Strawberry Pops

I went to the hospital today, but Gu Nuan was exhausted.As soon as he arrived at the dormitory, he ate something casually and swallowed the medicine, then took a shower early and went to bed.

Sleeping until midnight, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to give the shrimp dumpling to Han Yang. He pulled himself out of the sweet dream abruptly, and his mind became wide awake.

He wanted to ask Ji Mu, but found that the phone screen displayed - 03:30 in the morning.

Unlucky enough to wake up, it was an awkward time.

Gu Nuan had no choice but to lie on the bed bored, focusing on recalling the day's events.He thought of the faint scent of peppermint, it was like an imprint left in his mind, Gu Nuan couldn't forget it at all.

It is sweet.

Poor Gu Nuan, who was sent to a school full of Omega in high school, has not tasted this comforting Alpha pheromone for a long time.He became addicted by accident, and spent most of the night in bed reminiscing about it over and over again.

"So mint can be so sweet?"

"So this is the taste of brother's soothing pheromone?"

"It turns out...it can be used as a painkiller."

Gu Nuan murmured to herself, hugged the quilt and sniffed a couple of times.

Only the fragrance of laundry detergent...

Gu Nuan suddenly thought of changing the laundry detergent in the dormitory to mint-flavored laundry detergent, so he did what he said, turned on his mobile phone and placed an order for peppermint-flavored laundry detergent online, hoping to save him from freezing to death this winter.

In order to calm himself down as soon as possible, Gu Nuan logged in to the game that Su Yu asked him to download and played for a while.He doesn't like playing games, and he gets tired of it after playing a few rounds.

When Gu Nuan was about to go offline, he found that Su Fu was online.

Su Yu's ID in the game is: Youtiao dipped in soy milk.

Gu Nuan's ID in the game is: Strawberry Who Doesn't Stay Up All Night.

Fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk: [Surprised!Who did I meet! ]

Strawberries that don’t stay up late: […]

Strawberry who doesn't stay up late cooperates with him: [It's me!Contemporary game master! ]

Deep-fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk: [Bah, you are obviously a contemporary contestant who doesn't stay up all night——Student Gu Xiaonuan, is this lovesickness that makes you unable to sleep?How lucky I am to be able to meet you in the game at this point! ]

Su Yu is too high school two today, the drama is a little overdone.

Strawberry who doesn't stay up all night: [...Speak human. ]

Fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk: [Do you want to play a game? ]

Fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk: [Wait for me, I'll call my partner! ]

Gu Nuan:?

Fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk: [Unexpectedly, I got out of the order before you.You also know this person, he was the one who played ranked with us last time.Cough cough, it's colder, you should pay attention to talking less and operating more. ]

Gu Nuan's jaw was about to drop to the ground, he silently sent a row of question marks to Su Fu.

[Su Yu, you, are you dating online? ]

Gu Nuan, who was so frightened by Su Fu that he couldn't even play the game, quickly went offline. While he was worried about whether his love would go well, he also worried whether Su Fu would be cheated.

In the end, Su Wei told him to rest assured, saying that he had been playing games with this person for several years, and he could trust him.

The night in early autumn was a bit cold, Gu Nuan no longer bothered Su Yu to play games, and continued to suffer from insomnia.He checked tomorrow's class schedule, and there was no class in the morning, which relieved him of the stress he couldn't sleep.

He got up to drink water and found that the hot water in the thermos was cold.

Gu Nuan boiled a pot of water and turned on the light.The small dormitory was tidied by him. With the sound of the kettle and the soft colors of the lights, the cold room became a little gentler.

This single dormitory also has a very small balcony, too small for two adult Alphas to stand on, but you can clearly see the stars all over the sky outside the window.

Gu Nuan waited for the water to boil, made a cup of hot milk, held it in his hand, and went to the balcony to watch the stars.

