Jiang He first discovered that Gu Xia had made a bet with her and said he didn't feel anything, which was a lie.
But after a while, the trivial offense and the anger caused by it faded away, and there was more relief and relaxation.
It felt like a problem that could never be solved. Finally, she found the reference answer. Jiang He finally understood the origin of Gu Xia's inexplicable obsession with her.
She never believed in the so-called "love at first sight". To put it harshly, it was just "love at first sight"!
Excellent color will naturally bring some benefits, but the troubles and intrusions that follow are not too much. She has seen these with Jiang Xiaoping countless times.
"Jiang He, I...I admit, my thoughts were not pure at the beginning."
As Gu Xia spoke, she tried hard to remember the specific time she logged into WeChat using Jiang He's computer.
Is it a week?Two weeks?Or a month ago?
What's worse is that his mind is as messed up as an egg that has been shaken loose, and he can't think of anything.
When Gu Xia thought that during this period of time, in Jiang He's eyes, she was like a clumsy magician, who was obviously full of flaws and still pretending to be a monkey, she felt so ashamed and annoyed that she wanted to hit him to death.
"You rejected me three years ago and asked...that person named Yan to humiliate me in person. I...I have always been unwilling to accept it. I can't understand why you can be indifferent? I can't understand how I am inferior to that person. Yan, I worked so hard to pursue you and please you, I tried my best, but...but you are just like a stone. The problem is, even if you are a stone, you should be warmed up, right?"
The more Gu Xia talked about it, the more excited and aggrieved he became. He didn't realize that his explanation had already gone off topic.
"Yan Su humiliated you in person?" Jiang He had no idea that this party was going on. "Are you so vindictive and aggrieved? You didn't really like me at all at that time."
Jiang He smiled and waved his hand as casually as if he was driving away annoying little insects, and his tone also revealed a hint of imperceptible impatience.
Gu Xia was stunned. For the first time, he truly realized the fact that Jiang He was 7 years older than him. It was not just a difference in numbers. Jiang He had a lot of experience, mental skills and even emotional management. Just crush him directly.
Gu Xia suspected that in front of Jiang He, his easy-to-understand story was similar to that of a preschool storybook, the kind with pinyin annotations.
"Since you can tell that I wasn't serious three years ago, you should know that I am this time. The bet has been canceled a long time ago. If you don't believe it, I will call my senior brother now and ask him to tell you."
"No need to be so troublesome."
Jiang He watched as Gu Xia hurriedly tried to put down Jiang Mao Mao, but Jiang Mao Mao stubbornly clung to him, trying so hard that his sharp nails scratched his jacket.
"Isn't that enough if I believe it? Let me tell you, Boss Gu, don't waste your time with me. Why don't you just change your mind to someone else? Just you, Boss Gu..."
Jiang He raised his hands appreciatively and gestured to Gu Xia, "If you want to find someone to play a fun love game, it couldn't be easier. Why hang yourself on my crooked tree?"
Jiang He's tone was very different from every time he tricked Jiang Xiaomao into taking medicine. Gu Xia, who struggled to find her phone, frowned subconsciously.
"I don't want to play any love games, I really like you."
"What if I want to play?"
Before Jiang He finished speaking, she realized that Gu Xia was frightened. She pursed her lips, suddenly wanting Jiang Xiaoping to see Gu Xia's expression at this moment.
"Okay, it's very late, go home quickly."
Jiang He said and stretched out his hand, intending to take Jiang Xiaomao off Gu Xia, but Gu Xia suddenly took two steps back, and Jiang He's hands fell empty.
"If you want to masturbate, masturbate for a while, but don't take her away, otherwise... you know the consequences."
Jiang He patted Gu Xia's arm in warning, and then walked quickly towards his building, as if staying with him for one more second was torture.
"Jiang He, are you scared?" Gu Xia suddenly shouted as he looked at Jiang He's back walking further and further away.
"The provoking method is useless to me." Jiang He replied distantly. Although she said this, her steps obviously paused.
"You're just scared." Of course Gu Xia noticed it. He hugged Jiang Xiaomao and strode after him. At the same time, he dialed the number to Li Mingchu.
"You're afraid that I'm like Yan Su. I'll be nice to you one second, but turn out to be heartless the next. You're afraid that you'll fall in love with me, and that your love will just be invested in a hypocritical and pretentious guy. You're afraid that I'm just playing with you, you're afraid that I'll leave at any time, you're afraid... you're afraid that you'll be left behind again!"
Jiang He finally stopped. She closed her eyes, her heart boiling with anger, and her fingers in her trouser pockets clenched tightly into fists.
Gu Xia's impassioned speech could be said to have hit the target every time. What made Jiang He even more angry was that even a brat like Gu Xia had seen through her. This was unbearable!
"Ha! Yes, you are right. I admit it, I am just scared."
