The Xu family went bankrupt, and Xu Yao was heavily indebted. Everyone said that her rich fiancé Shen Yan was Xu Yao's last straw.
Three years later, Xu Yao, however, proactively propose...
053: Sleeping in the same room, worrying about sleeping posture!
When the room is particularly quiet, any slight noise in the bathroom will be amplified infinitely.
Gu Jun was afraid that Xu Yao would be embarrassed, so he grabbed the remote control, turned on the TV and turned up the volume.
Xu Yao didn't know why Gu Jun suddenly wanted to watch TV. She didn't need to take a shower at night, but people always had to go to the bathroom, and the sound of the toilet flushing could be embarrassing. Listening to the sound of the TV program outside, Xu Yao's washing movements became lighter.
When she finished washing up, changed into pajamas and went out, Gu Jun was sitting on the sofa watching TV. His fixed concentration made Xu Yao also look at the screen.
Uh... "Rural Wealth Guide"?!
"So you like watching shows like this?"
Xu Yao was very surprised.
Gu Jun then turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing, just watch yourselves, I'm going to sleep."
After discovering that Gu Jun liked to read "Rural Wealth Guide", Xu Yao relaxed a lot.
——Gu Jun looks like a high-class elite now, but he is actually very down-to-earth at heart!
Gu Jun didn't know what was going on, but he felt that Xu Yao wasn't as nervous as before. The worst part was that Xu Yao wasn't nervous anymore, but Gu Jun was.
Xu Yao carried a quilt and a pillow to the sofa. When she passed by Gu Jun, he smelled the faint scent of jasmine.
That is the scent of the mouthwash that Xu Yao often uses.
Gu Jun didn't pay any attention to what was on TV.
"I'm going to sleep first!"
Xu Yao gave Gu Jun a heads-up in advance, "I'm exhausted today and will definitely fall asleep soon. If you hear me grinding my teeth or snoring, don't tell me tomorrow morning. Just pretend you didn't hear anything!"
In theory, beautiful women shouldn't be associated with teeth grinding and snoring. In fact, during the time that Lin Meixian and Xu Yao lived together in a rental apartment, she heard Xu Yao snoring several times, especially at night when she was too tired during the day. Of course, Xu Yao didn't believe it at first, so Lin Meixian took out her phone and recorded a video and sent it to her. Faced with such overwhelming evidence, Xu Yao couldn't deny it even if she wanted to.
Of course, Xu Yao doesn't snore loudly. Her snoring is not loud, like the sound of a kitten breathing out of its mouth due to a stuffy nose. Lin Meixian didn't make fun of Xu Yao when she filmed the video, but to remind her to pay attention to her sleeping posture. Xu Yao followed Lin Meixian's advice and stopped snoring.
When her mother reminded her that she was snoring, Xu Yao felt that it was a sign of concern.
If Gu Jun had reminded her, Xu Yao would have just bought a piece of tofu and killed herself!
Gu Jun was surprised at first, then wanted to laugh. "How could I possibly hear you snoring when I'm asleep? Maybe I'll be the one grinding my teeth... If you accidentally hear it tonight, don't tell me tomorrow."
Gu Jun was originally trying to comfort Xu Yao, but as he spoke, he became worried instead.
Because Gu Jun has been living alone since his sophomore year, he is sure that he did not snore or grind his teeth before. After his sophomore year, he no longer has roommates, so even if he really grinds his teeth while sleeping, no one would know!
Xu Yao wrapped herself in the quilt and smiled: "Okay, okay, no matter what I heard tonight, I will never mention it tomorrow. You too, ha, it's a deal."
"It's a deal. If you're tired, go to bed. Should I turn down the volume on the TV or turn it off?"
Gu Jun asked Xu Yao for her opinion, and Xu Yao muttered, "Just turn it down a bit. Sometimes it's more soothing to sleep with TV programs on."
Will it?
Gu Jun's sleep quality is very poor, and he is easily awakened by any noise at night.
He had no choice but to live with roommates before, but when he had some money in his sophomore year, Gu Jun immediately moved out of the dorm and rented his own place. Sleeping with TV on was something Gu Jun had never experienced before, but since Xu Yao liked it, Gu Jun wanted to try it too.
When Gu Jun came back from washing up, Xu Yao had already fallen asleep.
Gu Jun thought he would suffer from insomnia, especially after he turned off the TV.
He could hear Xu Yao's shallow breathing.
Surprisingly, Gu Jun was not distracted.
Xu Yao trusted him so much that there was no door between them, and Xu Yao slept three steps away from him.
This made Gu Jun feel at ease.
Since Gu Haishan's death, Gu Jun's sleep quality has become worse. For some reason, tonight, Gu Jun fell asleep quickly with his head touching the pillow.
