Chapter 488: Lu Kuo Continues to Be Ignored
pushed a food cart over, on which was a two-tier cake. On top of the cake was a diamond ring.When Ruanruan saw the diamond ring, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably as she realized what he was...On Monday morning, Shu Tinglan and Zhuo YUAN both shared their marriage certificates on their social media feeds. Zhuo YUAN's personal WeChat account only has a few close friends and family members added, so compared to the handful of likes and blessings on his post, Shu Tinglan's received an overwhelming response with likes and blessings filling almost two pages of comments.
Lu Kuò and Tíng Lán don't have many mutual friends, so the blessings from Lù Yǎoyǎo, Gù Ruǎnruǎn, and Chéng Chén stand out.
Cheng Chen only sent two words: Finally...
Thousands of words are contained within that string of ellipses. Lu Kuo must feel the same way as her at this moment, being a witness to their love story. Many things no longer need to be said;
Lu Yaoyao's blessing was also very sincere: Congratulations to my brother and sister-in-law, may lovebirds finally become a pair. I was moved to tears. I wish you a lifetime of happiness!
Gu Ruanruan's blessing was laced with a touch of politeness: Congratulations, Lawyer Shu.
Lu Kuo saw her words, and her cold and serene face flashed through his mind. He casually clicked on her Moments, which was mostly empty. The last post was yesterday, just a simple photo of a desk, a lamp, and a computer, captured with a sense of atmosphere.
The desk and the lamp, he was very familiar with them, he had picked them out for her before. Thinking back, it had already been two or three months. This girl was quite interesting. She had confidently said she wanted to chase him before, but after taking the initiative twice, she disappeared without a trace. She wasn't reliable at all.
Lu Yaoyao's filming scenes at the university where she studied today are coming to an end. She sent a message asking if he wanted to visit the university, revisit their youth, because there probably won't be another chance in the future.
"Of course." He replied while texting, grabbed his car keys and drove towards Senda.
When he arrived, the set was a bit hectic. Some crew members had already begun packing up equipment and cleaning up the area. Only Lu YaoYao had one final shot to film. At this moment, she was sitting next to the director, listening attentively as he explained the scene. Gu Ruannuan stood beside her, watching with a hint of amusement. It was unclear whether Gu Ruannuan understood what the director was saying, but his expression was even more serious than Lu YaoYao's.
The director said that the scene was Lu YaoYao running on the playground, turning back to smile at the male lead while running. They had filmed it three times already, but the director felt her smile when she turned back was too pure and innocent. It lacked a bit of love and confession towards the male lead.
The director wants the effect to be that her smile, when she looks back, contains both admiration and an unspoken declaration of love. It should be subtle, something that people can feel rather than see, something beautiful.
This performance is beyond words.
The director was setting the scene for her: "Think about the scenes you and Yuan Binghuan shared, think about the ambiguity of that period, the feeling of wanting to confess but being afraid."
It's like saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Lu Yaoyao was already getting into character, but when his name came up, she felt nothing. Besides, there wasn't any ambiguity between them; she liked Yuan Binhui and chased after him relentlessly back then.
"It's really tough. I happened to see Lu Kuò, but I wasn't in the mood to talk to him, so I just said:"
"Brother, let Ruan Ruan take you to the Forest Park. I still have one shot left to finish." She needed some time alone right now.
"You're really good at arranging things for people. Since you're busy, why didn't you ask me to come shopping in the forest You're busy, but isn't Mr. Gu free" After all, Mr. Gu has been so busy that he hasn't sent him a single message in three months.
Gu Ruanruan smiled: "I'm not busy, I'm done."
She was hustling all summer, and finally on the last weekend before school started, she finished her part of the textbook. Now she could relax!
Lu YaoYao turned and ignored him, continuing to act with the director.
Lu Kuo glanced at Gu Ruanruan and said, "Then I'll trouble Teacher Gu to give me a tour of the campus."
He wasn't a high school or college student, so he wasn't particularly interested in touring the campus. But since he was already there, he might as well take a quick look around. Soon enough, he realized that Teacher Gu wasn't very enthusiastic about showing him around either; they just circled the teaching building twice.
"I didn't expect you, Sen Dakong, to be so renowned. Aren't you known as the most scenic place in the country" He stopped walking and remained there.
Gu Ruanruan looked at him, confused.
He: "Going back and forth, I only see this teaching building. Are there no other attractions"
Gu Ruanruan looked up at the teaching building and smiled: "Sorry, I was thinking about something else just now."
Lu Kuo was acting crazy. Walking with him, pretending he didn't exist was one thing, but wanting to do other things and daydream Isn't that a bit excessive
He grew cold and stopped: "Then, Mr. Gu, you go busy. I'm leaving."
Gu Ruanruan didn't get angry either, and said to herself: "There are several museums and memorial halls in our school that are worth visiting, but they are not open during the summer vacation. When school starts, I'll take you there."
She was like that, perhaps because she had a powerful insensitivity, being slow to react to other people's emotions, or maybe just because she didn't care. Lu Kuò had clearly shown his anger just now.
"There's also an artificial lake ahead, the scenery is beautiful. It's just a bit hot to go there now. However, the small forest by the lake should be alright. It's just that nobody takes care of it during summer vacation, the trees are growing wildly, and there might be more mosquitoes."
She explained in a serious manner, as if deliberately trying to annoy him. She could find reasons not to go to every place.
"Gu Ruanruan, do you think I really want to hang around at your pathetic university"
“Don’t feel like shopping” she laughed, though her smile was faint. But Lu Kuo noticed it was a “victory smirk,” meant to deliberately annoy him.
Line, Gu Ruanruan, you are amazing!
This time she really stormed off without looking back.
Gu Ruanruan went back to the set as if nothing had happened to watch Lu Yaoyao film. Her last scene finally passed, and she and the director were both satisfied.
"Did you make my brother mad" she saw from afar just now.
"Hmm."
Lu YaoYao looked up and down at Ruan Ruan repeatedly, then smiled and said, "I think my brother would die a very miserable death in your hands."
Only her brother Lu Kuò was used to being cold and distant towards others. When he felt like it, he'd tease them, but if he got annoyed, he'd disappear. As for Ruan Ruan, she retaliated in kind, using the same tactics with even greater skill and finesse.
At the beginning, it would tickle Lu Kuo's heart. When he was really itching, she would just ignore him, ignoring him for three months. She was very patient.
"My brother needs someone to put him in his place."
"Actually, I've been really busy these past three months."
Of course, because that night, the memory of walking back to school alone from his house was still fresh. He felt hurt and disrespected. Adding to this, the situation with her and Gu Ruandong's property had not reached a conclusion, so he decided to take things slow for now. After all, he had already waited for many years, so it wouldn't make much difference if he waited a little longer.
Lu YaoYao's scenes at the Sun Yat-Sen University campus had all been filmed, her assistant helped her pack up all her personal belongings, and she only held her phone as she walked out of the school, Sister Hao and the driver were waiting for her outside.
"Ruan Ruan, why don't you come stay at my place for a few days School hasn't started yet."t Nanshan."It was like a scene out of a TV show about the mafia, with voices so loud they could shake the heavens.Then, one could hear Old Master Gu's voice, like a bell resonating through the hall, r...
