In the dark night, despite the bright neon lights, they still cannot illuminate the doubts of the world.
On the top floor of Gu Group, there is a castle in the sky covered by thick dark blue glass.
Gu Qi lives on the top floor.
He sat alone in the empty living room, talking on the phone with Xu Biao, and learned that Gu Nanfeng and Jiang Cha Cha had lost on the first day of their agreed fair competition.
"Uncle, Gu Nanfeng is serious this time. He really wants to win." Xu Biao hesitated to speak.
"I know." Gu Qi stared at the high night sky outside the window, his voice low, "I won't ask you to do anything, nor will I interfere. If he can't even run a cafeteria, he won't be able to inherit the Gu family in the future. The three months I agreed with him will be up, and then we'll know the outcome."
"Yes, I'll hang up first, uncle."
"Xu Biao."
"Uncle, you say."
"You are friends, please keep an eye on him for me."
"I see."
Gu Qi hung up the phone and sighed deeply.
The second half of the sentence he didn't say was, "I owe him a mother, so it's hard for me to be a complete father."
His aura could shock everyone during the day, but when he was alone at night, he felt lonely.
Gu Qi took out sleeping pills from the cabinet and put them into his mouth.
His sleeping quality has been poor for a long time, and once he closes his eyes, he will see the sea.
weekend.
Jiang Cha Cha sat in front of the makeup mirror, staring at herself in a daze.
Jin Xiaocan patted her shoulder and said, "Boss, what are you thinking? Hurry up and put on some makeup, choose some clothes, and go on your date!"
Jiang Cha Cha was shocked: "How did you know?"
Jin Xiaocan's eyes opened wider than Jiang Chacha's: "Tang Meini said that you two sisters are going on a date together!"
Did Tang Meini do this on purpose? She clearly wanted to take a low-key photo and pretend that it really happened so that Tang Meini would be relieved. She never thought of making a big fuss.
"Don't you want to ask who it is?" Jiang Cha Cha looked at Jin Xiaocan, combing her hair with a wry smile.
"No matter who it is, if there is any progress, I will know it later." At the critical moment, Jin Xiaocan took the caring route, "The boss thinks about making money every day, it's good to go on a date and relax."
Jiang Cha Cha smiled but said nothing.
She tied her hair into a ponytail in front of the mirror, thought for a moment and decided not to put on any makeup . She picked up a light-colored skirt, put it on and went out.
She asked He Yao to go to the movies with her on the weekend, the reason being to thank him for his help. If she put on makeup or something, wouldn't it be easy for him to misunderstand?
Jiang Cha Cha looked at her phone and saw several missed calls from Tang Meini. She also sent many messages saying that she and Gu Nanfeng were about to leave. She also asked Jiang Cha Cha and He Yao which cinema they would watch a movie in and whether they wanted to go together.
Jiang Cha Cha thought about it and replied to He Yao’s WeChat: I’m ready to leave.
In fact, Jiang Cha Cha had never thought about having a foursome with Tang Meini and the others.
She knew which cinema Tang Meini would go to. She had a membership in that cinema and only cared about the environment there. She just had to avoid going there.
Jiang Cha Cha specifically chose a small cinema that was relatively remote.
She didn't want to make He Yao uncomfortable, and she didn't want to make herself uncomfortable.
Gu Nanfeng's words made Jiang Cha Cha feel very confused. She couldn't make things more complicated until she calmed down.
It's just that plans can't keep up with changes.
Jiang Cha Cha was almost scared to death when she saw Gu Nanfeng.
"you you……"
Forgive Jiang Cha Cha for pointing at Gu Nanfeng for a long time when she saw him at the door but only stayed on the pronoun "you" and didn't continue speaking.
At this time, Gu Nanfeng was wearing a black leather jacket, with thick, fluffy hair covering his eyes. He made a grand appearance in a pair of red limited edition sneakers, looking very punk, and high-profile in his low-key manner.
He walked up to Jiang Cha Cha, looked her up and down, and suddenly reached out to grab her ponytail and pulled off the hair tie: "It looks better this way."
Jiang Cha Cha glared: "Give me back the hairband!"
She didn't believe his lies! She was too lazy to dress up this morning and hadn't washed her hair yet, so she tied it into a ponytail. Now that it was down, didn't she look like a ghost?
Gu Nanfeng pretended not to hear and put the hairband in his pocket: "Jiang Cha Cha, we are really destined to be together. We even have a date together."
He deliberately emphasized the word "date" and sounded sarcastic.
At this time, Tang Meini arrived late. After she was dressed up, she was like a bright moving flower, exuding fragrance all the way.
When she saw Jiang Cha Cha, she was slightly stunned, then stepped forward and took Gu Nanfeng's arm: "I'm late."
Gu Nanfeng turned his head: "Fortunately, I haven't picked up the ticket yet."
Seeing Tang Meini and Gu Nanfeng smiling at each other, Jiang Chacha was not sure whose idea it was to come here. But what she couldn't figure out was that she didn't tell Tang Meini that she was going to this cinema to watch a movie, so how did they find this place?
