Chapter 76: Whenever I'm by his side, I always think of Luochuan

  It was approaching midnight.

  Yan Zi is at home and can't sit still.

  At 10 o'clock in the evening, Nian Qing sent her a text message saying that something had come up and he would be late coming home. She asked what it was, but Nian Qing didn't make it clear, telling her not to ask for now. Now, it's already so late, and outside is raining, Nian Qing still hasn't returned, don't let someone get drunk and cheat him into bed.

  Not long after, he died.

  "Ding Dong", the doorbell at home rang.

  Yanzi quickly went out to open the door, thinking in her heart - Nian Qing has the key to their home, why did she still ring the doorbell, did she really go drinking?

  The door is open.

  The outdoor staircase lights suddenly became very dim, blocked by the tall and straight figure of a man in front.

  Yan Zi was taken aback and stared at Gu Qingheng in front of him, noticing that Nian Qing in his arms was slightly dazed, and subconsciously called out: "Gu... General."

  "Shh——", Duanwu, who was standing beside Gu Qing, made a silencing gesture with his hand. Yanzi understood and stopped making noise, stepped aside, and invited the two of them to enter the house.

  Two young women lived in an apartment with a very small space that could accommodate four people, making it look cramped.

  Yan Zi stepped aside and got on at the next stop, silently sizing up Gu Qingheng and Duanwu.

  One is the big boss of the Gu family, and the other is the red man beside the big boss. Normally, employees in such a position would not have the opportunity to observe these two people at such close range.

  Yan Zi glanced at Nian Qing in Gu Qinghe's arms and knew that she was asleep. It didn't seem like she had gotten drunk, but rather, she looked tired.

  How tired is this? This is really ambiguous.

  "Where is her room?" Gu Qingheng asked Yanzi, his voice warm and soft.

  "The room on the right." Yanzu pointed and hesitated, wondering whether to follow him in.

  After all, a man entering a girl's room feels somewhat improper.

  But the other party is Gu Qingheng...

  "I need a glass of water." Duwu Chaozhenzi, with a warm smile, interrupted the struggle of the banquet - "Okay, I'll go get it for you."

  The big shot beside Gu Qingheng, flattering and currying favor with him, who knows when he might be useful.

  ……

  Nian Qing's room is very small, you can see everything at a glance.

  But in Gu Qingheng's eyes, a 22-year-old girl's room was a novel and research-worthy place.

  He gently laid her on the bed, his hands cradling the back of her head, undoing the knot in her hair, and letting her soft, dark locks spread out across the pillow, looking very beautiful.

  His suit jacket also slipped off her body and fell under the bed...

  Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow, didn't pick it up, let it be, and left it there. He stretched out his hand to spread out the quilt on the bed and covered Nian Qing's body with it. Then, he turned on the small lamp beside the bed, wanting to take a closer look at this small feminine room.

  A deep blue tie belonging to a man appeared in this woman's room, very out of place.

  Gu Qingheng suddenly stopped, his thin lips gradually stained with a joyful smile.

  He leaned down, gazing intently at Qing, his breath hot with desire, wanting to kiss her, to fiercely kiss this little cheat.

  "Hmm...", she frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the brightness in the room, her eyelashes fluttering as if about to wake up.

  Gu Qingheng quickly stretched out his hand and gently covered Nianqing's eyes, shielding the light of the small lamp for her.

  Ning Qing's hand lay quietly in his long fingers, subconsciously scratching twice before stopping, obediently still - feeling this hand was very large, warm and gentle, lightly covering hers.

  A long time.

  "Sleep well." Gu Qingheng muttered.

  Turned off the lights in the room, gently moved his palm away, in the darkness, his eyes, especially bright, looked at Nian Qing, lowered his head, and touched her lips lightly before reluctantly leaving.

  Go out of the room.

  Duān wǔ zhèng zài hē dì sān bēi rè chá, yàn zǐ, tiāo zhe chá yú, sǒu sǒu jiān, biǎo shì, zhè shì zuì hòu yī bēi——méi rè shuǐ pào le.

  English Translation:

  Duān wǔ was drinking his third cup of hot tea. Yàn zǐ, holding the teapot, shrugged and indicated that this was the last cup - there's no more hot water to brew.

  Seeing Gu Qingheng come out, Yanzi glanced over and deliberately sized him up. His clothes were neat and tidy, his eyebrows were clear and elegant, and he was very handsome, without any signs of having done anything excessive.

