After dumping the poor tycoon, 15
With a "click," Gu Shi easily fastened the seatbelt.
He stepped back, his expression unchanged, his eyes showing no emotion, as if he had just done it on a whim.
Qi An'an pressed herself tightly against the car seat, her cheeks flushed, and glanced at him. "Thank you."
Before she could say anything more, Qi Ning's figure suddenly appeared outside the car window.
Gu Shi's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Qi An'an didn't notice. She rolled down the car window, leaned out, and asked, "A-Ning, what's wrong?"
Qi Ning handed over a small black bag. "Sister, you left your bag behind."
“Oh right.” Qi An’an caught it in her arms.
"Be careful on the road."
Qi Ning smiled and turned his gaze to the driver's seat, where he met Gu Shi's calm and deep eyes. He then said, "Mr. Gu, I'm entrusting my sister to you."
Gu Shi ignored him completely, calmly turning his gaze away and closing the car door.
At the same time, Qi An'an could clearly feel the low pressure around him.
After the car had driven some distance, Qi Ning's figure disappeared from the rearview mirror. She looked away, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
Qi Ning is a bit strange.
She looked at Gu Shi's profile and asked, "What's wrong?"
He clearly disliked Qi Ning, even to the point of loathing and being wary of her.
However, his attitude towards Qi Dong was also very bad.
Gu Shi replied directly, "Try to have less contact with him."
"Why? He's my brother."
"Because I don't like it."
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense.
The girl seemed confused as to why he was acting this way, and she kept looking at him expectantly. Without receiving much explanation from him, her head drooped slightly.
Gu Shi didn't look at her, but he caught all her little movements out of the corner of his eye.
He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his brows furrowed slightly, his attitude unyielding, his expression even colder.
Neither of them spoke a word the rest of the way.
Qi An'an considered Gu Shi's attitude just now. He wasn't jealous; it seemed more like he was wary of Qi Ning.
She asked Xiao Hei in her heart: [Where is A Ning's biological mother? Has she ever met Qi Ning?]
Xiao Hei: "She and Qi Ning are characters outside the main storyline... We need to investigate them slowly."
Qi An'an: [Then you should go and investigate right away.]
Little Black lazily lay down on her lap, saying, "An'an, go."
Qi An'an: ?
She reached out and flicked it mercilessly.
Little Black was bounced onto the windshield with a thud.
Gu Shi glanced over and finally broke the silence in the car, "Are there mosquitoes?"
Qi An'an nodded, withdrew her mischievous hand, then slapped her right cheek, saying with a slightly aggrieved expression, "Ugh, such a big mosquito, it kept biting me."
It was a red light, so Gu Shi stopped the car and turned to face her.
"Let me see."
"..."
Qi An'an cried out in her heart, "Little Black! Little Black! Quickly give me a few mosquito bites!"
The fact that Xiao Hei can repair her body means that its body-modifying function is still intact. It can modify a wide range of things, including reducing the five senses and adjusting her appearance and voice. Right now, all she wants is for it to create a mosquito bite.
Little Black, hanging listlessly on the aromatherapy bottle, muttered dejectedly, "Okay, okay, now you remember me..."
In those brief two seconds, Gu Shi had already grabbed Qi An'an's chin and turned her face towards him.
After she lowered her hand, two red and swollen mosquito bites were revealed on her fair skin.
How venomous must this mosquito be to bite such a big welt?
Qi An'an couldn't see her own face or the mosquito bites, but her cheeks were indeed a little itchy.
Is it serious?
She was about to scratch him when he grabbed her wrist.
His hands have always been somewhat rough, and even after so many years and he has climbed to a high position, the feeling his hands gave her remained unchanged.
When it lands on her skin, it can easily send shivers down her spine.
"Don't scratch."
"But it itches..."
The tingling sensation her soft voice created in Gu Shi's heart was truly undeniable.
The car horn sounded urging from behind, and Gu Shicai let go of her, stepped on the gas, and said, "You can't scratch her."
Qi An'an really did behave and didn't scratch.
She flipped the mirror down to look at her cheeks and saw two large bumps, but they only looked scary; she didn't feel particularly uncomfortable.
Xiao Hei's purpose has been put to good use.
She asked Gu Shi pitifully, "Ah Shi, my face is swollen, can I go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine?"
"Um."
At the next intersection, Gu Shi drove around to the end of the road before parking his car on the side of the road.
Qi An'an didn't notice at first, until she got out of the car and saw the vegetable market not far away...
Damn, this is near Rongcheng University, and Gu Shi's old rented house is not far away.
Five years have passed, and little has changed in this area. For her, accompanying Gu Shi to the market feels like it was just yesterday...
After Gu Shi got out of the car, his deep, unfathomable eyes fixed on her, and he said expressionlessly, "You should remember where the pharmacy is."
She looked up at him, opened her mouth slightly, but didn't say anything. She just nodded and jogged forward.
Gu Shi's gaze followed that slender figure, feeling as if something was blocking his chest, making him feel sore and unable to breathe.
