Chapter 45 - You Care
Translator: MiraiSaesang
"Who cares!" Chen Ruo Yu roared, opened the door, went out and slammed the door.
She rushed all the way downstairs in one breath, she saw a lounge chair in the garden outside and finally couldn't help but sit down to catch her breath. Chen Ruo Yu panted and thought that her brain must be a piece of wood.
Did he just say he wants to be her boyfriend?
Chen Ruo Yu's brain was a little blank.
The night was a bit cold, the breeze blew by and she felt clear-headed.
He kissed her and then said he wants to be her boyfriend.
Is that what she wants? Isn't that what she wants?
The most important point is, what the hell does she want?
She didn't even know.
She thought she must have exhausted herself with anger today, and now her brain was empty/ She slowly got up and went home.
When she entered the apartment, she saw Liang Sisi applying a face mask while watching TV. Chen Ruo Yu remembered that she was also interested in Meng Gu, and suddenly felt her face heating up. She hurriedly greeted her and went into her room.
She sat on the bed in a daze, her mind was still blank.
She thought for a long time and finally felt that she must be the most stupid person in the world.
Sisi is right, between men and women being so close, how can there just be friendship? She must be an idiot to have thought that she and Meng Gu could do it.
In her mind, she recalled all the events since the first time she and Meng Gu met until now.
At that time, she followed Gao Yu Lan and walked into Meng Gu's office. Meng Gu smiled and hugged the adorable Niu Niu. At first glance, she felt that he looked handsome in his white coat. He made jokes and said very interesting things, she couldn't help but laugh. His voice was very nice and his smile, very handsome.
Then she began to pursue him, he rejected her by showing no reaction, and then later personally rejected her, and said they could only be friends. Then, they became friends.
He so firmly, clearly and decisively, more than once using different methods to express the impossibility between him and her. And she worked so hard, seriously and carefully treated him as a friend.
Now he said that he wants to be her boyfriend.
She felt even more confused now than after the first kiss tonight.
Chen Ruo Yu stood up, went to wash her face and tried to calm herself, and then came back and continued to sit in a daze. Just as she was sitting still and was somewhat starting to think about the situation a little, suddenly her phone rang, she was startled.
She hesitated for a while and brought out her phone. Fortunately, it was not him.
She answered, "Lan Lan, what happened?"
"Ruo Yu, let me tell you, Meng Gu called Yin Ze again. This time he roared for another half an hour. I am guessing he drank a lot, he was repeatedly saying that you are too infuriating, saying that if you don't apologize, he won't spare you. Chattering endlessly and disorderly, I couldn't really get what he was saying. You have to tell me, what did you actually do to him? After you pulled him from the bar, where did you take him? Yin Ze said that you were walking very fast, he chased after you guys, but by the time he got out the door, both of you had disappeared."
Chen Ruo Yu's face went black, Boss Yin's gossip spirit shouldn't be too strong, but to even chase after us out the door.But at the time, they shouldn't have been going too fast, they were probably in the dark corner...Chen Ruo Yu's face went red, and she quickly diverted Gao Yu Lan's attention and asked, "How did you hear Meng Gu on the phone? What else did he say?"
"He drank too much and called Yin Ze, and then it seemed he was saying the same thing over and over again, Yin Ze got impatient and put the phone down and let him continue to talk and was watching TV. My hand was itching, so I picked it up and listened to it. In the end, I could barely understand him. Anyway, he was very angry."
He drank to the point of being incoherent? Chen Ruo Yu frowned, when she left, it was clear that he was quite sober. Did he drink again?
"In the end, what happened the hell happened? I have helped you ask Yin Ze what Meng Gu said about you. He ended up just laughing and said it's men talk and so can't tell me."
What exactly is this men's talk? Chen Ruo Yu felt that her scalp was going numb, Meng Gu and Yin Ze combo is a concentrated deep squad of the uncouth mouth, who knows what they will say when they get together? And Meng Gu, is that guy running around drinking again?
Chen Ruo Yu was anxious and did not continue chatting with Gao Yu Lan. She said a few words and ended the call, and quickly dialed Meng Gu's number.
The first time he didn't pick up, the second time, the phone rang for a long time before he picked it up.
Sure enough, he was drunk, Meng Gu' s voice sounded dazed, she was not sure whether or not he was asleep and just woke up.
Chen Ruo Yu sighed and asked him, "Where are you?"
"Who are you?" He did not reply but asked a question. Chen Ruo Yu listened carefully, the background of the call was very quiet, so he should not be at a bar.
"Are you at home?"
