Chen Ruo Yu stupidly pushed against the door, she did not remember that she actually locked the door on the inside, and it could not be opened from the outside. Anyway, her first instinct was to hid at this moment and pretend to be dead, and then let Meng Gu take care of it himself outside.
But she forgot that Mr. Tyrannosaurus's way of "handling" things is equally as frightening.
Meng mother's footsteps were close to the bathroom, then she heard Meng Gu say, "Mom, use my bathroom."
"Why?"
"Chen Ruo Yu is bathing inside."
Chen Ruo Yu was so shocked she almost knocked her head on the door. Her Mr. Tyrannosaurus didn't need to be so frank.
It would have been better for him to say she was pooping than that she was taking a bath!
Oh, my goodness, her image!
But she knew that if she shouted it, she would be revealing what she intended to hide, herself!
But she really wants to explain!
Chen Ruo Yu felt dejected by this cruel reality. She didn't pay attention to what Meng Gu and Meng mother said after.
After a while, she heard the sound of the door closing, followed by footsteps coming to the bathroom, and then a knock on the bathroom door and Meng Gu's voice came across, "Chen Ruo Yu, you okay? my mom is gone now, quickly wash up and go to sleep early."
Although she knew that he could not see her, she still pursed her lips and wanted to show him, how annoying, how could he tell others that she is taking a bath.
Also asking if she is okay? She is not okay at all.
"Speak." Meng Gu shouted from outside, Chen Ruo Yu had to "Oh" in response. Then she heard Meng Gu's laughter.
This villain knows and he is looking at her as a joke.
Chen Ruo Yu listlessly and slowly finished her bath, she had on an unhappy expression when she finally came out.
Meng Gu heard the movement from the living room, and came over with a big towel and covered her head and dried her hair. Her head was rubbed like a puppy's and mumbled and asked him, "What did your mother say?"
"Nothing. If my dad wasn't waiting, she would have probably waited for you to scare you."
"She must not wait for me."
"I told her to go back and wait for you to grow your courage a bit to avoid you being so frightened that you knock yourself out and faint."
"I am not so timid." Although she really thought about fainting, forget it, she cannot admit it.
"So she knows our relationship?" She asked.
"Of course. I never entertain girls alone at my apartment. What's more, letting her bath to stay the night."
"Did you explain why I am taking a bath and staying the night here?"
"Why explain, I am having my girlfriend over, there is nothing to explain. If I specifically explained, then that would be weird."
Chen Ruo Yu's face went red and she asked in a low voice, "Does your mother think that we have that kind f relationship?"
"What kind?" He smirked.
She struggled out from the towel and glared at him, then grabbed the towel and went into the room.
"Hey, blow your hair dry before going to sleep." Meng Gu picked up the hairdryer and chased behind her. Chen Ruo Yu was made to sit on the edge of the bed, listening to the sound of the hairdryer, while Meng Gu was helping her blow her hair, after blowing for a long time, she thought it was troublesome so took over and blew it herself. Chen Ruo Yu was anxious and while blowing asked, "Dr. Meng, will your mother tell your father when she gets downstairs?"
"Yes."
"Then they didn't run up here to discuss it, does this mean that there is no objection?"
"No, it doesn't. If they object, they will find another opportunity to discuss it."
"That..." Chen Ruo Yu wanted to ask if they will be opposed to her, but then she thought about the fact that their family conditions are so different, the probability of them looking favorably on her is not high.
"If it were my parents, they will definitely have rushed up here immediately."
"So you're regretting that my parents' reaction is weak? How about I call them now, they will come back."
"Hey." Knowing that he was just messing with her, she went to punch him.
In exchange, he caught her fist and kissed it. Her heartbeat sped up a little and then she heard Meng Gu say, "Chen Ruo Yu, today you said what you require of me, but I have not said mine."
"You still have requirements for me? I am already so good!" Chen Ruo Yu glared at him."I'm worse than a thunderbolt on a clear sky ah."
