Why would Chi Li call her?
He was usually only seen when Gu Qingyan was in trouble.
Xu Zhaozhao glanced towards the toilet a few times.
That can't be right.
It stopped as soon as I walked away?
With a hint of doubt, he pressed the answer button, "Dr. Chi."
"Miss Xu, I've been calling Brother Gu, but no one's answering."
Chi Li's voice came through the receiver.
Xu Zhaozhao was relieved.
Chi Li's feelings were impossible to hide; his calm conversation with her suggested that nothing urgent was happening.
"Just finished attending the wrap party."
Xu Zhaozhao spoke calmly, though she was dressed in thin clothes and shivering on the balcony.
I definitely don't want to go into a private room and get covered in cream.
He rubbed his arms and replied to Chi Li, "Probably in the toilet."
There was silence on the other end, probably because they were stunned by Xu Zhaozhao's words.
"cough."
Xu Zhaozhao was about to hang up when a soft cough from the other end of the phone stopped her in her tracks.
Chi Li's cautious voice came through: "Brother Gu...did I make you angry?"
Although it's phrased as an interrogative sentence, it's essentially a statement of fact.
"Ask him."
Xu Zhaozhao didn't want to discuss relationship issues with outsiders. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Chi Li continued in one breath, "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, I have good news for you!"
"Um."
Xu Zhaozhao gave a lazy reply, waiting for Chi Li to continue.
"My supervisor came back from country Z, and he saw Gu's retest results!"
As Chi Li spoke, he became somewhat excited, "I knew the retest results were a bit strange."
"My advisor said that Brother Gu may have regained the ability to love!"
"What?"
Xu Zhaozhao asked in surprise.
Chi Li, however, assumed she was just as excited as he was and continued talking non-stop.
"Yeah, yeah. Maybe Brother Gu has already fallen in love with you, because love makes people irrational..."
drop.
Xu Zhaozhao hung up on Chi Li in a panic, and the rest of her words were cut off on the other end of the phone.
She breathed in the fresh air deeply, her heart pounding faster than ever before.
Gu Qingyan... how could this be?
The wind was cool, and Xu Zhaozhao's heart was in turmoil.
Click.
The balcony door was opened, but Xu Zhaozhao didn't hear the sound.
It wasn't until a pair of warm little hands covered hers and the warmth spread that Xu Zhaozhao looked down and saw Gu Yulin standing beside her.
Her big almond-shaped eyes were full of worry. "Mom, your hands are so cold."
"The baby is so warm."
Xu Zhaozhao squatted down, hugged Gu Yulin, and smelled the faint milky scent on his body, which gradually calmed her chaotic thoughts.
"I called Gu Qingyan back to answer the phone."
Gu Yulin imitated Xu Zhaozhao's way of touching him and also touched her head.
"That stinky man was secretly smoking, took half an hour to wash his hands, and even sprayed perfume on himself; it almost suffocated me."
Xu Zhaozhao was amused by his humorous tone.
He had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"How about we let the driver take us back and he walks by himself?" Xu Zhaozhao asked jokingly.
After thinking it over carefully, Gu Yulin shook his head.
"It would be bad if he thought we didn't want him anymore."
Gu Yulin hated the feeling of being abandoned and didn't want others to experience it.
Xu Zhaozhao felt a slight ache in her heart.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Gu Qingyan walk to his seat, pick up his phone from his pocket, and go to another balcony.
Xu Zhaozhao opened her phone and switched to the WeChat page.
Shh: Don't tell him I just answered your call.
Gu Qingyan probably still thinks Xu Zhaozhao knows nothing.
Eating pears: a must.
Eating a pear: [Don't worry! I'll definitely mess it up.jpg]
This meme is weirdly unreliable...
I thought Gu Qingyan's call would last a long time, but he returned in less than two minutes.
The people in the private room were exhausted from their crazy outing, slumped in their seats, their faces covered in white cream.
Just looking at it was almost unbearable for Xu Zhaozhao.
Even if they had ten more lives, they wouldn't dare to get Gu Qingyan's clothes dirty.
So his black suit jacket, draped over the back of the middle chair, remained unaffected by the recent cream fight.
He picked up his suit jacket and opened the balcony door where Xu Zhaozhao and Gu Yulin were.
His gaze was originally on Xu Zhaozhao, but Xu Zhaozhao turned her head away and ignored him completely.
Helplessly, he turned his gaze to Gu Yulin, who had noticed him, and handed him his coat.
"Call your mother home."
Gu Yulin took the coat and draped it over Xu Zhaozhao's shoulders. "Mom, let's go home."
I've become quite skilled at using the Fishy brand megaphone.
Xu Zhaozhao pulled off her suit jacket. "Yuyu, you can't accept things from strangers!"
Gu Yulin: ...
Gu Qingyan: ...
Mom, calm down, I'm really scared.
Xu Zhaozhao refused to wear it no matter what.
Gu Yulin reluctantly handed it back, "Alright then. Here you go, stranger."
"Really not going to?"
Gu Qingyan looked at her trembling body and asked again.
Xu Zhaozhao finally glared at him.
"Let's go home, stop with the nonsense!"
She led Gu Yulin out first, said goodbye to the people in the private room, and only after a while did she see Gu Qingyan's figure.
This was their agreement before they arrived: to leave one after the other.
Both of them had been drinking and had called a driver in advance.
As soon as she got in the car, Xu Zhaozhao pulled a blanket over herself and lay down in a very unladylike manner, her face flushed.
Gu Qingyan was indirectly run over and landed in the passenger seat.
Even though she took hangover medicine, it couldn't overcome the original owner's extremely poor alcohol tolerance, and she was now feeling a bit tipsy.
In a daze, the car drove into the villa.
When Xu Zhaozhao got out of the car, she almost fell flat on her face, but luckily Gu Qingyan, who got out of the passenger seat, caught her.
"Chi Li wants me to go to the hospital. We can talk properly when I get back, okay?"
Although it wasn't obvious, he had softened his voice.
"Don't touch me."
As the alcohol took effect, she became increasingly daring.
"You've already made your decision, why are you asking me?"
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't shake off his hand; he knew she was still conscious.
"If you just ask, I'll definitely stay."
Xu Zhaozhao stopped struggling, raised her slightly dazed eyes, and looked at him, "Since you're so obedient, then go apologize to Yu Yao."
His voice was icy cold. "You're drunk."
