Chapter 54 - Couple Standards

 When Chen Ruoyu got in the car her face was still red. Meng Gu sat in the driver's seat and was staring at her with a smile.

She urged him to start driving, but he did not want to move.

"I don't want to send you back so early."

She was a little shy and happy to hear this, "Then we can go strolling somewhere else." Actually, she did not want to part with him so quickly either.

Meng Gu drove the car to a park, parked the car and the two people strolled into the park side by side.

As they were walking around, Chen Ruo Yu held Meng Gu's arm, "Dr. Meng, did you used to walk with your previous girlfriends like this..." She gestured her hand holding his arm, "Or like this?" She switched and held his hand.

"We just walked on our own." Meng Gu let go of her hand and walked shoulder to shoulder, "Just like this, alongside each other."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why didn't you walk together like a couple?"

"Isn't it bothersome to drag someone around? Am I a child, will I get lost? Also when walking around holding hands, sometimes it'll be inconvenient so you'll have to let go, and then hold again, it's too troublesome."

Chen Ruo Yu's mouth twitched, she was a little unhappy.

"What do you like?" Meng Gu asked her.

"With my previous boyfriend, I used to like to hold his arm..." Chen Ruo Yu said before she was interrupted by Meng Gu, "You don't need to tell me about before."

Chen Ruo Yu ignored him and continued, "...but you're taller, and you have a large palm, and it seems it would be very comfortable to hold." She stuffed her hand in his, it was really comfortable.

She let go of his hand and said, "But my ex-boyfriend didn't like me to hold him while walking around, you men are so strange."

"You women are the ones who are strange. What is exactly good about being dragged around?"

"To increase your sense of intimacy, you can also declare your sovereignty. You don't have to say anything, just walking together on the street will be able to let people know, look this man is my boyfriend." She raised her chin up a little.

"Even if the people on the street don't know, that man is still your boyfriend, is there any good in announcing it?"

"It's not the same thing, this is about a sense of intimacy, feeling happy while walking, and it is also a popular simple way of couples expressing their emotions." Chen Ruo Yu couldn't help but look down on him again, "Dr. Meng, how did you have three relationships?"

Meng Gu did not say anything and only looked down at her hand.

"Okay." he reached out and took her hand, "I will let you declare your sovereignty that this man is your boyfriend."

Chen Ruo Yu let go of his hand, "It doesn't matter, I don't want to declare that this man is my boyfriend."

She didn't want him to intentionally change it, both of them will mutually work together, and she hoped that Meng Gu would be comfortable too. Walking was a trivial matter, she didn't mind.

"Hey." but Meng Gu minded, "Why are you changing your mind?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Hold it." He insisted.

Chen Ruo Yu was a little happy, and let him hold her hand. The two wandered around for a while holding hands, then Chen Ruo Yu let go of his hand and held his arm.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to compare which way is more comfortable."

Meng Gu's face darkened, "Chen Ruo Yu, you are really bored."

Chen Ruo Yu grinned and announced, "I still prefer to hold the arm."

Seeing her smiling face, his expression became helpless, and he finally gave up and let her do as she liked, holding onto his arm and kept walking around.

After walking for a while, Meng Gu finally announced that walking was not easy for men, so he found a bench, and they sat down.

There were no people around, it was very quiet. There was a street light beside the bench, and the warm light was shining down.

Chen Ruo Yu looked at the side of Meng Gu's face. She thought that at the time when he fell in love with Qi Yao, he must have also liked to take pictures, also liked walking hand in hand, a 20-year-old would definitely be different from a 30-year-old.

"What are you looking at?"

"Looking at my boyfriend." She said imitating his tone.

Meng Gu smiled, "Didn't you need to reconsider again?" He also imitated her tone.

"I'm inspecting." She wrinkled her nose, "Dr. Meng, I was thinking that you must have been more enthusiastic than you are now when you were 20-years-old."

Meng Gu smiled, he was about to speak when she said, "However, your current vision is much better than then."

He was stumped for words, she continued, "For some men, the older they get, the blinder they become, while your taste is getting better and better. I admire it very much. Young man, keep it up."

Meng Gu stared at her for a bit and then burst into laughter, "Chen Ruo Yu, your way of praising yourself is really tactful."

She puffed up her cheeks, "Am I wrong?"

"You're right, you're right." Meng Gu took her into his arms, "Chen Ruo Yu, fortunately, you only appeared now."

If she had appeared too early, he would not have fallen in love with her.

Chen Ruo Yu understood what he meant because she also thought so too.

If she had appeared too late, maybe it won't be her either.

"Chen Ruo Yu, fortunately, you pursued me."

"But I didn't succeed."

"Haven't you succeeded now?"

Chen Ruo Yu blanked for a bit. Wait a minute, this matter must still be considered.

"Dr. Meng, you just reminded me." Chen Ruo Yu sat up straight, cleared her throat, and seriously said, "Things are like this. I pursued you, you rejected me, so my pursuit ended. Then we became friends, then all of a sudden you said you want to be my boyfriend, although we are now dating in the inspection period, there is still an important missing link here."

Meng Gu looked at her and blinked, it seemed he did understand this situation.

"Dr. Meng, you haven't pursued me. You just unilaterally announced that you want to be my boyfriend, that's all."

"So...?"

"So now you should pursue me."

Meng Gu's face darkened, "Chen Ruo Yu, are you playing house?"

