Tsundere and cowardly

Since Ms. Cheng went to New York, Gu Jiujiu continued her normal life that had been uneventful since high school.

Struggling to get out of bed every morning, I combed my disobedient long hair in front of the mirror.The fine snow outside the window flew down a little bit.

She always felt very cold on snowy days in the past, but this year is different.It may be because she suddenly fell in love with snow recently.

The campus of Z University is still as busy as ever. The tree trunks on both sides of the main road have lost all their leaves, and the bare branches are like the background often seen in black and white paintings.Flying snow flew down from the cracks in the trees, and people came and went.Wrapped in silver.

Gu Jiujiu walked towards Xiude Building with her bag in her hand, and the next thing was Professor Yang's English class.She must not be late, as a class representative.It is rare for Gu Jiujiu to realize with some conscience that she often goes there very late.

It was her only concern.

Gu Jiujiu lives in this university town, and all he worries about is what to eat for lunch, and today it's time to attend the class of Mr. Miejue.

Despite the constant news on cellphones that America's finances are once again in trouble, the country has once again proved its leverage.

Many top-tier first-line luxury goods have begun to withdraw redundant brand sales stores in order to reduce financial problems.Even some luxury brands have begun to cut prices significantly.

Gu Jiujiu sat in the classroom, and the girls in front were chattering about whether or not they should take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime price cut to buy a bag.

Several people discussed fieryly.

The girl sitting next to Gu Jiujiu dismissively said, "The products that can be reduced in price at this time are all inferior products. The only use of buying them back is to take up space. The dormitory is already so big, but there are still people who don't like it." Garbage takes up space."

The girls in front turned their heads when they heard the words, and someone said: "Yo, I thought who it was. It turned out to be Miss Ji. A rich person like you may have to go to a specialty store and tell the waiter that I only want the most Dear……"

The girl in front imitated her expression, which was very beautiful.Amused many people around her, the face of the "Miss Ji" sitting next to Gu Jiujiu remained unchanged.

Gu Jiujiu moved aside calmly to avoid accidental injury.

Seeing that Miss Ji quickly regained her senses, she sneered at the girls in front of her and said, "People like you, with your parents' hard-earned money, stare at luxury goods without blinking. Don't eat If you don’t drink a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes and a Prada bag for a few months, you really think you’re amazing, don’t you?”

As she spoke, she put on a smug expression on her delicately made-up face, "The pair of manoloblahniks I threw away yesterday can buy everything you have on your body."

This Miss Ji seems to intend to use the viciousness of her words to the extreme. "Recently, Hermès seems to be offering discounts too. If you don't eat or drink for a few years, you should be able to borrow a second-hand Birkin bag."

"Forget it, forget it, don't pay attention to this young lady who has a lot of money and doesn't worry about where to spend it."

This short battle came to an end with the triumphant smile of Miss Ji next to Gu Jiujiu.

The university campus can be regarded as an independent small society, and there are various groups in it, so there is a contrast in a place with a lot of people.

Here, those who have studied hard for 12 years will find that the world is not more diligent than anyone else.This is one of the best universities, where all the winners gather.There is always someone with better grades than you, someone who is better than you, and someone who is smarter than you and more beautiful than you.

People go to the bar to dance disco every day, go to all kinds of circles to get along well, and the result is better than the people you hang out in the library every day.

People are more beautiful than you, and the family is richer than you.When you are hesitating for a long time about a dress that costs hundreds of dollars in your shopping cart, someone else has already thrown away the empty bottle that was used up last time, and spent 1000 yuan from your account to buy a bottle of sunscreen.

In some respects, this is a vanity fair, and what the gap brings is the expansion of material desires.

The girls in front, in Gu Jiujiu's memory, were all quiet and gentle girls from ordinary families last semester.You shouldn't pay much attention to these luxuries and the like.

But in fact, everyone is changing.

It has been a semester, and everyone has adapted to the rhythm of university life.Except for a very small number of people who can calm down and bury their heads in reading, most of them can no longer bear the restless heart.

"Today, I'm going to tell you an article, which introduces a city. New York. Which of the students here have been to New York, can you take the initiative to stand up and share your experience with us?"

There was a lot of discussion under the podium, some people said Broadway, some people said Wall Street.Others talked about Fifth Avenue, which appeared at the beginning of Audrey Hepburn's biggest movie, "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

Professor Yang looked in the direction of Gu Jiujiu. Although there was a lot of discussion below, no one raised their hands.At this time, someone must stand up and set an example, such as a class representative.

"Okay. The class representative has raised his hand. Please stand up and tell us how you feel."