"Your voice sounds very familiar, like that infuriating Chen Ruo Yu's."
Chen Ruo Yu gritted her teeth and was annoyed, he told her he wants to be her boyfriend, it hasn't been long and now he dislikes her?
"Are you sleeping? Are you at home?" No matter what, have to find out whether he is safe at home or not.
Meng Gu's reaction was very slow, it took a half a day for him to go, "En."
She asked, "Are you on the bed?"
"Are you Chen Ruo Yu?" He asked her with a bit of a slur.
"No." She was not in a good mood.
"I just won't tell you, it's the bed. If Chen Ruo Yu asks, I will tell her that I am on the sofa."
Chen Ruo Yu massaged her forehead and couldn't help but sigh, "Have you been drinking again?"
"Chen Ruo Yu is very annoying." He side-stepped her question.
You're annoying! Chen Ruo Yu to find something to hit him with. This stinky man, in the future, she should just leave him alone and let him drink himself to death.
"There is wine at home." He suddenly replied.
The drunk Mr. Tyrannosaurus was sure enough excessively slow.
It seems that now is not a good time to discuss the issue with him, forget it, she hasn't thought things through anyway, now it's good enough to know he's okay.
She was jsut about to tell him, 'Then you sleep well, I'll hang up,' and so on, when Meng Gu suddenly shouted, "Chen Ruo Yu!"
Chen Ruo Yu was startled and shouted back, "What?!""I kissed her earnestly. After the kiss, she had on a disgusted expression, as if she had just swallowed a fly. She kicked me and didn't answer my calls. She insulted my self-esteem."
Chen Ruo Yu was dumbfounded, she had on disgusted expression? Also, like as if she swallowed a fly? Isn't that exaggerating?
"So she has to apologize to me! Otherwise, I have not finished with her!"
Not finished yet? So this is the reason why when they left the bar, he manhandled her? Then what does he mean by saying he wants to be her boyfriend? Is he messing with her?
Chen Ruo Yu also got angry, "You should apologize! Who do you think you are, that you can kiss me? You, this is called molestation, you indecent hooligan! You should apologize to me, otherwise, I have not finished with you!"
The phone was silent for a while, then Meng Gu suddenly softened his voice and asked, "If I apologize, will she not be angry with me? I want to be her boyfriend." His tone sounded like he was wronged and innocent, like a fragile child's, which resulted in giving off the feeling languid sexy grown man.
Chen Ruo Yu was stunned and was dumbfounded again. Forgive him? Not be angry? What is to be done about this matter? Why does she feel that it is so confusing?
In the end, she didn't know what to say. Meng Gu suddenly said fiercely, "Whenever I see her, I will kiss her once, and kiss her until she no longer dislikes it!"
Chen Ruo Yu was stunned again, she didn't know how to react to this.
See her and kiss once? What's with this scenario? Her mind was reeling, her face was burning, and she suddenly thought of a very important thing.
"Meng Gu! You didn't tell Yin Ze all this, did you?!" She roared at him. This man better not have told others this nonsense about kissing her, otherwise, how can she continue to live with integrity.
"What does this have to do with Yin Ze? I am talking about Chen Ruo Yu, that stupid woman." Meng Gu voice got even louder. "I want to be her boyfriend! But she actually yelled back at me, who cares and then slammed my door. This woman, I have not finished with her!"
Talking about boyfriend matter again?
Chen Ruo Yu ignored his bad attitude, and her heartbeat suddenly sped up. This time, she thinks that she has caught the main point.
"Dr. Meng, why did you kiss her? Why do you want to be her boyfriend?" He's so drunk, opportunity knocks but once, who knows when it'll come again.
"Why? Do you still need to ask? You id-..." The phone line suddenly disconnected before he could finish his words.
Chen Ruo Yu blankly stared at the disconnected call, she guessed that he what he wanted to say was "you idiot", but why did the line disconnect?
She stupidly stared at it and drummed up the courage and quickly called him again and she heard the beeping sound of a turned off phone.
Is it...
his phone is out of power now!
Actually ran out of battery?!
At a time like this?!
Chen Ruo Yu's mind was in chaos again. She really wants to kill him right now. Find him and shake him and ask him to make it clear. What the hell is this crazy person doing?
He couldn't possibly like her! The whole world knows that the type of girl he likes is the gorgeous beauty type. His first love was stubborn and strong-willed and strove to excel, his 2nd and third loves were the lovable and easy-mannered type. No matter how you look at it, whether in figure or character, she is not close to any of them at all.
