MTL - Miss Gu and Miss Qu-Chapter 77

"Scientists have found that a humid environment can easily cause stomach pain. People in Europe with a maritime climate are often prone to stomach problems..."

Street lights were on in the evening, and the sound of rain hitting the car windows covered the sound of the radio in the car. Gu Xizhi sat in the driver's seat and quietly looked at the wide asphalt road in front of the car window, without any anxiety in his eyes.

After she separated from Lili, she has been here for a whole afternoon. Last night, to be precise, the scenes of this morning reappeared in her mind again. The street lamps on the street and the surrounding towering buildings once again became Pure background.

The sound of knocking on the car window broke Gu Xizhi's thoughts, and Qu Xizhi, who was standing beside the car with an umbrella while looking sideways, made her startled, and then opened the car lock.

After the car door was opened, the sound of the rain was much clearer, but then it disappeared out of the glass window again. Gu Xizhi looked at Qu Xizhi who was holding a dessert and putting away his umbrella, and asked in surprise, "How do you know this place?"

After putting away the umbrella, Qu Xizhi looked back at her, smiled, "Smart." He lifted the dessert in his hand and shook it, "The macaron I like."

Gu Xizhi looked at the things in her hand, and was a little surprised at first, but soon his emotions became complicated.

"Like the perfect love in the movie."

"But I didn't want to accept it last night." Opening the dessert box, the tone seemed to be complaining, but it was actually a joke.

Gu Xizhi frowned, "No."

Qu Xizhi turned his head to look at her, seeing that she was not in a good mood, he smiled and picked up a colorful macaron, "Are you angry?" He brought it to her lips, "Taste it."

Putting the white fingertips in front of his eyes, he seemed to want to feed them directly into her mouth. Gu Xizhi seemed to feel uneasy because of the excessive intimacy, so he took the round object in her hand and took a small bite.

"At that time, I didn't answer because I was thinking about it, not what I said." After eating the food, he said, "It's still delicious."

It took a while for the colors in Qu Xizhi's pupils to gather again, and he smiled, "Are you afraid of kneeling?"

Gu Xizhi froze while eating, turned his head to look at her, put down his food and turned his head to look at the rain and fog outside the window.

"Believe it or not, the one at the airport three years ago was a nightmare."

"Then why are you still so determined." She tilted her head and looked out the window.

"Sometimes love is not everything." As if he had a lot to say, Gu Xizhi opened his lips but fell silent, and then said after a while, "Qu Xizhi, let's go see each other after the movie is finished, okay?" Well, although I haven't figured out how to face her, I think you should have a good talk with her."

"Okay." Qu Xizhi calculated the time, "How about going in June?"

"The schedule for June and July is full, and I want to take a whole block of time to go there, by the way, to be with her." After thinking about it, "How about going in October?"

"October is not acceptable." Qu Xizhi quickly suggested, "September."

"The September concert is not over yet." After thinking for a long time, "How about November?"

"Not even in November."

Gu Xizhi was a little frustrated, "Are there many work arrangements after October?"

Qu Xizhi stared at her, didn't answer for a long time, just watched quietly.

Gu Xizhi seemed to have finally noticed something strange, inexplicably asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Qu Xizhi said with a smile, "Although I haven't confirmed whether I will have a job after October, I think there will be some jobs in October. But I think I can spare a little time in early October."

"Then let's go in October."

Qu Xizhi lightly raised his lips, and fixed his eyes on her, "Okay."

The half-bitten macaron was finally stuffed into Gu Xizhi's mouth again. After eating, Gu Xizhi looked at Qu Xizhi sideways, "Are you free tonight? Take it for dinner."

"Don't worry." Qu Xizhi pressed her hand reaching for the car keys, "There is one more thing I want to ask."

Gu Xizhi turned to look at her, "Say."

Qu Xizhi looked at her sideways, "Would you like to be with me again?"

Gu Xizhi frowned, as if he was very puzzled, "What kind of problem is this?"

"No answer last night."

"Yes."

"At that time, I just wanted to coax her back home." After a moment of silence, "Maybe there are other concerns."

Gu Xizhi looked at her unexpectedly, as if being poked into his heart by her, but he quickly calmed down, "Admit it..." As if thinking about how to express it, "I admit that my heart softened last night, but I won't make fun of it." Looking at her seriously, "It's not a casual perfunctory."

"I have to listen to my own words." It seems to be persistently entangled.

"It's all been said."

"Are you really unwilling to say it?"

"..." Gu Xizhi seemed to have been fooled and had no choice but to think about it before he said solemnly, "Although I made a hasty decision last night, I obeyed my heart." His tone was more serious, "In fact, I have thought about it a lot since I returned to China. It can make you calm and mature, knowing that there are many problems between you, but you have to give yourself a chance so you don’t regret it. There must be a way to make you feel happy together instead of endless powerlessness and sadness. I think maybe we can find out together, Want to try it out and start over."

Qu Xizhi seemed to be reminiscing about her words, and did not speak for a while. Gu Xizhi looked at her pensive look, and said, "But do you really like it?"

Qu Xizhi's smile broke the trance, "Let's talk first."

"say what?"

"The reason why I agreed to be with you is because I still like it very much."

Gu Xizhi was stunned for a moment, and soon his cheeks were flushed with blush, "That's not true." He retracted the hand that had been held down by her all this time, "I haven't told you about Ara yet."

"say what?"

"Play stupid."

"Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

"Qu Xizhi." Gu Xizhi looked at her sideways, and the lights of cars in the distance shone over for an instant, making Gu Xizhi's eyes a little dazed, and through a glass window, the heavy rain curtain outside the car seemed to be an unclean sky tears.

Although it is a very vulgar description, it is Gu Xizhi's true mood at the moment.

It has been raining continuously for several days, as if mourning for those who died in the disaster.

Gu Xizhi looked at the soft rain under the street lamp and said quietly, "Qu Xizhi, I don't seem to like crying very much."

"I cried when I threw the necklace."

"Later, I thought it was fake." Gu Xizhi's eyes fell into memories, "I didn't cry at the airport, and I didn't cry last night, so why would I cry because of throwing the necklace?"

Qu Xizhi looked at her sideways, "What are you thinking?"

Gu Xizhi shifted his gaze to her, "I'm very stingy with tears outside of acting."

"Tears are the highest level of sadness, so seeing being provoked to cry makes me feel great."

"...what logic."

Qu Xizhi patted her on the head with a smile, "I like it very much, don't you?"

"No, I like Miss Zhong."

"Why do you like her?"

"Because she's pretty."

"Well, I like her too."

"... Qu Xizhi?"

"what?"

"What do you like about her?"

"pretty."

"..." Leaning, "Who is beautiful?"

"pretty."

Gu Xizhi seemed to give up at this point, and said seriously, "Have you ever liked her?"

Qu Xizhi looked back at her, his high nose was glowing softly under the light, "What do you think?"

"It should be that I tried to live with her, but it failed. We separated a long time ago, but everyone thought we were together." He was actually very proud, "Based on what we heard, don't deny it."

"Is that so?" His gaze stayed for a long time, "It doesn't seem to mind."

"Although the reality is not so perfect, it is not so difficult to forgive for the sake of looking back in time." Leaning, "Just say you don't like her."

The street lamps shone in through the car windows, emitting a soft light. Qu Xizhi was silent for a long time, looking at the wet road beside the street, he said slowly, "I don't like her."
