Chapter 118 Zhu Jianyi x Lu Guanqi (Part 1)
Ever since that day when I confessed my love to Lu Guanqi and was rejected.
Zhu Jianyi made up her mind to ignore Lu Guanqi again. She had never been so irritated since she was a child.
She felt uneasy and uneasy staying at home, so she immediately decided to get together with her friends and go to a bar.
She wants to drink!
"Yi, what's wrong with you tonight?"
Zhu Jianyi lazily leaned on the sofa, holding a transparent glass of high-concentration vodka in her hand. She usually sipped the wine lightly, but she drank it mouthful after mouthful, even though her throat was so spicy that it felt like lava was rolling over it, and she didn't stop.
Her friend couldn't bear to see this and snatched the glass from her hand, "What's wrong with you? Are you heartbroken?"
Zhu Jianyi's empty hands hung on the leather sofa, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, and he spoke as if talking to himself.
"Does rejecting someone's confession mean you don't like them?"
My friend said frankly, "Of course, if I liked it, I would have agreed a long time ago."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tear rolled down Zhu Jianyi's eye.
The friend hurried over to wipe her tears with tissues, "Why are you still crying? Who dared to reject your confession? I'll teach him a lesson for you!"
There was a moment of silence, and Zhu Jianyi's tears rolled down like a bursting dam. After sobbing for a few times, she roared into the noisy and chaotic bar.
"Lu Guanqi! You bastard!"
The friend glanced at the figure approaching from behind and asked uncertainly, "You said it was your childhood sweetheart, Lu Guanqi, who rejected your confession?"
"Who else could it be if not him?" Zhu Jianyi raised the back of her hand to wipe away her tears. "Who cares about a childhood sweetheart like him? He's a bastard!"
"Blessings on Jianyi."
Suddenly someone called her name from behind.
She was in a rage, and someone was so blind as to call her.
Zhu Jianyi said impatiently: "Who——"
The words got stuck in her throat, and she stared at the person in front of her and quickly wiped away the remaining tears, trying not to look embarrassed.
He said coldly: "Why are you here?"
Lu Guanqi's gaze rested on her wet eyelashes, and instead of answering, he asked, "Why are you crying?"
"What's it to you!" Zhu Jianyi glared at him.
Lu Guanqi walked slowly through the crowd, walked around the long row of sofas and stood in front of them. He whispered coaxingly, "Miss, why are you drinking so late? Let's go, I'll take you home."
Zhu Jianyi looked up at him, his head a little dizzy from the alcohol, but he managed to stay sober and refused, "No need for you to send me off, I don't know you well!"
Lu Guanqi caught a glimpse of her hazy eyes and grabbed her wrist. "Ask anyone in Jiangbei, and everyone will know that I've been following you around since I was a kid, rushing to clean up your messes."
"Don't pull me!" Zhu Jianyi tried to resist, but Lu Guanqi's strength was so great that he pulled her all the way out of the bar and to the car.
Lu Guanqi opened the passenger door and raised his chin towards her, "Get in the car."
Zhu Jianyi turned his head and said stubbornly: "No!"
Without giving her any chance to refuse, Lu Guanqi grabbed her wrists, supported her waist, and carried her to the passenger seat.
He fastened his seat belt and closed the door in one smooth motion.
After he got in the car, Zhu Jianyi's alcohol gradually took over her will. She felt dizzy and her eyelids twitched. She forced herself to tilt her head and asked, "What do you mean now?"
He rejected her confession, but then appeared in front of her, caring for her, worrying about her, and doing things that would cause people to misunderstand him.
This behavior is really annoying, to be honest.
If this person was not Lu Guanqi, Zhu Jianyi would have slapped him in the face.
Lu Guanqi fastened his seatbelt and said, "Let me talk to you about your confession."
"If you want to reject me a second time," Zhu Jianyi stared at him intently, "then you'll die, Lu Guanqi."
“…”
Lu Guanqi felt an inexplicable chill on his back and said calmly, "When will you change your habit of threatening me?"
