◎You can sleep in my bed◎

But the earpiece was so quiet that even the sound of breathing seemed to have stopped.

Gu Zang understood that Jiang Zaiyu was awake and heard these words.

She thought for a while, put her hand on her left chest, covered her beating heart, and tried to keep her voice as quiet as possible, "Zai Yu."

There was no sound.

Gu Zang raised his eyebrows, "This time it doesn't count, when I go back... I will give you a formal confession."

"Don't be afraid." Gu Zang smiled, "Since I've already frightened the snake, then you can use these few days to make good preparations."

She paused, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, if you don't want to, I won't say anything."

Jiang Zaiyu suddenly heard a sound, accompanied by the ambient sound of picking up the mobile phone, the voice was small, and he faltered and said, "No, I'm not afraid, I... I ...I'll hang up first, you...you come back early."

"I have something to say, too. I have something to tell you."

Jiang Zaiyu finished speaking intermittently, and stopped for an unknown number of times, and finally said good night in a panic, and then fell silent again, only a slightly rapid and tense breathing came over.

"Don't you want to hang up?" Gu Zang's lips curled up, and he said softly, "Why don't you hang up?"

Jiang Zaiyu's breathing paused, and after a while he said in an uncomfortable tone, "I don't want to hang up."

"I want to coax you to sleep, so I hang up."

Gu Zang was stunned for a few seconds, then he reacted and smiled, "Okay, then coax."

"What are you coaxing?"

"Didn't you say you were going to coax me to sleep?"

"Oh, let me tell you the story of the three little pigs."

"I told you."

"The grapes and the princess..."

"I told you."

"It's over, I have no more stories to tell."

"Zai Yu~" Gu Zang smiled and turned over on the bed, "Don't panic, if there is nothing to say, we can stop talking. Don't worry, I'm not afraid of embarrassment, even if I said something just now, As long as you open your eyes tomorrow, I will still say good morning to you, show you the scenery here, tell you how boring the forum meeting is, and tell you how bad my breakfast is."

"You can pretend that you didn't hear it just now, and I can pretend that I didn't say it just now." She paused, raising her eyebrows, "Of course, it's okay if you can't."

"What I want to say is that you can still treat me normally. I'm fine, and I won't be embarrassed. You can hang up the phone or talk again, whatever you want."

Gu Zang talked a lot in this passage, and he spoke slowly, with a very soft voice. After he finished speaking, Jiang Zaiyu's breathing became much more gentle, as if he was relieved, and the sound that came from him finally became louder. , It's no longer like the look you didn't dare to show just now.

"Then let's talk again?" Jiang Zaiyu took a few breaths, and after a while his voice was a little nasal, soft and milky.

It sounded like she just cried.

Gu Zang held his breath calmly, clenched the phone with his fingertips, "Okay~"

After she finished this sentence, she didn't know what to say. Why did Jiang Zaiyu cry? Maybe she was too anxious, and she should wait.

Gu Zang closed his eyelids, paused, and when he was about to speak again, he was interrupted by the voice over there.

"Gu Zang~" Jiang Zaiyu sniffled, "You can read me anything you want, books or stories. I... just want to talk again. But... I don't have enough stories for myself , now there is no story to tell."

Gu Zang was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and responded with a warm voice, "Okay~"

"Then I'll read you poems? I happened to bring a collection of poems, Borges's."

"Alright." Jiang Zaiyu seemed to turn over, "Wait a minute, I'll make preparations."

"What to prepare?"

As soon as Gu Zang finished speaking, he heard his own echo from over there. Jiang Zaiyu seemed to have connected his mobile phone to a Bluetooth speaker, so there was still an echo.

"Okay~" Jiang stopped his rustling voice on Yu's side, and replied softly.

Gu Zang cleared his throat, "Then I'll start."

She flipped through one of her favorite poems, "What Can I Do to Keep You, Borges."

"I give you the thin street, the desperate sunset, the moon in the wilderness..." (Mark 1)

Gu Zang read it word by word. She really didn't have any emotion when she recited poems, but it was better than the standard of Mandarin. When she read it slowly and gently, she even felt a sense of eloquence.

