Chapter 7, I want to eat at a food stall
After much difficulty, Lin Chuxia finally stopped coughing. After taking a deep breath and wiping her tears, she was about to complain about Gu Jiuyou, who was gloating over her misfortune, when she suddenly caught sight of An Jiemo and Bai Shijiu.
Unable to restrain herself, Lin Chuxia immediately sat up straight with her eyes wide open after yawning
Lin Chuxia was about to admit it, but the coercive gaze from Gu Jiuyou beside her suddenly swept over, so she immediately instinctively changed her words, "No, that's not it. Actually, I wanted to eat it later too, so... Oh, since we’ve met, you and Nineteen should sit down and eat together. We just arrived as well"
Oh. Lin Chuxia obediently lowered her head and continued to strive.
cruel
Before Lin Chuxia could react, the door was pulled open
Ke Lin had not noticed anything in early summer, she just cautiously said: "I am here to submit the script, originally..." She almost blurted out a complaint about Gu Jiu You, but fortunately, she quickly remembered Gu Jiu You's presence and hurriedly changed her words, saying, "I am currently revising the script, do you have any other matters?"
05
Due to nervousness, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her movements became increasingly slow. It took Lin Chuxia a full minute to finally create a space that was barely passable.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Chuxia revealed a broad smile, nodding and saying, "I will improve."
This is absolutely necessary! Lin Chuxia, taking advantage of the broken phone, appeared quite justified, as if the phone had been deliberately dropped by Gu Jiuyou.
Lin Chuxia had just left the seat of the sofa, only to heavily drop back onto it again
This script is much better than the last one. After a long silence, Gu Jiuyou's voice broke through, "You have made improvements in the areas I pointed out last time, but there are still some very obvious issues. The climax of the story should be described in detail, rather than being glossed over as you have done."
The familiar scene calmed her restless heart, and just as she was reflecting on how familiar the scenery before her was, a voice came from behind her—Gu Jiu You.
Lin Chuxia wiped the tears from her face, and after regaining her composure, she looked at Gu Jiuyou again, suddenly feeling awkward
Gu Jiu You remained silent, secretly cursing her foolishness, yet outwardly appeared unfazed
She slightly raised her head, intending to feign a nonchalant smile, but her lips awkwardly froze at the moment they began to lift. In front of her, Gu Jiu You was looking down at her with a weary yet annoyed expression. Lin Chuxia immediately felt guilty—her earlier voice must have just "happened" to wake Gu Jiu You from his slumber.
"Hehe, teacher, good afternoon! This is the script I have written, I just wanted to show it to you." Picking up the script that had fallen on the ground, Lin Chuxia took a deep breath, raised the corners of her mouth, and in this helpless situation, she could only choose to play dumb. Immediately, she quickly ran to the coffee table, put down the script in her hand, and turned to slip away, "Teacher, you don't need to rush, you can go back to your nap, and when you're re-energized, you can take your time to read it. Hehe, I won't disturb you..."
"Let's go eat at the food stall." Gu Jiu You thought that Lin Chu Xia hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated it.
Lin Chuxia was taken aback, still unable to comprehend the situation. She blinked her eyes and looked at Gu Jiuyou with some confusion, asking, "Teacher, what are you talking about?"
But Bai Shijiu said, "It's nothing."
At the first moment, she thought of calling for help, so she hurriedly took out her phone, but it was out of battery. As if unable to believe that such a thing could happen to her, Lin Chuxia desperately pounded on her phone, even taking the battery out and putting it back in repeatedly, over and over again, several times in succession. However, it was all in vain; the phone did not make a sound at all.

However, it was all in vain; the phone did not make a sound at all
Bai Shijiu detected the urgency in Lin Chuxia's voice, and in that instant, he felt a twinge of reluctance
Uh... although it is truly frustrating, but...
In a moment of reflection, Lin Chuxia suddenly recalled that when he called her cruel, his expression was not merely one of anger, but also... there was another emotion she could not quite articulate, something akin to... sadness
Before there was a chance to explain anything, Lin Chuxia's phone miraculously rang at that moment, displaying a black screen.
As Gu Jiu You had just finished speaking, Lin Chuxia accidentally choked on a lamb skewer that had just entered her mouth. A wave of spicy and numbing sensation surged into her throat, causing her to tear up and cough violently. She grabbed a cup of water and began to gulp it down.
01
However, Gu Jiu You, who had already been explicitly named, remained even more composed than Lin Chuxia. He picked up the green tea he had just ordered and took a gentle sip, immediately furrowing his brow as if he found the taste of the green tea here to be quite inauthentic. He then set the green tea down again. He had no intention of speaking at all, so even after putting down the green tea, he did not glance at An Jiemo.
