Chapter 23: Keep going

Little Qining suddenly pushed open the ajar door, and the entire room suddenly appeared in front of Su Li.

Facing the door is a single bed with neatly spread quilts.

Next to the bed is a two-layer bookcase. There are many books in the bookcase. They all seem to be for study and the like. They have been turned over many times. Some of the corners are damaged and wrapped with white transparent tape.

The desk opposite the bookcase is relatively messy, covered with manuscript paper and listed with many complicated equations and graphs.

This room is not big, it is just big enough to place some furniture, and the remaining space is pitifully small.

She continued to look at it. The floor was dark gray and clean, and the walls were also dark gray. Although the overall color looked a bit depressing, the overall cleanness of the room made people unconsciously ignore the bad feeling.

Little Qining ran in first, went under the bed and pulled out a transparent plastic storage box. There were a lot of toys vaguely visible in the storage box. He lowered his head and started to rummage through it carefully.

Su Li stood at the door and didn't dare to go in. She guessed that this room belonged to Gu Ling'an, and she couldn't just go in without the owner's invitation.

No, even if she is invited, a girl should not just enter a boy's room.

At this time, little Qining pulled out a small paper tank from the storage box. He was so excited that he jumped up and showed it to Su Li, "Sister, look, this is the tank that my brother made for me."

Su Li took it and looked at it. It was a small tank the size of a palm. It looked like it was made of colored paper folded and glued together. The shape was exquisite, showing the care and skill of the tank.

She couldn't do such a thing, so she shook her head in shame and said, "It's too difficult. My sister can't do it even if she tries to do it." She suddenly felt disgusted with her own stupidity.

Little Qining was very disappointed after hearing this, but children usually cannot maintain their emotions and enthusiasm for more than a few seconds. He put the tank back and continued to rummage in the box. After a while, he pulled out a bag and poured it out with a bang.

A bunch of small puzzle pieces, "Can my sister do puzzles?"

She knew how to do jigsaw puzzles, but... Su Li looked at the stairs hesitantly. It was very quiet downstairs. She thought, "No one will be coming up in a short time, right? It seems quite strange to stand at the door like this, so why not?"

Go in?"

Finally, she convinced herself, took off her shoes and walked in. After sitting on the floor, she felt as if she had rashly intruded into someone else's private territory. She felt a little uneasy, but she didn't want to leave.

Little Qining was already happily putting the pieces together. Su Li simply stopped thinking about it and started putting the pieces together.

But in fact, she couldn't concentrate at all. From time to time, she had to pay attention to the movement downstairs. Whenever she heard the sound of going upstairs, she would become very nervous.

Fortunately, no one came up, so she gradually relaxed her vigilance, and continued to look around while working on the puzzle. It felt like she was peeking into other people's secrets, which made her feel shameless but difficult to control.

As she looked at it, she saw various certificates, medals, and several trophies on the top shelf of the bookshelf. She felt admiration in her heart and asked little Qining, "Are those all your brother's?"

Little Qining was working hard on the picture. After a while, he looked up and nodded, "My brother is great. He always gets a lot of awards. My mother wants me to learn from him. I will become as powerful as him in the future."

"

After hearing this, Su Li fell in love with Gu Ling'an even more, but at the same time, she also felt that she was not good enough and was not worthy of him.

"Sister, have you won many trophies?" Xiao Qining asked, "Which pot should I not pick up?"

"I..." Su Li was extremely ashamed. Her grades had always been very poor. Not to mention trophies, she had never even won a certificate.

When little Qining couldn't get the answer, she raised her head and looked at her curiously. Su Li was forced to have no choice but to say, "Sister will also win many trophies in the future."

After all, he was a child and could not understand the meaning of the words. He smiled happily and said, "I will do it in the future."

The two continued to put together the picture, and when the picture was finished, it should be a cartoon duck, with half an eye missing. While Su Li was looking for it, the phone in his pocket rang.

She took it out and saw that it belonged to her father. She panicked and picked it up with a frown.

Dad's voice on the phone was a little tired, "Where have you been? Didn't I ask you to come back after buying dinner? Why aren't you back now?"

"I...I remembered that I needed to buy something, so I came to the supermarket. I will go back right away."

