The evening breeze blew gently across the river, creating ripples that seemed to be telling stories.
Gu Xu held Lan Ruosi's hand tightly, fearing that Lan Ruosi would lose it accidentally.
Lan Ruosi clenched her fist, and the whole fist was wrapped by Gu Xu's big hand.
Gu Xu felt that her hands were so cold and small, and she was still trembling.
She must be very insecure inside!
Lan Ruosi wanted to throw away Gu Xu's hand and run away by herself. But, is there any safer way than following Gu Xu?
What if she runs away by herself and meets Huang Xuanxuan again?
Having been classmates with Huang Xuanxuan for two years, she knew very well that Huang Xuanxuan had a very strong desire for revenge. If she fell into her hands again, her life would probably be worse than death.
The two of them ran forward and came to the river.
The alley of Lan Ruosijia leads to a river at the end. This river passes through the city and merges into the sea to the east.
The two ran for a while and couldn't run anymore, so they stood by the river to rest.
Gu Xu sat slumped on the grass by the river, and Lan Ruosi sat next to him.
Gu Xu still held Lan Ruosi's hand tightly.
Lan Ruosi hurriedly took her hand out, and her face suddenly turned red. Just now, Gu Xu pulled her, which was excusable, but now, he is still holding her, and she feels uncomfortable.
Gu Xu smiled. Every time she was shy, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Lan Ruosi was surprised. She didn't know why Gu Xu was laughing.
"This is the first time you've spoken to me."
Lan Ruosi turned her head away, deliberately avoiding Gu Xu's eyes. She thought about it, and it seemed like this.
Lan Ruosi thought for a while, "Why are you here?"
Gu Xu said nothing.
Lan Ruosi suddenly asked again: "Are you following me?"
"You're overthinking it, I'm not!" Gu Xu immediately denied it.
However, he does stalk her.
Gu Xu didn't follow Lan Ruosi originally.
But because there were too many people on the previous bus, Lan Ruosi didn't get on, so Gu Xu chased after her.
Gu Xu was afraid of causing her misunderstanding, so he did not go through the front door, but went up from the middle door.
Along the way, Gu Xu didn't go to look for Lan Ruosi, but just looked at her quietly.
When he was about to get off the car, Gu Xu deliberately walked to the back end of the car. He hid in the crowd and waited for Lan Ruosi to get off before he got off.
He discovered that Lan Ruosi ran very fast. He wondered why she ran so fast.
It seems that he didn't avoid him intentionally last time.
After Lan Ruosi got out of the car, Gu Xu followed her.
He followed her to her house. Lan Ruosi's house was an old-fashioned bungalow. After she entered the house, she put down her schoolbag and went directly into the kitchen.
Gu Xu wanted to leave, but he wanted to wander around her house to see her living environment.
When he came out again, he found that she was about to walk out, so he followed her again, wanting to see where she was going.
As a result, I saw this scene.
When Gu Xu saw Huang Xuanxuan throwing away the lunch box for the first time, he originally thought of it. However, Huang Xuanxuan did not throw it away, so he waited a moment to see what Huang Xuanxuan was going to do.
Later, when he saw Huang Xuanxuan preparing to hit the girl he loved, how could he still hide? Of course, he immediately came out to rescue her.
Gu Xu thought about what happened today and felt a little scared. He was glad that he didn't leave at that time, otherwise, who knows how she would have been bullied again?
"Then why did you happen to show up here?" Lan Ruosi asked slowly.
"I walked along the river and came here." Gu Xu didn't tell her so many things because he was afraid of having negative effects if he told her too much.
Lan Ruosi looked unbelieving.
"Please, how about my family living nearby!" Gu Xu explained again.
He had already made up his mind to say this. In this way, he won't be so passive when he creates chance encounters in the future.
Why!
He didn't know when he would meet her by chance.
Lan Ruosi was dubious.
Gu Xu deliberately changed the subject: "Who were you going to deliver food to just now?"
Lan Ruosi said nothing.
Gu Xu said and handed the money to Lan Ruosi.
Lan Ruosi didn't answer.
"Take it!" Gu Xu put the money into her hand.
Lan Ruosi didn't ask or speak.
Gu Xu was anxious: "Just take it! If they broke your stuff, you should really give it to you."
Lan Ruosi sank deeply and felt panicked in her heart. Gu Xu was right, this was what they should give her, but she always felt that it was not good.
She didn't speak.
Gu Xu became even more anxious: "Let's go!"
Gu Xu said, holding Lan Ruosi's hand and walking forward.
"Wherever you want to take me, I will go by myself." Lan Ruosi shook off his hand.
Gu Xu wanted to say, when I pulled you to run just now, I didn't see you let go of my hand. Are you going to be shy now?
Forget it, stop joking about his classmate Lan. She is like a frightened bird now. If something happens again, she will be in trouble. It is better to just follow her.
Gu Xu walked in front: "Then you follow me, I will take you to buy a takeaway! The meal you just brought was for your mother, right! The rice was knocked over, so you have to buy another one for her. ."
Lan Ruosi suddenly raised her head and looked at him with a "how do you know" look.
"I guessed it right!" Gu Xu knew he was right by looking at her expression.
"Okay, just follow me and I'll take care of this for you!"

Campo de' Fiori.
Lan Yaqin looked around. According to the usual time calculation, Lan Ruosi should have been here a long time ago, but she didn't see anyone yet.
As a mother, she was very worried: something must have happened.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she saw Lan Ruosi walking towards her.
"You damn girl, where have you been? Why are you here so late?" She said and looked at Lan Ruosi's hands, which were empty. "Where's the food?"
She had been waiting for so long and was already hungry.
Lan Ruosi lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "The rice was knocked over on the way."
"Knocked over?" Lan Yaqin's voice rose. He raised his hand and was about to hit her, but stopped in mid-air. "You damn girl, why aren't you careful? That's money! Mom works so hard to make money every day. You don’t know how to save your worries for me.”
"I……"
Lan Ruosi was about to say something.
Lan Yaqin lectured again: "The rice was spilled, where was it spilled?"
"The entrance to the alley at home."
"At the entrance of the alley?" Lan Yaqin became even angrier, "I overturned it. You won't make another one. Even if you don't, you can just buy me a bun on the way. Come here empty-handed now." I want your mother to starve to death!"
Lan Yaqin was really furious. She had been busy since the morning and only ate one steamed bun. She thought she would have food for dinner in the evening, but who knows, there was nothing.
"Why did I raise such an unsatisfactory daughter like you? She can't do anything well!"
"Auntie, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Don't blame her." Gu Xu stood up when he saw this.
He put the dinner in his hand on the fruit stand, "This is your dinner. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Lan Yaqin looked at Gu Xu, very confused. She looked at Lan Ruosi again: "What's going on?"