"Cha Cha, I bought popcorn and ice cream. What else do you want to eat?" He Yao came over from the food area with bags in his arms and asked Jiang Cha Cha.
Jiang Cha Cha took the popcorn from his arms, smiled and shook her head: "No, these..."
A big hand took away Jiang Chacha's popcorn like a relay: "These are not enough, you should buy some more."
Jiang Cha Cha forced herself not to look back, because if she did she might hit that annoying face.
He Yao frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Tang Meini quickly said, "Gu Nanfeng, do you like this? Then I'll go buy some."
"No need." Gu Nanfeng glanced at Jiang Cha Cha, then walked straight forward.
At this moment, He Yao suddenly stood in front of Gu Nanfeng and said, "I bought this for Cha Cha."
The two boys were so close to each other in the same frame, and Jiang Cha Cha realized that they were actually about the same height. Perhaps because He Yao had a sunny personality, she felt that he was approachable and not that tall. At this moment, his unyielding persistence only added a bit of dignity, but no intimidating aura.
He Yaoping looked at Gu Nanfeng and said, "If you want to eat, go buy it yourself, or ask your girlfriend to buy it."
Gu Nanfeng sneered: "What if I don't?"
They seemed to be talking about popcorn, but also seemed to be talking about something else.
Seeing that this was a public place and the two had no intention of giving way, Jiang Cha Cha and Tang Meini hurried to pull them away.
Jiang Cha Cha: "Forget it, He Yao, I don't like popcorn, just give it to him."
Tang Meini: "Gu Nanfeng just likes to make trouble, he doesn't mean any harm. I'll go buy it, it's my treat."
"No need." This time, the two of them said in unison.
Gu Nanfeng stuffed the popcorn he had eaten a few bites of into Jiang Cha Cha's arms and said word by word, "It's just cheap popcorn. I don't want it."
As he said that, he took Tang Meini's hand and walked inside.
Jiang Cha Cha pulled He Yao over and said, "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."
He Yao patted her head gently: "What are you talking about? If you come out with me, I will protect you well."
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned for a moment, and he immediately asked her to help him get the food, then took out something that looked like a bracelet from his pocket.
Before she could get a closer look, he gently grasped her hair.
Jiang Cha Cha only felt his chin swaying gently in front of her eyes and could smell the pleasant scent of soap on him.
"I was going to give it to you later, but I'll use it for something else now."
His arms dropped down, and Jiang Cha Cha could clearly feel that her hair was tied up, neither too tight nor too loose.
"Let's go." He Yao smiled gently.
"Um."
It turns out that he even saw this.
Jiang Cha Cha felt warm in her heart and followed him into the inner hall.
However, the feeling of being touched only lasted for a moment. When she entered and took her seat, Jiang Cha Cha discovered that Gu Nanfeng was sitting on her right.
In order to avoid the scene that almost led to a fight from happening again, Jiang Cha Cha took a seat resolutely and separated Gu Nanfeng and He Yao.
Now she had no interest in watching the movie. She just stared at the flashing images on the screen without paying any attention to it.
Every time He Yao handed her food, she felt that Gu Nanfeng beside her was glaring at her.
Jiang Cha Cha's back felt like it was made of steel. No matter how Gu Nanfeng glared at her, she pretended not to see it. He Yao smiled at her, and she smiled back. When He Yao handed her food, she reached out to take it, trying to act intimate and natural.
Suddenly, Jiang Cha Cha felt a pain in the instep. She shuddered and slowly turned to look at Gu Nanfeng.
Gu Nanfeng lowered his eyes coldly and gestured to her arm: "You have crossed the line."
"sorry."
Gu Nanfeng then looked forward with a little joy. When he turned his head, Jiang Cha Cha met Tang Meini's eyes.
Her heart sank. Tang Meini's eyes were filled with sadness. She did not stop and turned forward.
Jiang Cha Cha really wanted to retaliate against someone. He was so despicable and made her the bad guy!
After the movie ended, when Jiang Cha Cha stood up, she staggered because she had been sitting so hard for over an hour.
Gu Nanfeng supported her at the right time, and the warmth of his big hands hit her again.
Jiang Cha Cha was startled and quickly stood up: "I'm sorry."
After watching a movie, she had already said sorry twice.
He Yao took Jiang Cha Cha's hand and said, "Come, I'll lead you."
Jiang Cha Cha looked back, met that burning gaze, and quickly walked forward.
When they arrived outside the cinema and were finally able to breathe some fresh air, Jiang Cha Cha was eager to say goodbye to Gu Nan Feng, but Gu Nan Feng took the initiative to suggest, "It's time for dinner, let's eat together."
Jiang Cha Cha and Tang Meini said in unison: "No need."
Gu Nanfeng frowned: "We've met each other anyway, and you're good friends, so what's wrong with eating together?" He then glanced at He Yao, "I can't take advantage of him after eating his popcorn!"
Jiang Cha Cha shook her head like a rattle, for she was afraid that He Yao would be provoked by someone and nod in agreement.
