-刘玲(Liú líng)- Liu Ling, Su Rui’s university roommate
After saying that, Gu Yu Cheng scrolled through the picture and noticed that Su Rui posted in Moments. The corner of his mouth curved.
He pressed like on Su Rui’s post.
He didn’t hide it from the two people who were the gaze of the curious and secretly glimpsing.The bottom of Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes seemed to flash a glimmer of light, and it looked like he was bragging no matter how you look at it.
Just that, Gu Yu Cheng wouldn’t admit it.
On the other side, after careful selection and careful editing of the photos, Su Rui posted on her Moments.
Note: Check-in[1] at Red Maple forest+date/heart shape~
[Liu Ling]: I’m alone in an empty room…
[Tang Xiao Niu]: Ohh oh I see, so you didn’t go out with me because you went to Red Maple Forest! Be honest, was it a date?
[Wang Yi Yuan]: The photos are beautiful! Did you go with your family?
……
Looking at the comments that quickly refreshed below, Su Rui smiled and decided not to reply.
The next second, Su Rui saw Gu Yu Cheng had liked her post.
Was he scrolling through Moments? Why hasn’t Gu Yu Cheng slept yet?
As she thought about it, Su Rui sent a WeChat message to Gu Yu Cheng.
[Su Xiao Rui]: Aren’t you busy?
[Gu Yu Cheng]: No, I’m outside.
After he replied swiftly to Su Rui’s message, he looked at the content that was sent. He felt somewhat unsatisfied and furrowed his brows.
[Gu Yu Cheng]: I’m drinking with my friends outside.
[Gu Yu Cheng]: [sharing my location]
Looking at Gu Yu Cheng’s location, the corner of Su Rui’s mouth twitched slightly and couldn’t help but felt like laughing.
Chairman Gu, don’t you know what it means to share your location with another person?
Without waiting for Su Rui to finish laughing, Gu Yu Cheng sent another photo.
The background of the photo was a very high-level club room which is the type where it is decent. There were two people that Su Rui doesn’t recognise.
[Gu Yu Cheng]: On the right, it’s Zhou Zi Yuan, the young chairman of the Zhou company. On the right, it’s Tang Jun.
[Gu Yu Cheng]: Tang Jun is Tang Xiao’s elder brother.
Tang Jun was the name of a deeply emotional second male lead in a particular sweet romance novel.
In that novel, the second male lead was deeply in love with the female lead. Not only did he contribute a lot by opening up the domestic market and gaining popularity very quickly for the female lead, but also helped the female lead deal with many online public opinions and gossip events.
In every novel, there was a female lead, and there would always be a female supporting character that kept courting disaster.
In the end, this affectionate second male lead prevented a lot of the frames and harms by the evil female antagonists.
Unfortunately, the second male lead was merely a second male lead.
No matter how well he treated the female lead, the female lead will never be his. In the end, even if his efforts did not end up being a fiasco[2], his ending is destined to merely be the female lead’s back-up plan.
Sadly, Su Rui knew nothing about it.
Seeing Gu Yu Cheng’s explanation, Su Rui knitted her eyebrows. She thought, “For him to specially explain, it would mean that both of them are serious friends that Gu Yu Cheng can look up to.”
She looked at the picture and paused for a few seconds. Su Rui roughly remembered both of them.
In the private room, the two people who were forced to take a photo looked at Gu Yu Cheng.
“Pft, you’re not reporting to your girlfriend, are you?” Zhou Zi Yuan looked at Gu Yu Cheng laughingly and asked.
He didn’t think that Gu Yu Cheng took photos to record this rare gathering.
So, what other reasons could there be?
“How is it? Let’s show your girlfriend both of us here? To see if we looked decent?” Zhou Zi Yuan laughed and said.
Then, he saw Gu Yu Cheng faintly look up and said, “this problem, you can wait until you have a girlfriend then discuss with me.”
Zhou Zi Yuan: What the f*ck![3]
In fact, Gu Yu Cheng had not considered coming and drinking with these two people.
However, after sending Su Rui to the Chen family’s banquet, Gu Yu Cheng was suddenly bored alone and didn’t want to return to the company to work.
And at this time, he received a phone call from Zhou Zi Yuan, and he simply agreed.
