    €Gu Qiaoqiao Extra Episode 8

    “Dingling bell——”

    The ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly rang in the dim room, breaking the dead silence in the room. After a long time, it returned to calm. However, after a few seconds, the ringtone rang again, and the person lying on the bed finally reacted. He frowned, reached out and touched the bedside for a moment, and finally connected the phone when the second call was about to be hung up.

    “…Hello.”

    He’s voice was obviously sleepy, hoarse and low. The person on the other end of the phone was startled and asked worriedly: “Why does your voice sound like a broken gong? What’s wrong with you? It took you so long to answer the phone?”

    Xu Bei tried his best to open his eyelids. He didn’t know how long he had slept. He just felt that his throat was dry and uncomfortable. He pinched the bridge of his nose, tried his best to cheer up and said, “What’s the matter?”

    “You don’t come to the company for a few days without even saying hello. What else can you do to me?”

    The person on the other end seemed a little aggrieved: “I said, even if the company is mine, you can’t leave everything to me!”

    The other party kept chattering, making Xu Beiren’s head hurt. He rubbed his temples and said, “Okay, I’ll come to the company tomorrow.”

    After saying that, he hung up the phone, regardless of the reaction from the other party, he threw the phone away, turned over and lay on his back, staring at the ceiling in a daze. What day is it today?How many days has passed since that day when you had dinner with Gu Qiaoqiao and Ji Ronghan?

    He lay down for a while before getting up, looking at the cans scattered on the ground, and then at the wrinkled clothes on his body, and smiled bitterly, feeling that he had probably never been so sloppy.

    Xu Bei walked into the bathroom, took off his clothes and realized that he was smelling of alcohol. He took a shower, washed his hair and brushed his teeth. After cleaning himself from head to toe, he felt a little energetic. In the mirror, he’s eyes were black and blue, and there were some depressions under his cheekbones, making him look indescribably haggard.

    He smiled at himself, walked out of the bathroom and started cleaning the room. After everything was sorted, he went to the kitchen and ordered a bowl of noodles for himself. However, looking at the food in the bowl, he still couldn’t work up his appetite. He hadn’t eaten well in the past few days, and now his stomach ached a little.

    He forced himself to eat less than half a bowl, then sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, mechanically changing a few channels, listening to the sound of the TV surrounding the room, and suddenly felt at a loss, not knowing what he should do, or what the meaning of living like this was.

    He and Gu Qiaoqiao met in their senior year of college, and they met almost every day for nearly a year. At first, he just thought that this girl was very pleasing to the eye, and she was not like other girls who always cast ambiguous or shy looks at him, so they felt comfortable getting along with her.

    Later, he happened to encounter Gu Qiaoqiao spraining his foot outside. It was almost dark at that time, and it was not safe for her to be left alone outside, so he took the initiative to send her back to the rented house. He passed by a pharmacy on the way and bought some ointment for her.

    After Gu Qiaoqiao recovered from his injury, he expressed that he wanted to thank him. Although he said no, she still insisted on inviting him to dinner. If it were someone else like this, Xu Bei would have refused without hesitation, but it was Gu Qiaoqiao, and he somehow agreed.

    He and Gu Qiaoqiao became familiar with each other as soon as they went there. Gu Qiaoqiao had a cheerful personality. Xu Bei felt that the air became more lively when she was around. He could tell that Gu Qiaoqiao was interested in him, but he just pretended that he didn’t know because he was not sure about his feelings for her. Since she didn’t make it clear, he didn’t have to make a choice. At least it was quite interesting to have her by his side.

    In fact, he had never thought about why it was rumored in school that he and Gu Qiaoqiao were a couple. He was not unhappy at all, nor did he think about clarifying it. If he had figured it out earlier, things would not have developed as they did later.

    That day, he received a WeChat message from Gu Qiaoqiao asking him to go out for dinner at night, saying that he had something very important to tell him. He had a premonition in his heart at that time. Later, when he came outside the restaurant where Gu Qiaoqiao ordered, he saw the well-dressed she sitting in her seat through the floor-to-ceiling window. He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what the answer was in his heart.

    When he was hesitating, the professor suddenly called him and said that he needed to sort out some information and was still in a hurry. He looked at Gu Qiaoqiao and finally turned around and went to the professor. When he remembered to tell Gu Qiaoqiao that he couldn’t go, it was already nine o’clock in the evening. He thought that Gu Qiaoqiao must have gone home, so he would talk to her tomorrow.

    As a result, he could not wait until tomorrow. The day after he broke the appointment, Gu Qiaoqiao deleted all contact information with him, including the phone number. She never said a word to him again, as if she had never known him.

    Does he regret it?At that time, he felt a little regretful and apologetic, but at that time, he was not fully aware of his feelings for Gu Qiaoqiao. He just thought it was due to being unaccustomed to being suddenly empty around him. It was not until he saw her again that night and saw her sleeping face after being drunk that he knew what kind of feelings he had for her.

    So after Gu Qiaoqiao woke up, he couldn’t restrain his emotions and kissed him. The two of them got out of control. Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t reject his intimacy at all, so that he felt that she still had feelings for him.

    He thought there was still time to recover, but Gu Qiaoqiao disappeared from his life again the next day. He still had unfinished projects with his professor and could not just leave. When he finished everything, the first thing he did was to return to China to find Gu Qiaoqiao.

    However, it was too late after all. There is no regret medicine in this world. In the days when he was absent, Gu Qiaoqiao no longer had the same feelings for him as before, and even had a new boyfriend. He could see that they really liked each other. The way Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Ji Ronghan was exactly the same as the way he used to look at him.

    Only after he was completely lost did he realize what he had missed. Xu Bei covered his eyes and showed an extremely bitter smile at the corner of his mouth. He’s little girl no longer belongs to him after all.
