Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan also looked at Qi Xi.
The two of them seemed to be staring at each other. Qi Xi's face gradually turned red under this kind of staring. She didn't know what to do, and her hands and feet seemed to be so redundant that she didn't know where to put them. , and didn't know what to say next, as if this quietness was a rare balance, she blinked, staring at Gu Yan from time to time.
In the end, it was Gu Yan who recovered his voice first. He looked at Qi Xi, his tone was hesitant and persuasive, but it was so gentle that it seemed unreal: "Qi Xi, what you said just now, can you say it again?"
Qi Xi glared at Gu Yan: "Shouldn't you know about it last night? What else do I need to say, I lost all face last night."
Gu Yan looked a little embarrassed, he glanced at Qi Xi, lowered his gaze, and his face was slightly red: "Frankly speaking, I still suspect that I had a dream last night, the drunk person was me, no You, because I still don't have a sense of reality. I can't believe you would say that to me."
What kind of words! It's as if I sexually harassed him!
Qi Xi glared at Gu Yan sternly: "What did I say, and I didn't say anything that children should not break the law and discipline."
Gu Yan coughed lowly, and then looked away, as if he didn't dare to look directly at Qi Xi: "What you said has the same effect in my heart as breaking the law, and I have no resistance at all. You can do whatever you want to me, like a dream, so it seems that everything will be done for you."
Although Gu Yan said so, Qi Xi felt that she was the one who had no sense of reality. Her heart was mixed with embarrassment, shyness and disbelief, as if she was invited to a wedding ceremony, and only after entering the venue did she realize that she was not here. The spectators who watched the ceremony were the protagonist who got married today, and the groom was the man she had loved for many years. At this moment, she felt as if she had been hit by a big prize, as if she was the luckiest person in the world.
But it's not okay to be very excited to be seen by Gu Yan, Qi Xi suppressed her excitement of wanting to go around in circles, she was still very wronged: "You said that you like me so much, since you claim to like me early in the morning , then why was I the one who confessed to me, obviously according to the first come, first served, you liked me first, shouldn't it be you who can't help confessing to me first in the long-term relationship and increasingly strong heartbeat?"
In the end, he was stunned until Qi Xi couldn't help but get drunk before speaking out.
Being asked such a question, Gu Yan felt a little embarrassed. He explained clumsily: "I was looking for you last night, and I planned to confess my love again, but I didn't expect..."
Qi Xi felt sore in his heart, and couldn't help muttering: "What again? You said it as if you confessed your love once before..."
Gu Yan lowered his head, and his voice became low: "I was rejected by you before I had time to say it at the graduation ceremony. I have already confessed my love in my heart and got your answer."
How can this be the same!
"If you write a sincere letter to express your love, give it to me face to face, and say to me that you like what I like, please, please, I will fall in love with you, and I, I will not treat you like that. "
Qi Xi recalled her generous speech at the graduation ceremony, and felt her cheeks were hot. She cleared her throat and pretended to be calm: "After all, I am a very kind person that Rongshi rarely sees. If you really You can’t do without me, if you think I’m a necessity in your life, then I might still be willing to do good deeds every day.”
Now Qi Xi is completely sober, and the details that were blurred due to drunkenness before have returned to their place in a hurry. When she thought of her behavior last night, she really wanted to dig a hole and escape immediately. Thinking about last night in the bar is also counted. There was a little commotion in a small area, maybe someone took a video and uploaded it.
What a shame!
Qi Xi almost wanted to cover her face, so as not to face herself last night, she only remembered that she hugged Gu Yan willfully and would not let go, and called out "I want this" in a crying voice.
"Even, even if I said that at the graduation ceremony, but it was a misunderstanding, I also asked you to clarify and apologize. Later, we are still working together in a team of the competition and cooperation institute. Isn't my friendliness to you not enough? Then Why didn't you confess for so long?"
When Qi Xi thought of this, he couldn't help feeling aggrieved: "I went to participate in Zhao Yiran's fellowship between the public prosecutors and the law, and many of them met me once, and they all confessed their love to me through Zhao Yiran, you are in the queue What is the number one doing here..."
