Because of wild thinking all night, Qi Xi still couldn't sleep well in the end.
Early the next morning, when Qi Xi went out with two dark circles under his eyes, Gu Yan was already waiting at the door in high spirits. He seemed to have already gone out once, as if he had just run away, so he also had a little bit of a smile on his face. Panting, Qi Xi was about to speak when he handed something over.
As always, this man cherishes words like gold: "Breakfast."
Qi Xi touched the warm eel rice ball in his hand, and felt a warm and hot feeling in his heart.
It seems that Gu Yan has never bought breakfast for other female students.
Qi Xi looked at the rice ball in her hand, it was still her favorite eel rice ball.
Her heart was full of apprehension, throbbing, and some emotions like sweet and sour carbonated bubbles, gurgling out.
Although it is true that Gu Yan has Bai Yueguang, but Bai Yueguang doesn't like Gu Yan, then Gu Yan will have to give up sooner or later, and since he dangles in front of Gu Yan all day long, will Gu Yan gradually become more and more fond of him unconsciously? Been in love for a long time
Qi Xi even himself was startled by this sudden bold idea, and then his emotions became repeated and entangled like the tide washing the beach.
Will Gu Yan really treat himself...
At this moment, Qi Xi thinks back on the clues of getting along, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels a little confusing and makes people think wildly.
Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan's face that was close in front of him, but he didn't know if it was a coincidence. Gu Yan's gaze was sweeping across Qi Xi, and the two people's eyes briefly touched in the air. At this moment, Qi Xi suddenly felt a kind of brain There was a feeling of heat, as if Gu Yan's eyes had a real touch, blowing over Qi Xi like an unpredictable wind.
Gu Yan had already looked away, and Qi Xi also lowered his head to look at the ground, but the residual feeling from the meeting of eyes did not disappear.
The wind itself may not have any other intentions, but people who have been blown by the wind have given it different interpretations—does it want to stay? Or do you want people to never catch it
Qi Xi felt that her heart had also become like a wheat field blown by the wind. The wind made no sound, but each ear of wheat that was blown by it made its own sound. These tiny sounds mixed together and then became It has become a natural symphony that even the owner of the wheat field can't sort out every note.
From Qi Xi's perspective, he could see Gu Yan's white wrist hanging by his side, as well as the small black mole on his wrist, his straight trouser legs, and looking up, it was Gu Yan's unsmiling face that still made people move forward.
Qi Xi held the rice ball, not knowing what Gu Yan was thinking, she was a little nervous and felt that she should say something, but before she could say the safest thank you, Qi Xi listened to Gu Yan casually say—
"I went for a morning run in the morning and picked up the discount to buy it."
"..."
Gu Yan glanced at Qi Xi again, then looked away, coughed, and said unnaturally: "It's a bonus, here it is for you, don't waste it."
"..."
Although I don't know when Gu Yan got into the habit of running in the morning, but Qi Xi thinks he should do it next time.
Qi Xi took a bite of the rice ball as if venting his anger, wondering if he was thinking too much, and followed Gu Yan into the elevator amidst complicated but throbbing emotions.
The elevator was not empty, Qi Xi walked in and saw a tall girl standing there.
When the girl saw Gu Yan, she immediately revealed a look of surprise: "Gu Yan? What a coincidence."
So it's an acquainted neighbor
Compared to the girl's enthusiasm, Gu Yan was not very enthusiastic. He looked a little reserved, so he just nodded at the other party and said "hmm".
Qi Xi didn't make a sound, but secretly looked at each other. She was a girl who was dressed in an IKEA suit. She looked about the same age as Qi Xi and Gu Yan. She had fair skin and big eyes. She wore a Bailey on her slightly curly hair. The hat is very low-key and western style, but it can be seen with the naked eye that this outfit is not cheap. In connection with the housing price in the area where Gu Yan's house is located, one can also know that this girl's family is in a good family.
The other party looked gentle and didn't mind Gu Yan's indifference. He just smiled and said, "Thank you for sending me home last time. Today I can bake biscuits. The ones I baked are delicious. I'll bring you some later in the evening."
