Su An blinked, and unexpectedly felt that her stomach was a little empty.
Gu Jingchen cooks Western food very well. She only found out about it after living with him again during this period...
Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Jingchen's voice came from the direction of the dining table.
"An'an, it's time to eat."
Su An stood up hurriedly, took two steps, and saw the pasta on the table steaming hot and smelling sweet.
"Be careful of burning."
Gu Jingchen put the fork in her hand, finished speaking, and ruffled her hair out of habit.
This intimate gesture stunned both of them.
Gu Jingchen was startled for a moment, then reluctantly let go of his hand, a complex emotion flashing through his eyes quickly.
Su An couldn't help but remember that when she was "Xia Xiaomo", the two of them were in many places in this house...
The sentimental images flashed crazily in her mind, making her hand holding the fork tremble.
It's only been two days since we were so "intimate".
Su An's ears felt a little hot, and she finally realized how embarrassing it was to be back here as "Su An".
But... Gu Jingchen didn't mention anything, so she could only try her best to pretend that nothing had happened.
"Let's eat, An'an."
Gu Jingchen's voice came at the right time.
Su An nodded silently, rolled up a little pasta with a fork, and put it into his mouth.
At this moment, Gu Jingchen's cell phone rang.
Su An immediately raised his head, looked at him with burning eyes, picked up the phone, and put it to his ear.
Then he frowned and his face became a little serious.
"Well, I understand."
Not sure what the person on the other end of the phone said, Gu Jingchen said this and hung up the phone.
Su An asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Who is it?"
"Karasawa."
Gu Jingchen put the phone aside and explained, "I just asked Tang Ze to check what Yahe Pharmaceutical has been researching recently. The result is that Yahe Pharmaceutical has recently been researching a new type of cell technology, which is said to be able to suspend cells.
It is used to delay the development of some congenital diseases. This project has a high level of confidentiality. The person who imprisons you wants this."
"Cell delay technology..."
Su An frowned, not quite understanding.
Gu Jingchen then said, "Don't you know what I want to do? I'm thinking... we can't continue to be led by the nose. If my guess is correct, Yahe's technology is very useful to that person...
"
"Gu Jingchen, what exactly do you want to do?"
Su An interrupted Gu Jingchen's words and looked at him puzzled.
Gu Jingchen pondered for a moment, sighed, and solemnly promised her.
"An'an, believe me, if you wait a little longer, the result I want should appear within three days at the latest."
Perhaps his eyes were too firm, Su An's eyes flickered for a moment, he was silent for two seconds, and he really didn't ask any more questions.
It just brought the anxiety back to the bottom of my heart.
Now besides Gu Jingchen, she has no one else she can trust, right?
After lunch, Gu Jingchen asked Su An to take a rest.
Su An couldn't sleep at all, so she simply picked up the unfinished work and planned to divert her attention.
This went on until night.
As night fell, Gu Jingchen still cooked dinner himself.
This time Su An didn't say she wasn't hungry like she did at noon, but ate obediently.
It's just that the whole person looks a bit...mechanical.
It's like setting yourself some routines such as "eating" and "resting" in order to accomplish something.
Gu Jingchen put the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher, turned around and came out to see Su An sitting on the sofa in a daze.
There was only one dim wall lamp turned on in the living room.
The computer's white light shone on Su An's bloodless face, making her look even paler.
Gu Jingchen's chest felt numb, and he suddenly felt a dense feeling of distress.
He hurriedly stepped forward, reached out and closed the computer, and said to Su An, "An An, it's very late, go to bed early."
"good……"
Su An agreed, stood up slowly, and walked towards his bedroom.
It's just that his steps look a little frivolous, as if he has lost his soul.
Gu Jingchen followed her uneasily.
Then she didn't know what she was thinking, but she bumped into the door frame!
"An'an!"
Gu Jingchen hurriedly passed her and put his hand on the door frame.
Su An's forehead was spared and crashed directly into his palm!
She seemed to be startled, and suddenly came to her senses, only to realize what was going on.
"Sorry...I just got distracted..."
Realizing that Gu Jingchen had helped her again, Su An hurriedly explained.
Then I heard the person in front of me sigh helplessly.
The next second——
"ah!"
Su An suddenly let out a short scream, and was directly hugged by Gu Jingchen, taken directly into the room, and strode towards the window!
"Gu Jingchen! You..."
Su An nervously and subconsciously tightened the clothes on his chest, looking a little flustered.
What does Gu Jingchen want to do?
Could he be trying to...
Those ambiguous memories came to mind again, disrupting Su An's thoughts.
They don't have to do that anymore!
She is no longer Xia Xiaomo!
Su An wanted to stop her, but the words hadn't left her mouth yet——
His body suddenly went soft.
Gu Jingchen had already put her on the bed.
But instead of pressing him directly as she imagined, she pulled away and sat on the edge of the bed.
"I'm just afraid that after you come in, you'll get distracted and bump into the table or the foot of the bed."
Gu Jingchen explained his behavior just now.
With that said, he reached out and pulled the quilt aside and covered Su An carefully.
When Su An heard this, his heart suddenly softened unexpectedly.
She seems to have become accustomed to Gu Jingchen's tenderness and concern...
It was like a slow poison, eroding bit by bit the part of her heart that had long been frozen on him.
"I... am ready to sleep, you can leave."
Su An deliberately turned her back to him.
Then she felt a familiar touch touching her hair.
"Well, you can go to sleep. I will watch over you here and wait until you fall asleep before leaving."
Gu Jingchen's voice was still so gentle.
It's exactly the same as what Su An once dreamed of.
However, these are no longer dreams, but reality.
"you……"
Su An opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back and closed her eyes.
Forget it...that's it.
She is already very tired...
No matter what, she just wanted to save the child.
Even if Gu Jingchen's last request was for her to stay, she would remember the lessons she had learned and would not fall in love with him again.
