Chapter 7: Lady, please be responsible for me 1
The red sunlight dyed both Su Jingjing and Gu Rong red. The two of them chased each other on the hillside without fear of the severe cold. The originally tense atmosphere was gradually broken by laughter, and the laughter resounded through the sky.

Gu Rong was finally woken up by a phone call when the sun was high in the sky. He had been living in a rented apartment since the holiday. The fair face looked like a natural sculpture under the sunlight, so exquisite that it was hard to describe. He closed his eyes and picked up the phone on the bedside according to his memory, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who?"
"Your dad. You little brat, why aren't you getting up yet? It should be ten o'clock there now." Gu's father's voice came from the microphone.
Gu Rong looked at the phone screen in confusion, then put the phone to his ear again: "I have always followed American time."
"You little bastard, do you want to die?" Every time Father Gu called Gu Rong, he felt that his life was shortened.
Gu Rong chuckled and had become much more sober.
Father Gu slowly calmed down and said, "I have already cleared the way for you. You don't have to drop out of school this time, but you need to take the make-up exam before school starts."
"Thank you, Dad!" Gu Rong jumped up from the bed excitedly.
"But..." Father Gu changed the subject, "There won't be a next time."
"clear."
"Study hard, or I will tie you back to me." Father Gu is still as majestic as ever.
Gu Rong nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice: "Understood."
With the help of his father, Gu Rong finally avoided the crisis of being expelled from school. This also made Gu Rong completely relieved of his anxiety and became happy. Taking advantage of the good weather, Gu Rong took his books to find Su Jingjing to review together and prepare for the exams at the beginning of the school year. Su Jingjing missed the exam to find him, and this made Gu Rong feel guilty. Just as he was packing up and preparing to go out, Amy's call completely disrupted his pace.
"Gu Rong, where are you? Did you know that Jingjing agreed to a date with Han Ran? Get up quickly and rush to the front line! We must not let Han Ran succeed!" Amy shouted at Gu Rong through the phone in a stern voice.
Sometimes Gu Rong even suspected that Amy was secretly in love with Su Jingjing, or was she a mortal enemy of Han Ran in her previous life. Why was she always more anxious than him at this moment? However, despite saying this, Gu Rong still quickened his pace and took a taxi to the address provided by Amy.
"Jingjing, I heard that you have always liked this band, so I bought two tickets. Would you like me to accompany you to watch it?" Han Ran knew how to measure his words.
Su Jingjing and Han Ran were strolling on the pedestrian street. The handsome man and beautiful woman were very eye-catching, and many people cast envious or admiring glances at them.
Su Jingjing was a little absent-minded all the way. Although there were people coming and going around her, she could always spot a face similar to Gu Rong in the crowd. That person's eyes looked like his, but he was not as handsome as Gu Rong; that person's mouth looked like his, but not as tall as Gu Rong. She always compared the people around her with Gu Rong in her mind.
Su Jingjing agreed to Han Ran's date because of an impulse. The last competition was completely disrupted by Gu Rong, and all the martial arts schools were talking about the Su family. There were constant rumors outside, but Su's father didn't blame her at all, which made Su Jingjing very sad. Han Ran appeared in this situation, with sincere eyes. I don't know why, she didn't refuse.
"Jingjing?" Han Ran saw Su Jingjing distracted, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he still called her name gently.
Su Jingjing came back to her senses and looked at Han Ran apologetically: "I'm sorry..."
Han Ran smiled slightly and said softly: "It's okay."
"What did you say?"
"I say, would you like me to accompany you to see this band's concert?" Han Ran placed two tickets in Su Jingjing's hand and looked at her quietly.
Su Jingjing looked down at the two tickets in her hand, a little surprised: "How do you know I like this band?"
"If you want to pursue someone, you must do your homework."
"But..." Su Jingjing wanted to say that she didn't like him.
Han Ran seemed to know what Su Jingjing was going to say, and quickly interrupted her: "I know what you want to say, but please don't say it. Now things are not a foregone conclusion, so I also have the right to pursue you."
The two of them didn't know that their conversation had been heard clearly by Gu Rong who had rushed over. Gu Rong originally wanted to walk over, but after thinking about it, he retreated to the alley near them and continued to listen to Su Jingjing's answer. This time, he wanted to give Su Jingjing a chance to choose. If she was attracted to Han Ran, he could voluntarily withdraw; if she rejected Han Ran, then he would never let go.
Su Jingjing looked at Han Ran, and suddenly lowered her head with a slightly bitter smile on her lips: "Han Ran, thank you for everything you have done for me, whether it is flowers, lunch boxes, coming to the martial arts gym as an apprentice, or now these two tickets, you have expressed your feelings very clearly . But, I'm sorry, I really can't accept it. Look at the people around you, who do they look like?"
Han Ran looked up at the people around him with some confusion, but found that they had nothing in common. In the end, he could only shake his head: "I don't know."
"I think they all look like Gu Rong."
Han Ran's face turned a little stiff.
"So, I can't accept you with my heart that can only see Gu Rong. This is unfair to you, and it goes against my heart." At this point, the smile on Su Jingjing's mouth became more bitter, "Although Gu Rong doesn't know."
"No matter what , please let me try again when Gu Rong doesn't know. You two haven't been together yet, you can't sentence me to death now." Han Ran smiled with relief and changed the subject, "Let's think about going to the concert."
Gu Rong hid in the corner, wanting to shout "I know" loudly, but he knew that doing so would be too abrupt. From now on, he couldn't do anything that would make Su Jingjing feel upset. Hiding in the dark, his eyes sparkled with a determined light.
