She Can Also Be Gentle

I don't know how long, maybe it's just minutes and seconds, the noisy sound refilled my ears.

Gu Ningzi came over: "Did you get off work early today?"

Watching her come from the crowd, Chi Nuan took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "The lady boss let us go for the holidays."

Gu Ningzi smiled and said, "How are you going to live?"

Chi Nuan: "...just going to buy something for Little Indus."

Gu Ningzi didn't know who Xiao Wutong was, and Chi Nuan explained: "Brother's baby, first named Xiao Wutong."

Gu Ningzi nodded: "I'll go with you."

The two walked side by side, walking, Chi Nuan reacted: "...we said yesterday that we won't come later?"

Gu Ningzi: "I..."

Gu Ningzi: "It didn't rain again today."

Chi Nuan: "..."

I don't want you to do something that makes me misunderstand again, especially today is Qixi Festival... If you didn't know that Gu Ningzi doesn't like girls, Chi Nuan could not help but wonder if she also likes herself.

Gu Ningzi's tone sounded a little puzzled: "Why are you struggling with this? We haven't seen each other for a long time, so I especially want to come and see you."

Chi Nuan nodded casually and paused the topic.

After walking the pedestrian street, there is a large shopping mall at the crossroads. The two followed the signs to find the floor selling maternity and baby products, and walked around.

Facing the dazzling array of commodities, Chi Nuan thought of the baby clothes that Chi Qingchuan packed last night, all of which were thin summer clothes. In the due date at the end of August, summer clothes won’t last for a few days, so you should change to long clothes and trousers as soon as your eyes blink. Why don’t you buy some autumn clothes for the little phoenix tree?

They walked into the hall of a baby clothing brand. The new autumn clothes are already on the market. Fortunately, Chi Nuan paid a salary today, so I don’t feel distressed to buy it for Little Indus.

Facing all kinds of cute clothes, Chi Nuan was a little bit picky, and couldn't decide which ones to buy for a long time. Gu Ningzi reminded her: "Which one would your sister-in-law like?"

…Yes! Little Wutong is so small, of course she doesn't have any problems with what to wear. As long as Yue Yun likes it, she will naturally wear it for Little Wutong from time to time.

After choosing the clothes, I watched the shelves with soft hats and socks. I couldn't help but bought a few more.

After checking out, they walked out of the mall together. There are many children selling flowers outside. Chi Nuan doesn’t know how she and Gu Ningzi are being spotted. The little boy stops Gu Ningzi: "Sister, it’s Qixi Festival, buy sticks for the pretty lady next to you. Spend it."

Chi Nuan: "..."

Gu Ningzi: "..."

The little boy grinned: "Buy one for only 20 yuan. Today is Valentine's Day on Chinese Valentine's Day."

Chi Nuan turned his head to look at Gu Ningzi's reaction, who knew that Gu Ningzi was also watching.

Little boy: "Sister, buy one! The young lady by your side is so beautiful, and today is Valentine's Day again. Look at her empty-handed, how disappointed and regretful she will be when she gets home? I believe if she receives your flowers , I will be very happy!"

Chi Nuan: "..."

Gu Ningzi asked him: "Why is your mouth so sweet?"

The little boy quickly picked a rose and handed it to Gu Ningzi, blinking his eyes and said, "Because the sweet magnetic field of so many couples has affected it today."

Gu Ningzi paid the money, and the little boy laughed and went to find the next target.

Chi Nuan's face was hot, and his eyes were full of stars, very bright.

"Happy Valentine's Day." Gu Ningzi smiled and gave her roses.

Chi Nuan caught it, both excited and shy: "Thank you, and Happy Valentine's Day to you."

The two went to the intersection and waited for the red light. Chi Nuan was looking at the rose all the way, unable to hide her smile, so she could only keep her head down to cover herself.

The green light turned on, and Gu Ningzi took Chi Nuan's hand and walked across the zebra crossing.

On the hot summer night, their hands have not separated from the moment they held them. Chi Nuan's heart hits like a deer, being given flowers by the person she likes, and holding hands with the person she likes, she couldn't even think of this Qixi Festival.

Just indulge yourself for a while, throw away those sad and tortured thoughts, and indulge in this moment.

Every step under her feet is precious. Chi Nuan only hopes that the road will be a little longer and longer, but the open-air parking lot has finally arrived.

Gu Ningzi let go of her hand first, and Chi Nuan subconsciously took it, and made a lot of time.

Gu Ningzi opened the car door for Chi Nuan, her expression as usual: "I will take you home."

Well, it's time to recognize the reality, the only person with distracting thoughts from beginning to end is only me.

Roses are being peddled, and it's normal for girls to go shopping holding hands. Gu Ningzi said that she came because she hadn't seen each other for a long time—because the two had a good relationship in the class.

Chi Nuan sighed inaudibly and got into the car.

The car drove forward quietly, ten minutes passed quickly, and Gu Ningzi drove the car into the community.

The two sat in the car, with the soft light of the top light pouring down, Chi Nuan turned his head to look at Gu Ningzi: "Gu Ningzi."

Gu Ningzi: "Huh?"

Chi Nuan: "I'm glad you came today, it's just—"

Gu Ningzi heard the beginning and guessed the end: "Are you going to mention it again, tell me not to come here again?"

"..." Chi Nuan replied, "School is about to start, and I can see each other every day after that, right? ...You run back and forth like this, I'm really sorry."

Gu Ningzi looked at Chi Nuan: "This holiday, you are very busy, I know... But I always feel that between us..."

Gu Ningzi was half talking and turned to the window.

The car was so quiet that you could hear each other's breathing.

