Xie Qi clutched the corner of Gu Ze'an's clothes tightly. His eyes, which were once as bright as stars, were now filled with pity and helplessness. He stared straight at Gu Ze'an and pleaded in his voice, "Sir, please take me away! I don't want to stay here."
When Xie Qi suddenly grabbed the corner of Gu Ze'an's clothes, he instinctively tried to shake him off.
But at the moment when his eyes met Xie Qi's, he completely forgot about his move to shake Xie Qi off, and just stared blankly at the pair of eyes in front of him that were full of pleading and desire.
After coming back to his senses, Gu Ze'an heard clearly what Xie Qi said, and he couldn't help but frowned and asked in a serious tone: "You didn't come here voluntarily?"
Hearing this, Xie Qi slowly lowered his head and replied as if he had done something wrong: "I originally came here to apply for the waiter job, I didn't want to be a male model..." At the end of his speech, his voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.
Just then, Lu Yichuan also walked over, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Didn't you already sign the contract?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Yichuan said this, Xie Qi, who was already in a very low mood, turned pale as paper in an instant. He looked as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his face full of despair.
His lips trembled as he spoke, "I... I thought it was just an ordinary employment contract, so I didn't even read the terms carefully. Who... who knew I would have to accompany..."
Xie Qi continued to hold on to Gu Ze'an a little tighter as he spoke, trembling, "Sir, I just found out what I signed... Please take me away. If you don't choose me, I... I can't afford the penalty, so I'll have to keep doing this..."
Gu Ze'an stared at Xie Qi's extremely uneasy expression, and for some reason, an indescribable pity welled up in his heart. For some unknown reason, he asked, "What's your name, and how old are you?"
Xie Qi lowered his head slightly and responded softly: "Xie Qi, I'm 21 years old."
Hearing this, Gu Ze'an couldn't help but frown subconsciously. This answer really surprised him. The other party was actually seven years younger than him.
A college student who has not yet graduated and has no social experience signed such a contract in a confused manner.
Honestly, Gu Ze'an felt that the man before him was truly foolish. He hadn't even carefully reviewed the most basic terms before signing the contract. Wasn't that the same as selling himself out?
However, if he really turned a blind eye to it and gave up, then Xie Qi, who was unable to pay the high penalty for breach of contract, would probably be forced to continue to engage in this kind of business of receiving customers.
Whenever Gu Ze'an thought about the scene where Xie Qi would have to receive all kinds of guests in the future, a nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart.
His gaze slowly fell on Xie Qi's eyes that were as clear as water, and for a moment he became a little hesitant.
After a long while, Gu Ze'an felt that the suggestion Lu Yichuan had made earlier did not seem completely unacceptable.
Gu Ze'an tried to calm himself down a bit, then asked again, "Did you listen to everything we said just now?"
Xie Qi nodded vigorously without any hesitation and replied as quickly as possible: "I heard everything." His eyes were firm and honest as he looked straight at Gu Ze'an.
Seeing Xie Qi's straightforward response, Gu Ze'an's heart trembled slightly. He took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his complicated emotions, and then asked again, "Are you short of money?" The question was direct and sharp, making it difficult to avoid.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xie Qi's face, and he said slowly: "I am very short of money. I am now a senior, but I still had to borrow money from my tutor to barely raise enough money for my junior year tuition. If I can't pay back the money in time, I'm afraid I will be forced to drop out of school." At this point, he lowered his head unconsciously, and his voice became low.
Hearing this, Gu Ze'an couldn't help but frown. After a moment of silence, he slowly uttered three words: "Clean." These two seemingly simple words are full of profound meaning, as if implying some important conditions or requirements.
However, just before Xie Qi responded, Lu Yichuan, who had been standing by and observing silently for a long time, could no longer hold back and immediately walked forward quickly.
He said to Gu Ze'an with a confident look, "Ze'an, don't worry! I can assure you that he is absolutely clean and there is no problem at all."
Lu Yichuan originally thought that Gu Ze'an, who had just been determined to turn around and leave, would refuse. But he never expected that Gu Ze'an would actually begin to question Xie Qi in detail.
This sudden change made Lu Yichuan realize that perhaps there was still hope. Perhaps after some thought, Gu Ze'an had begun to accept or even agree with what they had discussed before.
Lu Yichuan re-examined Xie Qi with a piercing gaze, secretly amazed. This Alpha before him was the most outstanding he had ever seen, both in appearance and figure. No wonder Gu Ze'an, who had always disliked Alphas, was interested in him.
At this moment, Gu Ze'an glanced at Lu Yichuan nonchalantly, but did not respond. He then turned his attention back to Xie Qi, and asked bluntly, "Have you ever been in love?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Qi blurted out almost without hesitation: "No."
"With your looks, do you think I'd believe you if you said you've never been in a relationship?"
