BXBX NOVEL Chapter 30.1 Personally Part 1
Names mentioned in this chapter :
-苏芮 (sù ruì) – Su Rui, our female protagonist
-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead
-刘玲(Liú líng)- Liu Ling, Su Rui’s university roommate
The moment their hands were clasped together, the look on both of their faces changed.
As Su Rui felt the warmth of the hand holding onto hers, Su Rui’s eyes flickered a little, and a layer of heat slightly spread on her face.
Her eyes subconsciously looked around.
Ahem. Well, I guess, at this time, on University B’s campus, all the students with excellent grades are studying in the study room, and the underachieving students were eating Happy Meals in the dormitory. Occasionally, there are two or three pairs of lovers on the road showing public displays of affection. So they wouldn’t actually notice them here.
Actually, it is alright even if they notice, right?
But for some reason, Su Rui felt a little nervous.
This is not a situation that she can easily deal with by the small amount of knowledge imparted by those aunties in the ward from their experience in their younger days with their husbands.
As for Gu Yu Cheng, his actual state of mind was not much less calm than Su Rui.
When Gu Yu Cheng held onto the soft and slender hands of the girl next to him, the corner of his lips naturally curved into a degree.
This feeling was exactly the same as what he had imagined many times before.
It’s very light, like a feather stroking across his heart.
However, it was as if he was holding onto something very precious.
Gu Yu Cheng subconsciously used some force and tightened his grip on Su Rui’s hands.
But at the next moment, his grip loosened.
“Gu Yu Cheng.”
“Hm?” Hearing the voice entering his ear, Gu Yu Cheng slightly lowered his head and looked at the girl beside him.
“Nothing,” Su Rui seemingly hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly smiled. She blinked at Gu Yu Cheng, and half-jokingly said, “Just… Randomly calling you.”
Although this kind of thing was something Su Rui had never thought of before, since it was a bit silly, it did however made the bit of tension in her heart disappear a lot.
At this time, Su Rui loosened the hand which was held by Gu Yu Cheng and naturally changed it into the state where the two hands were holding each other.
When Gu Yu Cheng saw this, he was stunned at first. Then, he looked at Su Rui and softly chuckled before turning his head back.
In the next second, Su Rui heard Gu Yu Cheng suddenly say.
“Su Rui.”
“Yes?” Did you randomly feel like calling me too?
Su Rui mumbled inwardly.
Of course, Gu Yu Cheng is not bored enough to do that.
“Shouldn’t you consider changing the way you address…” Gu Yu Cheng said and continued after a short pause as he looked at Su Rui, “Me?”
Change the way she addresses him?
Why? Is ‘Gu Yu Cheng’, these three words, unpleasant to hear? Or is it not catchy enough?
Su Rui raised her eyebrow, and in the next second, she realised what Gu Yu Cheng was implying. Su Rui suddenly couldn’t control but burst out laughing.
“I will consider.” Su Rui nodded her head and said it as if it were a matter of fact.
She looked down, and after deliberating for a moment, she looked up towards Gu Yu Cheng and said, “Then, what do you think is good instead?”
Speaking of this, Su Rui suddenly recalled the name that came out from Mrs Gu’s mouth.
“Cheng Ge Ge?” Although it was intentional, calling out these words also made all of Su Rui’s goosebumps pop out.
When Su Rui called out this name, her eyes were fixed on Gu Yu Cheng without blinking. She was very eager to see a hint of a crack in his expression.
Unfortunately, Su Rui failed.
She found that when Gu Yu Cheng heard this, he didn’t feel repelled by it at all and seems to enjoy it?
Su Rui tilted her head sideways and looked at the smile on Gu Yu Cheng’s lips and muttered to herself.
As expected, the next second, he saw Gu Yu Cheng smiling and nodded seriously and said, “Not bad.”
When Su Rui heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched a little.
Heh heh, so it should be said that Mrs Gu knows her son’s preferences very well?
“Let’s use a different name.” Su Rui shook her head and said very firmly after she found that this joke seemed to have dug a pit for her.
“Why?”
“I can’t say it.” Su Rui smiled at Gu Yu Cheng and said earnestly.
“Haha.” Gu Yu Cheng couldn’t help but softly laughed twice when he heard what Su Rui had said.
“Let’s go and eat first.” Su Rui thought and said, “As for how to address you, let me think about it.”
“Alright.”
Even though they were supposed to have ‘supper’, Gu Yu Cheng did not eat dinner, so it is impossible to eat kebab, spicy dishes and such.
So, the two of them simply found a pleasant environment outside the school, a tea restaurant that operates late at night, and they simply ordered a few items.
“Are these alright? Would you like to order more?” Su Rui asked as she passed the menu to Gu Yu Cheng.
Su Rui didn’t order too much. After all, it’s easy to have indigestion if one overeats at night.
Taking the menu and looking at the ticked options on it, Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes flickered.
“You ordered for me?” Gu Yu Cheng looked up towards Su Rui and asked.
He found that the items that were ordered on the menu were not too little or too much, it should be for one person, and most of them were things he liked.
“Yeah.” Su Rui smiled and responded.
In fact, it’s pretty easy to get a general idea of a person’s preferences when it comes to food and drink as long as one is meticulous about it.
A meal or two would be enough to know that.
Besides, when she visited the Gu house previously, Mrs Gu “unconsciously” talked about Gu Yu Cheng’s food preferences.
“All of this should be enough right?” Su Rui asked.
“Where’s yours?” Gu Yu Cheng asked again.
“Here.” Su Rui pointed to the very inconspicuous glass of lemonade and the mashed potato dish that she had specially requested to have less cheese put on.
“That’s all?” Gu Yu Cheng thought that it would be too little.
Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words and looking at the other person’s facial expression which obviously stated #This is obviously too little for you, I’m very worried that you won’t be full, the corner of Su Rui’s eyes twitched a little.
She had dinner, alright?
This sentence could only be grumbled in her heart, Su Rui certainly will not say this directly to Gu Yu Cheng.
“I have to control my weight.” Su Rui looked at Gu Yu Cheng and said leisurely.
This was true.
Su Rui had a very long mental battle in her head to pick these two dishes.
She doesn’t have Liu Ling’s metabolism where she won’t gain weight no matter how much she eats. Su Rui doesn’t want to get up and weigh herself tomorrow and see +2.
Looking at Su Rui’s face that is nervous about her weight, Gu Yu Cheng smiled.
“You are fine like this.” Looking at the girl in front of her, Gu Yu Cheng said very seriously.
When Su Rui heard what he said, she blushed slightly. Then, the corner of her lips quirked uncontrollably.
Even though she doesn’t know if this is from the bottom of Gu Yu Cheng’s heart or if he was just following some sort of “Comprehensive Collection of What a Boyfriend Would Say” tactic, it doesn’t matter as long as she is happy to hear it.
