esilient. One second she could be scolded to tears by Director Xiao, and the next she'd be following him around like his loyal sidekick, completely unfazed by being publicly embarrassed. 。Shutinglan k...Lu Kuo was carefree and went back to his room for a good night's sleep. He didn't wake up until the morning light. When he went to take a shower, he remembered that Gu Ruanruan should have been sleeping at his place last night. But when he came out of the bathroom, she was gone and left him a message:

“I’m going back to school now, first class in the morning.” It was posted a little after 5 am.

They got home last night already past 2 am, so they only slept for three hours before leaving He felt a little annoyed, wishing he had sent her back to school last night. He didn't even take his car keys, so he didn't drive either

He sent her a message asking, "Are you at school yet" It takes about 40 minutes to get from his house to Senzhou University without traffic, and it's already 9 o'clock.

He didn't get a reply until he drove to Tingjing Finance.

"I'm at school, just starting class."

"How do you go to school in the morning"

""

"Why didn't you ask me to take you."

“.....” She sent a string of ellipses. He still had the nerve to say that last night, it was he who went back to his room and fell asleep as soon as he got home. In the morning, when she left, she snuck into his room for a peek and saw that he was sleeping soundly. She didn't dare wake him.

Lu Kuo saw a line of ellipses, knowing she wanted to express her speechless feeling. He thought about it and didn't have much to reply with, so he let it go.

He thought, he really wasn't a good man. He did have feelings for Gu Ruanruan, and the kiss that night had made his heart skip a beat, but afterward, when he cooled down, it was as if he had become a Buddhist again.

He remembered when he used to chase Chen, making grand promises and boasting about it to everyone. But what had he actually done for Chen Had he even bothered to understand what she truly wanted It seemed not. Even during those two years she spent starting a business in Shenzhou, he watched helplessly as she struggled and failed in the advertising industry, going bankrupt one after another. He didn't offer any help whatsoever. So, how could he claim to have ever loved her

Thinking about it this way, he's really a scumbag. He shouldn't waste other girls' time.

When he was deeply reflecting on himself, Gu Ruanruan's message came again.

"I forgot to say thank you. You specially accompanied me to the capital city to see my grandpa's house over the weekend. Also, about that big meal I promised you last time, I get paid on Friday, so how about I treat you to dinner on Friday night You can come pick me up from school."

He saw the message and burst out laughing.

Gu Ruanruan may appear to be meek and amiable on the surface, like someone who has no strong opinions and goes with the flow. However, she is actually a decisive person, even a bit domineering in her actions.

If she says she wants to pursue him, she'll pursue him. If she says she wants to kiss him, she'll kiss him. And for messages like this one, she doesn't care if you agree or disagree; she's already decided to take you out for a meal, and you have to follow her plan.

He was just reflecting on himself, thinking he was a scumbag and shouldn't hold back the girl, but when he saw the message, he couldn't help but reply: "Can I say I don't have time on Friday"

"No!!!" Sure enough, he was domineering.

"This time, you can't dismiss me with just a pancake."

"Feast!!!"

"Teacher Gu, have any students ever told you that when chatting with people by typing, it's best to use fewer exclamation marks Too many exclamation marks can make the other person feel pressured."

Gu Ruanruan: "!!!!!!!!!"

She's taking courses related to visual communication this semester. She mainly communicates with students by exchanging works. After being reminded by Lu Kuo, she glanced at the chat dialogs with her students. Fortunately, she rarely uses exclamation marks or emoticons. In front of her students, she is a very exemplary teacher and never takes things lightly.

Lu Kuo was suffocated by so many exclamation marks. He closed the chat interface and went to do something else, saying he'd talk later on Friday night. While he wasn't very diligent about his work, and found reports, trend charts, etc. a headache just to look at, he had a unique talent for finding projects and negotiating investments. He was sharp about the market, and the investment projects he led over the past two years consistently had a high return on investment. He was a social butterfly with a wide network of contacts. He could seal deals with a smile and effortless charm.

And that creepy data, analysis charts, and so on, let the professionals handle it. Don't let him see them; just tell him the final result. So he has his own way of surviving, unlike Zhuo Y uan who is a management-oriented and technical talent with extremely high self-expectations, working himself to the bone every day.

Zuo Yunan was busy, and Shu Tinglan was equally busy. Every day was either seeing clients or on the way to see clients. They had originally planned to have a good rest for two days over the weekend, but she told him that she would be going on a business trip to Qining for two days this weekend.

"Go to Qining I'll go with you." Zhuo Yu'an thought about going with her. That place was her wound.

"No need, I'm going to meet clients. Cheng Chen made me stay at her place, so it wouldn't be convenient for you to go." Hearing that she was staying at Cheng Chen's place, he realized it wouldn't be convenient for him to go either, so he had to give up.

Shu Tinglan didn't go to Qining for a business trip. Maybe she was influenced by Lin Zhifei's daily proposal videos. Recently, she's become obsessed with the idea of getting engaged and can't wait. She's just waiting for summer vacation when the children come back so she can take action.

This trip to Qining is mainly to film some videos. He once said that their story began at Qining High School, and she didn't know about that part, so she wanted to fill in that part of the story.

She already has some ideas about how to propose.

Cheng Chen learned that she was returning to Qining, so he specially came to pick her up and accompanied her to Qining High School for photos and videos. They also filmed the streets and alleys they had walked through before, including that rice noodle shop.

"Will Zhu Yuyan be very touched when he arrives, seeing how much effort you put in"

"It should," she said, looking down at the videos and photos on her phone. The scene was already starting to feel real.

Because Chen Chen was with me, we were very efficient. We finished shooting all the locations in just an afternoon on Saturday. I originally planned to stay in a hotel so as not to disturb Chen Chen and his family.

"This time, we have to stay at my place. Shao Hui has already cooked dinner at home." Cheng Chen spoke of Shao Hui with a face full of happiness.

Shu Tinglan saw her happy expression and couldn't help but smile, feeling happy for her.

"Well then, I'll go taste his skills."

She didn't tell Cheng Chen about Shao Hui's trip to the border to save her and Yi Muyang last time. She also hadn't told Cheng Chen much about Shao Hui's line of work.

In her memory, Shao Hui was tall and sturdy, masculine and upright. When he handled cases, he was particularly serious and even a bit intimidating. So when she arrived at Cheng Chen's house and saw him wearing an apron and cooking in the kitchen, she felt a sense of incongruity.

Cheng Chen wasn't short either, but standing before him, she suddenly felt like a little bird leaning against someone. In Ting Lan's presence, she didn't shy away either. She went to the kitchen and from behind, wrapped her arms around Shao Hui's waist, poking her head out towards the stove to take a glance and ask...

What should we cook

Shao Hui turned around and hugged her, gently pushing her out of the kitchen.

“I don’t know what Tinglan likes to eat, so I just made a few simple dishes. You guys can wait a little longer, and if you’re hungry, there’s yogurt in the fridge.”de of the building. 。The square outside the building had a patch of green grass on one side. As he walked out, a melodious piano tune came to him, it was "City in the Sky," and his steps came to a hal...
