Chapter 393 Unable to Stand
The rain increased.
The wipers were set to the highest gear and swung hard, but they still couldn't keep up with the pouring rain.
The water meandered down along the car window, stained by the dim glow of the street lamps, reflecting tiny, faintly glowing traces of light.
The vehicles on the road ahead slowed down one after another and merged into a hazy river of light and shadow.
She also walked slowly.
Invisibly, the time I spent alone with him lengthened.
Take advantage of the diversion section when the traffic is so congested that cars cannot move.
She glanced sideways quietly.
Gu Zhou closed his eyes, his head resting against the chair pillow, his whole body immersed in the shadows.
Only the side profile was outlined by the occasional light and shadow passed by the window and stained by the rain. The lines appeared more three-dimensional and sharp, revealing a sense of alienation mixed with fatigue, lazy, but aloof.
He drank too much tonight.
A strong smell of alcohol filled the closed compartment.
Strangely, the smell was not offensive.
Finally drove the car into the community basement.
Wang Yuanling just pressed the handbrake and turned around to say that he could get out of the car.
But then I realized that his breathing was particularly gentle, and the relaxed look between his eyebrows clearly showed that he was asleep.
Her eyes paused slightly.
There are two villains weighing the pros and cons in my heart.
Wake him up?
But he slept soundly.
Don't wake him up?
Can't I sleep here all night?
Hesitate for a moment.
She decided to wake him up anyway.
She poked his arm with her fingertips and whispered, "Mr. Gu? We're here."
He kept his eyes and brows tightly closed and did not move at all.
Wang Yuanling poked him again: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu?"
In the dim light from the carriage's ceiling lamp, the usually sharp and intimidating face showed a rare and defenseless calmness.
He was sleeping soundly.
She stared at him for a few seconds, then withdrew her hand, twisting her fingertips unconsciously.
That's all.
She sighed softly, unbuckled her seat belt very slowly, and pushed open the car door lightly. The cold basement air rushed in instantly, diluting the slight smell of alcohol.
Her left foot had already stepped out of the car door, and her right foot was about to step out.
My arm was suddenly grabbed.
The sudden touch startled her.
Turn back immediately.
He remained leaning forward, his half-closed eyes revealing an endless sense of laziness, his voice hoarse and piercing: "Boss Ling, are you planning to abandon me?"
Her eyelashes froze slightly as she hurriedly explained, "No, I saw you were soundly asleep just now, so I wanted to go upstairs to get you a blanket, but it's good that you're awake. You'd better go upstairs and sleep. It's easy to catch a cold sleeping in the car."
Gu Zhou did not loosen his hand, and the burning warmth from his palm came through the thin cardigan, forming a sharp contrast with the coldness that seeped into the basement.
He half-closed his eyes, his sight seemed to be out of focus, but he was still fixed on her face: "Blanket?"
He chuckled softly, his breath even thicker with alcohol: "Boss Ling is as considerate as ever."
The smell of alcohol on him is really unbearable.
Wang Yuanling gently urged, "Boss Gu, hurry upstairs. It's cold in the basement. Don't wait and catch a cold. Can you get up by yourself? Do you need my help?"
Gu Zhou didn't move, his dark eyes lazily looking at her: "I can't really get up."
Wang Yuanling's eyes wandered over his face for a few seconds before agreeing, "Okay, I'll help you."
After she said that, she stared at Gu Zhou without moving.
Gu Zhou was calm and collected: "Didn't you say you would help me?"
Wang Yuanling lowered her head and stared at Gu Zhou's hand holding her arm, and smiled politely: "Then Mr. Gu has to let me go first."
Gu Zhou seemed to have just realized it, loosened his fingers, and let them freeze in mid-air, saying lazily: "Oh, sorry."
She raised her eyes and glanced at his nonchalant expression again.
He got out of the car, walked around the front of the car, walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, bent down and stretched out his hand to Gu Zhou: "Come, Mr. Gu, be careful, I will help you out."
Her fingers were slender and long, and her palms were pink.
Gu Zhou stared, stretched out his hand, and covered it.
Palms touching, warmth passed to each other.
Especially since he held it so tightly, she could even feel the pulsation in his palm.
Her heart was filled with waves, and she tried hard to pull him out.
But Gu Zhou seemed to put all his strength into holding her hand.
As for the strength to get up, I didn't have any at all.
She had no choice but to use both hands to hold his arms and support him to stand up.
My front body unconsciously pressed against his arm.
Very tightly attached.
His mind was full of thoughts of exerting strength, and his expression was strained: "Boss Gu, you should also exert some strength, otherwise I can't pull you up."
Gu Zhou was originally lazy, but when he felt the softness on his arm, he suddenly felt sad.
But she still knows nothing about it.
Another unconscious procrastination.
Gu Zhou felt as hot as a fire cellar.
The black eyes are as dark as a deep pool.
The big hand that was holding her tightly suddenly exerted force.
"Ugh!" She was pulled down by him and fell on his legs unexpectedly.
My heart is pounding.
The dim light from the basement ceiling lamp was now completely blocked by his tall figure, and a thick shadow instantly enveloped her.
She fell completely into his arms. Through the thin clothes, she could clearly feel the scorching heat from his chest and his steady, strong heartbeat, which hit her back again and again.
The strong smell of alcohol mixed with his unique, dry masculine scent was like an invisible net, tightly entangling her and almost suffocating her.
Meeting his deep and meaningful gaze, her eardrums buzzed. The skirt she wore today was thin, and she could feel the hardness of his tense thigh muscles without hesitation.
At that moment, all kinds of messy thoughts flooded into my mind.
Her cheeks burned uncontrollably, spreading all the way to her ears and neck.
She could barely maintain the polite smile on her face: "Boss Gu, what are you doing...?"
As soon as the sound was made, the secret of the trembling was revealed.
Gu Zhou lowered his eyes, his gaze like a deep, still pool, yet sharp enough to penetrate a person's heart, fixed firmly on her cheek and earlobes, which were slightly flushed with panic.
He clearly felt the stiffness and slight trembling of the body in his arms, and that reaction pleased him.
The playful curve of his lips deepened a bit, and his lazy voice carried a hint of malicious ridicule as he apologized without any sincerity: "Sorry, I just slipped and didn't stand firmly, so I pulled Ling down."
What a slippery foot.
He hadn't moved at all just now.
The sudden force he used to pull her down was precise and powerful, with no sign of slippage at all. This man, under the influence of alcohol, was clearly teasing her!
Looking at the playful curve of his lips, she felt a little angry.
There was a sly glint in her watery eyes.
She no longer thought about getting up, relaxed her tense body, and even moved forward slightly, closer to his solid chest.
This sudden approach made the darkness in Gu Zhou's eyes freeze for a moment.
"Mr. Gu."
The dim light blurred her outline, but brought her faint fragrance to his nose.
She lowered her eyelashes and her warm breath brushed against his protruding Adam's apple as she spoke.
Gu Zhou's breathing sank almost imperceptibly, and the color of his eyes, like a deep pool, seemed to become thicker. His gaze fixed on her was filled with a heavy sense of oppression.
He stared at her pretty face, leaning in inch by inch, intentionally.
The moment when the long eyelashes are lifted.
Those watery eyes took away all his will, played with him wantonly, and made him sink deeply into it.
Her voice was soft and thin: "So you can drink..." She paused, and the corners of her eyes were filled with a hint of provocation: "So bad... that I can't even stand steadily."
Gu Zhou's dark eyes narrowed instantly.