He remembered the sunset that Han Yang took for him last time, and couldn't help taking out his phone to take a picture of the night sky tonight.He knew that Han Yang's phone was usually muted when he slept at night, so he sent the photo.

In less than half a minute, Han Yang replied the message.

Han Yang: [Why are you still awake? ]

Gu Nuan was taken aback, was scalded by the milk, hurriedly walked into the room, and replied with a voice: "I woke up and was drinking milk, but it burned me!"

Han Yang replied in seconds: [Are you all right? ]

Not a second after sending it, his call came again.Gu Nuan just washed her hands and picked up the phone, the voice on the other end was calm and clear, as deep as the night sky tonight.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Gu Nuan took a sip of milk, "Brother, did Dad give you the shrimp dumplings?"

"Shrimp dumplings?"

"Sure enough, Dad also forgot. That is very delicious, I packed it for you specially. But it doesn't matter, I will go there again in two days, if you are free, we will go together."

Gu Nuan opened his mouth and talked endlessly. He happily sat cross-legged on the bed, and before Han Yang could say anything, he asked, "Why are you up so late?"

Han Yang did not tell Gu Nuan that he suffered from insomnia because of what Ji Mu said during the day.Ji Mu would ask him that way, obviously seeing the thoughts he thought he had hidden well.

Han Yang took a deep breath uncontrollably, wiped his face in a self-deprecating manner, and gave a random reason: "I'm waiting for news."

"Is it news about the movie?" Gu Nuan became concerned, holding the phone and didn't want to put it down, "Why is your voice so muffled?"

"Well, maybe I'm a little anxious, I don't know." Han Yang clenched his fists, and the rough calluses on his palms were all left when he was working abroad.

In the past few years, he desperately wanted to be independent.Therefore, in those few years, he worked very hard and suffered a lot.

But Han Yang is not afraid of suffering, what he is afraid of is that he will gradually become fragile, unable to leave the warmth given by the Gu family, and gradually forget who he is and whose blood is flowing on his body.

He walked to the balcony, with the phone lightly pressed to his ear, he looked up at the night sky.Similar to what Gu Nuan sent, tomorrow should be a sunny day.

On the phone, Gu Nuan's voice was pleasant, and every word sound could soothe Han Yang's restless heart.

"Brother, don't worry, I think it must be you, after all, you act so well!"

"Ah."

"When I praise you, why don't you be more humble?"

"Okay, I'm humble."

Han Yang's voice was much gentler because of this.

After Gu Nuan made a joke, her tone softened: "Brother, even if you don't get selected this time, isn't there a next time? You have to believe that you are excellent, there will always be people who appreciate you. Last time I heard Brother Xia say , Didn't that senior named Lao Liang always want to sign you, which means he is optimistic about you. So...so don't stay up late, and get a good rest. Anyway, I will always support you, I..."

Having said that, Gu Nuan scratched her head shyly and pursed her lips: "I must be your first fan."

What's that word, diehard fan?

Gu Nuan doesn't know much about chasing stars, but he feels that he must be the first and the one who likes Han Yang the most.

In the long late night, no one will feel lonely with the affirmation and encouragement of those who are missed.

Han Yang's obscure mood was warmed by Gu Nuan, he laughed silently, the corners of his mouth were curved very nicely, but Gu Nuan couldn't see it, he could only hear him responding: "Okay."

Gu Nuan was surprised, he said a lot, but Han Yang only replied with one word.

Gu Nuan pursed her lips, picked at the quilt with her fingertips, thinking that Han Yang was probably sleepy because of what he said: "Are you sleepy? Go to sleep, I won't disturb you, I will come to play with you on weekends, Bring you delicious shrimp dumplings."

He was about to hang up when Han Yang stopped him.

"Gu Nuan."

"Ok?"

"I'm planning to sign a contract. It may be very busy recently. Don't be angry if the news is slow."

Han Yang didn't lie, he has other auditions and jobs recently, so he probably doesn't come home every day.Indeed, he needed to readjust his chaotic feelings.

