Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

"Senior Gu?"

Zhou Niantang was a little surprised to see the person coming. She hadn't seen Gu Junzhe for a long time.

The last time she was hospitalized, I heard that Gu Junzhe went to see her, but she was still in a coma at that time.

In fact, they were not very familiar with each other, and she felt it was quite a surprise that he could go to see her.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Gu Junzhe had been busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam recently. Finally, the results came out yesterday and he was admitted. He finally breathed a sigh of relief now.

He looked around the store, "Are you alone?"

Zhou Niantang nodded: "Yes, everyone else has gone home after get off work."

A visitor is a guest. Zhou Niantang made tea in the reception room and asked him to sit down.

When Zhou Niantang heard Gu Junzhe say that he was about to work in the research institute, she was very happy for him. She had heard Yun Zhi say before that Gu Junzhe had been working very hard for this goal.

"Congratulations, senior. May your wish come true."

"Thank you. I have put a lot of things on hold for this goal these days, so I thought of coming to your place today."

Gu Junzhe observed Zhou Niantang and found that she was in very good condition. She was completely different from the frail person he saw lying on the hospital bed more than two months ago.

Knowing that she should be fully recovered both physically and mentally now, he secretly thought about telling her what he was thinking.

During these two months, while he was busy preparing for the exam, he also thought about his feelings for Zhou Niantang.

He really liked her, and he knew it a long time ago.

Zhou Yunqi had talked to him before, and asked him to approach her and stay with her before Zhou Niantang was diagnosed with depression.

He refused at the time and never regretted it afterwards.

He always believed that love for a person does not require any outsider to interfere or add fuel to the flames.

Especially Zhou Yunqi's behavior of controlling her sister's life in her own hands seemed absurd to him.

But then he thought again, he did like Zhou Niantang, even though in his opinion, the Zhou family was beyond his reach.

Even though Zhou Yunqi's attitude and methods at the time made him extremely uncomfortable.

But he did get Zhou Yunqi's permission, so he could boldly pursue Zhou Niantang. As long as Zhou Niantang agreed, there would be no obstacles.

Now that he has found a job he likes, he can finally focus on it.

"Tangtang." But when the words came to his lips, Gu Junzhe suddenly didn't know how to start.

Should I just say I like you? Or should I say something else first?

"Hmm?" Zhou Niantang saw the hesitation on Gu Junzhe's face and didn't think too much about it, thinking that he had encountered some difficulties.

"Senior, do you have anything you can tell me directly?"

The girl in front of him had a pair of sparkling eyes filled with encouragement.

Gu Junzhe immediately gathered his thoughts and put down the teacup in his hand.

Seeing his serious look, Zhou Niantang also sat up straight. She thought Gu Junzhe really had something very important to say.

"Perhaps your first impression of me was the night when Luo Ze confessed his love to me, right?"

Zhou Niantang nodded. It was true that she had just met Gu Junzhe that night.

"But actually, I have been keeping an eye on you for a long time."

During his undergraduate years, Zhou Niantang often went to their department to find Luo Ze and Yun Zhi. Sometimes they would make plans to have dinner together, and Zhou Niantang would go to the club to find Luo Ze and others. When he saw that they were busy, he would sit aside and wait obediently.

Zhou Niantang is a person who is hard to ignore, but she herself never seems to have that awareness.

She is very pretty and seems to have a good personality, so many boys talk about her behind her back.

He never took part in discussions, but always listened attentively to things about her.

It was only later that he realized that perhaps he had a good impression of Zhou Niantang at that time.

It's just that he was too busy, busy with the preparation for admission to graduate school and participating in some competitions, in order to improve his resume and move towards his desired goals.

So ignore these things.

Until the day when Luo Ze confessed his love to Yun Zhi, he deliberately walked and stood behind Zhou Niantang so that he could have close contact with her.

Later on, I thought she and Pei Shi had that kind of relationship...

When she told him no, the joy she felt was greater than any previous academic progress he had made.

Now, after this period of time, he finally wants to pursue her formally.

As Zhou Niantang listened to Gu Junzhe's words, he went from being confused at first to gradually becoming certain.

She probably knew what Gu Junzhe was going to say next.

She pursed her lips, wondering how to respond.

In fact, she has had quite a lot of experience in rejecting other people's confessions.

When she graduated from high school and was in college, boys would often show their affection to her and confess their love to her.

She herself feels that she has never met most people, so although she will try to be tactful when refusing, she does not feel any burden in her heart.

Even though Xie Xiaotang confessed to her that time, perhaps because they were too familiar with each other, they still got along like normal even after she rejected him.

Today that person turned out to be Gu Junzhe, and she suddenly didn’t know what to say.

I'm not very familiar with her, but I've cared about her before and she seems like a very nice person.

While she was still thinking about it, Gu Junzhe also got to the point.

"So, I want to say that I like you, maybe even earlier than I thought before."

After Gu Junzhe finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Niantang's slightly conflicted expression and his heart sank.

Even before she said it, he already knew the answer.

But it doesn’t matter. Just because you don’t accept it at the moment, it doesn’t mean it will be like this in the future.

He was just about to say that he was going to pursue her when he heard a noise from the reception room door.

The two people on the sofa looked over at the same time.

A man in formal attire stood outside the reception room door, one hand still in the gesture of knocking on the door.

Zhou Niantang met his secretive eyes and felt guilty for no reason. He was glad that the door of the reception room was not closed.

“You…you’re here.”

Pei Shi glanced at Gu Junzhe who was sitting next to Zhou Niantang, and moved his lips, "Well, I'm here to pick up my girlfriend and take her home."

Zhou Niantang: ...She didn’t ask him what he was here for!

Gu Junzhe was originally still nervous, but now after hearing what Pei Shi said, what else did he not understand?

Although Zhou Niantang said last time that they were not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it has indeed been several months.

There were too many changes in between.

He understood instantly.

When Zhou Yunqi approached him, he rejected her verbally. His self-esteem and his unwillingness to let people think he was trying to curry favor with rich people made him completely lose the opportunity to pursue Zhou Niantang.

The bitterness in his heart gradually deepened. When he met Pei Shi's dark eyes, he saw a possessive and determined look in them.

He knew he lost.

At this point, he could only maintain the dignity he could still control and stood up to say goodbye.

After seeing Gu Junzhe off, Zhou Niantang sighed and turned back to the reception room.

She had already thought of her words, but was interrupted so directly by someone. She felt that it was a bit cruel to Gu Junzhe.

On the other hand, she realized belatedly that Pei Shi spoke so bluntly because he might have heard Gu Junzhe say that he liked her.

Would he be jealous? Would she have to coax him?
