After dumping the poor tycoon, 12
Qi An'an dried her hair, leaned back leisurely on the sofa, and planned to find a movie about couples living together to learn from.
There are many movies on this theme. She glanced at them and found one called "365 Days of Cohabitation," which had a low rating but many reviews.
She glanced at the comments from netizens about "low score protection" and knew there might be something good.
Out of curiosity, she clicked on the link, which redirected her to the movie page.
It's a foreign film. The beginning is quite normal; it's about a young couple going to the supermarket to buy groceries, and then they start getting inappropriate in the kitchen...
As they watched, Xiao Hei's figure disappeared.
It has been blocked.
As she looked, Qi An'an's eyes widened.
No, is this even capable of passing the review?
She doesn't even have a VIP membership!
She was so focused on watching that she didn't even notice someone standing behind her until the scent of shower gel wafted over.
She quickly put down her phone, but it was already too late.
Gu Shi had been standing behind her for an unknown amount of time, and now his gaze was deep and dark, his emotions unreadable.
Qi An'an covered the screen with her lap, but the phone still made a sound.
The music is beautiful, and the rhythm carries a slightly heavy masculine and feminine undertone...
She quickly pressed the lock screen, and the phone finally went silent.
She explained, "I accidentally clicked it."
She never expected the movie to be so explicit!
The male and female leads live together, but they are just friends. Their daily lives are filled with various things that cannot pass censorship.
Gu Shi walked around the sofa and stood in front of her, speaking casually, "You don't need to explain to me, that's your preference."
"no……"
Even the thick-skinned Qi An'an knew shame, but mainly, the position the male and female protagonists had just been in was too shocking for her...
Gu Shi must have seen it too!
"Not what?" Gu Shi seemed to remember something, a familiar mockery appearing in his eyes. "That's right, the male protagonist is skinny and not to your taste?"
"..." Qi An'an was so shocked by the position that she didn't even notice the figures of the male and female protagonists.
But she knew that Gu Shi was bothered by what she had said five years ago...
This is all due to the sins she committed in the past.
She looked up at him and apologized directly, "Gu Shi, I'm sorry, I said those things on purpose to provoke you. You were actually very good that night."
As she finished speaking, her voice became very soft, her gaze shifted erratically elsewhere, and her already radiant cheeks flushed even more.
No one doubts the credibility of her words.
Even Gu Shi could only see sincerity and shyness on her alluring, flushed face.
After a slight pause, Gu Shi felt as if something was blocking his throat, and all the repression and resentment in his heart were completely swept away.
Her seemingly casual words carried a cold, sharp thorn that pierced through all his dignity.
But now, she overturned all her previous statements, using a shy and helpless tone to melt away the hard protective wall in his heart.
It caused the blood in his body to gradually boil.
He looked away, took a deep breath, and calmed his mind.
His tone was still indifferent, but he had already skipped over the topic that was making his head spin, "Qi An'an, you seem to be overthinking it. This isn't what we call cohabitation."
What is that?
"I want to see how far you can go for the Qi family."
Qi An'an lowered her eyelids slightly, and after a long while, she followed his words and said, "My family's affairs are a bit complicated, and they can't be solved with a sum of money. You don't have to help."
His gaze swept over her, growing even more somber. "So, who do you want to ask for help?"
Qi An'an sensed the anger in his voice and was momentarily confused, "..."
No, why are you angry?
He pressed his knees against the sofa, trapping her in his arms, his low pressure enveloping her. "President Chen or President Song?"
Looking at the face so close to hers, Qi An'an softened her voice, "Are you already judging me in your heart? I don't remember any President Chen or President Song. I'm here to resolve the issues between us."
At the mention of this, Gu Shi seemed on the verge of exploding. "Between us, it's already over by you alone, hasn't it?"
Qi An'an seemed to have found some loophole, "Since I can unilaterally say it's over, can't I also unilaterally go back on my word? I don't want it to end."
Gu Shi stared at her, his eyes initially filled with cold mockery, but now revealing a deeper and more unfathomable emotion.
When he was with her, he was always caught in a state of extreme contradiction; beneath his cold and calm exterior lay a secret and mad desire.
Qi An'an's eyes did not waver. Even though she was a little flustered, she knew that this was not the time for her to back down.
Gu Shi had been avoiding her for some time, but with Jiang Si involved tonight, his concern for her seems even more obvious.
She leaned forward slightly, getting closer to him. "Gu Shi, to make up for the mistakes I made when I was young, let me pursue you again. Give me a chance, okay?"
Gu Shi's pupils trembled slightly, but he quickly concealed it.
That's the look in her eyes.
The sky was filled with stars, and she seemed to be able to bestow upon him endless beauty and romance. She would give everything she had to him, and she belonged only to him.
He was initially captivated by that kind of gaze.
He was in a daze at the time. She asked him if they could be together, and he said "okay".
But now, he had already imagined countless responses that could mock and attack her in an instant.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and in the end, he merely lifted his eyelids and gave a casual twitch of the corner of his mouth, "Okay."
But his tone was very cold, and his eyes seemed to be watching her act.
Gu Shi thought to himself, "That doesn't matter."
He treated it like a play.
This time, he's the one who's in control.
He wanted to see how she would pursue him this time.
"Then you can't keep avoiding me. I can't move around freely now, and I hardly see you all day..." she said softly, as if complaining, her voice a little sweet.
Gu Shi denied it, saying, "I didn't hide."