For so long, Qi Xi suffered so much for nothing, and Qi Xi waited for so long for nothing.
"I'm also very envious of the kind of person who can confess his love just by meeting you." Gu Yan's voice sounded a bit dull after hearing that Qi Xi had been confessed by so many people before, and he looked away, "But I Can't do it."
Then Gu Yan raised his head again and looked into Qi Xi's eyes: "Because I like you more than all of them."
The man's voice was low, with a sense of indulging that made people unconscious: "I also hope that you and I only met once, because we only met once, and it was only out of the most elementary impulse of seeing sex, so I hold you I have the mentality of confessing my love and giving it a try. If I fail, I won’t lose too much, but if I succeed, I will earn a mentality, so that I can easily say that I like you anytime, anywhere, and ask you to associate with me.”
"Because I didn't give too much emotion, even if I was rejected, I wouldn't feel a big blow to such a confession."
Gu Yan lowered his gaze: "But I can't accept being rejected by you again."
"Qixi, to me, you are an existence that I like more than I like."
Gu Yan smiled self-deprecatingly: "So maybe liking is restraint. With the episode of the graduation ceremony, no matter how friendly you are to me, I only dare to take your attitude as compensation for me. , until I am 100% sure, I dare not try to confess my love again."
Gu Yan looked into Qi Xi's eyes: "Qi Xi, I'm not as brave as you think, I'm just a normal person, and I'm afraid of disappointment, so I learned to restrain myself, like a poor kid who wants to eat sweets, don't face me. Stretch out your hand to ask for candy, although you can’t get any candy in the end, it looks better than asking for it but still not getting any candy, and it becomes less pitiful and pathetic. To be able to straighten my back and act like I didn't think too much about those candies."
When Gu Yan said this, it seemed as if he suddenly remembered something: "And it was you who said that at this stage, you should be obsessed with work and have no intention of falling in love. What kind of men will only affect the speed of your drawing your sword, and then you turn around and go to some friendship?" Yes, and go to the bar, it seems that I am the only one who is stupid enough to believe in your evil."
Gu Yan's logic was strict, and at this moment, his eyes also showed a kind of pressing swearing that he would not give up, like a big house who was abandoned from beginning to end to ask for an explanation.
Qi Xi's heartbeat became very fast all of a sudden, and her mind was in turmoil. She didn't dare to look directly at Gu Yan's questioning eyes, so she could only dodge her eyes from side to side and said softly: "It's not okay to say what others say, it's really good to be obsessed with career." .”
Qi Xi struggled for a while, but in the end, he bit his lip and said it with all his might: "But if I know it's you, I think it might be okay."
Gu Yan was stunned.
Qi Xi went all out: "If you said that you want candy, I will definitely give it to you."
She became a little embarrassed, not like herself, she obviously spoke by herself, but as if she didn't want Gu Yan to hear it, she said in a deliberately soft voice: "It's good to help you, let me help you It doesn't matter if you cook or be your girlfriend. As long as you ask, I can't refuse you."
Gu Yan's originally slightly aggressive eyes became gentle, and he covered his eyes with his hands, as if he didn't want Qi Xi to see through his eyes at the moment.
After a while, Gu Yan let go of his hand, but there was still helpless love in his eyes, he didn't say anything else, he just called Qi Xi's name a little helplessly, and then tentatively wanted to pull Qi Xi's hand.
The atmosphere is really good, but…
Qi Xi suddenly thought of the key question and hadn't asked it yet. She withdrew her hand, frowned slightly, and put on a defensive posture: "You have finished asking me, and I haven't finished asking you yet, so what do you say when you open the room? I I saw you and your female neighbor going to the hotel. If you want to be my boyfriend, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have, just explain this clearly first."
Qi Xi pointed to his own eyes: "I didn't wrong you, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"I don't have a girlfriend, she's not my girlfriend." Gu Yan stared into Qi Xi's eyes, looking a little dizzy, and said seriously, "I think there is only one girlfriend."
"Qixi, from the beginning to the end, I hope that the person who can be my girlfriend is you." Gu Yan's tone was a little unnatural, as if he was a little embarrassed, but Gu Yan finally continued what he wanted to say, "You persuaded me to give up before, but I can't give up. As long as you are not married, I think I have a chance."
