After being scumbag by my ex, I fell in love with his nemesis

For a moment, Jiang Ran's thoughts were paused.

Gu Cixin put his hand on the back of his neck, "Didn't I tell you that it's cold at night? Why don't you wear more clothes?"

There was a warm touch on the neck, Jiang Ran froze for a moment, "Well, it came in a hurry, I forgot."

Gu Cixin nodded and hummed.

The little boy on the side was stunned, his eyes were wide open, and the movements of his hands stopped.

"What's your number?" Gu Cixin asked.

The little boy blinked, "I...me? I am number 88...."

"Well, use this." Gu Cixin handed him another umbrella, and gently held Jiang Ran's with his free hand.

Before Jiang Ran could react, his whole hand was grabbed and stuffed into the opponent's coat pocket.

Then the hand didn't come out, but groped around, found his fingers, and clasped it tightly.

The daytime weather was fine today, he only wore a shirt when he went out, it would be really cold, but Gu Cixin's palms and coat were like a hot stove, making his cheeks hot.

Gu Cixin didn't wear a mask or a hat, and his handsome cheeks were half covered under the umbrella. To outsiders, they looked like a handsome and good-looking couple.

Instead of going through the main entrance, they entered the shopping mall through a hidden employee entrance, where there is a room for designers to rest.

Gu Cixin put him on the sofa before letting go, Jiang Ran couldn't help but clenched his fists.

A cup of hot water was handed to his eyes.

"Give."

Jiang Ran quickly took a sip, which made his eyelashes tremble twice.

Gu Cixin smiled, "I want you to warm up your hands first, they are too cold."

Jiang Ran closed her eyes, "Sorry."

"It's okay." Gu Cixin sat down, "Are you number 99?"

Jiang Ran looked down at the number plate that he had caught for a long time, and hummed.

"Okay, I'll let them pick it up for you."

"Ah...no." Jiang Ran said, "Just come normally."

"It's okay." Gu Cixin helped him gather his clothes, "There must be some privileges, ZC's offline sales process is cumbersome, and I don't want you to wait."

After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and made a call, "88 and 99, please take it out for me first, take 99 to the lounge, and 88 to the customer first, it's too cold outside, don't make the other party wait too long."

Jiang Ran quietly listened to him finish the phone call, turning the glass water glass several times in the palm of his hand, and his palm turned red from the heat.

Gu Cixin put away his phone, "Why do you want to buy this?"

"Well..." Jiang Ran's eyes were a little erratic, he hesitated for a while, and said, "I bought it as a birthday present for you."

Gu Cixin was taken aback.

"Line in line to buy it for me?"

Jiang Ran nodded, "Yes."

Gu Cixin reminded him, "It may take a long time to wait, and it's still raining outside."

Jiang Ran was startled, his ears turned red suddenly, and he pursed his lower lip, "I know, but it doesn't matter."

Gu Cixin smiled, raised his hand to hook off the backpack on the table, and pulled out a packing box from it---

Jiang Ran saw this box just now. It was the packaging of the latest keyboard. It was a dark green box with detailed pictures of the product on it. The smiling little yellow duck had a rose on its head.

He reached out to unpack the package, but suddenly he paused and handed the whole box to Jiang Ran, "Open it and have a look."

Jiang Ran paused and took it.

His fingers were slender and fair, and his unpacking movements were very gentle, completely different from the usual violent unpacking. Gu Cixin admired it very much.

It was a limited edition item, and the packaging was extremely luxurious. Jiang Ran took a long time to take it apart before taking out the keyboard. Inside was a set of three, keyboard, mouse and mat.

The keyboard is a green switch, with a strong sense of paragraph, small area, convenient and light, and can be used for playing games or for ordinary use.

"The texture is very good." Jiang Ran couldn't help but say.

He can see that this one is better than the one two years ago, and the material has also improved.

Gu Cixin said, "As long as you like it."

Suddenly there was movement at the door, it was the staff of ZC, who came to deliver the keyboard.

Gu Cixin thanked the staff, turned around and met Jiang Ran's gaze, "Here, my birthday present."

Jiang Ran suddenly felt a little lost, as if the dream he had planned for a long time had come to nothing, "You have one."

He paused, "Sorry, I made a mistake."

"No."

Jiang Ran raised his head.

"The limited edition is the limited edition. Even designers can only take one number."

