She Can Also Be Gentle

Gu Ningzi walked to Chinuan's desk. Chi Nuan was lying on his stomach, looking up at her.

Gu Ningzi hesitated and said, "...Chi Nuan, can we talk about it? I have something to tell you."

Chi Nuan said, "I will have a stomachache another day."

Gu Ningzi: "What's wrong!?"

Chi Nuan said softly, "Auntie."

"Wait a minute." Gu Ningzi walked back to her seat, took out the brown sugar can from the belly of the table, poured a piece of brown sugar into the cup, and went to the water dispenser to get hot water.

After the candy lumps melted, she sent it to Chi Nuan to drink.

Chi Nuan didn't need to ask, Gu Ningzi must have prepared brown sugar for her aunt in advance.

The sugar water was still too hot, Chi Nuan held it in her hand and didn't drink it immediately. Gu Ningzi pulled out a box of painkillers from her schoolbag: "If you can't hold on, take the medicine, remember?"

Chi Nuan nodded obediently.

Gu Ningzi: "Do you want to go back to the dormitory to rest first? I will send you back to the dormitory?"

Chi Nuan said, "I haven't finished my homework. I'm fine. Don't worry."

...

After class, on the way back to the dormitory, Xu Dan and the others began to chat with the new update today. Chi Nuan landed at the end, her aching lower abdomen combined with a dazed mood made her be surrounded by a layer of low pressure, and she felt exhausted and breathless.

She took out her mobile phone and called Chi Qingchuan: "Brother, sister-in-law, and little Wutong are all okay?"

Chi Qingchuan: "It's all good. Did you just study by yourself?"

Chi Nuan: "Well, class is over and I haven't arrived in the dormitory yet."

Chi Qingchuan: "Do you have a lot of homework?"

After Chi Qingchuan asked her about her studies, she asked her if she had enough nutrition for three meals a day. At the end, Chi Nuan asked him: "Brother, is it convenient for you to talk to me for a while?"

Chi Qingchuan said: "Okay."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for more than ten seconds, and then there was the sound of moving the door, and Chi Qingchuan's voice rang again: "Let's talk, Nuannuan, what are you going to talk about?"

Chi Nuan hesitated and stopped: "...Brother, you and Mr. Ji have known each other for many, many years."

Chi Qingchuan: "By the beginning of winter this year, it will be twelve years old."

Chi Nuan: "Then...Will it be stressful for you to be friends with him?"

Chi Qingchuan paused: "Nuan Nuan, what do you want to ask?"

Chi Nuan stood under the street lamp, rubbing his toes lightly on the ground: "Just... I'm a little confused."

Chi Qingchuan: "Well, you said, brother is listening."

Chi Nuan: "...about Gu Ningzi."

Chi Qingchuan said: "Being friends with Xiao Gu makes you feel stressed?"

More than stress?

In that post, everyone was arguing about "worthy". When Chi Nuan interacted with Gu Ningzi, he only considered whether they were in love with each other, and never realized that if the two of them were to go on for a long time, there were other very real problems that needed to be addressed.

The more I think about it, the more anxious, Gu Ningzi, at the top of the pyramid, to the position of her brother-in-law, is said not to give Gu Miaoyan a face, let alone being such an ordinary herself?

——They are still girls.

Chi Nuan didn't have confidence in Gu Ningzi, but rather himself. Such a gap cannot be bridged without persistence or hard work.

"Sometimes, I can't do things with all my hardships, but Mr. Ji can help me solve them in a few words." Chi Qingchuan said frankly, "The background, resources, vision and pattern behind him are all different. I can compare it. In most cases, I can't give him anything in return except to get his help. This kind of imbalance often makes me feel pressured."

Although the situation of Chi Nuan and Gu Ningzi is much more complicated than this, Chi Qingchuan's words can also fit them well. Chi Nuan couldn't help but set his ears up and listened carefully to Chi Qingchuan.

"How do I dispel such negative emotions? I will stand in the position of Mr. Ji, thinking that what he does is to resolve problems for me, not to bring pressure to me.... In the final analysis, this This kind of'stress', it's more my pride that is at work." Chi Qingchuan said slowly.

Chi Nuan remembered that Gu Ningzi made similar remarks after the Cao Pinhui incident.

Chi Qingchuan guided Chi Nuan to think in another direction: "Nuan Nuan, think about it, has Xiao Gu despised you materially or emotionally?"

Chi Nuan replied without hesitation: "No."

Gu Ningzi pampered her carefully. She did a part-time job during the summer. Gu Ningzi didn't say a word, always trying to cooperate with her work and rest.

She is already defending her self-esteem.

Chi Qingchuan asked again: "You and Xiao Gu are friends, do you think she can bring you something, or is it because you guys are more able to talk to each other?"

Chi Nuan said: "I just like to stay with her. I don't think what she can give me."

Chi Qingchuan said: "So, Nuan Nuan, you and Xiao Gu have a sincere heart. If she accidentally does something that makes you stressful, you should communicate with her well, and friends also need to run in. …In these years, neither Mr. Ji nor I know how many times we have argued. Over time, we will know where the balance point is."

After the phone call, the low pressure lingering in Chi Nuan's heart did not dissipate much. But at least Chi Qingchuan's suggestion was correct. She really should communicate with Gu Ningzi and listen to Gu Ningzi's thoughts instead of retreating herself.

