A suffocating dead silence brewed between the two of them. And the source of this silence was Cheng Juan, which made Ruan Jiujiu at a loss.
Cheng Juan: "..."
Ruan Jiujiu: "?? What happened? Why do you feel that your expression is not right?"
Cheng Juan was silent for another long time, almost making Ruan Jiujiu impatient, he asked slowly, "Did you feel anything wrong while eating the cake?"
With this question, Ruan Jiujiu suddenly fell into confusion.
"What do you mean? Could it be that you really gave me a spoiled cake?!"
"It's not about the cake."
"Could it be the problem of the plastic box..."
"I slipped a diamond ring."
Ruan Jiujiu: "?"
"Inside the cake."
"???"
Ruan Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, and then his mind went blank: "You mean I ate a ring? Wait, how much is the ring?"
The first thing she thought of was the price of the ring.
"Hundreds of thousands."
Hundreds of thousands? ! Ruan Jiujiu turned pale with shock, and waved his hand without thinking.
"Let's go! Hurry up and drive me to the hospital. While it's still early, maybe I can get it out by gastric lavage!"
Cheng Juan: "..."
"Hurry up, it's not worth so much money to tear me down and sell me!" Ruan Jiujiu thought that hundreds of thousands would be in vain, and his flesh hurt so much that he almost cried. She urged Cheng Juan to get into the driver's seat, and sat in the back row holding her stomach, thinking silently in her heart that there was still time.
The car started, and Cheng Juan drove in silence.
It was supposed to be a romantic thing, but now it has turned into an oolong. Thinking about the discomfort of gastric lavage later, and the extra money spent in the hospital, Ruan Jiujiu felt even more distressed. For a while, he didn't know whether to feel sorry for the money or for the money Own.
The car suddenly became quiet, and the two of them sat in the front row and the back row. Ruan Jiujiu looked at the back of his head, and without looking, she could imagine Cheng Juan pretending to be meek and calm. She suddenly let out a chuckle. .
"I really convinced you, why did you come up with such an old-fashioned idea?"
Cheng Juan's tone was erratic, he held the steering wheel for a while, and said, "Learn."
Ruan Jiujiu couldn't laugh or cry.
"What kind of idea is this learned?"
After being frightened, his mood returned to calm, and Ruan Jiujiu was ready to go to the hospital for gastric lavage. At this time, she was reminiscing about Cheng Juan's actions just now, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked, "Did you just want to show me a surprise? Could it be... fireworks?"
Cheng Juan: "...No."
"I guessed it right?"
Fireworks and a diamond ring, he really looks like a domineering president. It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and there is nothing I want, and I have to go to the hospital.
Ruan Jiujiu probably didn't expect such a scene.
Touching the diamond ring in his belly, Ruan Jiujiu was both amused and speechless. Turning his face away, looking at the icy and snowy scenery outside the car window, his voice suddenly softened: "Actually, there is no need to use rings or fireworks. I don't love money as much as you think."
Although she is bluffing on the surface and always clamoring that this is more expensive than that, in fact, she does not have a lot of desire for money. As long as you have enough money to spend, if you actually wear the diamond ring, you have to worry about breaking it or losing it.
"I don't think so."
Ruan Jiujiu froze for a moment: "Huh?"
While driving, Cheng Juan said, "If money can keep you, maybe I won't be so worried that I can't sleep."
"..." She was surprised for a moment, and stared at Cheng Juan in a daze.
"I won't guard the living room in the middle of the night in case you slip away."
"..."
"When I go to work, I always worry that I will be alone again when I go back."
"..."
"It's easy to do surveillance video and positioning, but I never thought it would be used on you. Just half an hour ago, even the most challenging game in my racing career has never been so nervous and uncontrollable. "He held the steering wheel with one hand and remained silent for a moment.
"If liking someone can be as simple as programming. Maybe I can find bugs, crack your firewall, and write a virus that can shake you."
"..."
A scorching temperature gradually ignited on Ruan Jiujiu's cheeks, it was so hot that it almost melted her heart into a puddle of water. She never expected that a straight man like Cheng Juan would be so touching when he talked about love.
Silence returned in the car, and the sound of tires crushing on the snow could be vaguely heard, just like the sound of Ruan Jiujiu's protective wall cracking layer by layer.
She originally thought that between the two of them, she was at a disadvantage, afraid of being hurt, that's why she didn't dare to like her, and she didn't dare to take the initiative to contribute. He said he wanted to try it out, but his heart was cowardly, even if he tried repeatedly outside the hard shell, he still had to pretend that he didn't know anything and remained indifferent.
Ruan Jiujiu's eyes fell on her knees, and she clenched her fists, looking a little embarrassed.
"actually… "
"Ding dong ding dong..." Cheng Juan's cell phone rang, and he pressed it off instantly. He clenched his phone stiffly, and after a while, he asked, "Actually what?"