Jiang Zaiyu listened quietly over there, not knowing when his breathing became lighter, slower, and steady.

As Gu Zang was reading, she also felt sleepy. She finished reading the last song, closed the book, and said softly, "Good night," with the softest voice, in order not to wake Jiang Zaiyu up again.

Strangely, she had a dreamless night and slept well.

Early the next morning, Gu Zang went downstairs to have breakfast with Meng Zhou and Zhou Chuan.

She was going to attend the opening ceremony at nine o'clock, so she got up early and went downstairs to have breakfast at eight o'clock, but Jiang Zaiyu seemed to have woken up early, and sent a video of the start of work early.

Gu Zang took a photo of his breakfast and sent it, which was steamed buns and soy milk, but Jiang Zaiyu had already started filming, so he didn't come back.

As soon as she put down her phone, she met the strange eyes of Meng Zhou and Zhou Chuan, but she glanced at her lightly and then withdrew her eyes, "The finished paper materials have been sent to the group. There are papers mentioned in the conference catalogue, as well as the latest achievements of each speaker."

Mengzhou quickly swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, and gave her a thumbs up, "I knew that, with Junior Sister Gu here, I don't have to worry about anything. Senior brother is very grateful!"

"Thank you." Zhou Chuan was not as exaggerated as Mengzhou, but he also smiled, and began to sigh sincerely, "In this world, there should be no such thoughtful and caring person as Junior Sister Gu."

"Thoughtful and careful!" Mengzhou widened his eyes and patted Zhou Chuan's head, "This is called perfection."

Zhou Chuan was suddenly slapped by Mengzhou. He adjusted his glasses, squinted his eyes, and slapped the back of Mengzhou's head hard a few times, "Yes, yes, perfect, just like your perfect back of the head."

Gu Zang ignored the two of them, and ate breakfast by himself, and waited for the two of them to stop arguing before opening his mouth, "It's a little effort, the two brothers don't need to care so much."

"Yes, yes." Mengzhou nodded quickly, "I know that Junior Sister Gu is in a good mood today, but I still want to say thank you."

"In a good mood?" Gu Zang raised his head, "How did you tell?"

The corners of Zhou Chuan and Mengzhou's mouths twitched a few times at the same time, they laughed dryly a few times, and patted their thighs again.

"You don't need to look at it, it's on your face, Junior Sister Gu, you're smiling like a flower today~" Mengzhou buried his head in cooking.

"Well, the words are not rough." Zhou Chuan also echoed, "I have never seen so many smiles on your face on weekdays, but when you woke up this morning, the corners of your mouth didn't seem to let go."

Gu Zang didn't think she was so obvious, but since both of them found out, she explained by the way, "Probably, go back soon."

"Going back soon?" Mengzhou looked up, confused, "But we just came yesterday, and this forum hasn't started yet."

"That's right." Gu Zang smiled, "But it's one day closer to the date of going back."

Gu Zang came down from a meeting all day, and returned to the hotel after eight o'clock but did not wait for Jiang Zaiyu's reply.

Maybe it was because he was busy with filming, but Gu Zang always felt something was wrong.

She thought about it, and opened the chat box with Xiao Zheng. Since the last oolong incident, she asked Jiang Zaiyu for Xiao Zheng's WeChat in the past two days, and this was the first chat.

Xiao Zheng replied quickly: "Ms. Jiang is filming~ Dr. Gu, do you have something to tell / wave"

"No, it's fine if you're filming."

She went back, and Xiao Zheng replied with an emoji, without saying anything

Gu Zang put the phone aside, since he confirmed that Jiang Zaiyu is filming now, then it's fine.

She put on her glasses, turned on the computer, and prepared for tomorrow's speech with peace of mind.

It was almost twelve o'clock in the evening when Jiang Zaiyu called, his voice was a little tired, but he still called her name in a light tone, "Gu Zang, I'm home now, I'm lying down, I'm a little tired, just go Thinking of lying in bed first and calling you back."

"It's okay." Gu Zang replied, "Then do you want to go to bed early today?"

"No, although I'm tired, I still can't sleep." Jiang Zaiyu's voice subconsciously softened, "What did you do today?"

