Chapter 15 Absurd Ideas
Xiao Peiyin caught up with Gu Cunxi and reached out to support her. Seeing that Gu Cunxi didn't resist or say anything, Xiao Peiyin accompanied her all the way. Perhaps her body had reached its limit, she stopped and looked at the person next to her and said, "Peiyin, can you take me home? I... can't hold on any longer!"
This was the first time that Gu Cunxi was not pretending in front of her, and Xiao Peiyin saw her vulnerability clearly.
"Okay, let's go home!" She clenched her arms, held Gu Cunxi in her arms, and stopped a car on the side of the road.
Along the way, Xiao Peiyin asked the driver to drive slowly and smoothly. She hugged Gu Cunxi tightly and let her lean on her shoulders. Gu Cunxi raised his hand and hugged her back.
This response made Xiao Peiyin's body stiffen instantly, and she stayed where she was.
It smells so good... Xiao Peiyin let Gu Cunxi hug her back, she retracted her arms and hugged her tighter...
What just happened at the company gate was heartbreaking. Xiao Peiyin finally understood a little. Why did Gu Cunxi, who was clearly capable, choose to be a receptionist? Why did she feel so painful and terrified when she heard about Zhang Qiming's appointment? It turned out that she had endured so much in her heart!
She looked down at the person leaning on her, her eyes full of pity. In a blink of an eye, the car stopped downstairs of Gu Cunxi's house. She woke her up softly, paid the fare in a hurry, and helped Gu Cunxi upstairs.
She is very thin! Xiao Peiyin can't even feel her weight when she supports her.
The two of them stumbled up to the fifth floor. Xiao Peiyin fumbled for the key from her body, gently opened the door, and helped Gu Cunxi to the bedroom and lay down. Xiao Peiyin gently brushed the hair on her forehead and said, "Don't go to sleep yet. I'll make some ginger soup. Drink it before you go to sleep!"
After saying that, Xiao Peiyin turned around and hurried into the kitchen. Gu Cunxi was lying on the bed, feeling dizzy and nauseous. She sat up with difficulty, and the urge to vomit became stronger.
Feeling dizzy... Gu Cunxi felt a churning sensation in her stomach. She stood up and stumbled towards the bathroom. Her vision was blurry and she felt groggy. She accidentally bumped her shoulder against the wall and lost her balance, falling to the ground in the doorway. Xiao Peiyin heard the noise and hurried out of the kitchen. Seeing Gu Cunxi lying on the ground, she quickly ran over to help her up. She said with a distressed and complaining tone, "I told you to stay in bed. Why did you get up? Are you hurt?"
Gu Cunxi rushed to the bathroom to vomit without saying anything more. Xiao Peiyin walked over quickly and gently tapped her back.
"Are you feeling very nauseous? Does vomiting make you feel better? I'll take you to the hospital, okay? Don't make me worry anymore!"
Gu Cunxi was gasping for breath after vomiting, and he slumped down beside the toilet, shaking his head and waving his hands: "I'm just a little carsick, don't worry, I'll be fine after a good sleep!"
She forced a smile, sat for a while and stood up to rinse her mouth. Xiao Peiyin helped her back to the bedroom, turned around and got ginger soup from the kitchen and placed it next to the bed.
"It's a little hot. Let it cool down for a while. Drink some ginger soup to help you sweat. Get some good sleep first!"
After saying that, Xiao Peiyin stood up and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Gu Cunxi reached out and held her back, saying, "Don't go! Can you stay with me for a while?"
"I'm not leaving, I'm staying here!"
"Yeah!" Gu Cunxi closed her eyes in peace. Xiao Peiyin sat beside the bed, looking at her cheeks flushed by the high fever, and the swollen wound at the corner of her mouth, which was particularly obvious on Gu Cunxi's beautiful face. She looked so fragile and haggard that people couldn't help but want to love her.