Bai Shijiu remained silent, and Lin Chuxia became anxious. She had never seen Bai Shijiu behave so unusually, so she cautiously reached out and poked her in the back, asking, "Shijiu, what exactly happened? Please tell me, okay?"
Cute and adorable
Due to insomnia the previous night, I only fell into a drowsy sleep after 8 o'clock in the morning. My sleep quality was already mediocre, and I was just awakened by Lin Chuxia. Having not rested enough and with something having happened, my stomach felt warm, and Gu Jiuyou's complexion was still not very good. Lin Chuxia glanced at him and immediately sat up straight, feeling tense.
Listening to the sound of Lin Chuxia pacing back and forth, Bai Shijiu pressed his lips together, directly pulled the blanket over his head.
Originally, Lin Chuxia had been troubled by the fact that he had rejected his own plans in order to go eat at a street food stall with An Jiemo. He did not want to get angry over it, nor did he wish to make a big deal out of it and appear petty. However, upon hearing An Jiemo's invitation once again and seeing the sparkle in Lin Chuxia's eyes, he inexplicably wanted to know what exactly was so appealing about the street food stall
You are a little chrysanthemum that drives me crazy
However, now ... ...
03
She only wants to escape, to flee from the lonely darkness, to a place where there are people
"That's not possible." Thus, after glancing at the script, Lin Chuxia, whose eyes were originally sparkling, had to retract her enthusiasm for the street food stall, sighing as she declined, "After I finish this script, I still have to go back and write the next episode's script. Really, I've been so busy lately. You understand, I can't let something like last time happen again, and I'm still a newcomer. If something like that happens again, it would not only disappoint Teacher Gu's expectations but also cause the crew to face significant issues"
Clearly, Lin Chuxia did not notice the unusual behavior of Bai Shijiu; she simply looked at Bai Shijiu with anticipation, puzzled by why her expression was so cold
Lin Chuxia took a long time before finally submitting the revised script to Gu Jiuyou again
Hearing Gu Jiuyou's voice, Lin Chuxia suddenly turned around, and tears streamed down her face.
Gu Jiu You directly took the script from the coffee table, sat down beside her, and began to read in silence.
Indeed. My head hurts. Bai Shijiu casually made up an excuse, "Perhaps I played games for too long."
Lin Chuxia and the waiter stared in astonishment at Gu Jiuyao as she completed a series of actions. After a moment, she helplessly said to the waiter, "Just add some more vegetables."
Although Gu Jiuyou had taken a seat, the deep furrow in his brow showed no sign of easing, which made Lin Chuxia feel somewhat awkward
Cute and adorable
Lin Chuxia's eyes darted around, yet she still could not fathom the reason behind Gu Jiuyao's deeply furrowed brows
Oh? Gu Jiuyou smiled, "So you came here to spend the night unconsciously?"
Even if Lin Chuxia was somewhat slow on the uptake, she could sense that An Jiemo was angry. After being hung up on, Lin Chuxia slightly furrowed her brows, but ultimately, she silently sent a text message to An Jiemo, roughly saying that she would accompany him next time and hoping that he would not be angry.
Having learned from the previous lesson, Lin Chuxia indeed became wiser. She thought that by resolving the script for this episode, she could return and write the next episode in advance, thus avoiding the rush to submit it to Teacher Gu for revisions right before the deadline, which would delay the filming for the crew
After a long time, Lin Chuxia finally completed the revisions to the script and respectfully presented it with both hands. Gu Jiuyou took the script, carefully read through it, and then marked two or three places before throwing the script back to her: "Are you sure you have revised these sections? They have only been superficially modified, and the actual issues have not been addressed. Revise it again."
This must be a nightmare! Otherwise, how could this end up here!
After fiddling for quite a while, she finally turned off the ringtone
Hmm. Bai Shijiu remained focused on the online game on the computer
Then he hung up the phone
At that time, Lin Chuxia was in such despair that she did not know what to do.
Suddenly, the aroma of the food on the table interrupted her doubts, so she directly ignored Gu Jiuyao's look of disdain and happily ate by herself, making "smacking" sounds while occasionally expressing her satisfaction.
However, Lin Chuxia was unaware that she was delighted by the love of Bai Shijiu, who "waited for the clouds to part and the moon to shine," yet she was once again misunderstood by An Jiemo.
In a state of shock and helplessness, Lin Chuxia hurriedly got off at the next station
So, he wasn't angry at all
Lin Chuxia thought to herself, nervously swallowed, and then stood up with a "whoosh". Before An Jiemo could reach her, she anxiously began to explain: "Jiemo, please don't misunderstand, things are not as you think. I... I came here to experience the part of the script in the next episode that involves the food stall. Teacher Gu came with me just to guide me a bit. I originally didn't plan to come, but the teacher said..."
