The sofa suddenly vibrated, and Gu Rongqi picked up his phone to take a look.
After realizing that the phone's screen saver wasn't his own, he handed the phone to Cheng Qicai behind him, saying, "Excuse me, this is your phone."
"Thank you." Cheng Qicai took the phone, remembering that she had left it on the sofa when she helped Gu Rong up and hadn't picked it up since. Luckily, the phone hadn't fallen.
However, given the background of the people here, they wouldn't have taken her broken phone.
Cheng Qicai opened the message and found it was a voice message from Ji Xing.
Seeing Gu Rongqi beside her, she decided not to play the audio directly and instead tried to convert it to text. However, she found it difficult to operate with one hand and ended up playing the audio after clicking for a while.
Ji Xing's deep, slightly chuckled voice came through the receiver: "[Xiao Cai, watching anime again?]"
The sound wasn't loud. When Cheng Qicai was making videos that touched on the edge of the screen, the volume was turned down to the lowest setting, and you couldn't hear it unless you were very close.
However, Gu Rongqi was right in front of her, and Cheng Qicai couldn't pretend he couldn't hear her.
She was so embarrassed she could practically dig her toes out of a three-bedroom apartment.
Seeing that Ji Xing had sent another voice message, the software seemed to be playing it along with the previous one.
Cheng Qicai hurriedly closed the software, but while she did manage to close it, it switched back to the app she had been using to watch videos.
"ah……"
The male Bodhisattva's panting echoed in the lounge from the video, making Cheng Qicai even more embarrassed and tempted to jump out of the window.
However, this is the second floor; you won't die from the fall, but you'll be crippled.
She withdrew her hand from Gu Rongqi's body and went to close the software, but her hand was covered in condensation from the ice pack, and no matter how she swiped, the screen couldn't recognize it.
She was so anxious that her eyes turned red, but misfortune never comes singly. She lost her grip on her phone and it fell to the ground with a "thud".
To make matters worse, the screen was facing upwards.
A shirtless, dazed-eyed male bodhisattva with eight-pack abs came into Gu Rongqi's view.
Cheng Qicai was petrified on the spot.
Gu Rongqi picked up the phone, closed the app, and returned it to Cheng Qicai.
Cheng Qicai was too ashamed to look Gu Rongqi in the eye, and took her phone with trembling hands.
This isn't just answering a phone call; it's answering with your own integrity!
"Mr. Gu, let me get you a different ice pack," Cheng Qicai said, trying to cover up her misunderstanding.
Feeling the hand behind his back tremble slightly, Gu Rongqi asked, "Was that your blind date just now?"
"Huh?" Cheng Qicai didn't expect Gu Rong to ask such a question. She nodded, then, remembering that he was facing away and couldn't see, she answered, "It's that blind date from before."
Remembering that Gu Rongqi had asked this question many times, she hesitated before asking, "Mr. Gu is very interested in my blind date?"
"..." Gu Rongqi remained silent for a long time. Just when Cheng Qicai thought he wouldn't answer her question, he spoke up: "Didn't you think there was something wrong with the person my parents introduced?"
She suddenly remembered the blind date topic that Gu Rongqi had talked about with her at the noodle shop.
She didn't really think there was anything wrong with what she asked before; it was just that she had never seen such a ridiculous reason for getting together—it was just gossip.
So, is Gu Rongqi using her experience as a comparison?
Cheng Qicai, drawing on her own experience, said, "Actually, you don't need to care about how you met them, as long as the person is right for you after you get together."
"Suitable for me?" Gu Rongqi asked, puzzled.
"It's not about matching family backgrounds. As long as the two people are happy, relaxed, and comfortable together, and can understand and tolerate each other, that's enough!"
"So, do you think this blind date is right for you?"
Gu Rongqi's question could be considered presumptuous, but Cheng Qicai, seeing Gu Rongqi's wound, gave a vague answer: "Still looking into it."
In fact, Cheng Qicai already felt that she and Ji Xing were not a good match.
Although Ji Xing appears young, promising, and gentlemanly, he always subtly reveals a sense of pretentiousness in their interactions, making Cheng Qicai feel like a mosquito buzzing around her ear at night. You can feel it, you want to swat it, but it disappears as soon as you turn on the light.
Just when you give up and are about to fall asleep, it reappears.
That's how Ji Xing's pretentiousness works; it reappears just when you think things are going well and you don't care anymore.
This made it difficult for her to find a good reason to reject him. After all, you can't just say to him, "Sorry, I rejected you because I sensed your subtle pretentiousness."
Gu Rongqi frowned. "It's been over two months, and you're still trying to find out?"
"Eh..." Cheng Qicai was surprised that Gu Rongqi actually remembered the time she and Ji Xing went on a blind date, and awkwardly didn't know what to say. "Isn't it better to know more about each other?"
"Knowing him for so long means he doesn't quite fit your 'suitable' criteria, does he?" Gu Rongqi said in a calm tone, his words hitting the nail on the head.
Cheng Qicai had to admit that Gu Rongqi was right, but she didn't really want to discuss her private affairs with outsiders, especially her boss.
Just as Cheng Qicai was thinking about how to reply, Gu Liji pushed open the door and walked in, holding the blood-activating medicine prescribed by the doctor.
Seeing Cheng Qicai and Gu Rongqi's close proximity, Gu Liji suspiciously looked back and forth between the two.
But seeing that the two looked normal and there was no ambiguous atmosphere, he put aside his doubts.
Cheng Qicai withdrew her hand after seeing that the ice pack had been applied for about the right amount of time. "Alright, President Gu."
After Gu Rongqi got dressed, the three of them went out together.
Gu Rongqi had his driver take Cheng Qicai home, while he himself got into Gu Liji's car.
Looking at Gu Rongqi in the passenger seat, Gu Liji drove nervously, wondering what Gu Rongqi had come to the club for today.
