Chapter 174 Making a Ring
The old man has a regular schedule and gets up early in the morning to practice Tai Chi and exercise.
Gong Yoo was the one who suffered the most and was also pulled out of bed early in the morning.
Fortunately, he had gotten used to getting up early every day for a morning run some time ago, otherwise he would have really cried to death.
While eating breakfast, Kong Liu sent a message to Gu Chenxi: "On the first day of the holiday, my grandfather woke me up at six in the morning for morning exercise. I was so sleepy."
After Gong Liu sent the message, he thought Gu Chenxi was still sleeping, but the other party replied immediately: "I'm not much better. My mother made breakfast on a whim early in the morning and insisted on waking me up to eat."
[Look of despair]
After reading Gu Chenxi's message, Kong Liu suddenly felt relieved.
Well, it seems that college students who go home do have a miserable life.
While eating breakfast, the old man suddenly asked, "When will your parents come back?"
Gong Liu took a sip of soy milk and said, "I don't know either. They didn't say the exact time. I guess it will be the end of this month."
"These two guys." The old man shook his head and took a sip of the lean meat porridge in the bowl. "It's almost the New Year, and they haven't come back yet."
"It's almost there, almost there..." Gong Liu said with a smile.
After Kong Yoo had breakfast with his grandfather, his grandfather took a car to the Kong family’s company, while Kong Yoo took a car, left the manor and returned to his villa.
Gong Liu originally thought that after he returned home, he could video chat with Gu Chenxi without restraint, but the result was completely different from what he expected.
Gu Chenxi has to do Pilates with her mother in the morning, go shopping with her mother in the afternoon, and get her hair done with her mother in the evening. Her mother has arranged a full schedule for the day.
It was finally night. Not long after Gu Chenxi lay down, his mother called him up again. They put on facial masks and watched variety shows together. Kong Liu waited for a whole day and even fell asleep, but he still didn't get Gu Chenxi's video call.
In the next few days, Gu Chenxi was similar. She had no time to video chat with Gong Liu every day, and sometimes it took her a long time to reply to his messages - and she always replied secretly.
To the extent that when Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi were chatting, they both had the illusion of being mistresses.
Bored Gong Yoo can only play PS5 to relieve boredom every day, or go to the gym to sweat, then go to the sauna to steam, then go to the karaoke room to practice singing, and go to the library to read a book when he is tired of playing.
Although the villa is a bit small, it is well equipped with entertainment facilities, so Kong Liu won’t be too bored staying at home.
It's winter now and the weather is too cold, otherwise he would go to the outdoor swimming pool to play in the water.
After staying at home for a few days, Kong Yoo suddenly wanted to go back to school. Life at home was boring and meaningless. It was more fun to go to school and be an ordinary person.
Every day Gong Liu looked forward to the time passing quickly so that the day of the concert would come soon so that he could see Gu Chenxi.
Because there was plenty of time, the design progress of the ring was accelerated a lot.
The study was filled with Gong Yoo's design drafts. Among more than a dozen design drafts, Gong Yoo finally finalized... the first draft.
Of course, it was not a complete first draft, but the first draft after he revised it many times.
After finalizing the design, Kong Liu found several professional designers and asked them to give some suggestions and more reasonable revisions to his design.
I don’t know whether it’s because they don’t want to offend the sponsor or because the couple rings designed by Kong Yoo are really good, but several professional designers said that Kong Yoo’s design draft is perfect and there is not much that needs to be modified.
When the designers thought they could start making the ring for Gong Yoo based on the design draft, Gong Yoo asked them to help him complete the making of the ring - that's right, Gong Yoo not only had to design the ring himself, but also had to make it.
For the designer, this is just like the emperor leading the army in person - not only is it unhelpful, but it is also very troublesome. Making a ring is already tiring, and teaching a layman how to make a ring is even more tiring.
However, the designer did not dare to complain too much - there was nothing he could do, Gong Yoo gave too much.
Gong Yoo used rose gold and platinum for the ring band. These two materials are easy to get, but the gemstones on the ring face are a bit difficult to find. Gong Yoo has extremely high requirements for the quality of gemstones.
After searching for several days in various gemstone malls in Zhonghai, Gong Yoo only found two cornflower sapphires of superb clarity and quality. However, in his design draft, the women's ring had eight small gemstones and the men's ring had one large gemstone. These two cornflower gemstones were obviously not enough.
The ring band was almost finished, and now the only thing left was the gem. Unable to find the gem, Gong Yoo had no choice but to suspend the ring making plan.
He asked the designers to help keep an eye on the market and buy any high-quality gemstones that met his expectations.
Time flies and it is Saturday night. After Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi communicated about tomorrow's itinerary through video, they went to bed early.
At seven o'clock the next morning, Gong Liu packed everything and got on the car to the airport. He took three things with him when he went out - a mobile phone, a charger, and a wallet.
Compared with Gong Liu, Gu Chenxi brought a lot more things.
She carried two full boxes of stuff: one box of clothes, one box of various cosmetics in small bottles that could be taken on the plane, and some miscellaneous items.
Gu Chenxuan looked at her sister's attitude and couldn't help but complain: "Sister, are you planning to move out of this house?"
"Shut up!" Gu Chenxi glared at his sister.
"You are mean to me! Wuuwuwu..." Gu Chenxuan looked at her sister aggrievedly, "I will tell mom that you are going to elope with Gong Liu secretly!"
"You dare!" Gu Chenxi threatened directly after hearing this, "If you dare to talk nonsense, don't even think about asking me to buy you game skins in the future!"
Gu Chenxuan's momentum instantly weakened after hearing this. She whispered, "Wrong!"
"You're smart." Gu Chenxi smiled and touched Gu Chenxuan's head. "Help me carry the boxes to the car. When I come back from the concert, I'll bring you some local specialties."
"Hmph." Gu Chenxuan snorted and said, "You didn't bring me to the concert and you asked me to do hard labor, you bad guy~!"
Gu Chenxi raised a palm and said, "One thousand!"
"Good sister, put it down quickly, I'll do it, you go and rest."
He said his sister was a bad person one second, and became his sister's good slave the next.
Gu Chenxuan said: "A man who can bend and stretch is a real man!"
"Bye sister, have fun, have fun~~~!"
After Gu Chenxuan said goodbye to her sister with a beaming smile on her face, she looked down at her cell phone and the first message she saw was her sister's transfer record.
Earning a thousand dollars for moving two boxes is a rare opportunity.
Gong Liu and Gu Chenxi arrived at the airport almost at the same time, and their cars arrived at the drop-off point at the airport entrance one after the other.
It had been almost a week since they last met. When Gu Chenxi saw Kong Liu again, she was as excited as a kitten with little stars in its eyes. If there weren't people around and Gu Chenxi wasn't embarrassed, she would have rushed over to give Kong Liu a big bear hug.
Since Gu Chenxi doesn't take the initiative, Gong Liu should of course take the initiative.
He opened his arms and hugged Gu Chenxi in his arms: "Gui Gui, did you miss me?"
"Hmm~" Gu Chenxi blushed and agreed in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly.
