Wu Xiaoxiao's first reaction was, where is he? Why didn't she see his gentlemanly manners?

Gu Chenge took in her disbelieving look, clicked his tongue, and after closing the bathroom door, he couldn't help but wonder if his character was really that bad.

Or was it that his intense interest in her made her wary?

But given her strong sense of caution, why did she fall for it tonight?

Gu Chenge closed his eyes, stood under the shower, and pondered how to cling to her next.

His vacation is short, and if he fails to make her think about him, she'll probably forget his name the next time they meet.

Gu Chenge was worried.

On the other hand, Wu Xiaoxiao was also worried, but quite the opposite of him, she wished she had nothing to do with him.

Wu Xiaoxiao had been sitting in the living room until Gu Chenge came out of the shower, at which point she immediately stood up.

"Young Master Gu, thank you for tonight. I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the door.

"Wait!" Gu Chenge called out to her, drying his hair as he approached, saying, "As the saying goes, a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Xiaoxiao interrupted, "As the saying goes, one should not expect anything in return for a favor..."

Gu Chenge: "This is different."

“What’s different?” Wu Xiaoxiao retorted.

"I owe you a life-saving favor..."

"Then name your price."

How much do you think your life is worth?

Wu Xiaoxiao knows the answer to this question.

She took out the smallest denomination bill from her bag and handed it to him: "One dollar."

Gu Chenge: "..."

Looking at Wu Xiaoxiao's incredibly pretty face, he suddenly felt a surge of desire and couldn't help but lick his lips.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaoxiao quickly took a few steps back, putting distance between herself and Gu Chenge.

Seeing this, Gu Chenge couldn't help but smile wryly: "Xiaoxiao, you don't need to be so wary of me!"

Wu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Second Young Master Gu, please don't misunderstand. I just feel that we're not that familiar yet, so..."

"So what?"

Gu Chenge interrupted her, scoffing, "You practically have 'You're a bad person' written all over your head, and you still think I've misunderstood?"

Wu Xiaoxiao didn't look up at him: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

Gu Chenge frowned: "You don't need to apologize."

"Young Master Gu, please stop making ambiguous statements in the future. I think it would be better if we kept our distance!" Wu Xiaoxiao said earnestly.

Seeing Wu Xiaoxiao's resolute attitude, Gu Chenge didn't dare to say anything more and could only smile awkwardly and nod.

Seeing that Gu Chenge agreed, Wu Xiaoxiao said, "Then I won't bother you any longer..."

"The second bedroom is safe. You can stay here tonight. It's already late. Do you want to linger any longer?"

Gu Chenge's assertive tone left no room for argument.

"I'm sorry to bother you."

After saying that, Wu Xiaoxiao walked towards the second bedroom.

After closing the door, she leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

Wu Xiaoxiao touched her heart; it was still beating very fast, but she knew it was only temporary.

She knew that Gu Chenge wouldn't do anything outrageous to her, so she didn't need to worry too much.

Wu Xiaoxiao calmed herself down and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Fifteen minutes later, she came out wearing a bathrobe and had just sat on the bed drying her hair when there was a knock on the door.

"I cooked some noodles, why don't you come out and have some too?"

"I don't eat anything tonight, thank you."

After Wu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, a few seconds later, Gu Chenge's voice sounded from outside the door: "Then you should rest well, good night."

Wu Xiaoxiao did not speak.

Gu Chenge stood there for a minute before returning to the dining room to eat noodles.

After he left, Wu Xiaoxiao put down the towel and sighed inwardly, wondering why it had to be him.

She didn't know why he liked her.

But his voice just now seemed to carry a hint of barely perceptible disappointment, and she didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Xiaoxiao still had no answer, and didn't even know what she wanted.

But since I've already rejected him, there's no need for me to keep dwelling on this issue.

Wu Xiaoxiao shook her head and smiled, then dried her hair and lay down on the bed.

For some reason, she has been feeling tired very easily lately, especially when she is lying in bed. She wants to sleep, but no matter how she turns over, she can't fall asleep.

She stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

My thoughts drifted far away.

Strange fragments always appear in her dreams. Some of these fragments feature strange characters, some feature strange events, and some are her own dreams.

Sometimes, Wu Xiaoxiao even doubts whether the person she is now is the real her.

Or was she just having a strange dream?

At times like these, she would tell herself that she was real.

In response to this situation, Wu Xiaoxiao once called her mother to ask if she had a twin sister.

Her mother said she was her only child.

This answer was exactly what Wu Xiaoxiao expected.

She accepted it quickly.

Perhaps she longed for a brother or sister so much that she dreamed about them so often. Isn't it often said that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night?

But if Rongrong knew about her dream, she would definitely tell her that it was different.

Unfortunately, Rongrong and Wu Xiaoxiao did not know each other.

Although Wu Xiaoxiao often had dreams about strange and unusual things, they were all just illusions, and she didn't pay much attention to them, feeling that there was no need to care.

The next day, sunlight streamed into the room through the glass windows.

Wu Xiaoxiao stretched and slowly sat up.

I went to bed too late last night, and my dark circles are quite bad.

Recalling what happened last night, she immediately got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Not long after, Wu Xiaoxiao changed into her clothes from yesterday and opened the door.

A figure stood there quietly, one hand in his pocket and the other gently fiddling with his phone.

"Awake?"

When Gu Chenge saw Wu Xiaoxiao, he smiled and picked up a paper bag from the side and handed it to her: "There are new clothes in here, go and change into them."

Wu Xiaoxiao did not answer.

Gu Chenge raised an eyebrow and looked at her, saying, "Don't worry, it's not free, it costs two hundred yuan."

Wu Xiaoxiao then accepted it, saying, "Thank you."

After she changed her clothes, she stood in front of Gu Chenge with two hundred yuan in cash, but was refused.

"Sorry, I don't accept cash, I only accept bank transfers."

"..."

Wu Xiaoxiao was so angry she wanted to hit him.

"You can't return the clothes you've worn."

Gu Chenge stared intently at her, blocking all her escape routes, and said in a somewhat dejected tone, "We've been in the same room, after all. Even if we're just ordinary friends, adding each other on WeChat isn't too much to ask, is it?"

He really said everything.

What else can Wu Xiaoxiao do?

I had no choice but to add him on WeChat and transfer 200 yuan to him.

When Gu Chenge saw Wu Xiaoxiao's reply, a smile appeared on his lips, as dazzling as the sun.

Wu Xiaoxiao looked at his smile and was momentarily dazed.
