Ryan Zhuang was a little embarrassed after answering, because he had never had a conflict with his friends before, and he didn't know how to deal with it, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden for several days. So when Jake Gu came to his house, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
But at this moment, Jake Gu thought that Ryan Zhuang cared so much about his attitude, which was a good sign!
The two of them stood stupidly on the steps for a while, their hands loosened, until the German Shepherd finished eating the biscuits and ran out. Jake Gu knocked on the dog's head, feeling that the dog's loyalty was not good, and he would take away anyone who gave him food.
Ryan Zhuang stroked the dog's fur lovingly and said, "pc39007, shake hands."
Jake Gu estimated that Ryan Zhuang would never remember the German Shepherd's police number in his lifetime. Forget it, 007 is also good, James Bond. He decided: "Let's change the dog's name to Bond. Can you remember it?"
Ryan Zhuang muttered, "What's there to remember?"
I am not afraid of stupid people, I am afraid of stupid people who don't know it. Jake Gu was speechless. It was not as cool outside as inside the building, and the German Shepherd couldn't stay and ran in again, not treating himself as a dog outside at all.
Jake Gu and Ryan Zhuang followed into the living room. There were schoolbags and painting tubes on the sofa. It was obvious that Ryan Zhuang had not gone upstairs after returning home. Jake Gu thought silently, Ryan Zhuang has been watching TV in the living room? Doesn't that mean she has been waiting for him?
He asked, "Have you been waiting for me to come?"
Ryan Zhuang was startled when he heard this: "No." He weighed the remote control in his hand, thinking about how to say it to save face, "I wanted to watch TV, and you happened to come over."
Jake Gu said cunningly: "I came here pretty quickly, didn't I?"
"What's so fast about that?" Ryan Zhuang immediately denied, "I've already finished watching two episodes of this crappy TV series, and you're just now coming to look for me."
After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, and then he looked at Jake Gu's slightly frivolous smile, and realized that he had blurted out the truth. He felt embarrassed and very angry, so he simply shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Jake Gu's words at that time made the atmosphere awkward and they ignored each other for several days. Now that seduction with the dog failed, he had to take the initiative to go to the other party to reconcile. After the reconciliation, he acted as if the other party cared about him.
In the few seconds of silence, he suddenly confessed: "Actually, I looked for you three or four times in the past few days."
Ryan Zhuang felt relieved: "Actually, I check my phone often...but you didn't send anything."
Jake Gu said, "I want to tell you in person." But that was not enough. He saw that Ryan Zhuang's expression was particularly gentle, so he added, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I want to see you too."
Ryan Zhuang couldn't wait any longer and stood up suddenly: "I'll get you an ice cream!"
He quickly hid in the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and wanted to stick his head in to cool down. Oh my god, aren't all the men in the north strong? Why is this man Jake Gu so sour!
After taking an ice cream for ten minutes, Ryan Zhuang returned to the living room and watched TV with Jake Gu across the big dog. When the sun was almost setting, Jake Gu took the dog and said goodbye, and Ryan Zhuang got up and walked him to the door.
The sunset glow faded away, and the sky was dark. Ryan Zhuang turned on the light at the door. The light was hanging on the left wall, with a small piece of colorful hemp rope hanging down. Ryan Zhuang could reach it by standing on tiptoe. But it seemed that the wind was blowing, and the hemp rope was tangled in the lamp holder. He tried several times but failed.
Jake Gu stood at the back, took the opportunity to take a half step forward, raised his hand and untied the hemp rope bit by bit. He was very close to Ryan Zhuang, his arms covering Ryan Zhuang's head, and Ryan Zhuang wanted to take a step forward, but he pressed down on his shoulders to stop him.
"What are you doing?" Ryan Zhuang felt oppressed by the tall man.
Jake Gu untied the rope, grabbed Ryan Zhuang's wrist from behind and lifted him up, stuffed the knot at the end to him, and then took a step back: "Pull it yourself, no one will laugh at you for being short."
With a click, the lights came on and they stood in the soft light.
Ryan Zhuang turned around and saw a small figure in the distance. Ava Gu ran over and bumped into Jake Gu's legs, panting and saying, "Brother, go home for dinner."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ryan Zhuang, and the child couldn't hold back her words: "Brother Zhuang, I went to see the new school today!"
Ryan Zhuang asked: "Which school are you going to?"
"It's an international elementary school, the school uniforms are pretty nice!" Ava Gu was very satisfied, touching her braids and said, "There will be foreign teachers during the interview, I also want to style my hair like that."
Ryan Zhuang originally planned to get her hair straightened tomorrow, as it was something that could be done while taking care of the child. Ava Gu immediately let go of Jake Gu and made an appointment with Ryan Zhuang to get a haircut together tomorrow.
At night, Ryan Zhuang carried a painting tube and went into the studio on the second floor to complete an unfinished design draft. On the paper was a gem ring, shown from three angles, and there were still some details that needed to be processed.
Ryan Zhuang's grandparents were in the jewelry export business in their early years, and later settled in Los Angeles to run a jewelry company. Probably influenced by this, he has been fond of all kinds of jewelry since he was a child, and became fascinated with jewelry design when he grew up.
He worked until late at night to finish the design, and sent the draft to the client for review. If the client was satisfied, he would receive a payment in two days. Jake Gu gave him a pair of sneakers worth several thousand yuan, and he wanted to give him something of similar value in return, so he had to earn some money through labor first.