Jiang Ran stared blankly, not quite understanding what he meant.

Gu Cixin turned the disassembled keyboard upside down and tapped the lower right corner, "The last one I got, No. 520, is for you, my little rose."

On the way back, Jiang Ran sat in the passenger seat.

The section of Science and Technology Plaza is bustling, and there are many intersections. When waiting for the traffic light, Gu Cixin turned his head and found that Jiang Ran was swiping his phone.

"Who are you chatting with?"

"Ah?" Jiang Ran came to his senses, "Well, just now, the little boy number 88, he asked me if you were cold, and said that the staff gave him the keyboard first, and said thank you very much."

"Yeah." Gu Cixin nodded, "What else did you say?"

Jiang Ran was stunned for a while.

He also asked if cold was his boyfriend.

"......there is none left."

Jiang Ran put away her mobile phone and was silent for a while, "You, why did you start being a designer?"

"When I was in high school." The red light jumped a few times and turned green. Gu Cixin said, "I wasn't originally a designer, but it was just a concept drawing. The ZC design department saw it on Weibo and came to talk to me. .”

He paused and said, "It's also for this reason that the school allowed me to go to the art department."

When Gu Cixin first came to the art department, he was curious about how the computer and art departments were so different, how the school leaders agreed to the other party's coming, and now he finally understands.

To continue this topic, it seems to be about why you came to the art department and so on, but Jiang Ran asked this question a long time ago, and on a rainy day after that, the other party also gave the answer.

The rain outside the window was pattering down the glass window, Jiang Ran didn't speak anymore.

Calm was restored in the car.

When they arrived at the school, the rain had lightened. Gu Cixin wanted to park the car and go back to the dormitory together with an umbrella, but thinking of Jiang Ran's cold fingers, he chose to park the car downstairs in the dormitory.

"Here's the umbrella, don't get drenched."

"No need." Jiang Ran said, "It's close, I'll run over."

"There are still in the car." Gu Cixin turned on the headlights, "Be obedient."

"..." Jiang Ran unbuttoned his seat belt slowly, and pressed his fingers on the backpack, "Keyboard, do you want it now? Although it seems a bit early..."

Gu Cixin smiled, "Is it early? Then don't give it to me, you can give it to me on my birthday."

After several days of rain in a row, it finally cleared up on Friday.

The rain in spring is like a thermometer, and the warmth will come after each scene.

"But you still need to bring some thick clothes. It's close to the mountains, and the temperature difference at night is big."

Jiang Ran nodded with a pen, "I'll take it all."

Gu Cixin glanced at his phone, "Zhou Yu took Lu Xingzhou to a shopping mall, what do you want?"

"Well..." Jiang Ran quickly wrote a few strokes, "It seems that there is nothing important."

Gu Cixin smiled and leaned over, "What are you writing?"

"Ah?" Jiang Ran raised her head and handed over the notebook in her hand, "I want to finish the homework left by Professor Zhou and hand it in on Monday."

Gu Cixin looked up at him, "I didn't write last night."

Jiang Ran's pen tip paused, "Last night...I was drawing."

"Drawing? Is there any homework for this recently?"

"Well...no." Jiang Ran finished writing the last stroke and took the notebook, "It's just that I received some private manuscripts on Weibo."

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to ask any more questions, he was very relieved.

There are a lot of people traveling on Friday, but fortunately their luggage was packed last night, and they can leave after class and pack their things.

Lu Xingzhou put the suitcase away, "Throw everything away in the trunk, let's drive two cars and go."

"Is one car not enough?"

"How could it be possible! I packed the entire trunk with food and drink, and you can put all the luggage here."

Gu Cixin nodded, "That's fine, pack it up and leave early."

Lu Xingzhou thoughtfully put water and food in the car to prevent them from getting hungry during the journey.

The hot spring is located in the city next door, with an elegant and quiet environment.Single courtyard, the first floor of the small villa is a small platform similar to a garden, which can be used for barbecue parties for tourists, and the back is an open-air hot spring, as well as some other equipment. There are entertainment facilities such as theaters and small pool tables on the second floor. is the room.

"It used to be quite barren here, but later it was developed into a hot spring villa, which is very suitable for home travel." Gu Cixin explained, "Many people like to come here, without being disturbed and having a good time."

