Become a one-time character in a comic

Yu Xiaoan, a waitress, started packing her things in the employee lounge after get off work, carrying the bag given by the store. According to regulations, she could only leave through the employee passage.

As soon as I opened the door, I was startled by the sudden sound. The person who jumped in front of me and scared me was the childish Gu Mingxing.

Yu Xiaoan touched her heart and said, "You scared me."

Gu Mingxing saw that she was touching the man's chest, so he naturally grabbed her hand and took it away from where she was touching, and said calmly, "I'll pick you up after get off work."

She felt the warmth coming from his hand and shook his hand in return, asking, "How long have you been waiting here? Your hands are so cold."

"Only an hour."

"An hour?!" Yu Xiaoan was surprised as he took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, held his wrist and put them on him: "Are you crazy? You are wearing a suit and waiting here for an hour in such a cold weather."

Gu Mingxing said stupidly: "I'm not crazy, the suit is lined with fleece."

Although the light was dim, this fleece suit looked very stylish on him.

"You're still not crazy," Yu Xiaoan scolded him while putting another glove on him, "It's seven degrees tonight. I think you'll catch a cold tomorrow."

Gu Mingxing's eyes sparkled: "If I'm sick, will you take care of me?"

"No!" Yu Xiaoan glared at him fiercely: "I was afraid that you would infect me, didn't I tell you to go back? Why are you waiting for me to get off work?"

Gu Mingxing walked with her in a narrow passage that was only for employees. It was still a bit crowded for two adult men to walk together, and their shoulders bumped against each other.

"I just wanted to take a walk with you. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Yu Xiaoan sighed helplessly and asked, "What are you doing during this winter vacation?"

Gu Mingxing's eyelids trembled slightly. He couldn't really tell what he was doing during the winter break. He could only laugh and say, "I didn't do anything. I was a student and had so much homework. My parents were abroad, so I went there to spend the New Year."

Yu Xiaoan glanced at him and asked, "When did you go?"

"The second day of holiday."

Walking out of the staff passage, Yu Xiaoan said that the weather was cold and he was not wearing much, so she asked him to go back. However, Gu Mingxing was unusually stubborn today and refused to go back. He just wanted to talk to her again.

In desperation, Yu Xiaoan said, "Then let's go to your house. We can chat on the way, but I will leave after I send you back."

"it is good!"

The driver who was waiting for Gu Mingxing at the door wanted to call him after seeing him, but when the driver saw Gu Mingxing coldly made a "silence" gesture, the driver understood, nodded and said nothing.

When they arrived at the bus stop, Yu Xiaoan asked, "Is there no bus to pick you up?"

Gu Mingxing lied with a smile: "No, I was sent here, no one said they would send me back."

"Then let's take the bus together," Yu Xiaoan glanced at the time on his phone and said, "This is the last bus at this time, so it can just take you back."

It was impossible for Gu Mingxing to let her leave just after asking her to send him back. She certainly didn't know how much he missed her when he was abroad, but on the surface he still looked at her obediently and listened to her.

The phone showed that the bus would arrive in ten minutes. The two sat on a bench waiting for the bus. There were not so many cars on the road, and sometimes only three or four passed by on the road. Apart from the sound of the wheels moving at high speed on the ground, it was especially quiet in winter.

Yu Xiaoan exhaled, looked at the white smoke she exhaled and asked, "How did you recognize me today? No," she thought for a moment and said, "It feels like you recognized me many times, almost every time. How did you do it?"

Gu Mingxing smiled. It seemed that she didn't know her own speaking habits. She always spoke in a quirky way, and her head always moved slightly when she spoke. Especially every time she asked a question, the question was always spoken a little faster than a statement.

But today was an accident. This was the first time he saw her looking listless and in a bad mood, but she was who she was.

"This is my secret."

Yu Xiaoan was very curious about the answer to this question: "How can it be your secret? This is about me, can't I know it?"

Gu Mingxing looked at her tenderly. The light from the street lamps shattered in his eyes and became thousands of stars. "You have a unique language habit, so it's easy to recognize you."

Yu Xiaoan thought too much: "Is the way I speak or the tone of my voice weird?"

Gu Mingxing looked at her with a smile and said nothing.

Yu Xiaoan was concerned: "It's not really weird, is it? Can you tell me what's weird about it?"

