Hearing Gu Xiaotian say this, Mo Ling began to think seriously. Indeed, as Mo Lingzi, living alone was more dangerous than living with others. Things like picking up takeout at night or being followed when returning home were difficult for her to handle alone, significantly reducing her safety. Mo Ling also thought of the cases of women living alone who had been murdered in recent days, and couldn't help but shudder. Maybe she should just live with Gu Xiaotian. Safety aside, just because he was Gu Xiaotian, Mo Ling also had the idea of living with him.
After Gu Xiaotian said that, Mo Ling, who was originally hesitant to take action, was moved by him: "Since you've said so, then I'll reluctantly live with you. I don't want to live with you, I'm just worried that if I get killed, living with you might be able to take someone down with me." This girl is still being stubborn.
Gu Xiaotian smiled helplessly: "Yes, yes, I'll be your scapegoat."
For some reason, Mo Ling felt a surge of shyness upon hearing this, and her ears turned slightly red.
Gu Xiaotian noticed the hint of pink and teased, "Why are you shy?" He then brought his face close to Mo Ling's.
"Who, who's shy! Come on, just remember to come help me move some things later!" After saying that, Mo Ling hurriedly quickened her pace and left. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was chasing after some villain.
Not long after, Mo Ling moved into Gu Xiaotian's house to live with him. Although Mo Ling was not the typical lady, she still had the qualities that a girl should have, such as shyness and restraint.
She was a little nervous on the first day. She even had to ask Gu Xiaotian for permission before drinking water, let alone taking a shower or eating.
During lunch, Gu Xiaotian suddenly asked, "Mo Ling, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"
"Ah...ah? Oh, a little. After all, it's my first time living with another guy, and I don't know what to be careful about. Besides, there's a difference between men and women, so I feel a bit uncomfortable." Mo Ling, who was lost in thought, was startled by Gu Xiaotian's sudden question. She stammered for a moment, and after regaining her senses, she honestly revealed her true feelings.
After listening, Gu Xiaotian nodded: "No need to be so formal, make yourself at home."
She didn't say anything more after that. However, Mo Ling noticed that after that little conversation, Gu Xiaotian rarely appeared in front of her. He spent most of his time in the study. Because there was no man around, Mo Ling gradually let go of her usual self and began to adapt to living under the same roof as Gu Xiaotian.
However, the invisible barrier between them has not been removed. For example, Mo Ling stays in her room every night after taking a shower, while Gu Xiaotian stays in the study. The only time the two of them interact at night is at the dinner table, and even then, they only exchange glances without saying much to break the awkwardness.
Gu Xiaotian felt that this wouldn't do. He wanted Mo Ling to move in with him not just so that he could see her face first thing every day. He knew they needed to get closer, and he had to do something about it.
The next morning, Mo Ling woke up hungry. Sunlight shone on her face, and she rolled over, turning to hug the blanket. Then her stomach rumbled. Mo Ling rubbed her stomach with her eyes closed, and then seemed to smell something else in the air. She sniffed carefully and realized it was the aroma of breakfast! Mo Ling immediately woke up and quickly got out of bed to wash up. After washing up, she went to the dining room and saw that breakfast was already laid out on the table. Gu Xiaotian had just taken off his apron and was carrying out the last dish.
Gu Xiaotian had just finished making breakfast when he came out and found Mo Ling standing by the table. He felt a little disappointed that Mo Ling had gotten up early. Otherwise, he would have woken her up himself, which would have been more in line with his wishes. But there was nothing he could do. She was already up. Was he going to have to make her go back to sleep?
"You're awake? I just finished making breakfast, let's eat it while it's hot." Gu Xiaotian gave Mo Ling a flawless smile.
At this moment, Mo Ling wasn't paying attention to Gu Xiaotian, but staring at the table full of dishes with slight surprise: "Wow, Gu Xiaotian, how are you so amazing? All the dishes you cooked are my favorites!"
Gu Xiaotian shrugged: "Maybe it's because we're on the same wavelength."
Hearing him say that, Mo Ling lightly punched him with her fist: "You're such a chatterbox."
In reality, there's no such thing as telepathy. Gu Xiaotian only used the phrase "telepathy" with extreme confidence after making ample preparations.
"Alright, alright, eat up. I'll give you a ride to work on my way."
Mo Ling initially wanted to refuse, but when she heard Gu Xiaotian say it was on his way, she didn't say anything more.
After breakfast, the two took the same car to work. When they arrived at Mo Ling's company, Mo Ling had just gotten out of the car and closed the door when she heard her colleague calling her. She turned around and waved to her from a distance. As soon as she arrived at the company, she swiped her card and sat down when she saw her colleague across from her whispering and looking at her. When the colleague met Mo Ling's gaze, she quickly lowered her head and dared not look at her.
Mo Ling found it a little strange, but didn't pay much attention to it. She picked up her cup to get some coffee. While she was getting her coffee, a female colleague came in and asked, "Hey Mo Ling, whose car did you get out of today? That car is something else, a luxury car! When did you hook up with this rich guy?" She pretended to be asking who drove Mo Ling, but actually she was subtly labeling Mo Ling as "being kept by a rich man."
Mo Ling could easily tell the difference, but she was too lazy to argue with such a person: "Come on, don't label me. He's not a tycoon, just a friend of mine who gave me a ride to work. Stop spreading rumors." With that, she strode away, leaving her female colleague stomping her feet in envy.
As soon as she left the company, she saw Gu Xiaotian's car parked in front of the company. She walked up and knocked on the car window. The window slowly rolled down, revealing Gu Xiaotian's handsome face. Mo Ling asked, "What are you doing here? Are you waiting for someone?"
"I was waiting for you. It's on my way back, and I just got off work. I was thinking of picking you up, and here you are as soon as I parked. Get in the car."
If it were anyone else, Mo Ling would definitely not have gotten into Gu Xiaotian's car because of the gossip she heard today. But Mo Ling is not an ordinary person and doesn't care about other people's opinions at all, so she got into the car.
On their way back, the two stopped at the supermarket and bought some groceries together. After returning home, Gu Xiaotian took the groceries and cooked for himself. As Mo Ling watched his back, the phrase "old married couple" suddenly popped into her mind. However, she quickly dismissed the thought and hurriedly went to help Gu Xiaotian.