The next morning, Gu Jun woke up even later than Xu Yao. He slept until eight o'clock.
When he opened his eyes and sat up from the sofa, Xu Yao was no longer on the bed next to him. The quilt and pillows were neatly arranged. Turning around, he saw Xu Yao using a selfie stick and a mobile phone to record a video in the semi-open yard.
Beside the steamy hot spring, Xu Yao spoke a long speech to the camera, while turning the camera to take pictures of the red maple leaves in the yard. For a moment, Gu Jun couldn't tell whether the yard scenery or Xu Yao was more beautiful.
Seeing that Gu Jun was awake, Xu Yao put away her selfie stick and pushed open the glass door. "Did I wake you? Yesterday I asked Tangtang for advice on how to attract traffic. She told me to shoot more daily videos in addition to the official videos. Especially now that I have too many fans from promotions and they might get tired of it, posting more daily videos can help eliminate their disgust."
Xu Yao explained why she took selfies so early in the morning.
It was an early winter morning, and the temperature was extremely low halfway up the mountain. In order to look good on camera, Xu Yao only wore a thin sweater. She went into the house with a selfie stick, and Gu Jun noticed that the tip of her nose was red from the cold.
Gu Jun sighed from the bottom of his heart, "You didn't wake me up. I slept very well last night. My body clock wouldn't agree if I didn't wake up at this time. But you, I have no idea what time you woke up this morning. The yard is so cold, why didn't you wear a coat?"
Xu Yao felt it was okay.
"I still have a sweater to wear. Tangtang said yesterday that she had to get up early to take videos and photos of herself in a bikini hot spring. She works much harder than me!"
Tangtang, who has a great figure and doesn't mind showing off her cleavage, has a sizable online following. While on vacation at the hot springs hotel with Jiang Zhiyan, she also took on a promotional project for a body lotion. Fearing Jiang Zhiyan might be offended, Tangtang opted to avoid a filming crew and instead filmed the promotional project as a typical hot springs trip. She shot all the footage herself, hiring someone to edit it once she returned to South City.
Of course, no one would have too much money from promotions. In addition to body lotion promotions, the most shocking item to be seen when taking a hot spring vacation is the swimsuit. Tangtang can make a little money from this hot spring vacation. Volg advertised the body lotion, took a bunch of photos, and released them separately after retouching them, just to show off the swimsuit!
Xu Yao was moved by Tangtang's professionalism.
No wonder they make money. They work so hard. It would be unreasonable if they didn’t make money!
Gu Jun was quite surprised when he heard this.
The girls Jiang Zhiyan usually dated were all pretty girls. Jiang Zhiyan didn't like to find girls with brains because he was afraid that he would be "plotted" by the other party accidentally. So Jiang Zhiyan liked girls with pretty faces but empty heads. He said that such girls were easier to deal with.
Gu Jun's first impression of Tangtang was that she was just a pretty face, but he didn't expect her to be quite thoughtful and not just want to marry a rich man.
Does Jiang Zhiyan know that Tangtang is so clear-headed and smart?
If I knew, I would probably break up with Tangtang soon.
Seeing that Xu Yao liked Tangtang, Gu Jun reminded her: "Don't praise your new friend in front of President Jiang. This is for her own good."
Xu Yao was confused, "...Why?"
Being good at discovering the strengths of others and praising their strengths without hesitation is the way of dealing with people that Lin Meixian taught Xu Yao.
Xu Yao listened to her mother at first, and now it has become her habit. However, Gu Jun asked her not to praise Tangtang, which made Xu Yao very puzzled.
Just as Gu Jun was about to speak, the phone rang.
Jiang Zhiyan called and said, "I won't be a third wheel today and disturb you two. I've already had breakfast and am leaving for South City now."
Jiang Zhiyan was rarely so sensible. Gu Jun glanced at Xu Yao, and Xu Yao pointed in the direction of the door and mouthed, "I'll go to the restaurant first."
After Xu Yao left, Gu Jun asked Jiang Zhiyan, "Did something happen?"
"That old fox, Shen Zhongjun, invited me to his nephew's engagement party. He knew we were looking for land to build the Huahu Building and said he had a suitable piece of land, but he wanted to meet with me to discuss it. I had no choice but to rush back to South City to give Shen Zhongjun's nephew a gift. Humph, I want to see what the old fox has up his sleeve!"
Jiang Zhiyan was yawning while speaking, and it was obvious that he didn't want to go back to Nancheng so early.
Gu Jun was also surprised, "Are you going to attend Shen Zhongjun's nephew's engagement party?"
——Isn’t the nephew that Shen Zhongjun is going to get engaged to Shen Yan?