Qi Xi remembered that after reading "Gu Yan Daquan" he was complacent and felt that he had mastered the code to build a good relationship with Gu Yan, and at the moment he felt both ashamed and annoyed.
She realized again that it turned out that the woman that Gu Yan said was bad to him was always herself.
It turned out that the scumbag was actually herself.
Qi Xi's face burned a little: "I treated you so badly back then, do you still like me?"
"I like it." Gu Yan pursed his lower lip, "What reason can I have for liking? Even if I know you don't like me, my reason knows that I should stop, but my heart is not so easy to control."
"The female neighbor you mentioned, her name is Lin Lin, I sent her to the hotel that day because she was stalked and harassed by her ex-boyfriend. Dao, threatened that if she didn't get back together, she would die with her, she knew I was a lawyer, so she asked me for help."
Gu Yan's expression was very serious: "That day, in order to prevent danger from being blocked by her ex-boyfriend at the door, because before that day, her ex-boyfriend had already come to harass her once, and she was waiting at the subway entrance once, and she was also in the owner group Help, I just got out of the subway and lived in the same building with her, so I went home with her on the way."
"So she thanked you in the elevator for taking her home earlier?"
Gu Yan nodded: "I saw her ex-boyfriend from a distance, and felt that the whole person was very vicious. She showed me the threatening message of her ex-boyfriend. I felt that the other party was very emotional, and I was sure he would do something. Extreme behavior, that's why I advised her not to go home and stay in a hotel that night. She was afraid that her ex-boyfriend would be in ambush at the gate of the community, and it was really late that day, so I went to the hotel with her, but I sent her to the hotel to wait for her After I got the room card, I left without even sending her to the door."
It turns out that Gu Yan wasn't that fast, maybe he wasn't bad either...
Now Qi Xi, the little fox who was suddenly stuffed with a vineyard pass in his hand, immediately changed his previous rhetoric, and no longer wanted to talk about sour grapes.
Since this grape will be her own in the future, as long as it is her own, it is the best. She said that the sweet one is sweet. Qi Xi decided to announce that Gu Yan can do it again.
Gu Yan didn't know what was going on in Qixi's head: "And if you notice the time when I send her to the hotel and the time when I go home, you will find that I am still taking care of her. It is completely unrealistic to have a room with her, because the time simply does not allow it."
Qi Xi couldn't help but muttered: "I'm paying attention to the time..."
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "Then you may not be clear, anyway, it is impossible to do anything in such a short time." He tried to explain, "I really have nothing to do with her. You may be a girl, and you don't know much about boys' common sense."
"It's not that I don't surf the Internet..." Qi Xi was a little dissatisfied, and she muttered in a low voice, "Short can do a lot of things, otherwise why are there so many small advertisements for men's subjects on the official car? Isn't there a market? Many men It's very strong, but it's probably a good physique, but it just doesn't work..."
"..."
Gu Yan's originally blissful and gentle temperament suddenly faded, and the man became a little gnashing his teeth, and he clarified word by word: "Not everyone is like this, I am not."
ok ok ok.
You can say whatever you want, in short, it turned out that the female neighbor did not have an affair with Gu Yan, and Qi Xi was completely driven by this fact to the point where she couldn't find her happiness.
However, Gu Yan seemed to be unable to pass the previous hurdle, he called Qi Xi's name again, and pulled her out of the huge sense of happiness and dizziness——
The man once again clarified solemnly: "Qixi, I'm not like this, do you know?"
Qi Xi had no choice but to nod repeatedly under Gu Yan's eyes: "I know, I know."
Obviously, Gu Yan couldn't talk about this kind of topic very calmly, but the desire to clarify his name surpassed everything else. He tried to pretend to be calm and emphasized repeatedly: "In short, the fact will not change because of some rumors. of."
Qi Xi nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, facts speak louder than words!"
Gu Yan glanced at Qi Xi and wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and didn't say anything.
