Is it truly sweet to follow one's heart's desire?
However, Yu Qiuchi was destined to be unable to give Gu Xiaojun the answer he wanted.
The silence in the air was broken by a woman's voice: "Brother Jun, where are you? You're such a roughneck, you don't know any of those artsy, 'keeping a mistress in a golden house' stuff, do you?"
Yu Qiuchi turned around and saw that the black curtain had been lifted, and a girl with at least six colors in her hair was standing there, looking inside with a gossipy expression!
The girl had a baby face and wore a dopamine-inspired outfit, which Yu Qiuchi didn't quite appreciate. The only point he could discuss was her slightly unconventional style, which was undeniably flashy. She also wore very unique green eyeshadow and had many ribbons wrapped around her pigtails, making her look quite pretty.
Before Yu Qiuchi could react, the girl with the colorful nail polish pounced on him like a wolf. She carefully poked Yu Qiuchi's face with her painted nail polish, and Yu Qiuchi instantly turned into a screaming chicken: "Waaaaah!"
"It's true! Her face looks even softer and smoother than in the pictures!" The girl's pigtails swayed back and forth, unconsciously nudging Yu Qiuchi's hand: "Mommy, I've seen her in person!"
"Chi Bao, who do you like?!" The girl looked on with a gossipy expression. He pulled Yu Qiuchi down to sit, as if he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk: "Whether it's Tang Ke or Zhou Shen, as long as you give the order, I'll definitely help you win them over!"
"No, you don't need to chase them, Chi Bao. Just beckon them and they'll automatically come to you!"
"How about this, why don't you consider our boss?" The girl pointed to Gu Xiaojun, who was standing there: "Our boss is about 1.95 meters tall, strong and healthy, good-looking, rich, and has abs. Most importantly, with that physique, he must be incredibly strong in bed!"
The girl was talking so fast that Yu Qiuchi couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Gu Xiaojun coughed lightly and, relying on his height and strength, pulled the girl away: "Stay away from him."
As if struck by a sudden realization, the girl snapped her fingers as her manicured nails collided in mid-air: "Bingo, boss, are you jealous?!"
She patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Chi Bao and I have different sexual orientations!"
Gu Xiaojun handed the manuscript to the girl and said apologetically to Yu Qiuchi, "Sometimes she has too much hormone secretion in her brain, so don't worry about her."
"What do you mean 'don't worry about it'!" The girl flipped through the manuscript a couple of times and was immediately dissatisfied upon hearing this. She said to Yu Qiuchi with great confidence, "My name is Bai Zimeng, you can call me Zimeng. I'm a top player in the domestic tattoo industry. If I claim to be second, the boss dares to claim to be first!"
Yu Qiuchi: "..."
She thought the girl would say, "If I'm second, nobody dares to claim first!"
"Boss, I looked at this a couple of days ago, shall we start now?"
This was Yu Qiuchi's first time encountering tattoos, and also the first time she had ever seen someone get a tattoo.
Gu Xiaojun chose a location on the right ribcage, slightly below the chest and above the waistband, covering a large area.
Although she didn't get the tattoo herself, Yu Qiuchi felt quite pained just looking at the beads of sweat on Gu Xiaojun's abs.
"Does it hurt?" Yu Qiuchi asked a very pointless question, the kind that's just making conversation out of nothing.
"fine."
"It depends on where you want the tattoo."
The first answer was given by Gu Xiaojun, and the second by Zi Meng.
“The areas with thin skin, like the boss’s, are more painful. The abdomen and sides are generally more painful, but it depends on the individual’s pain sensitivity,” Bai Zimeng explained.
"Where does it usually not hurt to get a tattoo?" Yu Qiuchi seemed very interested.
“It depends on the individual’s pain sensitivity. Everyone’s pain points are different. But looking at Qiu Chi’s fair and tender skin, it will probably hurt no matter where she gets a tattoo,” Bai Zimeng said. “However, areas with thicker fat usually don’t hurt as much.”
Bai Zimeng glanced meaningfully at Yu Qiuchi's lower body, then whistled in a lewd manner.
Yu Qiuchi blinked as she met Gu Xiaojun's gaze, then her face flushed red as she followed Gu Xiaojun's naked and burning gaze.
Gu Xiaojun's gaze fell on his buttocks... thick with fat...
"What, handsome guy wants a tattoo too?" Bai Zimeng raised an eyebrow: "Then you'll have to wait a few days. Our boss is much better than me. If you want a tattoo, our boss will be more than happy to serve you!"
Gu Xiaojun suddenly spoke up: "If you want to get a tattoo, you should think carefully. Tattoos may affect your employment in certain industries, such as joining the army, becoming a civil servant, taking the civil service exam, or becoming a police officer. There may also be issues like inflammation. More importantly, many people don't finish getting a tattoo because of the pain."
"Although there are many ways to remove tattoos now, it still involves suffering."
Yu Qiuchi nodded blankly: "Someone like me can't be a policeman or anything like that. But someone as afraid of pain as me should never get a tattoo in this lifetime."
Yu Qiuchi is someone who knows how to take care of herself and enjoy life; she wouldn't suffer like this.
"But Junxiao, why did you decide to get a tattoo?" Yu Qiuchi asked, looking at Gu Xiaojun's gaze. "I've always been curious about why you, Junxiao, who is a tattoo artist, would get a tattoo..."
“Oh, our boss used to say he didn’t want to use other people’s designs, and he felt that the designs didn’t capture his feeling, so he was never satisfied.” Bai Zimeng casually continued, “I don’t know, but a few days ago he suddenly had some kind of madness and finalized the design.”
Gu Xiaojun's eyes were deep, and when he looked at Yu Qiuchi, there was a hint of a smile: "I met a rather special person, a very passionate friend who can capture all my attention."
Even though they were talking about friends, Yu Qiuchi inexplicably sensed a tender feeling in their voice, as if it were a piece of candy that she was reluctant to spit out but also reluctant to swallow, the sweetness slowly exploding in her mouth, even the words spoken on her tongue were sweet.
Yu Qiuchi emphasized to herself that she was a married man and dared not respond.
But Bai Zimeng was unaware of this and kept promoting the thirty-year-old man from their studio who was difficult to sell.
"Qiu Chi, how many have you dated before?" Bai Zimeng suddenly asked, watching Yu Qiu Chi's ears slowly turn pink. He exclaimed in surprise, "Qiu Chi, you don't really mean what you said on the show, that you've never dated before, do you!"
Meeting Gu Xiaojun's probing gaze, Yu Qiuchi nodded awkwardly.
"Qiu Chi, you really don't look like it. You're so handsome, you must have a lot of suitors!" Bai Zimeng looked incredulous at this answer: "Do you know our boss? He was already dating when he was eighteen."
Bai Zimeng suddenly felt a chill behind her.
"Hmm, how do you know he dated someone when he was 18?" Yu Qiuchi asked curiously, since Gu Xiaojun didn't seem like the type of person who would complain about or talk about his exes with people now.
“He and I were high school classmates. His high school life was completely different from his life now. It was incredibly exciting. Our high school life wouldn’t have been as interesting without him.”
Yu Qiuchi was somewhat surprised to see Bai Zimeng's baby face painted with such bold and flamboyant colors. He thought Bai Zimeng was only about the age of a recent college graduate, but it turned out she was in the same year as Gu Xiaojun.
She's even older than him!
