However, Gu Ruoxue glared at him.
Then she started eating slowly with a spoon. After a while, she showed a look of surprise: "It tastes surprisingly good..."
"I suggest you try the salty version with chili and cilantro next time."
Hearing this, Gu Ruoxue frowned, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable, but she quickly adjusted herself and did not show it, but instead began to taste the tofu pudding carefully.
But just as the two were quietly enjoying their breakfast, the sound of news coming from the TV in the store made Su Cheng's face suddenly stiffen!
"According to the reporter's report, the earthquake did not cause any casualties to people or livestock, but cracks appeared in the walls of some people's houses and the roofs and ceilings fell off. Currently, a total of six households have been affected to varying degrees, five houses were damaged, and 6 people were relocated. The earthquake caused direct economic losses of 5 yuan, and the disaster situation is still being further verified and counted."
Gu Ruoxue naturally noticed Su Cheng's emotional fluctuations and asked softly, "What do you want to do?"
"I think…"
Su Cheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I want to donate money to them, so that I can feel a little less guilty."
After listening to his explanation, Gu Ruoxue naturally understood, but she also advised: "Su Cheng, there will naturally be people to provide disaster relief..."
"No, since it was caused by me, I must take the responsibility."
Su Cheng shook his head and interrupted Gu Ruoxue.
"Then do you have the money to afford it?" Gu Ruoxue retorted with a frown.
"Ah."
Su Cheng chuckled, as if money was not important at all to him as a time traveler. He wiped his mouth calmly, then raised two fingers nonchalantly without saying a word.
This action made Gu Ruoxue a little stunned. How could the man who had sold himself for 600,000 yuan suddenly become so righteous? This made her a little confused for a moment.
Could it be that he was pretending before?
But Su Cheng's next words made her face darken and veins on her forehead popped out.
"Just find that orange cat and let it scratch me to see if I can get a reward. If I can, then I'll just repeat it twenty times!"
(Today is Dragon Boat Festival, 8,000 words!)
Chapter 8
After being silent for a long time, Gu Ruoxue took a deep breath and said in a cold tone: "Your brain seems to have evaporated due to the temperature. It's so empty that I can even hear the sound of the wind blowing directly from one side of your ear to the other. It's simply inexplicable."
Su Cheng was unhappy when he heard this. He said seriously, "Even if you are a cat lover, there is no need to be so sharp-tongued, right?"
"As the person involved, didn't you notice the rules and settings of rewards and punishments?" Gu Ruoxue spoke word by word, her voice extremely clear.
Although what she just said was a bit extreme, there was a reason for it.
Regardless of whether this self-harming behavior is correct, she felt that the act of retaliating against the cat twenty times was too much. What's more, the previous condition for triggering the task was clearly that someone Su Cheng cared about was harmed, which triggered the so-called task.
When the unfinished building was under construction, Su Cheng also told her the two tasks in detail, so she knew very well that only the people Su Cheng cared about would trigger the relevant tasks.
And the so-called punishment is also to punish the people he cares about. According to Su Cheng's narration, a girl in the welfare home who grew up with him was almost hit by an electric fan during the earthquake.
It is an indisputable fact that the triggering conditions and punishment consequences of the two different tasks are both related to the people he cares about.
So she didn't understand why this time traveler not only didn't think, but his thinking and behavior patterns were also so childish!
Su Cheng was stunned.
After a long moment of thinking, he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't think it through."
After she reminded him, he realized that he had made a serious mistake, that is, he had overlooked the most basic things.
"So, now that you understand, what do you want to do?"
Seeing that Su Cheng understood, Gu Ruoxue asked.
"Then do the best you can."
Su Cheng looked at Gu Ruoxue seriously and said.
Gu Ruoxue nodded immediately and said nothing more.
The two of them enjoyed breakfast at the dining table.
A few minutes later,
Su Cheng wiped the corner of his mouth, took out five dollars from his pocket and put them on the table. Then, he looked at Gu Ruoxue, who was incredibly beautiful even while eating, and asked, "Let me wait for you here. Do you have something important to say?"
Just at this moment, Gu Ruoxue also finished eating, put down the spoon in her hand, wiped her mouth, and her dignified sitting posture and indifferent expression did not prove that she was from a prominent family.
"Well, I hope you can go to the library with me." Gu Ruoxue looked up at him and said, "I want to look up some books. Maybe you can help."
"okay."
Su Cheng readily agreed to this.
After all, the other party did it for him.
Then Gu Ruoxue packed up her things, took him out of the breakfast shop, and walked towards the school.
On the road, the two did not walk side by side. Su Cheng followed closely behind her two meters away.
As for why this is the case?
Because the picture of the two of them standing together was too weird, and Gu Ruoxue standing next to him looked like a photoshopped image, and he was very self-aware and understood that walking together would only bring trouble to both of them.
"Stop!"
But the next second, Su Cheng had to remind Gu Ruoxue again, because he found that this young lady didn't know the exact location of the library at all. She even ignored the sign and tried to walk straight forward, so he had no choice but to remind her.
After hearing Su Cheng's reminder, Gu Ruoxue stopped running around blindly and started looking for the landmark buildings around her. But the key point was that she was clearly standing in front of the bookstore...
Such behavior caused Su Cheng to sigh inwardly: this woman's IQ is obviously quite high, but she is either directionally challenged or afraid of heights.
There are still many problems...
"Look up."
