Chapter 73: The Mystery + Plum Candy Kiss
Tao Ruan did not want to jump to conclusion.
But the coincidence of this events are too close.
When did Gu Zhizhou fall in love with her?
Does Gu Zhizhou's drastic change of personality have something to do with her?
Did Gu Zhizhou change because of her?
"Ruan Ruan?" Gu Xiao tries to call her attention.
Tao Ruan did not respond.
She is completely bewildered.
Why?
Why on earth?
Why did Gu Zhizhou even rejected his mother and sister from touching him, but he could accept her?
Is it because he likes her?
Then when did he start liking her?
Since her first year in high school?
By the time Tao Ruan wanted to continue asking Gu Xiao, she found that Gu Xiao is no longer in their dorm.
"Where is Xiao Xiao?" Tao Ruan asks Liao Taotao.
Liao Taotao is eating her candy, "She just walks out a few minutes ago, she receives a call and have to answer privately."
Tao Ruan waited while packing her things up, after a while Gu Xiao came back.
Liao Taotao straightforward asks, "Where did you go? Who called you?"
Gu Xiao is a little stiff while answering, "There is something wrong with the club."
"Oh." Liao Taotao did not ask further.
Tao Ruan went to ask Gu Xiao when did Gu Zhizhou started talking with "Ruan Ruan" at night.
Gu Xiao replies quickly, "It was around my first year high school."
Liao Taotao notice something wrong, "But I remember that you said you were young…"
Gu Xiao twisted her fingers to calm herself, "I was a freshman…that is also a child, right?"
Gu Xiao is the same age as her, if she was in first year high school that means she was the same as hers.
Coupled with the wishing bottle and Gu Zhizhou's changes…that is to say, Gu Zhizhou has liked her since she was in first year high school?
At that time, she was around 14-15 years old, and Gu Zhizhou is around 16-17…but in her memory, she never encountered Gu Zhizhou before.
She did not even know who Gu Zhizhou is until she went to university.
Besides, she and Gu Zhizhou were not in the same high school at all, and they were not even in the same city at that time. How did Gu Zhizhou know of her, and how did he come to like her?
Tao Ruan is in a conundrum.
Knowing that Gu Zhizhou has liked her so early, she should be delighted, but why is she a little troubled?
Tao Ruan is still in deep thought after finishing packing her things, even when she went downstairs she was still musing.
After Tao Ruan left, Gu Xiao took out her phone and clicks on the message that Gu Zhizhou has sent her before, and wondering why did her brother asks her to lie.
["Come out and I'll tell you something and avoid people."]
Although Gu Xiao did not understand the cover-up, she still followed her brothers instructions.
After going out, she calls her brother and Gu Zhizhou asks her to change her timeline of him talking to "Ruan Ruan" to first year of high school.
Gu Xiao clearly remembers that it was not in her freshman year.
Gu Zhizhou has been talking to himself with the name "Ruan Ruan" since he was young.
But why did Gu Zhizhou lie?
Was it because the "Ruan Ruan" in his heart was not her roommate Tao Ruan? that is why he decided to hide it because he was afraid that Tao Ruan would be jealous?
Or maybe "Ruan Ruan" is really her roommate Tao Ruan. They met when they were young, but Gu Zhizhou did not want to tell Tao Ruan about it?
Gu Xiao is really confused.
When Tao Ruan arrives downstairs pulling her suitcase, Gu Zhizhou was already waiting downstairs. He took Tao Ruan's suitcase and help her to put it away, then opens the car door for her.
"Senior…" Tao Ruan whispers.
Gu Zhizhou raises his eyebrow slightly, and look over, "Why are you so frowning?"
"I…" Tao Ruan
"Get in the car first." Gu Zhizhou holds the car door open and with a hint of dominance in his voice.
Tao Ruan unconsciously enters the car and sat.
Tao Ruan has a lot of thoughts in her mind along the way, not knowing where to start, she twisted her hands repeatedly.
Neither one of them speak.
Until the intersection with red light.
While waiting for the green light, Gu Zhizhou opens one of the bag, there is a clatter of the packaging nearby.
Tao Ruan turns her head to look, but was caught in the back of her head by Gu Zhizhou's big hand.
"Um…"
Gu Zhizhou's lips pressed against hers, opening her lips and entering his tongue, after entangling with her tongue, a piece of candy is pushed into her mouth.
Sweet and sour.
Familiar taste.
It's her favorite plum candy.
"I took it for you when I came to your dorm. How was it? Is it delicious?" her boyfriend voice is gentle as ever, then Tao Ruan's eyes suddenly reddened.
She calls him "Azhou" again and threw her body into his arms.
