Chapter 74: Cross me (exposure (3)...)

Chapter 74 Exposure (3)
Gu Nian came out of the bathroom and quickly dried her hair with a hairdryer. She couldn't wait for the basement to come. But when she went to the living room, she realized that she was empty.
The white gift box on the table is empty, the lid is slanted on the box body and the table top, and a translucent white matte dustproof paper is left alone in the middle.
The contents are gone.
Gu Nian turned his head blankly, and looked around. Luo Xiu didn't seem to be on the first floor. When she was about to turn upstairs, she saw an unfolded notebook lying next to the box. It seemed to be a handwritten note. The black signature pen was still rolling on the side and the cap was not covered.
Gu Nian walked over curiously, bent down and picked up the notebook, muttering to herself: "Why do I need to leave a message if I live in a house and can understand things by knocking on the door and saying something?"
The words in the notebook are nothing special, they are Luo Xiu's handwriting, but they seem a little more scribbled than usual.
[I'll go back to the room and take a shower, you can go to the attic and wait for me first]
With only such a simple sentence, Gu Nian turned a few pages and read it several times, but found no other mystery.
She felt even more strange.
Tilting his head and thinking for a long time to find nothing, Gu Nian bent down and put it back in his notebook, ready to go to the attic to wait for Luo Xiu in accordance with Yan.
When she turned around and the pink rabbits on her feet jumped out a step, Gu Nian's figure suddenly stopped.
Frozen in the same place for two seconds, Gu Nian turned her head with a weird expression, walked back and picked up the book again. This time she moved the book so close to her eyes as if she had just looked at it with a magnifying glass.
And the facts are as she perceives
The handwriting ignores the original horizontal lines on the notebook and goes up obliquely; after a whole sentence, the final period is missing; besides the scribble, the last hook of the word "I" can be seen even when I get closer. Traces of trembling.
Gu Nian's face became serious.
She put down the notebook again, and Yu Guang was swept over the signature pen that was thrown aside after she forgot to put the cap on.
None of these details is definitely Luo Xiu's normal emotional state.
It should even be said that even Luo Xiu in an abnormal emotional state has never been so abnormal since Gu Nian met him.
It was so abnormal that it was almost nothing like that Luo Xiu who treated everything with gentleness and was also extremely indifferent and careless.
Gu Nian Gu didn't think much about it. After releasing the notebook, she turned and ran upstairs. Going up the stairs to the second floor, Gu Nian went straight to Luo Xiu's room.
With the door ajar, Gu Nian stood in front of the door hesitating for two seconds, then whispered, "Luo Xiu?"
She opened the door and walked in.
The bathroom was in the suite. Gu Nian made sure that there was no one outside, and went straight through the door of the inner room. There, she heard the slight sound of salad in the direction of the bathroom, and saw the suit jacket lying on the floor at the bathroom door.
Only the jacket.
Gu Nian walked over uneasy and puzzled, picking up the clothes on the floor, and gently flicking it on the shoulder line, trying to hang it on the coat rack nearby.
Then Gu Nian's gaze stopped in the middle of this jacket. The bottom button of the suit jacket was only hooked by the last strand, and it was shaky, as if to accuse him of the torture he had received not long ago.
Gu Nian raised his eyes hurriedly, looking at the door of the bathroom where there was still a rustle of water.
Luo Xiu took off only one coat before entering the bathroom.
Still in a rush or even irritable mood, the jacket was torn open and thrown on the ground.
Gu Nian wrinkled her clothes slightly. She finally couldn't help it anymore, and raised her hand two steps forward and knocked on the translucent glass door of the bathroom.
"Luo Xiu? Are you inside?...Are you okay?"
"..."
There was no response except the sound of salad water in the bathroom. Gu Nian waited patiently for a few seconds before hearing the shower turned off and the sound of water stopped.
Then a muffled, slightly heavy voice sounded: "I'm here."
""
Gu Nianchang breathed a sigh of relief.
