Chapter 64: Sleeping with You
I heard from Gu Ruoyan that she wanted me to come and accompany her tomorrow night. Although I really sympathize with her, it is not appropriate for a man like me to accompany a woman.
But it is not convenient for me to say it now. Anyway, she didn’t say it clearly. I will pretend to be confused for now. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything.
I turned on the bedside lamp first, then turned off the ceiling lamp. Then I sat back down, smoking, looking at Gu Ruoyan lying on the bed, recalling a series of things that happened not long ago after she announced that I was going home for the holiday. I didn't know where to start. After thinking it over again and again, I decided to start from the beginning.
I said, "The week before, you called me to your office and announced that I was laid off and waiting for employment. After I went home for vacation and waited for notification, I didn't expect any other arrangements. I was very depressed during those days. One day my sister came to me. She is a crazy fan of Xu Shu. She asked me to get her some tickets for Xu Shu's concert because I have a high school classmate who works in the sports management department where the concert is held . That high school classmate is a girl. She liked me a long time ago..."
So I slowly recounted my experiences of the past few days, just like telling a story. Gu Ruoyan listened to it as a lullaby at first, and she even gradually felt sleepy and yawned. It was only when I mentioned my encounter with Xu Shu that she suddenly woke up and interrupted my narration and said, "Really? You met Xu Shu? The famous singer Xu Shu?"
I nodded, and Gu Ruoyan suddenly became alert and actually sat up from the bed. She took the bed coat and put it on, and began to listen to me carefully, but I still noticed that under her light gray cotton underwear, her chest had a perfect curve and amazing size... Ahem, I won't look at it anymore, I quickly came back to my senses!
I continued to tell you how I carried Xu Shu to the hospital, and even told you what I was thinking. I told Gu Ruoyan that after that day, I couldn't forget Xu Shu.
In addition to comfort, there was also a trace of pity in Gu Ruoyan's eyes when she looked at me. She said, "Alas, you are not much smarter than me. You fell in love with a woman you can never get. How pitiful! We are both in the same boat!"
Then I talked about how I met Hua Jingjing, how I became enemies with her, how she tried to drug me, and how I replaced the cup with her...
Hua Jingjing was someone Gu Ruoyan knew. She listened with great interest and found our struggle very novel. When I talked about how I sent Hua Jingjing to the hospital and how she slapped me, the perceptive Gu Ruoyan suddenly asked, "Ms. Hua later... fell in love with you?"
I was very impressed and said, "It seems so!"
Gu Ruoyan asked: "Is this why you want to resign?"
"Not entirely. The reasons are complicated. You'll understand once you hear me finish."
"Okay, go on."
So I talked about attending Xu Shu's birthday party and being insulted by Xu Shu again. I was angry and was forced by Xu Shu to resign to Hua Jingjing. But soon after, I clarified the misunderstanding with Xu Shu and accepted her apology. Hua Jingjing couldn't take back her resignation words, and because Hua Jingjing fell in love with me, I couldn't let my girlfriend down, so I had to resign. After telling the whole story, it took about an hour to explain why I wanted to resign.
Later in the story , I saw Gu Ruoyan shaking her head. After I finished, I asked her, "Manager, do you think my choice makes sense?"
Gu Ruoyan said, "Reason? What kind of stupid thing did you do? Mr. Hua has such good conditions and is so infatuated with you, and you just gave up so easily?"
"Hua Jingjing is indeed very good, and she likes me very much, but I already have a girlfriend. I am a very traditional man. If I do something, I either don't do it at all, or I do it to the end. I will never waver. Besides, my girlfriend has loved me for eight years. This relationship alone is worth cherishing. How can I do something to hurt her?"
"Tsk, your girlfriend said eight years, so it's eight years? If she really has always loved you, why hasn't she looked for you in the past eight years? Until now when you came to her house, she found out that she has loved you for eight years? This doesn't make sense! I think your girlfriend is unwilling to not have you before and has a compensatory mentality, and she doesn't really love you for eight years. Do you dare to say that your girlfriend has never had a man in these eight years? If not, I believe she really loves you!"
I was speechless. I always felt that things were not as Gu Ruoyan said, but I couldn't find a reason to refute her.
Gu Ruoyan continued, "On the contrary, I think Hua Jing's feelings for you are the purest. I have met her twice, and I think that although she is a young lady with a bad temper, she is still a straightforward and sincere woman. Once she falls in love, she will devote herself to it and will never give up. It is your blessing that you can get her love . Let's not discuss how much help her family's wealth and career will be to you. Just because you are her employee, I think she is very cute and sincere for falling in love with you. She is the one you should cherish the most."
