Chapter 52 A Space for Two

Her life has always been monotonous. She has never been to a bar and has never seen a model on set...

This time, she saw so many handsome men and beautiful women wearing cool clothes, which was a feast for her eyes.

Xu Ruochu's mind had already drifted away.

Seeing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across Gu Yixiao's eyes.

This girl actually dares to look at other men like this!

"Why, you like it?"

Gu Yixiao's voice suddenly sounded above her head, startling Xu Ruchu.

Her face flushed. "No... everyone likes beautiful things~"

"Oh? Really?" His voice was a little playful. "If you want to see abs, go to the locker room and I'll show you mine."

“…”

Xu Ruochu rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

How many sides of this man does she not know?

She suddenly wanted to know.

However, she was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned in another direction to continue watching the models walk the runway.

Gu Yixiao reached out and pinched her chin and turned her towards him, and the chair turned with her.

"How long do you want to stay here? If you're reluctant to leave those male models, I'll call one for you to take home and look at slowly."

He looked at the time on the wall clock and asked her.

"I don't just look at male models. Don't you think the female models are prettier?" Ru Chu said seriously.

Gu Yixiao’s handsome face darkened.

Xu Ruochu immediately added: "Of course, you are more pleasing to the eye than male models, if you look at..."

She stared at him with a face full of infatuation, "I would also choose to look at a handsome guy like you who doesn't want money~"

"Really? Then shouldn't I thank you?" Gu Yixiao's tone was sinister.

Xu Ruochu quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, you're welcome! You're just naturally beautiful~"

“…”

This mouth is really clever...

Gu Yixiao resisted the urge to crush her to death and warned her in a low voice, "Except for Ziyang and me, you'd better stay away from other men."

Her eyes flickered, and she looked at him innocently for a moment: "Why don't you let me stay away from everyone?"

"It's a farce."

After taking the last sip of the cocktail, he put down the glass, took her hand and left.

"I still have a glass left to drink..." Xu Ruchu protested reluctantly.

Gu Yixiao simply stretched out his other hand, picked up the glass of apple juice, and continued to lead her away with the other hand.

Xu Ruochu: “….”

Seeing that the drink was not wasted, she finally relaxed and let him lead her.

His palm was warm and broad, and she felt his body temperature slowly transfer to her, and a warm current instantly surged through her body.

He brought her to the boxing gym, straight into his locker room, and gently pushed her to sit on the sofa.

"Remember, I'm the only man you can look at," he said.

"No! I have the final say over my eyes!" Xu Ruochu immediately retorted.

She was unwilling to submit to his tyranny.

Gu Yixiao's gaze fell on her stubborn face and he frowned.

"Xu Ruochu, when did you become so disobedient?"

"How could I be disobedient? I've always been like this, okay!" she argued confidently.

What’s the point of being obedient?

When she was obedient, he still ignored her and tortured and killed her.

She just... wanted to get away from him.

Gu Yixiao looked at her stubborn little face, and after a long silence, he said softly, "Are you angry with me?"

"Where is it?"

"Then why did you reject me?" His voice suddenly became low and hoarse, as if he was accusing or questioning.

"......" Xu Ruochu bit her lip and said nothing.

"Tell me the reason." Gu Yixiao approached her, put his arms on both sides of her, looked down at her with deep eyes.

Xu Ruochu didn't dare to look him in the eye.

In order to avoid being questioned again, she had to compromise.

"Okay, okay, there's no reason, I was just saying it casually..." she whispered.

"Just saying it casually?" Gu Yixiao snorted coldly.

"Yeah." She nodded.

Gu Yixiao suddenly rubbed her hair, his eyes as gentle as water.

Xu Ruochu was stunned and subconsciously looked up at him.

His eyes were deep, as if containing the vast starry sky, deep and profound.

She was so mesmerized by his gaze that she forgot to avoid it.

Gu Yixiao's thin lips curled up slowly, and he said with a doting yet helpless look, "Little fool."

She doesn't speak.

At this time, the doorbell rang and the waiter delivered the takeaway.

After the two of them had a simple meal, Xu Ruochu suggested practicing boxing moves.

"You just had a meal and need to digest it for a while before doing strenuous exercise." Gu Yixiao advised patiently.

She curled her lips in disapproval.

But he insisted that she rest.

Xu Ruochu had no choice but to sit down and continue to rest.

"Why, unwillingly?" he asked suddenly.

"How dare I?" Xu Ruochu muttered. "I just really want to train myself, so I want to learn fighting skills as quickly as possible."

Gu Yixiao raised an eyebrow. "Just think of this as our own private space. It's rare for us to be together so peacefully."

Stay together peacefully?

She didn't dare to think so...

Xu Ruochu sighed secretly, took out the book from his schoolbag and started reading.

People who value time don't want to waste even a little bit of it, so she takes advantage of her breaks to study.

Gu Yixiao stared at her quietly for a long time, then suddenly took the book from her hand and threw it on the coffee table. "You won't fail the exam if you read less."

"Ah! I haven't even read a few pages..."

Before Xu Ruochu could finish her words, the man grabbed her hand and led her out.

She blinked her big eyes and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go out and take a walk." Gu Yixiao said lightly.

Xu Ruochu didn't ask any more questions. He followed him and walked out without saying a word.

The environment at night is very quiet. Since the boxing gym is located in a remote area, there are not many people coming and going outside.

When they went out, it was already dark.

Xu Ruochu walked side by side with him, her head lowered, her expression unrecognizable.

A breeze blew by, ruffling the short hair on her forehead and spreading her hair loose.

Gu Yixiao stopped and stretched out his slender index finger to help her push her hair aside.

"Remember to come here to find me on your days off." His voice was indifferent and gentle, without any emotion.

"......" Xu Ruochu pursed her lips and said nothing.

Gu Yixiao looked over her shoulder and into the distance, "Few people know that I often hang out here."

She still didn't say anything, and didn't know what to say because he had already made his point clear.

Gu Yixiao withdrew his gaze and walked slowly forward.

The two of them walked aimlessly along a deep and quiet path. As they walked, she couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, cousin, are you really not getting engaged to the Lin family on October 1st?"
