Looking forward to returning home

Gu Yanxiao paused, pursed her lips and said, "Aren't you busy today?"

There was a hint of shyness in the words, but the fingers still moved away from the screen silently.

"I'm not busy. I came here earlier to prepare." An Lin explained with a smile, "Let's get rid of the jet lag these few days. You are more important."

Hearing An Lin talk about the house, Gu Yanxiao's attention was attracted, and he asked, "Didn't the school arrange a dormitory for you? Why are you still looking for a house?"

"Yes, but it's a bit far away from the school and it's not convenient. Most of the students who come to study abroad choose to share the rent." An Lin blinked, and then said, "I'm more used to living alone, so it's better to come out by myself. some."

Ever since she was a child, An Lin lived with Gu Ping and An Ran in the old house of the Gu family when she was a child, and the only person who slept with her was Gu Yanxiao.

But after finding out that he had other thoughts about Gu Yanxiao, the two never slept together again.

Gu Yanxiao didn't notice the weirdness of the adolescent girl at that time, and she was busy with work, often coming home late at night, and most of the time it was difficult to keep her head down and not look up as usual.

When I got home, only the floor lamp in the corner of the living room and the small lamp in the porch exuded cool white and warm yellow lights, which were the lights left by the girl for the night returner.

She took off her shoes, walked in slowly, and quietly pushed open the door of An Lin's room. The room was pitch black, only a ray of light from the crack in the door came in, and the light and shadow were mottled, faintly reflecting on the small raised bed on the bed. On the mountain bag, there was no movement, which showed that the man had been asleep for a long time.

Gu Yanxiao took a deep breath, and then exhaled quietly. She didn't know whether she was tired or bewildered, she exited silently, and closed the door again.

The only light in the darkness was hidden, and there was silence for more than a minute. An Lin, who had closed his eyes, slowly opened them, and the eyes that were clearer in the night were full of distress and pity.

The sound of footsteps outside the room door was muted, perhaps because he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping person.

An Lin straightened up slowly, supported the mattress with one hand, pushed her quilt away from her body, and looked at the gap under the door.

The light outside the living room came in faintly, and a shadow could be seen walking back and forth outside.

It was nearly one o'clock now.

Gu Yanxiao has been coming home late recently. At first An Lin would wait for her more, but later Gu Yanxiao realized this and asked her to go to bed earlier. She didn't need to wait for her and promised that if she came back Dichi will tell her in advance.

It is true today.

But it was conveyed by Jiang Mushu.

An Lin didn't know if Gu Yanxiao had a good meal and a good rest. Since taking over the YA position, she has been busy socializing every day, and sometimes she smells like alcohol when she comes back.

An Lin asked her, she always said that she didn't drink too much, she only drank two glasses for the sake of the client.

But it was only because Gu Yanxiao didn't look good when he drank that he couldn't tell. No one knew how much he drank, except herself.

She stared at the crack in the door in a daze, but sat on the bed from the beginning to the end, making no other movements.

She knew that Gu Yanxiao pushed the door in to take a look because she was worried about her, and even if she knew she was working hard, even if she felt sorry for her, she should stay here obediently and not let Gu Yanxiao know that she was late because she was worried about her late return did not sleep.

I want to go out and hug her, give her my shoulder to lean on, or pat her on the back lightly, and say thank you for your hard work.

It's just that she can't do it.

With her current status, she can only be quiet and obedient.

After waiting for the lights outside to go out, and hearing the sound of Gu Yanxiao closing the door, An Lin folded up the quilt again and lay down.

If only he could grow up faster.

I don't know how many times I have thought this way.

"Then...you think this is appropriate, that's fine..." Gu Yanxiao hummed, expressing that he agrees with An Lin's opinion, but he also knows that even if he says no now, it won't help.

she and ann

Rin is so far away, and she is an adult, no matter how long her hands are, she can't control her.

On the contrary, An Lin was surprised that Gu Yanxiao accepted her reason so easily. She thought she would dissuade her a little bit, and the lines were all prepared, but it didn't come in handy.

So she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly relaxed and said with a smile: "I thought you would say something wrong."

"It's fine as long as you feel good." Gu Yanxiao smiled lightly, his eyes fixed on An Lin's face, "You are already an adult who can make decisions for yourself."

She said softly, with some relief in her eyes, and finally admitted this verbally for the first time.

"Of course." With a smile on An Lin's face, she responded to Gu Yanxiao with a soft and gentle tone, "I can only protect you when I grow up."

This is An Lin's long-cherished wish.

When I was young, I hid in your arms and acted like a baby to keep warm, and under your arms to avoid others disturbing me; now that I have grown up, I also hope that I can use all my strength to protect you like you once did to me.

"What stupid words? I have nothing to protect." Gu Yanxiao took her words as a joke for a while, and didn't listen carefully to her heart.

