Gu Xijun's eating was elegant, only chucking a small amount at a time, rolling it into a ball and slowly moving it to her mouth. I guess her mood had improved, and as she ate, she complained to Cheng Zihao: In the past, every time I came home after eating hot and sour noodles, my mother would criticize my brother for bringing me to eat this kind of street food, which was unhygienic.
Perhaps it was Cheng Zihao's illusion that the woman in front of him had discarded her usual tranquil and calm demeanor, and the whole person was shrouded in a layer of faint sadness.
She seemed to rarely talk about the past in front of others, eating powder as she spoke, her cheeks scarlet like ripe tomatoes.
Although my brother spoils me, he has a weak nature. Gu Xijun's complexion was bleak and her voice was getting smaller and smaller: my father is getting married, as a daughter I only learned about it today from other people's mouths, do I look like an abandoned puppy to you?
Slightly red eyes glistening with tears, Gu Xijun put down her chopsticks, sighed, and fell back into the midst of boundless silence.
She felt like a little girl who hadn't grown up when things came to this point. Going to great lengths to wreak havoc in order to get the attention of her elders, and as a result, this childish act didn't sway her father's decision from start to finish.
He finally chose the younger woman and gave up his once doted upon daughter.
Perhaps from the moment she learned of her mother's illness, Gu Xijun's life had changed. She was the one who died defending a home that had long been torn apart and tried everything to save her father's heart, only to lose it in the end.
The moment she was kicked out of the Gu family, Gu Xijun also expected this day to come. It was just that everything came so fast that her heart hurt so badly.
The slightly cool large hand stroked her back, gently caressing it. Cheng Zihao sighed and said, I am not very good at comforting women, if you want to cry, you can lean on my shoulder.
Gu Xijun helplessly shook her head and said with a bitter smile, In these few months in the sea city, I have changed a lot. It is no longer the former Miss Gu who cries and waits for others to coax her. Before going out, I have already prepared my heart.
No one knew that she had less than two thousand dollars in cash left on her in her first month of being new to Haymarket, except for the money she cashed the check to buy a house of her own.
During the first month without a job, she bought a box of instant noodles and hid at home every day, logging into job sites on her cell phone. Interview, suffer rejection; continue to interview, continue to be rejected.
It wasn't until she bumped into Liang Hang a month later, when her hand-drawn style work was noticed, that she became a design assistant at an advertising agency with a base salary.
When you feel helpless, don't forget that you still have me by your side. Cheng Zihao looked thoughtfully at Gu Xijun's side face, and the feeling of pity in his heart grew stronger.
A self-deprecating smile crept up Gu Xijun's brow as she shook her head and said, I appreciate you listening to me whine, but with two more deals to go, our relationship will end and we'll each go our separate ways from now on. People who don't belong to the same world will only end up rubbing shoulders.
I will try to enter your world. Cheng Zihao's eyes converged, and he said in a serious manner, Don't you know that the 100,000-a-plate meal is just an excuse, and that I want to pursue you is the real thing?
Estimated to be shocked by the other party's words, Gu Xijun was stunned, staring at the face that was getting closer and closer to his own, and asked moodily: How can it be, you ...
Cheng Zihao's well-defined face was against a place less than ten centimeters away from himself. He said word by word, seriously and earnestly: I'm very busy, if it wasn't for you, would I take the trouble to approach so step by step?
After saying that, before Gu Xijun could react, Cheng Zihao had already blocked her lips and kissed her delicately and gently.
