Chapter 20 Our tutoring continues as usual
Club
The private room in the upscale club was dimly lit.
The man sitting in the middle booth had a high, straight nose, deep-set eyes, and a sculpted profile that was somewhat obscured by the lighting, yet still made the young girl who came in to deliver drinks blush and her heart race.
Gu Yuheng leaned back lazily in the booth, his legs crossed, his long, slender hands holding a wine glass, gently swirling it a few times, his gaze fixed intently on the ripples on the surface of the wine.
The young girl delivering the wine blushed when she saw such a handsome man as she entered the room. She mustered her courage and walked over, wanting to make an impression on Gu Yuheng.
But Gu Yuheng treated her like air, not even sparing her a glance. Seeing his cold attitude, the young girl felt a chill in her heart, blushed, put down the wine, and went out.
"Yuheng, how can you be so clueless about romance? This pretty young lady wanted to say a few words to you, but you wouldn't even give her a glance. I really don't know which woman could catch your eye."
Gu Yuheng's childhood friends, Fu Chenting and Shen Baihe, were also sitting in the private room.
All three came from wealthy families in Kyoto and grew up together. Their friendship was extraordinary, so they spoke more freely.
Upon hearing Fu Chenting's words, Gu Yuheng inexplicably recalled Su Niannian's image.
He casually rubbed the wine glass with his fingertips, then tilted his head back slightly and drank the wine in one gulp.
Shen Baihe couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
These friends all knew that Gu Yuheng did not like drinking.
Normally, I only take a few symbolic sips when I'm socializing and can't refuse.
Why is everything so unusual today?
He won't go crazy from not having a woman for a long time, will he?
"Yuheng," he hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about I call a pretty girl to help you relieve some tension? Long-term sexual repression can easily lead to impotence..."
Although there are rumors that Gu Yuheng is not good enough.
But as a friend, he didn't really believe it.
Even if the rumors are true, today is a good day to verify them.
If Gu Yuheng really can't make it, he, as a friend, will keep his secret until his death!
Gu Yuheng glanced at him and said, "Shen Baihe, if you keep talking so much, you might as well go and dig coal in your family's coal mine in Africa."
Sexual repression?
He was somewhat sexually repressed, but he only had this urge towards Su Niannian.
At first he could control himself, but as the days went by, his mind kept replaying the image of the girl's fragrant body that night.
He wanted to taste that feeling again.
The door to the private room was ajar, and the occasional footsteps and noises from the corridor drifted into the room through the crack in the door.
Gu Yuheng's expression remained undisturbed and calm. He raised his left hand and glanced at the time on his wristwatch; it was already eight o'clock.
What is Su Niannian doing at this time?
Is she fiddling with that potted sunflower she planted again?
Shen Baihe didn't want to suffer in Africa, so he spoke much more restrainedly. He noticed that Gu Yuheng kept checking his watch, showing signs of getting restless.
He couldn't help but say, "Yuheng, do you have hemorrhoids? It feels like your seat is burning your butt."
Fu Chenting, who was standing to the side, spat out the wine he had just taken a sip of.
After coughing a few times, he said, "Baihe, has your hospital started any new services? Can you still make diagnoses remotely?"
Shen Baihe's family owns a hospital, but he is medically illiterate and knows nothing about medicine.
"I wish I had this skill, then my dad wouldn't nag me every day."
"Then why would you say that?"
"You can't see that Yuheng is almost unable to sit still, like there's a nail on the sofa."
After hearing this, Fu Chenting turned his head and secretly observed Gu Yuheng. He felt that Gu Yuheng was indeed acting strangely. He usually read the morning newspaper and rarely looked at his phone, but now he was holding his phone and his eyes kept scanning the screen.
He said incredulously, "Yuheng, you really don't have a little wife hiding at home, do you?"
Gu Yuheng frowned slightly, finding the two of them rather noisy for some reason, but then his phone screen suddenly lit up and Su Niannian's profile picture popped up.
He looked at the somewhat rustic cartoon rabbit head, and his brows unconsciously relaxed.
【I wanted to tell you something. I used to tutor a child, and her mother wants me to continue tutoring her for a while longer. Could I ask for a leave of absence? It won't take too long; I'll be back before dinner each time, and I can even help Aunt Chen cook dinner.】
As the saying goes, one can't hit a smiling face. She's so sensible, Gu Yuheng won't refuse her, right?
I brought you back, not to be your nanny. You've given me such a rigid, authoritarian impression of a boss.
No, no, I just enjoy cooking... Can I come?
You have your own life and your own social circle. You can go see your friends and do whatever you want without having to report to me every time. My principle is not to interfere in your affairs.
Su Niannian put down the phone. Gu Yuheng's attitude was exactly what she expected. How could a reserved and refined man make things difficult for such a cute girl like her?
Gu Yuheng looked at Su Niannian and sent her a cute emoticon.
Suddenly I really feel like I'm getting old.
Gu Yuheng copied the emoticon into Notepad, called Shen Baihe over, and asked in a calm tone.
Do you understand what this means?
Shen Baihe peeked out and saw that he was two years younger than Gu Yuheng, and the generation gap between him and Su Niannian had obviously narrowed a bit.
"This is to say thank you, but who sent it to you?"
Gu Yuheng didn't answer his question. He stood up and greeted the two of them, saying, "I'm leaving. You guys drink."
Shen Baihe looked at his back and shook his head: "That's so unfair. He really just uses me and leaves. Chen Ting, what do you think he went to do in such a hurry?"
Fu Chenting casually remarked, "He probably went home to practice how to be a stay-at-home dad."
Shen Baihe's lips twitched: "Could it be that Yuheng injured himself there in Africa, and that his sperm motility was almost completely gone, that's not true?"
Fu Chenting glanced at him speechlessly: "I just made it up, and you believed me?"
It's a miracle that Shen Baihe, with his intelligence, survived in the Shen family.
------
When Gu Yuheng returned to the villa, the clock struck nine.
Su Niannian was watering the potted plants she was growing. Her eyes were slightly lowered, and her beautiful profile looked exceptionally serene and gentle under the lamplight.
She heard footsteps and looked at Gu Yuheng standing in front of her with surprise in her eyes.
"Weren't you out socializing?"
Gu Yuheng walked over and stood beside her, his gaze falling on the small flowers she had planted. He said calmly, "My friends have all left, so I came back early."
Su Niannian, unsuspecting, nodded: "Oh, Aunt Chen and I made wontons for lunch. Would you like some?"
Gu Yuheng: "Okay."
Not wanting to bother others, Su Niannian personally cooked wontons for Gu Yuheng. After a few boils, she scooped them into a bowl with a spoon.
Gu Yuheng sat at the dining table eating wontons.
Su Niannian looked at him with her hands supporting her chin.
Gu Yuheng's dining etiquette is very elegant; even eating wontons is a pleasure to behold. It must be said that the Gu family's etiquette and family traditions are truly excellent.
"Have you eaten?" Gu Yuheng suddenly asked.
Su Niannian realized she had been staring at him, blushed, and quickly looked away: "I ate..."
After finishing his meal, Gu Yuheng took the bowl and chopsticks and went to the sink to wash the dishes. Amidst the sound of running water, he spoke.
"Come to the study later, I'll tutor you in English."
Su Niannian felt that he was too tired after a busy day: "It's too late today, and you still have work to do later. How about we have tutoring tomorrow?"
Gu Yuheng: "I don't have any work to do tonight, so our tutoring will continue as usual."