Zhu Jianyi rubbed his sore temples and urged, "If you want to say something, just say it quickly."
The car was silent for two seconds before Lu Guanqi slowly spoke, "I withdraw my refusal."
Zhu Jianyi was stunned, "Pity me?"
Lu Guanqi glanced at her and said, "Are you sick, Zhu Jianyi?"
"...You are the one who is sick." Zhu Jianyi retorted to him.
After a while, Lu Guanqi asked tentatively: "Want to try it with me?"
Thinking of the rejection, Zhu Jianyi suppressed her laughter, deliberately pulled his face, and said vaguely: "Let's see."
"What do you mean by looking again?" Lu Guanqi frowned uneasily.
"Literally," Zhu Jianyi turned her head and looked ahead, deliberately not looking at him, "Drive home."
"If you don't tell me, I won't drive." Lu Guanqi unbuckled his seat belt again, put his hands on the steering wheel, and stared at her sideways.
"If you don't open it, I won't tell you." Zhu Jianyi wouldn't buy it.
"Okay," Lu Guanqi said happily, "Then wait and see."
Those who knew them thought they were in love, while those who didn’t thought they were just arguing.
"..." Zhu Jianyi gritted his teeth, "If you don't want to drive, let me drive."
Lu Guanqi asked, "How do you open the door when you're drunk?"
"Why do you care how I drive?" Zhu Jianyi said as he pretended to unbuckle his seatbelt. He said coldly, "Leave me alone. I have plenty of strength and means."
That being said, in reality, no action was ever taken.
Seeing through her provocation, Lu Guanqi was the first to compromise. He sighed helplessly, "I can't open it yet."
Zhu Jianyi hummed softly and gave him a triumphant smile.
Zhu Jianyi moved out of her home many years ago and now lives in a villa in the south of the city that she bought with the money she earned from her own business when she was in college. Lu Guanqi lives next door to her.
When she first bought the land, she didn't know that Lu Guanqi lived next door until they met by chance. She even pretended to be unlucky for several days.
Later, she began to go to Lu Guanqi's house openly to eat and drink. Even though there was a nanny at home to cook, she just felt that the food at Lu Guanqi's house tasted better.
By the time they arrived at the villa in the south of the city, Zhu Jianyi's brain was taken over by alcohol and he had fallen asleep in a daze.
Lu Guanqi saw that she was asleep but did not wake her up. He got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and with a "click", he leaned over to unbuckle her seat belt, picked her up and walked towards her home.
Stopping in front of the combination lock of her house, he entered a string of numbers with ease, then opened the door and carried her up to the master bedroom on the second floor.
He knew the layout of her house very well.
She was placed gently on the soft bed. Lu Guanqi couldn't give her a bath or change her clothes, so he could only bend down and wrap the corner of the quilt around her tightly. His nostrils were filled with her body fragrance mixed with alcohol.
Lu Guanqi sighed imperceptibly and was about to step away when suddenly a pair of hands appeared at his neck.
Zhu Jianyi put her arms around his neck and pulled him down. Lu Guanqi lost his balance and fell beside her, landing on her pillow. The distance between them was less than an inch, so close that he could kiss her lips by just leaning over.
Thinking this way, it seemed as if the person opposite me could also sense it, and the next second, I felt a warm and moist touch on my lips.
Lu Guanqi's eyes widened, and his brain exploded with a bang as if a volcano had erupted.
He kept his eyes open, not daring to blink for even a second.
She closed her eyes, as if immersed in a dream, and was completely unaware of this.
For a moment, Lu Guanqi was neither able to retreat nor advance. After all, he still had some remaining morality in his heart and did not dare to take advantage of others in distress.
He pried open her arms that were around her neck.
As the action took place, a hint of heat slid across his lips.
Itchy, wet, like running water sliding slowly.
Zhu Jianyi extended the tip of her tongue and licked his lips, as if she was tasting a dessert, carefully and preciously.