Su Cheng felt a little helpless and reminded him again.
Gu Ruoxue looked up as she was told and found a store with the sign "Qiuzhiguan". However, the problem was that it didn't look like a library store at all.
She frowned, then walked inside without hesitation.
Su Cheng followed closely behind.
Gu Ruoxue took a quick look around and found that it was indeed a library. She then ignored Su Cheng and began to focus on various books. In less than ten minutes, the books on the table had been piled into three small hills.
Su Cheng sat opposite him and observed carefully, and found that the books were basically about psychology, medicine, and pharmacy, and there were also many papers and even a few online articles. Obviously, she was reading these books for him.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng was suddenly moved. He coughed lightly and said, "Well...thank you."
Gu Ruoxue paused in turning the pages of the book, then looked up at Su Cheng, then looked back at the book, as if she hadn't heard anything at all.
But seeing that there were online books among the books, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why do you read these books?"
“I think it has some reference value.”
Gu Ruoxue said simply without even raising her head.
In her opinion, she didn't understand the special effect of the ring that the system rewarded yesterday. However, Su Cheng successfully judged the ability of the ring based on the online literature he had read before.
Therefore, she believes that it has certain reference value.
Hearing this, Su Cheng had no choice but to hold back his complaints and said no more. However, he couldn't just sit there doing nothing, so he took out a book called "The Best Memory Book in the World" from the pile of books and started reading.
However, after just a few minutes he couldn't continue reading, so he put it back and shifted his attention to studying another book.
Although he was reading a book, his eyes would always unconsciously glance at Gu Ruoxue sitting opposite him.
Everyone pursues beautiful things, and he is no exception.
Especially at this moment, Gu Ruoxue, the scene of reading the book was as peaceful and elegant as an ancient lady, quiet and beautiful, which was pleasing to the eye.
Literary girl.
Yes, that’s right, a literary beauty…
only…
Become a couple...
When Su Cheng thought of this, he quickly shook his head, getting rid of the ridiculous thoughts in his mind, and continued to read with his head down.
Time passed little by little, and Su Cheng finally couldn't resist the call of sleepiness and slowly closed his eyes.
Gu Ruoxue closed the book in her hand and was about to pick up another one when she unexpectedly found Su Cheng sleeping on the table. Without hesitation, she reached out and pushed him, saying in a somewhat cold tone, "Hey, wake up."
Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes, and saw a beautiful face close to him. He blinked, but his reflexes were slow. After making sure that he was not in a dream, he immediately sat up and explained awkwardly: "Sorry, I just fell asleep... Is there something wrong?"
Gu Ruoxue was silent for a moment, then said, "Although the heating is on, the temperature is still very low. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Oh, thanks for the reminder."
"Go back."
At this point, Gu Ruoxue glanced at the time and continued, "See you at the breakfast shop at the same time tomorrow."
"Need not."
Su Cheng shook his head. After all, the other party had not slept for a day and a night for him, but now he was still reading a book seriously.
How can he leave with the nerve?
So he stood up and said to her, "Do you want anything to eat or drink? Just tell me."
Gu Ruoxue naturally understood that the other party also wanted to stay and help, so she pursed her lips and said after a few breaths of silence, "American coffee."
"OK, just a second."
After Su Cheng finished speaking, he quickly ran out. He remembered that there was a coffee shop nearby, but he had never been there. Not to mention coffee shops, he had only been to the most popular milk tea shop among students a few times.
Ten minutes later, he walked back to the bookstore with a cup of steaming hand-brewed coffee. After handing it to Gu Ruoxue, he stood aside quietly.
Gu Ruoxue looked at the disposable package of coffee that needed to be poked with a straw before drinking, then marked it with a bookmark and closed the book.
Then, she adjusted her sitting position, held up the coffee with both hands, warmed her hands first, then opened the straw, inserted it, and tasted it slowly.
While drinking, she looked up at Su Cheng, only to find that he was not drinking the drink, but holding a book and staring at her. So she put down the coffee in her hand and asked calmly, "Didn't you buy one for yourself?"
Su Cheng was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't like bitter drinks, not to mention I'm not thirsty."
"Oh."
Gu Ruoxue responded calmly, continued to hold the coffee in both hands, took a few sips, and then continued, "You don't have to be so stubborn."
"I didn't try to be brave."
Su Cheng sighed and said solemnly: "And I think it is necessary for me to do this."
Gu Ruoxue was silent. No one knew what she was thinking and she didn't say anything else.
A few seconds later…
"That…"
Gu Ruoxue cast her eyes towards the books she had finished reading, and then said seriously, "Could you please put these books back to their original bookshelf?"
"Ok."
"Thank you."
"Easy to do."
Su Cheng nodded and began to organize the books she had finished reading, putting them back to their original positions on the shelves according to the numbers. After putting them away, he returned and continued reading his book.
Then, they seemed to fall into a strange silence again. Except for the occasional sound of turning pages, there was no other noise...
Gu Ruoxue reads very quickly. Before Su Cheng finished one book, she had already finished four or five.
So he put the books back on the original bookshelf, but this time one of the books he put back caught his attention. This was the book he had read before.
The World's Greatest Memory Book
He felt a headache after just a few glances. It was too boring and the more he read, the sleepier he felt...
I didn’t expect Gu Ruoxue to have actually finished reading it.
This surprised him...
You know, she didn’t sleep last night either!
An inexplicable desire to win or lose emerges.
