Chapter 134 She Must Catch Him
Gu Zhiyuan walked along cursing all the way.
"Chen Xubai, you dead wood!"
"What little antique? It's clearly a stone from a latrine, smelly and hard!"
She was really unlucky today. Not only was she rejected again, but her phone was out of battery. When the driver came, she told him to go back and not pick her up. She had clearly planned to stay at Shen Xubai's place until he got off work and then ask him to take her home.
As a result, he ran away in a rage, getting nothing but anger.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but kick the electric pole on the side of the road, and as a result, her foot was injured.
She is so unlucky.
It's still raining, it's just horrible.
"I don't want to care anymore..."
Before she had made up her mind, she caught a glimpse of a black Bentley parked by the roadside. The window slowly rolled down, and Shen Xubai's handsome face was half hidden in the shadows, his expression unclear, but his voice was gentle: "Miss Gu..."
Gu Zhiyuan was deflated.
"Get in the car, I'll take you home."
Whether it was out of safety or responsibility, he couldn't just watch a little girl walk alone on the street in the middle of the night without doing anything. Moreover, it might be his fault.
Gu Zhiyuan paused and said, "Just because you want me to get in the car, I'll get in."
She refused.
She ignored him and walked forward on her own.
Shen Xubai didn't persuade her anymore, but just asked Luo Yan to follow her slowly, keeping the same speed as her.
Gu Zhiyuan took a few steps and her feet hurt. Her body felt cold and the drizzle fell on her body, making her skin feel cool.
As she walked, she suddenly stopped. A nameless sense of grievance surged in her heart, and her eyes became slightly sore and misty.
She raised her eyes and glared at Shen Xubai fiercely.
But he had no intimidating power, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was being bullied and felt extremely aggrieved.
Shen Xubai pursed his lips slightly: "Luo Yan."
Luo Yan immediately understood, parked the car, walked around to the inside, and opened the back door for Gu Zhiyuan: "Miss Gu, it's raining, please get in the car first."
Gu Zhiyuan sniffed. Why was she picking on him?
If you have a car but don’t ride it, you’re a bastard.
She stopped being stubborn and bent down to sit on it.
Shen Xubai sat by the window on the other side, and she sat on the inside, with no intention of talking to him.
She didn't bring an umbrella and was only wearing a skirt. Her body was wrapped in a layer of damp rain mist. It was easy for her to catch a cold in the chilly spring weather.
Shen Xubai raised his hand and turned up the heat.
Feeling the sudden warmth in the car, she hugged her arms and rubbed them a few times, and her eyes couldn't help but glance towards Shen Xubai.
He was wearing a white shirt with the top button meticulously fastened. Combined with his face, he had a cold and abstinent look that made people dare not intrude.
A high nose bridge, thin lips, a smooth profile, and a slightly rolling Adam's apple half-hidden in the collar of her shirt...
As he watched, Gu Zhiyuan's anger subsided.
She must get the guy, even if that doesn't work, sleeping with him will be fine.
She lowered her eyes and couldn't help but start thinking. He wanted to drive her away just now, so why did he let her get in the car now?
Could it be that he felt so sorry for himself being caught in the rain that he softened his heart?
As if to confirm her thoughts, she hardened her heart and pinched her thigh hard, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
She gasped and hissed, which was very noticeable in the quiet carriage.
Shen Xubai turned his head and just saw a crystal teardrop rolling down and dripping onto Gu Zhiyuan's spread skirt, leaving a small mark.
The little girl was in a disheveled state, her eyes drooping, her crow-feather eyelashes trembling slightly, dangling tears. A few strands of hair, wet from the drizzle, stuck to the sides of her face. Her body was still damp, looking pitiful and fragile.
A faint and suppressed sob sounded in the carriage.
Shen Xubai frowned slightly. He had no experience in dealing with such a delicate girl and even had a headache.
After a long time, Gu Zhiyuan passed a handkerchief into his sight. Looking up, he saw his bony fingers with a cold white complexion, neatly trimmed nails, and a light pink fingertips.
She was stunned.
"Wipe it off."
There was no emotion in Shen Xubai's voice, and he just began to reflect on whether he had said something too harsh that night.
Gu Zhiyuan took his handkerchief, blinked her eyelashes, and spoke in a long, coquettish tone: "My feet hurt."
Shen Xubai's gaze moved downward subconsciously.
Her high heels were carelessly discarded, her bare feet resting on the blanket, her slender, fair calves stretched out beneath her skirt. Her feet were stained with rain and mud, a stark contrast to her delicate, porcelain-white skin, and her ankles were slightly red and swollen.
Realizing his own impoliteness, Shen Xubai withdrew his gaze almost instantly.
He pursed his lips and instructed Luo Yan in the front row, "Send Miss Gu to the hospital."
Gu Zhiyuan: “…”
"I'm not going!"
Shen Xubai: "Are you sure?"
She deliberately stepped on the carpet several times, until the clean and tidy carpet was stained with water. After venting her dissatisfaction in her heart, she whispered, "Just take me home."
Shen Xubai didn't force it.
Luo Yan, who was eating melons in the front row, looked up at the rearview mirror and complained in his heart: Mr. Chen really has no sympathy for women!
If it weren't for his upbringing, he probably wouldn't have cared about Miss Gu.
He sighed secretly. It would be difficult for Miss Gu to impress Mr. Shen.
The carriage fell into silence again.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't say anything, and Shen Xubai didn't say anything either, nor did he pay attention to her.
Until the car stopped in front of Gu's house, Shen Xubai just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Gu Zhiyuan opened the car door and looked back, but Shen Xubai still didn't open his eyes.
She pursed her lips, thanked Luo Yan, opened the door and got out of the car.
Hearing the sound of the car door closing again, Shen Xubai slowly opened his eyes.
Under the dim streetlight at the door, Gu Zhiyuan's back was petite and thin. He waited until she limped into the gate before he slowly said, "Let's go."
The black Bentley turned around and quickly disappeared in the rain and fog.
Gu Zhiyuan turned around, holding the handkerchief that Shen Xubai had just given her, and curled her lips.
Even an iceberg has cracks.
