He reached out and took her hand, pulling her to sit beside him. Then he put his arm around her slender waist, pinched the flesh on her waist, and glanced at her.
"Don't say it!" Su Xiaoqiang pressed her finger to his lips. "I know I've gained weight, but you're not allowed to say it!"
Gu Ran didn't say anything, but reached out and pinched it again: "Being a little chubby is not bad, you feel fleshy. Anyway, it's winter, you don't need to wear crop tops, it's good to be a little chubby."
"I've just been busy with work these days and haven't been going to the gym as much!" Su Xiaoqiang made an excuse for herself.
In fact, ever since Gu Ran came to Japan for his internship, she has often come to visit him, so she naturally spends less time working out in Shanghai.
"I already told you there's no need to mind, a little more meat feels better!"
"When I gain weight, it's always my waist that gets bigger first, but when I lose weight, it's always my chest that gets thinner first! That's not fair!"
Gu Ran was both amused and exasperated; there was no reasoning with fat meat.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "But if you have more fat around your waist, you won't be so easily tickled!"
As he spoke, he reached out and tickled her waist.
Su Xiaoqiang is really ticklish and can't stand even the slightest tickle. At this moment, Gu Ran's fingertips are massaging the ribs on her waist, making her laugh and squirm.
"Stop tickling me, hehehe, I surrender, I surrender! Hahahaha!" Su Xiaoqiang laughed and lay on Gu Ran's chest, and only then did Gu Ran stop.
Su Xiaoqiang pinched the flesh on his waist and tickled his ribs in the same way he did, but he wasn't ticklish at all.
"That's not fair! You get to tickle me, but you're not ticklish at all!" she pouted. "Why is it that only you get to bully me?"
As she spoke, she pounded his large pectoral muscles with her small pink fists, getting harder and harder, pounding dozens of times until she was tired and stopped panting.
Looking at her adorable appearance, Gu Ran put his arm around her waist and looked down at her charming face with doting affection.
Su Xiaoqiang looked up and saw the calm expression on his face. She suddenly laughed and said, "You look like you're watching your daughter at home being spoiled."
Gu Ran was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "So, are you going to call me Dad?"
"If I dare to call out, do you dare to answer?"
"Try saying it?"
Su Xiaoqiang pouted and stared at him: "Dad."
"Good boy!" Gu Ran replied.
"Gu Ran, you're finished!" Su Xiaoqiang laughed. "I'm going to tell my dad when I get back!"
“You have to tell Dad about these private moments? Dad will just think you’re still a child!” Gu Ran pinched her cheek. “And don’t forget, you were the one who called me Dad first…”
"Traitor!" Su Xiaoqiang cursed under his breath.
"Then it's wrong of you to recognize a thief as your father!"
The two looked at each other for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter and hugged each other.
Su Xiaoqiang rested her chin on Gu Ran's shoulder: "Do you men all really like it when women call you 'Dad'?"
"When you call me 'Dad,' do you feel any sense of taboo or immoral excitement?" Gu Ran asked, his arm around her waist.
Su Xiaoqiang recalled that it was indeed a bit exciting when she shouted it out...
After bickering for a while, the two leaned against each other, sitting close together and quietly watching the night view outside.
Most of the time in this world, a person is always lonely, while a group of people is always noisy.
The two of them are just right; when they want to be lively, they play around together, and when they want peace and quiet, they quietly keep each other company.
Perhaps the happiness we know in this world is simply finding inner peace with our loved ones.
Just like the two of them at this moment, quiet and peaceful, yet content.
"Wow, look, a shooting star!" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly stretched out of the water and pointed to the sky.
A star, light-years away, after a long journey, was finally observed by a destined person on Earth many years later.
"I saw it," Gu Ran asked. "Did you make a wish?"
"No need to make a wish, my biggest wish in this life has already come true." Su Xiaoqiang hugged his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and felt a sense of satisfaction.
Her biggest wish was to be with him.
Gu Ran knew her intentions, so he turned his face, lowered his head slightly, and kissed her lips.
The hot spring water is smooth and washes away the grease, and the night is filled with clouds and rain.
*……*……*
The next morning, Gu Ran opened his eyes in bed and subconsciously turned his head to look at the sleeping beauty who was resting on his arm.
The two slept on the hotel's tatami mats last night. One advantage of tatami mats is that they offer a lot of room to move around, allowing you to move however you want.
Su Xiaoqiang had a satisfied smile on her lips in the early morning. She must have had a wonderful dream last night. Her face was still flushed, making her look charming and lovely.
Gu Ran felt the hand she was using as a pillow move slightly, touched her smooth shoulder, then turned her head slightly and kissed her forehead.
Sleeping Beauty was awakened by the prince's kiss. She opened her sleepy eyes, nuzzled his cheek with her nose, and gave him a random kiss on the corner of his mouth.
"Just a little longer, ten more minutes," she murmured. "Let me hold you for another ten minutes."
"But... I need to pee..." Gu Ran said honestly.
