Chapter 187 Aren’t You Afraid I’ll Drug You?
The tone is serious, yet impeccable.
Gu Zhiyuan: She hates him for being a piece of wood!
She put her hand behind her back, but with her other hand she stubbornly held the basket in front of him: "Are you really not going to consider accepting it?"
"It's tiring to carry it like this."
Shen Xubai lowered his eyes, his gaze gently swept over the bandage on her hand, reached out to take it, and opened his thin lips: "Thank you."
Seeing him accept it, Gu Zhiyuan curled her lips and began to push her further: "Have you had dinner at this time? Why don't we eat together?"
Shen Xubai had just finished exercising and had taken a shower, so he hadn't eaten yet.
Gu Zhiyuan stood on tiptoe to look behind him and asked, "Do you live alone? It's boring to eat alone. Why don't I join you?"
Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions.
Shen Xubai said softly, “It’s not convenient.”
Gu Zhiyuan's eyes widened. Inconvenient? Could there be another woman?
"Well, I'm thirsty. Please invite me in for a glass of water."
She is sure to get in today.
Shen Xubai met her cunning and lively eyes and was at a loss for a moment.
Gu Zhiyuan said in a delicate voice: "Can't you even drink a glass of water? You are too heartless..."
Shen Xubai sighed and stepped aside to make way: "Come in."
Gu Zhiyuan smiled widely, her eyes curved into crescents: "I knew you were the best!"
Then he skipped into the room without any hesitation.
Shen Xubai moved here after taking over the Shen family and has lived here for many years.
Gu Zhiyuan walked in while taking in the furnishings. Outside the door was a lawn with a stone-paved path in the middle.
The living room is spacious and bright, with a grayish hue and cool-toned furniture and ornaments. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the large lawn and swimming pool outside.
Simple and elegant, the same style as his office.
Shen Xubai put the basket on the table, went into the kitchen, and took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator. Just as he was about to help her unscrew it, he remembered what Gu Zhiyuan said last night and paused.
He handed the water to her directly: "There are no drinks or juices at home, only this."
Gu Zhiyuan looked down and didn't answer. He blinked twice and said, "My hand hurts. I can't open it."
Shen Xubai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you not afraid that I will drug you?"
"Hmm?" Gu Zhiyuan looked at him with her big eyes, a trace of confusion flashed across her fair little face.
Then, the memory of the dead began to attack her.
She lowered her eyes and muttered softly, "I wish you could drug me."
"What?" Shen Xubai didn't hear clearly.
Gu Zhiyuan's black, curled eyelashes trembled: "Nothing."
She didn't dare say that.
Shen Xubai unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to her. She lowered her head and drank directly from his hand, then began to tease him with a smile: "It's very sweet."
Her eyes were bright, as if hiding stars, and she did not hide her love at all, but was straightforward and passionate.
Shen Xubai subconsciously avoided her gaze.
"Now that you've finished your water, you should go back."
Gu Zhiyuan didn't expect that he would chase her away as soon as he opened his mouth, so of course she would stay as long as possible.
"I have something else I want to ask you. How did you know which building I lived in last night?"
Shen Xubai: "I asked Luo Yan to check it out. It's not difficult."
There are only a dozen villas in Huazhou Junting. He has lived here for seven or eight years and has a general understanding of the basic situation. It is easy to find out whether they have just moved in or have purchased a new villa.
"Okay." Gu Zhiyuan nodded. This omnipotent assistant sometimes doesn't need to be so dedicated.
"What are you eating for dinner? Do you want to come to my house for dinner? My auntie cooks delicious food."
Shen Xubai: "Don't bother me anymore, thank you for your kindness."
Gu Zhiyuan: "Then I'll eat at your house. I'm sorry to bother you anyway."
Shen Xubai: "..."
Gu Zhiyuan looked at him expectantly, with every little thought written on her face.
Facing that bright face, Shen Xubai almost agreed.
But his mind told him that this was wrong. It was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone.
Shen Xubai's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he said slowly: "It's getting dark, Miss Gu should go back first, otherwise the aunt at home will be worried."
Seeing that he really didn't want to keep her, Gu Zhiyuan lowered her head dejectedly: "Okay."
"Then I'll be leaving first."
