Chapter 186 Friend A
Gu Xingruo thought, it would be nice if people could have tails like puppies.

When a puppy is happy, it will wag its tail, and when it is unhappy, its tail will droop.

It's easy to tell a puppy's mood by its tail.

If humans had tails, could we also judge their emotions through their tails?

People are complicated. Sometimes, even if they think something in their heart, they will say one thing and mean another, or even deceive themselves, saying that this is what they think.

Gu Xingruo now really wants to know Xu Wen’s true thoughts.

If he really hates her and doesn't like her.

The moment the accident happened, he would definitely move away immediately and leave her alone.

Instead of subconsciously holding her in his arms, fearing that she would get hurt.

Xu Wen moved very quickly.

Gu Xingruo felt his movement first, and then felt the elevator shake violently.

She knew that Xu Wen was a very gentle person and he was gentle to everyone.

But there are always slightly different reasons for doing so in life-and-death situations.

Maybe it's not just because of tenderness.

Gu Xingruo's heart was in a state of confusion. She had even begun to ignore the fact that they were still trapped in the elevator and danger could occur at any time.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling a little better?" Xu Wen asked, lowering his head.

Gu Xingruo was brought back to reality by his voice.

It was still pitch black all around, with only the light from Xu Wen's cell phone illuminating their faces.

Only then did she remember that her current role was that of a little girl who was afraid of the dark, so she had to act a little more realistically and do the whole performance.

Gu Xingruo curled up again, lowered her head, and said in a very low voice: "Not very good."

She didn't dare to look up now, for fear that the expression on her face would reveal her true thoughts.

In the life of the eldest lady, she rarely lies or acts, and basically says what she thinks.

This is the first time I’m pretending to be a weak girl, and I’m still a little unfamiliar with it.

Fortunately, the elevator was very dark and she didn't need to do anything. She just had to pretend to be scared.

Gu Xingruo was afraid that Xu Wen would see the flaw, so she continued, "I'm a little scared. How about we talk about something? I'll feel better if there's sound."

Perhaps it was because the elevator's soundproofing was too good, or perhaps there were not many people on the floor they were stuck on, so the elevator was very quiet, even scary.

"Don't be afraid, someone will come to rescue us soon." Xu Wen comforted.

It was the first time he saw Gu Xingruo in this state. She curled up into a ball with her head down, like a real doll.

Ever since the accident, the two of them have remained in this position, motionless.

The moment the elevator shook, Xu Wen didn't think too much and pulled Gu Xingruo with him to take shelter.

Fortunately, the elevator did not continue to fall, but was stuck in the middle.

Since Gu Xingruo wanted to listen to him, he took the initiative to think of a topic: "Do you think there is a possibility that today's power outage was deliberately arranged by Zhang Zhiyuan?"

Xu Wen's guess is not unreasonable, otherwise there is no reason for a five-star hotel to have a power outage, and it has not yet started its backup power supply.

Apart from human error, he couldn't think of a second reason.

If Gu Xingruo was not stupid, she would have thought of the same reason.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say: "Then he is really tired of living!"

But when she thought about her current state, she forced herself to hold back the words, almost causing her internal injuries.

"Maybe," she whispered.

Gu Xingruo felt that pretending to be a weak woman was a bit too tiring and did not suit her personality.

If she were alone, she would have been swearing in the elevator by now.

"Damn it Zhang Zhiyuan, if you have the guts, kill me right here! Otherwise, when I get out, I'll kill you!"

like this.

This is what Gu Xingruo would say.

Although it was tiring to pretend to be weak, she felt happy because this was the only way she had a reason to hide in Xu Wen's arms.

He seemed to be very indulgent towards her now, he didn't object to her little tricks, which was totally different from usual.

Although this is good, Gu Xingruo still hopes that the fire department can arrive quickly.

It would be no problem for Zhang Zhiyuan to deal with her, but she was afraid of implicating Xu Wen.

She herself doesn't care.

Gu Xingruo's life creed is to be indifferent to life and death and to fight against it if she doesn't agree, but the person she likes doesn't agree with her.

Xu Wen was still talking.