To be honest, Gu Jiujiu has been out of the country once since he was a child, that is, he went to the United States to take care of Gu Jiuju during the last winter vacation, and it just so happened that his coordinates are New York.

Fortunately, I went to the winter vacation, otherwise I would really be ashamed to stand up now.

"I went to New York once during my winter vacation. I didn't go to Broadway, I didn't go to Fifth Avenue, I didn't go to Wall Street. I didn't go to all the famous landscape buildings."

Professor Yang: "Then why did you go to New York?"

"I went to see my brother. And then it didn't feel like the city was any different. Like all cities, there are buildings everywhere. Although the office buildings in New York may be a bit taller than other cities. I also went to the hospital. , the environment there is very good, and the nurses are also very beautiful. If I have to say what is different about it from other cities, the biggest feeling it gives me is...freedom."

Professor Yang nodded, and had to say that Gu Jiujiu's serious and cold humor is very good.Then I invited a few more people to speak.Professor Yang started the topic, he played a short video about the city.

From the well-known Times Square, to Wall Street, the world's financial center, the Empire State Building, known as a miracle in the history of architecture, Rockefeller Center, Broadway, the top palace dreamed of by countless actors, and Fifth Avenue in "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

At the end of the short film is the Statue of Liberty.

The narrator reads: Statue of Liberty

"Liberty shines on the world."

This sentence aroused countless people's yearning for New York.The biggest difference between this city and other places is freedom, which is full of infinite possibilities.

Even Gu Jiujiu, who thinks he can calmly face the vast differences in the same campus, can't help being slightly shocked by this short video.

A campus is just too small a circle.Just this morning, Gu Jiujiu saw the open and secret struggle between people, and the confidence that money can bring in that Miss Ji.

Gu Jiujiu has to admit that her knowledge is still too little, and her self-righteous world is still too small.

Professor Yang stood on the stage and said: "What we are going to talk about in today's article is the infinite possibilities of the city of New York."

Miss Ji next to her said: "New York is the city of my dreams. I will definitely go there in the future."

The girls in front mocked: "It's as if you can go if you want, learn English well first and then talk. After you figure out the exchange rate between RMB and US dollar, see if you can still say such empty words."

However, these are not enough for some people.They have set their sights on higher ground.

When all the bumpkins present were shocked by the city in the short film, some of them were about to climb to the top of the city.

The fashion lady is standing in the elevator, she looks at her reflection in the glass. "A week ago, after I moved my studio to the city from London. I asked myself a question,"

Miss Cheng looked at the smaller and smaller walking objects on the ground, stood at the highest position, and saw that everything was small and vulnerable.Like a speck of dust.

She said lightly: "What's the problem."

The fashion lady took a deep breath to calm her emotions. "I asked myself, Erin, are you ready to conquer this city?"

Miss Cheng's expression was still calm, and she worked continuously for more than ten hours.Let her mental state is not very good.Even if the next is a crucial hurdle, it cannot change this fact.

"What about your answer?"

"The answer is Yes," Irene stared at her reflection in the glass. Today's condition is very good, everything is perfect.

There was a strong feeling in her heart that all the previous efforts had been made for this moment that was coming.

"That's good. You know, I don't like losing."

Miss Cheng never loses, because she knows how to win too well.

a few days later.

To be honest, since the beginning of school these days, Gu Jiujiu has clearly felt the changes in the people around him, which can be seen from the topics they discuss.

From grammar questions to which brand is on sale lately, from a pair of shoes I bought to a shoe cabinet I bought.

It seems that everyone around them is being pushed forward by this era. They are always paying attention to the discounts of brand stores, the recommended products of beauty bloggers, the exchange rates of various countries, and entangled in paying too much. The question of import and export taxes for a few dollars.

Every day, the mobile phone is kept in a low battery state, and the delivery of goods from warehouses around the world is taken from the school's mail room.

But Gu Jiujiu stood in the crowd of people walking forward, and stopped.I don't know where my direction is.

Just when she was hesitating whether she should also make some changes, so as not to appear to be out of group.

Mr. Cheng came to Z University again, and this time he came alone.Gu Jiujiu met him on his way to the school supermarket to buy snacks.

The old man saw her from a long distance away and greeted her kindly. "Student Gu Jiujiu, hello."

Gu Jiujiu naturally stopped, and politely replied, "Grandpa Cheng, you are free to come back today for a walk."

Mr. Cheng seems to be in good spirits today. He nodded and said, "Well, I wonder if you are free to go shopping with me, an old man?"

Gu Jiujiu smiled: "Of course I'm free."

Gu Jiujiu is very willing to talk to people who are older than himself. Generally speaking, people who are older than you have a more objective perspective than you.