"Yeah." The other party hung up the phone.

She stood up in a hurry and said, "I'll leave the duck's half of the eye to you. Sister has to go back first."

When little Qining heard that she was leaving, she quickly hugged her feet and said, "Sister, don't leave. Please play puzzles with me. I still have a lot of puzzles."

Su Li patiently said to him, "My father is already urging me. If I don't go back, he will beat me. Do you want to see your sister get beaten?"

After hearing this, little Qining shook her head and said, "It will hurt a lot if you get hit." Guiqiao let go of his hand.

Su Li was able to stand up and walk out of the room, put on her shoes, and asked him, "Do you want to go down with me? Or are you here by yourself?"

Little Qining hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and continued to sit down and play with her puzzle.

Su Li walked down alone. Downstairs, Gu Ling'an was squatting on the ground brushing a pot. There was some white dough stuck in the pot. He lowered his head and brushed with a serious expression like a sculptor carving a work of art.

"Senior, I have to go back." Su Li whispered.

Gu Ling'an looked up at her, then glanced at the clock on the wall, and apologized, "It's already so late." He stood up, "I'm really sorry, my friend may have been delayed by something, and he hasn't sent the kitten yet.

Come here to me, please wait for me." He said and entered the inner room.

Su Li didn't know what he wanted to wait for, so she stood there obediently, full of doubts and expectations.

After a while, Gu Ling'an came out. The apron on his body had been taken off, his hands were washed clean, and the little white powder on his hair was also removed. He said, "I'll take you to the intersection to catch a ride. There's been a lot of security here recently."

Not very good."

Su Li didn't expect that he would offer to give her away. She was stunned at first, and then she was as happy as if she had eaten honey. She nodded shyly, "Sorry to trouble you." She never liked troublesome others, but this time, she wanted to trouble him.

The two of them went out together and walked towards the intersection as if they were taking a walk.

The moonlight was very bright tonight, just like last night when Chen Xi took Xu Chen to send her home. She suddenly thought, would she and Gu Ling'an look like the protagonists in a youth drama when they were walking together like this?

She looked down at the silhouettes of each other at her feet. One was long and the other was short. The man next to her was a head and a half taller than her, which was a very exciting height.

She thought, maybe they were like the protagonists in youth dramas! When she thought about it, she felt as happy as eating honey again.

The wind was blowing slightly, and the night was beautiful. A couple suddenly passed by them, each holding an ice cream in their hands. The boy's ice cream was almost gone, but the girl's had a lot left, so the boy joined in.

He went over to take a bite secretly, and the girl immediately hit him on the arm and scolded him with a smile, "Shameless, you actually ate mine secretly."

"What's yours is mine." The boy smiled and took another bite. The girl hit him hard again, but she also smiled happily.

The sweet smell of vanilla ice cream drifted towards Su Li. She raised her head and glanced at Gu Ling'an beside her. He was looking straight ahead with a gentle expression, which was more reassuring than the smile he always had in the past.

Mature.

As if she felt that she was being stared at, Gu Lingan lowered his head and looked at her. Su Li immediately looked away in panic, pretending to enjoy the surrounding night casually, her heartbeat was so fast that it was out of rhythm, and it took a long time to finally calm down.

Several street lights on the roadside were broken, and the ones that were on emitted a faint yellow light. There were many small flying insects flying around below, adding a lot of vitality to the quiet night.

The breeze blew slowly, blowing the corners of his clothes and hitting her arms. It felt like being touched by an electric current.

Su Li's heart beat faster again. She had never had such an experience before. Every time she saw the love-to-death storyline in a romantic drama, she always felt confused, "Why does it have to be like this? Can't we live without love?"

"

Now that I have experienced it myself, I have discovered that this kind of love feels really beautiful.

Now she especially hopes that this road will not have an end. Even if she is tired, she is willing to keep walking like this, and keep walking.

If you walk with the person you like, you won't feel tired or bored even if you walk for a long time! She thought this and her heart became sweet again.

But suddenly she thought, "I wonder what it feels like to be around him. Does he enjoy this process as much as she does, or is he eager to reach the destination as soon as possible? Just like completing the task?" She raised her head to peek at him, and was attracted by it again with just one glance.
