Qi Chenglin had already finished showering. His hair was half-dry as he leaned against the headboard. His legs were crossed comfortably as he held the remote control and turned the channel. Finally, it stopped on a parent-child variety show. It was the father taking care of the child at home.
Qi Chenglin snorted in disdain as he watched the father cooking in a hurry.
Ruan Danchen was about to take a shower when she turned to look at the TV and then at Qi Chenglin. She didn't think much of it and said casually, "Speaking of which, I've never seen you cook before."
"…" Qi Chenglin looked at her silently and turned the channel without saying anything.
"…" Ruan Danchen felt that this man was trying to hide something, so she walked over and carefully looked at Qi Chenglin's handsome but expressionless face. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Why did you turn the channel? Don't tell me you don't know how to cook? "
Qi Chenglin felt that Ruan Danchen was implying that he didn't know how to cook and actually laughed at her father.
Qi Chenglin was different from Qi Chengzhi. Although both of them went abroad to study after graduating from high school, Qi Chengzhi always had Song Yu in his heart. However, Qi Chengzhi always had Song Yu in his heart. On one hand, he couldn't eat Western food for a long time, but on the other hand, he wanted Song Yu to practice his culinary skills. He had long planned to serve Song Yu well after they got married.
At that time, Qi Chenglin didn't know Ruan Danchen yet. He didn't have a girlfriend and was a bachelor without any romantic cells. He just ate casually. It didn't matter if he ate hamburgers, pizza, and steaks all day as long as he filled his stomach. When he went home during the holidays, he would eat more Chinese food to comfort himself.
Therefore, after studying abroad for many years, he hadn't touched a spatula even once.
His current skills were limited to making a bowl of instant noodles. It was hard for him to cook.
Qi Chenglin's brows furrowed and then relaxed. He directly pulled her into his arms and kissed her fiercely. He kissed her until Ruan Danchen felt dizzy and couldn't say a word. Qi Chenglin smiled and said, "It's fine as long as I know how to eat."
"…" Ruan Danchen instantly understood what he meant and felt that she really got stained by the company she kept.
"Aren't you going to take a shower?" Qi Chenglin was in a good mood when he saw Ruan Danchen, who was paralyzed in his arms. His originally stern expression relaxed and his black eyes slightly curved.
Ruan Danchen finally came back to her senses and quickly got up with a red face. She forgot to ask Qi Chenglin if he didn't know how to cook.
Ruan Danchen quickly washed her hair and took a shower. She put on her pajamas and was drying her hair in front of the mirror when the bathroom door opened.
Through the mirror, she saw Qi Chenglin walk in with her cell phone in his hand. "Your call."
Ruan Danchen turned off the buzzing hairdryer and took the phone. It was a call from her high school classmate.
It was a woman, so Qi Chenglin's expression didn't change.
Ruan Danchen simply gave up. She picked up the phone and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Qi Chenglin, who casually moved the chair next to him.
He only used one hand, but she could see the strength in his long fingers. The muscles on his arms that were exposed outside his sleeves also bulged because of the strength. They were especially firm and good-looking. Ruan Danchen felt that the strong look was especially sexy.
After asking Ruan Danchen to sit down, he reached out to take a towel from the shelf next to him and slowly dried her hair. He was very careful and very patient.
Ruan Danchen looked at Qi Chenglin in the mirror. Although his expression was calm, his gaze was gentle and patient. She couldn't help but smile.
"Deskmate, why did you think of calling me?" Ruan Danchen said with a smile.
She was clearly a girl, but her parents gave her a boy name. Just like her gender and name, Gao Xiaoyang was the polar opposite. She had a loud and carefree boy name, but her personality was quite quiet. She was beautiful and elegant. She heard that she was working as a reporter at a financial news agency.
Because they were deskmates for two years in high school, Ruan Danchen and Gao Xiaoyang had a good relationship. But because they graduated and Ruan Danchen went through that incident, they didn't keep in touch anymore.
Later on, when they went to class, it became popular to reminisce about the past. During class gatherings, they added each other's QQ and WeChat. Their classmates from elementary school to high school regained contact.
They didn't talk often. They just commented on each other's WeChat Moments and had a New Year gathering.
"Aren't I contacting you about the New Year gathering in advance? In case you have plans for the New Year, I asked in advance, "Gao Xiaoyang said. She didn't mention the details of the gathering. Instead, she asked, "Who was the one who answered the phone just now? Are you married? Why didn't you tell us? "
"No." Ruan Danchen blushed. She looked at Qi Chenglin through the mirror. He was carefully drying her hair. "It's my boyfriend."
"You have a boyfriend!" Gao Xiaoyang's voice sounded a little regretful.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Danchen asked curiously.
"No, Chen Libai came back this time. I remember that you liked him in high school, right? I heard from a guy who was close to him that he actually liked you back then. But it was the college entrance examination, so he put it aside. He wanted to talk about it when he was in university. But who knew that his family arranged for him to study abroad after high school. He originally applied to the same university as you, but he didn't get into it. When he came back during the summer of his first year, he wanted to go to A University to look for you, but you weren't there. He went through a lot of trouble to find your address, but you moved. That's how you two missed each other. When he came back this time, we had a small gathering. When I heard him talk about it, I felt that it was a pity. Now he's coming back after graduating from medical school. Although he didn't say it, why do I feel that he came back especially for you? "
Gao Xiaoyang sighed. "It was a good thing. I thought that if I could use this gathering to let you two regain your unfinished fate, it would be a good story. Who knew that you had a boyfriend? Looking at the time, the two of you are still together. You should be living together, right? "
Ruan Danchen laughed and said, "I didn't know that you had the potential to be Sherlock Holmes."
