On the other side.
Shen Zhixia found a job as a Chinese language teacher at Nancheng Elementary School.
Today is my first day at work.
She had just stepped outside when she saw Gu Tingzhou standing at her door waiting for her.
He leaned against the bicycle, his hands in his pockets.
When Shen Zhixia saw him, she pretended not to see him and quickly walked away with her bag slung over her shoulder.
Seeing this, Gu Tingzhou quickly chased after her, "Zhixia, let me take you."
"Need not."
Shen Zhixia walked quickly, completely ignoring him.
Gu Tingzhou had no choice but to hurry back, mount his old bicycle, and catch up.
Shen Zhixia walked beside him, while Gu Tingzhou rode beside her.
"Zhixia, come on up. I'll help you."
"unnecessary."
Shen Zhixia walked quickly, so Gu Tingzhou had no choice but to get out of the car and push it alongside her.
Shen Zhixia was a little angry. "Gu Tingzhou, why are you bothering me again? I've already said we're over."
"No. There was some misunderstanding before, Zhixia. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
"You don't need to beg me to forgive you. We've never had a relationship before, and we won't have one in the future."
Shen Zhixia quickened her pace.
“Who says it doesn’t matter? Shen Zhixia, I like you.” Gu Tingzhou quickly chased after her.
"What do you mean, 'like'? You like Song Ning, not me."
Shen Zhixia stopped and looked at him with righteous indignation.
Gu Tingzhou was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was happening.
"What I felt for Song Ning was love, but that's in the past. I'm now certain that the person I love is you."
Shen Zhixia looked up at his sincere eyes, which didn't seem to be an act.
But she didn't intend to forgive him just like that.
"Whatever."
Shen Zhixia saw that Nancheng Central Primary School was right in front of her, so she turned directly in.
Gu Tingzhou was stopped outside by the security guard.
He could only watch as she went inside.
He sighed.
It seems his romantic life is destined to be anything but smooth.
No one noticed at that moment.
Behind a large tree in the distance, a man wearing sunglasses and with scars on his face was staring at Gu Tingzhou with a fierce look.
This man was Qin Liu, a notorious local thug who had been sent to the police station by Gu Tingzhou for robbery.
Because his underlings took the blame, Qin Liu was eventually released after only a few months in jail due to insufficient evidence.
He watched Gu Tingzhou escort the girl home from school and could tell at a glance that she was his girlfriend.
Qin Liu clenched his fists, his eyes turning cold as he thought, "Gu Tingzhou, I will make you pay the price."
He wanted to take revenge.
For the next few days, Gu Tingzhou picked up and dropped off Shen Zhixia from work every day.
Every morning, before the morning mist has dissipated, Gu Tingzhou's bicycle bell rings precisely in front of Shen Zhixia's house.
He always kept the car sparkling clean and even thoughtfully placed a cushion on the back seat, waiting to take Shen Zhixia to work.
Under the old locust tree surrounding Shen Zhixia's house, there always gathered a few gossipy women.
Gu Tingzhou would always greet them with a smile, "Aunties, ladies, good morning."
The older women greeted him with smiles, "Director Gu, you're here again! You're so devoted!"
Every day when Shen Zhixia went out, she would see Gu Tingzhou. Every time, she would scold him, "Why are you here again?"
Gu Tingzhou always smiled and said, "I'll take you to work."
"Who needs you to deliver it?"
Shen Zhixia always had a cold demeanor, ignoring him and refusing to ride in his car.
Gu Tingzhou silently pushed the cart and followed half a step behind her.
Shen Zhixia completely ignored him.
He pushed his bicycle and stayed by her side.
Although the two of them remained silent the entire way.
However, Gu Tingzhou believed that as long as he persisted, he would definitely be able to move her.
That day, as usual, Shen Zhixia stood at the door after getting off work.
Suddenly, I realized I couldn't see Gu Tingzhou.
She felt something was off, but assumed that Gu Tingzhou had given up.
She then went home alone.
As a result, while passing through an alley...
Suddenly, a dark figure darted out from the alley and covered her mouth.
Shen Zhixia screamed in terror, but the man pressed a knife against her back.
"Don't speak, or I'll stab you if you call for help again!"
Shen Zhixia had no choice but to stop making a sound.
"Are you Gu Tingzhou's girlfriend?" Qin Liu threatened.
"I am not."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixia wondered to herself, "Could this person be after Gu Tingzhou?"
Good grief, they're after Gu Tingzhou, why drag her into this?
"Nonsense, I saw him pick you up and drop you off at get off work every day."
"But I didn't agree to be his girlfriend. I'm not his girlfriend."
Even if that's not the case, you still hold a significant place in his heart, and that's enough.
"No, he doesn't like me at all." Shen Zhixia prepared to outsmart him. "To be honest, we just broke up. He doesn't love me. Even if you tie me up, he won't come to save me."
"Then tell me, who does he love?"
"Song Ning, Huo Beian's wife. You didn't know, did you? A few days ago, the two of them got into a fight over Song Ning. It was really intense."
Shen Zhixia thought that Huo Beian had always been by Song Ning's side and was also a skilled military officer. Even if the criminals wanted to capture her, they would definitely not be able to beat Huo Beian.
So, let's put it this way: let's get out of danger first.
Although it's not very ethical to say it like that, in this emergency, she had no other choice but to say it to protect herself.
