Chapter 89 86. Brave

The chirping of cicadas was particularly loud in the afternoon, and even though it was already approaching evening, it still refused to stop.

After packing a meal from the school cafeteria, Gu Heng returned to his school building accompanied by the chirping of cicadas all the way.

"The sky is so blue, and the wind is so perfect today, pretend not to know, pretend not to hear a word"

He opened the door and just put down the lunch box in his hand when the cell phone in his pocket rang.

It's Liu Chen.

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and pressed the connect button.

"Hello, Uncle Liu?"

"Well, it's me," Liu Chen's thick voice came from the mobile phone, his tone was not serious, "How are you doing lately?"

"Everything is normal," Gu Heng opened the lunch box with his free left hand and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu is here to urge me to go back to work?"

"What else?" Liu Chen laughed heartily, "You are not in the company, and my work load has increased. I have to be ignored by the little girls in the company every three days and ask you when you will come back. I am also very worried.

It’s hard work”

"Why don't you be more serious," Gu Heng shook his head and smiled, complaining, "Last time you casually mentioned to my dad about Xiuzhi's girl, I haven't come to you yet."

"You can't blame me, I just mentioned it casually," Liu Chen coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject, "Back to business, how long will it take for you to come back?"

"Going back to the capital? It will take about two weeks," Gu Heng took out the wallet that was placed aside and took out a half-folded return ticket. "Does the company have any other arrangements?"

The time for the return trip has been booked in advance.

That girl Li Zhien will be coming over in a while. If I go back too late, it won't be convenient to pick her up.

"Two weeks? That's good. There's no rush. I'll talk to you in detail when you get back."

"OK."

"By the way, when you come back, there is another matter that you need to deal with." Liu Chen hesitated and said suddenly.

"Huh? At work?" Gu Heng didn't pay too much attention.

"No, it's your own business," Liu Chen coughed several times awkwardly, "Forget it, you'll know this when you come back."

"No, what's the difference between saying nothing and not saying anything?" Gu Heng laughed.

"There are some differences. At least you are mentally prepared."

Gu Heng's doubts deepened, but Liu Chen hurriedly ended the call.

"My own business?" Gu Heng murmured softly, frowning slightly.

In his impression, Liu Chen did not like to play riddles or show off his personality. This kind of situation is really rare today.

After thinking for a long time to no avail, he shook his head and put the matter aside for the time being.

His eyes fell on the return ticket on the table, and Lin Yoona's words in the afternoon suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Yes, time goes really fast."

As he ate his dinner in silence, the thoughts in his heart suddenly became complicated.

Some things will not disappear just because he avoids them intentionally or unintentionally, but will only slowly get closer.

Maybe Lin Yoona doesn't mind staying here for an extra week, but she can't stay in this strange country forever.

Even though Lin Yoona's arrival without warning half a month ago made those subtle feelings flowing between him and her, what might be called love, suddenly become stronger.

But he knows very well that everything has a time limit.

Just like the special bread sold in 24-hour convenience stores, once the deadline is over, you can't eat it again.

The sun sets quietly outside the window, and the sunlight falls on this small return ticket, reflecting slightly.

Gu Heng came back to his senses and looked at the time.

"Aren't you back yet?"

He knew that Lin Yun'er had been visiting Xiao Yunxia's house frequently recently. Although she was always mysterious and secretive, he was too lazy to delve into her "secret".

But now that it was almost nightfall, Lin Yuner still hadn't come back, and he was a little worried.

The infrastructure here cannot be compared with that in the city. The mountain roads are difficult to walk and there are few lights along the way.

He would feel more at ease if Lin Yun'er stayed at Xiao Yunxia's house, but this girl had promised him in the afternoon that she would come back after dinner.

"It always makes people worry."

He closed the lunch box casually, took out a coat and went out.

"Run'e, you are making rapid progress."

Looking at the small object in Lin Yoona's hand next to her, Grandma Yunxia, ​​who was sitting on the recliner, smiled and praised.

"Thank you, grandma, you taught me well~" Lin Yuner stopped carving in her hand, turned her head and smiled brightly at the old man.

"That's right, grandma also thinks that she taught her well. You can't blame grandma for Gu Heng's failure to learn." The old man was convinced.

Lin Yoona chuckled, nodded vigorously, and agreed, "Yes, yes! Let me tell you secretly, I taught him acting before, but his performance was a mess and he was laughed at. He even blamed me and said that my acting skills were not good!

"

Grandma Yunxia laughed out loud, "Then don't argue with him. He's just a tough talker who cares about face."

"I'm too lazy to argue with him." Lin Yuner lowered her head to carve the object in her hand.

Although it is not finished yet, from the overall outline, it looks like a small man holding something in his arms.

The old man looked at her serious movements with a gentle expression and asked softly,

"So, are you going to give this to Xiao Heng, Run'e?"

"Eh?" Lin Yuner was slightly startled, "Grandma,"

"If Xiao Heng were to carve it, I could see a pair of mandarin ducks as two big geese." Grandma Yunxia's fingertips stroked Lin Yuner's long hair, "But Run'e's talent is so good, she just carved a pair of geese."

Grandma already knows who it is by looking at her eyes."

Lin Yuner pursed her lips and turned slightly red.

"You two have known each other before, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"No wonder." A look of confusion flashed across the old man's face.

Even if Lin Yoona hadn't told her just now that she had taught Gu Heng how to act, she could still see some clues based on some details of their relationship.

"Grandma, can I ask you a favor?" Lin Yuner clasped her hands together and winked at the old man.

"Um?"

"This," Lin Yuner pointed to the small wooden sculpture on her lap and said hesitantly, "don't tell him yet, there are some things I haven't thought about yet."

"I know, grandma will keep the secret for you," the old man smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Thank you, grandma!" Lin Yuner breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay," Grandma Yunxia glanced at the sky outside the house and patted Lin Yuner's arm, "We can't delay any longer, the sun is going to go down. Go back quickly and help me call that girl Yunxia in.

.”

"Okay, see you grandma then!"

Lin Yuner packed up her things and walked outside the house.

Just before she left the house, the old man suddenly said, "Run'e, sometimes you have to be brave."

".I understand, thank you grandma."
