Chapter 358: Chapter 361: Half-Push Half-Acceptance_1
"Huh?" Yang Gang was taken aback montarily. After all, he had never heard Su Xiaoxi speak to him in such a tender tone, saying ’I miss you a bit’.
Gu Xiaorou rolled her eyes, "Huh your head, your wife misses you!"
Over the phone, Su Xiaoxi paused, then also rolled her eyes, "Yang Gang, do you always have
on speaker when I call you?"
"No, Xiaorou, she’s right by my side, she heard your voice because she was too close," Yang Gang quickly explained.
"I see." Su Xiaoxi’s tone returned to its usual tranquillity. After a brief mont of reflection, she chuckled, "It’s nothing, just that it’s quite boring here in San Francisco, so I thought I’d give you a call. You go ahead with your work, I’ll hang up first."
After ending the call, Su Xiaoxi picked up her glass of red wine again, took a small sip, and quietly looked up at the bright moon.
"Could Yang Gang and Xiaorou be...?"
She put down the wine glass, picked up the antique ring, and tried again to fit it onto her ring finger, but to no avail.
She couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
"What exactly am I thinking? Do I really want to be the owner of this ring so badly? What kind of feelings do I have for Yang Gang? Is it more familial or romantic? I’m a bit confused myself."
---
Huaxia, Hangcheng.
After hearing Su Xiaoxi’s call, Gu Xiaorou seed rather down, lying on the table with her mind filled with thoughts hard to decipher.
"I’ve never heard Sister Xiaoxi say ’I miss you a bit’ to Yang Gang in such a tender way before. Does Sister Xiaoxi like Yang Gang?"
Her eyes looked a bit gloomy, lost in her thoughts.
Compared to the sensitive Gu Xiaorou, Young Master Yang, who had low emotional intelligence, obviously didn’t think as much. To him, the call from Su Xiaoxi was just a bored woman killing ti.
After hanging up Su Xiaoxi’s call, he turned around and found Gu Xiaorou lying listlessly on her desk, not saying a word.
Young Master Yang, puzzled, poked Gu Xiaorou’s back with his finger, but got no response.
Huh?
At this mont, besides Gu Xiaorou and Yang Gang, there were no other students. Yang Gang daringly poked Gu Xiaorou’s back and waist again, but she still lay motionless on the table.
Finally, Young Master Yang realized that sothing was wrong.
"Hey, Xiaorou, what’s wrong?"
Gu Xiaorou still didn’t say anything.
After asking three tis, Gu Xiaorou suddenly said: "Yang Gang, I think I want a boyfriend."
"Huh?" Yang Gang was stunned for a mont, and felt a lump in his throat: "Why?"
Gu Xiaorou sat up again, she quietly stared at Yang Gang and said softly: "I’m afraid I’ll fall deeper."
Yang Gang thought for a mont and admitted: "I don’t understand."
Gu Xiaorou chuckled, she stroked Yang Gang’s head and said: "If you understood, I wouldn’t be in such pain."
Yang Gang was shocked: "Xiaorou, you wouldn’t happen to like , would you?"
Gu Xiaorou’s body jerked suddenly, with a suffocating feeling in her chest. She looked at Yang Gang but didn’t say a word.
Then, Yang Gang mumbled to himself: "But that’s not possible. When I confessed to you back then, you rejected
outright. Haha, recently my emotional intelligence has grown, and my imaginative capacity has increased."
Sigh~~
Gu Xiaorou took her hand off her chest, looked at Yang Gang, and rolled her eyes: "Good that you’re aware. As a mutual friend of you and Sister Xiaoxi, seeing the relationship between you two getting better and better, I-I’m really very happy.."
While speaking, two tears silently slid down from the corner of her eyes.
Her happiness about the breakthrough in Su Xiaoxi and Yang Gang’s relationship was genuine, but the loss and pain in her heart were also real.
"Geez, it’s so annoying. I’m just too happy. After all the experiences you and Sister Xiaoxi went through, your hearts are finally coming together. I’m genuinely happy for you. But tears are such botherso things. Even when they’re tears of joy, they can be misunderstood as tears of sadness." Pulling up a faint smile, Gu Xiaorou said.
Yang Gang reached out to wipe away the tears on Gu Xiaorou’s face, whispering gently, "Silly girl."
He fell silent for a mont, then asked, "Xiaorou, are you saying that Su Xiaoxi likes ?"
"Mmm. You guys have been together for so long that you can’t tell the difference between love and affection. Sister Xiaoxi may not have realized her own feelings before, but she must be aware of them now, right? Yang Gang, I believe it won’t be long before you’ll get the girl you want. Congratulations." Gu Xiaorou smirked through her tears but no one could see the sadness that echoed in her.
"Oh."
This was supposed to be exciting news, but to his surprise, Yang Gang didn’t feel as thrilled as he had imagined.
He still liked Su Xiaoxi, that much was certain. She was the girl he’d decided years ago that he wanted to marry.
But why did he care more about Gu Xiaorou’s tears?
The thought of Gu Xiaorou’s tears stole his joy.
Xiaorou, why were you crying?
Was it really because of happiness for
and Su Xiaoxi?
Watching Gu Xiaorou’s retreating figure, an impulse sprang up within him and he reached over the desk to pull her into his arms.
Gu Xiaorou’s body stiffened slightly, struggling, "Yang Gang, what are you doing?!"
"When you get a boyfriend, you shouldn’t let
hug you like this." Yang Gang replied.
Gu Xiaorou rolled her eyes, "Duh!"
She paused, her face slightly flushed, "Even if I don’t have a boyfriend, you can’t hug
either! You’re engaged to Sister Xiaoxi. If she finds out about this, it’ll be a huge ss. I don’t want to die with you! Let go!"
Though she said this, Gu Xiaorou didn’t struggle much and allowed Yang Gang to embrace her.
Yang Gang didn’t let go, but instead held Gu Xiaorou even tighter, as if afraid she would disappear.
He didn’t know when this woman had beco so important to him.
Ti is truly a terrifying thing.
The room was silent, Gu Xiaorou gave up her struggle and allowed Yang Gang to continue hugging her. Her eyes were lost, biting her lip as if deep in thought.
The classroom was filled with an atmosphere called ’ambiguous’.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded at the classroom door.
"What are you two doing?"
Yang Gang and Gu Xiaorou lifted their heads and found themselves in an awkward predicant as Yang Fei stood at the entrance looking at them.
Gu Xiaorou quickly wriggled out of his arms and ran over to Yang Fei, "Feifei, I’m the victim here."
Yang Gang looked on silently.
From the atmosphere just now, it was clearly mutual consent. Feifei, being so smart, definitely wouldn’t believe it.
But then, Yang Gang realized he was wrong.
Yang Fei comforted Gu Xiaorou before running over to Yang Gang, angry, "Yang Gang, you, you, no self-control! Two-timing, shaless, already engaged, but still ssing with Xiaorou. I’m going to tell my sister and grandma!"
Yang Gang looked dejected for a mont before he quickly regained his composure, "What’s the big deal? Compare this with those who visit prostitutes, this is nothing."
"You!" Yang Fei was fuming.
The girl was puffing up her chest, clearly angered.
Yang Gang hurriedly asked, "Feifei, what brings you to our classroom?"
"Oh, I called you, but the line was busy, so I ca directly." Yang Fei’s attention was diverted.
Yang Gang was taken aback, "What’s wrong? Did sothing happen?"