In fact, she couldn't fall in love with him at all
In fact, she already has someone she likes
actually-
"You answer the phone first." Ruan Jiujiu clenched his fists and coughed dryly, avoiding the topic.
It's like a snail hiding in its shell that sneaks out its tentacles. If there is a slight change, it immediately shrinks back, and it doesn't matter how you knock it out. Where Ruan Jiujiu couldn't see, Cheng Juan's expression was a little sadder than ever before.
Despite this, the expression and tone on his face were as calm and slow as ever.
He called back and called: "Hello."
The call was from the hotel manager, with a panicked tone: "Boss, I took the wrong cake, and there is no ring in it... It is unforgivable to be negligent in this kind of thing. I have asked the chef in charge to pack up and leave..."
"Where is the ring from you?" Cheng Juan interrupted him.
The hotel manager was stunned for a second, and then responded: "Yes, yes, it is in the hotel. Don't worry, I will take good care of it and will never lose it!"
The most beautiful idiom in the world is probably a false alarm.
Cheng Juan's slow voice was so calm that there was no ups and downs, which made the hotel manager feel uneasy: "Boss...you can punish him if you want, and I am also responsible for failing to supervise properly. I..."
"You don't have to go."
"what?"
"Call the cook back. This month's double salary."
The hotel manager was dumbfounded: "Boss, boss?"
He was answered by the beep of the boss hanging up the phone.
The car was very quiet, and Ruan Jiujiu could hear it clearly even in the back seat. Her mood was a bit complicated. Just now, she was holding her stomach like she was holding treasure, but now her stomach is worthless, probably worth a few catties of meat.
... However, it was the best thing for Ruan Jiujiu not to have to go to the hospital for gastric lavage.
The two sat in the car for an awkward silence.
The beautiful atmosphere was completely destroyed, and it would be worse to continue to express one's heart at this time.
Ruan Jiujiu gave a dry cough, looked out the window, and said, "Go back, I'm hungry."
"Do you want to go to that restaurant?"
"do not."
She was really scared, for fear that Cheng Juan would come up with some weird "surprise". Ruan Jiujiu still remembered the lesson of almost flying to another city during the New Year. She pursed her lips and said, "Next time, let me know in advance about something like this. I don't want to waste any more energy."
If there is a next time.
Cheng Juan hummed lightly, not knowing how he was feeling at the moment.
The vehicle started slowly, and they could still chat for a few days on the way here, but when they returned, they became two dumb people, neither of whom spoke. Ruan Jiujiu leaned his elbows by the car window, the sky outside was already pitch black, dotted with a few twinkling stars, even though there were few peaceful brilliance, they were trying hard to reflect their own brilliance.
There was an unconscious smile on the corner of her lips.
Back at the hotel, the two tacitly agreed that neither of them mentioned what happened in the car. There were not many people in the hotel buffet, and the two finished their meal in silence, Ruan Jiujiu could clearly feel Cheng Juan's sudden reduction in appetite.
He actually only ate one staple food, it was like red rain from the sky, it was unbelievable.
The two silently walked through the corridor and entered the guest room.
It's really early to go to bed at this point. There are still a few hours until zero, and the year has really passed. Maybe watching the Spring Festival Gala is not a good choice.
"That-"
"That-"
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
Ruan Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh: "When did we get so close?"
Cheng Juan turned his face away, did not answer, but said slowly: "It's getting late, go to bed."
At this time, Ruan Jiujiu took a few steps forward and walked in front of Cheng Juan. She was a head shorter than Cheng Juan, making her look even more petite and lovely. Cheng Juan didn't speak, and asked Ruan Jiujiu what he wanted to do with his eyes.
Ruan Jiujiu's eyes were calm, but the tips of his ears were bright red.
She opened her arms and said awkwardly and jerkyly: "You are allowed to hug for ten seconds. Don't refuse..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted, and the next second, Ruan Jiujiu fell into a familiar yet unfamiliar embrace. The slender and powerful arms hugged her tightly, as if afraid that she would run away, and Ruan Jiujiu struggled uncomfortably, but was hugged even tighter.
The breath in his nose is Cheng Juan's pleasant smell, quenching the coldness of the snow, but gradually melting, enveloping his hot skin.
Ruan Jiujiu's cheeks were also tinged with a light pink, which made her look extremely attractive and unbelievably cute.
"Test it internally first. There is probably still hope."
Perhaps, she shouldn't be too quick to refuse. No one knows what the future holds.
Cheng Juan's muffled answer came from above his head, and the lingering sound was hoarse.
"it is good."
"..."
"..."
There was another silence.
Ruan Jiujiu said: "Well... ten seconds are up, let go..."
"not yet."
She was hugged even tighter: "There are still nine seconds."