But probably Qi Xi had a good attitude, Gu Yan seemed to feel better at last, he glanced at Qi Xi again, then cleared his throat, and continued to change the topic back to the right track in a quite serious tone: "Actually, the matter of Lin Lin , I thought about it later, sending the Buddha to the West, if it was more prudent, I should have sent her to the door, but I had selfish intentions that day, and the reason why I was able to come back so quickly was because I only sent her to the lobby of the hotel. She got the room card and entered the elevator, and I left, thinking about it afterwards, I feel a little guilty."
Qi Xi was stunned: "What selfishness?"
"You." Gu Yan stared at Qi Xi's eyes, but quickly moved away embarrassedly. He stared at the ground, as if flowers would bloom on the ground, and tried to speak in a calm tone, "You I’m going to be on duty at the legal aid center the next day, and I’m anxious to go home and finish my work and then write you notes.”
Qi Xi couldn't help but muttered: "That shouldn't make you feel guilty, at least you have dealt with Lin Lin's matter first, and after you have dealt with her matter, you can go home and write the precautions for me to be on duty at the Lawyers Association, otherwise why would I Do you think Lin Lin is your white moonlight? I told you that afternoon that I was going to be on duty at the Lawyers Association, but you ignored me!"
Speaking of this matter, even now, Qi Xi still felt a little wronged. She remembered that she wanted to find Gu Yan to learn from her with great interest, but Gu Yan ignored her at all.
"Because of her affairs, I can deal with them in the shortest time in a very concise and efficient manner; but I can't do your affairs."
Regarding this answer, Qi Xi didn't agree with it: "My matter that time was not that difficult at all. Wouldn't it be over if you gave me a few suggestions on the spot? Why does it take a lot of time?"
Gu Yan didn't look at Qi Xi, as if he could finish his sentence smoothly in this way: "But even if your matter is as small as going to the Lawyers Association on duty, I still don't think there is a way to do it concisely, because it seems that as long as it involves you , I just want to list all the situations I know and all the problems you may encounter, as if I want to predict all the things you may encounter, so as to help you avoid all risks and setbacks."
"Because I don't want to deal with your affairs briefly in a few sentences, so I want to set aside a whole piece of time for you, because it's you, I think it's disrespectful to treat you with fragmented moments."
"Actually, that night, I felt very depressed while writing the notices to you." Gu Yan lowered his gaze, "Although I didn't sign a strict agency agreement, morally speaking, Lin Lin is also considered half of my clients. Hers is more urgent but you are always on my incorrigible mind and you always come first, she was crying to me about how her ex boyfriend used their relationship to learn her phone code to decipher the copy I searched all of her social network chat messages, and found out some remarks she made about her current boss and colleagues behind her back, threatened her, and controlled her emotions, but I was thinking of you."
Qi Xi originally thought that the most irresistible thing for a person should be a flamboyant confession, but when things came to an end, she realized that the most difficult thing to resist is always the simplest and most straightforward thing.
There was no embellishment in Gu Yan's words, he even expounded with a bit of frustration, not so much a confession, but more like a self-analysis and introspection, but Qi Xi felt that there was nothing more touching than these words.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her voice asked softly, "What are you thinking about me?"
"I think if you were my girlfriend, I would definitely not let you suffer any harm." Gu Yan seemed embarrassed when he said this, but this man still pretended to be very natural and calm, "Later I didn't think about anything else, I just wanted to see you very much."
The instigator didn't care, but Qi Xi blushed when he heard it.
Gu Yan has always been aloof in her heart, he is the number one insurmountable, a person who can deal with everything calmly, Qi Xi can hardly imagine that this seemingly impeccable person's heart is so fierce and full of passion meaning.
She became a little nervous but felt a little sour and sweet: "So you secretly answered Lin Lin's phone call to deal with her and her ex-boyfriend?"
"Yes." Gu Yan looked at Qi Xi, "Her ex-boyfriend is very careful, and all the threats and stalking made it difficult to obtain evidence, so I gave Lin Lin some guidance at that time, teaching her how to keep as much as possible. Evidence, so that I can sue her ex-boyfriend, but she is not a legal professional after all, and many practical problems are still relatively easy to be flawed, so she will often call me to ask what to do next, and sometimes she will come to compete for cooperation along the way , show me the evidence she secretly filmed about her ex-boyfriend threatening her, and let me check whether it is effective."