Jiang He calmed down, turned to look at Gu Xia, and said, "What next? Boss Gu, what do you have in mind?"
Gu Xia obviously didn't expect Jiang He to admit it so readily. He thought it would take at least two or three rounds of back and forth and verbal exchanges!
"...I won't." Gu Xia frowned and looked at Jiang He firmly. The ginger kitten holding his arm also meowed in cooperation.
"How do you know you don't know how?" Jiang He was amused by Gu Xia's childish and ridiculous assurance, "Are you afraid that you can't even determine the date for the final draft of the old sofa? Or do you want to say that, compared to inspiration, Are you more skillful at manipulating emotions?"
"That's not what I meant, you know I..." Gu Xia suddenly closed his mouth, and he realized that Jiang He was deliberately leading him by the nose.
"Jiang He, you obviously have feelings for me, admit it!"
Gu Xia used his trump card. He raised his head slightly, and the dim streetlight shone on his face, which made his face look more and more profound, his eyebrows sharp, and his eyes filled with a bit of unruly complacency that only a young boy could have.
Jiang He raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Gu Xia could keenly capture the trance and throbbing he felt in those few moments.
"...So what? There are so many people who have feelings for me. Is it possible for everyone to talk about it?"
Jiang He's "shameless" answer was obviously beyond Gu Xia's expectations. His mouth was slightly open, obviously not knowing what to say next.
Gu Xia had long realized that he was like this only when facing Jiang He. His brain was knotted, his tongue was numb, and he was dumbfounded without being able to say a word. He usually did the same thing when confronting Li Mingchu. of!
The ginger kitten lying in Gu Xia's arms unconsciously licked its paws and teased the back of Gu Xia's hand with its tail, completely ignoring the tense and weird atmosphere around it. It was very comfortable.
Suddenly the cell phone that Gu Xia was holding in her left hand rang. It was Li Mingchu who called back. The sudden high-pitched ringtone and the sudden light-up of the screen startled Jiang Mao Mao.
It turned around faster than turning the page in a book, without even giving any warning, it bit directly on the back of Gu Xia's left hand. Its sharp fangs cut into the flesh in an instant, and blood immediately poured out.
"Hiss!" Gu Xia let go of his hand in pain, and Jiang Maotai jumped from his arms to the ground, and ran out of sight without looking back. He was a "heartless".
"Okay, your mother doesn't like me, and you don't like me either, right? She ate so many cans and cat bars from me, and... she even bit me!"
Gu Xia looked at the bleeding wound on the back of her hand, and suddenly felt aggrieved, "Why? I hate ghosts so much...do I hate cats?" Jiang He naturally chose to ignore such an irrelevant question.
"The community hospital shouldn't be closed yet. Let me go with you."
"I won't go!" Gu Xia choked angrily.
"Don't be childish." Jiang He grabbed Gu Xia's right wrist and gently pulled it.
Gu Xia didn't move. He was crestfallen and dejected. His energy and energy were gone. His usual overwhelming self-confidence had shattered both of them, "mother and daughter".
"After treating the wound, let's have a good chat. Is that okay?"
Jiang He suddenly realized that he seemed to have been bullying Gu Xia, and was really a bit "disrespectful", so he couldn't help but soften his tone.
"You won't have a good chat with me. If you don't want to face the problem, just pretend you didn't hear it or change the subject!"
Although Gu Xia complained so much, his feet finally started to move.
He was led by Jiang He and was speechless all the way. Jiang He also remained silent in a wise manner.
It was almost 12 o'clock, and there were actually a lot of people in the community hospital. As soon as Gu Xia entered the door, he didn't leave. He sat directly on the row of green plastic chairs at the door, took his ID card out of his pocket, and photographed Jiang. In Crane's hand, his legs shook and began to shake.
The trouble caused by Jiang Xiaomao, "a woman's debt must be paid by her mother", naturally has to be dealt with by Jiang He.
Jiang He worked hard to register and pay for Gu Xia, then took the injection form and returned to find Gu Xia.
The wound on Gu Xia's hand has been bandaged. He is picking at the small hole in his assault suit that was scratched by Jiang Xiaomao in annoyance. His right leg is still shaking frivolously there.
"Can you go?" As soon as he saw Jiang He, he couldn't wait to stand up.
"Although ginger kitten has been vaccinated against rabies, it is still a stray cat after all. Just in case, you should also get one."
"I won't fight." Gu Xia's attitude suddenly became tough again.
"But I paid all the money. It's quite expensive. It would be a waste if I didn't fight."
"Then I also..." As soon as Gu Xia started to speak, he was interrupted by a miserable howl coming from the injection room next to him, followed closely by the desperate howl of a child.
Gu Xia swallowed nervously and turned around to run away. Fortunately, Jiang He had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed the hem of his jacket.
