C16 Big Joke

Lin Ruo bit her lips and checked the time on the screen. It was already 6 PM.

Usually by this time, Lin Ruo had already brought food to the rented apartment.

The bug that was found last time was most likely put by Gu Shen.

If it was Shen Lingjue or anyone else from the Hou Family, Hou Xiao would have already been brought back by them.

But why didn't Gu Shen tell Hou Family that he had found Hou Xiao?

Is it because of brotherly love?

But if that was the case, then what was it that he did her in front of Hou Xiao in his previous life to become a gold worshiper?

Then it must be some other selfish act?

Lin Ruo was truly unable to guess Gu Shen's thoughts.

However, Lin Ruo still had to act out her heartfelt feelings for Hou Xiao in front of him, as well as show that she didn't know where Hou Xiao was.

Most importantly, he still had to act out the anxiety of not being noticed by Gu Shen as he was in a hurry to go back.

This is a very high level of emotion, Lin Ruo said. Even professional actors can't compare.

Gu Shen took her to Hill.

"Director Gu is quite free everyday." Lin Ruo said. There was a hidden meaning in her words.

Gu Shen didn't care at all.

He couldn't deny that he was actually quite busy, often working until he could only rest for four hours.

But he also admitted that he had met Lin Ruo several times, and it was because of her that he had pushed away a lot of work.

"Not bad." He was looking at the menu in his hand.

"What do you want to eat?" Gu Shen asked.

"Whatever." Lin Ruo said casually and then looked at her phone.

Gu Shen casually glanced at her webpage and saw that she was in another person's WeChat.

Lin Ruo told Hou Xiao that she wouldn't be able to make it today and told him to order the takeout dishes himself.

"Busy?" Gu Shen pretended to be considerate and asked.

"Nope." Lin Ruo said, "I'm just asking others some academic questions."

"Someone else?" Gu Shen smiled, his eyes dark and unreadable. "Senior?"

"Yes." Lin Ruo replied with a surprised expression, "Director Gu, how did you know?"

"Guess." Gu Shen's expression did not change. Instead, he turned to Lin Ruo and said, "Hou Xiao won't be jealous?"

Lin Ruo was stunned for a moment before she chuckled, "Director Gu, you think too much. Hou Xiao and I have already broken up."

Gu Shen looked into Lin Ruo's eyes and noticed that although her tone was firm and full of confidence, her eyes were filled with fear.

They did not dare to meet his gaze.

"You have no news of him?" Gu Shen asked again.

Even though he knew Lin Ruo was lying, he fell in love with the game.

"Director Gu, why would I have news about someone that even you can't contact?" Lin Ruo said as she smoothed her hair, trying to ease her "panic" by moving her body.

"I'm fine." Gu Shen said, "I'm just curious. Hou Xiao said you were his life. He's now running away from home, so he should be looking for you."

Lin Ruo gave him a hard look.

Did Hou Xiao tell him that she was his life?

Heh.

What a joke.

She couldn't help but mock him bitterly. "No, I'm not his life."

She was very clear about his position with Hou Xiao and what kind of person he was.

"And who knows where he went?" Lin Ruo pretended to be calm as she spoke.

Gu Shen stared at Lin Ruo. His wolf-like eyes seemed to see through him.

She turned around and looked down at her phone. Actually, she was afraid that Hou Xiao would make a call, so she had already switched on her flight mode.

She really didn't dare to meet Gu Shen's gaze.

She always felt that nothing she thought could pierce his eyes.

Because his eyes were too penetrating.

After a while, Gu Shen finally withdrew his scrutinizing gaze. Lin Ruo finally felt like she was facing something again.

There was no further communication between the two of them.

Today, Lin Ruo had been stared at by Gu Shen for too long and had to pretend that she was worrying about Hou Xiao while hiding it from Gu Shen. She was too tired and couldn't do anything else.

After finishing his meal, the sky was about to turn dark, so Gu Shen decided to drive Lin Ruo home.

"It's quiet today. What's on your mind?" Gu Shen said as he drove.

"Hmm?" Lin Ruo recovered her wits and said, "Ah, it's not bad. I finished my thesis for the school year recently. It's not bad."

"Don't you have 300 million and you can just spend money to buy one?" Gu Shen said, "You don't need to work part-time anymore."

Lin Ruo could hear Gu Shen's probing tone.

She smiled and answered flawlessly, "Voice matching is a hobby, study is basic."

When he looked at Gu Shen's handsome face, he found that Gu Shen seemed to have restrained a lot of his aura and became more daring.

"Why is Director Gu so concerned about me? And always treating me to a meal? "

"Interested in me?"

Gu Shen's hand that was holding the steering wheel tightened and he couldn't help but feel confused.

He had never thought about this question. It was just that he subconsciously did not like the relationship between Lin Ruo and Hou Xiao.

He used to think that he just didn't like this woman, which was why he wasn't allowed to get close to Hou Xiao.

What was he doing now?

"Director Gu?" The woman called out again when she saw that the man seemed to be lost in thought.

"I want to eat too. It's just along the way." he said, and then he said something even more unbelievable.

"You're Hou Xiao's girlfriend, I'll watch for him."

He regretted it, but his pride would not allow him to show it.

Lin Ruo found it funny.

Gu Shen, this sultry guy.

Finally, she was back at school. Lin Ruo didn't plan to go to Hou Xiao's place. After a day of acting, she was tired.

But he still had to call and tell him he was back.

In the end, he didn't pick up the phone at all.

Lin Ruo was confused and mumbled, "Where is he? Why aren't you accepting it? "

Did he run out?

Forget it, just pretend that she didn't know.

She played with the bug in her hand, which was the size of a small stone, her lips curling up. "Did you sleep?"

Gu Shen heard everything.

She had to find an opportunity to throw this bug away, but she wasn't willing to be watched by Gu Shen for no reason.

He had to make good use of it.

She thought for a while before putting the bug away. She had a plan in mind.

The next day, Lin Ruo went to the rented apartment as usual, but Hou Xiao wasn't there.

She called, but couldn't get through.

Only then did she become anxious.

Before she even had time to eat, she hailed a taxi and looked everywhere they went.

The last place was the riverside amusement park.

Lin Ruo looked for a full circle, but no one was around.

"Hou Xiao, where did you run off to …"

It was dark, and the river reflected the city's skyscrapers and traffic.

As for the girl, she was sitting alone on the wooden chair and couldn't stop herself from sobbing softly. This was what Gu Shen recognized.

Lin Ruo was sitting alone on the riverbank. Her eyes were closed as she blew the night wind. Beside her was her school bag.

"Hou Xiao …"

The phone recirculates audio that has been edited.

An hour later, after she had received the audio, she began to rummage through her bag with her superb movements, and then she took out the little bug.

"What is this?" Her voice was still tinged with tears.
