    Back to the real world (8)

    When Xiao Jinsheng went to work again, Gu Ling almost followed her into the store door.

    “Do you want lemonade today?” Xiao Jinsheng looked at Gu Ling and asked with a smile.

    Gu Ling shook his head and said, “I want to change it. Do you have any recommendations?”

    Xiao Jinsheng smiled and asked, “Do you like hawthorn?”

    “I like it.” Gu Ling pursed her lips.

    He is not picky about food, and he will like whatever Xiao Jinsheng recommends.

    Xiao Jinsheng nodded, put on his work coat and went to help Gu Ling make cold drinks. The clerk’s gossipy eyes swept between the two of them twice, and he soon showed a meaningful and understanding smile.

    Gu Ling noticed the clerk’s eyes and the tips of his ears turned red.

    Xiao Jinsheng quickly helped Gu Ling prepare it and handed it to him. He smiled and said, “Don’t drink it too cold in the morning. I didn’t add ice for you.”

    “Thank you.” Gu Ling gave Xiao Jinsheng a gentle smile.

    Xiao Jinsheng looked dazed for a moment, then quickly recovered with a smile and returned to his work position.

    Gu Ling stayed in Xiao Jinsheng’s shop all day, so the two naturally went to eat lunch together. In the afternoon, Gu Ling simply went over to help Xiao Jinsheng.

    It wasn’t until after get off work that Gu Ling waited for the clerk to leave before asking a little cautiously, “Can I take you home now?”

    “Not now.” Xiao Jinsheng glanced at Gu Ling with a smile and shook his head.Gu Ling’s expression obviously dropped, and Xiao Jinsheng continued: “You helped me a lot today, and now I want to treat you to dinner, is that okay?”

    After speaking, he tilted his head and winked at Gu Ling, with a hint of playfulness.

    Gu Ling’s face turned red and he nodded hastily: “Okay, thank you, thank you…”

    Xiao Jinsheng smiled and stopped teasing him.He is really shy easily.

    After the two had dinner together, Gu Ling sent Xiao Jinsheng home. Standing at the door of Xiao Jinsheng’s house, Gu Ling said warmly: “See you tomorrow.”

    “Gu Ling,” Xiao Jinsheng asked aloud, “Don’t you have to work?”

    He works in a scientific research institute, how can he stay with her all the time?

    Gu Ling paused for a moment, then said with a smile: “I just finished researching a project recently, so I am relatively free, so don’t worry.”

    “Then you come to me like this…” Xiao Jinsheng asked again, “Won’t your salary be deducted?”

    “No.” Gu Ling said, “Don’t worry.”

    Xiao Jinsheng was finally persuaded by Gu Ling, and she returned home after the two said good night.

    Gu Ling waited for the lights in Xiao Jinsheng’s room to turn on before leaving. He had imagined this scene countless times but never thought it could actually come true.

    And now, he really did it.

    The next day, Xiao Jinsheng saw Gu Ling at the door of the store again. He stayed in the store for another whole day, and then sent Xiao Jinsheng home at night.

    After this continued for a week, Gu Ling received a call again while he was in the store. Then he told Xiao Jinsheng with a serious look that he had everything to deal with in the institute and left in a hurry.

    Xiao Jinsheng didn’t see Gu Ling again for five days, but she received a text message from another man in the scientific research institute.

    Xiao Jinsheng stared at the man’s news for a long time and pursed his lips.

    Finally, Xiao Jinsheng sighed and continued his work, but he was always a little distracted.

    In the afternoon, while there were not many people in the store, Xiao Jinsheng explained some things to the clerk and went out.

    By the time Xiao Jinsheng stood at the entrance of the scientific research institute, it was already an hour later.

    The guard at the door saw that it was Xiao Jinsheng and let the person in without asking. Xiao Jinsheng thanked him and walked in the direction of his memory.