Although I cannot agree with what Gu Ruoyan said, I cannot help but agree with her opinion. Hua Jingjing is indeed a pure and straightforward good woman. The only shortcoming is that she has a bad temper and sometimes lacks tolerance, but overall she is a good woman. And as Gu Ruoyan said, she can have real feelings for a poor boy and her employees, which is enough to prove that her feelings are the most sincere, pure feelings without a trace of other things, which is indeed worth cherishing.
I took out another cigarette and lit it. It was the last one in my pocket.
Gu Ruoyan suddenly felt a little sad and said, "In fact, our worries are completely different! You are worried about not knowing who to choose, while I am worried that no one wants me."
I laughed and said, "Impossible. In my mind, you are the best among women. Your husband doesn't want you because he doesn't know how precious you are. It's his loss to lose you. But there will always be people who know how precious you are. I'm afraid there won't be too many by then. You just need to hold on to the person who cherishes you the most, and you will be happy!"
Gu Ruoyan was stunned for a moment and said, "Am I really that good in your eyes?"
I nodded and said jokingly, "Of course. If I didn't have a girlfriend now, I would definitely propose to you. A woman as passionate and affectionate as you is simply a treasure. A man who has you is so lucky."
Gu Ruoyan blushed slightly and gently scolded: "Nonsense, you only know how to make women happy, no wonder so many women want to marry you."
I said, "I'm speaking from the heart. I really think you're a good woman. Don't think I'm just saying that to make you happy."
"Okay, okay, stop talking, your face is about to turn red." Gu Ruoyan interrupted me quickly. After a while, she said again: "Thank you, Tang Qian! I feel much better now, and I am no longer in pain like before. Tang Qian, you are really the kindest person I know. I was not wrong about you! I am very relieved that you came to accompany me and enlighten me when I was most sad. I will remember you for the rest of my life. Thank you!"
I was touched and said, "Actually, I should thank you. During my time in the company, I have always been grateful for your care."
Gu Ruoyan yawned loudly, stretched, and said, "Okay, let's stop thanking each other. Just remember that we are good friends, and good friends should help each other, don't you think?"
I nodded. She yawned again and said, "I didn't sleep in the office last night, and now I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep. I'll analyze your emotional entanglements with your girlfriends and big stars tomorrow." As she spoke, she took off her coat and got into the quilt again, and then said, "Don't leave yet, wait until I fall asleep. Don't fall asleep like last time, you are not allowed to sleep here!" She smiled, took off her glasses on the bridge of her nose and threw them on the pillow, and closed her eyes.
I took the last few puffs of my cigarette, threw it on the ground and stomped it out, then stood up and prepared to find a broom to sweep up the ashes and cigarette butts on the ground. But as soon as I stood up, Gu Ruoyan immediately opened his eyes and said, "You're leaving so soon? I'm not asleep yet!"
I said, "No! I just wanted to sweep the ashes off the floor."
"No, I'll clean it myself tomorrow. Come sit on the edge of the bed. I'll close my eyes and I won't be able to feel you."
I had no choice but to sit at the head of the bed, while Gu Ruoyan continued to sleep with her eyes closed. About a minute later, she stretched out a hand from under the quilt and said, "Excuse me, can I borrow your arm for a moment?"
I didn't know what she was going to do, so I stretched out my right hand. Gu Ruoyan touched my hand, and then placed her palm on my right wrist, with a satisfied smile on her face. She said, "I can feel you now. Okay, I really want to sleep. Don't disturb me, and don't move around."
From my perspective, Gu Ruoyan's facial features are very delicate. The best part of her face is her nose, which is straight and small, with a perfect angle at the tip. Without the obstruction of glasses, it is even more upright and handsome. From my memory, I know that her figure is also very hot. Not to mention when she was young, even now, she is still a sexy woman with full temptation.
There was a very attractive woman sleeping in front of me, and she was so mature that she was about to drip with water. It was impossible for a man not to have some dirty thoughts. The strange thing was that she trusted me so much and was so defenseless against me. Wasn't she afraid that I couldn't stand the test and had lustful thoughts about her?
It was late at night, and I didn't know if Gu Ruoyan was asleep or not. Anyway, she didn't move for a while, and only the steady breathing sound came from her nose. The curtains in the room were not drawn, and a full moon emerged from the dark clouds. The bright moonlight shone through the window and sprinkled on the sleeping Gu Ruoyan, showing her moving curves through the quilt.
I sat on the bed with her holding one of my hands. I thought of Hua Jingjing and Qiu Jieqin, and how good they were. They all loved me so much. I felt sweet and troubled. When I thought about it deeply, I couldn't help but be infatuated...
