Screaming in the fright, Ding Ruola let out all her unhappiness.
She felt much more relaxed.
The two ended their visit with the carousel. When Ding Ruola got off the carousel, she walked around the area several times but couldn't find Gu Tingjun.
She started to feel anxious. Suddenly, she was left alone in the vast crowd.
Suddenly, a hand landed on her shoulder. She craned her neck and slowly turned around. Something poked her cheek.
It was Gu Tingjun's finger.
The man had one hand on Ding Ruola's shoulder and was holding a fox mask in the other.
"Will you disappear?"
This scene suddenly reminded Ding Ruola of the anime *Hotarubi no Mori e*. The mask in Gu Tingjun's hand was the one worn by the male protagonist in the anime.
She wasn't afraid that Gu Tingjun would disappear, but rather that this kind of happiness would suddenly vanish.
Gu Tingjun shook his head. He grabbed Ding Ruola's wrist and the two squeezed out of the crowd.
The man led Ding Ruola to a high ground. "If you don't want Qianxue here, I can take her back."
Ding Ruola was stunned. Did the man bring her here just to say this?
"I know you don't like me, but I don't want you to be sad."
This was true. Ding Ruola didn't like Gu Tingjun in the way a girlfriend likes her boyfriend.
"This is Fang Siyan's choice. You..."
Ding Ruola felt that she had been abandoned by Fang Siyan. Now, it seemed that whatever she did was in vain. She lowered her head and stared at her toes.
Suddenly, something nudged her back and Ding Ruola lunged forward.
Her face landed on Gu Tingjun's chest. The man naturally reached out his hand to hold her back.
The two men had completely different personalities. One had the calmness of an adult, while the other had the fearlessness of a teenager.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I think you should understand that there's an order in matters of the heart."
Ding Ruola was the latecomer, but she had hoped to overtake the first.
Gu Tingjun slowly loosened his arms around Ding Ruola. His hand slid down to her arm, and his strong hand grasped her arm.
"Love doesn't work that way!"
Ding Ruola didn't say a word. She broke free from Gu Tingjun's grasp.
The two didn't say a word on the way back. When Ding Ruola got home, she was alone again.
She didn't go to sleep but continued to work.
For several consecutive days, Ding Ruola had her days and nights reversed. She slept during the day and worked at night.
Her relationship with Gu Tingjun became closer and closer. All this was seen by Fang Siyan.
One day, Ding Ruola was still sleeping at home when she heard someone ringing the doorbell.
She peeked through the peephole and saw the face of an old woman.
"Aunt Fang!"
The girl opened the door while calling out to the person outside.
The old woman was carrying big and small bags. It seemed that she was going to stay for a while.
"Why did you come here?"
Ding Ruola took the things from Aunt Fang and put them on the long table. Then she went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.
"I heard that you two young people had a fight."
This wasn't really a fight. Ding Ruola pouted. She didn't want to admit that they had a fight at all. But seeing the anxious look on the old woman's face, Ding Ruola had to admit it.
Later that day, Ding Ruola accompanied Aunt Fang for a walk in the nearby park and danced with her in the park.
Even though she was a hundred times reluctant, she couldn't show it.
"Auntie - I - I can't take it anymore!"
Ding Ruola covered her chest and gasped for breath. Were the old people these days really in such good shape?
Seeing that Ding Ruola was already red in the face, Aunt Fang scolded her a little and then took her home.
Later that night, Ding Ruola was working on a design in her room when she heard the door of the guest room open.
Ding Ruola put down her pen and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside.
The old woman should be on the phone with someone.
"Yes, Siyan. I'm already home. I'll definitely keep an eye on Ruoruo."
Was Aunt Fang on the phone with Fang Siyan? From what Aunt Fang said, it seemed that Fang Siyan had asked her to come here.
Since they had no contact anymore, why did Fang Siyan still send someone to keep an eye on her?
"Aunt Fang, you're still awake!"
Ding Ruola staggered out of her room. She saw Aunt Fang quickly hide her phone.
Before she could ask anything, Aunt Fang started talking nonsense and then went back to her room to sleep.
Ding Ruola woke up in the morning, attracted by the smell of eggs.
"Ruoruo, come and have breakfast!"
The girl was in a daze and thought that Fang Siyan had come back. But when she went out, she saw the old woman sitting at the table.
After breakfast, Ding Ruola drove to the company by herself.
Aunt Fang didn't know that Ding Ruola couldn't drive. She watched Ding Ruola drive away.
Then she reported to Fang Siyan.
When Fang Siyan learned that Ding Ruola had driven to work, he almost dropped the documents in his hand.
Gu Qianxue, who was standing beside him, noticed that Fang Siyan's mood wasn't very stable. She glanced at the content on her phone.
"I didn't expect Ruola to grow up so fast!"
Fang Siyan didn't say a word. He directly called Crodia.
"If Ruola goes to the company, remember to call me."
The man didn't turn off the mute during the morning meeting in order to wait for this call.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Crodia called Fang Siyan.
Ding Ruola had arrived at the company safely.
It had taken the girl two hours to drive. The journey that usually took only forty minutes.
After Ding Ruola arrived at the company, she drank two glasses of water.
It was her first time driving, and she felt that driving was so tiring.
"Ruoruo, you're really slow!"
Miao Yun also drove to work this morning. She met Ding Ruola on the way. At first, she thought that Ding Ruola's car had broken down. She didn't expect that this was just Ding Ruola's driving style.
"This is my first time on the road!"
Ding Ruola emphasized that this was her first time on the road. Miao Yun, who was standing beside her, burst out laughing.
"You'd better ride a bike to work in the future. It'll be faster than driving."
The girl was furious. She raised her hand and pretended to hit someone. She gently patted Miao Yun on the shoulder and then went back to her seat.
But Miao Yun was right. She had stalled the car twice on the slope, and a traffic policeman had even helped her for a while.
When going home at night, Ding Ruola decisively found a driver. Her car would probably gather dust in the garage again.
"Ruoruo, you really scared me!"
Aunt Fang learned from Fang Siyan that this was Ding Ruola's first time driving. She had been worried all morning.
She said that if Ding Ruola wanted to drive again tomorrow morning, she could take her there.
"Auntie, you can drive!"
"Yes!"
Ding Ruola asked this question on purpose. Her behavior was just self - humiliation.
After today's experience, Ding Ruola finally understood that driving was also a skill. Later that night, when there were fewer cars on the road, she drove out to practice.
She must turn her grief into strength. Now that Aunt Fang was on her side, she must be able to defeat Gu Qianxue and make Fang Siyan change his mind.
"Ruola, what are you thinking? Hit the brakes!"