But she didn't completely let go of her worry, hesitated and squatted down in front of the door: "I see your clothes were thrown outside, and you seemed to be in a hurry. Is there anything you forgot to take, do you need me to pick it up?"
There was silence in the bathroom again.
Gu Nian was so entangled that her heart was twisting together. She didn't know what had happened, and she didn't dare to ask rashly, for fear that Luo Xiu's emotional state would be worse.
In the entanglement of Gu Nian, the sound in the bathroom seemed to come closer: "Nian Nian, will you go to the attic and wait for me? I'll be fine soon."
Gu Nian hesitated: "It's really nothing...Don't you need me to accompany you?"
"It's okay."
"...Okay, then you come up quickly?"
"Ok."
"..."
Quiet outside the door.
The girl's footsteps faded away until it disappeared. Luo Xiu closed his eyes and leaned back against the porcelain surface of the cold wall.
The soaked white shirt and black trousers clinged to his body. The shirt was almost transparent when wet, revealing a pale and cold complexion, as well as a sunken collarbone and a undulating chest curve.
Broken black hair hung on his forehead, covering his eyebrows, the bridge of his nose was sharp, and his thin lips were tightly pressed, bleeding red from his paleness.
He just stood there with his head down, his closed eyelashes trembling, and his hand pressed against the wall beside him was silently clutched, and his veins were slightly blooming.
In the cold surrounding him, Luo Xiu had never felt a fear greater than life and death.
?
Gu Nian leaned back on the lazy couch in the attic. It was a double beanie bag she bought from a furniture store and threw it on the attic. The ceiling was opened and turned into a glass skylight pattern. It is most suitable for lying in the sun during the day or looking up at the stars at night.
It's a pity that she bought it and tried it for the first time, and she didn't seem to enjoy it at all.
Gu Nianling lifted his eyelids and raised his arms to the sky above his eyes, distinguishing the time on the watch by the light from the side lamp beside the attic.
It's been another five minutes, why haven't we been...
Gu Nian's thought had not yet completely drifted away. With a soft sound, her eyes suddenly darkened, and the display on the dial of the watch fell into the darkness.
Before Gu Nian had time to react, she stayed for a while before she hurriedly propped up her upper body from the beanie bag and turned into a squat position to look behind.
With the faint light from below the stairs, she could distinguish the slender figure standing at the top of the stairs.
"...Luo Xiu?" Gu Nian asked anxiously.
"Well, I'm here."
"Why are you suddenly turning off the lights?"
"It's too bright to watch the stars."
"Oh..." Gu Nian answered suspiciously. She patted the empty spot on the beanbag next to her, "Come here?"
"it is good."
Following Gu Nian's words, the figure walked over. Then stopped by the beanbag.
Moonlight thinned his figure.
Gu Nian’s eyes had adapted in the dimness, she sat up and waited for Luo Xiu to sit next to him, and then stretched out her hand to hold Luo Xiu’s arms: "We..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
Gu Nian looked down at the arm of the person she was holding. Through the thin black pajamas, all Gu Nian could feel was the almost icy coolness.
After returning to his senses, Gu Nian shuddered, and without thinking about it, he raised his hand and stretched out toward Luo Xiu's naked and slender neck.
Luo Xiu raised his hand before he touched it.
And as she felt the temperature of his arm, if it weren't for her eyes, she would almost think that she was being held by something refined from ice. Gu Nian's face tensed a little bit, she didn't speak, and she held Luo Xiu's wrist with her backhand.
"You just took a cold shower?"
"..."
The girl's expression was almost stern, and her tone was rarely cold and stiff. The line of her jaw was stretched out of her soft face, as if she was gritting her teeth and enduring some emotion.
Luo Xiu slowly loosened the knuckles he was holding on the girl's slender wrist. He lowered his eyes, his voice still low, "Sorry."
Unlike usual, it was a weak and sickly voice.
Gu Nian was distressed and angry when she heard it, holding his fingers and trying to tighten it tightly, but still couldn't bear it.