So it is!
Qi Xi was a little annoyed: "Then why didn't you tell me! I misunderstood..."
"I thought you didn't care about me at all." Gu Yan's voice was low, "I thought you wouldn't want to know these things, nor would you be curious about what I was doing, so I didn't tell you."
"Besides, because this matter is very disgraceful to Lin Lin, and she also had a boyfriend who was dating at the time, she didn't want to attract the attention of her current boyfriend and ruin the relationship, so she didn't want to say anything, and asked me to keep it a secret. "
But if you said it earlier! Qi Xi thought, she wouldn't just know how Gu Yan feels about her at this time! Maybe we can be together long ago! Even if he couldn't explain what exactly happened to Lin Lin, if he just mentioned it as a favor to Lin Lin, he wouldn't misunderstand it.
Although Qi Xi didn't say anything, her expression probably let Gu Yan know her emotions, the man paused before continuing: "Frankly speaking, I really want to share everything in my life with you , I will show you all my emotions, and I am willing to report everything to you, but if this is the case, what if you are scared away?"
He looked down at the floor: "When you don't like me, when you criticize you in public and say that you are the person I can never catch up with in my life, I feel that I am already the most miserable person in the world, but if you obviously don't like me I, I still give you everything I have and my heart without reservation, wouldn't that be more miserable and humble?"
Gu Yan raised his head, looked at Qi Xi, and said in a subtle and restrained tone: "Qi Xi, as I said, I am also a normal person, and I am also afraid of disappointment, especially the disappointment after looking forward again and again."
Gu Yan's appearance tends to be cold, because his appearance is too good, so he feels a little unapproachable, but at this moment his tone is gentle and harmless. Even though Qi Xi had hurt him unintentionally, he had no intention of blaming Qi Xi at all.
Now Qi Xi can suddenly understand why Gu Yan was accidentally injured like that at the graduation ceremony. Gu Yan didn't take any action, he didn't sue or blame, he just accepted everything silently and hurt, the only thing he did was to give up studying abroad, I hope to stay away from Qi Xi so that I can cut off this hopeless love.
It's not that Qi Xi didn't regret and blame herself for her impulsiveness during the graduation ceremony, but she has never felt so distressed and uncomfortable at this moment.
It turned out that Gu Yan really planned to confess to himself.
What kind of mood should he feel when he is rejected so mercilessly by the person he likes in public
For the first time, Qi Xi held Gu Yan's face firmly, looked him in the eyes seriously, and decided to apologize: "Gu Yan, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, the face touched by Qi Xi's hand turned a little red, and then he smiled, his voice was gentle: "It's okay. Qi Xi, no matter what you do, it will always be okay."
Gu Yan didn't say anything strange, but Qi Xi's whole body became very strange. Her heart seemed to be soaked in sour plum juice, infected with the sour taste of sour plum juice, her whole heart seemed to be wrinkled, bringing I felt a strange throbbing, a little uncomfortable, a little happy, a little embarrassing and hot-faced.
So what have you done!
She thought she had mastered Gu Yan Daquan, but in the end she got a Gu Yan Daquan Daquan.
She thought she was following Gu Yan's fancy, but ended up playing in Gu Yan's minefield all day long.
It was really because Gu Yan was very gentle that not only did he not get angry once, but he even endured it silently.
Gu Yan didn't say anything, but Qi Xi was dying of guilt in his heart: "I'm sorry Gu Yan, I bought durian for you at that time, but I didn't like it either. I thought I was giving up my life to accompany a gentleman, but I didn't expect us It's cannibalism..."
"There is also something with coriander for you to eat, I don't actually like coriander..."
…
Qi Xi counted his mistakes all the way, but Gu Yan was still very gentle, he even thought for a while: "Have you done so many things that run counter to my preferences?"