He Yao looked at her gently and said, "If Cha Cha doesn't want to, then there's no need. I respect her opinion."
Jiang Cha Cha secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took He Yao's arm: "Then we will go first, you guys have fun."
As she turned around, she felt relieved and yet extremely lost.
Jiang Cha Cha and He Yao returned to school, and He Yao said, "I am very happy today."
Jiang Cha Cha pursed her lips, not knowing what to say, and nodded woodenly: "I am very happy today, too."
He Yao paused: "Then I can look forward to the next time, right?"
There will be a next time?
Jiang Chacha turned her head.
"Did you forget? I charged you extra money." He Yao reminded warmly.
Jiang Cha Cha rolled her eyes and then she remembered that he was talking about the WeChat transfer.
She blushed instantly, it turned out that this kind of operation was possible.
"He Yao, are you..." Jiang Cha Cha thought about it and didn't ask. She was afraid that if she really asked, today's helpless act would become a real date.
"Is it something?" He Yaoxing narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to her.
"Is it..." He was really sharp-eared. Jiang Cha Cha's heart was pounding. She thought quickly, "You found out that I took advantage of you today."
She lowered her head like a child admitting her mistake.
Today, Gu Nanfeng deliberately made trouble for her. She and Gu Nanfeng were secretly competing with each other. Anyone could see that something was wrong. No matter how smart she was, how could she not see it?
"Yes." He Yao admitted without hesitation, "You want to reassure your friends and eliminate the estrangement."
"right."
"But I don't mind." His hand suddenly reached to her chin and lifted it up, "I'm happy to help your kindness."
—What's more, I am very happy to be with you.
He Yao's smile stuck to Jiang Cha Cha like glue and wouldn't go away for a long time.
She had to admit that his warmth was fascinating, like a huge swamp that made her lose her mind.
After taking off the "hairband" he gave her, Jiang Cha Cha became even more confused.
It was a red bracelet string with a small golden Hello Kitty tied to it.
Jin Xiaocan appeared mysteriously and exclaimed: "Wow, boss, it's your date gift!"
Jiang Cha Cha quickly threw the red rope into the drawer and slammed it shut.
"Boss! Are you shy?" Jin Xiaocan raised his eyebrows and stroked Jiang Cha Cha's face with his fingers, circle after circle.
"Jin Xiaocan, I have a very serious question for you now. If you joke, I will deduct your money."
Jin Xiaocan immediately became serious.
"What does it feel like to like someone?" Jiang Cha Cha swore that she was really serious.
Jin Xiaocan held back his laughter and said, "If you like someone, of course your heart will beat fast when you see him!"
"Are there any more specific manifestations?"
"Well, when he smiles, you surrender; when he speaks, you feel like he is singing..."
This is all about He Yao!
"So what is the treatment of being liked?"
"Of course I'm treated gently!" Jin Xiaocan blinked, tilted his head and thought for a while, "But it's not always like this. Some people like to tease you, some like to insult you. It depends on the person, because everyone has a different personality..."
This also seems to have traces of Gu Nanfeng.
"Jiang Cha Cha." Jin Xiaocan suddenly came closer without warning and looked at her who was thinking, "You have such a wavering expression on your face, could it be that...
"Don't you know who you like?"
Jiang Cha Cha slapped her hard and yelled at her fiercely, "Get out of the way!"
Jin Xiaocan felt aggrieved, and glared at the abuser with his head down: Although you are good at making money and are good at professional courses, you have never been in a relationship. What's so strange about having doubts in this regard?
Humph! It's obvious that you are trying to cover up your mistake!
At night, Jiang Cha Cha had another dream.
This time, she dreamed of He Yao sitting on the clouds fishing. She reached out to touch him and wanted to get closer, but suddenly she saw Gu Nanfeng approaching with evil wings spread!
When she woke up, it was already daybreak.
Strangely, Jin Xiaocan didn't sleep in his bed.
Jiang Cha Cha had a bad feeling, and sure enough, three seconds later, Jin Xiaocan pushed the door open and rushed in, saying, "Jiang Cha Cha, why aren't you getting up yet? The big star Tong Sese is coming to T University to record a show today, and we have to go for the interview!"
Jiang Cha Cha almost rolled off the bed.
She said she felt like she had forgotten something important!
Tong Sese, this is the homework assigned by Professor Jiang!
Even if only the competition was left within the Department of Journalism, there would still be 70 or 80 contestants competing! To get the exclusive, it was absolutely up to each of you to have the ability!
Jiang Cha Cha put on her clothes and shoes, washed up twice as fast as usual, then took Jin Xiaocan to the swimming pool.
As expected, the early bird catches the worm. The other students had already blocked the entrance of the swimming pool. The first place Tong Sese went to record the program was the swimming pool.
Jin Xiaocan was anxious: "Cha Cha, what should we do? If we had known earlier, we should have borrowed strong boys from other departments. How can we squeeze to the front with our small bodies like this?"
Jiang Cha Cha focused her eyes, looked at the situation in front of her, and analyzed: "Even if we squeeze through now, it won't make any special sense. Remember what Professor Jiang said? Exclusive news is often in the hands of a few people."
