Can’t you tell that I’m annoyed? (1)

Gu Xun stood in front of the cold door for a long time, unable to come to his senses.

The hallway was silent, without a single sound, because Jiang Junnan was also stupefied.

“What’s going on with you two?”

He had also been in a relationship, and from Yue Qianling’s words, he could roughly reconstruct the truth. “Did she get rejected by you?!”

Gu Xun rubbed his neck in annoyance, which was tantamount to admitting it.

Jiang Junnan: “What’s wrong with you?! She’s Yue Qianling! Yue Qianling!”

“I’m already annoyed enough. Can you be quiet for a moment?”

Gu Xun turned and pushed him away, heading back to his own apartment.

Jiang Junnan didn’t understand why Gu Xun’s mood changed so quickly and was completely puzzled. “Aren’t you going back to school?”

“Go back to hell.”

Once inside, Luo Tuo and Xiao Mai sent their greetings again.

【Xiao Mai】: I still can’t figure out what kind of bizarre thing this is. Even novels wouldn’t dare to write it like this.

【Luo Tuo】: So, what are you going to do?

【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: …I don’t know. My brain can’t process it.

【Luo Tuo】: ?

In fact, two hours ago.

When Yue Qianling uttered the name “Gu Xun,” Gu Xun felt for the first time that his brain couldn’t function.

Is she talking about me?

It definitely can’t be me, right?

Although I am indeed from Jiangbin Campus of Nanjing University, I did reject a confession from a campus belle this morning, and I am indeed called Gu Xun.

However, she definitely can’t be talking about me.

Even Xiao Mai didn’t seem to believe the reality he had heard.

【Xiao Mai】: So, you’re the idiot I’m going to chop with a knife???

【Xiao Mai】: This can’t be possible! How can such a coincidence happen!

【Luo Tuo】: Of course, it’s impossible. It must be just a cold guy with the same name, surname, and school.

【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: Guo Luo, do you think you’re very funny?

Gu Xun couldn’t laugh at all.

How could they be the same person?

Apart from the similarity of their voices, he could hardly find a second thing in common.

From the impression they gave, it was very difficult for him to overlap the images of these two people.

Moreover, when he had a little suspicion last year, didn’t she say she never played mobile games?

Can someone who can take down 18 people in a row, like the king of the battleground, have any connection with a timid and introverted woman?

So, how did they become the same person?!

Gu Xun sat on the sofa for nearly two hours, as if he were glued.

The last time he was so dazed was when the development team couldn’t solve the engine problem last year, and he sat on the balcony to clear his mind.

But even developing a game engine independently for a short time didn’t consume brain cells like this.

And the scene of him rejecting Yue Qianling that morning kept repeating like a virus in his mind.

Every word he said, every impatient expression, was vividly remembered.

He felt like he was watching a fool from a third-person perspective.

For the first time in his life, Gu Xun felt a sense of panic and helplessness because of something he did.

He didn’t know how Yue Qianling was doing at the moment.

Was she still crying? Was she still sad? Would she do something impulsive?

So he opened Yue Qianling’s WeChat chat box and edited about ten or so opening lines, but didn’t send a single one.

In the end, he just gently tapped her, wanting to test her mood at the moment.

The answer he got was a bit different from what he expected.

It seemed like she wasn’t very sad, just a bit angry?

Gu Xun thought about it but still wasn’t very certain, so he decided to go to school to find an answer.

However, the sound of that slamming door just now had already given him the answer.

Indeed, she was a bit angry.

***

The moment that door was closed, Yue Qianling leaned against it, her breathing could not be calmed down for a long time.

What kind of bad luck is this?

Why is God always joking with her?

And just thinking about the complicated look in Gu Xun’s eyes while looking at her, she was embarrassed beyond measure.

Could it be that her image in front of Gu Xun was already this embarrassing?

Well, it couldn’t be that bad. She didn’t remember doing anything overly persistent in front of him.

But the facts were in front of her. For anyone, moving next door right after confessing would seem intentional.

No way.

Just thinking about it made her toes curl.

But what could she do?

The contract had been signed, and she had already paid the deposit. She couldn’t possibly move away and bear the penalty for breaking the contract just because of being rejected, right?!

Absolutely not.

Being rejected was embarrassing enough, and she couldn’t just move away in a huff, which would make it seem like she was validating his suspicions.

Thinking of this, Yue Qianling immediately began cleaning.

Although her one-person apartment wasn’t big, thoroughly cleaning it still took quite some time.

It wasn’t until ten o’clock in the evening that Yue Qianling remembered she had forgotten to eat dinner because she was too absorbed in her work.

When she snapped out of it, she found that she didn’t have much appetite either.

It was probably because she had her fill with that look from Gu Xun.

Yue Qianling didn’t want to bother anymore, so she simply took a shower and prepared to go to bed early.

However, when she came out of the bathroom and was about to turn on the air conditioner, she found that the remote control showed no response at all.

She stared at it for a moment, opened the back cover, and saw two perfectly fine batteries inside.

She tapped the button hard, but there was still no response.

Did the battery run out?

Yue Qianling glanced at the time, and it wasn’t too late, so she changed her clothes and went out to buy batteries.

But as soon as she opened the door a crack, she heard some movement from the opposite side.

Yue Qianling’s movements stopped subconsciously, and her heart tensed again.

After staring at the doorknob for a moment, Yue Qianling took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked out.

The person coming out from the opposite side was Jiang Junnan, and the two happened to make eye contact.

Yue Qianling sighed in relief and nodded at him.

Jiang Junnan thought about how Yue Qianling had been rejected by Gu Xun today, and for some reason, he felt inexplicably embarrassed for his roommate. He didn’t dare to look at Yue Qianling directly, and licked his lips before awkwardly asking, “Why are you still going out so late?”

“Well, I need to buy something.”

Yue Qianling said as she walked towards the elevator, and Jiang Junnan followed behind her.

After pressing the elevator button, Yue Qianling asked, “What about you?”

“I’m getting takeout.”

Jiang Junnan replied, “What are you buying? Is it heavy? Do you need help?”

The elevator arrived, and the two of them walked in together. Yue Qianling pressed the ground floor button, and then calmly said, “No, thanks. I’m just buying some small things.”

Jiang Junnan made a sound of acknowledgment and sneakily glanced at Yue Qianling.

She was only wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and shorts. Her hair was freshly washed, still not completely dry, hanging wet against her back.

There was no trace of makeup on her face, and her skin was clear and fair. Her side profile showed a smooth and delicate contour, and her eyelashes were almost level with the bridge of her nose.

Jiang Junnan was puzzled and took out his phone, discreetly sending a message to Gu Xun.
【Jiang Junnan】: I really can’t understand, you actually rejected Yue Qianling. What’s wrong with your brain? Or do you actually like men?

The other person quickly replied with a voice message.

Jiang Junnan immediately opened the voice message, but before he could place the phone close to his ear, Gu Xun’s voice came out.

His speech was very fast.

“Can’t you fucking stop mentioning Yue Qianling? Can’t you tell that I’m annoyed?”

“……”
