Chapter 116 Study Abroad Life [Part 1] [VIP]

Chapter Summary: "So, Gu, are you ready to be kept as a pet?"

Fu Xianyin returned to Boston in early March.

During this period, she could see Gu Linzhao almost every day, and life was too comfortable. As it came time to leave, Fu Xianyin even felt a little anxious about separation.

She dragged Gu Linzhao to a hotel and demanded that he spend the night with her.

He was supposed to be with her, but somehow it turned into Gu Linzhao packing her things while she sat on the bed watching him.

Gu Linzhao only needed to turn his head to see the person sitting on the bed, pouting and looking at him pitifully.

He sighed, stood up, pinched Fu Xianyin's cheek, and said, "Poor thing."

Fu Xianyin pouted, biting her lip, almost bursting into tears.

Gu Linzhao held her chin, bent down and pecked her, saying, "I'll come visit you in a couple of days."

His eyes lit up almost instantly when he looked at Fu Xianyin.

Her voice became more excited as she said, "Really? You're coming to Boston to be with me? What about your job then?"

Gu Linzhao thought for a moment and said, "I quit. You can be my sugar daddy."

Fu Xianyin grinned and said, "Okay, I'll take care of you."

She was energized almost instantly, and her spirits lifted. She grabbed Gu Linzhao and asked him all sorts of questions: "Are you really going to come with me? You're not just kidding me, are you?"

Gu Linzhao said, "I was just trying to coax you, but I really do intend to go."

Fu Xianyin said, "Really?"

Gu Linzhao nodded, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "When have I ever gone back on my word?"

Having heard the definite answer, Fu Xianyin immediately began to push her luck.

She said, "Then why didn't you tell me sooner? Did you just want to see me make a fool of myself?"

She pushed Gu Linzhao onto the bed and reached out to grab his neck, but unexpectedly used too much force, knocking Gu Linzhao down onto the bed.

With her body pressed against him, Fu Xianyin simply lifted her leg and straddled him. She bent down, leaned in, and mischievously poked his Adam's apple, asking, "Was that on purpose, hmm?"

Someone supported her waist.

Fu Xianyin saw the person beneath her raise an eyebrow and say, "Whether I did it on purpose or not is hard to say, but you now..."

He gently massaged Fu Xianyin's waist with the heel of his hand, feeling the slight tremor beneath his touch. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Fu Xianyin is the type who won't budge no matter what.

Upon hearing this, she even leaned closer and provocatively blew air into his Adam's apple.

She said, "So what if it was intentional?"

"You're playing me, so what's wrong with me asking for some interest?"

The force on my waist suddenly increased.

Fu Xianyin threw himself onto her, his lips pressed against his Adam's apple. She wasn't done teasing him, and even deliberately rubbed her lips against that protrusion.

Gu Linzhao was almost laughing out of anger.

With his other hand, he stroked Fu Xianyin's face from bottom to top, and spoke, his voice already slightly hoarse.

He asked, "What time is my flight tomorrow?"

Fu Xianyin said, "In the morning."

Gu Linzhao said, "I can get up, can you?"

Fu Xianyin said, "Of course too."

The conversation abruptly ended.

Unexpectedly, Gu Linzhao switched their positions, cradling Fu Xianyin's head in his hand, his voice carrying a slight chuckle.

He mimicked Fu Xianyin's tone from before and asked, "Really?"

Fu Xianyin: ...

After a moment, she turned her head away, her voice tinged with displeasure:

"You're the one who just came up with this idea."

"So you think I asked you to come keep me company tonight just so you could sleep under the covers?"

Gu Linzhao was speechless, not expecting that she had already harbored some intention to overstep her bounds.

He sighed and said, "You little rascal."

Fu Xianyin seemed to enjoy the title.

Gu Linzhao called her that back in high school.

When their relationship was strained, she was afraid that Gu Linzhao's every word and action would touch on the past and pull her back into those memories she wanted to avoid.

Now that everything has settled down, she actually prefers these words that pull her back to the past.

They mentioned the past without any hesitation.

It was as if they had never been separated for six years.

She looked at Gu Linzhao.

My gaze lingered from his brow bone to his eyes.

Fu Xianyin raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck.