Gu Yan sent the other party home? !
Gu Yan may be the most insignificant part of the whole sentence, but Qi Xi felt that he didn't hear a single word, and only extracted the part related to Gu Yan.
There was a slight sense of loss and indescribable tension in her heart—Gu Yan sent the girl home.
Qi Xi's heart was beating chaotically, and she comforted herself that it was nothing, they were neighbors, maybe they were just walking along the same way when they were sent home, and she suspected that there was a high probability that Gu Yan would not pay attention to each other, at least he would not talk to each other enthusiastically. , because he always treats his suitors or other girls like this.
Only this time it seems to be different.
To Qi Xi's surprise, Gu Yan did not ignore the other party, but frowned slightly: "Don't give me the biscuit, you should be more careful next time when you go home."
The elevator dinged and had reached the bottom of the building. The girl opposite waved her hand to say goodbye to Gu Yan, and then walked in the opposite direction with Qi Xi and Gu Yan.
Qi Xi looked at the back of the other party, still a little dazed.
Just now, did Gu Yan... Did he care about the other party as much as he cared about himself
This is actually quite normal, but Qi Xi doesn't understand why he cares so much and feels so uncomfortable.
Maybe it's... Qi Xi thought, maybe it's because she felt that Gu Yan cared about her because of her arduous efforts - she studied Gu Yan's hobbies, worked hard to have common topics with Gu Yan, and cooperated with Gu Yan at work as much as she could. Yan, to release his kindness to the maximum extent, in exchange for a change in Gu Yan's attitude, it may be called a close relationship, but this female neighbor...
Is this female neighbor familiar with Gu Yan? Have you had a lot of contact with Gu Yan? Do you know Gu Yan well
Qi Xi knew that his mentality of comparison was a bit naive, and Gu Yan was not a kindergarten girl's little skirt and leather shoes, so he wished that only he could wear it, and that only he could become the unique one, and he wasn't a loot that he could monopolize.
But the reason is clear, Qi Xi still can't do it and doesn't mind.
Qi Xi bit her lip, and while following Gu Yan to the subway entrance, she casually asked, "Did she graduate from our school?"
Gu Yan was a little surprised: "You also met her at school?"
Then it is indeed a graduate of Rongda University, will it be...
Facing Gu Yan's question, Qi Xi shook her head. At this moment, the subway they were waiting for had already arrived. Qi Xi didn't continue this topic. She felt that she had been thinking too much recently. How could she like Gu Yan in everything? People get hooked.

Fortunately, after entering the law firm, Qi Xi felt at ease in the familiar working atmosphere, but what is surprising is that Gu Xuehan was away on a business trip last night, but this morning, before Gu Yan and Qixi arrived on time, she was in good spirits Work done in the office.
Sitting opposite Gu Xuehan, Qi Xi looked at the sharp and capable but beautiful face of the other party, and felt sincere admiration. She didn't go home last night, but she showed up in the office this morning. It can be seen that Gu Xuehan came back with a plane ticket or bus ticket in the morning. She can continue to work without any dark circles under her eyes, Qi Xi really admires and envies her.
Not long ago, Qi Xi received an internal call from Gu Xuehan, asking her and Gu Yan to go to Gu Xuehan's office.
At this moment, Qi Xi was sitting beside Gu Yan, waiting for Gu Xuehan to arrange tasks after finishing the work at hand.
After Gu Xuehan finished writing the email intently, she looked away from the computer and looked at Qi Xi and Gu Yan who had been called into the office by her earlier in the morning: "You two, get ready, I'm going to go back this afternoon. Great, the law school invited me as a guest to share my career path and experience in the college’s career planning course.”
Gu Xuehan flicked her long hair: "There is no fee for this kind of lecture, but it can't really make my time worthless, so you guys prepare our promotion PPT and the introduction of the intern project. The class lasts forty-five minutes, and I can only speak for half an hour. After that, I have a meeting with my client, and the remaining fifteen minutes will be given by the two of you. Let me introduce what we have learned Second, as seniors who have just graduated and just started working, they are naturally closer to these students, and can also supplement the interpretation of lawyers' careers from your perspective, and the rest of the time is spent answering questions from students."
