"There should be spare umbrellas in the bar. I'll go ask. Wait for me." With that, Bai Qianmo turned and walked into the bar.
Gu Jueye lowered his eyes to look at his slightly wrinkled shirt, a soft light flashing in his eyes.
Bai Qianmo ran to the front desk to ask the staff, but unfortunately they left quite late and several spare umbrellas had already been borrowed by other guests.
Helpless, they had no choice but to return to the main gate.
Gu Jueye leaned against the stone pillar by the door, lit a cigarette, and behind him, the wind and rain howled across the road.
Seeing Bai Qianmo come out empty-handed, Gu Jueye stubbed out his cigarette without asking any further questions.
"Wait here for me, I'm going to get the car."
After giving him a brief explanation, he braved the heavy rain and headed towards the garage.
The rain quickly soaked his shirt, and his well-defined muscles exuded a masculine allure under the light.
Bai Qianmo sighed inwardly, "Who says that sexiness is synonymous with womanhood?"
This way
Gu Jueye got into the car and received a message on his phone—an emergency alert from the Beijing Meteorological Observatory.
Due to severe convective weather, Beijing will experience short-term heavy rainfall and gale-force winds of up to level 10 after midnight tonight. Some areas have already experienced flooding. Residents who are already at home should check the condition of their doors and windows. Residents who have already gone out should find a safe place nearby as soon as possible. It is not advisable to go out during heavy rain and strong winds.
Gu Jueye frowned slightly, immediately backed the car out of the parking space, and drove it to the entrance of TJ Bar.
The wind was even stronger at this point, and there was a risk that even if you had an umbrella, it would be blown away immediately.
Gu Jueye took a spare jacket from the car and strode towards the bar entrance.
Seeing Gu Jueye approaching, Bai Qianmo clutched her dress and ran towards him.
When Gu Jueye saw her running over, he took three steps at a time to reach her, frowned at her, and immediately held up his coat to shield her head.
"Get in the car quickly."
Seeing that Gu Jueye's clothes were completely soaked, Bai Qianmo's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She moved closer to him so that the clothes he was holding up could be draped over her.
The two hurriedly got into the car, and Gu Jueye immediately turned on the heater. Bai Qianmo's upper body was protected from the rain because of the clothes that Gu Jueye had stretched open, but her skirt and shoes were completely soaked.
Gu Jueye was completely soaked.
"There will be heavy rain and strong winds tonight, and several sections of the road are already flooded. We probably won't be able to get back."
Bai Qianmo's heart skipped a beat.
If they can't go back, where can they, a lone man and woman, go?
Some unhealthy images flashed through her mind, and Bai Qianmo's cheeks flushed slightly.
"Does he have a fever?"
Seeing Bai Qianmo's cheeks flush, Gu Jueye reached out and naturally stroked her forehead with his palm.
The heat from her palm was particularly scorching, and Bai Qianmo tensed up: "I'm fine, but you just got caught in the rain, are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Jueye was relieved to find that Bai Qianmo showed no signs of fever.
He casually replied, "It's okay, but my clothes are soaked and I feel uncomfortable all over."
Bai Qianmo's gaze fell on the man's short hair, where rain was dripping down from the tips.
Bai Qianmo immediately rummaged through her bag for a pack of tissues, opened it, pulled out a tissue, and carefully wiped away the raindrops that had rolled down his face.
Gu Jueye glanced at her with his deep gaze, then moved slightly closer to Bai Qianmo.
This helps with the movements in her hands.
Where are we going tonight?
As the rain outside intensified, the howling wind whipped up the rainwater on the ground, like surging waves, one after another.
“I have a house nearby. Let’s make do there for tonight. I’ll take you home when the rain stops.”
A sudden sense of tension rose in Bai Qianmo's heart.
A man and a woman alone in a room—it just feels like there's an undeniable air of ambiguity about it.
But for now, this is the best solution, as the sudden downpour has likely filled up all the nearby hotels.
Moreover, going to a hotel seems even less appropriate.
After a moment's thought, Bai Qianmo nodded in agreement.
Gu Jueye's residence is only a ten-minute walk from TJ Bar.
Jinyu Huating
The most expensive upscale residential community within the Fourth Ring Road of Beijing.
Gu Jueye's house is a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with a total area of 147 square meters.
After entering the room, Bai Qianmo glanced around.
It maintains the minimalist Nordic style, with black and gray tones giving the entire room a simple yet sophisticated feel.
Perhaps because no one had been staying there for a long time, the room felt a bit deserted.
After entering the room, Gu Jueye left his keys and went to the bedroom.
Seeing that he was soaked to the bone, Bai Qianmo was worried that he would catch a cold.
I found the kettle and boiled a pot of water, then went into the kitchen and looked around.
I was hoping to find some ginger and brown sugar so I could make some ginger and brown sugar water to dispel the cold.
After searching the kitchen thoroughly, they finally found only two buckets of instant noodles.
Bai Qianmo stared at the two buckets of instant noodles and sighed inwardly.
Gu Jueye's true personality is quite different from the aloof and refined demeanor he exudes.
What are you doing here?
Bai Qianmo, holding two buckets of instant noodles, turned to look at the man walking towards her.
"I made some hot water and wanted to see if there was any brown sugar and ginger in the kitchen."
“I’ve only stayed here a few times and have never bought anything like this before.”
He had changed into a black pajama set and was holding a bath towel, drying his wet hair.
In his other hand he was holding a set of clothes.