He rejected her! He said that they can only be friends!He is Mr. Peach Blossom forest, he has so many peach blossoms, and she is just rotten stem.
He was vulnerable today, he was in a bad mood, and she happened to be there and was concerned about him. She was there right when he needed care and comfort, so maybe he was impulsive? He didn't like the blind date his father arranged, his first love came back to him, he was upset, so maybe he needed to have a girlfriend, and she was by his side, he knows that she likes him, so he compromised?
Chen Ruo Yu didn't sleep well that night. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she was to ask him.
Sure enough, really shouldn't let an opportunity go, won't you come back?
For two days, Chen Ruo Yu was in a daze. She did not call Meng Gu and Meng Gu did not call her. She picked up the phone several times but always put it down. She felt that she should not call him first, it was he who provoked her first. In any case, this time he has to call her first, and if he does not contact her, then she will no longer have anything to do with him.
Also, he proclaimed he wants to be her boyfriend, and the next day he is playing the disappearing act with her, which made her feel very upset. After these few days, Chen Ruo Yu eventually thought that them being together would be a mistake, her IQ and EQ are too low to be worrying about this person. Regarding Meng Gu's matter, she shouldn't think too much about it, nothing will happen between that man and her.
On the third day, Wednesday, Zhou Zhe called Chen Ruo Yu and asked her to have dinner together on the weekend, Chen Ruo Yu agrees. She had only just received a troubled phone call from her father the day before, saying that whatever the case, she should get along with Zhou Zhe for a while, even as a friend is good and that we both neighbors and from the same hometown. So that if we eventually run into each other we can raise our heads and not have to lower our heads in their presence and that she shouldn't abandon friendship for the sake of her parents. Chen Ruo Yu in order to let her parents feel at ease, so as soon as Zhou Zhe asked her out, she agreed.
Just as soon as she finished the call with Zhou Zhe, she received a call from Tang Jin Cai. He said that last time, thanks to Chen Ruo Yu and Meng Gu's help, his family is very grateful and so would like to invite Chen Ruo Yu and Meng Gu for a meal together and that they should please attend.
Chen Ruo Yu originally wanted to reject it, but after thinking about it, isn't this just an opportunity to call Meng Gu with a justifiable reason? So she said that she would need to check first and ask if Dr. Meng is free.
Tang Jin Cai quickly said on the other end, "If Dr. Meng is not free, Miss Chen you can just come. I haven't seen you for a long time. I will send you the address, please come."
Chen Ruo Yu was somewhat embarrassed. The meaning in his words made her somewhat uncomfortable, but she did not decline it just now, she only said that she wanted to go check if Meng Gu is free. Now, it would be inappropriate to say that she has no time to go. So she hesitantly agreed.
She thought for a long time on how to tell Meng Gu. Because it is Tang Jin Cai's dinner invite, Meng Gu will definitely refuse, and she really doesn't want to ask him to go. The point of this is, after this opening line, they can continue to talk about their issue.
Now their relationship is a bit awkward, broken but not completely broken, it's a problem. And strictly speaking, can't clearly say what this kind of relationship it is now, and it's not as easy as to say that they have no use for it and don't need to be connected.
Chen Ruo Yu dragged it out until evening and finally had the heart to call Meng Gu's phone. It doesn't matter, in any case, she'll adapt when she's on the call, either way, she'll first try to his see what his attitude is like.
Meng Gu answered the phone, his voice had an obvious nasal sound.
This feeling! Be brave!
Chen Ruo Yu did not need to say anything and without an explanation, she already knew! That night he was so noisy, no wonder he ended up sick!
She suppressed her temper and told Meng Gu about Tang Jin Cai's invitation. She has already thought about to say after Meng Gu's refuses. She was going to pretend to ask him how he got sick, and then from there go into the matter of that night, and then she could ask for an explanation.
Unexpectedly, Meng Gu actually said, "Alright, I'll go. Where and When?"
"Ah?" Chen Ruo Yu was dumbfounded, is he going to make trouble again? "You're already sick, what are you going for?"
"I am going."
"Since you are sick, you should quietly rest."
"I am going." Meng Gu continued to insist.
"It would be very rude to blow your nose at the dinner table."
"That's not the main point!" Meng Gu was not dissuaded, he only asked, "Where do we meet tomorrow?"
MiraiSaesang's Notes: LOL Meng Gu has been behaving like a child the last couple chapters...and probably spent the last few days pouting and stewing in the misery of being abandoned and neglected, plus he's been sick on top of it, more time to think...he seems to be the sort who will be counting the seconds and minutes that she hasn't contacted him for ??...