Cough cough
Thinking of this, Lin Chuxia hurriedly bid farewell to Gu Jiuyou and rushed to find An Jiemo
A person stands in an unfamiliar place, the night gradually enveloping the scenery visible to Lin Chuxia's eyes. In the dark world, only the faint light of the bus stop accompanies her. Lin Chuxia's heart is not merely anxious; she is very afraid. Since childhood, she has been afraid of the dark, especially when alone, and now she finds herself in an unfamiliar place.
As soon as her words fell, Gu Jiu You looked at her with an inexplicable gaze of scrutiny, as if he had read the unspoken implication of her intention to run away. Following this, just as Lin Chuxia was about to get up, Gu Jiu You directly opened the drawer under the coffee table, casually grabbed a pen, and handed it over, commanding: "Make the changes."
I have something to attend to
Lin Chuxia was momentarily taken aback, then hurriedly followed suit
In the past two days, Gu Jiuyao has not come to urge Lin Chuxia for a draft, which makes her feel even more that when she sees Gu Jiuyao again, she will be shot down by his cold gaze and then die from the impact
Suddenly, Bai Shijiu stopped his actions, his gaze fixed on the computer, yet his attention seemed not to be on the screen, resulting in his character, which was engaged in a fierce battle with others, being severely knocked out by the opponent
I am lost
However, given the circumstances, Lin Chuxia had no choice but to go, even if she was reluctant. After all, Gu Jiuyou was the one holding her entire semester's worth of credits, and she had to go despite the risk of being complained about by Jie Mo.
Just as Lin Chuxia was repeatedly dismantling the battery, An Jiamei called her.
In a state of surprise and curiosity, Lin Chuxia glanced towards the bathroom again; separated by a door, she could no longer see him
No longer daring to think wildly or linger too long, Lin Chuxia began to run towards the place illuminated by lights
How did you come here
It is not a dream
However, she anxiously waited for him to finish reading, and Gu Jiu You unexpectedly said, "Let's go, accompany me to eat at the night market tonight."
In fact, An Jiemo came to this food stall because he had heard Lin Chuxia mention her fondness for it. He originally intended to pack some of Lin Chuxia's favorite dishes to take to her dormitory. He understood that taking on such a significant script was a tremendous challenge for Lin Chuxia, as well as a great opportunity for her growth, so he found it reasonable that she declined his invitation. However, An Jiemo never expected to encounter the most unlikely person at the food stall—Lin Chuxia.

However, An Jiemo never expected to encounter the most unlikely person at the food stall—Lin Chuxia
She never told Lin Chuxia that the reason An Jiemo invited her to the food stall tonight was not for a date, but for Lin Chuxia. She even harbored a secret hope that Lin Chuxia would never know An Jiemo's feelings, as that would leave her with a possibility of being with An Jiemo.
Looking at the eerie and dim surroundings, Lin Chuxia felt a sense of panic
As she watched An Jiema lead Bai Shijiu away, Lin Chuxia's mind kept echoing his last words
Feeling hungry, he simply got up and went to the refrigerator to search for food, but only found a bag of expired bread. Looking at the bread, he frowned, threw it away, and then poured himself a large cup of warm water, drinking it all in one go
Lin Chuxia's tone was very pitiful, yet for An Jiemo, it felt as if his invitation was a one-sided coercion
He thought that by bringing her favorite food as encouragement while she was diligently writing the script, she would be happy
After a moment, noticing that she was sending a message, Gu Jiu You then asked in a strange tone once she finished: "Is the script revised?"
Gu Jiu You's words were merely intended to cut off Lin Chu Xia's path forward
Lin Chuxia originally intended to quietly slip into Gu Jiuyou's home, leave the script, and leave. However, reality always deviates from plans
Lin Chuxia was startled. After taking out her phone, she looked at the black screen and murmured, "It clearly has no battery, so why is it still ringing?"
Because Gu Jiuyou was truly furious, An Jiemo was also infuriated. He had seen the call from Lin Chuxia, but he was just in a fit of anger and did not want to hear any explanations from Lin Chuxia
Upon entering, Lin Chuxia clearly regained a sense of familiarity. She chose a relatively secluded spot and, as soon as she sat down, ordered a variety of barbecued dishes that she particularly enjoyed. However, when she finished ordering and was about to ask Gu Jiuyou what he wanted to eat, she noticed that he was frowning and intently examining the smoke-stained walls around them. After glancing at the somewhat sticky stool, he unhesitatingly took several napkins from the table and thoroughly wiped down the stool inside and out before finally sitting down.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Chuxia recalled Gu Jiuyou's status as a highly esteemed screenwriter and immediately understood that such a low-end eatery must be considered a "dirty, chaotic, and poor" place in Gu Jiuyou's eyes. Thus, she turned and ran back to Gu Jiuyou's side, asking: "Shall we change to another place?"