When she first pursued him, he never thought about having a future with her.
But she still gradually eroded his heart and his life, making him yearn for more.
He was burning up and lost consciousness in his rented room. She came over and broke the lock.
He always remembered her red eyes and her slightly cool embrace.
He refused to go to the hospital, so she climbed eight flights of stairs to buy him medicine and porridge.
The young lady, dressed in designer brands, looked even more haggard than him. She stayed by his bedside all night, and the next day, as usual, she confessed her feelings to him, telling him that with her by his side, he wouldn't be afraid of getting sick.
After that, she began to take root forcefully in his heart.
She clearly loved him so much...
Gu Shi felt a mix of emotions: anger, nostalgia, resentment, and longing...
Finally, he simply lowered his voice and said to the retreating figure, "Why are you running? Trying to break a bone?"
Qi An'an turned around and looked over. Her long hair was blown by the wind, obscuring her face, but her dark almond-shaped eyes were still bright and unforgettable, just like the moment when she loved him the most.
She slowed her pace and said to him, "Ah Shi, the snail rice noodle shop next to the pharmacy is still there. Do you want to eat there?"
Gu Shi then lifted his foot and walked past her, uttering two words, "I don't want to."
The tone was somewhat like a child refusing a piece of candy that's already in their mouth after arguing with their parents.
Qi An'an smiled slightly at this thought and slowly followed his steps, "Then let's come and eat again next time."
Gu Shi did not respond.
The two entered the pharmacy one after the other.
Gu Shi picked up a box of erythromycin ointment. After paying, he didn't see Qi An'an anywhere, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
He was about to step out of the pharmacy when he suddenly heard her voice coming from behind the shelf.
"Ah Shi, have you found the medicine?"
Upon hearing this, he suddenly turned around, and his heart, which had been clenched in pain, calmed down.
He walked quickly back to the middle of the two rows of shelves and sure enough, he saw her squatting on the ground.
She looked up and saw him holding a box of cold medicine. She asked him, "Shall we buy some cold medicine? A lot of people are sick lately..."
Seeing his cold expression, her voice gradually lowered.
She put the medicine back, got up and came to him, her tone somewhat cautious, as if afraid of upsetting him.
"Let's not buy it anymore, shall we go back?"
Gu Shi suppressed the anxiety that seemed to be bursting through his body and said, "No rush, just pick a few boxes if you want to buy them."
Qi An'an wasn't really in a position to buy it, and just as she was about to shake her head, she heard Xiao Hei excitedly remind her, "Task progress +5%!"
Okay~
So she smiled, squatted down again, and picked up the box of cold medicine.
Gu Shi didn't leave either; he just stood there.
The medicine box in his hand was slightly deformed from being squeezed. He slowly opened it, his lowered eyelashes concealing the undercurrents surging in his eyes.
In her presence, he always became unlike himself; that feeling of gain and loss was like a large net with sharp thorns, binding him tightly.
At that moment, he was absolutely certain that he would never give her another chance to leave him.
"Qi An'an." His voice was deep and magnetic.
When he looked at Qi An'an again, his eyes were calm and deep, like a dangerous deep sea that could devour everything.
"Um?"
Qi An'an met his eyes and her heart skipped a beat.
Gu Shi squatted down beside her, resting his hand holding the ointment on his knee, and used his other hand to turn her face towards him. "Apply the ointment."
"Mmm." She obediently raised her chin and brought her face closer.
The lights in the pharmacy were dim. The two people were very close between the two rows of shelves, and the smell of herbs floating in the air seemed to have taken on an ambiguous atmosphere.
The young pharmacy employee walked around the counter, glanced at the pharmacy, and then left with a blush on his face.
What good luck she had today, running into such a good-looking couple!
The girl only had two mosquito bites, but the guy was so worried he came to buy medicine!
He seemed quite anxious when he couldn't find a girlfriend.
I love him so much! I'm totally shipping him!
"Are you done?"
Perhaps it was because of the medicine, but Qi An'an felt that the mosquito bites, which hadn't bothered her before, suddenly became very itchy, especially when his fingertips touched them...
Gu Shi squeezed out another dollop of ointment and said seriously, "Don't move."
Qi An'an remained still, her lips slightly pursed.
Now it's not just mosquito bites that are red; her entire face is covered in an alluring blush.
She stared at the second button of his shirt, then at his Adam's apple, and finally at his lips...
She knew that there was some element of deliberate intent behind his actions.
He definitely wasn't trying to take advantage of her; he was flirting with her.
"Ah Shi." She swallowed, feeling a little thirsty. "I want to..."
"I don't want to." After refusing, Gu Shi's gaze unconsciously fell on her slightly parted lips, as delicate and tender as peach blossoms in spring.
She could feel the heat in his eyes, but pretended not to notice and continued talking, "But I'm thirsty and want some water. Do you have any in your car?"
Gu Shi paused for a moment, then said, "...Yes."
He misunderstood.
