She stared at her friend's face and said, "I thought it was my little secret."
Gu Ran touched her forehead and laughed, "It's your own fault for not hiding it well."
As he spoke, he kissed her again.
ten minutes later.
Su Xiaoqiang blushed and stared at his hand, pretending to be angry.
Gu Ran smiled and looked at a decorative painting on the wall. The painting depicted a towering snow-capped mountain in Alaska, a high-latitude region.
He said, "Climbing mountains has always been a man's romance, and I find it hard to control this instinct."
"You big bad guy!" Su Xiaoqiang nestled shyly in Gu Ran's arms, not stopping him.
Gu Ran openly and generously enjoyed the softness and tenderness of his girlfriend.
"Gu Ran, you seem to have something on your mind." Su Xiaoqiang held his hand, preventing him from moving around.
Then, she rested her ear on his heart and whispered, "Something's wrong with you."
"Um... something happened."
Gu Ran knew that there was something wrong with his mindset. Perhaps it was because of the death of another person that he had some negative thoughts again.
This time, he had clearly given enough reminders.
But the unexpected still happened.
Perhaps, this is everyone's fate.
An inescapable fate.
"Is it a problem with your studies?" Su Xiaoqiang's hands were intertwined with her boyfriend's.
"I guess so..." Gu Ran gently inhaled the fragrance on his girlfriend's neck.
Her boyfriend's warm breath tickled her delicate neck.
She pursed her lips, shifting slightly away, and said, "Well... since it's so difficult, why don't you just drop out? Universities in China are pretty good. I know a transfer process you could try..."
"Shh...we can't say any more."
Gu Ran stroked her soft, fair face and sealed her words with his lips.
He pinched her chin and laughed, "You want me to back down when we encounter difficulties? You spoil me too much. I'm afraid our future children will be spoiled by you."
"Who wants to have a child with you..." Su Xiaoqiang lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding her boyfriend's burning gaze.
"Are you really not going to have children?" Gu Ran hugged her again and asked softly.
He hugged her like a bear hugging a tree.
Su Xiaoqiang gently pushed him, but couldn't budge him.
Of course, she herself didn't want to use too much force.
She felt her body trembling with nervousness, yet she also felt a sense of anticipation.
However, she remained motionless for a long time, but her boyfriend did not take any further action.
Su Xiaoqiang looked up and saw that her boyfriend's eyelids were already gently closed, his breathing was even, and he was snoring softly.
He fell asleep.
Her boyfriend's sleeping face was very peaceful, like a sleeping baby. Su Xiaoqiang's breath gently touched his eyelashes, causing them to tremble slightly.
She gently kissed him on the cheek, then got out of bed, covered him with the blanket, quietly left the room, and closed the door.
Chapter 115 Nono's Birthday and Lu Mingze's Play
The next day, when I woke up again, it was already 10 a.m.
Gu Ran checked the date and time on her phone several times before realizing that she had slept for more than twenty hours.
My phone notified me that I had received four emails.
One of the reports was from Norma, saying that Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji had passed the critical period and were gradually waking up, and their bodies were recovering.
However, both of them have developed significant mental health issues and require a period of psychological treatment.
Everyone else on the tugboat perished during this expedition.
The living always suffer more pain than the dead.
There's nothing we can do about it.
The second email was a public letter of praise forwarded to him by Guderian; the letter had already been sent to everyone's inbox.
The email specifically praised Gu Ran, whose earlier advice against looking directly at the dragon patterns in the ruins greatly helped the underwater operations team during the Kuimen operation.
Enclosed was a letter of commendation from the executive department, praising Guderian as one of the authors of the paper.
The third email was from Professor Schneider, who thanked Gu Ran on behalf of the Operations Department for saving Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya. It was all polite talk, but the gist of it was that this incident could be considered a merit for Gu Ran, adding to his resume for the Best Freshman award.
At the end of the letter, Schneider seemed to be subtly expressing his hope that Gu Ran would join the Lionheart Society.
He stated that the executive department would fully support him in becoming the Lionheart Society's president after Chu Tzu-hang.
The last email was an invitation from Nono to attend a dinner and social ball at Amber House the following night, and it also said that Caesar wanted to talk to him.
Caesar was probably looking for him to join the student council.