With each creaking sound of "creak creak," Lin Chuxia's heart was pounding "thump thump."
Gu Jiuyou glanced down at Lin Chuxia from a high position, without turning his head, he dismissively said "No need" and arrogantly walked inside
Fortunately, the barbecue was served quickly, and the table was instantly filled with large and small plates of meat, along with the vegetables that Lin Chuxia had specially ordered to take care of Gu Jiuyao
Just as Lin Chuxia was grabbing a pair of chopsticks from the holder on the table, ready to indulge, she noticed that Gu Jiuyou's brows were furrowed even deeper. However, what she did not know was that, looking at those charred, blackened skewers of meat, Gu Jiuyou only wanted to pick them up and dump them all into the trash can
As if speaking to oneself, An Jiemo could no longer be angry and had no choice but to take out his phone to call Lin Chuxia
However, nineteen, I am truly fortunate to be able to return
Upon hearing An Jiemo's faint remark, "Lin Chuxia, you are truly cruel to me," she immediately took Bai Shijiu by the hand and quickly left the food stall.
Upon realizing this, Lin Chuxia immediately ran towards the bus station. As soon as she arrived at the bus station, she saw the No. 222 bus. She remembered that this bus would take her to a certain stop where she could transfer to the No. 172 bus to return to school. Given the current situation, Lin Chuxia knew that returning to school was her only option, so she boarded the No. 222 bus without hesitation. She then called An Jiemo, but when she couldn't reach him, she decided to head back to school first. She felt that this call to apologize was absolutely necessary, but after dialing more than ten times, Jiemo did not answer.

After a long time, under the guidance of Lin Chuxia, Gu Jiuyou got off the car, but could not help but ask in curiosity
But she was wrong
Seeing Lin Chuxia's awkward and comical appearance, Gu Jiuyou sitting beside her raised a faint smile
However, he never expected to encounter such a scene; it turned out that in her heart, Gu Jiuyou was the one who could not be refused
Um...
The moment An Jiamei saw Gu Jiuyao, she happened to catch the slightly indulgent smile at the corner of his mouth
This time, Bai Shijiu did not make a sound. It was only then that Lin Chuxia noticed her indifference, and she blinked her eyes, leaned closer to her, and asked: "Shijiu, what’s wrong with you?"
The voice remained cold, yet it was a rare calm critique. Lin Chuxia blinked in astonishment, her gaze towards Gu Jiuyou filled with suspicious scrutiny, fearing that this was merely the tranquility before the storm.
Yes, this is my favorite food stall, and the food is absolutely delicious. Although I had been thinking about escaping all the way here, the moment I saw the food stall, Lin Chuxia, being a foodie, experienced a complete 180-degree change in attitude, her mood lifted, and she strode confidently towards the food stall
This is it! Lin Chuxia lamented inwardly. She had just refused to engage with Jie Mo, which had already angered him. Now, inexplicably, Gu Jiuyao had also lost his mind and insisted on taking her to a street food stall? Could she refuse? ... But having already angered Jie Mo, if she were to refuse Gu Jiuyao as well ...
Before she could reach out to soothe her startled heart, Lin Chuxia pressed the answer button, as she feared that in the next moment, Gu Jiuyou would punch her away.
Looking at the two diverging paths on either side, Lin Chuxia relied on her intuition to make a choice. However, Lin Chuxia forgot that she had a poor sense of direction, and thus, after wandering aimlessly for a while, she realized that the scenery around her was completely unfamiliar.
"Nineteen, do you know? I got lost today and it took me a long time to find my way back..." As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Lin Chuxia saw Bai Shijiu still battling in front of the computer, so she pulled a chair over and sat down beside Bai Shijiu, chattering away.
Lin Chuxia was completely unaware of Bai Shijiu's indifference and continued on her own: "You have no idea, I was so flustered and anxious, my phone was dead, I was utterly desperate! However, fortunately, my luck wasn't too bad; I stumbled my way to Gu Jiuyou's villa. It's quite miraculous when I think about it, getting lost and ending up at his place. Don't you think that's amazing?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to talk to you." An Jiemu smiled and then asked, "What are you doing?"
Ah? Lin Chuxia had just taken a deep breath when she heard Gu Jiuyou's teasing, and she was somewhat taken aback.
An Jiamei became displeased once again and speculated inwardly: Lin Chuxia, you are intentionally not answering my calls, aren't you?
Well. Good night
At this time, it is difficult to catch a taxi when you come to the villa; it is hard to reach the intersection outside. So, are you trying to use this as an excuse to stay here overnight
At this moment, An Jiemo stood at the entrance of the food stall, watching her and Gu Jiuyao with eyes that seemed to burn with fierce flames. The usually gentle and amiable man now wore a face full of anger that could not be concealed.