If these people are willing to share their experience and opinions with you, then you should really take it seriously.

Gu Jiujiu has heard a saying, and agrees with it very much: The most meaningless thing in this world is to reason with young people, because no matter how good you say, it is not as good as her own suffering and suffering deep impression.

So if someone is willing to reason with her, Gu Jiujiu will definitely listen carefully.

Just as Gu Jiujiu and Mr. Cheng were walking and chatting, a figure appeared in front of them.

She was wearing a black slim woolen coat and a simple Chanel hat on her head, in order to prevent the fine snow from falling on her hair.Where she is now is like the shooting scene of a group of fashion blockbusters, anyone should leave immediately.

Miss Cheng suddenly appeared in front of Gu Jiujiu.But obviously, she didn't come here to look for Gu Jiujiu.

She called out to Mr. Cheng who was standing next to Gu Jiujiu, "Hello, Grandpa."

This is the first time that Gu Jiujiu saw Miss Cheng bowing her head to someone. Maybe her actions are completely in line with the flawless requirements of her aristocratic mother. Miss Cheng does not give people the humility that a junior sees an elder. From beginning to end, she was just as elegant and appropriate as ever.

Gu Jiujiu won't be nervous when facing Ms. Cheng.Facing Mr. Cheng, Gu Jiujiu would not be nervous either.But now that these two people are standing together, Gu Jiujiu became nervous for no reason.

Fortunately, the issues the two men discussed next had nothing to do with her.

Mr. Cheng nodded.I asked casually. "You didn't go to class these two days?"

Ms. Cheng replied briefly: "There is a little problem with the business over there."

Old Master Cheng snorted, and for Cheng Rong, who was so excellent, he became a granddaughter that no one else could catch up with in a few lifetimes.Only Mr. Cheng, with his eyes above his head, would give him a good face.

"I read the news, and the economy abroad has been sluggish for a while. Why, you have already solved it when you come back?"

Miss Cheng nodded. "It's basically settled. I came back this time because I want to discuss something with you."

Mr. Cheng said: "You should know that I don't talk about things when I'm free."

Cheng Rong nodded.She didn't speak, but her attitude was clearly sticking to her own position.

Old Master Cheng looked at Gu Jiujiu who had been silent beside him, and then said to Miss Cheng, "But you're lucky this time. I met a little classmate who is much more likable than you."

Old Master Cheng turned his head to Gu Jiujiu and said, "Little classmate, let's stop here today. I'll come again next time, old man, so don't make me annoyed."

"of course not."

Gu Jiujiu nodded quickly, not daring to see Miss Cheng's reaction.He fled the scene as if fleeing.

Miss Cheng followed the old man into the housekeeper's car, and old man Cheng sat in the car for a while.Then he said, "Tell me, what's the matter."

Miss Cheng looked ahead, and when she spoke, her tone was very light, as if she was discussing the weather: "I need to borrow a sum of money from you, three months ago. I can pay you back in double."

Mr. Cheng was not in a hurry to express his opinion, he just asked, "Then how much can you earn?"

Ms. Cheng mentioned an elastic range.

Only then did Mr. Cheng nod his head.Close your eyes again.In this generation of the Cheng family, I am afraid there is only one person who can be taken out to take charge.

Mr. Cheng did not have the old prejudice of patriarchy, but Cheng Rong was too young, he was arrogant after all, and had never experienced any troubles.As for Cheng Yuan, he has been working under the old man for so many years, and it's not that he can't help him at all.

Old Master Cheng was still worried. It all depended on his own will in whose hands the Cheng family would be handed over in the end.No one can figure out what is going on in his heart.

After Gu Jiujiu returned to the dormitory, he lay on the bed alone and watched American dramas.

When walking with Mr. Cheng before, Gu Jiujiu had already vaguely expressed his recent confusion. The old man smiled and said, this world is much bigger than you imagined.Why don't you take the initiative to choose.Instead, passively watch the changes of others.

She sat on the bed alone, still unable to watch the TV series.Skip half an episode.I don't feel like reading a book.The worst thing is probably what it is like now, hiding in a corner impetuously and moldy.

That's the downside of not making many friends.

As for Miss Cheng, she came back from Cheng's house at around eight o'clock in the evening, and Gu Jiujiu was not in the dormitory.

She was one of the few people she knew, Tang Tian.La went to a feminist exchange meeting.In fact, things are probably like this. Ever since Tang Tian broke up with Qin Yizhi last semester, he has run towards the embrace of feminism without hesitation.Hold high the banner of "gender equality" and wave it around.