[Gu Yu Cheng]: What happened just now?
Thinking of how Su Rui suddenly hung up the phone, Gu Yu Cheng asked.
[Su Xiao Rui]: Just now, my mother came to talk to me about something.
Su Rui swore that it was totally a subconscious conditioned reflex when she hung up Gu Yu Cheng’s phone call.
It was also odd that both of them are dating and there was nothing to hide, so why did she feel guilty just now?
Then, Su Rui sent Gu Yu Cheng a humble and cute [sorry] sticker.
Looking at Su Rui’s sticker, he didn’t care about the two people present and chuckled without concealing it.
[Gu Yu Cheng]: Let’s go shopping tomorrow?
Su Rui: No!
Not only because shopping was boring for Gu Yu Cheng
Most importantly, she would feel uncomfortable with Gu Yu Cheng.
What should she buy when they are shopping on the street?
Small items?
It seemed that their relationship had not reached that stage.
Clothes?
Uh, it’s quite embarrassing.
[Su Xiao Rui]: Let’s discuss after meeting tomorrow.
After Su Rui sent that message, Gu Yu Cheng quickly replied, “Alright.”
[Gu Yu Cheng]: Rest early.
[Gu Yu Cheng]: Good night.
[Su Xiao Rui]: En En, Goodnight.
After thinking about it, Su Rui sent another message.
[Su Xiao Rui]: You should rest early as well. Don’t stay up too late.
[Su Xiao Rui]: And, drink less alcohol.
As Gu Yu Cheng read Su Rui’s WeChat message, the glass that he was about to place on his lips stopped.
The next second, Gu Yu Cheng calmly placed his glass back on the table.
Looking at Gu Yu Cheng’s series of actions, Zhou Zi Yuan sitting opposite of him tut in amazement.
“Pft, your girlfriend didn’t let you drink?”
“What’s the matter? You have something against that?” Gu Yu Cheng knitted his eyebrows and did not conceal the ‘fact’ and said.
“I’m leaving.” With that, Gu Yu Cheng stood up directly and grabbed his coat.
“You aren’t for real right? Your family discipline is so strict?” Zhou Zi Yuan said incredulously, but he received a cold glare from Gu Yu Cheng.
“I have plans tomorrow.”
“Come on, tomorrow is a weekend. You can…” As he said, Zhou Zi Yuan suddenly stopped talking. He looked at Gu Yu Cheng amazingly, “A date?”
When Gu Yu Cheng heard Zhou Zi Yuan’s question, Gu Yu Cheng glanced at Zhou Zi Yuan and did not disagree.
Looking at Zhou Zi Yuan, Gu Yu Cheng threw his car key to Tang Jun beside him.
“In a while, Wang Zhou will be here. Let him drive the car directly to the Gu house.”
The author has something to say:
1.WeChat interaction should be considered as interactions right. Hahaha~.
2.I know that many people are already looking forward to both of them seeing each other and about their love history, it would be in the ~.
3.I have seen a lot of comments about love, marriage concept, and how to deal with your current romantic relationship and exes. Everyone has their considerations and a set of handling methods. There is no right or wrong, no good or bad~.
Su Rui also had her considerations. (I left some reasonable details in many areas.)
I will state the same phrase. Everyone has their own opinion, you are welcome to discuss it, but don’t attack one another. Thank you for the little angels who cast the overlord vote or irrigate the nutrient solution for me~
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard.
[1] 打卡[dǎkǎ]- Check-in/marked. There are three meanings to this. Firstly, it could mean clock on or off as an employee. Secondly, relating to self-disciple, it could mean ‘marked off/checked off’ a particular goal where it would be recorded such as the process of learning a language and exercise. Thirdly, it could mean to arrive at a certain location or to own a certain object (where it would usually be shown off to) as an Internet celebrity or centre of historic interest.
[2] 鸡飞蛋打(jīfēidàndǎ) is a Chinese idiom that basically means that no matter how much effort a person put/how much the person tried, in the end “the hen has flown away and the eggs in the coop are broken-all is lost. The effort was a fiasco.
[3] WOC- In a pinyin-based input method, typing “woc” will lead to suggestions for 臥槽(wòcáo) which means “What the f*ck”
