Xu Tang's body moved slowly.

"It's okay. He picks you up every morning and sends you back in the afternoon. Even if you are together, it's nothing. It's normal."

Xu Tang moved his body again and let go of the doorknob.

Gu Zisheng took advantage of the opportunity and squeezed in immediately. He smiled and walked next to Xu Tang, but he nodded to Lin Ruoruo and said thank you softly.

Lin Ruoruo shrugged, turned around and took out another set of dishes and chopsticks, washed her hands, and sat down at the dining table.

Gu Zisheng stretched his legs and sat down, looking at the home-cooked dishes in front of him and smiling: "I didn't expect Ruoruo's cooking skills to be so good. Lu...well, I'm in a good mood today."

Lin Ruoruo replied nonchalantly: "Eat it, just don't dislike it, it's all home-cooked food."

"How could it be? If I could just come in and sit here, I would be very satisfied."

Xu Tang sat next to Ruoruo slowly, picking up the rice and eating it one bite at a time. He didn't pick up the food. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

She and Gu Zisheng... were said to be lovers, but not like lovers. They were said to be ordinary friends. They were a little closer and a little more intimate. After Lin Ruoruo said those words downstairs last time,

Gu Zisheng didn't say anything more to her or ask her for anything. He just silently used actions to prove that he was working hard to pursue her. He sent flowers, went on dates, and had dinner. He did it with all his heart. He also had no words to express it.

He forced her to be his girlfriend. This kind of gentle attack made her unable to withstand it. If he came hard, she still had some ways to fight violence with violence. But when he changed his approach, she didn't know what to do.

How can I face it? I am as slow as a turtle, hiding in my shell, thinking, if I can delay it for one day, it is one day.

She never gave him a clear answer.

But Gu Zisheng didn't say anything, he still persisted day after day, smoothly and naturally, as if he had been doing this all his life.

Gu Zisheng was not polite at all and kept praising Ruoruo's craftsmanship. He sighed silently in his heart that Lu Yanheng did not have such good luck and good taste. Seeing that Xu Tang only ate white rice, his head almost dropped into the bowl, and his body was no longer as usual.

With his domineering appearance of long thorns, and his smart eyes covered by bangs, Xu Tang is quite well-behaved.

He tapped the bowl with his chopsticks: "Tangtang, why don't you eat vegetables? These beans are quite good."

Lin Ruoruo ate her meal silently, treating herself as a transparent person.

"...I don't like beans."

"Then green vegetables, they are very fresh."

"I don't want to eat vegetables."

"Then eat meat, eat more."

"I'll be fine just eating white rice."

"How can this be done? Look at how thin you are, and the workload at work is so heavy, and you often work overtime. How can you do it if you don't eat more?"

"Gu Zisheng, I'm not hungry."

Lin Ruoruo finally couldn't stand listening any more and kicked her under the table and said, "Give me something to eat. Don't ask for a midnight snack later."

She quickly raised her head, then lowered her head, and then finished her meal quickly: "I'm done."

Lin Ruoruo added another bowl of rice to her: "Keep eating."

Xu Tang almost slapped the table without thinking. Lin Ruoruo had definitely seen that Gu Zisheng was here, and she actually treated her like this! She endured it, picked up the beans, took two bites, and suddenly put the bowl down: "I really can't eat anymore, Gu Zisheng

, you go for a walk with me."

"good."

Gu Zisheng put down his bowl and chopsticks, took a slow sip of water, glanced at Lin Ruoruo from the corner of his eye, and stood up.

Ruoruo continued to eat her food without squinting.

After going downstairs, Xu Tang slowed down and walked around the garden of the community. Gu Zisheng followed her unhurriedly. She didn't say anything, and he didn't speak either.

I really don’t know how this man can be so patient sometimes.

Xu Tang, who finally proposed taking a walk first, couldn't help but said: "Gu Zisheng, do you feel... feel..."

She repeated it all at once, unable to find the words to express it and got stuck.

Gu Zisheng looked at her: "What do you think?"

"I feel... it feels like the three of us sitting together to eat... have a, um... just weird feeling. What about you?"

"Weird? Xu Tang, why do you think so?"

She kicked the can next to her feet in annoyance, and it was kicked a few steps away by her with a clang: "I don't know why I feel like this. You see, I am Ruoruo's good friend, Ruoruo is Lu Yanheng's

Ex-wife, and Lu Yanheng is your friend and subordinate, I am your... uh..."

Gu Zisheng smiled proudly and led her to say the next sentence: "What am I to you?"

"The suitor!" Xu Tang quickly blocked his words.

"Well," Gu Zisheng touched his chin, "your analysis is quite right, but there is one thing I want to correct. You are wrong."

"What? Which point? Aren't you Lu Yanheng's friend?"