Jin Xiaocan turned around and followed Jiang Chacha around the front door.
The two came to a glass door at the back of the swimming pool that was locked with a thick chain. This was originally an escape route, but the three large doors in front of the swimming pool were usually open, so this back door was useless and was simply locked by the management.
Jin Xiaocan swallowed his saliva as he looked at the chain that was thicker than his arm: "Cha Cha, I don't know how to become invisible."
Jiang Cha Cha sighed, "With your current condition, how are you going to run the gossip news team in the future? I guarantee that you will be fired by someone else within a month of taking up the post."
As she spoke, she turned her head and picked up a stone from the grass nearby.
While Jin Xiaocan covered his mouth, he heard a loud "crash". Jiang Cha Cha roughly smashed a big hole in the glass door and chiseled a shape out of the hole according to the size of their bodies.
Jiang Chacha threw away the stone, put her hands on her hips with satisfaction, and signaled Jin Xiaocan: "Come on, go in."
"You guys are really making a big fuss." Suddenly, an inopportune voice sounded, scaring the two of them.
Jiang Cha Cha stared. It was Gu Nanfeng, the lingering guy again!
"You're following me?"
Gu Nanfeng curled his lips and crossed his arms: "Is it necessary? I just happened to pass by and saw you guys acting sneaky."
Being caught at a crime scene, even if one has a good mental state, one will still be a little panic. Moreover, the other party is the devil Gu Nanfeng.
Jiang Cha Cha tilted her head back: "What do you want?"
Gu Nanfeng walked right past them and went straight into the hole: "Don't worry, just go in quickly. I don't want to be considered an accomplice to crime."
Jiang Cha Cha and Jin Xiaocan looked at each other.
The two followed closely and went in.
Three people appeared in the swimming pool.
Jiang Cha Cha stared at Gu Nan Feng curiously: "What are you doing here?"
"Come and see Tong Sese." Gu Nanfeng was also unambiguous.
Tong Sese is now a member of a very popular girl group. She is very beautiful and is praised on the Internet as a beauty that appears only once in five thousand years. Her future is limitless.
All boys are the same, they are all attracted to beautiful girls.
That’s right, who wouldn’t want to take a look at her beauty?
Jiang Cha Cha did not forget to sneer: "You want to see him, but why would he let you? Since he is a star, he must be staying in the lounge, with a bunch of assistants and bodyguards standing outside. I think you are just celebrating for nothing."
Gu Nanfeng ignored her and strode forward.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived at the rest area of ​​the locker room.
A group of staff were already setting up photographic equipment and the like, and the appearance of the three of them was particularly eye-catching.
Just when Jiang Cha Cha and Jin Xiaocan were about to reveal their identities and express their wish to interview Tong Sese, they saw Gu Nanfeng walking straight towards someone.
The moment that person saw Gu Nanfeng, he actually greeted him with a respectful smile: "Mr. Gu, it's you."
That person, if Jiang Cha Cha was not mistaken, was Tong Sese's agent.
A Dong, who is 1.8 meters tall and thin, looks like Zhao Benshan. He was on camera with Tong Sese at the airport and briefly became a hot search. Everyone affectionately calls him "Uncle Dong". Tong Sese loves her fans very much and follows suit.
Jin Xiaocan lowered his voice and exclaimed: "No way, Master Gu even knows people in the entertainment industry?" There were at least five question marks at the end of the tone.
Jiang Cha Cha frowned as she saw Gu Nanfeng and Dong Shu having a pleasant conversation.
Uncle Dong wanted to invite Gu Nanfeng in. Gu Nanfeng turned around and walked to Jiang Chacha: "Do you want to come in with me?"
His smile was full of pride. Jiang Cha Cha wanted to say "no", but Jin Xiaocan nodded vigorously beside her. Based on the principle of not giving up such a good interview opportunity, she had to agree reluctantly: "Okay."
Being able to overcome obstacles and meet Tong Sese so easily is as lucky as winning the lottery!
Jin Xiaocan asked excitedly, "Mr. Gu, how did you get to know Tong Sese?"
Gu Nanfeng put his hands in his pockets: "She and I were classmates. Before she became famous, I sponsored her to go to Korea for training for a year."
Jin Xiaocan swallowed a lot of "Wow" and said, "So that's how it is!"
Gu Nanfeng glanced at Jiang Cha Cha who had been silent the whole time and said, "This is your journalism homework, right?"
Jin Xiaocan: "Yeah, I never thought I would be so lucky to get the qualification for an interview! Those students outside who are vying for this position must be so envious! Ouch!"
Jiang Cha Cha reached out and grabbed someone who was talking too much.
Gu Nanfeng curled his lips: "Then you should thank me properly."
Ginger Tea: ...
Seeing Tong Sese preparing to record the show in the lounge, Jiang Chacha simply asked two questions and left the rest to Jin Xiaocan. Jin Xiaocan was better than her in asking those explosive and stimulating questions.