Gu Zang closed the computer, leaned his head back on the armchair, "I just had a meeting all day, it was boring, I had nothing to say, and the food I ate at noon and night was not tasty, it didn't suit my taste."

"Then I have been sorting out tomorrow's speech after I came back. The content is a bit too much, and I practiced it a few times."

Jiang Zaiyuan listened quietly, and when Gu Zang finished speaking, he laughed crisply and sweetly, "We, Dr. Gu, will have a day when we find studying boring."

"When I was in high school, I felt that you had nothing but study in your heart."

The corners of Gu Zang's lips curled up, "How could it be possible for someone to love studying sincerely, just love the benefits that learning brings to oneself."

"That's right." Jiang Zaiyu replied, "When did you fall asleep yesterday? Did you sleep well?"

Gu Zang thought for a while, and answered Jiang Zaiyu seriously, "Probably not long after you fell asleep, and you slept pretty well."

"Didn't you lie to me?" Jiang Zaiyu's voice was full of doubts, "If you deliberately lied to me in order not to make me worry... I will be angry."

"I didn't lie to you." Gu Zang whispered, got up from the chair, and poured himself a glass of water, "What about you? Did you sleep well?"

Jiang Zaiyu paused for a while before answering in a dragged tone, "I slept well at first. You know me, I don't like studying, so it's easy to fall asleep after listening to these."

"But?" Gu Zang drank his saliva and asked back.

"But..." Jiang Zaiyu sighed, turned over, and said in a low voice, "I woke up for some reason later, and I don't know why. Gu Zang, do you not come back until the day after tomorrow?"

Gu Zang paused when he put down the cup, and his throat moved slightly, "Yes, the meeting will be finished in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and the plane will be in the evening."

"Okay, I got it." Jiang Zaiyu replied sullenly, and the latter sentence "I got it" returned to his normal tone.

Gu Zang put the cup on the table and made a dull sound. She paused for a few seconds and said, "Zayu, if you want, you can sleep with me tonight."

"Maybe I can sleep better." She added, "The soundproof wall in my bedroom is better, so I can't hear those noises, and then I have a wooden bed, which is better for sleep."

The sound of breathing on the phone paused for a few seconds, and after a while, a soft voice came over, "My bed is not a wooden bed, and the sound insulation in the bedroom is not good, no wonder."

Gu Zang raised the corners of his lips knowingly, "Then you go to sleep with me, anyway, you have the key."

"Okay." Jiang Zaiyu uncommonly did not hesitate, and simply agreed, the movement of turning the quilt became louder and farther away, "Then I'll take the quilt and everything, so as not to get you dirty. "

"No, I don't despise you." Gu Zang replied, thinking that if you go with the quilt, it won't have the effect.

Jiang Zaiyu's movement stopped for a while, and after a while, his voice came closer to the receiver, "Well, you said that you don't dislike me, and don't blame me if it gets dirty."

"You're not dirty, how can you be blamed?" Gu Zang raised the corners of his lips.

"Then I'll hang up first, and I'll call you when I get to your room."

"it is good."

After Jiang Zaiyu hung up the phone, Gu Zang packed up the materials that he would use tomorrow, washed up and lay down on the bed, waiting for Jiang Zaiyu's call.

Not long after, Jiang Zaiyu called.

As soon as Gu Zang connected, he heard Jiang Zaiyu's clear and clear voice, with some noises of turning over the quilt, "Gu Zang, your bed is so comfortable, much more comfortable than mine."

Gu Zang subconsciously clenched his phone tightly, pursed his lips, "When I go back, I'll buy you one of the same model."

In fact, she wanted to say, you can always sleep on my bed.

But after thinking about it, it's still not suitable for her to say such words.

"You can spray some sleep aid fragrance on it. My mattress is also a sleep aid. If you find it useful tonight, I will come back and get you a set."

"Okay~ I won't be polite to the rich second generation who owns a winery." Jiang Zaiyu joked with a smile.

Gu Zang also smiled, "Okay."

The atmosphere became quiet again, only the two of them breathing quietly.

Gu Zang coughed lightly, "Zai Yu, have you seen the storage box next to my bed?"

"I see." Jiang Zaiyu replied cautiously.