Gu Xuehan smiled: "You guys do a good job, and try to wait for next year's graduation season to receive a few more excellent resumes from Rongda Law School."
**
The introduction PPT of the competition and cooperation firm is a publicity draft that the administration has prepared long ago. They are all ready-made, so there is actually no need for any preparatory work.
Gu Xuehan also has a client banquet at noon, so she will drive to Rongda alone after the meal, while Qi Xi and Gu Yan can leave directly from the office at a later date, and then meet Gu Xuehan at Rongda.
Rongda is located in the university town on the outskirts of Rongshi. In recent years, it has been much more convenient to use the subway. However, due to the problem of subway route planning, the nearest subway station is still a short distance away from Rongda. Instead, it is more convenient and economical to take a direct bus.
Qi Xi heard from Zhao Yiran that most of her fond memories of her four years in college were on the bus.
Qi Xi has no right to speak about this, because when Qi Xi was in school, she would hardly leave the university city on weekends to go downtown. She devoted most of her university time to the library and self-study classrooms, and occasionally went home It was also her father Qi Ruiming who drove to pick him up or take a taxi directly. He has always been looking forward to the bus route that Zhao Yiran said is full of her four years of fond memories.
There is plenty of time today, and there happens to be a direct bus platform on the road not far from the downstairs of the competition office, so Qi Xi simply proposed to Gu Yan: "Why don't we go by bus?"
Gu Yan frowned slightly: "Why? We can take a taxi. This is considered a work trip, and the office is responsible for reimbursement."
"It's not a matter of reimbursement or not." Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan, and she said embarrassedly, "Did you take this bus when you were in school?"
Gu Yan pursed his lips: "No."
That's right, Gu Yan's family background seems to be very good, and most of them are ordinary students who know how to travel by bus. A half-rich young master like him must have never experienced the same.
Saying this, Qi Xi regained some psychological balance, and she explained to Gu Yan: "Did you know? There are very beautiful scenery on this bus route."
Afraid that Gu Yan would not agree to take the bus, Qi Xi made an artistic exaggeration: "It is said that the most beautiful scenery along the way can be regarded as the most beautiful scenery in Rongshi. Think about it, we are sitting on the bus on such a sunny noon, with clean windows. Slightly open, the breeze outside the window gently rolled up the curtains, and outside the window are fields, flowers and nature, the wind is full of vitality, and the sky is white clouds and blue sky, and then we are sitting in the car to Rongda Do you feel very youthful? Very nostalgic? It seems that the scenery along the way will never end?"
…
**
In the end, relying on his excellent argumentation ability, Qi Xi successfully persuaded Gu Yan to take the bus together.
Gu Yan was very calm about this, but Qi Xi was a little bit looking forward and excited. There are some things that I missed in college, until I completely missed them, I will have a little regret and frustration.
At the stop where she and Gu Yan got on the train, there were not too many people in the car. Qi Xi looked forward to the sunny grassland on the way later, and quickly found a seat by the window. Gu Yan didn't speak, but he followed Qi Xi After Xi got into the car, he sat beside Qi Xi naturally.
At the beginning, the bus was still traveling in the urban area, and there were unattractive urban buildings outside.
This bus is quite an old line, and the bus is not new. It looks like a rusty old machine when it bumps, making a grinding sound of the motor, and other cars are mixed with the exhaust of the bus outside.
But this didn't affect Qi Xi's mood in the slightest.
Excitedly lying on the window, she turned around and warmly introduced to Gu Yan: "There will be a good view later, just wait a little longer!"
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the junction of the suburbs and the city, and there was an unfinished building outside.
Qi Xi was a little sluggish from being bumped by the car, but he still regained his spirit and comforted himself: "Wait a minute, the suburbs will be full of scenery."
Ten minutes later, the bus finally reached the suburbs...
only…
The scenery of the blue sky, white clouds and fields did not appear in Qixi's anticipation, what appeared was...
