Gu Ruochu did not expect Old Lady Huo to have such a perfect throw. Huo Nanchen's grandmother loved baseball and was addicted to the game. She picked up more apples and threw them at Huo Nanchen. "I told you to hide. If you think you're so agile, why don't you hide from me again? I'm just venting my anger on behalf of your wife."
Gu Ruochu could not help but laugh at the side. She leaned on Old Lady Huo and asked lightly, "Is grandma on the baseball team? What a perfect throw!"
"I like to play baseball, and I like to smash people."
Huo Nanchen looked at his grandmother as she threw the next apple, but he did not dodge. Instead, he caught the apple steadily, and his eyes landed on Gu Ruochu. The corners of his lips curled into a smile.
"Has she calmed down?"
Old Lady Huo could tell that Huo Nanchen must have done something behind her back to provoke Ruochu. His gaze was deep and meaningful.
Gu Ruochu met his gaze and felt her scalp go numb. Lan Nuo did not know what to feel. She quietly observed the couple. It was the first time she had seen Huo Nanchen like this. It was quite a novelty.
"How are you going to appease your anger if you don't hit him?" Old Lady Huo glared at Huo Nanchen in a very imposing manner. She then picked up an apple from the table and aimed it at him. This time, he did not dodge it, and it hit his chest.
Huo Nanchen averted his gaze and picked up the apple from the ground.
Gu Ruochu's heart ached when she saw how hard Old Lady Huo had hit him. She quickly averted her gaze when he turned to look at her.
Huo Nanchen's grandmother finally stopped laughing and took Gu Ruochu's hand. "You already smashed his heart when you told me. If you don't calm down, I'll continue to smash it."
"Forget it. You've already helped me bully him back."
"Does your heart ache?"
Gu Ruochu was surprised by the question and remained speechless.
"All right. I understand. If this kid ever makes you angry again, you can tell your grandmother." Old Lady Huo patted the back of Gu Ruochu's hand and smiled kindly.
"Okay."
A dark light flashed in her eyes as she pulled Gu Ruochu up. She then walked with her towards Huo Nanchen and pushed Gu Ruochu into his arms. "All right, you two must have something to say to each other. An old woman like me has to go upstairs now."
Gu Ruochu instinctively wanted to resist Old Lady Huo's push, but Huo Nanchen took the opportunity to hug her tightly. "You're throwing yourself into my arms after having turned against me. I didn't expect you to be that kind of person."
"..."
"Get out of my way, I still have something to do." Gu Ruochu remembered Ning Tangxi's call and felt uncomfortable.
"What's the matter? I remember that Wang Gang asked you to go to the set in the afternoon." Seeing that there was no one around, he held her tightly and said in a low voice, "Grandma just hit me, and it hurt. You have to comfort me. Didn't I comfort you last night."
He loosened his grip, and Gu Ruochu took a step forward. However, he pressed her against the corner.
Gu Ruochu did not want to think about what had happened the previous night.
"Are you done? Put me down!"
"If you're not willing to comfort me, I won't put you down." He had now become shameless. He leaned over and bit her ear. The moisture on the tip of his tongue made her tremble.
"Look, you're not honest when you say that you don't want to use your body. Both of your legs are wrapped around my waist."
Gu Ruochu almost laughed when she heard his words. "What are you talking about? You sound so old-fashioned. You're so thick-skinned that I don't even want to talk to you. Shut up!"
Gu Ruochu quietly put her legs down. She was certain that she had acted involuntarily.
"Why are you shy? I like your actions, you little liar."
"Shut up! Shut up!" Gu Ruochu was embarrassed. However, at that moment, her heart throbbed a little faster.
