Chapter 1617: Chapter 1618: Leaning her head on his shoulder

“Did my mom say anything to you?” The man walking in front loosened his grip on her hand as they exited the hospital, asking with concern.

Gu Linxi immediately stuffed her hands into her pockets, glanced at him, and calmly countered, “Say what?”

Cui Jiangjing was at a loss, scratching his head and trying to find the right words, “Just… asking about your job, how many people are in your family, where you live, what your family does, stuff like that? She didn’t, right?”

“Nope.”

Because she had already said they would break up sooner or later, Mo Nanzhi didn’t need to ask her those questions.

However, Cui Jiangjing misunderstood, thinking that he had shown up just in time so Mo Nanzhi didn’t have the chance to ask these questions. His handsome face relaxed from its tense expression, and he casually hailed a taxi, opening the door and saying to her, “You haven’t had dinner yet, right? Come on, I’ll take you to eat.”

Gu Linxi got in the car but declined, “No need for the hassle, I still have things to finish, I’ll just go back and make some instant noodles myself.”

“To University Road.” He first told the driver the destination, then turned his head and, for once assertively, grabbed her wrist with one hand, “You’re my girlfriend now, how could I let you eat instant noodles again?”

Gu Linxi’s mouth twitched, staring at the hand clutching her wrist, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, and looked at him, “… Being your girlfriend means I can’t eat instant noodles? Then forget it.”

“That’s more like it.” Cui Jiangjing curled up the corners of his lips, thinking she complied for once.

Who would’ve thought the bare-faced girl would directly say to him, “Let’s break up. I thought about it, and instant noodles are more important.”

“Damn!” His face turned green in an instant, pointing at his own nose, “I’m not as important as instant noodles?”

Gu Linxi looked at him in surprise, not understanding what kind of question he was asking, “Uh.”

When you’re hungry, adding hot water to instant noodles fills you up; what can he do?

“…”

Cui Jiangjing glared at her several times, and when he saw she was unmoved, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out, “You like instant noodles? I’ll have a truckload delivered to you next time!”

So what then?

His face looked unpleasant, showing both green and blue hues, as he turned his eyes away in exasperation, seemingly defeated by himself, “Breaking up isn’t an option.”

“Don’t get me wrong, I just don’t want word to spread and become a laughingstock.”

He had been in the dating scene for so many years, and being dumped by a hard-to-get girlfriend over a cup of instant noodles would surely become hilarious gossip, especially Fu Yi, that scoundrel, who would laugh the hardest!

He won’t break up, absolutely won’t!

“Oh.” Gu Linxi heard his explanation, leaning back into the rear seat with a faint expression, showing signs of exhaustion, she closed her eyes and decided to ignore him.

Cui Jiangjing, usually such a noisy person, surprisingly didn’t disturb her when he saw she didn’t want to talk, silently taking off his coat and wrapping it around her, “Sleep, I’ll wake you when we arrive.”

Gu Linxi’s eyes opened in a small slit, seeming to look at him but perhaps only subconsciously lifting her lid, she murmured faintly and naturally tilted her head, resting on his shoulder, letting out a small yawn, her breathing became even.

“Hoo-hoo.”

Her breathing was even, with a slight nasal sound audible from her nose; Cui Jiangjing straightened his posture, protecting her head with one hand while adjusting his own seating to make her more comfortable. Her breath lightly touched the skin on his neck, like a gentle breeze blowing, and he couldn’t quite describe what he felt, only knowing that his heart seemed to be wrapped tightly, circle after circle by an invisible thread.