"Why do you...occupy my thoughts and control my emotions?"
A faint whisper was heard, but Xiao Peiyin could still hear it clearly. She was stunned for a moment, feeling strangely uncomfortable. She didn't know who she was thinking about when she said this...
"I'm sorry!" Gu Cunxi frowned and murmured, a tear falling from the corner of his eye.
Xiao Peiyin saw it all and reached out to wipe away the tears from her cheeks. As if in response, but also as if talking to herself, she said, "Is there someone... occupying your thoughts?"
After waiting for a long time without hearing Gu Cunxi mutter anything, Xiao Peiyin thought she must have fallen asleep. Looking at her flushed face, Xiao Peiyin felt the temperature of her forehead and planned to get up and get a towel to help her cool down physically. But before she could stand up, her right hand was grabbed, and the hot touch instantly burned into her heart!
"Xiao Peiyin..." Gu Cunxi held her hand, rubbed his fingertips, closed his eyes and whispered softly
“!”
"I'm not being... intentionally cold, it's just that I'm... afraid... of falling in love! I shouldn't... and can't!!"
Xiao Peiyin was stunned on the spot, her hand trembling uncontrollably. She seemed to understand, but she didn't dare to guess. Her heartbeat began to accelerate. Like intuition, or perhaps an illusion, she felt that these words were spoken by Gu Cunxi to her! But she didn't understand what kind of true feelings she was referring to...
After a while, her even breathing sounded in the bedroom
She fell asleep! Looking at Gu Cunxi's sleeping face, Xiao Peiyin felt relieved...
She is really beautiful! People can't help but want to take a few more glances. Looking at the corner of Gu Cunxi's mouth, she felt depressed. Xiao Peiyin hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand and gently touched her lips, rubbing them gently.
Soft...
When she thought that all these injuries were caused by Xin Hai... she felt resentment towards this man whom she had only met twice!
Thinking of this, Xiao Peiyin stood up, picked up his phone, opened the browser, and searched for Gu Cunxi's name in the engine.
Sure enough! It’s recorded!
She clicked on a link to get the content inside. While waiting for the page to refresh, Xiao Peiyin felt tormented and anxious. She didn't know what kind of past Gu Cunxi would be brought by the upcoming text. She watched the browser's reading bar reach the end, and the news page slowly appeared in front of her. Her overly nervous hands began to tremble. She was afraid to read the text above, but she really wanted to know about Gu Cunxi's past. After a lot of inner struggle, she took a deep breath, picked up her phone and started reading.
"In May 2015, Gu Cunxi, Director of Planning at Huahai Group, used inferior materials to build a platform for the event for personal gain during an event with the HDKL brand. On the day of the event, an accident occurred at the site, and the elevated platform collapsed during the event. Several workers fell from a height and died on the spot. Over 20 people were injured, both minor and serious. Following the accident, Gu Cunxi was apprehended by the police. An investigation revealed that Gu Cunxi, seeking personal gain, colluded with construction workers, cut corners, and produced substandard construction materials, resulting in numerous casualties and endangering public safety. This was an extremely serious incident. Following the incident, Huahai Group launched an internal investigation into Gu Cunxi, which revealed that he had embezzled over 2.3 million yuan in public funds from the event. Subsequently, Huahai Group held a press conference, announcing the removal of Gu Cunxi from all his positions within the group and charging him with embezzlement. The families of the deceased and injured are now suing him for manslaughter, and many of the victims' families have gathered and unfurled a banner in front of the Huahai Group!"
The article only ended here and did not continue recording. Xiao Peiyin searched for a long time but could not find the conclusion of the subsequent judgment and the incident. She looked at her phone and trembled unconsciously. She was so distressed that she could not breathe.
It turns out that hidden under her calm and indifferent appearance, there is such a broken past! Xiao Peiyin looked at her quietly, stood up and kissed Gu Cunxi on the forehead! She didn't know why she did this, but it seemed that there was a voice in her heart driving her to do this. It was an uncontrollable behavior and there was no rational way to do it.