He solemnly said: "Lu Yanheng is not my subordinate. Although he is the general manager and I am the president, if he wants, he can take the position of CEO at any time. Of course, since I am sitting in this position,

I am also very good. But let me emphasize again, the Lu family’s weight in DG is definitely not light.”

I remember when Lu Yanheng said he wanted to transfer 10% of his shares, he was really shocked.

Xu Tang looked at him depressedly: "I don't understand the things about your DG company, so there's no need to tell me so much. I just think the relationship is a bit complicated."

"What's so complicated?"

Xu Tang was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, he was obviously more serious: "If Ruoruo divorced Lu Yanheng, what would she think every time she saw you? The relationship I just mentioned is really complicated.

It's a headache. I saw you sitting opposite me while eating, always paying attention to Ruoruo's face. Also, you almost said Lu Yanheng in front of her. How would she face this? What if I really

Being with you, having such an awkward relationship, makes me feel very confused."

While she was talking, she glanced at Gu Zisheng. Gu Zisheng also listened to her attentively, with the smile on his face gone and his eyebrows raised from time to time.

"Finished?"

"Well...it's all said and done."

Gu Zisheng stopped and turned to look at her: "Have you always cared about this?"

"It's not a problem that I don't care about, it's that these problems have always existed."

He chuckled lowly and held Xu Tang's shoulders with both hands: "Why, it seems that you are obviously more open-minded and cheerful than Lin Ruoruo, but now you are more boring. Xu Tang, I remember the last time, I was here too.

, what Ruoruo said. She can let go and accept it, so why are you still lingering in a dead end and refusing to come out. She doesn't want her things to affect you, and she also hopes that she can live in the present and bury the past. If

If this is the reason why you have been reluctant to accept me, I think there is no need for you at all."

She allowed Gu Zisheng to squeeze her shoulders, look into her eyes and speak word by word, without waving his hand away like before. He seemed to be carefree, but he could actually see so clearly. Yes, it was her

Xu Tang underestimated others. How could the dignified CEO of DG Enterprise be an ordinary person? It was precisely because of Gu Zisheng's status that she was hesitant. After seeing Ruoruo's failed marriage, she really didn't believe in such a fairy tale.

In love.

How could Xu Tang tie him down?

She didn't speak, looking at Gu Zisheng with a dazed look in her eyes. Gu Zisheng sighed, hesitated for a second, and gently held her in his arms. Her personality was carefree, impulsive and rude, but she actually had her own little thoughts.

He stroked her hair: "Stay with me, Tangtang. I've been chasing you for so long, it's enough."

No response.

Gu Zisheng said to himself again: "Do you still want me to continue chasing you? That's fine, as long as you don't hate me and don't close the door to me. Only after a while can you learn to cherish and remember me. One day, you

He will nod to me."

The street lamps next to the community came on one after another, illuminating the slowly sinking night. The two figures leaning against each other under the street lamps remained motionless.

Who would be willing to break this tranquility?

Lin Ruoruo was sitting in the living room watching TV, with a bag of potato chips in her hand, biting into two pieces from time to time. She looked at the time, it was already 7:30 in the evening, and the news broadcast had finished. How could the two of them still be there?

Not coming back?

He was about to call her, but after thinking about it, he was afraid of disturbing her and Gu Zisheng's alone time, so he stopped.

There were advertisements on the TV, and basically every two ads had slogans about the New Year. Ruoruo watched for a while, got up, took out a small book from the bedroom, and started to remember the New Year goods she wanted to buy.

She planned to go to the supermarket to buy these things in the next two days. As she thought about this, she felt that it would be too deserted to go alone. She should wait until Xu Tang was on holiday to go shopping together so that they could discuss how much to buy and what was missing.

The doorbell rang, and Lin Ruoruo just thought of this question. Knowing that it was Xu Tang who was back, she opened the door without even having time to put on her shoes. She couldn't wait to ask her when she would be on holiday.

As soon as she opened the door, she only saw Xu Tang alone. She stuck her head out and looked around: "Why did Gu Zisheng not send you up when you came back alone? You are really not a gentleman."

"I won't let him come up."

"Oh," Lin Ruoruo nodded, turned around and walked to the sofa. Seeing the small book thrown on it, she turned back and asked Xu Tang, who was changing shoes: "When are you going to take a holiday?"

"The Spring Festival holiday starts this Sunday, what's wrong?"

Lin Ruoruo raised the small book in her hand: "I'm remembering what I want to buy for the New Year... Come and see what's missing, and we'll buy it together then."

"OK!"

Xu Tang agreed without looking back, and his mind went blank for a brief moment. Down in the community, what Gu Zisheng said, when he left, he asked her to think about it, what should she think?

Think according to his ideas?
