ly, with no trace of fluctuation in her eyes."Are we still friends" he asked cautiously."Hmm." Shu Tinglan nodded and then continued to take the subway home."Friend The word hung in the air, laced wit...I drove Ruanruan back to school first and then remembered the important business of going to the club with her tonight, so I comforted her.

"Gu Ruandong has asked your mother to speak with a lawyer, that means he's agreed. Rest assured."

"Well, I'll take her to see Lawyer Shu tomorrow. Are you okay going back alone Would you like a driver to pick you up Does your foot still hurt"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, I can drive myself back." She wasn't entirely a spoiled little miss, she was only spoiled when someone took care of her. When no one looked after her, she could be very independent herself.

The bruise on my leg didn't hurt as long as I didn't touch it, so I drove home normally, still thinking about what Ruanruan had asked me just now.

What are your thoughts on him

I'm a little itchy.

And the man who made her heart flutter, also hadn't appeared at the opposite door for a while. Within minutes of her returning home, he came knocking on her door.

She opened the door and deliberately asked, covering her face, "What is it"

He was dressed impeccably, standing at the door of her house. This time, he wasn't as nonchalant as usual; instead, he stood straight and proper, his attitude even a little bit good.

"I brought you medicine, does your leg still hurt"

Lu Yaoyao glanced at the medicine in her hand. It was the same one he had sprayed on her at the club earlier. She looked down and replied...

"It still hurts!"

Then he silently moved aside to let her into his house.

Gu Ruandong didn't refuse and went straight in. He had been to her house before, so he was familiar with the place. Lu Yaoyao followed slowly behind, noticing that he was holding a small box in his other hand. Could it be a medicine box

Well, it doesn't have to be that dramatic.

"This medicine, you spray it again tomorrow morning, twice a day, don't forget."

"Oh." she

She replied, "It's just a bruise from the bump. No need for medicine, it will fade in a few days. I'm not that delicate." But she acknowledged the thoughtfulness of having medicine brought to her door.

After finishing her answer, she pointed at the small box and asked.

"What is this"

Looking at it this way, the box is very delicate and doesn't look like a medicine chest.

Gu Ruan Dong opened the box: "I promised to treat you to ice cream before, I don't know what flavor you want, so I bought all of them."

Gu Ruandong's attitude was very strange today, probably because he felt that he had hurt her at the club and his conscience discovered it.

The small box has insulation and inside, there are six flavors of ice cream arranged in a row.

Lu Yaoyao was in a good mood at first, but when she saw the ice cream, her whole demeanor changed. She felt that Gu Ruandong was deliberately trying to provoke her, and she didn't want to eat any ice cream at all.

She bit her lip and refused: "I don't want to eat now, not at all."

Gu Ruandong: "Really won't eat Then I'll throw it away"

Lu YaoYao looked at him more and more, feeling like he was intentionally trying to annoy her. She didn't speak, turning away from him.

She just got home and casually turned on the TV. Her dating show was playing, coincidentally, it was a scene of her and the male guest making a cake together in the kitchen of the homestay. For the sake of the program effect and the script arrangement, when the cake was finished, she playfully smeared a bit of cream on the male guest's face. The male guest smiled shyly.

Only her and the male guest's laughter filled the whole space, it was incredibly out of place. She wanted to turn off the TV but couldn't find the remote.

Gu Ruandong also saw, his expression a bit scattered, raising an eyebrow and asking her: "So, you like to eat cream now"

This tone, completely unable to tell if it's happy or...

angry, but Lu Yaoyao couldn't help feeling guilty, and even unconsciously explained: "It's for the show effect."

I don't even know why she'd explain herself. She can flirt with whoever she wants, what does it have to do with him

Then Gu Ruandong's lips twitched, as if smiling, he glanced at her and asked:

"Are you still going to eat that ice cream"

"Ice cream," she said pathetically, still craving it.

Gu Ruandong then leisurely took out a spoon from one side of the small box, removed its outer packaging and handed it to her.

He still had the sleeves rolled up, holding a spoon in his hand and offering it to her. Lu YaoYao only saw his long and slender hands, with distinct knuckles. Just one hand was enough to make her heart flutter.

"What do you want to eat"

“We should all try some.” She took the spoon and carefully tasted each ice cream with her head bowed. It was cool and sweet in her mouth, every flavor was delicious. She unconsciously went through all six flavors again, feeling a little guilty. If Haojie found out, she’d be dead.

So, they were rather restrained. After each taking two bites, they didn't dare to eat anymore. They put down their spoons and said to Gu Ruandong:

"You eat the rest."

"Um."

Gu Ruan Dong actually didn't refuse, and even directly picked up the spoon she had just used and took a bite.

Lu YaoYao's heart started beating wildly, her face turning red as if it was bleeding. She snatched the spoon from his hand and said

“I still want to eat…”

Then I ate all the matcha-flavored ones in one go. Luckily, each ice cream was quite small, only about the size of a fist. After finishing one, my flushed face slowly cooled down. To myself, I said, "This time, I absolutely can't let myself get fooled again."

A woman must hold onto her own path.

So when Gu Ruandong reached out his right hand and placed it behind her ear, although she felt dizzy again, she squeezed her eyes open and stared at him intently, unlike the last time when she had closed her eyes.

As expected, he merely grazed her lips with his thumb, his voice a low murmur, "Ice cream got on this."

She hurriedly leaned down from the coffee table, picked up a piece of paper, and hastily wiped her lips. On previous occasions, she had been somewhat flustered, paying attention only to her own feelings without truly focusing on him.

But today, she kept observing him. Although she was still nervous, most of her thoughts were on his every move. So she was sure, no matter if it was genuine or just a playful attitude, he had feelings for her.

She doesn't like playing mind games with people, especially Gu Ruandong. She knows she can't win against him, so she asks directly.

"Gu Ruandong, what do you think of me A little sister Someone you want to date Or just a woman you can flirt with without responsibility"

Though she spoke boldly, when asking the question, she couldn't help but feel nervous, almost suffocating while waiting for his answer.

Gu Ruandong, hearing her question, did not have his usual nonchalant or indifferent attitude. Instead, he looked at her with the same seriousness, his gaze sincere, even precious.

The room was silent for a long time. Then he said, "Yao Yao, give me some time."

For some reason, Lu Yaoyao sensed a struggle and a compromise in his reply. However, she was a person who knew when to stop, and wasn't eager for an immediate answer. So she didn't press for a clear explanation, nor did she ask why, because she knew that even if she did, he wouldn't be able to answer.se with Gu Ruandong's emotional intelligence, if there were really other women outside, he wouldn't let her be embarrassed in public.As expected, the host's enthusiastic voice boomed, "This donation c...
