Chapter 246: Please

The weather is getting cooler and the nights are getting darker.

The lights were on in Gu Chengyu's top-floor apartment.

Su Qianqian curled up in the soft sofa in the study, with the script spread out on her knees, looking focused and reciting the lines silently.

She recently took on a movie. Her role was not important, but the character's inner world was complex and required careful consideration.

At the same time, Xinghe’s schoolwork was not easy at all, and she didn’t want to fall behind.

The phone screen lit up, and it was a message from Gu Chengyu: [Still reading the script? ]

Su Qianqian glanced at it, paused for a moment, and replied with two words: [Yeah.]

Soon, another message came from the other side: [I miss you. ]

Su Qianqian frowned slightly. She didn't want to go to the master bedroom tonight.

She thought for a moment and replied: [But it will take me a long time. You should go to sleep first and don’t wait for me.]

After sending the message successfully, she placed her phone screen face down on the sofa and sighed softly.

She was truly grateful to Gu Chengyu.

When she first came to this strange and dangerous world, she had no one to rely on and had to face Lin Shu's malice. It was him, this towering tree, who blocked all the wind and rain for her and gave her the best resources and unreserved shelter.

Without him, she would never have been able to gain a foothold so quickly and even have such a bright future.

I like it, but it doesn’t seem to be that profound.

She knew about his careless romantic past, and she also knew that her relationship with him began with an inevitable dependence.

She played the role of a little woman who depended on him and was obsessed with him, half-truthfully.

The real feeling was gratitude, attachment and an inexplicable physical attraction. Every time she had close contact with him, she always felt more energetic.

The fake one was that she was always aware that he was not her type.

Her ideal type is bright and clean, but he is just the opposite.

Now that her career was on track and her studies were getting busier, she had unknowingly devoted less energy to him.

She was slow to reply to messages, occasionally turned down dates, and even declined his requests for intimacy. However, he had been doting on her more and more recently, and he was no longer as assertive as before.

She knew that this was not a good thing, and it might even seem like she was destroying the bridge after crossing it, but she really didn't have any more energy to devote to him.

The phone vibrated again.

She picked it up and looked at it. It was still Gu Chengyu: [Then I'll come over to accompany you.]

The tone is irresistible.

Su Qianqian rubbed her eyebrows, feeling helpless.

Just as I was thinking about how to reply, a message from another person popped up.

Zhou Yu'an: [Qianqian, are you free tomorrow afternoon? The demo you posted last time was helpful for people with insomnia. I'd like to use it in Zhou's hospital's production line. I'd like to discuss some copyright details with you.]

Su Qianqian frowned even more tightly.

Zhou Yu'an.

This man, a psychologist who seems gentle but is actually difficult to understand.

Ever since they met in the school piano room, he always found various reasons to get close to her, and he knew how to do it just right, making it impossible for her to refuse him directly.

She could see his interest, and it annoyed her a little.

After all, she didn't want to cause any trouble at all, especially since the person she provoked was Gu Chengyu's brother.

She replied to Zhou Yu'an: [Mr. Zhou, it's up to you to decide.]

I have a lot of classes tomorrow, so I might not have time.

There was no reply from the other end.

Su Qianqian put down her phone, feeling somewhat uneasy. These top-notch young masters were far less harmless than they appeared. She was secretly alert and just wanted to stay away from them.

The study door was pushed open and Gu Chengyu walked in with a cup of warm milk in his hand.

He walked over to her and handed her the milk, his eyes scanning the script on her lap and the phone that was lying on the lap.

"How long will it take?" He said in a low voice, filled with dissatisfaction.

"It's almost there." Su Qianqian took the milk, drank it in small sips, and avoided his gaze.

Gu Chengyu sat down beside her, his arm naturally wrapped around her waist, his chin resting on the top of her head, looking at the script in her hand: "So hardworking?"

"Yeah, I want to act better." She responded softly, leaning softly in his arms.

She thought she didn't like him enough, but his embrace really made her feel safe in this strange world.

Gu Chengyu felt her rubbing against him and tightened his arms around her: "You seem to be very busy lately? I don't see you often."

"I have to balance my studies and work." Su Qianqian explained softly, with a hint of coquettishness.

"Besides, I want to become a little better so that I can be a little more worthy of you."

This was half truth and half lie, but it successfully pleased the man.

Gu Chengyu chuckled, lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Silly words, my woman, you don't need to use these to prove it."