She took a breath and raised her eyes: "We didn't say it. You can do what you want or use any means, but you can't treat your own body like that."
"I didn't mean it," Luo Xiu sighed lightly. He leaned slightly as if he wanted to hug her, but stopped again, "I just need to calm down."
"..."
Gu Nian was unreliable, but still couldn't hold back and hugged it up.
Luo Xiu noticed that his half-dangling eyelashes trembled, and he wanted to get up and hide back: "Niannian, my body is too cold, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Nian could be strong holding him, and he didn't give him a chance to dodge. He even seemed to calculate the angle of his getting up, and directly overwhelmed the person on the beanbag.
This time, it was inevitable, and he threw himself full.
Luo Xiu instinctively raised his hand to protect people into his arms.
The air in the attic quieted down.
The girl who held him firmly and did not allow him to struggle with her face sideways and pillowed in front of his chest, feeling a trace of warmth slowly returning to the middle of the cold temperature, Gu Nian tightened her arms, her voice was flat.
"You sleep in a beanbag tonight, and I sleep with you."
"..."
The air fell silent.
Gu Nian recovered from her irritated emotions, and her face suddenly heated up when she remembered the nonchalant use of her words. But in the key link of breathing, we must not show any weakness or regression.
So Gu Nian tried her best to stretch herself, and changed her words again as if nothing happened: "...tonight you are lying on a beanbag, and I am lying on you."
She had a stern tone and forced her respect: "This is punishment."
Quietly for a while, a muffled helpless smile came from her head.
The voice followed the slightly rolling apple, through his chest, sneaking into her ears. It was like dragging countless small feathers all the way, rushing into her heart happily while scratching her itching, and slipping away from every pore of the limbs.
Gu Nian's face became even hotter.
She closed her eyes vigorously, trying to pull back the sense of sanity and anger. Beauty can't shake her! Sounds that are too good to hear are not good either!
"Sorry," the slight vibration of the voice in the chest made the sound in the ear more magnetic, and even the sigh was full of emotions and seductive. "make you worry."
"..."
Gu Nian was quiet for a while and murmured, "You know too."
Luo Xiu sighed softly and raised his hand to comfort the girl's shoulders.
Gu Nian's head moved, rubbed in front of him, and then slowly raised her head, her chin resting on his chest, and her face sternly looked at him: "So what happened, you do now Are you ready to tell me?"
Luo Xiu's hand froze on Gu Nian's back.
Gu Nian waited for a while, but still didn't wait for any movement. She frowned and finally let go of the killer cruelly. "You promised me that you will never hide or deceive me anymore."
"...I know." Luo Xiu hugged her tightly, "I didn't want to hide from you, I just don't know how to speak."
Gu Nian furrowed her eyebrows tighter, but her tone was pretending to be relaxed and joking, "Well, it turns out that we, Mr. Luo Xiu, who hasn't missed anything, sometimes feel embarrassed and don't know what to do?"
After Luo Xiu was silent, he laughed at himself in a low voice: "I will always be embarrassed about things related to you."
"?"
Gu Nian looked up unexpectedly.
Facing the dim eyes that were darkened by the night, she was stunned for several seconds before asking uncertainly: "Is it related to me?"
"Ok."
Gu Nian thought about it: "Could it be that the script project newly assigned to me by BH Media has become pornographic?...No, you certainly don't care about this kind of work so much. Even if BH goes bankrupt, you won't be ah, BH, BH I won’t go bankrupt, I’m talking nonsense."
Gu Nian turned to the other side and continued to study: "It's either work or private life. There shouldn't be any problems in this aspect... Is it because I am sick? It's not right. I haven't done any physical examination recently..."
Luo Xiu listened to the girl who was silly and silly, even though she was in a heavy mood, but it seemed that she was just staying with her like this, without having to do anything, without saying anything, it was enough to make him feel slowly relieved and satisfied Up.
And at such a moment, there was such a living, lying in his arms, his most precious person, who was suspended by his thoughts, almost lost forever.
