The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Gu An was wearing a well-tailored suit and was about to go to the company, but he didn't expect that the residence he subconsciously chose was opposite Lu Shi's apartment.

The moment their eyes met, his mind couldn't help but reappear with the words that Gu Yi said that day.

Lu Shi is his girlfriend.

If this is true, they haven't broken up yet...

Thinking of this, Gu An unconsciously pursed his lips, his throat a little dry. He lowered his eyes and greeted, "Hello."

Lu Shi obviously hadn't expected to meet Gu An at this moment. She replied blankly, "Hello, too."

"..."

For a moment, the air around seemed to freeze and fell into deathly silence.

The two of them just stood there quietly, staring at each other, but neither knew how to break the awkward silence.

In the end, Lu Shi couldn't stand it anymore. She was already very sleepy and just wanted to go back to her room and have a good sleep.

So, she tried to open her eyes, which were about to blur, and said to Gu An, "Are you going to the company? I wish you good luck in your work."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Shi turned around, opened the door, and quickly slipped into the house.

As the door slammed shut, Gu An outside the door looked a little dazed. He stared straight at the tightly closed door, and a deep sense of helplessness inexplicably surged in his heart.

It seems like things shouldn't be like this between them...

But what would that be like?

Gu An couldn't figure it out.

This question kept circling in Gu An's mind, making him feel extremely confused and bewildered.

As a result, he was absent-minded and distracted throughout the entire working day, and was completely unable to concentrate on the matters at hand.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu!"

The assistant called out several times before finally pulling Gu An back to reality from his chaotic thoughts.

"Ok?"

"It's like this, there's a document here that urgently needs your signature." The assistant walked to the desk respectfully and carefully handed the document to Gu An.

Gu An raised his head slightly, nodded expressionlessly, and then reached out to take the document.

He gently opened the document, his eyes focused and sharp, and carefully read it line by line.

Time passed minute by minute, and the office was unusually quiet, with only the occasional sound of shuffling papers.

After a careful review, Gu An confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the document. He picked up the pen on the table and signed his name smoothly.

The handwriting is strong and powerful, revealing a decisiveness and confidence.

After the assistant left with the documents, Gu An threw his pen aside, leaned back in his chair, rubbed his temples, then stood up and walked to the window.

Looking down from a high place, the whole city seems to be in sight.

Tall buildings stand side by side, and the streets are bustling with traffic and pedestrians. The constant flow of vehicles coming and going is like a series of flowing ribbons interwoven together.

The people who were rushing on their way were all busy with their own things. Some were chatting and laughing, while others looked serious, but without exception they were all moving forward in the predetermined direction.

Everyone seemed to know exactly where they were going and what they were supposed to do, and they made their choices without hesitation at every intersection.

What about himself?

He seemed to be like this before.

He knows clearly what he wants to do and has clear goals. Even though he is very tired every day, his life is still in order.

He was like a pen that repeatedly drew straight lines, rushing along the predetermined track, as if he could see the end of his life at a glance.

However, since some time ago, everything has changed.

The pen tip that suddenly starts to spin is like the trajectory of one's life. Every turn brings new changes and uncertainties.

Therefore, he is always looking forward to the next turning point.

He hopes to see the scenery he likes.

But what kind of scenery does he like?

Gu An thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

His mind seemed to be covered with a veil, and the truth was buried along with it. He was like a traveler walking in the desert, eager to get out of the predicament, but he could not find a way, and his desire for the truth became more and more intense.

Perhaps he should face it.

Lu Shi...

Gu An silently repeated the name in his mind, and his heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate.

He raised his hand and slowly covered his chest, and began to believe what Gu Yi said.

His heart seemed to be fond of her.

Maybe it's time to have a good chat.

With this in mind, Gu An almost watched the time and left work on time at night.

But when I got home, I was still faced with that closed door.

Is she at home, or has she gone out and not come back yet?

Gu An was undecided. After pressing the doorbell several times without receiving any response, he returned to his room in disappointment.

He kept paying attention to the movements outside the room, but his hopes were dashed.

Seeing that the time on his phone was almost two in the morning, Gu An finally gave up.

Lu Shi slept for two days, and when he woke up it was already the third night.

She calculated that she would wake up at this time, just in time for dinner.

Lu Shijing took out his cell phone, ordered two takeouts, and waited for the takeout to arrive.

Just as she was about to take out her phone to play for a while, the doorbell suddenly rang.

At this time, the takeaway shouldn’t arrive so quickly.

As he was thinking, Lu Shi got up and opened the door.

Outside the door was an auntie whom Lu Shi had met once before. She had spoken a few words to Lu Shi when she was cleaning across the street.

The aunt was holding a small paper box in her hand. Lu Shi asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

Auntie smiled kindly and said, "Girl, these are some snacks I made. I brought some to you. You and my husband are neighbors, so we should help each other in the future."

"Your husband?"

It was her aunt's words that reminded Lu Shi of the person she met when she returned home.

"Is it Gu An?"

Auntie's eyes lit up, "So you really know my husband."

Lu Shi nodded, "I know him, but she may not know me."

Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in the aunt's eyes: "How could it be?"

Although she had intended to bring her some snacks, it was her husband who brought it up first today.

She came to cook for her husband today and also prepared to deliver the baked cookies and snacks.

Her husband looked at the snacks she placed on the table and asked, "Auntie, are you planning to give these away?"

She smiled and nodded, and replied softly, "Yes, sir, I was thinking of giving these to the little girl who lives across the street."

When her husband heard this, he felt a little impatient, so he asked her to come out and deliver snacks.

So how could his husband not know this girl?

Although she thought so in her heart, Auntie did not show it.

At this moment, she knew very well that she should complete the important task assigned to her by her husband as soon as possible.

So she smiled again and said, "Girl, you haven't cooked yet tonight, right? Why don't you go to my husband's house and have a meal? My husband also wants to have a good relationship with his neighbors."

Ok?

A question mark popped up in Lu Shi’s mind.

Gu An still wants to have a good relationship with her?

His attitude in the hospital was extremely bad before.

Besides, she was not prepared to face Gu An's bad mood.

Most importantly, she ordered takeout!

Judging from the time, it should be here soon.

As expected, the delivery man arrived at such a perfect time that Lu Shi didn't have to spend time thinking of a reason to refuse, and the delicious takeaway arrived.

Lu Shi shook the food in his hand and politely refused: "Auntie, I have already ordered takeout. It would be a waste if I don't eat it. So, I'll go visit you next time."

After saying that, Lu Shi and his aunt politely thanked him, then closed the door and returned to their room.

The aunt outside the door who had not completed her task sighed softly.

She was almost there, she got the prize, what a pity...

Back in the room, Auntie told Gu An the truth, "Sorry, sir, Miss Lu didn't come. She has already ordered takeout."

Gu An nodded slowly, his eyes calm.

Seeing that Gu An was not angry, the aunt's chatterbox nature reappeared, "By the way, that girl is really pretty, but it's a pity that she has a boyfriend and they are living together."

Otherwise, she would really like her husband to fight for it.

But maybe she was overthinking it, maybe the gentleman didn't mean that.

Unexpectedly, Gu An's reaction was beyond her expectations.

He dropped his chopsticks in shock and stood up. "Auntie, what did you just say? She and her boyfriend are living together?"