Like a thief, she looked around and then moved the flower pot at the entrance of the villa aside, revealing the spare key
When Lin Chuxia submitted the script to Gu Jiuyou again, two days had already passed since the last time she refused to leave the set with him.
Even so, I feel that inviting Bai Shijiu to choose food together would bring her even more happiness with double the affection
The more Lin Chuxia wanted to achieve the state of "unconsciously," the more flustered she became, resulting in even more noise. For instance, when she pushed the door, Lin Chuxia moved it almost imperceptibly, yet the door was anything but cooperative, seemingly intent on undermining her efforts, creaking mischievously with every gentle push.
After Lin Chuxia ran out of the food stall, An Jiemo was already nowhere to be found
Oh
The voice of An Jiemo came from the phone, and Lin Chuxia was so surprised that she forgot to respond
Is there a problem
02
Lin Chuxia found herself unknowingly outside Gu Jiuyou's villa
A brief response, yet delivered with a tone that is somewhat indifferent and impatient
However, she was fortunate that she was not kicked out of the hospital by Gu Jiuyao, as she had not encountered him. The nurse informed her that he had been discharged. Therefore, she had no choice but to leave the hospital and go directly to Gu Jiuyao's home
Adorable little chrysanthemum
Oh? Why are you going to his house? Has he enslaved you again?
Due to her feelings of guilt and fear, Lin Chuxia did not dare to call Gu Jiuyou before coming, and thus she was unaware of whether he was at home. This is why she was so cautious when opening the door.
Oh. Although Bai Shijiu had some concerns upon hearing that she was lost, his reaction was still extremely indifferent, to the point that he didn't even glance at her.
However, An Jiemo ultimately still felt sorry for Lin Chuxia. Two hours later, the frustration he had felt earlier had diminished significantly. Moreover, thinking about how Lin Chuxia had been eager to explain herself before, he could no longer bear it. He comforted himself, telling himself that it might just be an accident, and that Lin Chuxia, that silly girl, would not engage in any petty schemes related to the entertainment industry.
He said you must come, so that you would know how to write the next episode's script, right? Upon reaching her, An Jiemo said, yet his gaze did not look at Lin Chuxia, but was instead fixed firmly on Gu Jiuyou beside her
Is that so? Gu Jiuyou tugged at the corner of his mouth and continued in a淡淡的 tone, "Perhaps the lamb skewers you are eating now are made of rat meat."
However, she, who had already taken several steps forward, suddenly realized that Gu Jiuyou behind her was completely still. Thus, filled with confusion, she turned her head and found Gu Jiuyou standing at the entrance of the food stall, frowning and motionless
Is that so? Although it was a questioning tone, Lin Chuxia had already breathed a sigh of relief. "Then you can't spend long hours battling in front of the computer anymore. However, Jie Mo is really something, getting angry with you while on a date, it must have ruined the atmosphere of your date, right? Is that why you came back so early to play games? Alas, it's all my fault!"
Lin Chuxia let out a sigh of disappointment, put away her phone, and looked out the car window to see a dark and unfamiliar environment
Although it was a tone of astonishment, Gu Jiu You spoke calmly
Although Lin Chuxia kept his voice suppressed while on the phone, he clearly heard An Jiemo's invitation
His face was no longer visible, and his emotions could not be guessed. However, after entering, he surprisingly did not mention anything about the last incident. Although his tone was indifferent, it was evident that he was not angry
adorable
She spoke in an extremely relaxed tone, believing that mentioning An Jiemo and Bai Shijiu would make her forget all her unhappiness
Lin Chuxia immediately made a judgment, but she did not panic. After taking a deep breath, she noticed a bus stop not far away.
No, there is none
Lin Chuxia wore a苦着一张脸, knowing that she could no longer refuse Gu Jiuyou. After all, it was for her to write a good script that Gu Jiuyou had "reluctantly" allowed her to accompany him to eat at the street food stall. However, even so, Lin Chuxia always felt that after rejecting Jie Mo, agreeing to go with Gu Jiuyou made her feel very sorry for Jie Mo.
She quickly put down her phone and silently focused her attention on the script
Gu Jiu You gazed at her; although her words were incoherent, the excitement and happiness in her speech had already softened his heart. Even though he wanted to point out that she had always seemed unhappy to see him before, looking at her laughing and crying, he could not bring himself to "question" her.
Idiot Lin Chuxia, what on earth are you thinking!
An Jiamei sighed, realizing that there was no way for her to remain angry with Lin Chuxia, the foolish one who could only apologize while pitifully wagging her tail.