So, Jiang Cha Cha left the lounge and waited for Jin Xiaocan outside.
Gu Nanfeng and she stood at the door, leaning against the wall on the left and right.
The two were speechless for a while. The sound of peripheral staff chatting drifted in the air, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Jiang Cha Cha couldn't help but glance at him, then subconsciously quickly retracted her eyes.
When he suddenly turned his head, her heart skipped a beat and she blurted out, "Thank you..."
"That day……"
The two couldn't help but meet each other's eyes.
Jiang Cha Cha blinked and pointed to the door awkwardly: "Thank you for the interview."
"I'm asking what you and He Yao did afterwards that day?"
Jiang Cha Cha lowered her eyes, her heart beating wildly, but she said calmly, "Of course I'm going to do what I should do on a date."
He stepped in front of her, and she subconsciously wanted to step back, but his big hand hooked her waist and forced her to look up at him. She met his questioning eyes again, just like the feeling when she was close to the transport truck in the backyard of the cafeteria that day.
"What do you mean by 'what to do on a date'? Be more specific." Gu Nanfeng's charming voice contained an irresistible tone of command.
"This... this is my privacy, why should I tell you?" Jiang Cha Cha pushed him away to no avail, and asked unconvincedly, "Then will you tell me what you did on your date?"
Gu Nanfeng raised his eyebrows: "Dating, after you and He Yao left, I broke up with Tang Meini directly."
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned.
That day, Tang Meinike came back to school very late. She said she had a great time with Gu Nanfeng and did a lot of things. She was so happy that she forgot to take pictures. Is it all fake?
"Now it's your turn to speak." Gu Nanfeng urged.
At this time, someone passed by. Jiang Cha Cha's face turned red and she scolded Gu Nanfeng: "Let me go first!"
"You want to bargain with me?" His strength became stronger instead of loose, full of threat.
Jiang Cha Cha looked at his face that was getting closer and closer, and felt like a piece of window paper that would break if poked. She quickly said, "He Yao and I went out to eat, take a walk, chat, and then went back to school together, and..."
"What else?" Gu Nanfeng frowned.
"We even kissed." Jiang Cha Cha bit her lip and blurted out, "How!"
His eyes were so cold.
His silence was like a hydraulic press, making people feel oppressive.
Jiang Cha Cha blinked guiltily, just wanting this inexplicable feeling between them to disappear.
She didn't care what method was used, she just wanted her friendship with Tang Meini to no longer fall into an awkward and embarrassing situation, but why did he keep getting closer to her?
Gu Nanfeng laughed in anger: "Jiang Cha Cha, you are quite good."
He let her go suddenly.
Jiang Cha Cha felt like her heart was about to jump out.
At this time, Jin Xiaocan opened the door, his face flushed with excitement, not noticing the strange atmosphere at the door at all: "Cha Cha, we got an exclusive interview!"
Jiang Cha Cha pulled her over and quickly ran away.
The two chose to turn back the way they had come. When they reached the swimming pool, the army waiting at the door, perhaps because they were impatient or had heard the news, rushed in.
Jiang Cha Cha, who was walking in front, couldn't turn around in time and was bumped by someone.
As Jin Xiaocan exclaimed "Cha Cha", a crisp falling sound was heard.
Jiang Chacha fell into the swimming pool.
Jiang Cha Cha can't swim. She only felt that the surroundings suddenly fell into deep blue, and then a force rushed into her nose and mouth. Soon, her body kept sinking.
This illusion of being submerged in water, following the initial panic, slowly settled into a familiar scene.
It was as if she had returned to the time when she was nine years old, when her father took her to her mother's hometown, hoping to find her mother. But her mother was not there, and she saw someone who looked very much like her mother on the boat.
She broke free from her father's big hand and rushed to the beach.
She fell into the sea while calling for her mother.
The feeling of being quickly surrounded by the sea...
She seemed to see a ray of light, as if she could see her mother by following the light, and as if there was a voice calling her: "Cha Cha, Cha Cha..."
…
Gu Nanfeng jumped into the swimming pool, quickly pulled Jiang Chacha up and pushed her to the shore.
He gave her artificial respiration: "Cha Cha! Cha Cha! Ginger Cha Cha!"
Jiang Cha Cha spat out a mouthful of water, and the moment before she regained consciousness, she clearly saw Gu Nanfeng's lips falling on hers.
Jin Xiaocan cried beside him: "Wow, boss, I thought you were going to die!"
Amidst the crying, Jiang Cha Cha suddenly slapped Gu Nanfeng with a "slap" sound.
Jin Xiaocan's crying stopped abruptly.
"This is my first kiss! You bastard!" Jiang Cha Cha blushed. She was sure that he did it on purpose! She had her eyes open, but he even put his mouth close to hers!
As everyone stopped and exclaimed in tacit understanding, Gu Nanfeng pursed his lips, not angry at all.
He got close to her face and spoke in a low voice so that only she could hear it: "Didn't you say that you kissed He Yao yesterday?"
Her head exploded.
In a flash, his calmness after joking successfully was like a spark that could start a prairie fire.
