Chapter 645: Kuo Ruan

owardly person, since he came, it must be all out. Although these years of city life made him less sensitive to the wild, Ding Zhi's cooperation could make up for it. 。He was simply in awe of life, a...Ruan Ruan doesn't always go out to see him, and their relationship remains somewhat strained. She wants a clear answer from Lu Kuo, but he has never brought it up.

She thought, maybe it wasn't enough love. If she truly loved him, she wouldn't be able to hide it; she would want to tell him. It was like how he used to like that girl in high school—everyone knew about it.

She no longer looked forward to things the way she used to, nor did she pressure him, giving them both enough space to get along. Things would just happen naturally. Like this time when she took her students out for plein air painting, she didn't tell him about it either.

She dozed off on the train, dreaming of Lu Kuò who kept smiling and beckoning her in her dream. When she ran towards him with joy, he turned around and ran ahead, leaving her behind.

Her head sank heavily, and she woke up abruptly, only to realize that she had fallen asleep leaning against Mr. Yuan's shoulder. She immediately blushed and felt very embarrassed.

Yuan Li let out a sigh and loosened her shoulders. Sitting still for over an hour really took its toll.

"Mr. Gu, are you awake If you don't wake up soon, I'm afraid my shoulders won't be able to hold on any longer." He was straightforward and didn't put on any act at all.

"Sorry, can I give you a shoulder massage" These long-time desk workers weren't doing so well with their shoulder issues, and Ruan was very empathetic. So she blurted out:

"Okay, please trouble Teacher Gu."

Yuan Li Ge was really standing with his back to her, waiting for her to help him massage his shoulders.

I was taken aback, unexpectedly he agreed to my impulsive suggestion. I had no choice but to grit my teeth and cross my arms, pounding his right shoulder with each fist. Every punch sent a strange feeling through me. Glancing at the time, there were still thirty minutes left, every second felt like an eternity.

They got up, full of excitement, and started chatting with each other. At the same time, they all noticed the teacher's position.

Some students were gushing and blindly praising: "Wow, Teacher Gu even knows how to give massages His technique looks so professional."

A student asked: "Teacher Yuan, are you comfortable"

“Would you like to feel the teacher’s technique too Come, let me give you a rub as well.” She used the opportunity to escape the awkwardness from before, moving from Yuan Liguo's position and out of the way. Without regard for whether or not the male student agreed, she stood behind him, motioning for him to sit down, and began massaging his shoulders.

The onlookers burst into laughter, and the boy who was pushed yelled.

"Mr. Gu, please spare my life."

He kept shrinking his head towards his neck, curling up into a ball. Ruan Ruan laughed, and then stopped, but she didn't go back to her seat. She stood beside the student desks instead.

The train is about to arrive, and Yuan Liguo also got up to help the girls take their luggage down from the rack. He was tall, so he could easily reach it with a gentle hand.

After leaving the high-speed rail station, Ruan Ruan and the students boarded a large bus they had booked in advance, going directly to their pre-booked homestay.

Yuan Liguo stood at the roadside waiting for a car. He hadn't booked one in advance.

Ruan Ruan had initially breathed a sigh of relief at not having to interact with him anymore. The awkwardness on the high-speed train just now was unbearable. But, they were colleagues, and there were plenty of empty seats on the bus. It didn't seem right to just leave like that.

Before she could speak, the last girl to get on the bus beat her to it and asked:

"Mr. Yuan, where do you live"

Yuan Liguo: "Not sure yet, will look in Yicun when I get there. What about you guys"

"We live in Wufang Xiazhu, Yicun."

"As for the car, she also said: 'Teacher Yuan, why don't you come with us on our bus to Yicun There are still some seats available.'"

"Okay, thank you."

Yuan Lige then went straight over and got in the car behind her.

After getting on the bus, the students proactively gave up their two adjacent seats. This was a normal behavior, but because she slept on someone's shoulder on the high-speed train and even offered to give them a shoulder massage afterward, she was now in an awkward situation and was afraid that Teacher Yuan would misunderstand her. So when sitting next to him, she sat straight and kept looking out the window, determined not to fall asleep again.

Yuan Lige suddenly chuckled beside him: "Teacher Gu, are you nervous sitting with me"

Ruan Ruan blushed and quickly denied it. Actually, she wasn't nervous at all, just embarrassed. His words made her even more embarrassed.

Fortunately, it's not far from the high-speed rail station to Yicun, and it takes less than an hour to get there.

The bus stopped directly in front of the guesthouse at Wufang Xiazhu. Since it was off-season, there were many vacant rooms, so Yuan Liguo checked in directly to the guesthouse. This made Ruan Ruan feel as if this time, when she brought students for sketching, it was like she and Teacher Yuan were leading the team together.

On the first day, we mainly focused on checking in and resting. It was late afternoon when we arrived, but the students, despite having spent a whole day traveling, were still full of energy and playing around in the courtyard of the homestay.

Wúwéi Xiǎozhù is a typical Huizhou-style building, with white walls and gray tiles. Sunlight falls from the eaves of the high roof onto the courtyard, bringing a hazy romantic feeling.

The students were making a racket. Ruann sat quietly in the corner of the courtyard, reading a book, her phone buzzing with notifications every now and then.

It's Lu Kuò, he asked: Are you on a business trip

“

Yes.

"In Yicun"

"How did you know"

Lu Kuò did not reply.

He not only knew she was in Yicun, but also that she was with Yuan Ligao.

His "little spy", the boy who played basketball with him, called him brother, but after getting on the high-speed train, he has been constantly posting videos on his Moments.

Lu Kuo had just finished his work and casually opened his Moments. He saw that a video was trending, and he didn't intend to click on it at first. However, the cover of one video showed Ruanruan and Yuan Ligao…

A series that's so eye-catching, it makes you want to jump into the video and pull the two people sitting next to each other apart.e, but he can afford it. It's worth giving to Mrs. Gu to win over Young Master Gu's favor, but giving it to his own girlfriend That would be throwing money away. 。But Mrs. Gu was staring at him so int...
