Chapter 97: Adults Must Be Shy

No one had touched the book, and it still remained in the same state where Gu Zhiyan had placed it on the coffee table last night.

But, the book seems to be upside down?

So what did Gu Zhiyan sit here for half a day last night and watch?

Jian Yao tried to pick up the book and took a look at it. She was a student majoring in foreign languages ​​and it was difficult for her to read even though she had an IELTS score of 8.

Jian Yao: …

She doesn't understand the world of the God of Learning.

Jian Yao carefully put the book back, picked up the mobile phone beside her, and started sending messages to Xu Si.

"I tried it last night and it seems like he still has feelings for girls."

Although it's not certain whether he likes men, he is at least bisexual.

She recalled Gu Zhiyan’s two previous “scandalous boyfriends”, Assistant Xu and Pei Yi.

It feels like the way they both interact with Gu Zhiyan is quite normal, and they have no hostility or jealousy towards her at all.

Even during the truth or dare game that night, Pei Yi seemed to be teasing and assisting her and Gu Zhiyan.

Not to mention Assistant Xu.

The day she went to deliver food to Gu Zhiyan, he came downstairs in person to pick her up, and his face almost broke from smiling.

Seeing her immediately explain why Gu Zhiyan couldn't be contacted, her face was full of desire to survive and she looked like she was worried about her buddy.

If Assistant Xu, Pei Yi and Gu Zhiyan were not innocent, they would not have this attitude.

She had experienced many things with Liu Yiyi, such as strange atmosphere at gatherings and being deliberately made difficult when giving gifts.

When she gets angry, she seems unreasonable, petty, and even more aggressive when she doesn't care about the other person. Although they seem to be trivial matters, they are extremely detrimental to people's mentality.

Therefore, thanks to Liu Yiyi's encouragement over the years, she has become particularly sensitive to her love rivals.

Known: Gu Zhiyan is not averse to girls (at least her), and he does not have any unusually ambiguous same-sex friends around him.

Answer: He likes girls, but whether he likes the same sex remains to be seen.

At this point, Xu Si was probably on his way to work and hadn't replied yet.

Jian Yao waited for a few seconds, threw down her phone and went to wash up.

In the bathroom, Gu Zhiyan had already prepared the water and toothpaste for her.

While brushing her teeth, Jian Yao looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly remembered something.

She was only concerned with confirming her own feelings and Zhiyan's sexual orientation, and seemed to have overlooked something extremely important.

Gu Zhiyan, will you like her?

It’s not that Jian Yao is narcissistic, she was actually quite famous when she was in school.

Especially in high school.

Because she is not only a transfer student, but also the real daughter who was lost for many years and was found in a popular online article.

At that time, although she and Lu Chengze were not together, everyone knew that she followed Lu Chengze all day long.

When they were in college, they were in the same school.

It can be said that Gu Zhiyan, to some extent, was one of the witnesses of her and Lu Chengze's entanglement for many years.

Jian Yao couldn't help but slap his forehead.

Oh my god!

She now truly understands what it means to date an ex who is not presentable, just like having a criminal record.

Thinking of Lu Chengze early in the morning, Jian Yao's good mood was instantly dampened.

She quickly washed up, went out listlessly and picked up her cell phone.

In just a short while, Xu Si had already sent messages for several days.

"!!!"

"You tried? How did you try?"

"Did you see it? Did you touch it? Or did you sleep with it?"

Jian Yao felt a little embarrassed when he saw the message sent by Xu Si.

Xu Si's speech was as straightforward as ever...

Perhaps because she didn't respond for a long time, Xu Si simply called her.

Jian Yao pressed the answer button weakly.

Xu Si said in a full voice, "If you confess, you will be treated leniently; if you resist, you will be treated severely."

"Tell me, how did you know that?"

Jian Yao recalled her experience last night, "I pretended to be asleep and rolled over to him, and then he hugged me."

Xu Si: "And then? And then?"

Jian Yao threw herself on the bed with her phone in hand and buried her face in the quilt. Her voice came through the quilt, a little buzzing. "Then I fell asleep."

Xu Si almost sneered at Jian Yao, "That's it?"

Jian Yao nodded, "Yeah."

After the initial excitement, Xu Si finally realized that Jian Yao had emotional problems. "It's already been confirmed that he likes girls, why are you still so depressed?"

Jian Yao tilted her head and pulled her face out from under the quilt. "He knows that I've been with Lu Chengze for so long, he must be concerned, right?"

Maybe he got engaged to her and married her because she had a first love of more than ten years, and it would be easier to deal with the divorce without any entanglement.

Jian Yao felt that she had a miserable life. She had just been heartbroken before she even started dating.

Xu Si's mouth twitched uncontrollably on the other side of the phone, "He hugged you, which means he still has feelings for you."

"Go after him! If you can catch a man like Gu Zhiyan, you'll be lucky!"

Xu Si used all her life's knowledge to deceive Jian Yao, "Look, if you catch her, you can get both the man and the money. If you can't catch her, the worst that can happen is that you will be embarrassed for two days. What else can you do?"

"With the smallest risk and the biggest profit, this business is a sure win!"

Jian Yao felt that what Xu Si said made sense.

"So what do you think, is there a high chance that I can catch up with him?"

Xu Si's inner thoughts: What if you two are husband and wife? Even the problems are the same.

"Big! Very big! When a girl chases a boy, it's just a thin veil between them!"

Xu Si's eyes rolled and he began to give Jian Yao some advice.

"Gu Zhiyan is a well-behaved boy who has been brought up very strictly, so you can't be impatient. You need to take your time. If you have nothing to do, just send him flowers, have a meal with him, or listen to a concert. That's all."

Xu Si passed through a cluster of flowers without getting a single leaf on him.

The ancestor of love.

Jian Yao believed in her "experience talk" and said, "Okay, I understand."

…

When Gu Zhiyan left Gu Garden in the morning, he could almost be described as fleeing in panic.

He almost didn't sleep the whole night last night because he held Jian Yao in his arms. When he came to the company in the morning, there was still a hint of gray in his eyes.

I forced myself to concentrate and finish the more important tasks at hand. I couldn't help but press my forehead and prepared to go to the lounge to take a rest.

The phone on the desk buzzed and a message popped up.

He pressed his eyebrows, picked up his phone and opened it.

When he saw that the message was not sent by Jian Yao, a barely visible trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

Then, he clicked on Xu Si’s message box.

"You can add a little more code."

Afraid that Gu Zhiyan didn't understand her hint, she added, "Create some physical contact appropriately."

"We are all adults now, so let's not be so pure in love."

Adults are supposed to be timid!

Gu Zhiyan thought of last night, his eyes were deep, his slender fingers holding the phone, his knuckles slightly white.

“Is it too fast?”

Jian Yao was obviously a very conservative person, and he was afraid of scaring her and losing more than he gained.

Xu Si secretly gritted his teeth, wishing he could take Gu Zhiyan's place, "Haven't you seen the last example of pure love?"

Before I even got to kiss him, my fiancée ran away.
