Chapter 22: Tao Ruans Temper
Tao Ruan lay on Gu Zhizhou's shoulder, crying silently.
She could feel the arm on her body gradually tightening, and then Gu Zhizhou's voice fell in her ears.
"I'm sorry." Gu Zhizhou finally said.
Tao Ruan plans to give Gu Zhizhou another chance, so she asked, "I'm sorry?"
There is a suffocating silence.
After a few moments, Gu Zhizhou change the subject and rubs her head, with a gentle voice, "I brought you breakfast, eat a little first, don't be angry, okay?"
How could she not be angry?
She pushed Gu Zhizhou away, the man in front of her is handsome and gentle, he's the object of admiration by everyone but she knew clearly that the real Gu Zhuzhou is far from what his portraying now.
Why is he doing this?
Why is he doing this to her and lying about everything?
She really couldn't figure it out.
"Ruan Ruan…" Gu Zhizhou once again raises his hands to wipe her tears but she knocked his hands off.
"I will ask you again one last time." Tao Ruan sniffed and looked at him seriously,"Do you really have nothing to explain to me?"
Gu Zhizhou handed the bag of food to her and lowers his eyes,"Eat something first."
Tao Ruan cries in frustration.
She didn't want any food, she did not want to eat, all she wanted is an explanation from him, but he's still not saying anything, she needs answer.
"Ruan Ruan," Gu Zhizhou frowned, "Don't cry."
Tao Ruan is so furious, she snatched the bag that Gu Zhizhou is handing to her and threw it on him. The hot milk and fried food left a stain on Gu Zhizhou's white shirt, he did not move but instead stood still.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Tao Ruan with tears in ger eyes and ran away.
She could feel someone catching up to her, following her behind. She also knew that it is Gu Zhizhou but she still did not look back or even stop.
Now that she's angry with Gu Zhizhou she doesn't want to see him anymore.
Tao Ruan is sobbing while walking the around the school. She didn't know where she's going, so she wandered aimlessly. Today's the weekend and still too early, there are not many people outside but there's still some pedestrian passing by.
Tao Ruan and Gu Zhizhou is eye-catching, specially with Tao Ruan crying in front and Gu Zhizhou behind with stained clothes. It seems that there is a story about them.
Tao Ruan also knew that she would be watched and discussed, but she completely ignores it.
She keeps on crying and wandering aimlessly, she walks around the teaching building, cross the bridge and acroos the road full of camphor tree. As soon as her tears dried, new tears keeps flowing out. After that her beautiful face is full of tears.
In the end, because she did not eat anything and fiercely was crying, her hypoglycemia attacks again and she could not stand firmly. But Gu Zhizhou who is quietly following her, helped her up. She ran out of strength and tired of crying and no longer has the energy to resist.
Gu Zhizhou took her aside and sat her down, took a piece of chococlate from his pocket, unwrapped it and put it into her mouth.
Tao Ruan ate the chocolate without any hesitation.
"Are you feeling better?" Gu Zhizhou raises his hand and gently wipes her tears again.
Tao Ruan snifs, and has calmed down a lot.
She even ask casually, "Do you love chocolate? Why do you always have it with you?"
Gu Zhizhou looked at her with deep and focused eyes.
"This is for you." He said softly.
Tao Ruan is stunned for a moment, then felt herself softening up.
Gu Zhizhou is a really good person, she was so fierce and unreasonable to him. She even threw the breakfast he bought for her. But he did not even got angry, instead he quietly follows her and tries to coax her.
"You…" Tao Ruan stretched her hands out, she wants to touch Gu Zhizhou's shirt but her action seens to be too intimate. So she retracted her hands, but softened her tone and asked in a low voice, "Did you get burnt?"
Gu Zhizhou shook his head and said no.
Tao Ruan did not directly look at Gu Zhizhou, softly kicking the ground with her feet, a little awkwardly, "Then you should go back and change your clothes, and then tell me the price and I'll pay you back."
Gu Zhizhou said no and continues sitting beside her.
"What do you want?" Tao Ruan glares at him, her voice cracked again.
Gu Zhizhou looks at her and then answered, "I want to be with you."
Tao Ruan is confused again, she really wanted to ask if he really likes her.Then she remembers that Gu Zhizhou have not answered her query yet, what can she expect him to say now?
Tao Ruan didn't ask him anymore.
She just sat there.
Gu Zhizhou also sat beside her.
In the end, Tao Ruan couldn't stand it anymore. She looks at Gu Zhizhou's clothes, how uncomfortable he is and can only ask, "How about I'll accompany you back to change your clothes?"