An Lin can see it naturally, but now they are on different sides, just saying "I want to protect you" on empty words, it seems too insincere.So he shrugged and smiled perfunctorily, "Well, just kidding."

It shouldn't be too late when she can stand in front of Gu Yanxiao and say this herself.

"You go to take a shower, and I will come too."

An Lin changed the subject, looked sideways at the sunny blue sky outside the window, the clouds were sparse, gently blown by the breeze, drifting slowly in the air, gradually drifting away.

"Ah?" Unexpectedly, Gu Yanxiao was stunned suddenly, and his lips parted, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

Hearing her cry, An Lin turned to look at her, wondering what was wrong with her.

Immediately recalling the sentence I said just now, it seems... very ambiguous.

She couldn't help grinning and laughing: "I mean, I'm going to get up too. You go to take a shower, and I will go to wash up too."

The man also came to his senses, coughed lightly, concealed his wandering thoughts just now, and hummed: "I know, I'm going now."

Holding the phone, Gu Yanxiao walked into the room, opened the closet to find a new set of pajamas and a change of clothes, and then went straight to the bathroom.

Looking at the dark red marble countertop, she paused for a moment, put the phone aside, and put all the clothes on the high stand.

An Lin said that she was going to get up, but she still sat on the bed with her mobile phone in her arms, watching with great interest all the actions Gu Yanxiao made on the opposite screen.

Gu Yanxiao took the makeup remover towel, wiped off the light makeup on his face according to the usual makeup removal steps, squeezed a small ball of facial cleanser and put it in the palm of his left hand, after some warm water, gently rubbed it with his right hand, and spread it evenly on the face On his face, he carefully cleaned every corner.

An Lin has been pleased with such a quiet and calm appearance for a long time. She remembers that when she was a child, she often poked her head outside the bathroom door and looked in to see what Gu Yanxiao was doing.

At that time, she didn't know what these actions meant, and why it took so long for her sister to wash her face. Obviously, when my sister taught herself to wash her face before, she wet a towel, wrung it dry, and wiped it on her face. That's it.

Is it because she is a child and my sister is an adult?

An Lin had struggled with this small matter for a long time.

Because she wanted to know everything about Gu Yanxiao.

But he was afraid that Gu Yanxiao would be confused by the things he brought up.

She has a strong thirst for knowledge, but what is stronger than that is that she hopes that she will not become a burden and annoyance to Gu Yanxiao.

After Gu Yanxiao finished all this, he glanced at the screen of the mobile phone, but saw that An Lin was still looking at himself with his chin resting on his face, with a slight annoyance on his face: "Didn't you start talking? Why are you still sitting on the bed?" on."

The color of the back of the bed was too conspicuous, Gu Yanxiao recognized it immediately, and said lightly.

"I remember, but you are too nice

After watching it, I was immediately fascinated and stunned. "An Lin showed her smooth little canine teeth and smiled.

"What nonsense..." Gu Yanxiao's annoyance was calmed down by An Lin's words, and the roots of his ears were outlined in pale pink.

"No nonsense. Now, when I finally see you, I just want to keep looking at you, and I don't want to miss a second." Her face was gentle but solemn, expressing her feelings for her frankly, without hiding it.

Because of the time difference, they can only communicate with each other briefly before going to bed, and the rest of the time they have to be busy with their respective work and study.

Just like An Lin said.

Long-distance love is bitter, and long-distance love is even more bitter.

What's more, Gu Yanxiao hasn't even given her an accurate answer yet.

"We used to meet every day..." When Gu Yanxiao said this, he lacked confidence.

Meeting each other every day is nothing more than meeting each other before going out, and at most adding a good night when returning home late.

That's why An Lin runs to the YA building whenever she is free.

She wants to see her.

"I know." An Lin smiled lightly, not exposing Gu Yanxiao's words.

Gu Yanxiao lowered his head a little, lowered his eyes, propped his hands on the edge of the sink, and unconsciously pinched his fingertips into the gaps on the side. Guilt and apology were hidden in his eyes. After a while, he raised his head and said softly: " Ann, I'm sorry..."

"Yan Xiao." An Lin immediately realized what Gu Yanxiao wanted to say, and immediately interrupted her, "You don't need to say such things, I don't need them, and I don't even want to hear them."

"I don't want you to feel guilty about me, because everything you do for me is not what you should do."

"You saved me from them and raised me. I should be grateful to you instead of saying sorry or sorry to me."

"Because I'm the one who should say that..."

An Lin's tone fell due to Gu Yanxiao's performance: "It's my fault, I have such a different feeling for you, which troubles you and embarrasses you."

Obviously he said before that he would not cause trouble to Gu Yanxiao, but he broke his own words, which really caused Gu Yanxiao a lot of trouble.

It's just that her feelings for her can never be erased, buried too deep in her heart.

She wants her.

More than anything in the world.
