kiss you while drunk

There is an 8-hour time difference between Jiang Xinran and Gu Ruo. Every day when Jiang Xinran is lying on the bed and preparing to go to bed, Gu Ruo is at the busiest time in the afternoon—Gu Ruo is actually on a business trip to Country Y this time, and he has to go back to the head office to report on his work. There are meetings and business banquets every day, and the bustle is even worse than that in Linyuan.

So in order to be able to talk to Gu Ruo every day via video, Jiang Xinran kept his eyelids open until late at night, waiting for Gu Ruo to get off work.

Gu Ruo saw Jiang Xinran's dark circles in the video a few times, felt distressed, and advised her to go to bed early, Jiang Xinran smiled and said: "You have always accommodated me, and I should accommodate you once, and it won't be long, you still have 20 days It's time to come back."

She was determined, and Gu Ruo was not in Linyuan, so she couldn't pressure her to sleep. If the discussion continued, maybe both parties would be unhappy, so they had to let her go.

About going to country Y to study abroad, Jiang Xinran never told Gu Ruo. She wanted to tell her on the phone several times, but hesitated and didn’t know how to open her mouth, so she was delayed. After several times, Jiang Xinran thought, this matter I couldn't make it clear on the phone for a while, so it's better to wait for Gu Ruo to come back and say it face to face.

As Christmas Eve approached, Gu Ruo finally got some free time, and the video call with Jiang Xinran was a few hours earlier every day. Jiang Xinran often lay in bed an hour or two before going to bed to make video calls to her. Gu Ruo answered, and the two had a chat. Chatting with each other, talking and talking, Jiang Xinran fell asleep, left the phone beside the bed, and forgot to hang up.

At this time, Gu Ruo didn't take the initiative to hang up, turned on the hands-free phone, put it aside, and listened to Jiang Xinran's light breathing while sleeping while doing his own things.

What does it sound like when a person sleeps?Zuo is just boring, but Gu Ruo wears earphones, but listens with gusto, and occasionally catches Jiang Xinran's sleep talk, and nine out of ten sentences are shouted "Ruo Ruo", scratching Gu Ruo's ears, I wish I could fly back to Linyuan now, and hug Jiang Xinran to feel the pain.

Christmas is a traditional festival of country Y, but it is an imported product for Linyuan. However, all "foreign festivals" are the favorite shopping festivals of merchants. Big speakers with discounts and promotions are all over the street, and the festive atmosphere is also strong.

Jiang Xinran spends Christmas alone, and Gu Ruo spends Christmas with a whole family of strangers. It's hard to say which is worse.

Gu Heyuan's seniority and inferiority are not so clear, a long table, Gu Heyuan likes and respects him to be closer to him, but Gu Ruoyuan doesn't like Gu Heyuan, but he thinks highly of him, so he sits next to him. On the left hand side, and on the right hand side is his most beloved little daughter named Gu Qiong.

Gu Qiong is five years younger than Gu Ruo. He is only in his early twenties this year. He is young and energetic. Probably secretly instigated by her mother, she wholeheartedly regards Gu Ruo as her biggest competitor, the one who will rob her of the Gu family in the future. .

Gu Ruoze didn't take her seriously at all, his expression was as cold as ever, and he didn't even bother to give her a straight look.

At the Gu family's dining table, the dishes are rich and the atmosphere is weird. Although Gu Ruo is unwilling to accompany Gu Heyuan to make a good face, Gu Heyuan has many children, and many of them have good eyesight. If you say something to each other, it will stir up the topic On the surface, it looks lively and lively, the father is kind and the son is filial, and the fun is harmonious.

Gu Heyuan laughed until he couldn't close his mouth, Gu Ruo watched his nose, nose and heart, and felt noisy.

While suffering, Gu Ruo's cell phone on the table vibrated. She glanced at it, and the caller ID was Jiang Xinran. There was a trace of tenderness in her eyes. She put down the knife and fork, and picked up the cell phone.

She hesitated for a second, then looked at Gu Heyuan, who knew that Gu Heyuan was also looking at her.

Gu Heyuan had discovered early on that this cold-faced and cold-hearted daughter seemed to have changed. The thorns all over her body were not as hard as before, and her eyes were more human than before. He guessed that Gu Ruoding had someone he liked. He knew it must be his daughter's mysterious lover, so when Gu Ruo looked over, he immediately waved his hand and said with a loud smile: "It's okay, my old man doesn't need you young people to accompany him, Ah Ruo, it's important that you answer the phone."