"Are you afraid of injections?" Jiang He just teased him, but Gu Xia's ears suddenly turned red.
"It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just... I'm just a little dizzy from the needle." Gu Xia felt so guilty that her voice floated a little.
"Dizzy from the needle?" Facing Jiang He's confused look, Gu Xia raised her hand and touched the back of her neck awkwardly, "It's not serious, it's just... I just can't see the sharp needle, and I feel... dizzy just by looking at it. ."
Jiang He didn't believe it at all, thinking that this was one of Gu Xia's little tricks to sell people off. As soon as he entered the injection room and saw the syringe placed by the nurse on the table, most of the blood on his face suddenly faded, and his legs It started shaking again, which made the crying child next to him amused, and bubbles of snot bubbled up from his nose.
"Why is such a big boy so scared?"
The nurse was about the same age as Zhang Jiefang. Seeing Gu Xia's pale face and sweaty forehead, she couldn't help but ask.
Gu Xia was obviously too frightened to speak. He was sitting on the chair in the injection room. His right arm, with his sleeves rolled up, was sweating and resting on the table. His body was twisted into a knot. He looked like he might grab the door at any time. And escape.
"He fainted from the injection." Jiang He immediately spoke and Gu Xia explained, while subconsciously turning slightly sideways to block the gap between him and the door. She did this every time she took Jiang Kitten to the pet hospital for injections.
"Are you so dizzy? You need to relax a little. Your muscles are so big and so tense. I'm afraid you might break the needle in a while."
The nurse was kindly reminding her, but when Gu Xia heard this, she was obviously even more frightened. She wished she could curl up into a small ball without anyone paying attention. The muscles in her arms were noticeably tighter. The nurse who was disinfecting the skin with iodophor had no choice but to Sighed.
"Relax." Jiang He pinched Gu Xia's shoulders and neck, which were as tight as steel bars. At this moment, Gu Xia still said harshly, "I...I relaxed."
Jiang He couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and simply raised his hands to hug the person to him. Gu Xia, who had her eyes closed, seemed to be grasping at straws, and her thick arms suddenly tightened around Jiang He's waist, and then she became sweaty. His forehead also touched the lower edge of Jiang He's ribs.
Jiang He looked down at Gu Xia's furry head in his arms. Finally, his wish came true and he pushed down the stupid hair.
She originally thought that the touch of Gu Xia's short hair would definitely be hard and prickly, but she didn't expect that it was quite soft, similar to Jiang Xiaomao's touch. Jiang He couldn't help but touch it a few more times.
"Okay, the injection is over, are you okay?" The nurse handed the disinfectant swab to Jiang He, and then stood up to deal with the medical waste.
Jiang He thanked Gu Xia, used a cotton swab with his left hand to press the needle hole on his arm, and pinched the back of Gu Xia's neck with his right hand to remind him to let go, but Gu Xia held Jiang He's waist tightly, not caring at all. The intention to loosen up.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly, there are people waiting behind you!" Jiang He urged.
"There's no one around, let him sit for a while. He may faint from needles, big or small. It's not easy for such a big man to faint in a moment." The nurse took off the disposable gloves and said considerately.
"Sorry, I made you laugh."
Jiang He looked down at Gu Xia's furry head, and was about to touch it again, but Gu Xia just raised his head. He was sweating on his forehead and looked like he was about to cry again. The ends of his eyes were slightly red, and his eyebrows were slightly red. He was so aggrieved that he twisted into a horoscope.
"Why on earth?" Gu Xia said with a flat mouth.
Jiang He felt inexplicably that pushing him away now would be as sinful as kicking a puppy away.
"Okay, I understand. I misunderstood you. You are indeed pursuing me seriously. I bet it was all...a joke, right? I apologize to you, okay?"
As Jiang He spoke, he wiped off the dense layer of sweat on Gu Xia's forehead with the back of his fingers.
"No!" Gu Xia was obviously dissatisfied with Jiang He's words, which sounded too much like trying to fool a child.
"Jiang He, why don't you want to try with me?" Gu Xia couldn't figure it out. "Because you were worried about being hurt again, so you simply refused to start. Jiang He, you are... giving up eating because of choking!"
Jiang He looked down at Gu Xia and had to admit that what he said made sense. In fact, this was what Jiang Xiaoping had been telling her.
"...Okay." Jiang He suddenly felt that it was not impossible to "try".
Jiang He agreed so readily that Gu Xia didn't react at all. He was still immersed in his own emotions, trying hard to find a reason that would convince Jiang He to give him a try! "I...I really can't promise that I won't hurt you, but in fact no one can do it, right? And maybe you will hurt me then? No one can predict the future. Jiang He, we have to Look at now, look at this moment, you can't just assume that I feel for you right now just because I'm younger than you..."