Ryan Zhuang went to bed at 3 o'clock in the morning.
I was woken up by the news from the boys’ group. It was weird. How could a group of people who only got up at noon be so excited so early in the morning?
He lay on the pillow and squinted: "What happened?"
Sports Committee: "Look at the class announcement!"
Ryan Zhuang checked the class group and saw that Xia Wei had asked about the homework completion status early in the morning and reminded that there were only two days left before the start of school. Didn't everyone get together to finish their homework that day? He asked, "Didn't you finish it last time?"
Qi Nan: "I was just busy eating cake."
Ten minutes later, the monitor finalized the schedule: "Since the cakes at the Creative Park are not delicious, let's meet at the cafe next to the library at 9 a.m."
Ryan Zhuang turned over and rubbed his hair, suddenly remembering that he had to get it straightened today. He immediately sent a message: "Sorry, I'm not going!" and then pressed the Do Not Disturb button amid the condemnation.
After another nap, Ryan Zhuang woke up on time, packed up and took two ice creams to go out. Ava Gu was punctual, dressed up beautifully and standing at the door, and Jake Gu was also there.
Ava Gu said: "My brother paid."
Ryan Zhuang handed over the ice cream: "Then you two can eat it together."
Ava Gu was not very happy and only let Jake Gu take a bite, so Jake Gu took a bite and only a cone was left. Ava Gu went crazy and chased Jake Gu and beat him, just like the day they arrived in Rongcheng.
The barbershop was not far away. Because it was the weekend, there were more customers than usual. They waited in the rest area for a haircut. Brothers and sisters did not hold grudges overnight. Ava Gu was clinging to Jake Gu at this moment, and said in the same way as she acted like a spoiled child to Gu Shibo and Xue Manzi: "Brother, you can still do beauty treatments. How about I try?"
Jake Gu said: "The child died after having a beauty treatment."
Ryan Zhuang almost burst into tears. Why was he scaring the child? He was just trying to make Ava Gu happy. As an only child, he didn't understand Jake Gu's sadness at all.
Jake Gu lowered his head to play with his phone and saw that his best friend Lu Wen had posted a message on WeChat Moments. The photo was a boarding pass with private information covered. He wondered where he was going to show off again.
Suddenly, he felt an itch near his ear. He turned his head and saw many people waiting for a seat. They were sitting very crowded, and Ryan Zhuang's hair accidentally rubbed against him. The hair was slightly curled and shone with a soft luster.
Jake Gu stared at Ryan Zhuang's hair, feeling a little reluctant.
The puppy-like, mixed-breed-like curly hair will be ruthlessly straightened in a moment.
He couldn't help but raise his phone, turned on the camera without thinking, and unconsciously turned his body to one side, and then naturally framed Ryan Zhuang in the picture. However, the distance was too close, and Ryan Zhuang almost immediately turned her head to look at him, meeting his gaze through the camera.
Jake Gu remained calm and even adjusted the angle.
Ryan Zhuang asked: "What are you doing?"
Jake Gu scratched his brow with his fingertips and said, "Selfie."
Ryan Zhuang smiled, and Jake Gu pressed the shutter.
Finally, they got their turn in line. Ryan Zhuang and Ava Gu went to get their hair done, while Jake Gu sat on the sofa playing games. At first it was fine, but after four games, he found that the two hairstyles, one big and one small, remained unchanged.
Jake Gu was really naive. He thought that doing hair would only take one class period, but an hour passed and there was still no sign of it being over.
To put it more ambiguously, Jake Gu was no different from the men waiting for their wives and children to go shopping in a department store. His eyes gradually turned cold, and he wanted a divorce and no longer wanted custody of the couple.
Jake Gu wears headphones to sleep. His usual playlist contains nearly a hundred songs, which are played randomly. He falls asleep when his cochlea becomes numb.
Three hours later, Ava Gu got his hair permed into beautiful waves as he wished. He rushed to the rest area to wake up Jake Gu and said happily, "Brother, I've got my hair permed!"
Jake Gu opened his eyes in shock: "You look as old as a sixth grader."
He rubbed his brows, wanting to ask which unreliable person had made his sister like this, and stood up and looked around. There were many hairstylists, but Ryan Zhuang was not seen. Ava Gu pulled him to find her, saying that Ryan Zhuang was drying her hair and would be done soon.
Jake Gu let the little brat lead him as he walked around a row of dressing tables and several swivel chairs. He turned around occasionally and unexpectedly saw Ryan Zhuang behind a mirror.
The man sat upright, his apron still on, revealing a long, thin neck. His curly hair had disappeared, replaced by thousands of straight, soft hairs. The aunties who were getting their hair permed were yawning, the hair dryers were making a lot of noise, and the receptionists were arguing about how much discount they should give. Amid the noise and chaos of people coming and going, Ryan Zhuang sat there, quiet and well-behaved.
He looked up: "Are you okay?"
Jake Gu stared at the face, his mixed-blood look faded, but his eyes became clearer. This was a good opportunity to praise the other person, but he seemed guilty and lied stiffly: "That's it."
Just then the headphones sang---when i'm by your side, lost in your eyes. I passed by you and was intoxicated by your eyes.
Damn, who is this singer? How come you are the only one who knows this?!