Gu Ruo didn't refuse, but nodded and said, "Father, I'll excuse you first." He immediately got up and left the table.

During the dinner, the rest of the brothers and sisters were dissatisfied with her arrogant attitude, but since Gu Heyuan had spoken, no matter how much they complained, they could only swallow their complaints and accompany them with smiling faces.

Not long after Gu Ruo left, Gu Heyuan smiled again: "Okay, today is the holiday, I know you must have your own little date, let's break up, go spend the holiday with the person you like."

The annual family dinner is over.

The Gu family has been cultivating country Y for many years, and has become accustomed to a westernized lifestyle. A few generations ago, New Year's Eve is not celebrated, only Christmas is celebrated.

In Gu Ruo's heart, this kind of superficially friendly Christmas is just a task to deal with. The real reunion, of course, must be accompanied by Jiang Xinran's warm New Year's Eve, which is called consummation.

After Gu Ruo left the table, she walked out of the restaurant, walked to the garden, leaned against a stone pillar in the corridor, and took Jiang Xinran's video.

The Gu family is extravagant and pays attention to ostentation. The garden is brightly lit at night, shining extremely brightly. Gu Ruo is not afraid that Jiang Xinran will not be able to see his face clearly.

As soon as the video was connected, Jiang Xinran appeared on the screen and said with a smile, "Ruoruo, Merry Christmas."

She wore a red and white knitted cardigan according to the occasion, and a deer antler headband on her head. With crooked eyes, she smiled into Gu Ruo's heart.

Gu Ruo unconsciously burst into a smile, and the boredom in the restaurant before was swept away, "Merry Christmas."

"Hey, see if the headband I'm wearing looks good?" Jiang Xinran leaned in front of the camera, and pointed to Gu Ruo the antlers on her head like a treasure, for fear that she would overlook it.

Gu Ruo curled her lips and said softly, "It's pretty."

"I bought this specially. I thought that although I can't go to country Y with you, I must spend Christmas with you. It should be suitable for the occasion. Life needs a sense of ritual, otherwise it will be boring."

Every word Jiang Xinran said could penetrate Gu Ruo's heart. She looked more lively and cute wearing an antler headband than usual. She really looked like a young elk who had just cultivated into adulthood. Her two dark eyes were dripping. Turning around, Gu Ruo wanted to hug her directly from the screen, hug her on his lap, and touch her little antlers.

"Ruoruo, are you going to have a big meal at home today? Is the food from country Y delicious? Come on and tell me." Jiang Xinran said again.

Gu Ruo sighed, supported her head, half concealed her disgust, and teased, "It's far worse than Linyuan, I just want to eat a bowl of clear soup noodles made by you."

Jiang Xinran's face turned red.

Jiang Xinran is a person who knows nothing about cooking, and can only cook some simple noodles in clear soup or plain porridge. Gu Ruo said that the Christmas dinner is not as good as the clear water noodles she made, so it sounds like she is teasing her.

"Are you making fun of me?" Jiang Xinran squinted.

Gu Ruo laughed harder, "I'm serious."

If the group of people who had already dispersed in the restaurant saw Gu Ruo's expression, they would definitely be surprised!Is this still the cold-faced and cold-hearted woman in their impression?There are times when she smiles so heartily?Maybe the person on the other side of the phone is a witch who cast a spell to melt the iceberg.

"What about you? Are the experimental results satisfactory? When will the paper be published?" Gu Ruo leaned on the stone pillars in the garden, took the phone in another hand, and looked up at the sky.

Although the night in country Y is also full of stars, compared to the starry sky that Jiang Xinran and I saw at the seaside before, it is always a little less interesting, just like cooking without salt.

"Me?" Jiang Xinran was stopped by her question, thinking that he hadn't told Gu Ruo about studying abroad, as if he was guilty of guilt, his eyes flickered a few times, and he smiled dryly: "I'm fine, Ruoruo, you can rest assured over there Stay for a few days, don't worry about me."

Gu Ruo's understanding of her had already been engraved in his bones, and when he heard something wrong with a word, his heart sank.

She kept silent, stared at Jiang Xinran on the screen strangely, looked at it for a while, pretended not to know anything, nodded and said: "That's good."

"I... I won't tell you anymore." Jiang Xinran was not ready to speak to Gu Ruo, and under nervousness, she bit the bullet and found an excuse to hang up the phone.