Gu Zhiyuan glanced at him, and seeing that he really didn't want to keep her, she left reluctantly.
Her figure gradually disappeared outside the door. Shen Xubai withdrew his gaze. The bottle of water she had just drunk was placed on the table, next to it was the basket of desserts. His eyes paused.
…
Gu Zhiyuan hadn't originally expected Chen Xubai to keep her. Since they lived so close to each other anyway, she could just take it step by step.
She had plenty of time, and she also had two military advisors. Oh no, three.
The next morning, when the alarm clock rang, Gu Zhiyuan pulled the quilt over her head. After two seconds, she sat up suddenly. She had something important to do today.
She quickly got out of bed, even brushing her teeth with her eyes closed. After washing up, she put on some light makeup, tied her hair into a bun, picked out some sportswear, and then took out the dog leash and took Good Luck out.
It was the first time for Hao Yunlai to be pulled up so early. Its owner kept yawning, and it was not in much better condition. Its left foot tripped over its right leg and it couldn't walk in a straight line at all.
There were some people jogging by the lake. Gu Zhiyuan looked around but didn't see Shen Xubai. She found a stool and sat down, ready to wait.
It was just past six o'clock, and her brain was completely unable to think. Good Luck rubbed its short legs against the ground, humming as it climbed onto her legs. Gu Zhiyuan had no choice but to pick it up.
The morning breeze by the lake was still a little chilly, but Good Luck was warm, and Gu Zhiyuan held it in her arms like a heater. Her head nods, and her eyelids droop uncontrollably.
When she woke up, it was already an hour later.
Gu Zhiyuan stretched her stiff neck. How could she fall asleep?
Could it be that Shen Xubai has already finished running and gone home?
She got up and stretched her muscles, then took a stroll along the lake with good luck, but still didn't see anything. Then she went home and fell asleep.
The next day, after getting up early, Gu Zhiyuan learned her lesson. She did not sit there waiting, but walked along the track by the lake holding Haoyunlai's hand.
Although I was very sleepy, at least I didn't fall asleep immediately.
Good Luck sniffed the lawn, touched the dew with its paws, and circled around the little moth. Everything he saw was new to him.
Gu Zhiyuan looked around and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
In front, Shen Xubai was wearing a sports suit, standing next to a bench, drinking water with his head tilted back.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately squatted down, picked up Good Luck, looked into its eyes and said, "Good Luck, whether Mommy can catch Daddy depends on you."
"You see that man in front of you? The most handsome one. Run forward and stick to him."
Good Luck hummed twice and turned to look at Gu Zhiyuan.
Gu Zhiyuan patted its butt: "Be good, go quickly."
Good Luck hesitated for two seconds, then stepped forward with his short legs. When he went down the stairs, he rolled down directly.
Gu Zhiyuan was startled and just as he was about to get up, he saw it roll twice on the flat ground, then get up and go towards Shen Xubai.
She squatted back down.
Shen Xubai rested for a while and was about to go back when he suddenly felt a slight pulling sensation on his trouser leg. He lowered his head and saw a puppy biting his trouser leg, making a whining sound.
The puppy's fur is snow-white, with a little brown around its ears. It is very clean and has a leash on it, so it must have an owner.
Shen Xubai looked around but saw no one.
Just as he was about to pull his legs free, the puppy grabbed him with its two front paws and hung on his legs.
Shen Xubai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he squatted down to look at it: "Where is your master?"
The puppy whimpered twice and hugged him tightly.
This rogue spirit made Shen Xubai think of Gu Zhiyuan inexplicably.
The photo she showed him that night flashed through his mind, and it seemed that the puppy she raised was the same.
"Good luck..."
Suddenly, a sweet female voice came from behind him. The puppy that had been biting his trouser leg suddenly let go, barked twice, and ran towards the direction of the person coming.
"Why are you here?" Gu Zhiyuan picked up Good Luck and looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Chen Xubai..."
"Is this your dog?"
"Yeah, isn't it cute?"
Shen Xubai looked at the rope in her hand and opened his thin lips slightly: "Did it just get lost?"
Gu Zhiyuan felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye: "I didn't keep an eye on it just now. I didn't expect it to run to you. It's quite fate, haha..."
Shen Xubai raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a half-smile: "This little dog is quite human."