He started talking about Zhang Zhiyuan and what happened recently. He said he didn't expect that she would stick with the teaching assistant job for so long. He said she was very good and he believed that she would be fine no matter what she did in the future.
Gu Xingruo was not afraid at all, but she did feel more at ease after hearing Xu Wen's voice.

Although she was in a dangerous elevator, she suddenly felt sleepy.

Gu Xingruo had seen a saying in the past that one would feel sleepy as long as one was with someone they liked, because one felt relaxed inside, so they would feel sleepy.

She has an impatient personality and is always confused, but as long as she hears Xu Wen's voice, she feels at ease.

"Do you hate me?" Gu Xingruo whispered in Xu Wen's voice.

She didn't know why she asked this question, but her mouth acted before her brain, and she asked the question before she even thought it through.

When she finished speaking, she understood why she asked this question.

Xu Wen's subconscious protection just now made Gu Xingruo have doubts in her heart.

Maybe he has a little bit of love in his heart, so he is so skilled in protecting her.

If you ask directly "Do you like me?", there will be no answer.

So Gu Xingruo would subconsciously ask the question "Do you hate me?"

When she said these words, Xu Wen's voice paused instantly and the elevator fell into silence.

Gu Xingruo heard him take a deep breath, as if he was about to say something.

She thought that as long as he could say "I don't hate you", as long as he said "I don't hate you", she would be satisfied.

"It's annoying." After a brief silence, Xu Wen replied.

This answer surprised Gu Xingruo so much that she even wondered if she had heard it wrong.

She raised her head in disbelief, even forgetting that she was still pretending to be weak.

But when she raised her head, she was greeted by a pair of gentle smiling eyes.

Xu Wen's peach blossom eyes were extremely beautiful. She could not take her eyes away after just one look and even forgot what he had just said.

But as if to reinforce her memory, he said again: "Of course I hate you."

After hearing this, Gu Xingruo felt like she fell into an ice cave. She didn't understand how Xu Wen could say such hurtful words with such a pretty face.

The power outage in the elevator just now did not make her feel nervous, but she felt it now.

She thought Xu Wen had discovered her little trick of pretending to be weak, and just when she was about to explain something, she heard his voice again.

He looked up and said slowly: "Think about it, you have a good family background, a lot of friends, and you can easily succeed in anything you do. I didn't think I was that miserable, but after seeing you, I think I am so miserable."

This was Xu Wen's mentality when he first met Gu Xingruo in his previous life. Rather than liking her, he first saw the huge gap between them. Gu Xingruo had always been confident and had never experienced what it felt like to feel inferior. She had never thought that Xu Wen would have such an idea.

She quickly explained: "I didn't mean that. I..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Wen gently pressed his index finger against her lips: "This has nothing to do with you. This is my own problem. Please listen to me."

Gu Xingruo nodded obediently. She said nothing and listened silently.

At the moment of life and death, no flashes of thought flashed through Xu Wen's mind, but his subconscious action of protecting Gu Xingruo made him remember many things just now.

"Later you said you liked me, but I thought you were making fun of me, so I didn't believe it at all," he continued.

Gu Xingruo wanted to refute and say that she was serious, but she was afraid to interrupt Xu Wen.

Memories from more than ten years ago emerged in his mind one by one.

Xu Wen is now talking about things from his past life.

He couldn't say what happened afterwards because he was the only one who knew about it.

He hated Gu Xingruo, or maybe he didn't hate her, but he just hated the incompetent self in his previous life.

After living his life over again, he sees and understands many things more clearly. He has also changed many things through his own abilities, and he has long since said goodbye to his past self.

If you ask Xu Wen again, does he hate Gu Xingruo?

He would say no.

"So at the beginning, I actually hated you a little bit." Xu Wen summarized his previous words with a smile.

Seeing Gu Xingruo's expression, he suddenly felt that teasing her was very fun.

All the young lady's thoughts were written on her face. Now she was like an abandoned puppy, wanting to refute but not daring to.

"But after getting to know you for a long time, I gradually realized that there is nothing wrong with you. You are a very good person. It's just my inferiority complex that is playing tricks on me." Xu Wen no longer kept Gu Xingruo in suspense and continued speaking.

The eldest lady has many good qualities. She seems to be born to be the heroine of this world, and she is also qualified to be the heroine.