  Shouldn't disturb someone who is sleeping soundly.

  "Thank you for the hospitality." He put down his tea cup and turned to Yanzi, then returned to Gu Qingheng's side, preparing to leave.

  As he was about to leave, Gu Qingheng suddenly remembered something.

  "She got rained on, might catch a cold. You make her a cup of ginger tea." After instructing, Gu Qingheng paused for a moment, looked sideways and asked Yanzi: "Ginger tea, do you know how to make it?"

  "Will do, of course will." Yanz replied hastily.

  She suddenly understood why Gu Qingheng wore glasses when he was teaching at school, a man with eyes that were too sharp would make people tremble with fear.

  Dealing with this kind of man indeed requires a lot of courage.

  "Hmm." Gu Qingheng nodded in satisfaction and left with Duanwu.

  ……

  Downstairs, the storm had not stopped, but the rain was gradually weakening.

  Gu Qingheng had his hands in his pockets and was lazily watching the rain scene, with a slightly dim gaze.

  The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the car drives over, gets out of the car, opens an umbrella and gives it to Gu Qingheng.

  Got on the bus.

  Gu Qingheng patted the raindrops on his shoulder, took out Ning's handkerchief, but didn't use it, carefully putting it away instead.

  Sitting in the driver's seat on Dragon Boat Festival, I started the car and said: "Daqi just gave me a call."

  Gu Qingheng turned his gaze and looked out of the window at the drizzling rain: "Speak."

  Duanwu said: "The hospital side, the child was saved."

  "Hmm." Gu Qingheng's emotions were not very big, probably because he had already made up his mind.

  "Want to go take a look?"

  "It's unnecessary." Gu Qing shook his head slightly, closed his eyes, and meditated. "Go back home directly."

  "Alright."

  ……

  The next day, early in the morning, the rain had stopped.

  When Qing woke up and got out of bed, she stared blankly at her room. She actually had some impression of what happened last night. Vaguely, she remembered that it was Gu Qinghe who carried her back home, and he even... entered her room.

  He turned his head, glanced at the deep blue tie that belonged to him, and lay back on the bed with a splitting headache, wishing he could throw it away immediately.

  My concerns have been noticed.

  Will Gu Qingheng think that she has been refusing him all along, is it to tease him or seduce him? Maybe both.

  Qing sighed deeply, her slender fingers buried in her black hair.

  If she had known earlier, she would have really thrown it away. What's the point of keeping it? She didn't even know herself why she wanted to keep it.

  Lay down for a while.

  Getting out of bed and planning to take a shower to wake myself up, I tripped over something on the floor. Looking down, it was a dark-colored men's suit jacket.

  Qing picked it up, her slender eyebrows tightly furrowed.

  Gu Qingheng took off his jacket and fell into her room.

  It means she wants to find him again.

  ……

  One hour.

  After finishing her bath and wiping her hair, she saw Yanzi sitting on the sofa eating potato chips, looking at her with ill intentions - "So early to get up, did you enjoy yourself last night?"

  She gently bit her lip and sat down beside Yuanzi, unable to say anything more.

  Yan Zi couldn't let her off: "I'm saying, you're really something, yesterday at noon you said you wanted to avoid Gu Qingheng, and last night, he took you home in his arms. How did you run into each other? You two, won't you be too fated or something? I've been working at the company, how come I never ran into him? Was he deliberately blocking your way?"

  Ning Qing shook her head at Gu Qingheng, she really couldn't understand. Last night's events had truly frightened her.

  She should be grateful that Gu Qingheng was different from other officials who would have forced her, otherwise she estimated that she wouldn't have woken up safely in her own room.

  Listening to the chatter of the banquet beside her, Nian Qing interrupted her and said: "...Gu Qingheng's suit jacket was left in my room."

  Yan Zi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Alright, alright. Let you hide from him, now it's all good, you'll eventually have to deliver yourself to his doorstep and return the coat to him."

  One reaps what one sows, and Qing has deeply realized this.

  She rubbed her brow: "Please, don't gloat, say something insightful."

  Does he have insight? Yanzi thought for a moment and really wanted to know one thing: "When being held by Gu Qingheng, did you feel anything?"

  "Yes." Nian Qing's expression was complex, with a fleeting look of confusion: "When I'm by his side, I always think of Luochuan."