One after another, the tractors slowly drove past Qixi's bus. Next to the farmhouse in the distance, there is the smoke of burning straw, and the smell that comes in with the wind is a mixture of burning materials and cow dung, and with the wind, there is also dust in the air.
Qi Xi couldn't help coughing, then she turned her head and met Gu Yan's face.
The man said calmly with a blank face: "Is this the most beautiful scenery in Rongshi you said?"
Qi Xi was also a little embarrassed, she smirked twice and closed the window: "This is primitive, pure ecology and pure nature, a wild blooming, unrestrained wild primitive state, and a non-mainstream beauty."
But soon, she couldn't even smile.
When we stopped at the station in a small business district in the suburbs not far from Rongda, a bunch of students from Rongda came up and crowded the bus like a can of sardines.
Most of these were couples who were shopping and watching movies near Rongda. At this time, the carriage was filled with all kinds of ambiguous and low-key chatter.
At the same time, there were several old aunts getting on the bus here, Qi Xi and Gu Yan got up at the same time and gave up their seats to them.
The two who gave up their seats could only stand together, because the car was crowded, they had to lean next to other young couples.
Qi Xi and Gu Yan leaned on such a young couple. The other party looked like a young man in love. Even in the airtight carriage, the two of them were close together like a conjoined kissing fish. The boy bowed his head and whispered something in the girl's ear, and the girl smiled shyly, and then said something. Somehow, the two kissed each other.
The sound of ambiguous kisses was in Qixi's ears.
Qi Xi is not a very conservative person, but standing next to Gu Yan at the moment, hearing the sound of kissing and kissing, Qi Xi was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground and go into it—she was like watching a movie with her parents. Like elementary school students who see adult scenes, there is always a kind of embarrassment and embarrassment of being caught by their parents.
Obviously, if she was alone, Qi Xi wouldn't feel much even if someone kissed passionately in front of her, but when she was with Gu Yan, she seemed... as if she instantly understood what it means to pick out a villa with her awkward toes.
It would be great if he could avoid Gu Yan at this time.
However, the terrible thing is that, because of the crowded space, Qi Xi not only couldn't keep a distance from Gu Yan, but even got closer and closer to Gu Yan during several sudden stops, and the safe distance between the two was also because of the next stop. The passengers in the car got closer and closer, to a distance that Qi Xi thought was quite dangerous.
She initially tries to shift her gaze to the left, where the couple are pecking each other on the cheek.
She tried to turn her eyes to the right again. The couple on the right were whispering to each other, and the boy kissed his girlfriend's neck from time to time.
Qi Xi was already blushing, short of breath and embarrassed to the point of ascension to heaven, she could only look back as expressionlessly as possible, and then looked forward blankly.
However, at this moment, Qi Xi's height showed a huge disadvantage. She was a little shorter than Gu Yan, who was tall and had long legs. Once she looked straight ahead, her eyes fell on Gu Yan's lips. It's okay on weekdays, but now in this kind of atmosphere, she stared at Gu Yan's lips, which made people have a bit too gorgeous daydream...
Sure enough, Gu Yan, who was stared at his lips, had a problem. He lowered his head and looked at Qi Xi expressionlessly: "Is there anything on my face that deserves your attention? Why do you keep staring at my face?"
Qi Xi scolded Zhao Yiran, who swears that he has the most beautiful memories, in his heart, but everything seemed to be useless in the end to divert attention. She and Gu Yan were too close at the moment, and the car swayed with the bumps. Under the bumping and pushing of people, she also had to have physical contact with Gu Yan from time to time, and Qi Xi could even feel every breath of Gu Yan when he spoke.
But Gu Yan's face seemed unreadable, Qi Xi looked away graciously, and looked at a rare lone boy not far away, who was listening to music with earphones plugged in.
As a result, not long after he stared at the other party, Gu Yan seemed to have another opinion. The man was hard to please and said, "Why are you always staring at other people's faces?"
You can't look at him, and you can't look at others! How could Gu Yan manage so leniently!