Gu Xingruo's heart had originally sank, but after hearing Xu Wen's next words, she instantly felt like she was alive again.

All the words like "I hate you" were thrown behind my mind, and only that one sentence remained in my heart.

You are a very good person.

He is saying that I am a very good person!
"You always give me surprises, find ways to send me all kinds of gifts, and think of me when things happen. I have no friends, so you are my only friend." Xu Wen said slowly.

As he spoke, scenes from the past emerged in his mind.

Perhaps the resentment he felt later was too deep, causing him to forget the happiness they had at the beginning.

The subconscious action just now made him recall everything.

He and Gu Xingruo also had a happy time when they first got together.

Looking back now, Xu Wen thinks that was probably the only bright spot in his dark life afterwards.

Although the two of them were actually in a relationship of sponsor and kept, Gu Xingruo had been trying to weaken this impression. She really treated the two of them as boyfriend and girlfriend.

At that time, Xu Wen was still an inferior and unknown person. Although he was good-looking, no one noticed him because he didn't talk much.

Moreover, the experimental class is a place where learning is the main focus. Everyone is busy studying every day and everyone is an island.

Gu Xingruo’s appearance instantly lit up Xu Wen’s world.

It was the first time he had a girlfriend, and also the first time he had friends.

At the beginning of the story, everything was fine.

Gu Xingruo helped solve his family’s financial difficulties, and the two of them spent every day happily together.

This was the first time Xu Wen had someone other than his family who could listen to him, and it was also the first time he started an intimate relationship.

They play together every day and discuss in the room how to grow from children to adults.

Xu Wen thought that life at that time would continue forever, but in the end, an unexpected accident happened.

Everything came to an abrupt end.

Although the ending of the story is not happy, it cannot deny the happiness at the beginning.

Xu Wen's subconscious action just now made him realize that he had never really hated Gu Xingruo.

Later, I just vented all my resentment towards everything around me on her, and found a window to vent.

After all, who would hate the first friend, the first person they like in their life?

After letting go of the past, he saw a lot more clearly.

He didn't want to agree to her confession, but he also wouldn't hate her anymore.

"So if you asked me before whether I hate you, I would definitely say I do, but if you ask me now, my answer is, I don't hate you." After Xu Wen finished speaking, he slowly loosened his arms around Gu Xingruo.

He felt that the person in his arms had calmed down little by little. The crisis was over and they now just had to wait for rescue.

"So am I your friend now?" Gu Xingruo asked.

She didn't want to be Xu Wen's friend, she wanted to be his girlfriend, or even his wife.

But now is not the time to talk about this.

As long as they were friends, as long as they didn't hate her, she thought.

Stay by his side as a friend, and sooner or later you will drive that vixen named Xia away!
Xu Wen smiled and nodded: "Well, I don't have many friends, you are one of them."

Love it or hate it.

Since it happened in the previous life, it should be left there.

After his subconscious protection just now, Xu Wen realized that he had already let go of his resentment towards Gu Xingruo.

Start all over again, start all over again.

From a friend's perspective, Gu Xingruo is a very good friend.

The eldest lady was no longer the eldest lady in his previous life, and she had never supported him.

Xu Wen is no longer the Xu Wen of his previous life. In this life, he picks up the broken pieces of himself and puts them together piece by piece.

"Then I hope I can be your best friend." Gu Xingruo said with a wry smile.

She thought to herself that it would be best if they could still be each other's girlfriend in the future.

Gradually, noisy sounds from outside could be heard in the quiet elevator. Xu Wen felt as if quite a few people were rushing towards their floor.

He pointed outside: "Maybe someone will come to rescue us."

The environment inside the elevator was closed and the air was not circulating. It had only been less than ten minutes and he already felt a little dizzy.

"Congratulations, we all survived." Gu Xingruo had just finished speaking when her cell phone rang.

After picking up the phone, Chen Tianbao shouted anxiously on the other end: "Miss, how are you? I've brought people to rescue you!"

Gu Xingruo's ears hurt from what she heard, so she replied "I'm fine" and hung up the phone.

She also pointed outside: "Wait for them to come over."

In the darkness, Gu Xingruo looked at Xu Wen's face through the light of her cell phone.

Perhaps in the days to come, she will continue to play the role of friend in the story.

fair enough.