"It's not surprising," Gu Mingxing said with a smile, "People who know him can recognize him as 'Yu Xiaoan' at a glance. He has unique characteristics."

"It's really not strange, it's just my personal characteristic?"

"Well, not surprising."

Yu Xiaoan felt relieved: "That's good."

Gu Mingxing looked at her and asked, "What did you originally look like?"

"It's just a very ordinary look, much worse than Bairuan."

"How can you be compared?" Gu Mingxing couldn't understand.

"In a comic book, unless there is a special plot requirement, the heroines are all very pretty. Some are cute, some are cool, and some are simply pretty. No matter how the plot develops, the heroines in the comic book are all pretty in the end," Yu Xiaoan said calmly, "but I am just an ordinary person with an ordinary appearance. If you throw me into a crowd, I won't have any special features."

Gu Mingxing disagreed with her point of view: "Then you are the beautiful one named 'Yu Xiaoan'."

Yu Xiao looked at the ground for two seconds, then smiled: "You will definitely be liked by many girls. Even if they don't like you in a romantic way, they will still have a good impression of you."

Gu Mingxing looked at her: "No, they won't like me."

"How is that possible?" Yu Xiaoan looked into his eyes and said with a smile, "You know that what attracts boys the most are those little details. You did a great job. You won't have to worry about not having a girlfriend in the future. Plus, you look good too. There will definitely be girls who are attracted to you."

Gu Mingxing looked at her and slapped her arm jokingly. He wanted to tell her that such a thing would not happen because those people were not you, not Yu Xiaoan who would keep changing and he couldn't catch her.

Yu Xiaoan seemed to have sensed some of his emotions, but she was pretending, pretending not to know, pretending not to notice, pretending that she felt nothing.

Because it seems that once you know, many things will change, including this world.

The bus arrived at the stop, and Yu Xiaoan found that he didn't know how to take the bus. She laughed at him and paid for him. They sat together. Yu Xiaoan realized later that he didn't know how to take the bus because he had never taken a bus before.

"Gu Mingxing, I hate you a little bit."

"Ah?" Gu Mingxing was confused by her groundless words. Why did she suddenly hate him?

"I was laughing at you for not knowing how to take the bus, but just now I remembered that your family is rich and you don't need to take the bus. Why can't there be another rich person like me in this world..."

"Don't become a rich person!" Gu Mingxing suddenly grabbed her arm excitedly. After realizing that his action was too radical, he immediately corrected himself: "I mean, well... your current life is pretty good. Being ordinary is good enough."

Yu Xiaoan saw that he was hesitant and didn't want to explain clearly, so she didn't ask why. She looked at the moving streets outside the window and said, "It seems that rich people also have their own worries." She asked jokingly, "How about you give me the money and I'll worry for you?"

Gu Mingxing smiled but didn't say anything. He didn't want her to know what the darkness in some parts of the world was like. It was simply not something a human could do.

After this trip abroad, he saw a lot and realized a lot. He realized that this world is not only a human world, but also a non-human world, where people eat people, dogs bite people, people bite dogs, and dogs bite dogs.

He looked at Yu Xiaoan who was admiring the scenery outside the window. She just wanted to see the current scenery. The closer she got to the inhuman world, the dirtier and more dangerous it would be.

Putrefaction, ulceration, pus, stench, and blood, he didn't want her to see the scene when these words actually unfolded.

After arriving at the station, Yu Xiaoan pointed to the upscale-looking residential area and asked, "Is this where you live?"

Gu Mingxing smiled and nodded.

"Although I expected your family to be rich, I didn't expect it to be this rich."

The two were walking side by side, and Yu Xiaoan was startled by the security guard's sudden words, "Welcome home, owner."

Although it was night, Yu Xiaoan could see that the lawns in the community were carefully maintained, the trees were rare species, and there were flowers blooming in the flower beds. She also saw the bridge.

It was really the first time that Yu Xiaoan saw a bridge in the community. Although the bridge was not long, it was rare and outrageous for her to have a flowing stream. Not only that, there was also a pavilion next to the stream. The outside of the pavilion was surrounded by mansha, which looked antique and beautiful.

She looked a little pale, looking at the road under her feet, she was wondering how many steps she had taken from the time she came in to here, and how much ground each step had been on.

