"Me? You're saying its previous host was me?"
She laughed and said, "Are you sick? If you want to sow discord, at least come up with a plausible excuse. I've never lost my memory. Do you think I wouldn't know if it's been looking for me or not?"
Even after his intentions were exposed, 0827 remained unperturbed. "This is just the tip of the iceberg. You can't accept it? I look forward to the day you know the whole truth."
Su Jin felt a chill run down her spine in her dream. "What truth? You only say half of what you mean. I hope you grow a taste bud in your scoundrel eyes."
0827: "..."
The voice never returned, and Su Jin stood alone in the darkness, bewildered. "No? You can leave, but at least wake me up!"
She waved her arms haphazardly in this space.
"ah!"
A cry of pain woke her up.
Su Jin slowly woke up and opened her eyes with difficulty.
Gu Xingze knelt beside her bed, covering half his face with a wronged expression, "Wife..."
Su Jin stared at him for a while, then, convinced she was still dreaming, turned over and continued sleeping.
Gu Xingze kept talking, rambling on and on, "Wife, don't worry, keep sleeping. I'll be right here watching over you and won't let any other scumbags get close."
Su Jin thought to herself, "Aren't you shameless?"
He lay on the edge of the bed with his eyes half-closed. He had been traveling for nearly seven hours and was exhausted.
But seeing Su Jin's sleeping face is like going back to any day in the past three years.
He tiptoed home, covered her with the blankets she had kicked off, and then bent down to kiss her.
Gu Xingze seemed to be lost in a fantasy. He hadn't slept well in the days since Su Jin left, and now he was immersed in the dream he had woven.
He sat up and gently lowered his head to press his lips to her forehead.
Then a slap landed on Gu Xingze's other cheek, waking him up.
Su Jin sat up and rubbed the spot where he had kissed her vigorously. "Are you sick? What kind of habit is it to kiss other people so casually?"
Tears welled up in Gu Xingze's eyes as he was slapped. "I was wrong..."
Su Jin picked up her phone; it was three in the morning.
"Your legs are your own, I can't control whether you come or not, but don't bother me while I'm sleeping."
After saying that, she lay down and continued to sleep.
Gu Xingze sniffed, not daring to get into bed, so he could only lie on the floor, using his coat as a pillow, which was very hard.
But he felt good because Su Jin was right next to him, and he slept better than he had at any time in the past few days.
Listening to her soft breathing and the rustling sounds of her movements, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
...
Su Jin was awakened again by the chirping of cicadas and birds outside; she had been sleeping well.
She stretched her legs and turned her head.
"Holy crap!"
She saw a pair of eyes staring at her right next to her bed, the blue light of dawn shining in through the window making it look particularly eerie.
Su Jin instantly thought of ghosts and gods, and coupled with the things that came to her dream last night, her hair stood on end, and she couldn't help but scream out.
Gu Xingze realized he had frightened her and quickly reassured her, "It's me, it's me, don't be afraid."
Su Jin was still in shock, breathing heavily.
Gu Xingze quickly got into bed, grabbed a blanket from the side, and wrapped it around her trembling body. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I shouldn't have looked at you. Don't be afraid, Jinjin."
Su Jin gradually calmed down and broke free from his embrace.
She tossed her messy hair aside, glared at him, and said, "Are you out of your mind? You startled me this early in the morning."
Gu Xingze woke up very early; it was indeed difficult to sleep well on the ground.
He peeked at Su Jin from the edge of the bed.
She looked completely harmless while asleep, her eyelashes drooping, her lips slightly parted from sleeping on her side, and her cheeks looking very soft. He really wanted to pinch her cheeks or kiss her lips a few times.
But he had the desire but not the courage, and only dared to stretch out his finger to trace the outline of Su Jin's facial features through the air.
He obediently apologized, "I was wrong, I missed you so much... I just wanted to see you, I haven't had a good night's sleep in ages..."
Except for the first sentence, Su Jin didn't hear the rest at all.
"When did you start speaking so softly? Like a mosquito."
"I'm afraid you'll find me annoying..." Gu Xingze glanced at her quickly, then hurriedly tidied up his clothes.
"Honey, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."
Su Jin silently thought, "It's best if he doesn't come back."
She was alone in the bedroom. 007 coughed twice and said, "I'm still here. Can you two stop being so lovey-dovey?"
I was already in a bad mood this morning, and this just happened to be the last straw.
"I was about to ask you the same thing. What happened last night? Where's your head? What's gotten into my head again?"
Su Jin really wanted to have her brain opened so that any random thing could get inside.
Now it was 007's turn to be confused. "What are you talking about? What happened last night? I didn't notice anything."
"Huh? Last night, a strange thing suddenly appeared in my head and told me that I was your previous host. What a lame lie."
007 chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, yeah, what a clumsy lie. How could anyone believe such a lie?"
Su Jin sensed something was wrong. What was with 007's guilty tone?
Before she could come up with a solution, there was a knock on the door.
"Is Ms. Su here? I need to discuss something with you." It was the director's voice.
Su Jin opened the door. "Director Yan? What's the matter?"
Director Yan: "Well, President Gu and I discussed it, and he also wants to participate in the recording. What do you think?"
"What!?" Thinking about what she had to face, Su Jin truly felt that she would rather be dead.
Director Yan smiled apologetically, explaining that Gu Xingze had offered to sponsor the program and had donated 30 million to the foundation established by the Yan family.
Director Yan accepted the first condition but politely declined the second. He had no connection with the Yan family, and what happened to the Yan family was none of his business.
Su Jin stepped over Director Yan and walked straight toward Gu Xingze behind him.
"What exactly do you want? If you want me dead, just say so. Is it necessary to torture us like this?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Director Yan slipped away.
Gu Xingze reached out, "Hey! Don't just stand by and watch me die!"
Su Jin grabbed his tie and pulled it down, forcing him to look directly at her.
"What exactly do you want? Isn't it chaotic enough already?"
Gu Xingze obediently lowered his head, as if he had returned to the night before Su Jin left.
He chained himself with a collar and then personally handed the other end of the chain to Su Jin—that was crazy.
"Wife..."
Su Jin watched helplessly as his eyes gradually became glazed over, and she was so frightened that she let go of his hand and took a few steps back. "What are you doing? Don't get horny so early in the morning."
The madman is afraid of the insane.
Gu Xingze's next move startled her so much that she jumped three feet high.
He handed his tie back to her.
This familiar gesture clearly reminded Su Jin of that day.
She smiled and lowered her brow, "You really are..."
