Ambiguous Relationship - Chapter 59：Petty

Liang Sisi leaned against the door and laughed, “Dr. Meng, where did you come from? From your house to here, how much is the plane ticket?”

Meng Gu frowned, ignored her teasing and squeezed into the apartment sideways.

On the sofa in the living room, Chen Ruo Yu was still on the phone talking nonstop. Meng Gu felt helpless and hung up the phone. Chen Ruo Yu froze and looked at the phone for a long time, then started crying again, looked up and shouted to Liang Sisi, “He hung up on me, he actually hung up on me. Sisi, I don’t want him anymore, okay?”

“No way!” The fierce roar shocked Chen Ruo Yu.

She sobbed and squinted and realized there was one more person. It actually looks like Meng Gu!

Chen Ruo Yu looked down at the phone, it was also Meng Gu who she was just talking to and obviously, this is also Meng Gu in front of her. Her mind was not clear at the moment and she stupidly asked, “How many of you are there?”

Liang Sisi laughed, Meng Gu’s face was dark, he swiftly pulled Chen Ruo Yu up, “Next time, dare to get this drunk again, try and see.”

Chen Ruo Yu felt a sense of reality, and then threw herself on Meng Gu, hanging on him, “Dr. Meng, that Dr. Meng is not good, he hung up on me and ignored me.”

Meng Gu was caught off guard by her and almost fell over. Liang Sisi was still laughing, she laughed so much she had tears in her eyes. He could not look up and just carried Chen Ruo Yu and quickly went into her room.

As he entered the room, Chen Ruo Yu shouted, “To the bed, carry me to the bed.” Immediately followed by Liang Sisi’s howling laughter.

Meng Gu’s face couldn’t help but redden, he put Chen Ruo Yu on the bed, and quickly turned to close the door, and shut Liang Sisi’s laughter out. He turned around and saw Chen Ruo Yu was sitting on the bed holding her feet, her face showing dissatisfaction.

“No shoes.” She said.

Meng Gu stared at her, after a while of staring, he sighed and sat next to her. She didn’t want to sit with him and kicked him, but he didn’t move, so she rolled to the side.

Meng Gu pulled her over and wanted to hug her. She slapped his hand and pushed him away.

“Chen Ruo Yu, don’t make trouble.”

“Dr. Meng, don’t be cheeky, I am angry with you.”

Meng Gu glared at her, and she also glared back.

After a while, Meng Gu conceded, “Okay, I was wrong, I’m sorry.”

“Where are you wrong?”

“I am too petty.”

“Why are you petty?”

Meng Gu pretended not to hear this question.

Chen Ruo Yu then asked him, “Why were you so petty for so long?”

“It hasn’t been too long.” Meng Gu attempted to take charge of the conversation, “I have been very busy the past two weeks. I have a research project I am participating in, I have to write a thesis, and also have to attend information exchange sessions…”

“Then you have enough communication in your information exchange sessions, what are you still looking for me for? Also about the thesis, is your research study about the results of Dr. Meng’s moodiness and hot and cold behavior?”

Meng Gu was stunned. Chen Ruo Yu’s fighting power when she is drunk is really indescribable.

“Tell me, why have you been ignoring me?”

“I haven’t been ignoring you.”

She glared at him, and her tears started coming down again, “Since you are so unwilling to reconcile, might as well continue ignoring me.”

“Okay, I was wrong.” He muttered, reached over and pulled her into his arms and wiped her tears.

“I have been very upset during this period, and wanted to find someone to talk to, but you were like this to me, I am even more upset.”

“I was wrong.” Mr. Tyrannosauraus whispered and admitted his bad attitude.

“Where are you wrong?”

“I shouldn’t have been so unenthusiastic to you on the phone. I shouldn’t have been so petty.”

“Then what were you being petty about?”

“I was angry you went out to dinner with a man, you also put on makeup and dressed up so beautifully. You don’t dress up like that when you go out to eat with me. You also said that it was with Liang Sisi, of course, I would be angry.”

Chen Ruo Yu was dumbfounded, she blinked and seriously looked Meng Gu over.

“What’s with your expression?”

“I’m checking to see if you are really my Mr. Tyrannosaurus, making sure that in my drunk state, I didn’t lead the wrong man in.”

Meng Gu poked her head, “I can still bear it if it’s just a meal, but if you dare to lead a wild man into your room, I will sort you out.”

Chen Ruo Yu pulled his hand down, “I don’t understand.”

“You also gave me a nickname? What is with this Mr. Tyrannosaurus?”

“It is to boast that you are very masculine.” Chen Ruo Yu’s head was still groggy and she flattered him, then thought that was wrong, she should air out all her anger and must not suck up to him, “No, I said it wrong, it means that you have an unreasonably bad temper that is on par with a dinosaur’s. This means to despise and ignore you.”

“Anything else?”

“You also always attract unhappy love affairs, Mr. Peach blossom forest.”

Meng Gu stared blankly, there was actually another nickname? “Chen Ruo Yu, are you usually too idle?”

