Huang Zeyu parked his car by the roadside and watched Lu Qing run into the restaurant in the rain, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"It's all just pretense; only a young girl would believe that!"
Lu Qing quickly brought back the packaged spicy crab.
Because the shop was nearby, she didn't use an umbrella, and although she wore a hat, her hair still got a little wet.
Huang Zeyu handed her a clean towel: "Wipe yourself off, don't catch a cold!"
"Thank you, but no need!"
Lu Qing didn't like using other people's things, especially since Huang Zeyu was a man with an extremely rich private life.
She didn't want to touch that towel, as she didn't know how many women had used it.
Huang Zeyu did not insist.
Lu Qing remained silent, responding indifferently to whatever Huang Zeyu said.
They chatted awkwardly like this until they finally arrived at their destination.
"Thank you for bringing me here. I'll head down now!"
Lu Qing opened the car door and was about to get in when Huang Zeyu caught up with her:
"Miss Lu Qing, would you mind adding me on the contact list? I'd like to treat you to dinner sometime!"
Lu Qing: "Um... adding each other on WeChat is fine, but there's no need to eat together. I'm busy with classes and don't have time."
"Oh well!"
Lu Qing gave Gu Xicheng's number to him and then quickly left.
Gu Xicheng, who was working, suddenly received a friend request from an unknown number. Just as he was wondering who it was, Lu Qing walked in.
"Gu Xicheng, look what I brought you!"
Gu Xicheng immediately put down his phone and went over:
"It's so late, and it's raining so hard outside, why are you here?"
Seeing that Lu Qing's hair was wet, Gu Xicheng quickly grabbed a towel to dry it for her.
"I just visited Guyu at the hospital. She's already awake. After I came out, I thought you probably hadn't had dinner yet, so I ordered spicy crab and grilled fish to eat with you."
Seeing Lu Qing's smile, Gu Xicheng's heart almost melted.
"Qingqing, it's so good to have you!"
Gu Xicheng hugged Lu Qing tightly and kissed her on the forehead.
"Let's eat!" Lu Qing said with a smile.
Gu Xicheng had just sat down when his phone rang again—it was that same unfamiliar friend request from before.
Lu Qing couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing this:
"Why isn't it approved?"
Gu Xicheng: "Why should I accept a stranger's request if they don't explain their purpose?"
Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Xicheng's eyes flashed: "Do you know who this is?"
Lu Qing recounted what had just happened, and Gu Xicheng's face immediately darkened:
"What does Huang Zeyu mean by this? Is he trying to steal my girlfriend?"
Lu Qing: "This guy doesn't look like a decent person at all. If I could get a taxi, I wouldn't have taken his ride!"
Gu Xicheng: "Tell me if you can't get a taxi next time, and I'll have the driver pick you up."
"I just wanted to give you a surprise!" Lu Qing said with a smile.
"If another guy like Huang Zeyu comes along, it won't be a surprise, it'll be a shock!" Gu Xicheng muttered.
Lu Qing chuckled and pulled Gu Xicheng's arm, saying:
"I've learned my lesson. I'll give him your WeChat ID, and it's up to you whether he accepts or not."
Gu Xicheng thought for a moment, then accepted the friend request.
Almost immediately after the approval, a message came from the other side:
[Miss Lu Qing, I just returned to Kyoto and am not very familiar with the local cuisine. Do you have any recommendations?]
Gu Xicheng was almost certain that Huang Zeyu was there to steal his girlfriend.
After thinking for a moment, he replied immediately:
Mr. Huang, thank you for bringing my fiancée home today!
Kyoto has a lot of delicious food, like the restaurant my Qingqing specially brought me, it was really good!
After sending it, Gu Xicheng even took a picture and sent it over.
In one corner of the photo, he and Lu Qing are holding hands, showing off their matching couple rings.
Upon seeing the photo, Huang Zeyu couldn't help but scoff:
"I never thought that the eldest son of the Gu family could be so childish. It's just a woman he married into a family through an arrangement, yet he's so concerned about her."