Jiang Ran nodded. He really liked it. He wanted to try the hot springs a long time ago, but most of the hot springs in the city center are a bit Japanese-style. Everyone is crowded in a pool, with no privacy and too noisy.

More importantly, he is a bit of a clean freak, so he visited many houses and gave up.

But this one is different.

Zhou Yu came back after registering, collected the ingredients and planned to make a barbecue first.

Jiang Ran and Lu Xingzhou washed the fruits and vegetables, while Zhou Yu and Gu Cixin hung a small bib around their waists.

Lu Xingzhou came out with a lot of vegetables, and smiled when he saw the two of them, "I bought it specially, it looks good!"

Jiang Ran was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "It looks good."

Gu Cixin paused, put aside the expression of wanting to kill Lu Xingzhou, and turned to get the ingredients.

In fact, it's really not ugly. Seeing Gu Cixin's appearance, Jiang Ran is mostly handsome and indifferent. Putting on the bib today, he has a little cuteness that he didn't usually have.

Lu Xingzhou has a lot of research on food, and he buys a variety of fresh ingredients, not only seafood barbecue, but also some things suitable for soup.

"There is a kitchen on the first floor." Gu Cixin said, "Zhou Yu makes a barbecue, I'll make you some soup, what would you like to drink?"

Just as Jiang Ran was about to say yes, when Lu Xingzhou came back from a stroll outside, he just heard, "Oh! It's only for beauties, don't I have a share?!"

Gu Cixin raised his eyelids and said flatly, "Then don't drink it later."

"It's yours." Jiang Ran smiled and turned around, "It's okay."

It was just the four of them for dinner, there was nothing too particular about it, and it was served as soon as it was baked, and the cake ordered by the hotel was delivered in a timely manner.

"Today is a good day!" Lu Xingzhou opened a bottle of wine, "To celebrate the first birthday that Xiao Gu and I have known each other for nearly ten years!"

Zhou Yu took off his wine glass with a smile, "Drink less, so as not to be uncomfortable later."

"Oh, it's okay, I'm happy today, right! A gift!" Lu Xingzhou took the box from behind and handed it to Gu Cixin, "I can't open it now!"

"The earphones you took a fancy to last time." Zhou Yu: "Happy birthday, goodbye."

Both of their land houses were tightly wrapped. In comparison, the keyboard in Jiang Ran's hand was too obvious.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Or how can this be fate!" Lu Xingzhou sighed, "You can buy things from your own store when you buy gifts."

Gu Cixin: "..."

After dinner, Jiang Ran and Lu Xingzhou went to wash the dishes.

Kitchen tools are all available, even rubber gloves are prepared.

Jiang Ran wiped the bowl clean, remembered what Lu Xingzhou said during the meal, and pursed her lips, "Did you guys live like this before, on your birthday?"

Lu Xingzhou was squeezing out dish soap, he was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and looked, and made sure that only the two of them spoke in the kitchen, "That's not it."

"In the past, Xiao Gu was very withdrawn. Even if it was us, we couldn't get too close. Combined junior and senior high schools, it would only be six birthdays, but there was never one time. We are like today."

Jiang Ran was startled, "Then he is with his family?"

"Probably not." Lu Xingzhou said in a low voice, "I don't know the details, but as long as it's his birthday, he will be very unhappy. It feels like there is a grudge against him on this day."

There was a movement from the kitchen door, Lu Xingzhou immediately touched his arm and honestly washed the dishes.

"finished Wash?"

Jiang Ran wiped her hands clean and nodded.

"There's soup, would you like some?" Gu Cixin took a clean bowl, "I just saw that you didn't eat much."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Xingzhou's back and said, "Are you speaking ill of me?"

Lu Xingzhou immediately turned around, with a smirk on his face, "No!"

Gu Cixin: "..."

"Go call Zhou Yu, cuttlefish spare ribs, you guys like it."

Lu Xingzhou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "OKOK!"

When passing by Gu Cixin, he paused and whispered, "I have prepared a surprise for you tonight, enjoy it."

It wasn't until he entered the room at night that he realized what the surprise Lu Xingzhou was talking about.

Although the villa is large, there are only two rooms.

However, there is only one bed in these two big rooms.

Jiang Ran froze at the door with the suitcase in his hand.

"You stay here, and I'll get another room." After he finished speaking, he was about to go downstairs after taking his luggage, but someone grabbed his wrist.