"If you're curious..." Gu Zang paused, "You can open it and have a look."

"No!" Jiang Zaiyu refused and said righteously, "How can you sneak through the master's things while the master is not around? I am not such a person, Gu Zang, shut up."

Gu Zang frowned, "But you slept in her bed while the master was away."

"That's different..." Jiang Zaiyu's voice weakened, "Didn't the owner of the bed invite me personally?"

"Why is it different? The owner personally invited you to open the storage box." Gu Zang was in a relaxed mood, "However, it's up to you. If you are curious, you can open it at any time."

"Let's talk about it." Jiang Zaiyu replied vaguely, and then he seemed to think of something, raising his tone, "You will speak tomorrow, and I just can't sleep, so you read to me your speech tomorrow." Well, I can help you practice."

Gu Zang was stunned for a few seconds. He didn't expect Jiang Zaiyu to mention this matter, but since it was mentioned, she naturally responded, "Okay, I'll look for it and read it to you."

"Yeah, I'm listening." Jiang Zaiyu relaxed under the quilt, waiting with concern for Gu Zang to start reading his speech.

"Then I'll start." Gu Zang cleared his throat over there, his voice was clear and pleasant, and it came out from the connected Bluetooth speaker, softly,

"Dear teachers and students, hello everyone, I am Gu Zang from University of Agricultural Science and Technology..."

When Gu Zang recited something, he was always serious, with a correct tone, with a taste of intellectuals.

But Jiang Zaiyu liked this kind of tone very much. She heard Gu Zang's voice, smelled Gu Zang's smell from the surroundings, stared at the ceiling without blinking, and recalled involuntarily in her mind, When Gu Zang used to speak under the national flag.

Raising the national flag on Monday is a ceremony that can only be carried out when it does not rain. Therefore, her scattered memories are always accompanied by the warm sun, sprinkled on the flag-raising platform, on the shoulders of the surrounding students and on the back of the school uniform. superior.

She is tall and always stands in the last row, but her height advantage still brings her a wide field of vision.

The moment she arrived at the playground, she could always find Gu Zang standing in front of him with a straight back and neatly dressed school uniform without any wrinkles. Wearing a white shirt with a narrow collar and the top button, wrapped around a slender and slender white neck, shining brightly in the sun.

The high ponytail will slowly rippling with the breeze, the plump and smooth forehead and superior and exquisite appearance will always attract her attention, and the voice coming from the school's inferior microphone with extremely poor sound collection effect, biting words Clear, word for word, melodious and pleasant.

Jiang Zaiyu was particularly impressed by Gu Zang who was speaking under the national flag, because this was one of the few moments when she could unscrupulously cast her gaze on Gu Zang without restraint.

But that was the gleaming Gu Zang, so it was destined that she would not be the only one to look at Gu Zang.

And Jin Xiaqiu.Perhaps Jin Xiaqiu wasn't the only one, but Jin Xiaqiu was indeed the most conspicuous and exaggerated one before.

Jin Xiaqiu can go directly to their class and tell Gu Zang that she likes it. Jin Xiaqiu can say that she likes it loudly at the flag-raising ceremony, and then stick out her tongue and say it as a joke. Restrained, talking about his liking for Gu Zang.

And like many others, she could only silently watch Gu Zang on the stage at such a moment, retracting the gaze she had accidentally revealed, keeping it in her heart, and not revealing it at all.

Although Jin Xiaqiu's liking in words and liking in actions are very different.But it is undeniable that Jiang Zaiyu envied Jin Xiaqiu for a while, envied Jin Xiaqiu's love that he could say out loud.She felt that she would never be able to be as brave as this.

But now she was listening to Gu Zang's voice softly reading the speech beside her ear, it was very close, as if it was speaking close to her ear.

She discovered again that liking this kind of thing doesn't mean whoever speaks louder wins.

Just like what Gu Zang said last night when she was about to fall asleep.

The voice is also very light, but the weight transmitted to the heart is very heavy.

And every regret she had during the flag-raising ceremony before was made up for by Gu Zang's voice in her ear at this moment.

She no longer felt sorry for those moments.

The regrets that are filled are more complete than the beautiful moments she yearns for.