Huang Zeyu originally thought Lu Qing was just an ordinary girl with good looks, but now his opinion has changed.
A woman who could make Gu Xicheng go to such lengths for her—he wanted to meet her for himself.
A glint of desire to conquer flashed in Huang Zeyu's eyes.
Having been through countless romantic encounters, he never believed that any woman could escape his grasp.
Just then, Lu Qing, who was eating, sneezed violently.
"What's wrong? Have you caught a cold?" Gu Xicheng asked quickly.
"It's nothing, my nose is just a little itchy, probably from the chili peppers."
Lu Qing rubbed her nose, not paying any attention.
Since the next day was Saturday and there were no classes, Lu Qing did not go back to the dormitory, but stayed in the office to keep Gu Xicheng company while he worked overtime until he finished his work.
By nightfall, the rain that had been falling for most of the day finally stopped.
Around nine o'clock, Gu Xicheng finally finished his work.
Lu Qing, on the other hand, was not sleepy at all and was still enjoying playing the mini-games.
Gu Xicheng held Lu Qing's hand and felt it was a little cold, so he went to make her a cup of cold medicine.
"You got caught in the rain today, so have a drink, or you'll catch a cold!"
Lu Qing immediately covered her mouth and refused: "I don't have a cold, I don't want to take medicine!"
"Don't worry! This medicine is sweet, not bitter," Gu Xicheng coaxed gently.
Lu Qing: "Really?"
Gu Xicheng nodded: "When have I ever lied to you!"
Lu Qing tried a little, and sure enough, it wasn't bitter; it was even sweet. So he drank it all in a few gulps.
Gu Xicheng's gaze fell on the few drops of medicine on her lips. He suddenly leaned down and kissed them, wiping the medicine off her lips.
"This is called sharing joys and sorrows, you know?" Gu Xicheng chuckled.
Lu Qing glared at him playfully:
"What do you mean by sharing joys and sorrows? You're clearly trying to take advantage of me!"
"If Qingqing wants to take it back, I would be more than happy to."
Gu Xicheng closed his eyes, looking as if he was ready to be disposed of.
Lu Qing chuckled: "Alright, let's hurry home."
"Yes, my dear wife!"
Gu Xicheng grabbed Lu Qing's waist, then picked her up and carried her to the parking lot.
"Gu Xicheng, it's not like I don't have legs, why won't you let me walk by myself!"
Gu Xicheng: "Because I want to hold you, just like this, and walk together for a lifetime."
Since he started having sex, Gu Xicheng has been showering Lu Qing with sweet talk, making her blush every time.
Once home, he unleashed his true nature, becoming completely unrestrained.
One weekend, those without boyfriends lay in bed feeling suffocated, while those with boyfriends suffered from backaches and pains.
Leng Wei and Tang Yu's relationship is still in its early stages and hasn't progressed to that point yet.
Fortunately, Lu Qing had Gu Fei, who shared her plight.
When the two met at the school gate, they both felt a sense of familiarity when they looked at each other.
"You just came back from my brother's (Ruan Yinchen's) place?"
They both spoke almost simultaneously, and then blushed simultaneously.
Gu Fei: "Um, don't tell my brother about me living with Ruan Yinchen for now!"
Lu Qing asked, puzzled, "Why? Gu Xicheng didn't forbid you from dating Ruan Yinchen."
Gu Fei coughed lightly:
"If he finds out, it will be inconvenient for me to go out and see him in the future."
Given Gu Xicheng's temper, he would definitely stop her and wouldn't give Ruan Yinchen a friendly look.
Lu Qing would never allow Gu Xicheng to do something that allows officials to set fires while forbidding ordinary people from even lighting lamps.
"It's alright, with me here, Gu Xicheng wouldn't dare. If he tries to stop you, I'll move out of his place too."
"Just for what you said, Ruan Yinchen should definitely treat you to a meal!" Gu Fei said with a smile.