Did Gu Ningzi feel her deliberate alienation? …How can you not feel it? The frequency of replying messages is getting lower and lower, and the reply content is getting more and more boring. The intimacy atmosphere, the experience of sneaking away without knowing it, has almost completely disappeared.

Just like when she came back from Xiting Island, she immediately caught Gu Ning's change of attitude, and at this time, Gu Ningzi would also be aware of her changes.

Chi Nuan: "Gu Ningzi..."

Gu Ningzi glanced at her: "Okay, you say that, I know."

The heart kept tightening, Chi Nuan understood that he was pushing Gu Ningzi away, but other than that, what could he do? Indulging in blindly, she was afraid that the two of them would not even be ordinary classmates in the end.

Keeping a smile, Chi Nuan picked up the shopping bag and got out of the car with the rose: "Gu Ningzi, go back and be careful."

Gu Ningzi nodded.

After warming up the car, the eye sockets became hot. She wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes and hurriedly walked to the building where she lived.

A few steps later, Gu Ningzi chased down from the car: "Chi Nuan."

Chi Nuan stopped, blinked and looked up, controlling the sorrowful tears.

Gu Ningzi was standing by the car. The distance between the two of them was only two or three meters. She asked, "Chi Nuan, is it because I did something wrong or bad? Far?"

Chi Nuan turned her back and shook her head with a guilty conscience.

Gu Ningzi: "Chi Nuan..."

The cold and proud Gu Ningzi called Chi Nuan's name in a begging tone. Chi Nuan's heart seemed to be entangled with silk threads, and she was in pain. She didn't know how to face her.

"Chi Nuan", Gu Ningzi couldn't help but walked half a step forward, biting her lip several times: "...I, can I ask you for a reason to see you at any time?"

Chi Nuan's heart stopped for a moment, and she slowly turned around.

There was obvious tension in Gu Ningzi's expression: "As a classmate, I agree with what you said'see you again at school'...I know that even good friends are rarely so clingy."

The next words seem to be difficult to say. She adjusted for a few seconds, and finally confided in the night to reveal the deepest request: "...so can you give me an identity that is one step closer to these two?"

Chi Nuan stared at Gu Ningzi intently,...this is impossible, how is this possible? What is Gu Ningzi talking about? Does she know what she is talking about! ?

—It must have been wrong, um, it must be so.

"For example," Gu Ningzi walked to Chi Nuan, two or three meters away, in the blink of an eye, Gu Ningzi's throat moved slightly, white teeth and red lips, and her words clearly: "...girlfriend."

girlfriend? girlfriend!

When these three words are taken apart, there is nothing special to look at individually, but when they are combined, they are said by Gu Ningzi, but they have a magical magical power that destroys the dry and decayed, which set off stormy waves in Chi Nuan's heart.

Chi Nuan covered her mouth, a huge surprise that made her dizzy and almost unable to stand. After a long time, she struggled to get five points of composure from the feeling of being top-heavy. She raised her head and asked Gu Ningzi, "Are you serious? No kidding?"

Gu Ningzi said, "Really."

Chi Nuan still couldn't believe it: "You don't like girls?"

Gu Ningzi said, "But I like you."

...But I like you.

Chi Nuan shook his head and choked up: "Do you really like me? I mean that kind of like? Not a classmate or a friend?"

Gu Ningzi’s eye circles also turned red: "I have been thinking about you throughout the holiday, even in my dreams. I want to see you, but I dare not see you. You don’t know how long I spent thinking about what to wear. I come to see you, what I want to say to you, I don’t know how many times I have practiced... Chi Nuan, I’m sure there is no more, I like you."

After being depressed for so long, once the haze was wiped away, happiness immediately exploded in layers. It turned out that the person she liked, she also liked herself! She would have such anxious thoughts too!

Unable to control it at all, Chi Nuan covered her mouth again. The old tears hadn't dried up yet, and new tears poured out again. With tears flashing in her eyes, she couldn't help but confirm to Gu Ningzi again: "After tonight, will you still like me tomorrow? ... the day after tomorrow? What about the future? Will you like it?"

Gu Ningzi lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, trying to smile at Chi Nuan, but her voice trembled: "Yes, it will! Chi Nuan, let's be together!"

Chi Nuan kept nodding, speechless.

Gu Ningzi pulled Chi Nuan and walked back to the car again, and the rear compartment slowly opened in front of Chi Nuan's eyes.

Chi Nuan's tears fell more fiercely, and the trunk was full of roses!

"Girlfriend, Happy Valentine's Day."

Chi Nuan covered her eyes with her arms, crying so much that she couldn't control herself at all.

Gu Ningzi, you are here to confess today, right?

…

That night, Chi Nuan brought 11 roses home. Chi Qingchuan just came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and the two had a face-to-face encounter.

Chi Qingchuan: "...Why is it so late today?"

Chi Nuan handed him the shopping bag with a smile: "Brother, this is for Xiao Wutong."

Chi Qingchuan took it over and took a look, but he was pampered and helpless: "You..."

Chi Nuan: "Wages are paid today."

Chi Qingchuan pointed to the rose again: "What about this one?"

Chi Nuan: "Today, Qixi Festival, I picked a few of them back as the store sent customers too much."

Chi Qingchuan was fooled into the past: "Oh."

Chi Nuan was looking for a beautiful vase. When Gu Ningzi called, she was inserting roses one by one.

Chi Nuan kept paying attention to the time. Knowing that Gu Ningzi was still on the road at the moment, she lowered her voice and said softly, "You can concentrate on driving, and you will contact me when you get home."

Gu Ningzi didn't say good or bad, she just chuckled, laughter streaming into Chi Nuan's ears, like a butterfly flapping its wings in her heart, numb and itchy.