Although the past has been set aside, if there is a refusal this time, it will surely be considered as "old grievances and new grudges" combined
As Gu Jiu You had never visited a food stall before, he could only rely on Lin Chuxia to lead the way
After silently reciting "I see nothing" one hundred times in his heart, he casually asked, "Lin Chuxia, is this what you usually eat at the street stalls?"
Suddenly, a raging anger surged within An Jiemo's heart
Intuition told her that Bai Shijiu was somewhat off.
However, when An Jiemo called, Lin Chuxia's phone was turned off
Facing Gu Jiu You's gaze that seemed to say "Want to escape? No way!", Lin Chuxia took the pen, her mouth moving rapidly in displeasure, but the curses could only unfold in her heart.
However, upon seeing Lin Chuxia leave, the ever-silent Gu Jiuyou also got up. After paying the bill, he quietly left the food stall. Yet, as he walked away, he couldn't help but sigh, pondering what exactly he was doing all this for
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. An Anjie Mo and Gu Jiu You were immediately placed on the scale in Lin Chuxia's heart. One was a good friend she had known for 4 years, while the other was merely a mentor who often exploited her. Lin Chuxia made her choice right away; of course, her male best friend was more important than her mentor
Lin Chuxia's face suddenly flushed red, and she belatedly realized it, quickly averting her gaze.
Although she did not understand Anjiemo's thoughts, she knew that he was angry; otherwise, how could he have called her cruel
After answering with a hint of resentment, Lin Chuxia sat down on the sofa. Just as she was feeling utterly bored, she suddenly seemed to remember something and abruptly raised her eyes to look at Gu Jiuyou
Hello, Xiaochuxia
In the early summer, Lin's thoughts had already shifted to "An Jiemo and Bai Shijiu are on a date together," and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up in a smile, filled with the realization: So Bai Shijiu and An Jiemo are already together.
The implication is that they are both talking on the phone and sending messages, it seems that the script has been revised thoroughly!
Because he was able to get through occasionally, albeit just for a moment, it was enough for An Jiemo to believe that Lin Chuxia was deliberately giving him a cold shoulder, thus he hung up the phone and no longer called back
Really? Lin Chuxia was half-convinced.
Although An Jiemo's behavior is quite strange, she indeed has her faults. However, Lin Chuxia has called An Jiemo three times in a row, and An Jiemo has not answered.
Adorable little chrysanthemum
"At the teacher's house," Lin Chuxia replied, glancing towards Gu Jiuyou, but could not see his face.
Lin Chuxia was both moved and excited, almost leaping forward, but fortunately her still-clear reason suppressed her impulse. So, while wiping her tears, she smiled and choked out, "Teacher Gu, it’s so... so wonderful, sob, I can’t believe I’m seeing you, I really didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect that I... I would be able to meet Teacher Gu, really, it’s the first time seeing Teacher Gu and I’m this happy..."
Before the words were finished, a cough sounded in the room
She cannot sleep, for if Gu Jiu You comes out, he will surely kill her!
The gentle voice, unmistakably that of Gu Jiu You, offered a "friendly reminder." Thus, Lin Chuxia hurriedly dismissed An Jiemo, saying: "Jiemo, I am really busy right now. If you have nothing urgent..."
Gu Jiu You naturally noticed her small actions, but he did not make any explicit remarks. The corners of his mouth subtly lifted, as if he was enjoying her cuteness at that moment
After taking several deep breaths, Lin Chuxia took out her phone and began to use a game to clear the chaotic images in her mind. However, to her dismay, the games on her phone were pitifully few and extremely boring. Thus, after playing Tetris for just two minutes, she started to feel dissatisfied with her outdated phone and then became more comfortable with the sofa
"If you don't understand, you must ask." Seeing her obedient and compliant, Gu Jiu You couldn't help but feel a sense of pity. However, it was evident that Lin Chuxia was completely unaware of this and only thought he was calling her stupid. Therefore, she repeatedly responded, "Just give me a little more time, I can improve!"
"It's not true!" Lin Chuxia exclaimed excitedly. Her hands moved too vigorously, causing her phone to slip from her grasp and fall to the ground, with the battery popping out. Feeling distressed for her phone, she let out a scream and hurriedly went to "retrieve the remains" of her device, all the while complaining, "My phone, it's all your fault, teacher, boohoo!"
Imagining Lin Chuxia's expression, An Jiemo understood that her reason for wanting to end the call was that it was inconvenient for her to talk. He shouldn't have minded it, but his initial displeasure inexplicably intensified, and he said: "Why don't you go back to the dormitory to revise? Do you have to revise at his place? Under his 'supervision', can you really revise properly?"
