Chapter 49 Someone in the Grass
Gu Heng asked her softly, "Then what counts as good?"
Chu Xiang pursed her lips and said with dissatisfaction, "You are not allowed to call me young again."
Since they got together, their relationship has only progressed to kissing and hugging. Gu Heng is like an ascetic monk who has no desires and will not do anything more outrageous. Even when he is hugging and kissing her, his hands will not move around.
Chu Xiang began to doubt her own charm.
Gu Heng grasped her hand. "I won't say it again, Xiangxiang. Don't be angry with me."
He had lived for over twenty years and had never coaxed anyone before, but with her, his coaxing skills seemed to have suddenly reached their maximum level, and his patience with her seemed to have no limit.
Chu Xiang only felt a little resentful, not really angry. As long as he was willing to coax her, she would naturally take the easy way out.
Taking a step closer, she looked up at him. "Did you come to the banquet to find me?"
Gu Heng nodded and smiled gently, "Yes."
Given his current status, he couldn't go to the Chu family to find Chu Xiang, so he came to the Meng family instead. As it turned out, he was right; Chu Xiang was indeed there.
Chu Xiang does have a bit of a princess complex, but not too much. She snuggled closer to him, feeling a little guilty. He's usually so busy with work, and because she doesn't reply to his messages, he has to come to the next city to see her on his days off.
Chu Xiang buried her face in his chest without speaking. Gu Heng reached out and encircled her body, then lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. His voice softened considerably, "I'm so glad to see you here."
Chu Xiang said sullenly, "I'm sorry, I won't ignore your messages anymore."
Gu Heng gently stroked the back of her head. "I made you unhappy. It's normal that you don't want to reply to my messages, Xiangxiang. There's no need to apologize."
He always showed great tolerance towards Chu Xiang, which was completely different from his public image.
Chu Xiang raised her eyes, her dark, moist eyes brimming with tears. "Did you drive here yourself?"
Gu Heng replied, "Yes."
He didn't know what was wrong with his answer. When Chu Xiang learned that he had driven there, her expression became even more apologetic, and her moist eyes were filled with regret.
Gu Heng asked gently, "Xiangxiang, what's wrong?"
Chu Xiang buried her face in his chest again, "I've seen a lot of news online, people have had car accidents while driving. Gu Heng, you have to be careful when you drive, and if you can avoid driving, please don't, okay?"
Gu Heng assumed she was worried about him. Even though he had never had a problem driving since getting his license, he wasn't an arrogant person. His girlfriend's thinking was sometimes different from his, and she had more worries about him than most people did. That was because he held a very important place in her heart.
Gu Heng chuckled softly, "Okay, I'll be careful."
Only after receiving his assurance did Chu Xiang feel a little relieved. She looked up and blinked, "I need to go see how July is doing. Wait for me."
Gu Heng tidied her hair and nodded in agreement.
Chu Xiang tiptoed and kissed his chin, then turned around and continued walking forward.
Gu Heng was in a good mood. He took a few steps back and saw a boy who looked like he had come out looking for someone.
When Chu Huai saw Gu Heng, he subconsciously straightened up and looked Gu Heng up and down with a critical eye. Since Gu Jue didn't have a good reputation with Chu Huai, he naturally didn't have any good feelings towards Gu Jue's brother either.
Gu Heng's attitude was very polite and courteous. "Hello, I am Gu Heng."
Chu Huai: "Of course I know who you are. It seems you know who I am too, so I don't need to introduce myself."
Gu Heng had also been young once, and he knew very well that Chu Huai's age was the time when he was most arrogant and reckless. However, as time passed and Gu Heng reached his current status, he no longer needed to understand the mentality of young people. But because of Chu Huai's special status, Gu Heng still had more patience.
He asked, "Is Young Master Chu looking for someone?"
Chu Huai asked, "Have you seen my sister?"
He was worried that Chu Xiang might have some problems if she left for too long, so he couldn't help but come out to look for her. Of course, there was also a very important reason: without Chu Xiang around, Chu Huai was really tired of dealing with all the women who wanted to play matchmaker for him or who were interested in her. He found an excuse to run away and immediately felt much more at peace.
Gu Heng said, "I saw Xiangxiang walk that way."
Chu Huai glanced in the direction Gu Heng pointed, knowing that Chu Xiang had gone somewhere. However, he also remembered Chu Xiang's words that she had told him to wait for her, so he sat down on a bench in the courtyard, intending to wait for Chu Xiang to return.
Chu Huai took out his phone and started a game, only to find the man sitting opposite him. He asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Gu Heng: "My reason for not leaving is the same as your reason for sitting here."
In stark contrast to Chu Huai's lazy and carefree demeanor, Gu Heng sat upright. A man who was too serious must be quite boring in real life.
Chu Huai had just witnessed how popular Gu Heng was in the crowd. Everyone's shrewd eyes were practically fixed on him. They had heard that Gu Heng was not married and didn't even have a girlfriend. Even if this man was boring, becoming Mrs. Gu would be like becoming a phoenix rising from the ashes.
No wonder Gu Heng was being stared at by that group of wolves and tigers.
Chu Huai assumed that Gu Heng was staying there because he didn't want to deal with those annoying women. He wasn't familiar with Gu Heng and was too lazy to talk to him. At the start of the game, Chu Huai played the marksman who could snipe from behind. He was very skilled and hit people several times, helping his team win the team battle.
However, this angered the opposing team. They were having a good team fight, but they always had to be on edge because of someone shooting them in the back. It was really frustrating.
So the three opponents stopped fighting and instead crouched in the bushes to ambush Chu Huai. Chu Huai was ambushed several times, and his teammates didn't even know to come and help. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't take on three opponents at once. Chu Huai's brows furrowed more and more.
Just as he cautiously prepared to make a move, Gu Heng said, "There should be someone in the bushes."
Chu Huai glanced up at Gu Heng, hesitated for a moment, and silently chose to retreat against the wall. At this moment, his vision skill was ready. As soon as he used the skill, there was indeed a burly enemy man in the bushes.
Chu Huai looked at Gu Heng curiously, "How did you know?"
Gu Heng: "After observing their movements for a while, it won't be hard to guess their next move."
Chu Huai assumed that Gu Heng had just gotten lucky and guessed correctly a few times, but in the next few times, Gu Heng successfully predicted the other party's movements, and Chu Huai's gaze towards Gu Heng gradually changed.
