She Can Also Be Gentle

Every day is so busy and fulfilling, but Chi Nuan still feels that he is living in a muddle-headed manner.

The contact with Gu Ningzi was not interrupted because of this, and the ardent pain came to the real body. I want to make myself not like Gu Ningzi so much, but I can't help but repeatedly recall the moments of getting along between the two.

Her sleep quality has become very poor, she can't sleep well at night, her workload during the day will not be reduced, and she loses weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chi Qingchuan saw it in his eyes, very reluctant, and euphemistically suggested that she end part-time work early. After all, there is still more than half a month away from school, and it's in the third year of high school. Why don't you just review your homework at home?

Chi Nuan also felt powerless, but did not dare to let herself be free.

Afraid of staying idle, I will miss Gu Ningzi endlessly.

In mid-August, Zhou Damao's birthday arrived. Chi Nuan received his message, with the time and place of the party written on it, and finally invited "everyone" to attend.

It is estimated that it is still a group message.

Chi Nuan called Zhou Damao to ask for leave.

On Zhou Damao's birthday, it was close to 11 o'clock in the evening. Chi Nuan was working on his English homework and received a call from Xu Dan.

"It's so fun, it's so lively."

Xu Dan's happy voice is very infectious, Chi Nuan also smiled: "Really?"

"Even Gu Ningzi is here, Zhou Damao said, the monitor is the most difficult to make appointments in the whole class."

"..." Hearing the name from Xu Dan unsuspectingly, Chi Nuan was in a daze for a while.

Gu Ningzi returned to Yuncheng?

I returned, but didn't tell myself.

Indeed, Gu Ningzi did not have the obligation to inform everything.

Feeling uncomfortable turning over the river to Haiti, Chi Nuan pressed her eyelids with her palms, and after a long time, she choked for a long time.

The next day, Chi Nuan still went to work in the bakery. She was busy in the back kitchen all morning. When she came out to sort out the shelves at noon, the lady boss asked her: "Xiao Chi, why are your eyes so swollen, do you want to apply ice cubes?"

Chi Nuan said it was okay, but after all she put the ice pack that the proprietress put on her eyelids.

The weather in the last few days has been very hot during the day and showers in the evening. After dinner, heavy rain began again outside, and the rain gradually decreased when the hour hand pointed to seven.

"Xiao Chi, have you talked about friends? Tomorrow Qixi." Mu sister at the cash register is also a part-timer. She is studying at university in S City. She has just confirmed her relationship with her boyfriend before the holiday and is temporarily away.

Chi Nuan said, "Not yet."

Sister Mu: "I don't know what surprise my boyfriend is going to give me. I asked him if he has a gift. He said, "Guess," how can I guess it?"

Some customers came to check out with a tray, and Chi Nuan began to skillfully pack the bread.

The customer paid and went out with the bag. Sister Mu said: "Xiao Chi, let me tell you that if your boyfriend is good or not, it depends on whether he expresses on various holidays and anniversaries—even though he expresses it, it can’t prove that the other party just I’ll treat you wholeheartedly, but I don’t take it seriously during love, either I don’t care about you, or I’m very low in EQ, or I’m not stingy, no matter what, I’m not allowed to do it, why don’t you think we want to challenge hard? Mode?"

Chi Nuan smiled, and subconsciously took out the phone from his pocket and pressed it on. There was no message prompt on the screen.

Sister Mu came over and hit Chi Warm's waist with her arm under the counter: "Look, isn't this person so cool?"

Chi Nuan looked up from the phone.

The new customer stood outside the store with an umbrella, wearing a light black linen shirt, with silver chain glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his skin was very white.

She shook the rain on the umbrella slowly, put the umbrella in the rain bucket by the door, and walked in.

Chi Nuan rubbed his eyes, and his heartbeat became uncontrollable, faster and faster.

Gu Ningzi.

Standing in front of the counter, Gu Ningzi moved her lips. She laughed silently. Then she looked down at the menu on the counter, and when she saw fruit teas sold in the store, she said, "Lemon tea."

Sister Mu asked her: "Are you drinking here or taking it out?"

Gu Ningzi said, "Drink here."

Sister Mu ordered the order, handed the small ticket to Gu Ningzi, and Chi Nuan took it halfway: "Sister Mu, count me... She is my classmate."

