After sitting down, Gu Ran finished the steak he was eating.
At this moment, the waiter brought over a new portion, which he then took and continued cutting the meat.
Lu Mingfei looked at the four plates in front of him and said, "You've been starving for three days and now you want to eat a whole cow?"
"I'm so hungry..." Gu Ran said, cutting meat with her head down, but she didn't eat the meat she had cut. "I haven't had time to eat properly these past few days."
The three students from Kassel College all wanted to ask what the mission was, but with Su Xiaoqiang present, they didn't ask.
Su Xiaoqiang looked at Gu Ran's face and saw the weariness in his eyes, feeling a little heartache.
A little while later, the waiter came over and brought the dishes that everyone had ordered to the table.
"Put that steak here." Gu Ran placed the sliced steak in front of Su Xiaoqiang, then asked the waiter to give her the newly delivered steak.
Su Xiaoqiang felt a sweet warmth in his heart; he still remembered these little things.
However, she felt sorry for her boyfriend being too tired, so she said, "You eat, I can do it myself."
"I've almost finished eating." Gu Ran smiled at her. "Eat it while it's hot."
Because of the cheerful Lee Eun-sook, the atmosphere at the meal was quite pleasant.
After everyone finished breakfast, Gu Ran smiled at Fingel and said, "Senior brother, you owe me something. You're not planning to renege on your debt, are you?"
It's about Lu Mingfei's 3E exam betting game. Gu Ran bets $100,000 and can win 71% of the $150,000, which is about $107,000.
"Don't worry, I, Fingel, am known throughout the school for my excellent gambling etiquette!" With that, Fingel took out a pre-prepared check and handed it to Gu Ran.
The amount on the check is: US$20.7523.
This is money including principal and interest.
With both odd and even numbers, my senior's gambling skills are indeed quite good.
Although Fingel gave the check to Gu Ran, he still felt a little heartache.
He only made a little over ten thousand US dollars from this betting operation.
He owed $30,000 and originally planned to make a fortune this time to pay off his debts completely.
But unexpectedly, Gu Ran interfered and took the lion's share.
Manstein then got involved again, taking a cut of over 20,000, which was also a profit for him.
Fingel still doesn't understand how Gu Ran was so certain that Lu Mingfei would pass the 3E exam.
Is it true that Lu Mingfei is the principal's illegitimate son?
But in any case, the act of placing the bet is already a fait accompli.
Moreover, he has been freeloading off Gu Ran all this time.
As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to him, and he who eats a man's food is bound to him," so now, Fingel can't say anything more to Gu Ran and can only accept his defeat.
Gu Ran handed the check to Su Xiaoqiang and whispered in her ear, "Keep it safe. This is the money I'll use to marry you in the future."
Su Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, rolled her eyes at him, but still happily put the check away.
“Gu Ran oppa is back! We can go shopping in Chicago together!” Lee Eun-sook said happily.
Su Xiaoqiang frowned as she looked at Gu Ran's tired eye bags and said, "Let's not go shopping anymore. Your brother is tired and needs to rest first."
“Yes, yes, we have to go back to school!” Lu Mingfei gave Li Enshu a wink. “I remember we have class this afternoon.”
"Hey, let's not go, we can just skip class. What college student actually pays attention in class?" Lee Eun-sook said, pointing at Fingel with dissatisfaction. "Look at this senior, he's already in eighth grade, and he sleeps in his dorm every day."
"Little brat, what do you know? I'm just building up my strength!" Fingel said angrily. "When I get serious, I can take on all three of you by myself!"
"With your mere F-rank..."
Lee Eun-sook raised her little pink fist, eager to test her skills against Finger.
The two were at loggerheads and wanted to say something more, but Lu Mingfei interrupted them.
He said to Lee Eun-sook, "Why are you being a third wheel when the young couple is trying to date?"
"Oh...right!" Lee Eun-sook seemed to only then remember, giving the two of them a sly look. "Then let's hurry up and go, so as not to disturb Gu Ran oppa and sister-in-law from going back to their room to get intimate..."
"Mind your own business!" Su Xiaoqiang blushed and looked down at the tips of her shoes.
Lu Mingfei pulled Li Enshu back to the hotel room, and the three of them packed their things and went back to school.
……
Hotel suite.
Gu Ran hadn't showered for two days, so the first thing she did upon arriving at her room was to take a long, hot shower.
After taking a shower, I felt refreshed and more energetic.
He sat on the sofa, and Su Xiaoqiang took a hairdryer and dried his hair.
Gu Ran's hair wasn't long, so after wiping it with a towel, she used a hairdryer to dry it quickly.