She needs Gu Ningzi to give her a little courage and confidence.

Two missed calls from Gu Ningzi were displayed on the screen. Chi Nuan rubbed the screen and dialed back.

Gu Ningzi asked her, "Is my belly better?"

Chi Nuan said, "It doesn't hurt so much anymore."

Both of them paused for a few seconds, and Gu Ningzi asked, "You were with..."

"I called my brother." Chi Nuan said.

Gu Ningzi: "Yeah."

There was a pause for a few more seconds. The two knew what was lying between them, and both were looking for a suitable opportunity to cut in.

Finally, Chi Nuan took the first step: "Gu Ningzi, can I want to eat steamed fish tomorrow?"

Gu Ningzi said immediately: "Okay!"

Chi Nuan emphasized: "Noon."

Gu Ningzi: "Yeah."

Chi Nuan: "When the time comes, you can tell me in person what you want to say today."

Gu Ningzi’s voice passed through the electric current, and it was a little dull and distorted: "I didn't mean to hide something from you..."

Chi Nuan: "I know."

Chi Nuan returned to the dormitory, and the roommates' discussions with Mr. Ba hadn't stopped. Chi Nuan remembered what they had talked about yesterday, and asked on a whim: "...Isn't it said that the heroine was despised by the hero's mother? Has this problem been resolved in today's update?"

Du Min said: "How can it be solved? The full text has to reach five million achievements, and the author needs hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Chi Nuan put down her schoolbag: "...Do you think the male lead's mother will accept the female lead in the end?"

Zhao Jingjing took Chi Nuan's shoulders: "Is it because you are already interested in this novel just by listening to our discussion? Let me tell you, I was just listening to the discussion between them. It was thunderous and cool. It makes people want to stop!"

Chi Nuan: "..." This, no.

Xu Dan said: "The final ending is definitely a happy one! There will be no second ending. This is a little bit of a brain that can solve all difficulties and obstacles with ‘love’!"

Chi Nuan: "..."

Xu Dan: "Don't talk about the author, I can come up with a basket of solutions-the male protagonist is suffering from love and becomes increasingly emaciated and self-abuses. His mother relentlessly gave in; the female protagonist was seriously injured for the savior, the male The main mother moved a heart of compassion; or even more fiercely, the heroine directly donated the kidney and saved the life of the main hero's mother. so!?"

Du Min patted the bed and laughed: "It's so possible!!"

Chi Nuan was stunned when she heard it, and regretted that she actually asked such a silly question in order to find comfort.

Before going to bed, she didn't know if Gu Ningzi was unsure or what reason, she didn't ask Chi Nuan for a goodnight kiss, but took the initiative to send an expression of "[爱心]".

Chi Nuan was sour in her heart and returned to her: "[Memoda]"

In the next day's class, both Gu Ningzi and Chi Nuan were absent-minded. After school ended at noon, Chi Nuan was about to go home with Gu Ningzi. He Liwen waved at her outside the classroom: "Chi Nuan, come with me."

Chi Nuan looked at Gu Ningzi and asked He Liwen: "Teacher He,...will it take a long time?"

He Liwen said unclearly: "Well... it may take a while, and the teacher is not very clear."

Chi Nuan looked after Gu Ningzi again. Gu Ningzi nodded and said, "I'll wait for you to go together."

Chi Nuan followed He Liwen out of the classroom, but He Liwen did not lead her to the office, but out of the teaching building, all the way to the school gate.

Chi Nuan wondered: "Teacher He, where are we going?"

He Liwen said: "Someone wants to see you, you will know later."

Who is that? Chi Nuan didn't have a clue, and walked outside the school gate with He Liwen. He Liwen looked around, and she followed blankly around.

A car drove in from the auxiliary road and slowly stopped in front of the two of them.

The rear window slowly fell, and the people inside said to He Liwen: "Teacher He, I'm sorry to trouble you."

He Liwen said unnaturally: "Where, where, but she hasn't eaten lunch yet, I don't know where you are..."

"Teacher He, don't worry, Chi Nuan knows me. I ate dinner together last night, Chi Nuan, right?"

Chi Nuan looked at Gu Miaoyan who was smiling at Yan Yan in the car, and it took a long time before he swallowed his astonishment into his stomach: "...Yes."

Gu Miaoyan opened the car door from the inside: "Chi Nuan, come up."

Chi Nuan knew that she couldn't refuse. Gu Miaoyan's reason for looking for her would only be related to Gu Ningzi—Gu Ningzi was the only intersection between them.

I said goodbye to He Liwen. After Chi Nuan got on the bus, Gu Miaoyan said, "My sister will take you to lunch, okay?"

Chi Nuan waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no need."

Gu Miaoyan smiled: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to chat with you. Because I have to rush back this afternoon, I can only get stuck on the meal.... Do you want to eat? I am true to Yuncheng. Unfamiliar."

Chi Nuan: "Really, sister, I will chat with you, but don't eat the meal..."

Gu Miaoyan said, "That won't work, I'm hungry too. So... Let's go to the place last night. It's not far from here anyway."

When she fell silent, the driver turned around and drove to the place where she had dinner last night.

Chi Nuan was up and down in her heart, and she didn't know what Gu Miaoyan wanted to talk to herself. She sent a message to Gu Ningzi: "You go back first, don't wait for me, I'm afraid it won't end soon."