To Gu Nuan, this news was like a bolt from the blue.

Han Yang really became half-disappeared.

For two full months, Han Yang was so busy that he had no time to look back at his villa, nor to meet Gu Nuan.Gu Nuan wanted to find him, but Han Yang was always away, and would always come back late at night, or arrive home early the next morning.

"Why do you have to pick nights every time you work? You can't have a good rest like this."

Gu Nuan and Su Yu met at a fried chicken restaurant, one of them never separated from their online dating partner, and the other never separated from each other because of Han Yang's hard work.

The two of them seem to be unable to talk together in the near future.

Su Wei thought he didn't understand anything: "They don't have fixed working hours in that circle, right? Besides, he's just a little-known little--a newcomer." He intentionally elongated the tone of the word "little" , "I have to cooperate with other people's time, who cares if he rests or not."

"..."

"Maybe I don't have time to eat, so I just eat those unpalatable boxed lunches." Su Wei is actually the one who doesn't understand anything. He always exaggerates, playing the game in his hand, and saying, "Wow! , What a pain."

The more Gu Nuan thought about it, the more distressed she became, and she got up and left: "I'll buy some delicious food for my brother and send it over."

Su Yu yelled from behind: "I'm kidding you! There are still two orders of fried chicken left!"

"Eat it all!" Gu Nuan looked at the time, it was already six o'clock in the evening.He sent a message to Han Yang and got a reply from Han Yang half an hour later.

[I probably won’t get home until around 12 o’clock in the evening today, so don’t come and find me. ]

Half a minute later, Han Yang sent another message to Gu Nuan: [The role has been confirmed, the filming will start next month, and my part can be filmed in one day. ]

After all, it's only less than 3 minutes, so it can't take up too much time of the crew.

Gu Nuan was so happy that she specially packed shrimp dumplings and some other dishes.Afterwards, he thought and thought, and felt that the celebration day would not be perfect without fried chicken, so he specially took a taxi back after nine o'clock in the evening, and packed a curry fried chicken to take with him.

This is Han Yang's favorite flavor.

When Gu Nuan arrived at Han Yang's rental house, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Today is Friday, Gu Nuan plans to take a taxi back to the villa to sleep after delivering food, regardless of the dormitory's access control time.He packed all the food in a newly bought thermal bag and placed it neatly at the door of the rental house.

He sent a message to Han Yang, but fearing that he might not see it, he wrote a note and pasted it on the door.

As soon as he finished writing, the elevator door behind him opened.

Han Yang is the only resident on this floor, and the rest are not rented out.

Gu Nuan turned her head excitedly, and saw that Xia Wei was helping the drowsy Han Yang to go out.

"Xiao Nuan?" Xia Ling was obviously not drunk, and said clearly, "It's so late, why are you here?"

"I'll give my brother something to eat."

"Then why didn't you bring it into the house? It's not safe to leave it at the door." Xia Wei said casually, "Come here and help."

Gu Nuan went up to help Xia Xiao hold Han Yang up, smelling a bit of alcohol, he asked with concern: "Why is my brother drunk? Have you gone drinking?"

"He may be too tired. He passed out after only a few drinks, and he was still in a deep sleep. I guess the role has been decided, and he was relieved." Xia Wei spoke in a loud voice, and did not wake Han up. Yang.

Gu Nuan touched Han Yang's face, afraid that Han Yang would be frozen, after all, it was already mid-November.He was just about to look for the key on Han Yang's body, when Xia Ling naturally took out a key from his trouser pocket and opened the door of the rental room.

Gu Nuan: "..."

Xia Ling: "Why are you looking at me like this?" He raised the key in his hand, and found that Gu Nuan was actually looking at the key, he wondered, "Don't you?"

Gu Nuan: "..."

Xia Yu felt as if she had asked the wrong question.

Gu Nuan looked envious and said sadly, "I don't have one."