“This manner of speaking, it is indeed you, not the wrong person. But who did I go out to dinner with?” Chen Ruo Yu frowned and thought, then suddenly threw herself on Meng Gu’s chest, “Dr. Meng, I have a headache, help me massage it.”

“What use is a massage?” Meng Gu was unhappy, but still reached out and did as she wished and helped her massage her temples.

“Dr. Meng, I am thirsty. I want to drink water.”

Meng Gu glared at her for a long while, but still got up, opened the door and was about to go and pour her a glass of water. When he opened the door, he heard the sound of crying coming from Liang Sisi’s room. Meng Gu suddenly had a headache and turned to look at Chen Ruo Yu. She didn’t seem to hear it, she was just staring at his back.

Her silly and soft expression made Meng Gu stop in his tracks and couldn’t help but come back and sit down to hug her.

“What?”

“I still can’t recall which man I went out to dinner with. Are you sure didn’t make a mistake on the person?”

“I didn’t.” Meng Gu frowned and seemed to think that this was a bit strange.

“Which restaurant did you see me in?”

“Downstairs at your house.”

“When?”

“That day that you told me you are going out with Liang Sisi and so couldn’t go on a date with me. I saw that it should be about time you returned, and so especially came over to see you. Then, in the end, I saw you talking and laughing with a man. Is that Zhou Zhe? He dropped you off and then went back to his own building.”

Chen Ruo Yu opened her mouth wide, to say she was surprised was an understatement, “You were cold to me because of this?”

“You lied to me and said you went out to dinner with Liang Sisi, of course, I would be angry. I even called you to ask where you were, and you still said that you just came back from your dinner with Liang Sisi.”

Chen Ruo Yu continued to be silly and had her mouth open.

Meng Gu spoke again, “I was really angry at that time.”

“Oh.” Chen Ruo Yu nodded and didn’t know how to respond and so didn’t say anything.

With her like, Meng Gu felt guilty, he coughed twice and said, “But I was still angry the next day. I thought that if you properly tell me and coax me, I will listen to your explanation. But you didn’t mention it at all, and every time we talked on the phone, it was weird.”

“Oh.” Chen Ruo Yu nodded and didn’t react.

She being like this was somewhat unexpected to Meng Gu, and he coughed and coughed, and he felt even more guilty, “I, I have been busy working up until today, the next two days are my days off, so I wanted to see you. You haven’t looked for me in the last few days…” In fact, he also knew that his attitude was not good, and she has reason to be less enthusiastic, and as soon she becomes cold to him, he also gets panicky, “I drove to the front of your apartment and waited for a while. I was thinking about how to talk to you, and in the end, you called me first.”

“Oh.” Chen Ruo Yu was still dispirited.

“Hey.” Meng Gu bent over to make eye contact with her, “I have already admitted my wrongs, I was being petty. About this matter, I won’t hope for you to act coquettishly to coax me, you also shouldn’t have a fall out with me because of this. I promise not to be so petty in the future. If there is anything I feel uncomfortable about, I will definitely tell you straight away, alright?”

Chen Ruo Yu stared at him, after looking for a while, she suddenly said, “Dr. Meng, I’m thirsty.”

Meng Gu scowled and thought for a bit, but still went out to pour water for her. When he came back with the water, he found that the door was locked.

“Chen Ruo Yu.” He knocked on the door.

The door wasn’t opened, but Chen Ruo Yu behind the door said, “Dr. Meng, you are not the only one who can get angry, I am very angry right now!”

Drunk Chen Ruo Yu, who is angry, will have very serious consequences.

MiraiSaesang’s Notes: LOL this dude’s IQ has seriously dropped, his whole misunderstanding could have been solved by walking up to her and her “dinner date” to “catch them in the act”, rather than turning tail to brood about it…

…Also, have you guys noticed that whenever they are at loggerheads/impasse, he seems to be the one to concede first, all the time…Like this one for example, in his mind, he still thinks his girlfriend went to dinner with another man and lied about it, yet because she’s treating him coldly, he goes “let’s just sweep this under the rug, I promise not to be like this in the future.”…LOL how the mighty have fallen, she definitely seems to have the upper hand in this relationship ????

MENG GU’s POV CHAPTERS: The next couple of chapters will give Meng Gu’s take on his encounters with Chen Ruo Yu…the author initially wrote this section because they were experiencing a writer’s block… but then got inspiration and then wrote a 2nd more detailed better? version that delved into the development and realization of his feelings for her and his hesitation as well…the mystery that is Meng Gu is properly explored (not all sites have the 2nd version but luckily I normally translate using 2 different sites, so I noticed the 2nd version on 1, which is absolutely ????, Meng Gu is so adorable, you’ll see)…

…I thought of translating just the 2nd version, but then I felt that the 1st version was also interesting and had something to offer…Then, I thought of merging them, but that requires a lot more effort than simply translating both, especially considering version 2 is from a 1st person pov…so I decided to translate both versions…They are both enjoyable, so do read both! ????

Also, since I’m translating both versions, so the wait for the continuation is not too long, I put in some extra time to focus on this the last couple of days, so I can release Meng Gu’s chapters 2 at a time, so the next 4 releases will be 2 chapters/day! ????