Gu Ningzi took a seat first, and Chi Nuan meticulously made a cup of lemon tea for her and sent it to the table where she was sitting.

Gu Ningzi stood up and took it in her hand, feeling that this experience was a bit novel and interesting: "Thank you."

Chi Nuan: "No thanks."

Gu Ningzi sat down again, Chi Nuan put herself in the position of an ordinary classmate, and asked if we would not meet again for a long time, anyone would bring up a greeting topic: "When will you return to Yuncheng?"

Gu Ningzi said: "Last night."

Chi Nuan was taken aback: "Then you went to Zhou Damao's party right after you came back?"

Gu Ningzi looked at her: "I thought you would go too."

Chi Nuan: "...I want to work."

"Yeah." Gu Ningzi nodded and raised her wrist to check the time: "You won't get off work until nine o'clock?"

"At half past eight." The weather has been bad recently and the shipment volume has been small. The proprietress said that she wouldn't have to wait in the store, so it's better to close half an hour earlier.

Gu Ningzi: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Chi Nuan glanced at her quickly: "Are you busy or..."

A small dimple appeared on Gu Ningzi's white porcelain cheeks, with a smile in her eyes. She said, "I see you, and I'll take you home."

Driving over in heavy rain and waiting for nearly an hour just to see her and then take her home?

…why?

After half past seven, the proprietress put up a buy one get one free brand for a limited time for fresh bread outside the store. One after another, another wave of purchasing peaks was ushered in.

Chi Nuan was busy packing bread, Sister Mu took the time to get to her ear: "Your classmate wouldn't consider becoming a star or something?"

Chi Nuan followed the sound and looked.

Gu Ningzi didn't have the slightest expression, just sitting and flipping through the magazines, she was quietly like a moonlight in the shop where people came and went, but everyone's eyes would be attracted by her involuntarily.

Chi Nuan stretched her brows and smiled from the bottom of her heart. Later, realizing that her emotions were too exposed, she bit her lower lip to converge.

Gu Ningzi waited until the bakery closed. Chi Nuan changed into work clothes and went out with her.

It doesn't rain anymore outside.

The small puddle on the ground was glowing under the street lamp, and Chi Nuan followed Gu Ningzi to her parking place.

"Tired?" Gu Ningzi asked Chi Nuan.

Chi Nuan: "Fortunately, not tired."

When the two got into the car, the car lights turned on dizzy yellow. In the small, isolated space, Chi Nuan suddenly couldn't react, and stared at Gu Ningzi in a daze.

I don't want to like her, but I can't lie to myself, I still like it. Her arrival tonight, effortlessly, disintegrated the defenses that had been painstakingly piled up during this period of time.

...Don't know what to do.

Chi Nuan was startled from getting into the car, and Gu Ningzi leaned forward to help her fasten her seat belt. In the interlaced, the two eyes face each other.

Her nose touched her skin, and the familiar scent of Gu Ningzi pulled Chi Nuan back to reality, and Chi Nuan pressed her back to the back of the chair: "...Thank you."

Gu Ningzi's eyebrows were too soft: "You have dark circles, your chin is sharp, and you are much thinner."

"..." Chi Nuan was silent.

Gu Ningzi asked her, "How long will I have to do part-time?"

Chi Nuan said, "This week will be over after you finish it."

Gu Ningzi nodded, started the car, and took her home.

Usually, the bus takes half an hour, but Gu Ningzi only took more than ten minutes. He sent Chi Nuan to the community and gave her a bag of sweets before saying goodbye to her.

She still remembered what she said before.

Chi Nuan watched the car's taillights, drifting away in the night. Gu Ningzi really just came to see her before sending her home.

It wasn't until the taillights completely disappeared from view that Chi Nuan turned upstairs.

Chi Qingchuan folds the baby's laundry and blankets in the living room. Chi Nuan collected the candy, washed his hands, and went to help.

The clothes are so small, they are all pink and tender, very cute.

Chi Nuan cheered up and said, "I don't know if Xiao Wutong will be born before September, otherwise it will be a long time before going to school."

Little Wutong is the name that Chi Qingchuan gave to her unborn baby. Because it fits the metaphor of the season in the names of Chi Qingchuan and Chi Nuan, Yue Yun did not make any comments.

Chi Qingchuan smiled and said, "You aunt, the baby hasn't been born yet, so I'm worrying about his studies."