It's normal to feel a bit of an urge to pee first thing in the morning after holding it in all night, right?
Su Xiaoqiang seemed a little disappointed. She pouted and said somewhat unreasonably, "Hold it in, hold it in for ten minutes."
"What if I have a headache?"
"Headache? Bear with it!"
……
Ten minutes later, Su Xiaoqiang finished lying in bed, and Gu Ran immediately went to the toilet.
The sound of running water came from the toilet and lasted for about a minute.
After leaving the restroom, Gu Ran finally felt relieved.
Su Xiaoqiang got dressed in bed, shook her head with a smile, and then started combing her hair before changing into a comfortable sports sweatshirt.
Gu Ran then ordered room service to arrange breakfast.
For breakfast, they had special tuna rice balls and miso soup. There was plenty of rice balls, and Gu Ran ate seven or eight in one go.
After finishing their meal, Su Xiaoqiang wanted to visit Jigokudani (Hell Valley) and the brown bear zoo at the top of the mountain, which are also tourist attractions in the Noboribetsu area.
So Gu Ran changed her clothes, while Su Xiaoqiang braided her hair in front of the dressing mirror.
She asked a hotel maid to come up and help her braid her hair into a scorpion braid, finally tying the end with the gold ribbon that Gu Ran had given her the day before.
"This ribbon is so beautiful, it suits you perfectly." The maid was so skillful that she managed to tie a four-loop bow with a single ribbon.
Su Xiaoqiang pulled her braid up to her chest and looked at it. She then asked Gu Ran to take a picture of her to check, and finally, she was satisfied.
"Could you help me pick out some clothes again?" Su Xiaoqiang opened her suitcase and asked the maid to help her choose clothes for going out.
Gu Ran leaned against the door, knowing that women take a long time to choose clothes, so he went to the living room, turned on the TV, and prepared to watch an NBA game to pass the time.
Sure enough, after watching a quarter of the game, Su Xiaoqiang finally chose her clothes: a gray belted sweater and a gray wool short-sleeved shirt, paired with a black wool skirt and gray tights.
This outfit is very slimming, showing off her tall and slender figure. Paired with a pair of small leather shoes, she looks very refined.
"Does it look good?" Su Xiaoqiang happily twirled in front of Gu Ran, the ribbon of the bow fluttering along with her scorpion braid.
"It looks good." Gu Ran said immediately, happily and earnestly.
If he hesitated or wavered even slightly, she would go back to her room and choose another set.
Therefore, in order not to waste time, Gu Ran has already trained the standard answer.
"Then I won't bring a bag this time, you bring your wallet." Su Xiaoqiang put the handbag in the room, but took out the gun that Crow gave her yesterday and hid it in the inner layer of her sweater.
The hotel maid wasn't surprised to see the gun; she simply smiled and took her leave.
"You don't need to bring a gun, do you?" Gu Ran said.
He thought to himself that because of its small caliber, the bullet's kinetic energy was only so-so, making it only useful at close range. Beyond twenty meters, it was barely effective, like a toy.
Moreover, with Gu Ran around, she basically never had to use the gun.
Su Xiaoqiang was determined to mentor her; she seemed to really enjoy being a female armed police officer abroad.
She said, "If we run into bad guys, let me handle it. Having a gun can scare away a lot of unnecessary idiots."
"But there aren't that many idiots in the world, are there?" Gu Ran said irritably.
“Yesterday we were riding our motorcycles on the highway, and some idiot cut us off!” Su Xiaoqiang said. “You can never underestimate the number of idiots in this world!”
Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, because it was true, and he was speechless. He knew he couldn't persuade her, so he let her take it if she wanted.
The two left the hotel, strolled around the places they hadn't visited the day before, and then prepared to head up the mountain.
Just as the two reached the hillside, they suddenly heard a commotion.
Not far away, three men were forcing a girl into a box.
The girl was tall, about 1.7 meters, with short hair and delicate features, and seemed a little lost.
"Little sister, come play with us! I'll pay!"
"Yeah, the three of us are just missing a companion, let's go together, hehehe!"
"Little sister, you're so tall! I love girls with long legs. Name your price, I'm rich!" One of the three men, a short man, said, staring at a girl in the alley.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoqiang turned to Gu Ran and said, "Look, there are plenty of idiots in this world, aren't there?"
Chapter 613 Give me a deep bow!
Gu Ran was speechless when he saw the short guy. That short guy was the one who cut him off in a Lamborghini on the highway yesterday.
Japan isn't a huge country, but it's not small either, so the fact that they could run into each other like this left Gu Ran somewhat amused and exasperated.
But what surprised him even more was the girl who was cornered. Although she had cut her hair short, he still remembered her face.
Su Xiaoqiang stepped into the alleyway first and said, "Hey, let go of that girl."
But she seemed to have forgotten that this was Japan, and she was speaking Mandarin, which those three idiots couldn't understand.
However, they were drawn to Su Xiaoqiang's voice and turned to look at her.