The large group of people who were originally going to interview Tong Sese had to stop and watch the gossip scene here.
However, as Jin Xiaocan pulled Jiang Chacha away, this little accident soon stopped diverting the main force's attention.
Back in the dormitory, Jin Xiaocan wrote the interview report while typing on the keyboard, while not forgetting to talk to Jiang Cha Cha who was changing clothes.
“Cha Cha, take off your wet clothes quickly.
"Cha Cha, don't take a shower. Hurry up and finish the report and hand it to Professor Jiang as soon as possible.
"Chacha, you..."
Jiang Cha Cha seemed to be trapped in a chaotic flame, unable to extricate herself. She sometimes grabbed her hair, sometimes slapped her face, and sometimes ran away.
Jin Xiaocan was terrified: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Cha Cha yelled fiercely: "I'm fine!"
How can this be a look of nothing happening! Jin Xiaocan rolled her eyes, then realized what she was feeling awkward about, and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed: "Oh, Boss, Master Gu was acting in an emergency, wasn't he trying to save you? Besides, you still made a profit, didn't you?"
Jiang Cha Cha covered her face with her hands, and suddenly she felt an extremely sad feeling from bottom to top, and she couldn't utter a word.
That's all. There is too much malice in this world, and she can't bear it alone.
After finishing the interview with Jin Xiaocan, Jiang Cha Cha hurried to the classroom.
Professor Jiang glanced at Jiang Cha Cha with a satisfied look as if to say "this child is teachable". They got a beautiful A.
Professor Jiang: "Cha Cha, you see, you are still very capable, right? Remember, the breaking point of news lies in unraveling the points that everyone is very curious about, and then reporting on them. Then your efforts will not be unknown to others, but will be more effective with less effort."
Jiang Cha Cha nodded silently, pretending to be taught.
Professor Jiang claims that he is different from other pedantic professors and takes a pragmatic approach.
Isn’t this another kind of rigidity?
After walking out of the classroom, Jin Xiaocan jumped three feet high: "Cha Cha, we got an A! We got an A!"
"Well, I have A, but what about my dream?" Jiang Cha Cha stopped and squatted.
The excited Jin Xiaocan was slightly startled, and realized what Jiang Cha Cha was talking about: "Jiang Cha Cha, the concern for the marine environment is really too far away from ordinary people like us. If you insist on going down this path, it will be meaningless."
"What is meaningful? What most people are concerned about is meaningful? What most people support is meaningful?" These words have been hidden deep in Jiang Cha Cha's heart for too long. "Some people walk on the big road, and some people have to walk on the small road too."
Jin Xiaocan bit her lip. Her eloquence was not as eloquent as Professor Jiang's, and Professor Jiang did not completely convince Jiang Cha Cha.
"Well, you are Professor Jiang's favorite disciple. At least he doesn't want you to give up the main road and take the small road."
Jiang Cha Cha stood up and lowered her eyes helplessly.
If Jin Xiaocan used a lot of arguments to answer her, she would have prepared a lot of words to fight back. But now, not a single word was useful. Her mind was filled with her father's expectations and Professor Jiang's reliance.
The biggest kidnapping is that the person who loves you treats you in the name of love.
At this time, Jiang Cha Cha received a call from Professor Xu: "Jiang Cha Cha, I'm Xu Wei, I'm in the United States now."
Next, Professor Xu expressed his apology and said that he could not accept Gu Nanfeng into his marine research group.
Professor Xu did not explain why he could not accept the offer, but simply hung up the phone in a hurry, saying that he had to board a plane.
Jiang Cha Cha didn't understand why Professor Xu didn't call Gu Nanfeng directly. Later, she thought about it and realized that it was probably because of Gu Nanfeng's nonsense that day that made Professor Xu think that she would be more suitable as the mediator.
Jiang Cha Cha was extremely depressed. Since when did she become inseparable from this enemy?
He just helped her get an exclusive interview with Tong Sese, and now she wants to use this news as a "thank you gift". It's ridiculous.
Gu Nanfeng returned to the dormitory wet and changed his clothes. Xu Biao was playing games. Seeing him like this, he turned his head in surprise: "Did you fall into the water?"
Gu Nanfeng raised and answered with a nasal tone: "Yeah."
Xu Biao's cell phone rang, and he glanced at it: "It turns out that the hero went to save the beauty."
Gu Nanfeng turned his head and was slightly stunned: "Did the news spread so quickly?"
Xu Biao stared at the computer screen and commented: "Gu Nanfeng, you are doomed to fail. You have fallen in love with Jiang Chacha."
Gu Nanfeng changed into clean clothes, his hair still dripping with water. He stared at the wet clothes on the ground, and for the first time did not refute Xu Biao.
When he heard her say that she kissed He Yao yesterday, he felt like his lungs were going to explode; when he was in the water, he saw her sinking infinitely, his mind went blank, and his heart shrank into a ball; when he gave her artificial respiration, he leaned over her again even though he saw that she was awake. She slapped him loudly and hard, but when he heard her roar, his heart was as sweet as honey.
