to rest briefly, they immediately got down to work according to plan. They first went to the target company with Director Xiao and met with relevant personnel. They focused on communicating about the...By the time Gu Ruanruan finished packing, it was very late.

"Thanks for today, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Okay."

"Just wait for me."

"Okay."

Gu Ruanruan quickly took clothes and toiletries from her suitcase and went into the bathroom to shower. She was covered in sweat after moving all day, and it felt very uncomfortable.

The bathroom wasn't very soundproof, and the sound of rushing water could be heard. Meanwhile, Lu Kuo, who was outside, had to sit on the edge of the bed waiting because neither the sofa nor the chairs he had bought had arrived yet. He had been playing games on his phone, but when he heard the water noise and saw the flickering shadows on the glass door, something made him uneasy.

Suddenly, I felt out of place sitting there and began to overthink. I hurriedly got up and walked out of the room to the corridor, waiting for her outside.

After a while, Gu Ruanruan came out wearing a refreshing set of clothes. Her hair was still damp and hadn't dried. She probably thought Lu Kuo had left, so when she opened the door to peek out, her expression wasn't as calm as usual. There was some disappointment and dejection on her fair face. Then, when she saw him standing in the hallway outside the door, she suddenly smiled, openly and guilelessly, with a clean and pure smile.

In those few seconds, Lu Kuò saw her expression change clearly. He was drawn in by her clean and pure smile, finding himself staring at her a few times more than he intended.

She was very natural, and didn't hide it: "I thought you left."

Lu Kuo felt a bit awkward: "I helped you work all day, so it's only right that I eat before leaving."

She smiled and said, "Then please have some delicious food."

"We have to eat well."

The two walked side by side out of the staff dormitory and toward the outside of the school. Senzhou University was very large, and it took a while to reach the south gate of the campus. Outside the south gate was a student snack street.

"You want me to eat this" Lu Kuo was incredulous, looking at the shabby shop, the simple table, a small bowl of wontons and a pancake.

I couldn't help but say again, "Teacher Gu... are you sending beggars away"

I deliberately emphasized the three words "Mr. Gu" Teachers should be role models and keep their promises. You said there would be delicious food!

Gu Ruiruan smiled: "I've been planning this place for a long time. Don't look at this small bowl of wontons, it's very famous, and this pancake, you have to queue up even during the day."

I believed your ghost story, Lu Kuo thought to himself. He'd been fooled by this girl.

Opposite, Gu Ruanruan was holding one hand in her black hair that had fallen onto her cheek and the other hand holding a spoon. She was eating very seriously. From Lu Kuo's angle, the girl's face looked especially small. Her eyelashes were curled slightly as they drooped, her nose bridge was high and straight, very delicate. And today she wasn't wearing makeup like last time, nor a strapless dress or perfume. She looked clean and fresh overall, perhaps because she was near the university, so there was a natural scholarly air about her.

Watch her eat, steam rising from it.

“Really delicious”

She looked up at him: "I'm not lying to you."

As she spoke, she picked up a spoon from his bowl, scooped up a dumpling, and held it directly to his mouth.

“Have a taste.”

Lu Kuo was taken aback and subconsciously took a step back. Was he supposed to feed him

But looking at her clear and sincere gaze, handing him the spoon, it seemed like he would be rejecting her if he refused. It would make him seem too fussy.

And, is he even afraid of a girl He absolutely has to hold his ground and not lose.

"Are you sure it's not poisoned"

"This is poisoned, do you want to eat it"

"If it was Teacher Gu who poisoned it, I'll eat it too." He finished his sentence and lowered his head to eat the dumpling from her spoon.

The taste is actually quite good, the scallion pancake is also crispy and fragrant. However, after helping out all day, just eating this feels like a bit of a loss.

“I’m sorry, I can only treat you to this today. Next month when I get paid, I’ll definitely take you out for a good meal.” Gu Ruannu didn’t shy away from her current financial situation. Since she returned home and Gu Ruandong cut off her funding, she was truly running low after buying everything for her dormitory.

It's not about the money, it's just that in front of Lu Kuo, I don't want to pretend to be something I'm not. I'll just be myself.

Lu Kuò didn't say anything either, just said: "Then I'll wait, but this is pretty good too. Actually, I haven't eaten at a stall like this in many years. Back then, I used to often accompany that fellow Zhuo Yǔān."

"Mr. Zhuo" It's hard to believe he would eat at a street stall like this, he looks like someone who is very particular about his food.

"Well, that was a long time ago. Back then, he secretly liked Lan and would drag me along as a cover to have supper with her every day." When talking about their youth, she suddenly remembered Cheng Chen from back then.

However, for Cheng Chen, his mind wasn't filled with specific images at this moment. It was more about the longing for that period of youth, that time when he first experienced love. The excitement and flutter in his heart from that time had long since faded away.

Were they already together that long ago They still seem to be in the honeymoon phase now.

Lu Kuo thought of Zhu Yu'an and felt a bit disdainful: "It's more than just looking like they're in the honeymoon phase now, I'm afraid they'll still be in the honeymoon phase even when their hair turns white."

After saying that, I felt like I was being tortured by lovey-dovey stuff again, damn it!

Gu Ruanruan felt a surge of longing: "How envious."

This conversation is over.

After finishing their meal, Gu Ruannuan took out a small package from her bag and handed it to Lu Kuò.

“This is for you, thank you for helping me all day.”

"What is it" Lu Kuai opened it up and found a cup.

“I made it myself.” She didn’t tell Lu Kuo that it was a couple’s mug. Her one was kept in the dormitory, designed and handmade by her. The handle part of the cup, when viewed separately, was ordinary and unremarkable. But if the two cups were placed together, the handles joined to form a pair of lovers embracing each other.

She had looked up online, and the meaning behind giving a cup was everlasting love. Anyway, Lu Kuo didn't lack anything, so sentiment was most important.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Lu Kuo didn't think too much about it and happily accepted the gift.

When I sent her back to school, it was past 9 p.m. The campus was bustling at this time. There were groups of students returning to their dormitories after evening study sessions, as well as upperclassmen who didn't have evening study sessions playing basketball, making music, or on dates outside.

Lu Kuo was glad that he favored casual clothing, so walking around campus, there wasn't too much dissonance, and he didn't look old. When he reached the faculty dormitory, the surroundings finally calmed down.

"Go on up." It was late, and delivering it downstairs would be going above and beyond, he thought.

"Okay, goodbye." Gu Ruannuan walked toward the door.

Lu Kuo also turned and left, walking two steps.

"Lu Kuò!"

He turned around, a figure dashed into his arms, soft lips lightly kissing his chin, like a dragonfly skimming the water, then the figure left as quickly as it had arrived.crying, hating, fearing, and finally spoke.“Tinglan, you wait... I'll have my lawyer send you a letter!”He decided, he would no longer hesitate, nor soften his heart. Even when he saw her face instant...