Jiang Ran was silent for a long time before saying, "Forget it."

"Here... are all single courtyards, there should be no separate rooms."

Gu Cixin hummed, "Then I'll make do with the sofa at the front desk for the night."

It doesn't make sense to let the birthday star go to sleep on the street. It doesn't make sense where to put it. Jiang Ran made a little effort, "It's okay, let's squeeze."

The room is very spacious, with two-person computers and online games. There is also a single-person bathtub in the bathroom, a wardrobe built into the wall, clean towels and bathrobes, and a thick carpet on the floor.

Jiang Ran came out of the shower, and Gu Cixin was standing on the bedside with his back to him, next to Lu Xingzhou's gift box, the ribbon on the box was scattered aside.

"Are you opening presents?"

"En." Gu Cixin put the things in his hand back into the gift box, and threw them into the closet.

He turned around, "Go to bed early today?"

Jiang Ran nodded.

"That's good." Gu Cixin took a new towel and a change of clothes, "I'm going to take a shower."

The bathroom has its own exhaust system, but the heat has not yet dissipated, and there is a unique sweet smell of omega hidden in the humid air, which is subtle and ambiguous.

Gu Cixin paused, his eyes were red with desire, and couldn't help but surge out again.

When he came out, Jiang Ran was sitting on the bed reading a book. Seeing him coming out, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand.

Gu Cixin didn't say anything, he went straight to the hair dryer, and dried his hair in two or three strokes.

After tidying himself up, he walked to the closet and took out two quilts.

Then he pointed to the carpet next to the big bed, "I sleep here."

He didn't wait for Jiang Ran to react, so he turned off the overhead light and lay down.

There is a small warm yellow desk lamp on the bedside, which is very suitable for reading books or mobile phones.

He closed his eyes, and the whole world fell into blackness, but his other senses became more sensitive at the same time.

The night wind in the mountains, the moonlight on the eyelids, the touch of the quilt in the palm, and the slight scent of roses in the bathroom.

After a while, he heard a crisp "click" on the head of the bed, followed by a slight rubbing sound of the quilt. These sounds are actually very common in the dormitory. After all, there are many sounds in the dormitory of boys, but Gu Cixin But rarely get a chance to hear it.

When he was in high school, his parents were busy with family affairs, and once proposed to let him live in school, but he refused.

Loneliness and indifference have always been synonymous with him, and everyone who comes into contact with him also evaluates him in the same way, but after thinking about it, it is actually not.

He just pretended to be someone in his heart, full of it, and when he met someone else, he always felt that everything was missing.

Jiang Ran turned off the light and lay down, but unexpectedly, her heart was not calm.

A clock was hung on the wall, and I glanced at it with the faint light. It was not long before dawn.

Today is going to pass, and tomorrow is coming. There seem to be many people's birthdays, and they happen every year.

But if you count it carefully, there are only 24 hours in a year.

After being silent for a while, Jiang Ran opened his mouth slightly.

"Gu Cixin?"

The other party obviously didn't sleep, and responded to him with an "um".

"I think there's one more thing I haven't said to you."

Gu Cixin asked, "What is it?"

"Happy birthday."

He paused, "Isn't it a bit late?"

It was only a few minutes before morning.

The people around him smiled lightly, "It's not too late, this is the happiest birthday I've ever had."

"Ah That's good."

The small courtyard was surrounded by mountains, and the temperature was very low at night. Jiang Ran was wearing long sleeves, with one arm hanging outside. After a while, he felt the chill invade his body.

He touched his arm and said unconsciously, "Gu Cixin?"

"what happened?"

After these words, the speaker suddenly became silent. Gu Cixin closed his eyes for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and opened his eyes.

The curtains in the room were not drawn tightly, and through the transparent window glass, you could still see the bright moon outside.

The scenery outside seemed beautiful, and the room was quiet, but chatter and laughter came from the yard on the first floor, which should be Lu Xingzhou and Zhou Yu.

For a moment, Gu Cixin felt that everything was completely silent, and there was nothing left. After this illusion disappeared, he seemed to be able to hear the breathing of the people around him, which was steady and long.

He turned his head and saw the other party's blurred lines hidden in the moonlight.

I don't know how long I stared at it until the person on the bed moved, followed by a sound like a breeze, which made my heart itch.

His voice is very soft, coaxing

"Is it cold? Do you want to... come up and sleep."