If all these are not considered love, then it is really unreasonable.
His silence made Xu Biao give up the game that was about to be won. He slowly turned his head and took a breath: "You didn't even refute it!"
Gu Nanfeng closed the cabinet door and turned around: "You are half right."
Half? Which half? Lost? Still like ginger tea?
Gu Nanfeng came down from the dormitory building, ready to pay the money for the window at the back door of the swimming pool that Jiang Chacha had broken.
Jiang Cha Cha came to the door.
A smile unconsciously welled up in Gu Nanfeng's eyes. He walked forward and said, "Are you here to apologize or to thank me?"
Jiang Cha Cha tilted her head: "Should I apologize or thank you?"
"You can come at the same time, I can bear it." Gu Nanfeng lowered his head slightly and responded in a deep voice.
The stars in his eyes cast down, and Jiang Cha Cha felt as if she was back in the swimming pool. She stopped arguing with him: "I came here to tell you that Professor Xu called and he rejected your request to join the research team."
It takes courage to bring bad news to people.
But Gu Nanfeng was so annoying, she thought she would have less courage.
But when Jiang Cha Cha saw Gu Nanfeng's bright eyes suddenly turn dark, her heart was still shocked.
How could a man like him, who was full of ambition and standing on top of the world, be defeated by such a small thing?
He was completely immersed in the shadows, unable to extricate himself. If she hadn't seen it, she wouldn't have believed it.
"Are...are you okay?"
Gu Nanfeng didn't make any noise or fuss, he just remained silent.
He suddenly took Jiang Chacha into his arms.
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had been tricked again, when she heard Gu Nanfeng say weakly, "Just one minute."
…
"It will only take a minute."
His hug conveys sadness.
Jiang Cha Cha could feel the sadness he was trying hard to suppress in his breath. He buried half of his face in her neck, being cautious and restrained.
She couldn't help but hug him back.
One minute seems so long, yet it also seems like a blink of an eye.
Until he let her go first: "I'm fine."
"Is it really that important to join the ocean team?" Seeing him distraught as if he had lost the whole world, Jiang Cha Cha couldn't help but ask, but she regretted it after asking.
Such a curious tone is too familiar.
Professor Jiang, Jin Xiaocan, Tang Meini and others have all asked her the same question.
She just smiled and said nothing, from the initial explanation to the final explanation when she was too lazy to explain.
Without waiting for Gu Nanfeng to answer, Jiang Chacha laughed at herself and said, "It's a dream, right?"
Gu Nanfeng nodded and looked into the distance: "Yes, a dream, a dream that cannot be given up, a dream that I want to realize at all costs. So, even if I can't succeed this time, I won't give up."
"Is there any special reason that made you choose this dream?" Jiang Cha Cha asked again.
In her opinion, as a person living in the clouds, Gu Nanfeng's life has a fixed range. Even if his dream is not to make money, it will not jump so far. At least there is some connection.
The ocean is too far away.
"Because of my mother." Gu Nanfeng's long eyelashes flickered slightly, like a butterfly in the rain flying towards the flowers of memory. "She is a marine biologist. After going out to sea with an expedition fleet, she never came back."
Gu Nanfeng said that in his impression, his mother is very beautiful, and this beauty is not just in appearance, but in her passion for her dreams.
Gu Qi is a very overbearing father and a very overbearing husband. He loves his mother, but he cannot love her heart that loves the ocean, and he has argued with his mother about this countless times.
But after her mother remained silent again and again, she never compromised.
Ever since he was old enough to understand, his mother's bedtime stories were all about her and the sea. Before he had ever been to the sea, he had a general understanding of the sea.
My mother said that the ocean is a simple and pure world. Its mystery lies in the fact that humans still cannot fully understand and recognize it.
That time when we went out to sea, my mother said she would be back in half a month, but a month passed and she still hadn't come back.
He asked his father why his mother had not come back yet.
But my father always said it would be soon, and then I could see a serious look on his face as he kept making phone calls.
Later, not mentioning Mom gradually became a tacit understanding between him and Dad, as if once she was mentioned, Mom would really disappear completely between them.
In fact, everyone knows what the truth is.
But Gu Nanfeng felt that his mother would definitely come back.
"Even if she really can't come back, I want to go where she has been and continue her dream." At the end, when Gu Nanfeng said this, his face showed an unprecedented seriousness.
Jiang Cha Cha nodded, her heart felt as if it was swept by waves, and she remained silent for a long time.
It turns out that there is such a story hidden in the annoying ghost.
It turns out that there is an ocean of watchfulness in his heart.
She suddenly felt sorry for him: "As long as you believe, Auntie will definitely do it."
Gu Nanfeng was startled, then smiled: "Don't think that just because you said that, I will forgive you for that treacherous slap in the face."
He pointed to the right side of his face.
It was serious for only three seconds, but Jiang Cha Cha turned around with a smile. For the first time, she was not annoyed by his squeezing.
Because this time she understood that behind all the improprieties there was actually a deep affection.