"……oh."
Qi An'an fell silent, and Gu Shi remained silent as well; their posture was somewhat awkward.
Before they knew it, their eyes met.
Neither was willing to back down, and they just stared at each other.
Xiao Hei shouted excitedly from the sidelines, acting as a cheerleader, "We can't lose! Go An An! Go An An!"
"..." Qi An'an snapped out of the scene in a second, and her heart, which had been pounding violently just now, returned to normal.
Her gaze suddenly shifted downwards and landed on his lips.
His lips were beautifully shaped; she remembered they felt very soft when she kissed them.
On a whim, she suddenly asked, "Ah Shi, do you want to... kiss?"
Her voice was slow and deliberate, and with each pause, Gu Shi's heart skipped a beat.
His mouth had been dry ever since she started looking away, and now hearing her words was like a drop of sweet spring water falling on the scorching hot ground, only causing more heat to rise.
He raised his hand to lift her chin, but glanced at her without any expression, and spoke with exceptional clarity, "I have no such thoughts."
Qi An'an simply sighed softly, "Alright, I thought you wanted to too..."
Gu Shi's hand trembled almost imperceptibly before he quickly released her. He stood up from the sofa and scoffed, "You've used this trick before."
Qi An'an suddenly remembered that during their ambiguous period, she coaxed him into playing a staring game, asking him if he wanted to kiss her, and then their lips were swollen from kissing.
They then established a relationship.
But Qi An'an genuinely felt that his lips were very kissable.
What are you thinking about?
Gu Shi suddenly spoke, interrupting Qi An'an's recollection.
She instinctively replied, "I miss our first kiss..."
Gu Shi's eyes were deep and intense, and he felt the air itself become scorching hot.
Qi An'an, oblivious to the heated atmosphere, simply spoke the truth.
"I want to go back to sleep." She looked sleepy, picked herself up from the sofa, and tried to get into her wheelchair.
However, before she could even touch the wheelchair, a pair of hands encircled her waist.
Gu Shi picked her up expressionlessly, frowned and said, "The wheelchair is noisy."
Qi An'an nodded, "...The doctor said I'm recovering very well and I won't need the wheelchair anymore in a few days."
Gu Shi glanced quickly at the person curled up like a quail in his arms and hummed in response.
He was well aware of her rehabilitation progress.
A faint scent of shower gel filled the air between them. Gu Shi's heart fluttered slightly, and the scene from that night seemed to float before his eyes. She walked out of the small bathroom and slowly approached him, carrying the same scent.
He used to hate the smell, but after she moved in, he had her brand of shower gel changed to the one she used before.
He seemed to be accepting the scent again.
Gu Shi walked slowly, his eyes fixed straight ahead, his jawline slightly taut, and his Adam's apple bobbing, exuding an overwhelming sense of hormones.
Qi An'an recalled that this seemed to be the first time Gu Shi had properly carried her in a princess carry.
His arm was hard and gripped her so tightly it hurt. She suspected he was taking his anger out on her on purpose.
She didn't know where to put her hands, so she awkwardly tucked them in in front of her.
Then Gu Shi glanced down at her and inexplicably snorted coldly.
As Xiao Hei flew away, it didn't forget to warn, "There's murderous intent!"
Qi An'an was slightly puzzled. What had she done to offend him?
Her hand didn't even touch him!
To get a little further away from him, she lifted her head, which had been resting on his arm.
Is that alright now?
However, his face became even uglier.
Qi An'an: "..."
Xiao Hei can directly detect Gu Shi's emotions, and it's already far away now.
Gu Shi almost rudely threw Qi An'an onto the bed.
The bed was so soft that Qi An'an didn't feel any pain. She quickly crawled into the covers, her movements so agile that she didn't seem like someone still undergoing rehabilitation.
Gu Shi stood by the bed, still with that dark and cold expression. "You should know that I have no interest in your body."
I just asked him if he wanted to kiss me, and now he's avoiding me.
She was assertive one moment and timid the next, making him even more uncertain about her thoughts and inevitably causing him displeasure.
Qi An'an clutched the blanket, revealing a pair of bright, clear eyes, as always. "I just thought you were angry."
Gu Shi looked at her coldly.
Qi An'an pointed at his face and continued, "You... look really fierce. I've never seen you like this before. I'll get used to it."
Gu Shi: "..."
He lowered his voice, "So, it's my fault?"
She shook her head, her eyelids drooping, her eyes seemingly losing all their light. "I was in the wrong first, you can treat me however you want."
Gu Shi didn't look at her. He stood quietly by the bed and said coldly, "Stop looking so pitiful. You'd better not mention the past."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out.
But after walking a few steps, his voice came back, "Watching that movie won't help you. I don't like cooking in the kitchen; it's unhygienic."
Qi An'an was stunned, "?"
Why did he change the subject so quickly?
After realizing what was happening, she quickly sat up, clutching the blanket, and said to his retreating back, "I don't like it either!"
Gu Shi ignored her and had already left the bedroom, but he could still faintly hear the girl's frustrated muttering, "No, I really just randomly clicked on a movie. Who likes those weird positions? The kitchen is definitely not an option..."
He glanced back, the coldness in his eyes and brows had melted away, but he quickly composed himself again.
As he walked toward the study, he subconsciously glanced around the living room.
The presidential suite was renovated according to his requirements, with the addition of a study and a gym area, but no kitchen.
