Chapter 70 Lust

When Ruan Yi opened her eyes, her whole body felt relaxed and refreshed, a comfort she had never experienced after working non-stop for the past few days.

But as soon as I moved my fingertips, my heart started pounding for no reason. It wasn't because of anything else, but because of that strange dream from last night that I couldn't grasp yet was unusually clear.

When I try to recall, the dream is like sand slipping through my fingers; the harder I try to hold it, the faster it slips away.

Only fragmented pieces linger in my mind, absurd and bizarre.

The girl stared blankly at the empty foot of the bed for a long time.

Only after those blurry images completely faded did Ruan Yi finally breathe a long sigh of relief and raise her hand to press her throbbing temples.

In my dream, in the grove of trees on campus, pink petals covered the ground, as beautiful as a painting.

But the most outrageous thing was the person in her dream. In her mind at that time, Fu Jingchen was still a university professor, while the "self" in her dream was standing in front of him with a blush on her face.

She was watching it all from an outsider's perspective, like watching an absurd movie.

Ruan Yi was so nervous that her hands were trembling, but her voice was stiff.

"Professor Fu, haven't I made it obvious enough?!"

The girl's shyness was tinged with a naive and self-righteous confidence.

The man stood in the shadows, a smile playing on his lips, but his eyes were overflowing with doting affection. He deliberately put on a stern face and asked.

"Teacher-student relationships are illegal. Is Xiao Yi trying to make me lose my job?"

Then that version of myself froze, my eyes instantly turning red, as if I had just remembered this.

"I...I forgot! What should I do?"

That helpless look was just like... just like her in her past life when she was incredibly stupid.

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she shuddered.

The man suddenly took a step forward, and Ruan Yi, looking at herself in her dream, subconsciously shrank back, her back pressed against the tree trunk.

He leaned closer, his shadow completely enveloping him, his voice as low as a sigh.

"Then we'll...do it secretly."

The girl in the picture blushed bright red, and she could even feel the scorching heat from God's perspective.

How did this professor, who is usually so gentle and refined, suddenly become so lewd?

But my heart is pounding so hard it feels like it's going to explode. It's an uncontrollable liking that has accumulated from love at first sight to this moment.

The most outrageous thing was that the next second, Ruan Yi in the dream actually stood on tiptoe, cupped his face, and bit his lips.

He was in a hurry, like a starving lecher.

The man chuckled softly as he was kissed, and reached out to put his arm around her waist...

That's so true.

She's just such a lecherous little girl.

It was so real that she could even recall the touch of petals falling into her hair and feel her heart pounding in her chest during the dream.

But she knew very well that this had never happened.

Forget about confessing her feelings; she doesn't even have a memory of being alone with him in the grove.

All I could remember was Fu Jingchen's face, which looked like a ghost, when he tried to hurt A-Zhi.

Moreover, this doesn't match the story of her past life at all.

Ruan Yi covered her face, her mind a jumbled mess.

Could it be that she really has those kinds of feelings for Fu Jingchen?

How could that be! No matter what, Fu Jingchen's official partner is Gu Zhi, how could she have such thoughts?

Isn't this exactly the behavior of a truly vicious female supporting character?

She had long seen through Fu Jingchen's true colors; it must be because his big face was always in front of her.

Demon, you've disturbed her Daoist heart!

Ruan Yi suddenly threw off the covers and got out of bed. The coolness of her bare feet on the carpet cleared her mind a bit.

Why do I have these kinds of dreams after I go abroad?

It must be because I've been too tired lately and haven't had time for romance.

Professors, groves, clandestine romances... it's all nonsense!

No, I need to find a boyfriend quickly.

As she changed her clothes, she thought that it would be best if she were like Fu Wang, completely different from Fu Jingchen.

This would prove that she has absolutely no other feelings for him; it's just a physiological reaction due to her age, a side effect of being single.

I need to find some time to visit Fu Wang as soon as possible.

Once we're in a relationship, I can finally get rid of all this weird stuff.

The phone vibrated in my palm as soon as I picked it up; it was a voice call request from Gu Zhi.

I tapped "accept," and a low, slightly softened voice came through the phone.

"Sister, it's time for your check-up."

Ruan Yi looked at the chat box with a sense of helplessness. She had been very busy these days, but she had not forgotten A Zhi's request, although she often forgot to reply to him.

"The usual." The man's voice came through the receiver, carrying a subtle, alluring quality.

"Let's compare 7949 today and take a look around the room."

As he instructed, Ruan Yi raised his hand. Sunlight streamed through his fingers, making his fair and slender fingers almost transparent, with the tips curving into the shapes of numbers.

"7949, everything is normal!"

As she spoke, she turned around to show Gu Zhi the documents on the table, and a glimpse of her fair and slender legs flashed across the screen in the video.

"Yes, I saw it."

Gu Zhi took a while to respond this time.

"I saw my sister on camera just now. Did she not eat properly? She's lost weight again."

Ruan Yi was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.

"You can't possibly see anything in half a second! Don't try to find excuses or add conditions or times!"

Gu Zhi chuckled softly, his uniquely magnetic laughter tickling the heart.

But his tone suddenly became more serious, yet it still carried a soft, gentle tone.

"Sister, you've already owed me six times, so you have to grant me six requests."

"My sister didn't report back to me at 3:06 pm the day before yesterday, or 9:50 am the day before that... at those times."

"I'm really worried about my sister."

Ruan Yi then remembered the agreement she had made with Gu Zhi when she decided to postpone her return to China.

Mr. Ah was worried that she wouldn't be able to manage alone abroad, so he set a new rule for her to report on time, in addition to her previous promise.

If he cheats and lets something slip, you have to grant him one of his requests.

Ruan Yi thought he was just being stubborn and didn't take it to heart, but she didn't expect Gu Zhi to remember it so well.

He timed everything precisely, and all at perfectly normal times, leaving Ruan Yi with no excuse.

"Okay, okay, six conditions it is."

Ruan Yi was so angry she laughed helplessly.

"I'll make it happen when I get back. What do you want?"

"Save it for now," Gu Zhi said slowly.

In the background, the faint sounds of keyboard clicks and paper turning could be heard; Ah Zhi must already be helping Ruan Shi.

"I'll ask my sister for them one by one once I've thought it through."

“Okay.” Ruan Yi readily agreed, then added a few more words of advice.

"Stop worrying about me all the time, just focus on your work."

The voice on the other end paused for half a second, then returned to normal.

"I know, my sister loves me the most."

He smiled and agreed, then added softly.

"Sister, remember to think of me..."

Ruan Yi was too quick; she hung up the phone before she could even complain or joke back.

Hearing the busy tone from the receiver, she shook her head and put her phone back in her pocket.

Ah Zhi is so old, but he still loves to act cute.

Someone even more charming than her has appeared!

Is my younger brother trying to steal the nickname "Spoiled Little Demon" that Mom gave her when she was at home?

Meanwhile, in an unfamiliar office building, a man put down his phone, his fingertips gently tracing the edge of the screen.

Outside the window, the neon lights illuminated the night scene, but the man lowered his eyes and stared at his blurry reflection in the black screen, his eyes no longer showing any trace of the gentleness he had just displayed.

"Six conditions."

"Isn't it a bit too little?"

The assistant knocked on the door to deliver some documents, but received no response. He called out a few more times, as if he would stand outside the door indefinitely if the person inside didn't answer.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu?"

"Come in." The man at the desk snapped out of his reverie.

His fist was clenched tightly at his side, his knuckles white, revealing a hint of unspeakable anxiety.

It's too far away.

A sense of crisis that seemed uncontrollable arose spontaneously.
