s anxious voice, like a bolt from the blue, shattered the evening's fleeting romance. Reality felt like a sharp blade, slicing her piece by painful piece, leaving her in unbearable agony.She sprinted...They walked side by side toward her old house. Lu Kuo tentatively reached for her hand, and she willingly let him hold it without a word. The old house was a small Western-style building with no elevator, but luckily it was only three floors, so the climb wasn't tiring.

Ruannuan opened the door and walked in, forgetting that no one had lived here for a long time. There was no electricity or heating, and the room was dark and bitterly cold. She turned around to say, next time she would only come during the day.

< As I turned around, I almost bumped into Lu Kuo's arms. He was a head taller than me and said something out of the blue. >

“You said before that you wanted to pursue me.”

a little arrogant, even with a hint of slight grievance.

"So, you're not going to chase after him"

Before Ruan Ruan could answer, he quickly added, "It's okay, then let me chase you."

The room fell silent, and Gu Ruannuan no longer felt the cold or darkness. She could even see Lu Kuò's shining eyes.

She lowered her head and whispered, "You don't have to force yourself to love me. I said you don't have to take responsibility for me."

Lu Ku suddenly laughed: "Who said I love you I just said I'd pursue you."

Just when Ruanruan thought he was about to be unmannerly again, he suddenly said seriously.

“Ruan Ruan, I need to be honest with you. Right now, I have feelings for you, but they’re just good feelings. I want to give us a chance to see if we can build something more serious, a relationship that could lead to marriage. If, and this is a big if, you’re willing to give me that chance, I’ll put in the effort to fall in love with you.”

There is no one more honest than him.

But what about liking, having a crush on someone, and love What exactly is the difference between these feelings Do they develop gradually in a step-by-step manner, or are they all just mixed together

Actually, Ruirui

She didn't know if it was liking or love, she just knew she wanted to be with Lu Kuo, so she nodded.

“Okay, I agree.”

She may seem quiet on the outside, but she is decisive and knows what she wants. She has clear goals and if she wants to be with Lu Kuo, she'll openly accept his pursuit.

So when going downstairs, she proactively took Lu Kuò's hand and walked in the direction of his home. It was already very late, and outside it was a few degrees below freezing in winter. After walking for a while, both their hands exposed to the cold became numb. Lu Kuò then held her hand and put both their hands together into the pocket of his coat to keep warm.

Back home, he still hadn't let go of her hand. He led her directly to his room. Everything felt natural and effortless, both peaceful and calm. The heating in his room was excellent; as soon as they entered, the warmth enveloped them.

The Lu family didn't have the custom of staying up for New Year's Eve, nor did they have the habit of gathering together to watch the Spring Festival Gala. So at this moment, the entire courtyard house was unusually quiet, so quiet that it affected Lu Kuo's performance, and Ruan Ruan didn't dare to make a sound.

They overthought it. No one cares what they're doing.

The old man went to bed early.

Lu Yaoyao was staring at her phone, eagerly awaiting a message from Gu Ruandong. She couldn't care less about anyone else.

New Year's Eve is coming soon, and she doesn't believe he will really keep his cool and not send her a message. To get his attention, she has been posting on her Moments all day, sharing pictures of the scenery at home with a melodramatic caption; then a picture of the New Year's Eve dinner with her selfie; and just now, she posted another piece of "sad text": When no one gives you lucky money anymore, it means you've grown up.

I can't be that carefree little girl anymore.

It received countless likes, but Gu Ruandong's account remained eerily quiet.

By 11:30, she was starting to get impatient. She silently counted down from 10 in her head; if he didn't reach out proactively by then, she would send him a message herself.

As she silently counted down to one in her mind, a belated sense of connection sparked. His profile picture on WeChat finally moved, and she eagerly tapped it open.

This is a WeChat transfer of 8888 yuan.

She sent a bizarre emoji and asked in a composed voice, "Sent wrong"

Gu Ruandong replied very briefly: "For our Yaoyao's lucky money."

Based on her recent social media post, does it mean she wants to stay a carefree little girl forever

Lu Yaoyao imagined many things in her head and happily rolled on the bed. Immediately, she replied fawningly: "Thank you, brother. Happy New Year."

He treated her like a little girl, so she deliberately called him "brother."

Gu Ruan Dong: You're welcome, happy new year!

She's a little bit on the abstinent side, and every time we talk on WeChat, she's super serious and won't say an extra suggestive word. But Lu Yaoyao is a little excited tonight. He ignored her for two days before texting back, and she's not planning to let him off easy.

"Did your brother eat the New Year's Eve dinner" she texted while lying in bed.

"I ate," he answered shortly.

"Oh, what are you eating"

"Package."

"Is the New Year's Eve dinner only available as a set meal"

"Busy."

Q&A, Lu Yaoyao was a little choked. Couldn't she say a few more words She had already hugged and kissed him. When would she stop being so cold

She

"Brother, you worked so hard!"

When dealing with Gu Ruandong, she found that acting cute and being a little coquettish was still the most effective.

After a long while, Gu Ruandong finally replied, "Calling me brother got addictive, huh"

She could imagine him typing these words, his head bowed, a smirk playing on his lips that he was trying to hide.

was exactly as Lu Yaoyao had imagined.

At the Baoli Club.

Mr. Wang pointed at Gu Ruandong who was sitting on the sofa, texting as if he were oblivious to everything around him, and asked Yu Yu.

“What are you doing, Shao Gu You've been looking at your phone all night.”

Yu Yu followed Wang Zong's gaze and said, "Why don't you ask him, Wang Zong"

Wang said with a smile, putting his arm around the woman sitting next to him, "Sending messages to which little girl"

Wang Zong and Gu Ruandong had worked together for so long, he could tell at a glance whether he was talking about work or private matters on the phone.

Although Gu Ruandong still seemed aloof and composed, with a gentle smile playing on his lips, it was a rare sight.

Today is New Year's Eve, the eve of Chinese New Year. Normally, people would go home to celebrate the festival, but the buyers from Macau happened to be free today and came to mainland China, so we scheduled a contract signing for today.

Gu Ruantong and he had been busy from morning till now, finally finishing all the paperwork that needed to be reviewed, signed, and transferred. After a day of hard work, they settled for a business meal package for their New Year's Eve dinner.

Just now, the buyer had just left, so everyone could finally relax a little.

Mr. Wang had a little drink and was going to go to the hotel with his female companion to relax for a bit. He'd been busy outside all day and wasn't really in the mood for celebrating the New Year anymore.

The concept of Chinese New Year.

And to Gu Ruandong, he also reserved the best hotel and service, but then Yu Yu beside him said:

"Mr. Wang, you go yourself. Young Master Gu is a vegetarian now, cultivating his body and mind."