Meng Gu also laughed, "I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
He looked at her eyes for a while and said, "Chen Ruo Yu, I have had three girlfriends. I once had the deepest feelings for one of them that I even thought about getting married, that one that has now returned to find me to get back together. My heart was hurt and my feelings since then have resulted in failures. I have a good career, I seem to attract women a lot, some have pursued me in the past and some will still pursue me in the future. I am a very demanding, picky and selfish person. I am very busy at work, and may even be busier in the future. My family has high expectations of me, I also have high expectations for myself. My job is very stressful and I may not be able to completely separate it from my personal life. I don't have much time to spend with my girlfriend, I am not romantic, my words can be unpleasant to hear, my temper is bad, I am overbearing, I like others to listen to me. Chen Ruo Yu, I am like this, do you dare to love me?"
Dare to? Can she also dare to not fall in love too?
Is it not too late to ask this now?
Chen Ruo Yu stared at him. He finished talking and did not move and just looked straight at her. She thought that he must be waiting for her answer. She blinked a bit, and wanted to say something that is particularly touching and particularly domineering that he will never forget in his life.
But she couldn't think of anything after a long while.
So she reached out and hugged him.
She held his waist tightly and rested her head on his shoulder.
Meng Gu was stared blankly for a while and then hugged her back tightly, holding her securely in his arms.
"Dr. Meng, you have to be nice to me, know where your shortcomings are and change them. Don't think that because I am your girlfriend now, you can be mean to me. I also have a temper. Also, know your own strengths and play them up, keep yourself in this handsome state every day, smile at me often and be gentle."
Good, she stopped for a moment, thought about what else to say, couldn't think of anything else and so summarized her thoughts, "In short, you just have to be nice to me. Otherwise, you won't be able to find a girlfriend who is so good to you like me again."
"Chen Ruo Yu, what are you talking about?" Meng Gu pulled her out of his arms and looked at her, "Can you focus on the main point."
How is her focus wrong? If he treats her well, she will be good to him, this is obviously a very important point.
The two of them looked at each other for a while, and finally Meng Gu surrendered first, "Forget it, your brain is not good, it is a waste of emotions to worry with you." He stuffed her under the blanket, "Quickly go to sleep."
But she still had something to say.
"Dr. Meng, today is the first day of us officially dating, only one day and it has been so thrilling, so many ups and downs."
"You think too much."
She thought quite a lot and suddenly recalled an important point, "Dr. Meng, don't go into the bathroom, you use the one in your bedroom."
"You haven't entered the door yet and you're already marking territory?"
**("entered the door" here is referring to marriage)**
"Anyway, you don't go in."
Told him not to go and of course, he went right away. Then came back and said, "You underwear won't dry there, the ventilation is not good. I will help you to air it on the balcony."
Chen Ruo Yu face went bright red, she told him not to look and he went and did that.
But she was really too sleepy and too tired to criticize him. She closed her eyes, she thought she wouldn't be able to sleep properly in this unfamiliar room, but she heard Meng Gu say good night to her, then felt his gentle kiss on her lips which made her very comfortable, then she unexpectedly fell soundly asleep.
She slept like that until dawn.
Chen Ruo Yu woke up because Meng Gu called her. She opened her eyes and saw Meng Gu standing by the bed. he said that he was going to work, she should make sure to get up and wash up and shouldn't be late. Then he dropped a key and said it was for the door of his house, and reminded her to lock the door when she goes out.
"Oh." She groggily looked at the key on the bedside table, then stared blankly.
"Awake?" He pinched her face.
She became a little clear-headed, he added, "Don't be careless and lose my key, remember to put it away properly."
"Oh." She is getting nagged at so early in the morning, he is even worse than her mother.
"Good." He kissed her cheek and then left.
Chen Ruo Yu heard the sound of the front door closing, after a long while, she looked at her watch, it wasn't even 7:30 am. She sat up completely awake for a while. By the way, her family's Tyrannosaurus went to work very early.
However, isn't this supposed to the morning scene where the male and female protagonists hold each other, shyly say some loving words, and then reluctantly say farewell?Well, anyway they didn't do anything melodramatic last night. The catch and run program only played in the beginning and did not develop, and the bedside farewell also had the unromantic ending of his helping her air her underwear.
Therefore they are not an ordinary couple. Chen Ruo Yu slowly climbed out of bed.
They are an odd couple who take the romantically dead route.
The second day of their official romance, in reality, did not have a romantic beginning.
MiraiSaesang's Notes: Meng Gu says he is not romantic, but that dialogue sounded like proposal material LOL??...