Chapter 114 Lulling Me to Sleep
Gu Ran didn't bring any change of clothes, so she was wearing a bathrobe.
The clothes that Su Xiaoqiang had changed out of were sent to the hotel's laundry department for cleaning by room service.
After being separated for more than a month, the couple finally had time to spend together.
Su Xiaoqiang put down the hairdryer, suddenly hugged her boyfriend tightly from behind, and whispered, "I'm sorry..."
Gu Ran knew that she was blaming herself, feeling that her sudden arrival without prior notice had disrupted Gu Ran's plans.
He reached out and touched his girlfriend's cheek behind him, saying, "It's nothing, you just wanted to surprise me."
“But you look very tired…” Su Xiaoqiang hugged her boyfriend and wrapped her arms around his waist, gently pressing his six-pack abs.
Then, she rested her chin on her friend's shoulder and whispered, "Have you not been getting enough rest since you rushed back?"
"No, it's because the mission... was a bit mentally taxing. I just stayed up late and haven't slept much these past two days." Gu Ran rested his face on her rounded thighs, enjoying the lap pillow.
He said, "Just let me get some sleep."
"Then let's get into bed quickly." Su Xiaoqiang touched her boyfriend's cheek with her small hand, and looking at his heavy eye bags, she felt really sorry for him.
She had never seen her boyfriend look this tired.
"Aren't you in such a hurry? It's not even dark yet!" Gu Ran looked up at his girlfriend's pretty face and said with a mischievous smile.
Su Xiaoqiang pinched her boyfriend's cheek with her fair fingertips: "You're so tired, and you're still joking. I'm telling you to go to bed and rest now."
Gu Ran got up and walked back to his room. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at his girlfriend.
"Would you like to change into your pajamas too?" he asked his girlfriend, pretending to tremble. "I'm scared to sleep alone in a strange place!"
Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Go to sleep!"
Gu Ran thought her expression at that moment was so alluring.
He smiled as he returned to his room, drew the curtains, and closed the windows to avoid the noise affecting his sleep.
He had just lain down on the bed when he suddenly saw Su Xiaoqiang walk into his room.
She then changed into a light purple low-cut nightgown, revealing a large expanse of white skin. The nightgown was very short, just past her hips, exposing her pair of snow-white, slender legs to the air.
Gu Ran sat on the bed and smiled at his girlfriend, "Changing into my pajamas is a perk of mine, why isn't it?"
Su Xiaoqiang blushed as she walked to the bedside, placed her hands on Gu Ran's shoulders, and gently pressed him down onto the bed, making him lie flat.
"If you're naughty, you won't get any perks."
Gu Ran took her hand and made her lean against him.
The two hugged for a while, feeling each other's body temperature.
"Go to sleep now." Su Xiaoqiang kissed his forehead and covered him with the blanket.
In October, the temperature in Chicago has already started to drop, with daytime temperatures around 17 degrees Celsius.
Gu Ran looked at his girlfriend's low-cut nightgown. She didn't like wearing too many things when she slept, so she wasn't wearing a bra.
He pulled back the covers and patted the empty space next to him: "It's chilly, come in and warm the bed, let me hug you."
Su Xiaoqiang had actually known this would happen, so she obediently crawled into bed and covered herself with the blanket.
As soon as she lay down, Gu Ran wrapped his arms around her slender waist and held her in his embrace.
"Put me in your arms, I can't sleep without someone to comfort me," he said coquettishly, gently biting her earlobe.
Su Xiaoqiang was taken aback. Had her boyfriend been acting cute and affectionate with her too many times today?
Like a child.
"Go to sleep now, sweetie. I'll give you something delicious when you wake up."
"I don't want anything delicious."
"Then what do you want?"
"I want you……"
"...Go to sleep!"
Su Xiaoqiang leaned against him, holding her boyfriend's hands to keep him from getting restless.
But she wanted to see her boyfriend's face, so she turned around, put one arm around his waist, and gently stroked his strong back rhythmically.
It's like putting a child to sleep.
The two locked eyes, and Su Xiaoqiang couldn't resist giving him a gentle kiss.
She had so many thoughts she wanted to convey.
It took her twenty minutes to finish conveying all her longing.
"Do you remember when you pretended to be asleep on Tianding Mountain?" Gu Ran put one arm around his girlfriend's smooth shoulder and whispered in her ear.
Su Xiaoqiang grabbed the other hand that had been touching her thigh and said, "So you knew I was pretending to be asleep back then?"
"When you were closing the door, I saw you peek through your eyes," Gu Ran said with a smile.
Su Xiaoqiang wrapped her arms around his waist, and the two of them faced each other in the blankets, getting even closer.