Then she kissed him.

My body still felt like it was falling apart.

When Fu Xianyin struggled to get out of bed, Gu Linzhao had already packed all her things.

He carried her to the bedside and dressed her piece by piece.

Fu Xianyin leaned against him like she had no bones. Gu Linzhao held her with one hand so she wouldn't fall off the bed, and with the other hand he had to put her clothes on.

He pinched Fu Xianyin's cheek and said, "Sit still."

Fu Xianyin didn't even want to open her eyes. She groped him haphazardly and then said, "No."

My earlobe was pinched lightly.

A voice whispered in my ear, "You've spoiled me rotten."

A subtle smile played at the corners of her lips.

This was actually much better than the night of the victory celebration.

But Fu Xianyin still suffered from lower back pain.

Last night, Gu Linzhao carried her to the bathroom to take a shower.

Throughout the entire bath, Fu Xianyin remained just as she had been, clinging to Gu Linzhao.

She truly had no strength left.

It felt like Gu Linzhao had completely torn me apart and then pieced me back together.

She drifted off to sleep, and the last thought that crossed her mind before she lost consciousness was...

So that's how I got that T-shirt last time.

Once dressed, Fu Xianyin knew she couldn't stay in bed any longer.

She struggled to get up, crawled into the car, and then lay sprawled out like she had no bones.

This time, Gu Linzhao took her to the airport.

They lingered in the lounge for a while longer until it was time to leave. Fu Xianyin then hooked her arm around Gu Linzhao's neck and reluctantly kissed him on the lips.

The flight was very smooth.

Exhausted last night, Fu Xianyin fell asleep almost the moment she boarded the plane. Apart from eating something during the flight, she was in a state of near unconsciousness for the rest of the time.

It was already evening when I landed in Boston.

Fu Xianyin took a taxi home, and after arriving home, she sent Gu Linzhao a WeChat message to let him know she was safe.

Almost instantly, Gu Linzhao called her.

It's still a video.

Fu Xianyin answered the call and sprawled on the sofa. It was daytime here, and sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a slanted beam of light on the floor.

Gu Linzhao was still at the company, his office brightly lit.

Fu Xianyin exclaimed, "President Gu is still working? He's so busy."

Gu Linzhao said, "I'm busy for a while now, I'll come see you next week."

Fu Xianyin immediately jumped up from the sofa.

"Next week?" Her voice was filled with delight. "So soon!"

Gu Linzhao chuckled and said, "Didn't I say I'd go in a couple of days?"

Fu Xianyin said, "For you bosses, a couple of days is a long way off. You're lucky if you can even get a definite answer."

Gu Linzhao sighed, "I'm so wronged."

Fu Xianyin said, "Then can you come and stay with me for a few days?"

Gu Linzhao asked, "How many days do you want me to stay?"

Fu Xianyin thought for a moment and said, "Could you come and stay with me for two weeks? I don't have a holiday next week, but the week after that, the school has spring break. I'll ask Andrew for two days off then, and see if we can make it ten days or so so we can go on a trip."

Gu Linzhao asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Fu Xianyin blinked and said, "It's a secret."

Gu Linzhao's eyebrows relaxed, and he said, "Okay, then I'll wait for Teacher Fu to take me out to play."

During her years in the United States, Fu Xianyin would go out to play when she was bored on weekends or holidays.

Sometimes she meets friends who are free, and they get together; otherwise, Fu Xianyin goes by herself.

She has traveled alone to the desert, driven around Yellowstone National Park, gone diving in Hawaii, and surfed in Costa Rica.

But she would always think of Gu Linzhao.

I think of it when I see an endless desert, and I also think of it when I see colorful schools of fish in the sea.

I think of this when I stand on a mountaintop watching the sun slowly rise through the clouds, and I also think of it when I chase the last wave at dusk.

But at that time, she never dared to hope that her wish would come true.

She would sit alone on the beach for a very long time, listening to the waves lapping against the sand, watching the sun slowly set on the horizon, the sea reflecting the rippling sunset, and the waves gradually washing over her feet.

She just sat there.

She imagined what she would do if Gu Linzhao were by her side.