Gu Nianzheng thought deeply about every possibility, and in a certain second, he suddenly felt that the body of the person who was lying on her as a beanbag suddenly showed no signs, and he became tense again.
The hand with her face on her back was slowly clenched into a fist at an unknown moment.
Just like when he first came here, as if some terrible emotion was suppressed in his body.
Gu Nian frowned expressionlessly, turned off from him, and lay down beside Luo Xiu.
When Luo Xiu felt light on his body, he immediately woke up, his arm instinctively wanted to bring the girl and her temperature back to him that he did not want to lose.
Luo Xiu turned to his side, before he moved his serious eyes to Gu Nian: "According to your current emotional state, I can only think of one possibility."
Luo Xiu suppressed his emotions and asked in a dumb voice, "What is possible?"
Gu Nian was silent for two seconds and asked softly, "Am I the long-lost daughter of the Luo family?"
Luo Xiu had a meal: "..."
It is rare to see Luo Xiu having such a moment when he was so stunned that Gu Nian couldn't help but finally laughed.
Luo Xiu regained his consciousness and sighed helplessly: "It's something related to you, so don't you worry at all?"
"Don't worry, I won't have anything to do." Gu Nian held his arm, leaned back beside him, and looked at the stars scattered in the night sky outside the glass wall above her head. She laughed, her eyes slightly bent. "And the past things are over, so I won't embarrass myself with the past things."
"" Luo Xiu stopped.
After a short while, someone sighed in the dimness.
Luo Xiu leaned on the girl's head and asked in a low voice, "When did you guess it?"
"Just now, otherwise I wouldn't have almost rushed into your bathroom because of this kind of thing."
"Guess it is because you haven't put it down yet?"
"Of course not, don't think about it," Gu Nian hugged his arm and said seriously: "It's easy to guess. I'm different from you. I have never dug so many holes. There is only one thing to hide. That's it. How easy to guess?"
"Really put it down?"
"Of course it is true," Gu Nian only missed a single word in a serious tone, "If I haven't passed that hurdle, how could I be so calm and use the blind branch account to post a message saying that I want to come back again?"
"..."
Gu Nian didn't hear a response after speaking, but only from the tightness of someone's muscles at this time, she could also perceive that Luo Xiu still hadn't come out of that emotional state.
Gu Nian had a headache and could only deliberately tease him: "Little Luo Xiu, you tell Teacher Gu, who are you angry with now?"
Luo Xiu was silent for a long time.
When he spoke, his voice was low and dumb, and the gentle lake seemed to be frozen into hard ice: "I'm afraid."
Gu Nian froze.
Several seconds passed before Gu Nian raised her eyes: "Are you... afraid?"
It is probably impossible for anyone who knows Luo Xiu's nature to associate the words "Luo Xiu" with "fear".
It should be taken for granted that others are afraid of him.
Luo Xiu's clenched fist stiffened to the extreme, shaking slowly, then let go. He suddenly turned sideways and took Gu Nian into his arms, the intensity of the hug tight to trembling.
The voice trembled.
"I'm afraid I saw you on the rooftop that day, but didn't go there...I'm afraid I will turn around and leave."
Gu Nian was startled.
Luo Xiu's voice is no longer the gentle and indifferent voice, he is like a scared, frightened, angry and weak child, can only hold tightly the treasure that he almost lost in his arms.
Luo Xiu closed his eyes vigorously, his voice was low and dull: "Think of that possibility..."
"There is no such possibility."
Gu Nian finally recovered, and she interrupted Luo Xiu without hesitation.
Gu Nian pulled it out of his arms, put her arm up against the beanie bag, and she looked at Luo Xiu very seriously and repeated it.
"There is no such possibility. Don't torture yourself with that impossible possibility. It is you who held me. This is an established fact."
The corners of Luo Xiu's eyes were red, and the gentle smile he was most used to, became sad and uneasy at this time: "Did I hold you."