Before hanging up, she kissed Gu Ruo in front of the camera.

Gu Ruo smiled slightly, and pouted her lips slightly to respond to her, but her worries about Jiang Xinran grew deeper in her heart.

Jiang Xinran thought about Gu Ruo, and there must be some difficulties that he didn't want Gu Ruo to worry about, so he kept it a secret.

There was nothing to ask over the phone, so Gu Ruo decided to finish the business affairs in country Y as soon as possible, and return to Linyuan as soon as possible.

Putting away the phone, the smile on his face hadn't faded, and he was about to walk back when he saw a person standing there at the end of the corridor.

The children of the Gu family all have good genes, no matter male or female, they are all beautiful, the one standing at the end of the corridor, with red lips and white teeth, black hair and snow skin, not inferior to Gu Ruo in terms of appearance, but also a little more arrogant than Gu Ruo.

That person was Gu Qiong, Gu Ruo's younger sister by blood.

Gu Ruo is very cold-blooded and indifferent to everyone except Jiang Xinran, and he can calmly pretend not to see Gu Qiong even if he looks at him squarely, and leaves without saying hello, without embarrassment at all.

When he walked to Gu Qiong's side, he was stopped, "Hello."

Gu Ruo turned a deaf ear and continued on.

Gu Qiong became anxious, gritted his teeth and stood in front of her, and asked her: "You are now living in Linyuan, right?"

Gu Ruo raised her eyelids and looked cold.

Gu Qiong said again: "I heard that the Gu family maintains a deep cooperative relationship with various colleges and universities in Linyuan. Have you ever been to Linyuan Normal University?"

Gu Ruo still didn't answer.

Gu Qiong gritted his teeth, and bowed his head to beg her: "Help me investigate a person, and if you find something good, you can speak up."

Gu Ruo stared coldly for a long time, and said only two words: "Get out of the way."

In the past, she would only have one word: get lost.

But Jiang Xinran didn't like her saying this word, so Gu Ruo had no choice but to change it to a less aggressive way of saying it.

Gu Qiong was brought up pampered by Gu Heyuan and used to being domineering, who would dare to speak coldly to her?So Gu Ruo stepped aside without emotion, which made her a little confused. When she realized it, Gu Ruo had already walked a long way.

Gu Qiong's face flushed immediately, he held his breath, and did not want to ask Gu Ruo a second time.

……

Gu Ruo can't come back until after New Year's Day, Jiang Xinran misses her, but fortunately, he can watch the video every day, which can temporarily relieve the pain of lovesickness.

This year's New Year's Day falls on Monday, and last weekend, we have a three-day holiday together. However, this year the lab is understaffed and there is a lot of work. Jiang Xinran is afraid that he will not be able to finish the work before the end of the term. He has to catch up with the schedule, so he has no vacation and spends three days in the experiment. room.

Anyway, if Gu Ruo wasn't there, he would be alone when he went back, so it would be better to stay busy in the laboratory, and the time would pass faster.

On New Year's Day, Jiang Xinran was sitting by the laboratory table with her eyes on the microscope when she received a text message on her mobile phone: "Hello, dear Ms. Jiang, you have a package that has been delivered to the laboratory building of Linyuan University for you. Please come and sign for it quickly."

pack?Jiang Xinran recalled that she didn't seem to buy anything recently?

Thinking that today is New Year's Day, maybe Gu Ruo ordered her a gift in advance and wanted to surprise her.

Jiang Xinran was looking forward to it, and thought awkwardly, this Gu Ruo is getting better and better, and he is no longer the same as before. He couldn't hide his excitement, so he hurried downstairs to get it, and he didn't even have time to take off his white coat.

I went down to the first floor and searched around, but found no one. I went to the entrance of the hall and asked the staff in the duty room next to me, "Hello, teacher, is there a courier here to drop a package?"

"Yes, it was sent to Jiang Xinran, right?" The middle-aged woman in the duty room asked back.

"Yep!"

The middle-aged woman showed a strange smile, "That thing is too big and expensive. I put it in the storage room at the back for you. Go and get it yourself. You can see it by pushing the door."

"Thank you!" Jiang Xinran was overjoyed and walked into the back storage room.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a white hand stretched out from the storage room, grabbed her unexpectedly, walked in, then quickly closed the door, surrounding her and pressing against the door panel.

Immediately, Jiang Xinran felt the moisture in his ears, and Gu Ruo's low-pitched laughter entered his ears:

"Did you miss me?"