She wanted to pull him into the sea, to get their clothes soaked by the same wave, to hug him on the beach, to kiss him on the beach.

Fu Xianyin thought about it for a long time.

But in the end, she felt that if Gu Linzhao were really there, it would be enough for her to see him from afar.

There's no need to hug her or kiss her.

There's no need to even see her.

As long as she sees you, she'll just glance at you from afar.

Fu Xianyin felt that she would be very satisfied.

The sky outside the window is clear and blue.

Fu Xianyin looked at the person on the screen, smiled and said, "Okay."

The day after returning to Boston, Fu Xianyin went to work at the school.

Andrew was incredibly surprised when he saw her in the lab. He said, "You just got back yesterday. Didn't I tell you you could rest today?"

Fu Xianyin said somewhat embarrassedly, "My boyfriend is coming over next week, and the week after next is the Spring Festival holiday. I was thinking of asking you for two days off to make it about ten days to go out with him, so I felt bad about not coming today."

Upon hearing this, Andrew was so shocked he almost jumped up.

The old man's beard twitched, and he stared wide-eyed, stunned for more than ten seconds.

Fu Xianyin was speechless at his exaggerated expression.

She sighed and said, "Science shows that if you look shocked for more than three seconds, you're faking it. And you're faking it for so long."

"Are you not going to approve this leave for me?"

Andrew said, "Wait, wait."

He looked at Fu Xianyin, sized her up and down, and then asked, "You went back and stayed for two months, and all you did was start a relationship?"

Fu Xianyin was completely candid: "Yes, so what?"

She turned a page of data, and the diamond ring on her hand glittered slightly in the sunlight.

Andrew was shocked again: "Your ring...?!"

Fu Xianyin said, "Yeah, we're dating, I proposed, and we're getting married soon."

Everything happened so suddenly.

Andrew couldn't understand how his student, who had only been back in China for two months, could have already started dating.

They're even getting married!

For some reason, seeing Andrew's shocked expression again and again, Fu Xianyin felt inexplicably comfortable.

She shrugged, stood up, stretched, and then said, "I will definitely write you an invitation when I get married."

“So,” she said, not forgetting the main point, winking at Andrew and asking, “Can you approve the leave?”

...

Andrew approved her leave very readily.

Fu Xianyin's enthusiasm for work has increased significantly, and her work progress has improved markedly.

On the day Gu Linzhao arrived, Fu Xianyin drove to the airport to pick him up.

She washed her car a day early and even threw away the nearly empty car air freshener, replacing it with a new one.

After everything was done, Fu Xianyin did a final check on her home to make sure it was clean and tidy before driving to the airport.

The flight wasn't delayed; everything was just right.

The moment Fu Xianyin saw Gu Linzhao, she still felt a sense of unreality.

She pounced on him, hugged his neck and kissed him, then pinched his face, touched his lips, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Gu Linzhao watched as she groped him all over.

He laughed: "Trying to be a scoundrel the moment we meet?"

Fu Xianyin took his hand; his hand was large enough to completely envelop hers.

After being enveloped in familiar warmth, Fu Xianyin gradually began to feel a sense of reality.

She said, "Come on, I'll take you home."

She drove Gu Linzhao all the way back to the apartment.

Gu Linzhao followed her completely.

Where to take the elevator, which floor to press, and where to go after exiting the elevator.

These were things that Gu Linzhao usually did when they were together, and she didn't have to worry about, but now she was doing them all.

It's a very strange feeling.

It's about sharing your territory with your closest loved ones, or sharing your nest.

She gradually brought him into her life, erasing some of the unknowns between them.

Opening the door, Fu Xianyin picked up the cannon she had prepared in advance and fired a shot at the living room.

With a whoosh, colorful ribbons flew everywhere.

Fu Xianyin said with a smile, "Welcome to my humble abode, Mr. Gu."

She stretched out her arm in a gesture of display, and asked Gu Linzhao, "So, Mr. Gu, are you satisfied with this home?"

"Satisfied." Gu Linzhao put down the box, nodded, and said, "Very satisfied."

A smile spread across Fu Xianyin's face.

She said, "For the next two weeks, Teacher Fu will be your sugar daddy."

"So, Gu, are you ready to be kept by a sugar daddy?"