Lin Chuxia was contemplating in her heart, but Gu Jiuyou seemed to see through her hesitation and directly emphasized: "Although this script has passed, I do not want the next script to be filled with errors and omissions. Moreover, I remember that there is a scene in the next script where the male and female leads perform a scene together in a street food stall. This trip is not just for eating; it is also to let you experience life. Since we need to write a good script, we must immerse ourselves in the environment to fully capture that feeling." This trip is not just for eating; it is also to let you experience life. Since we need to write a good script, we must immerse ourselves in the environment to fully capture that feeling.
However, seeing Lin Chuxia at the food stall was not the final trigger for An Jiemo's bad temper; what angered him was that Lin Chuxia, who had rejected his invitation, would actually appear at the food stall with Gu Jiuyao!
When did Anjiemo become so stingy
With a slight frown, An Jiemo dialed her several times in succession, most of which showed as powered off, and on one or two occasions, just as the connection was established with a beeping sound, it was abruptly cut off.
Although Lin Chuxia was quite dull, in this situation, she was perceptive enough to understand his meaning, no matter how foolish she might be
Thus, Lin Chuxia could only follow behind Gu Jiuyou and walk out of his villa
Speaking of which, it's all that guy's fault! If it weren't for going to find him, I wouldn't have gotten lost! Hmph
Thus, the person on the other end of the phone, An Jiemo, remained silent for a long time. After a considerable while, he finally let out a sigh, then silently nodded and simply replied, "Alright"
Ah? Lin Chuxia's expression immediately darkened.
Lin Chuxia took a deep breath, just as she was about to hold her breath and quickly squeeze through the gap, when she heard an impatient voice coming from behind the redwood folding door: "Are you stealing?"
04
A sudden sense of foreboding swept over Lin Chuxia, and she quickly asked the driver how much longer it would be to the transfer station. However, the driver informed her that there were still two stops until the final destination, and the transfer station she mentioned was likely in the opposite direction.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her emotions and tried hard to make her voice sound normal, saying: "I am fine, just feeling a bit unwell"
Is this a dream
However, the next day, when she took her phone for repair, she discovered that it was merely the screen that was broken. Meanwhile, Lin Chuxia was unaware that the ringing she heard in front of Gu Jiuyou's villa was actually a call from An Jiemo, which she had inadvertently answered. As a result, An Jiemo overheard her conversation with Gu Jiuyou, which concluded with Gu Jiuyou's remark, "So you came to stay overnight here unconsciously."
After letting out a slight sigh, Lin Chuxia called An Jiemo.
Indeed," Lin Chuxia said, nodding her head as she stuffed a lamb skewer into her mouth, chewing with her mouth full.
Watching Lin Chuxia come and go in a hurried manner, resembling a thief, Gu Jiuyou felt somewhat irritated and rubbed his temples. He then turned his body to block Lin Chuxia's path, casually closed the door, and said indifferently: "You wait here. I will freshen up a bit, and then we will review the script. If there are any issues, you can make modifications on the spot."
Lin Chuxia only felt wronged; she had no choice but to come to the street food stall with Gu Jiuyou, and it was not her intention to deceive him. Yet, she was unjustly labeled as "cruel." Lin Chuxia felt extremely aggrieved. However, just as her feelings were about to transition from grievance to anger, the image of An Jiemu's angry expression suddenly appeared in her mind, and Lin Chuxia realized that she indeed owed An Jiemu an apology first.
In a moment of confusion, the call of An Jiemo echoed in her ears once again. Lin Chuxia sluggishly responded, "I am here," and then, as if realizing that her voice was slightly raised, she lowered her volume and quietly asked, "What is it?"
It is Gu Jiuyou, Gu Jiuyou has truly appeared
However, it is evident that Gu Jiuyao did not take into account that Lin Chuxia had been waiting outside for a long time; he was completely oblivious to the passage of time. This grooming session had already lasted for more than half an hour. Lin Chuxia leaned on the sofa, feeling drowsy, tightly clutching the script in her hand, occasionally opening her eyes quickly to check if Gu Jiuyao had come out of the bathroom.
Lin Chuxia increasingly felt guilty as she spoke, her tone filled with deep apologies
However, when her gaze fell upon the white door of the bathroom, she suddenly heard the sound of dripping water. Her mind instinctively activated its imaginative capacity, and the memories in her mind became clearer, with Gu Jiuyou's six faintly visible abdominal muscles immediately appearing before her eyes
Thus, when Lin Chuxia arrived at the hospital, trembling with the manuscript in hand, she was constantly worried about whether Gu Jiuyou would kick her out.
Teacher, I ... ...
Lin Chuxia swallowed nervously, sizing her up. She originally wanted to ask more detailed questions, but she didn't know where to start. Then, recalling An Jiemo, she shifted the topic and said with a smile: "Let's talk about something happy. How come you went to the food stall with Jiemo today, and to such a far one? You two are on a date, right? Hehe! When did you get together? Come on, spill the beans!"