Jiang Cha Cha strode forward, her mood changing from gloomy to cheerful, without noticing that a pair of eyes not far away were silently watching their actions.
In the afternoon, Jiang Cha Cha received a punishment from the Logistics Office.
Jin Xiaocan's expression was like a bolt from the blue: "Boss, did you make Master Gu angry again? Otherwise, why would he report us?"
Jiang Cha Cha bit her thumb hard and looked at the disciplinary notice: "Impossible."
I just had a heart-to-heart talk with Gu Nanfeng, how could he be the one who reported it?
"Who else could it be except the three of us?" Jin Xiaocan's head ached. This was a foregone conclusion, and she didn't want to believe this cruel fact!
Jiang Cha Cha was speechless.
Could it be that this is another of Gu Nanfeng’s plans?
This thought came to my mind, but was immediately dismissed. Such deep affection and determination would not lie to me.
Jiang Cha Cha decided to go to the logistics office to ask who the witness was.
When she arrived at the logistics office, Jiang Cha Cha saw He Yao.
He was talking to the director of the logistics office, who looked confused at first, then he adjusted his glasses and said nothing.
Jiang Cha Cha walked over and heard He Yao say, "Director, what I said is true. I was the one who broke the glass door at the back door of the swimming pool. You sent the wrong disciplinary notice."
He Yao took out the card and expressed his willingness to compensate.
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned. He turned his head and saw her. He waved at her naturally, "You came at the right time. I know you were wronged. I was talking to Director Tang about this."
Director Tang is in his forties, ruthless, and his position as the head of the logistics department is not in vain. It is said that his family members are all officials , so iron-fisted methods flow from his blood, and he especially likes to show his ability through his handling of things.
The security in the last school he attended improved a lot because of his management. The boys were afraid of him and didn't dare to cause trouble.
"But someone clearly saw that it was Jiang Cha Cha and Jin Xiaocan who did it. I have evidence here. It's not good for you to just admit it." He Yao took the blame for this matter for no reason, and Director Tang obviously didn't believe it.
When Jiang Cha Cha heard this, she stepped forward and said, "Director Tang, who saw it? I want to confront him face to face."
Director Tang glanced at Jiang Chacha and said, "No need. I've written it down anyway."
Jiang Cha Cha was even more puzzled: "Write it down?"
Seeing that both of them were very persistent, Director Tang turned his chair impatiently and operated the computer.
Soon, on the computer screen, Jiang Cha Cha saw the "crime scene" in which she led Jin Xiaocan.
Jiang Cha Cha breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it turned out that it was not Gu Nanfeng who informed on her.
But who could that be? And who filmed it with a cell phone?
Director Tang turned around and asked, "He Yao, do you still want to admit it? Jiang Cha Cha, do you still want to confront me?"
He Yao didn't expect this to happen and didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this time, Jiang Cha Cha said, "Director Tang, I accept this punishment and I accept the compensation. But you can see that I was the only one who did it from beginning to end. Jin Xiaocan was not involved. Why don't we revoke her punishment, okay?"
Jiang Cha Cha's words made sense. Director Tang adjusted his glasses again and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
After Jiang Cha Cha thanked him repeatedly, she looked at He Yao and turned to leave.
Jiang Cha Cha was very surprised that He Yao took the blame for her.
Although this punishment is not serious, it is still a stain, and no matter how small it is, it will have some impact.
She and he went downstairs one after the other.
On the corridor on the first floor, Jiang Cha Cha turned around and asked, "Why do you say you did it?"
He Yao stood with his hands in his pockets and said calmly: "We are friends."
This sounds reasonable, but it sounds so careless.
Jiang Cha Cha: "Then you don't have to take the blame for me. The punishment is no joke."
"You can make excuses for Jin Xiaocan, so why can't I?" He Yao stepped forward and walked in front of her. "Or do you not consider me a friend at all?"
His logic was perfect and she couldn't find any fault with it.
Jiang Cha Cha met his star-like eyes and said, "You know, this is different."
He Yao curled his lips slightly, and his light smile was like a willow leaf brushing against his face: "Well, it is different, but I don't want to rush to say it now. There is a long way to go, and I want you to see my sincerity."
He spoke sincerely, and his confession was about to come out, with only a few clear words missing, but it was enough to make Jiang Cha Cha blush.
If Gu Nanfeng's tyranny is a kind of heat, then he is a slow stream of heat, which also has a power that cannot be underestimated.
Jiang Cha Cha pursed her lips: "I..."
"You don't have to answer me in a hurry. I told you, there is a long way to go." He Yao curled his lips and said gently.
Jiang Cha Cha was lost in his smile, just staring at him foolishly.
He Yao's cheeks felt slightly hot when he was stared at. He lowered his head and coughed twice: "Cha Cha, should we go to the cafeteria to check out today's menu?"
Jiang Cha Cha shuddered, turned around and ran: "Oh, yes!"
She is so cute when she puts oil on her feet; she is cute when her cheeks and ears turn red; she is even cuter when she stands up for her friend.
He Yao's hand slowly moved to his chest and he heard the heart beating vigorously inside.