"Well, you are the one who held me, only you held me." Gu Nian fell down and hugged Luo Xiu again. Her voice was soft and soothing, "So in this world, you should not blame yourself for this matter. It’s you who brought my life back from the edge of the cliff."
"..."
Time passed quietly.
Feeling that Luo Xiu's mood was calming down a little bit, Gu Nian finally let go of Gaoti's heart.
She cuddled in his arms and waited until his breathing became lighter before Gu Nian spoke again, half jokingly asking: "I've been so hard to conceal this matter, even Lin Nantian and my mother don't know. ,How did you know?"
Luo Xiu sighed lightly: "Scarf."
"? Scarf? What's around..." Gu Nian suddenly remembered something when he raised his head halfway, and asked in astonishment, "The card in the scarf I sent you back?"
"Ok."
"You still have it. You have made a mistake," Gu Nian went back, her voice dragged lazily, "That's the most precious gift you have ever received when you said you wanted to show me this afternoon?"
"Yes."
Gu Nian grumbled disappointedly: "I was in vain as if I was taking a battle bath, and I came out in a hurry, but it turned out to be just the scarf."
"..."
After silence, Luo Xiu lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Just?"
"Yup."
"Didn't it take three months to learn and finally weave it?"
"How do you know, "Raising Goose" 1.0, right? This potential'traitor'." Gu Nian suffocated, "Even after three months of studying, it is not the most precious."
"For me, yes."
Gu Nian raised his head unconvincedly: "For you, it is the most precious. What about me, am I better than a scarf?"
Luo Xiu: "It is the most precious gift I have ever received."
Gu Nian: "I know."
Luo Xiu: "If you give me as a gift, then you are."
Gu Nian: "Send it"
Gu Nian's voice almost stopped at the last line.
A few seconds later, she lifted her head from his arms blankly, "You dig a hole for me again."
Luo Xiu smiled faintly, raised his hand and rubbed her hair gently: "Am I following your meaning."
"What do I mean?"
"Follow me to make me forget about it?"
"..."
Gu Nian choked, and the guilty mood that was suddenly punctured almost didn't press down to expose her.
She sighed, "You, you didn't mention it, why should I deliberately tease you."
The corners of Luo Xiu's eyes drooped slightly, seemingly gentle: "Let me guess?"
Gu Nian regretted immediately: "No, no, don't guess, I'm not curious"
"Because you are afraid that I will remember, who forced you to go to that rooftop."
"..."
Gu Nian froze.
Luo Xiu laughed and lowered his eyes. His voice was low, like a tree full of peach blossoms in spring, and the petals of falling shoulders were soft as a lover's tender kiss:
"I want to kill Zheng Haolei."
"!"
The gentleness became an edge in a flash, and the petals were as cold as their throats were cut.
Gu Nian froze for a few seconds and suddenly returned to his senses, grasping Luo Xiu's hand. She couldn't say a word, but there were already endless words in those startled eyes.
Luo Xiu was right, this was what she feared the most. The more she understands the real him, the better she knows that the dragon's heart is like a knife stone quenched with poison, and every corner can cut a person to pieces.
If he is cruel...
In Gu Nian's panicked eyes, Luo Xiu lowered his eyes and smiled: "Since I told you, then I won't do this, right?"
Gu Nian clenched her hand, her voice was flustered: "Really not?"
Luo Xiu raised his hand to hug her and smiled softly: "I am a good citizen who abides by the law and discipline. How can I do such a thing?"
Gu Nian: "Then you just..."
"Just talk about it."
"..."
Gu Nian didn't believe it, he just talked about it.
Or to the extent that Luo Xiu can speak out, he may have deduced 108 plans in his mind.
But Gu Nian didn't dare to open it, she just hugged him back tighter: "Even for me, you can't do anything dangerous."
"I know."
Luo Xiu's eyes were cold, and then he half-dropped his eyes, and smiled and kissed Gu Nian's forehead lightly.
"It's for you, so I won't."
