dan and the others. What is strange is that Gu Ningzi has started to study hard.
Xu Dan put the book on his chin and said, "Can you believe it?"
This is the last self-study class, and Xu Dan, who was occupied by Gu Ningzi again, is sitting next to Zhou Damao, tsk tsk amazed.
Zhou Damao was addicted to games and took the time to chat: "Is the game not fun or sleep well? What did the boss learn to learn, I can't think of it."
Xu Dan felt the same way.
Gu Ningzi and Chi Nuan are doing their homework next to each other, Gu Ningzi calculates, Chi Nuan checks, sometimes she can't think of how to solve the problem, Chi Nuan will remind her a little to give her some ideas.
Before get out of class ended, Gu Ningzi finished her math, and Chi Nuan said, "I have to review it during the summer vacation, or I will forget it."
The make-up class is only half a month away, and there are only two days left.
Gu Ningzi asked, "When are you going home?"
Chi Nuan: "The day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. How about you?"
"I'm not in a hurry." Gu Ningzi said, "You decide to tell me, and I'll send you."
Her expression naturally looked like she was talking about today's weather.
Chi Nuan's heart was pounding, and Gu Ningzi was very happy to be able to say this: "It's too hot and the road is long. I'll take the car back by myself, so that you don't have to run around, it's too troublesome."
Gu Ningzi said, "No trouble."
Chi Nuan: "I'm telling the truth."
Gu Ningzi: "...I'm not kidding."
Chi Nuan buried her face in her arm, smiled and rolled her eyes: "Gu Ningzi, how could you be so kind to me?"
Gu Ningzi shook the math practice paper in her hand and looked at Chi Nuan with a half-smile.
…
On the eve of the holiday, He Liwen issued the summer holiday notice and announced the holiday tomorrow. The class was full of cheers, and Chi Nuan received a message from Gu Ningzi: "Have everything been packed?"
Chi Nuan: "No."
Gu Ningzi: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Chi Nuan: "Yeah."
He Liwen made three orders and five declarations of summer safety on the podium. Chi Nuan made a detailed list of summer homework for each homework, and took pictures and archived them.
Xu Dan said, "Take a photo for me too."
Not only did Xu Dan take the photo, she also sent it to the WeChat group.
Du Min: "[thumb]"
Zhao Jingjing: "[thumb]"
After a few minutes, Xue Min appeared in the group chat: "You guys are on vacation..."
Xue Min hasn't shown much since she went abroad. When she appeared, Xu Dan and the others immediately started chatting with her, and they realized that something was wrong: "Amin, we have a time difference, right? What time are you over there? ... It must be three or four in the morning? Why don't you sleep?"
Xue Min: "Can't sleep, insomnia."
Several people asked what was going on, Xue Min said: "I made a mistake when playing [tears] [tears]"
Xu Dan and the others offered words of comfort, Chi Nuan read the record and said, "Don't be discouraged, come on next time!"
Xue Min: "Thank you [shy]"
Later, we talked about other topics. Xu Dan asked Xue Wen if he went to play between performances. Xue Wen sent a wave of photos into the group.
There is something to eat and play. Xue Min, who occasionally appears in the photo, is so beautiful that Xu Dan's eyes gleam with envy.
The information in the group flashed quickly, and Gu Ningzi chatted privately with Chi Nuan: "Have dinner together after school?"
Chi Nuan looked back at Gu Ningzi, who happened to be looking over there too.
Thinking that the two would not see each other for a long time during the summer vacation, Chi Nuan nodded subconsciously.
Gu Ningzi pointed to the phone, Chi Nuan looked down, and Gu Ningzi asked her what she wanted to eat. Chi Nuan thought about it for a while, a little greedy for hot pot, and asked, "Is hot pot okay?"
Gu Ningzi: "Do you want to be spicy?"
Chi Nuan: "Clear soup, you can eat more of the clear soup."
…
In the afternoon class, the time passed quickly. After school, Xu Dan and the others happily left the school with their parents. Chi Nuan was led home by Gu Ningzi to eat hot pot together.
Gu Ningzi opened the sunshade, her umbrella was much larger than Chi Nuan's, and both of them were shrouded in the shade. On the way home, Gu Ningzi stopped to buy Chi Nuan a cup of iced milk tea.
"Aren't you going to drink?" Chi Nuan asked Gu Ningzi.
Gu Ningzi: "Well."
Come to think of it, I don't like drinking milk tea very much.
The two stood under the big awning outside the milk tea shop, Gu Ningzi inserted the straw into the seal and handed it to Chi Nuan. Seeing Chi Nuan drinking comfortably, she couldn't help but remind her, "Don't drink all of it, your stomach will be bloated, and you won't be able to eat for a while."
In the evening, the heat is gradually receding, and the sound of cicadas is loud.
Chi Nuan opened the milk tea cover and pushed the milk tea to Gu Ningzi: "Then do you want to drink some?"
"Alright."
Gu Ningzi held up the milk tea in Chi Nuan's posture, pressed the milk tea lid, lowered her head, and held the straw.
Chi Nuan looked at her calmly, and was setting off fireworks in her heart.
foul! foul! Indirect kissing foul!
…
When he arrived at Gu Ningzi's house, Chi Nuan habitually looked around for the cat first, but after a few laps, he couldn't find any trace of it.
Chi Nuan said with an "ahh", "Where's the cat?"
Gu Ningzi's cat is usually very clingy. As long as he goes home, he will greet him immediately. Where did he go today
Gu Ningzi was also very puzzled, walked into the living room, and whispered from left to right: "Xiao Nuan?"
Chi Nuan: "…"
Chi Nuan: "Didn't you say the name was a joke?"
Gu Ningzi smiled: "It's nice and easy to say, and sometimes I borrow it."
Chi Nuan: "…"
Cat meows came from behind the floor-to-ceiling curtains.
"Ah, there!"
Chi Nuan followed Gu Ningzi to the window, Gu Ningzi opened the curtains, and the blue cat was locked in the cat bag, meowing at them pitifully.
Chi Nuan squatted down to open the cat bag, Gu Ningzi took out her phone, and wanted to ask Secretary Su what was going on.
A bumpy figure walked through the living room barefoot, silently pounced on Gu Ningzi's shoulders from behind, and hugged her tightly: "Surprise!"
Before the connection to Secretary Su's phone was connected, the phone was knocked out of his hands by the force and slammed onto the floor.
