At this moment, Xie Jing was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, the absurd scene from last night flashing through his mind from time to time. His face was full of regret. How could he have not been able to resist doing such a thing to Yun Shu?
Even after living in the apocalypse for several years, Xie Jing's thinking was still somewhat traditional. He and Gu Yunshu were just ordinary friends, and they shouldn't do intimate things that only lovers do. He was really confused by her last night.
Thinking about his conversation with Gu Yunshu this morning, Xie Jing felt both sad and aggrieved. He was listless, like a poor little dog abandoned by its owner.
When Xie Jing woke up in the morning and saw the absurd scene in the room, he immediately said that he would take responsibility, but Gu Yunshu ruthlessly rejected him.
Please, this is the apocalypse! Everyone's thinking about living for the moment, not taking responsibility. Marriage, of course? Romantic relationships and marital relationships mean nothing in the apocalypse.
Besides, does Gu Yunshu seem like the kind of submissive woman who needs a man to take responsibility for her? Who does she think she is?
However, Gu Yunshu was still quite satisfied with Xie Jing's performance last night, and she didn't mind having another regular male companion in the future.
Xie Jing was hurt by Gu Yunshu's indifferent attitude and refused her invitation to stay for breakfast. He returned home dejectedly.
A mix of emotions swirled within him as Xie Jing recalled everything that had happened from yesterday to today. Suddenly, he realized how foolish he had been. Why was he so fixated on taking responsibility for Yun Shu when it was Yun Shu who should be responsible for him? Yun Shu had made the first move last night.
A dark glint flashed in Xie Jing's eyes; getting away after taking advantage of him wouldn't be so easy.
In the small apartment on the other side, after watching Xie Jing leave, Gu Yunshu enjoyed a hearty breakfast, not at all worried that Xie Jing would really be angry and ignore her.
Of course, it doesn't matter if Xie Jing is really angry; she's willing to coax her if she wants to.
After breakfast, Gu Yunshu took another nap. Although she was a superhuman with a very good physique, she was still a little tired after a whole night of running around.
When Gu Yunshu woke up, she found that there was a batch of food in her system warehouse. Looking at the antique food box, she knew without a doubt that it was sent by Wu Li again.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunshu simply sent Wu Li a video call invitation.
The video call connected quickly. Wu Li grinned, showing off his big white teeth. He looked silly, making the originally handsome young man look like a little fool.
Gu Yunshu said with a smile, "Wu Li, why are you sending me things again? There's still a lot of what you sent before that I haven't finished eating."
The other party's excessive politeness also annoyed Gu Yunshu. She was not used to taking advantage of others, so every time Wu Li gave her something, she had to find a way to reciprocate.
"Miss Gu, this is a thank-you gift for you. Thank you so much for the glass cups. This set of cups has been a great help to my family," Wu Li said with a smile, her tone full of gratitude.
Gu Yunshu raised an eyebrow: "Is that cup very useful? If you like it, I'll give you two more sets."
Speaking of this glass cup, it was during the last video call between Gu Yunshu and Wu Li that Gu Yunshu was drinking water. Wu Li was amazed when she saw the glass cup Gu Yunshu used to drink water. Her envious look almost made Gu Yunshu think that her cup was made of gold.
Gu Yunshu had collected a large number of these glass cups in her system warehouse, and casually sent a set to Wu Li.
Wu Li was initially embarrassed to accept it. Such a precious glass cup was worth its weight in gold, so how could he accept it so casually?
After much back and forth, Gu Yunshu finally showed obvious impatience, and Wu Li obediently accepted it.
Having received a complete set of glass cups, Wu Li immediately showed them off to her parents as if they were treasures.
"This...this is a glass cup?" Master Wu was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly. It wasn't the first time he had seen a glass cup, but he had never seen one as crystal clear and without a single impurity as this. Not to mention that this was not a single cup but a set, making its value even more immeasurable.
Madam Wu wanted to reach out and touch it, but fearing she might break it, she silently withdrew her hand and asked with certainty, "Li'er, this was given to you by that Miss Gu, wasn't it?"
The title "Miss Gu" was requested by Gu Yunshu. Wu Li always addressed her as "Fairy," which made her extremely uncomfortable. She warned him that he had to change the title, or she would not want to talk to him anymore. Wu Li had no choice but to obediently change it.
"Well, actually, I saw Miss Gu using this cup to drink water, so I asked her a couple of questions. I didn't expect her to give me a set right away," Wu Li said with a hint of embarrassment.
With a solemn expression, Master Wu instructed, "You must thank Miss Gu properly. Didn't you say she likes the food at Linglong Restaurant? Remember to send her some extra."
"Dad, I understand," Wu Li nodded obediently.
Master Wu wanted to put the glass cup upside down and admire it properly, but he was afraid that it would be stolen by a thief in the middle of the night, so he had to reluctantly let his son take it back to his mysterious warehouse.
The Wu family was not short of money. Originally, Master Wu had decided to keep this set of glass cups as a family heirloom and pass it down from generation to generation. However, not long after, their family encountered an accident and the problem was solved by sacrificing the set of glass cups.
Here's what happened: After arriving in the capital, Master Wu was unwilling to sit idle and live off his savings. So he bought several shops at a high price to continue his old business. Under Master Wu's management, these shops became more and more successful. As a result, the success of these shops inevitably affected the business of their competitors.
It's possible that none of the shops in the capital had any connections, and it just so happened that the shop the Wu family offended was owned by the nephew of the Minister's wife.
The powerful and influential people could easily trip up the Wu family, and they couldn't resist at all. Although their son-in-law was also an official, he was only a minor official of the sixth rank, which was no match for the Minister.
The Minister's wife's nephew declared that he would make it impossible for the Wu family to survive in the capital.
What could the Wu family do? They could only find a powerful backer even greater than the Minister—Prince Gong, the current emperor's uncle and the late emperor's younger brother.
Prince Gong was truly blessed. As a child, he was protected by his father, the emperor; as an adult, he was protected by his elder brother, the emperor; and in his old age, he was protected by his nephew, the emperor. His ambition was to eat, drink, and have fun, and his favorite thing to do was to collect all sorts of strange and unusual things.
Wu Li gave the set of glass cups to Prince Gong and immediately received his protection.
Prince Gong was so fond of that set of glass cups that he also had a particularly good impression of Wu Li. When he heard that the Wu family was being harassed, he immediately sent a message to the Ministry of Rites.
By using Prince Gong's name as a powerful figurehead, the Minister's wife's nephew finally behaved and dared not make things difficult for the Wu family again.
After listening to Wu Li's account of what happened, Gu Yunshu couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the free environment of the apocalypse was more suitable for her. If she were to go to ancient times, she would definitely feel suffocated.
But it doesn't matter, she'll kill anyone who dares to make things difficult for her.
