Chapter 174 The roommate of the gentle-faced senior (27)
Xia Yanran called Gu Chuan in the morning, but no one answered.
She didn't pay attention at first, thinking he was still resting. After all, she was confident in her weight in Gu Chuan's heart. He would answer her call every time and would never fail to answer it.
Then she called again an hour later, but no one answered, and her messages were not answered.
At this time, she finally became a little anxious, because she and Mr. Wendi had to catch the evening flight back to the overseas school, and they would set off to catch the flight there at four o'clock in the afternoon.
She must get the ruby necklace before four o'clock in the afternoon and give it to the female instructor when she returns this time, otherwise her project score this time will be really in danger.
She waited and waited, but when Gu Chuan couldn't get back to her, she had no choice but to come to Gu Chuan's house.
When Xia Yanran arrived, Gu Chuan was in his room catching up on various tutoring lessons he had left yesterday.
He happened to have mastered English, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost. He wondered how Bo Taoyao was doing with his English homework this past six days. Will he consolidate the knowledge points he didn't figure out last week at home today?
Just when he was lost in thought, his mother suddenly opened the door and walked in. She said happily and anxiously: "Stop doing your homework and come down quickly. Yanran is here to see you. She is waiting downstairs.
Oops, why are you still hanging around? Come down quickly. What's there to write about for a poor homework? I tell you, that little bastard Gu Yun is still downstairs. He is very attentive to others.
Your father doesn't like you to begin with, and prefers Gu Yun more. If you marry Yanran in the future, with the help of an excellent wife like Yanran, you can still gain a firm foothold in the Gu family.
If even Yanran is snatched away by Gu Yun, no matter how much you read and no matter how good your grades are, it will be of no use. Come down here and entertain Yanran!"
Gu Chuan looked at his excited mother. Every word she said was full of belittlement and distrust of him. She easily wiped out all the efforts he had made on his grades. Now he was asked to please others.
He closed his homework expressionlessly and followed his excited mother downstairs.
Xia Yanran saw him and smiled with relief.
She seemed to be complaining, or like a sister was helpless towards her brother. She glared at him, walked to him and whispered: "What's the matter with you? You left without even saying hello last night. I'll give it to you this morning."
I made several calls and sent you so many messages but you still didn’t reply to me.
I thought something was wrong with you, but I was really worried, so I ran over to see you as soon as I had time at noon."
Xia Yanran's acting skills are perfect, her eyes are full of concern, as if she really cares about him.
She was like this when he was a child. She often appeared when he was confused and helpless, comforting and enlightening him with eyes full of concern, which warmed his entire childhood and youth.
But now looking at Xia Yanran's smiling face, he always felt that this smile was not as pure as he remembered, and seemed to be mixed with something.
He apologized: "I'm sorry for making you worry. Last night, my friend was drunk by my brother. He drank too much and was allergic to alcohol. I took care of him all night. After returning home in the morning, I did my homework, so I didn't look at my phone.
.”
Xia Yanran didn't notice anything was wrong and said with a smile: "As expected of you, you have been so serious about your homework since you were a child.
But you are now in your senior year of high school. Based on your past results and Mr. Wendi’s appreciation of you last night, as long as the recommendation letter he wrote for you arrives, you will definitely be able to successfully enter my school.
Don't always live so tightly and make yourself so tired. You have worked hard for so many years and now you can relax."
Xia Yanran felt that she was really good at it. She had grown up with Gu Chuan. This stubborn boy was forced by his mother to always take first place. What he liked to hear most was that she told him to relax.
Don't live too tiredly,
But today, Gu Chuan behaved very calmly. He just nodded and said, "I still can't relax until Mr. Wendi's letter of recommendation is sent."
Xia Yanran: "..."
It was the first time that she was at a loss for words here with Gu Chuan and didn't know what to say.
Normally, shouldn't it be that Gu Chuan was very moved, and then she naturally said that she didn't get the ruby aspect last night?
How should she say the following words now?
Gu Chuan's mother, who was always paying attention to their movements, also felt it. She smiled and smoothed things over: "Hey, Yanran, look at Xiaochuan, he must have still not recovered after the quarrel with his father in the morning.
It's too stuffy in this hall. The weather is nice today and the sun is nice in the garden outside. You two should go for a walk in the garden and chat. Haven't you always had endless things to say when you got together since you were little?"
Xia Yanran thought that it was really inconvenient to carry the ruby necklace here, so she followed Gu Chuan's mother's words and took the initiative to pull Gu Chuan out: "Let's go, stop keeping such a straight face, let's go for a walk."
Gu Chuan followed Xia Yanran out, but he retracted her hand holding his wrist without leaving a trace.
He suddenly realized that he seemed a little uncomfortable with people other than Bao Taoyao touching him.
Xia Yanran stiffened for a moment, but in the end she said nothing and pretended to be casually walking with Gu Chuan in the garden.
She took the initiative to find topics and told Gu Chuan many interesting things about foreign legal professions.
However, Gu Chuan's reaction was mediocre. He only nodded occasionally, or seemed to be obviously absent-minded.
Xia Yanran said helplessly: "Achuan, I feel that your state is not right today. Is it because you were too tired from taking care of your drunk classmate last night?"
Speaking of taking care of Bo Taoyao last night, Gu Chuan didn't know what he thought of, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "Well, drunk people are very dishonest, and it is indeed tiring to take care of her."
Xia Yanran sensed something was wrong. She pretended to be curious and asked, "It seems like you have a good relationship with Classmate Bo?"
Gu Chuan lowered his head and smiled: "It's not very good. He likes to quarrel with me."
The smile on Xia Yanran's face could hardly hold on anymore. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Then...I asked you to help me ask him for that ruby necklace last night. Isn't it difficult?"
Finally let’s talk about this necklace.
Gu Chuan stopped walking, turned to look at Xia Yanran, and apologized directly: "I'm sorry, last night I asked Bo Taoyao to give up the ruby necklace when I didn't know why she wanted to take a picture of it.
Here you go,
Now I know why she bought it, so now I can no longer give this necklace to you,
I'm really sorry for the favor you gave me by introducing Mr. Wen Di. I'll return it to you next time I have a chance."
Xia Yanran was a little angry: "But I don't need you to return any other favors to me. I just need this necklace now!"
Gu Chuan was also rarely serious: "But this necklace was originally taken by Bao Taoyao for five million."
Finally, Xia Yanran wiped away her tears and left the Gu family.
Gu Chuan's mother was so angry that she cried when she saw Gu Chuan, and scolded him again.
Gu Chuan didn't say anything. He went upstairs to pack his things and returned to the school dormitory early.
He should go back to school and wait for Bo Taoyao.
After catching up on her sleep, Bo Taoyao watched the entire conversation between Gu Chuan and Xia Yanran on the surveillance camera. She shook her head and complained to the slag removal system: "You see, this bitch Gu Chuan has so many double standards.
Last night I was asked to give up the necklace as a matter of course, and today I turned around and spoke to Xia Yanran for me. In fact, he knows right and wrong in his heart, it just depends on where his heart is."