Then he interrupted Qi Xi: "Don't think about it anymore, and don't say it anymore, because I can't remember these things." The man looked away and said in an unnatural tone, "It seems that every time you treat me even It’s not such a good thing, I will forget it when I turn around, but when you are kind to me, I will remember it for a long time. For these very small good things, it seems that I can always stay around you with a thick skin. "
Qi Xi had no choice but to explain the origin of "Gu Yan Daquan" to Gu Yan, and then she looked at Gu Yan pitifully: "Determining a person's crime depends on subjective intent, you see, I have never done anything bad to you subjectively. Intent, how can you accuse me of treating you poorly!"
Qi Xi was also very wronged by this: "I also studied the 'Gu Yan Daquan' very carefully, and even specially printed a copy, and took it out from time to time to look through it, and it was almost torn. How did I know that your fans are so bad..."
Gu Yan held back, as if he couldn't hold back in the end: "It doesn't matter anything else, but you said you want to be friends with me."
"I also hope that my friendship with you is as strong as stainless steel."
"Send me a good person card, I want to follow you in everything in order to fall in love with you, but you said you want to be friends with me."
"I had a good chat with the blind date introduced by your father, and I hope I don't come out halfway and call you out."
"Your junior asks you for WeChat and you give it. You don't even look at me and stand aside."
"I also followed Zhao Yiran to some sorority meeting in the court and procuratorate. After a while, I met a judge and had a good chat. Your classmate and I are still colleagues for four years. Why don't you usually come to chat with me?"
"Say that you have to resign because there is no welfare activity for competition and cooperation. I feel that I am not as important as a gift box of nuts for any welfare activity in your heart."
"But if you really think that welfare is more important, I can only accept it. In the end, for you and to convince my sister, I had to pay for the welfare activity of the whole institute at my own expense. I got a coupon for going to the movies with you for dinner, but because I didn’t do my research well, it turned into such an embarrassing movie-watching experience, and in the end it seemed like I didn’t get anything good, and you didn’t like me any more.”
"I misunderstood that I was in a relationship with my neighbor and didn't know how to ask me, ran to the bar, do you know how dangerous it is?"
Sure enough, no matter how gentle a man is, he has a temper. It's okay if Gu Yan doesn't say anything, but this accusation seems to be able to enumerate Qi Xi's ten deadly crimes.
Originally it was Qi Xi who took the initiative to question Gu Yan and his female neighbor, but in the end it was Gu Yan who accused Qi Xi.
Qi Xi had no choice but to start explaining in a hurry—
"There's nothing wrong with being friends, isn't a girlfriend also a kind of friend?"
"That piece of stainless steel, I will place a new custom order today and change it to 'Sturdy love is always with you like stainless steel'."
"Delete my junior's WeChat immediately!"
"In the circle of friends, tell the whole world to give you a name!"
…
Qi Xi talked a lot dryly, she was a little nervous and incoherent, and when she was talking, Gu Yan looked at her very gently, his eyes were filled with fiery temperature, as gentle as the sun , Surrounding you, sometimes you don’t know exactly where it is, but it’s everywhere.
Qi Xi suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
She recalled the memory of being drunk last night, then walked towards Gu Yan clumsily and jerky, hugged him, leaned her head in his arms, and listened to the other's heartbeat, showing that she was very dependent on him, there was no way not to The other party's appearance.
"I'm sorry Gu Yan, but this kind of thing will never happen again in the future, and I will treat you very well, very well, very well."
Qi Xi buried her head in Gu Yan's chest again. She was a little embarrassed and a little nervous, and she was full of confusion and anxiety about doing something like this for the first time: "So you will be my boyfriend, okay?"
Although the two people meet almost every day because they work together in the competition and cooperation firm, they can be said to be familiar with each other, but they are still unfamiliar, especially for the current mode of getting along that requires switching identities. Qi Xi was a little awkward and nervous, and Gu Yan couldn't say it was any better. This man, who was always calm and reserved when handling cases, was now a little shy and at a loss as he didn't know what to do next.
But after only being tense for a very short moment, Gu Yan suddenly relaxed.
He didn't do anything on purpose, it seemed that he just obeyed his heart, and then Qi Xi felt his hand gently touch his head, followed by his gentle and helpless voice—
"You know I can't say no to you."