What kind of sin have I committed to fall into your hands, Lin Chuxia!
"I... I am not!" Lin Chuxia said anxiously, her face inexplicably flushed by the term 'overnight'. "I was just lost, I was looking for something, but I didn't expect to get lost, and I don't even know why I ended up here!"
It was already past 4 PM, and Lin Chuxia was contemplating that if any further modifications were needed this time, she would use her hunger as an excuse to directly suggest taking the script back to the dormitory for revisions
Seeing Lin Chuxia's expression of satisfaction and joy, Gu Jiuyou looked on in disbelief
With his back to her, Bai Shijiu slightly parted his lips, intending to say something, but ultimately replaced the words in his throat and said: "I am going to sleep now, you should wash up and sleep soon too"
When the somewhat frightening ringtone suddenly rang out in the empty house, Lin Chuxia nearly rolled off the sofa, and she also sensed a gaze filled with disdain directed at her. Sure enough, when she turned her head, she directly met Gu Jiuyou's gaze.
Suddenly, before Lin Chuxia could react, Bai Shijiu directly exited the game
Bai Shijiu turned his back to her, and tears suddenly blurred his vision
After finding the key, Lin Chuxia smiled triumphantly, then crouched down and carefully inserted the key into the lock, even the action of turning the key was done with great caution. Following this, after two gentle 'click' sounds, the Gu family's front door slowly opened. Feeling guilty, she deliberately slowed down her movements as she pushed the door open
With this thought in mind, Lin Chuxia timidly swallowed her saliva and suddenly recalled the last time she had refused to leave with Gu Jiuyou in order to go to the street food stall with Jie Mo
As long as there is a bus stop, there is no fear of not being able to return
Lin Chuxia certainly did not forget that this afternoon at Gu Jiuyou's house, she declined An Jiemu's invitation to the food stall under the pretext of being busy writing a script
Why would Anjiemo call at this time
Watching Bai Shijiu shut down the computer, she got up and climbed onto the bed. Lin Chuxia was inexplicably stunned in place, and it took her a while to react. Then she quickly leaned over to the side of Bai Shijiu's bed, anxiously asking her: "Shijiu, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Why do you seem a bit strange tonight? Is it... is it that An Jiemo upset you? If he bullied you, just tell me, and I will help you teach him a lesson!"
The sofa in Gu Jiu You's home is soft and comfortable, and Lin Chu Xia is half-lying on the sofa when suddenly a wave of drowsiness hits her
"That's enough, this broken phone should have been replaced long ago." Gu Jiuyou pretended to look at her with disdain, yet a smile lingered at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Let me take you back."
I want to go to the night market, will you go with me tonight? We didn't get to eat there last time, and I think it would be better for us to go this time! After all, for a foodie like Lin Chuxia, fulfilling a promised meal is a must. Although still feeling quite displeased, An Jiemo softened his tone since he wanted to invite her, convinced that such a gentle invitation would be impossible for Lin Chuxia to refuse. However, he overlooked the fact that although Lin Chuxia, sitting next to Gu Jiuyou, was indeed a true foodie, the low pressure emanating from Gu Jiuyou at that moment forced her to remain alert. But since he wanted to invite her, An Jiemo softened his tone again, convinced that such a gentle invitation would be impossible for Lin Chuxia to refuse. Yet, he neglected to consider that Lin Chuxia, sitting beside Gu Jiuyou, despite being a genuine foodie, had to stay alert due to the low pressure coming from Gu Jiuyou.
At this moment, in this情景, Gu Jiu You's voice sounded to Lin Chuxia as if it were coming from the eighteenth layer of hell, startling her into a shudder, causing the script in her hand to accidentally fall.
Did you rush over here without finishing your meal because you missed me?
It was 1:30 PM when Lin Chuxia arrived outside Gu Jiuyou's villa
Uh... so, what is the matter?
It was only after Gu Jiuyou shook the script that Lin Chuxia came to her senses, trembling as she reached out her hand to receive the script he handed over
After a while, Lin Chuxia finally regained her composure, and her first reaction was to immediately turn her head and stare at Gu Jiuyou, who was sitting opposite her, for a few seconds. Then she slowly turned back to look at the entrance of the food stall again, only to find that Jie Mo was no longer standing there, but was instead walking towards her step by step
At that moment, Gu Jiu You had already entered the bathroom, and before the door closed, she only caught a glimpse of his back.
Following Lin Chuxia all the way, how could he not know that she had accidentally stumbled upon his villa while lost? However, he certainly did not want her to know that he was worried about her, so he followed her all the way, pretending to encounter her by chance and feigning surprise
Finally, after 1 hour, when Lin Chuxia felt that her head was about to merge with the sofa, Gu Jiuyou finally walked out of the bathroom