Wherever she goes, she never forgets to promote women's rights, gender equality and other issues, and it is common for her to blush when she argues with others. Although Gu Jiujiu doesn't know if Tang Tian really believes in feminism, she firmly believes in it. Tang Tian's ability to quarrel with others.

No, she has already started to apply to the school to form a club in a hurry, and the name is called: Feminist Club.

The school has strict regulations, and the establishment of a club must meet the minimum requirement of [-] people.Ever since, Gu Jiujiu was pulled over by Tang Tian to make up the numbers.

After the establishment of the club, the president Tang Tian delivered a speech for 10 minutes.Gu Jiujiu has never had the patience to listen to this kind of speech.But Tang Tian standing in front moved her with a serious look.

I don't know when it started, that girl in pink and full of bad words has already started to change.

It seemed that she was the only one standing there, unchanged.

Gu Jiujiu didn't know whether it was good or not for him to do this.Whenever she starts to think about it, it means something is wrong with her life.

After rejecting Tang Tian's invitation to go out for dinner, Miss Cheng who returned to the dormitory after Gu Jiujiu was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Gu Jiujiu subconsciously glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was 09:30.At this time, Miss Cheng is already asleep.

Gu Jiujiu bought this wall clock from a supermarket when he first started school, and it has been quite useful so far.Because Gu Jiujiu is a person who does not have a strong sense of time.

She reminded herself not to waste time.

Miss Cheng put down her work, Gu Jiujiu naturally noticed this.She was no longer holding a fashion magazine.

Miss Cheng looked in her direction, as if she had no intention of speaking.

Gu Jiujiu spoke first, "You're back. Are you done with your work? Are you feeling better?"

Miss Cheng looked at her without saying a word.Her eyes seemed to pierce through Gu Jiujiu's calm and kind camouflage, and pierce into her fragile heart.

"I'm going to take a shower first."

Facing Miss Cheng's gaze, Gu Jiujiu didn't have any special reaction.She put down her bag calmly, took the newly purchased cartoon pajamas into the bathroom.

The pattern on it is Meiyangyang, the most beautiful sheep on the Qingqing Grassland.

When Gu Jiujiu watched this cartoon for the first time, he saw Mei Yangyang's pink complexion, and kept thinking about what kind of sheep she was.

Ms. Cheng spent more than half of her winter vacation in London, and the other half in New York.

When she was in London, she would chat with Gu Jiujiu at a fixed time every day.When she was in New York, she only had time to think about what Gu Jiujiu was doing at this time when she finished her work.

Ms. Cheng is very clear about what she wants. Whether it is career or love, she has her own clear goals and plans.She had anticipated this trip to New York just after the end of the semester, but she didn't realize Gu Jiujiu's anger until now.

This girl is polite and sensible when she is angry.Generally, people with a little emotional intelligence may be better at cold violence.

Handle the relationship between two people coldly.Don't cry or make trouble, just treat you as always, as if nothing happened, but in fact she is alienating you silently.

Gu Jiujiu is one of the best.

It's not that Miss Cheng didn't make a choice.When she came back, she had expected that the situation would not be optimistic.But I didn't expect that it was only half a year since she left.There are so many financial problems that she needs to check and deal with in person.

The physical condition was unexpected and unexpected. After taking the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, Ms. Cheng boarded the flight back to China.

Miss Cheng didn't care much about her physical condition.Gu Jiujiu was not allowed to touch her, just worried that she would be infected.

Ms. Cheng may not have expected Gu Jiujiu's "overreaction".

That's right, in Miss Cheng's opinion, it was an overreaction.Since she was 12 years old, she has lived alone.Occasionally, she gets sick and has a fever. After taking the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, Miss Cheng usually continues with the previous work.

She rarely changes her routine.Even when sick.

She has 90.00% control over her life.Gu Jiujiu is the remaining one percent.

In Miss Cheng's view.The solution to illness is nothing more than taking medicine.But Gu Jiujiu's concern made her a little at a loss.

In Miss Cheng's growth history, the word caring has always represented a hypocritical greeting.

As for later, even though she had already taken the medicine, in order not to worry Gu Jiujiu, Miss Cheng still took the medicine she bought.Later, I followed her arrangement and went to the hospital.

These are unprecedented for Ms. Cheng.

She originally expected to stay here for about a week, but she didn't expect that there would be another situation in New York.Miss Cheng rushed back temporarily.Just when Miss Cheng couldn't take care of her body for work.

Gu Jiujiu thought he could take good care of her.

In fact, Gu Jiujiu has always wanted to say this sentence.

The author has something to say: Today I fell completely ill.I fell asleep until six o'clock in the afternoon.

Little fairies pay attention to your body.