If it weren't for all this, she would probably be the vice president of Huahai Group now. What a brilliant life she would have led...
Xiao Peiyin recalled the first time she met Gu Cunxi. She was calm and composed, with a cold air. She didn't know how she had endured those days to get here!
There are such extreme men who really want to destroy something because they can't get it! Xiao Peiyin was secretly heartbroken. She saw that Gu Cunxi's forehead was covered with sweat. Her heart tightened and she frowned slightly. She pulled back the quilt and found that her clothes were soaked.
It’s good to sweat so much... It’s good to sweat! Xiao Peiyin wanted to change her wet clothes. She got up and walked to the closet to find a set of pajamas. She lifted the quilt, helped Gu Cunxi up and raised her hand to unbutton her shirt. Following her line of sight, she saw Gu Cunxi’s beautiful neck and obvious collarbone.
Gu Cunxi seemed to feel the stickiness and coldness of the clothes sticking to his body. He hummed softly and his face flushed slightly. Xiao Peiyin looked at Gu Cunxi like this and felt inexplicably nervous. Her breathing became rapid. She hesitated to continue unbuttoning the remaining buttons.
"It's so cold..." Gu Cunxi murmured softly, unbuttoned his chest with his hands, and pulled it open.
“!!”
Xiao Peiyin was so shocked by the scene before her that she almost fainted. Her heartbeat felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. She froze in place for a moment, forgetting what she was going to do. She didn't dare look directly at Gu Cunxi, but she couldn't help but want to admire him...
Although they are all women! But... Gu Cunxi's figure is so good that people envy her. She can't take her eyes off it! Xiao Peiyin felt her breathing become more and more rapid, and a terrible and absurd thought flashed through her mind.
Want to kiss her...
Her body stiffened under these thoughts, and apart from breathing, it felt as if she couldn't move at all. Xiao Peiyin shook her head hard, forcing herself not to think about it. She was just changing her clothes, and she shouldn't have any other thoughts. They were all women!
Xiao Peiyin stretched out her hand and slowly and tremblingly unbuttoned the last button, letting Gu Cunxi lean against her and taking off her shirt.
The warmth of her skin was transmitted to Xiao Peiyin through her clothes, causing her to lick her lips subconsciously.
Suddenly, she saw a new wound on Gu Cunxi's shoulder. She recalled that it was probably caused by the fall. She stood up and covered Gu Cunxi with a blanket. She walked out of the bedroom to look for iodine and gauze. She wondered if her family had these.
After a long time, Xiao Peiyin found the medicine box in the cabinet beside the bed.
Fortunately, the usual supplies were all there! Xiao Peiyin carefully wiped Gu Cunxi's wound with iodine. She wondered if she'd accidentally hurt her, but Gu Cunxi groaned softly and frowned! Xiao Peiyin watched as her heart ached again and again, a dense, sore, and swollen feeling. Her movements were gentle, fearing to hurt Gu Cunxi. After applying the medicine, she applied a small piece of gauze. Seeing Gu Cunxi so disheveled, she couldn't help but want to hug her...
I can’t think about it anymore!! Xiao Peiyin tried her best to control her thoughts and put on her pajamas.
Pants... are also wet! Xiao Peiyin stood there, closed her eyes like she accepted her fate, took a deep breath, and took off her outer pants. The slender and straight legs made her unable to look away again. Her cheeks were slightly hot. Xiao Peiyin quickly picked up the pajamas and put them on her.
After changing her clothes, beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead. After calming down, she recalled her actions and thoughts just now, and felt inexplicably uneasy. How could she have such thoughts... It was terrible! !
She's married with children... How could this be so ridiculous! But... that heartbeat at that moment! That feeling was so obvious!
No! I probably just feel too sorry for her, that's all.