"I'm not playing. My request is very low, and does not involve too many tricks. I want you to do something for me, something that will make me happy." Chen Ruo Yu hurriedly said, then thought about it and added, "And you don't have to think about it, I have already thought about it for you, just get ready, you can do it."

"That so?" Meng Gu didn't really believe her words.

"Really."

"It's that simple, is it suitable for a 30-year-old man to do it?"

"Yes." Chen Ruo Yu nodded with an expectant expression looking forward to watching him.

Meng Gu still did not buy her words, "You tell me what it is first."

"You agree first."

He looked at her, she also looked back at him. The four eyes were opposing each other, and the two individuals both seemed keen on their standpoints.

Chen Ruo Yu's heart was drumming, she suddenly felt that she was being a little too willful. Will this make him dislike her? She was a little uneasy and so was about to give in first when she heard him say, "Okay, okay, I promise you, I will do something that will make you feel happy."

A feeling of warmth suddenly flowed into Chen Ruo Yu's heart.

He hadn't done anything yet but had just said the words.

Chen Ruo Yu bit her lip and wanted to snicker.

"It's that easy to make you happy."

She heard Meng Gu whispering and smiled openly. She took out her small book that had the lyrics from her bag, "Dr. Meng, I want you to sing a song for me."

She looked up and saw the face of her Mr. Tyrannosaurus was dark.

"Chen Ruo Yu, singing love songs, this kind of thing, how is suitable for a 30-year-old man to do?"

Chen Ruo Yu blinked, wasn't it suitable?

"I didn't do this when I was 20 years old."

That's even better, then it's just for her, so she wants to hear him sing even more, "I have picked it out for you, I even wrote the lyrics."

Mr. Tyrannosaurus's expression became indescribable.

"You even wrote the lyrics?" His voice sounded quite dangerous.

She nodded.

"Chen Ruo Yu, you are beyond my imagination." He sounded even worse.

Was he not happy?

"You just promised."

"I promised to do something that will move you, I didn't promise to sing."

It turns out that there was actually a trap in his early concession. The warmth she just received in her heart immediately fell to the ground.

"But you don't even know what song you're going to sing." She still wanted to try a little more.

"I can't sing any songs!" He affirmatively said.

She felt low-spirited and squeezed her small book.

Meng Gu was silent for a while and then said, "I will do something else for you."

But that was not what she wanted. Chen Ruo Yu did not really know why but she was feeling a little sad.

"I will do something else for you." He said it again and asked her, "Alright?"

Chen Ruo Yu stared blankly for a while, how could she say no? It won't have any meaning if he was forced to sing a love song. It would be unreasonable for her to get angry with him over something like this, it would also incur dislike.

"Are you unhappy?"

She was not happy, but she shook her head. She put the book back into her bag. She looked up at Meng Gu and saw him looking at her a little cautiously.

She thought that he must be thinking that her asking him to sing was more exaggerated than his ex-girlfriends asking him to change his screensaver or to put their pictures in his wallet.

The good atmosphere was ruined by her.

She felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.

She was truly foolish. Also, perhaps she was lacking in personality.

Meng Gu reached over and held her hand, "I really can't sing." He explained.

She nodded and wanted to smile at him but found that she was a lot stingier than she thought. She opened her mouth and said, "When I was waiting for you at the hospital entrance today, I suddenly thought of the song, I hummed it to myself and came up with the lyrics, and sang it while I was waiting for you, and then I felt that the lyrics were especially suitable for the circumstances at the time, so..."

So she wanted him to sing it to her, and she will imagine that these were his words of love to her.

She was really silly.

Even if he sings, it doesn't mean that he loves her more, and even if he doesn't sing, it doesn't mean he loves her less. It was the same as even if she doesn't hold onto him while walking, he was nevertheless still her boyfriend.

When the two of them walked back to the car, Meng Gu silently reached out and held her hand.

On the way back, while Meng Gu was driving, Chen Ruo Yu looked at the side of his face and felt that the warmth of his big palm still seemed to be in her own hand. She suddenly smiled, "Dr. Meng, let me tell you, the name of the song is 'I want to see Chen Ruo Yu'. It is an excellent piece that has accumulated all my life's talents. In order not to let it be buried so pitifully in silence, I will sing it for you, and then you have to praise my talent."

Meng Gu was amused by her and nodded in agreement.

Chen Ruo Yu began to sing.

"If not because of loving you, how can I stay downstairs waiting for you?

After waiting for a long time, I miss you, miss you, want to see you.

If not because of loving you, how can I get off work to come to pick you up?

The cars on the road are very much. I miss you, miss you, want to see you.

Love is something that torments people. An accident arising from many causes of good and bad.

Driving, driving, don't worry, thinking of you in my heart."

As she said, she thought of today about how they had both been anxious to meet and rushed out and missed each other and were waiting, her mood suddenly felt a lot better.

Love ah, it really makes her feel sad and happy at the same time.

They got to a red light, and Meng Gu stopped the car. Chen Ruo Yu was swaying her head and continued to sing: "Love is something that torments people. An accident arising from many causes of good and bad. Driving, driving, don't worry, thinking of you in my heart."

Meng Gu suddenly leaned over, pulled her face and kissed her lips. His eyes looked deep and charming as he said, "Chen Ruo Yu, I really, really, really like you!"