Hearing that Ruan Danchen didn't deny it, Gao Xiaoyang was just making a random guess. Now he raised his voice in surprise. "You really are living together!"
Ruan Danchen didn't deny it. She looked at Qi Chenglin and found that he was raising his eyebrows with an expression that said, "I'll ask you later."
Qi Chenglin must have heard everything that Gao Xiaoyang said just now! Ruan Danchen felt a little guilty under Qi Chenglin's gaze and didn't dare to look at him anymore.
Ruan Danchen felt a little guilty under Qi Chenglin's gaze. She didn't dare to look at him anymore. When she heard Gao Xiaoyang say "it's a pity" again, she said, "Anyway, at 11: 30 p.m. on the fifth day of the New Year, let's have a gathering at Sheng Yue. Wang Kaiyi booked a room. You can just tell him his name and phone number."
Gao Xiaoyang didn't say that Chen Libai was now returning to his hometown in glory. Because he wanted to be with Ruan Danchen, he deliberately chose Sheng Yue, a relatively high-end place. In addition, Chen Libai's family was well-off. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to support him to study medicine abroad for so many years. After all, it was not cheap to study medicine abroad.
So this time, when he came back, he proposed to host the gathering and hoped that everyone would give him face. They were all classmates and knew his feelings for Ruan Danchen, so everyone agreed.
Ruan Danchen carefully looked at Qi Chenglin's face and couldn't see anything. She could only say to Gao Xiaoyang, "I can't go on the fifth day. I have something to do."
Gao Xiaoyang knew it was an excuse as soon as he heard it. He said, "Why didn't you say that you were fine just now? You have something to do when you heard that Chen Libai came back? To avoid arousing suspicion? Just treat it as an ordinary classmate gathering. We haven't seen each other for a year. It's rare that everyone is free during the Spring Festival. Let's get together! As for Chen Libai, even if you can't be lovers, even if it's awkward to be friends, at most, you can be ordinary old classmates. Your boyfriend won't be so narrow-minded that he won't even agree to this kind of thing, right? Besides, since you two are together now, doesn't he even have this little trust in you? Who doesn't have a past? If he doesn't allow you to go because of this, I think your boyfriend won't be able to handle such narrow-mindedness. "
Gao Xiaoyang was excited and his voice was a little loud.
Ruan Danchen's phone was originally leaky, so Qi Chenglin could hear everything clearly now.
Qi Chenglin pursed his lips into a strict line. The woman on the other end of the phone almost said that he was so narrow-minded and should just break up with her.
He sneered in his heart and heard Ruan Danchen say, "No, I really have something to —"
But before she could finish, the phone was grabbed by Qi Chenglin and dialed away from her ear. Covering the phone, he said calmly, "Go."
This time, Ruan Danchen was really in a difficult position. She really couldn't tell if Qi Chenglin was speaking the truth or not.
What if he said that he wanted her to go, but he was really disgusted inside?
But what if she really wanted her to go but she didn't go? What if he thought that she was guilty?
The man behind her was definitely capable of doing something like that.
As though he could see her worries, Qi Chenglin said again, "I'm serious. Go. It's a classmate gathering. He's not the only one there. Am I that narrow-minded?"
Really.
Ruan Danchen mumbled in her heart. She was still hesitating when she saw him raise his brows and mock softly, "Not going? Guilty?"
Ruan Danchen: "…"
What did she say? She knew he would do that!
"What's there to be guilty about? It's nothing. If you really don't mind, I'll go." As Ruan Danchen said that, Qi Chenglin let go of her and she put the phone back to her ear. Luckily, Gao Xiaoyang did not hang up.
Ruan Danchen said, "Then I'll go."
Gao Xiaoyang repeated the time and place again. He was a little worried and said that he would write it down and send it to her on WeChat before hanging up.
Ruan Danchen's hair was also half-dried by Qi Chenglin, so she got up.
Qi Chenglin placed the towel on the shelf beside him and followed Ruan Danchen out of the bathroom.
Ruan Danchen heard his low and melodious voice ring out behind her with a hint of mockery. "You had a lover in high school?"
"…" Ruan Danchen obediently climbed back to her seat on the bed. When Qi Chenglin came up as well, she didn't know when the conversation had returned to the variety show where fathers took care of their children before she showered. The children were jumping around and it was quite lively.
Ruan Danchen looked at Qi Chenglin's jealous face and thought to herself that he was already so petty, yet he still pretended to be magnanimous and let her go to the gathering.
Anyway, she went to this gathering every year. She really didn't feel that it was a pity to miss it out. They also usually kept in touch on WeChat.
"What lover? That was all because I was young and immature in the past." Ruan Danchen hugged Qi Chenglin's arm and realized that because of what she said, he seemed to be a lot happier. She snuggled into his embrace coquettishly and pressed against his strong chest, feeling especially secure.
"Did you confess to him in the past?" Qi Chenglin thought for a moment and asked again.
"Of course not. Moreover, he went abroad without a word. Why would I confess?" Ruan Danchen didn't think too much about it and told the truth.
"You mean that if he didn't go abroad, you would have confessed? I didn't know that you were quite proactive. "Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips." Yes, why don't I see you being so proactive? "