In fact, Gu Ran is more worthy of invitation than Lu Mingfei, because Lu Mingfei doesn't seem to have any potential yet.
However, Gu Ran's success in defeating her descendants, the viewpoints in her papers being incorporated into the Executive Department's action guidelines, and the fact that she was selected by the principal to participate in a mission right after enrolling in school, made her even more prominent than Lu Mingfei.
But Gu Ran wasn't really interested in joining the club.
Because there's no benefit to it...
Caesar could probably give him money, but he wasn't particularly short of it.
The Lionheart Society could give him a name, but he didn't want to be famous.
But should I go to the banquet tomorrow night?
Because this banquet was actually Nono's birthday party.
Tomorrow night is also the day that Boss Lu Mingze will arrange for people to invade the campus on the mountaintop.
Gu Ran needed to obtain blood samples from Constantine and Old Tang that night.
He wanted to see the Dragon King's blood sample to see what kind of reward he would receive.
Thinking about this, he felt that attending Caesar's banquet was not very meaningful.
At the banquet, Lu Mingfei didn't need him to come to his rescue; Ling, that little Russian girl, would take care of everything.
If you have time, you might as well practice swordsmanship with Chu Zihang.
He also needs freedom of movement to maximize his profits for tomorrow night.
After thinking it over, Gu Ran politely declined Nuonuo's invitation in her email. After all, it was her private email invitation, not Caesar's, and she wouldn't offend Caesar.
After processing the emails,
I closed my eyes, meditated for a while, and felt my body filled with energy again.
"call……"
Gu Ran took a deep breath, and her spirits lifted.
Yesterday I had some negative thoughts, but now they've all vanished.
His girlfriend is his spiritual medicine; with her by his side, he has more motivation to face the upcoming crises and challenges.
There was another pillow next to the bed, with a noticeable dent on it.
Gu Ran thought for a moment and realized that she didn't have this pillow when she slept yesterday.
He seemed to have thought of something, smiled happily, and then quietly opened the door and peeked into the living room.
In the living room, Su Xiaoqiang, dressed in a black sports sweatshirt, was leaning back on the sofa, engrossed in reading.
Her long, seaweed-like hair was simply tied up with a pencil, and her delicate face showed a meticulous expression.
Although Su Xiaoqiang is the daughter of a wealthy mine owner, she has always been a diligent and hardworking student. Her admission to Fudan University is entirely the result of her hard work and dedication.
Gu Ran watched for a while, then suddenly strode over to the sofa and pulled her into his arms.
The person in his arms seemed startled, but after smelling her boyfriend's familiar scent and seeing his figure, her body relaxed.
A soft, teasing voice whispered in her ear, "Whose girlfriend is studying so diligently? You'll be so lucky to marry such a capable woman."
Su Xiaoqiang put down her book and leaned against her boyfriend's chest: "Yeah, I wonder which bastard I'll marry in the future!"
"So, do you like that bastard?"
"……like."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it then. You've already fallen for her." Gu Ran wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind and kissed her fair neck again.
"It itches!" Su Xiaoqiang groaned softly.
She turned to look at her boyfriend, then reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, sitting on his lap.
Gu Ran sat on the sofa, put his arms around her shoulders and legs, and hugged her even tighter.
He couldn't resist kissing her cheek again, and laughed, "Sister lied. You said you'd give me something delicious after I woke up, but there's nothing on the table..."
Su Xiaoqiang smiled. In fact, she had already asked the kitchen to prepare the meal, so she reached for the hotel's landline to place her order.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ran grabbed both of her hands and brought them close to her face: "Since there's nothing to eat, then I'll just have to eat you, hehehe!"
As he spoke, he bit her fair, smooth cheek and then kissed her smooth neck.
"Mmm~ It's so itchy! You've been working so hard these past few days that you've got stubble!" Su Xiaoqiang said coquettishly, pushing her boyfriend's face away. "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. I've prepared some food for you. You've been sleeping for a whole day and night, you must be starving!"
"What do you want to eat?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.
"I want to eat you."
"I gave you a chance yesterday, but you chose to go to sleep yourself. You don't have another chance now." Su Xiaoqiang blushed slightly, but still maintained a cool and aloof expression, implying that missing the opportunity was your fault.
She seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned her head and said, "Besides, even if you don't eat me, there are plenty of beautiful girls in Kassel College for you to eat, right?"