Chi Qingchuan looked in the direction of the kitchen: "Simmered the white fungus soup, it should be ready, you and Yunyun will both go have a bowl."

Chi Nuan walked to the kitchen, filled three bowls of white fungus soup on the table, and Yue Yun was also coaxed out of the room by Chi Qingchuan.

The fetus is a full month, and pregnant women are already working harder, but Yue Yun has recently started to have morning sickness again, and she is even more irritable when she sees her distorted figure and uncomfortable face in the mirror.

Chi's brothers and sisters let her everything, and Chi Qingchuan changed his way and wanted her to eat more.

After Yue Yun finished drinking the white fungus soup, she didn't feel nauseated, and brushed her teeth and went to the room to rest.

Chi Nuan glanced at the wall clock on the wall and took the initiative to wash the pots and dishes. After Chi Qingchuan finished washing, she went to take a bath.

Wiping her hair out, she couldn't help but glanced at the time again.

Gu Ningzi's message was sent near 11 o'clock, telling Chi Nuan that she was home.

Chi Nuan lay down on the bed comfortably and replied: "I am too far here, Gu Ningzi, don't do this again in the future."

After a few minutes, Gu Ningzi replied, "Don't you want to see me?"

Want to see you, I have missed you throughout the holiday. Chi Nuan hugged her pillow: "I'm worried about you. It rained heavily today."

Gu Ningzi: "I got it [OK]"

Chi Nuan got up and turned off the light, peeled the chocolate candy into his mouth. In the dark room, she watched the light on the screen dimmed.

The next day, Tanabata.

Since Chi Nuan left the kitchen and went to the front desk to help, Sister Mu has been complaining to her boyfriend: "He has booked all the tickets, and he was going to see me today, but it rained over there and no refunds came again! He said he ordered flowers on the Internet to send them over. Whoever wants his flowers is really maddening me!"

Chi Nuan thought of her remarks yesterday: "...Do you want to break up with him?"

Sister Mu categorically said: "I'll give him another chance. I see how many flowers he gave me!"

Chi Nuan: "..."

In order to meet the occasion, the boss paid her salary in advance, and also specially sealed the red envelopes to everyone. Chi Nuan thanked him sweetly, and planned to go to the mall after work to buy something for the young phoenix tree who was about to be born.

In the evening, Sister Mu's roses were delivered, 11, and the flower shop said it meant a lifetime.

Sister Mu "haha" laughed twice, and then Chi Nuan saw with his own eyes the 11 customers who paid next, and each of them received a free red rose.

Chi Nuan: "..."

Sister Mu: "It's not that I am vain. On the first Valentine's Day, he was so perfunctory, and I can guess everything on my toes in the future! The high-speed rail is only half an hour away, and it’s dangerous if it’s not driving by yourself. What if it rains? Now? This rose is even more funny. With just 11 roses, you don’t take me too seriously!"

Sister Mu wiped the corners of her eyes aggrievedly: "He likes playing basketball, so I prepared him a pair of sneakers that he wanted to buy for a long time, but what about him? What did he do to me?"

Chi Nuan comforted her: "Sister Mu, courtesy is light and affectionate..."

Sister Mu: "He just doesn't value me."

Chi Nuan: "..."

Chi Nuan couldn't comfort her, working silently.

The weather began to be gloomy in the evening, but fortunately there was no rain. Because of the plot person, the lady boss said it was closed before 8 o'clock and enlarged the family for the holidays.

The clerk cheered and sent away the last customer. After everyone worked together to clean up, they got off work one after another.

Chi Nuan picked up the small bag, opened the door and walked out.

The bakery is open in a bustling pedestrian street, and every time you leave the shop, you are always in pairs. Not a few steps away, the phone rang.

It's Gu Ningzi.

Chi Nuan hesitated and answered.

"Where are you?" Gu Ningzi asked over there, her breath a little confused.

"...Off work." Chi Nuan said.

"Where?"

"Just out of the shop. What's the matter?" Chi Nuan said, turning around on the spot if he felt it.

The building in the distance cast an radiant light show, and the streets were full of pedestrians, and their eyes were filled with happy smiling faces.

All this is silenced and faded.

—Gu Ningzi moved the phone away from her ear, her eyes passed through the crowd, precisely falling on Chi Nuan.