When she walked into the elevator, she was surprised again. The elevator did not require clicking on floors, but swiping cards. Gu Mingxing casually took out an exquisite card from her pocket, scanned it on the scanner, and the elevator started.

When the elevator reached the floor and opened its door, what Yu Xiaoan saw was not the door, but the furnishings in the room.

The furnishings in the house also shocked Yu Xiaoan a little. This is not a home, but a model house...

"Are you sure this is your home?"

Gu Mingxing casually placed the card on the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of slippers from the cabinet and placed them in front of her feet: "It's just a house."

Yu Xiaoan said as she changed her shoes: "I originally thought Beibei's house was very high-end, but I didn't expect this to be a new world."

“Aren’t they all pretty much the same?”

"It's a big difference," Yu Xiaoan followed him and sat on the sofa. "Although they are all houses, the different levels of service, environment, location, etc. determine the value of the house. You have both subway and bus here, and you are in the city center," she pointed to the balcony and said, "You can see the river directly over there. It's a river view room, very expensive!"

Gu Mingxing poured two glasses of orange juice in the kitchen, placed one in front of her and one in front of himself, then sat next to her: "Do you know anything about houses?"

"Of course," Yu Xiaoan was a little thirsty, and drank half a glass of orange juice and said, "When I was working, I thought about making money to buy myself a house. I didn't dare to look at houses in the city center, but only in the suburbs. I thought it was good to be close to the subway." She shook her head helplessly, "The gap between people is too big."

Gu Mingxing looked at her and said with a smile: "If you like, I can give you this house."

Yu Xiaoan looked at him in shock. He asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

She looked at him carefully: "How can you make giving a house as casual as giving a cake?"

Gu Mingxing smiled, and then his actions shocked Yu Xiaoan even more. He took out a red notebook from the drawer under the coffee table, and then placed it in front of Yu Xiaoan casually as if a teacher was handing out test papers to students.

"Here's the property certificate. Here you are."

Yu Xiaoan was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Gu Mingxing waved his hand in front of her to bring her back to her senses.

"You just put the property certificate here?!"

"Where else should I put it?"

Yu Xiaoan lowered his head and held his forehead: "Don't talk for now, let me sort out the gap between us."

Gu Mingxing just looked at her with a smile, waited for her, and observed her cute expression.

Her expressions are really rich, sometimes surprised, sometimes helpless, sometimes thinking, sometimes selfless.

Yu Xiaoan sat with his legs apart, leaning forward slightly, his arms on his thighs, his hands folded, his chin supported, and asked him as if he was asking a serious question: "Your family is so rich, why do you still want to go to No. 11 Middle School? You can definitely go to a better aristocratic school."

She felt that after asking this question, Gu Mingxing's expression changed, and he seemed not to want to answer.

If a person does not want to answer a question, it is either because he does not know the answer to the question, or the answer to the question cannot be known to the questioner, or he does not want to say the answer to the question because that answer is something he does not want to recall.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

"Don't you want to know?"

Yu Xiaoan leaned back on the sofa and said in a relaxed manner: "Although I want to know and am very curious, you don't have to say it if you don't want to. You will naturally say it when you want to."

"I'll tell you, but not now."

Yu Xiaoan looked at his somewhat gloomy face. She turned her head away, pretending not to see his expression, and said, "You are really like a Pandora's box, mysterious but full of temptations, arousing curiosity, making people want to open it and see what's inside, but I'm not the one who opens the box."

"Why aren't you?"

Yu Xiaoan looked at him and said with a smile: "Because this box will open itself for me to see."

Gu Mingxing laughed out loud, and he also leaned back on the sofa, imitating her movements and relaxing together.

Yu Xiaoan glanced at his smiling face and closed her eyes. The words she had just said were based on the fact that Gu Mingxing had special feelings for her. If they were really friends, she would not be able to say those words.

This is the feeling of being fearless, being pampered and being able to speak without restraint.

"Gu Mingxing, thank you..."

Gu Mingxing also closed his eyes. He could feel Yu Xiaoan was right next to him.

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for being my friend. It makes me feel that this world is a little more real," Yu Xiaoan didn't finish her words. She left a message - thank you for always being able to find me.

She didn't say it, so Gu Mingxing didn't know.

Gu Mingxing whispered: "Thank you for allowing me to be your friend." Gu Mingxing also had something to say - thank you for adding color to my life.

He didn't say it, so Yu Xiaoan didn't know.
