Chapter 873 Kong Chi Extra (16)
Gu Zhixu: "..."
She can't get used to any of it!
It's not right for men and women to not touch each other!
Why is he hugging me like that?!
Despite thinking this way, she felt somewhat responsible for his drinking too much today—Kong Chi had shielded her from countless drinks, which softened her heart.
Fine, I'll just hug you then.
He might not remember anything when he wakes up tomorrow.
She can just pretend nothing happened.
Thinking this, Gu Zhixu felt a little more at ease and even took a moment to look down at him.
Undeniably, Kong Chi is extremely handsome.
His eyebrows and eyes were dignified and elegant, and his bone structure was sharp yet carried an indescribable gentleness.
A few stray strands of hair fell loosely, giving him an approachable air that wasn't usually present in him.
The man leaned against her whole body, without any guard or distance, making her momentarily forget what the usually meticulous Kong Chi looked like.
She let out a long breath, stopping herself from letting her thoughts wander further, and tried to control her chaotic heartbeat in the darkness.
...
Upon arrival, the driver helped Gu Zhixu escort Kong Chi upstairs before taking his leave.
Gu Zhixu finally managed to settle the person in bed after a great deal of effort.
But when he was about to leave, the drunkard on the bed grabbed him.
Gu Zhixu was already exhausted, and when she lost her balance, she fell directly onto him.
The man's body was hard and taut, making her gasp.
Kong Chi was completely unaware, only feeling his arms full and extremely satisfied. He held her tightly and murmured possessively, "Don't go."
Gu Zhixu was exasperated: "Am I supposed to just sleep like this if I don't leave?"
Kong Chi snorted twice: "Anyway, you're not allowed to leave."
Gu Zhixu tried to push him, but the man's arm was like a pair of pincers, giving her no room to move at all.
A moment later, only one thought remained in her mind: whatever, let it all end.
So what if we share a bed? It's no big deal. A drunkard can't do anything, so she's not at a disadvantage!
She won't be the one feeling awkward tomorrow morning!
Once you've gone all out, you're not so conflicted anymore.
Gu Zhixu lay down on the spot and closed his eyes.
...
Kong Chi felt like he was dreaming.
If he wasn't dreaming, he simply couldn't understand how Gu Zhixu could be in his bed!
Isn't this something that only happens in dreams?
So he opened his eyes, and then closed them again with a straight face.
The dream was so beautiful that he was reluctant to wake up.
Then a voice came from beside me—"If you're awake, move around a bit, my arm is numb."
Kong Chi: "..."
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Gu Zhixu's face looming large beside him.
He fell silent.
"What, blacked out?" Gu Zhixu smiled gently, but the smile made Kong Chi's scalp tingle.
The events of last night flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, finally settling on the image of him tightly holding Gu Zhixu, not letting her leave.
He slightly curled his legs and coughed lightly, saying, "Yesterday... I drank too much."
"I know."
If it weren't for the fact that he drank too much, if it weren't for the fact that he drank too much to shield himself from further drinking! How could Gu Zhixu have let this happen!
She took a deep breath and said, "I drank too much. Mr. Chi, you don't need to take last night's events to heart. I'll just pretend nothing happened."
After saying that, she pushed Kong Chi away and got up to get out of bed.
But then Kong Chi suddenly spoke up: "No."
Gu Zhixu: "?"
"We can't pretend nothing happened." Kong Chi looked at her.
Gu Zhixu exclaimed "Ah," his eyes clearly saying, "What else?"
Kong Chi said very seriously, "I took advantage of you last night, so I have to take responsibility for it."
Gu Zhixu: "?????????"
She thought she had misheard and asked incredulously, "Responsible? Responsible?"
Kong Chi nodded very seriously.
Gu Zhixu felt that either he or she had gone mad.
Her carefully constructed composure was about to crumble, and she couldn't help but chuckle: "We slept in the same bed last night, but you don't think you did anything to me, do you?"
Kong Chi: "...No, I know we didn't do anything."
Was it her imagination? Gu Zhixu felt that the person seemed to have a strange sense of regret after saying those words.
"Then what do you mean by taking responsibility?! What responsibility do you want to take, and how do you want to take responsibility?!" Gu Zhixu said through gritted teeth.
Kong Chi coughed lightly: "Don't react so strongly. I just feel that I made physical contact with you against your wishes, which made you feel uncomfortable, so I will make it up to you."
How will you be compensated?
"Should I...give you a raise?" Kong Chi tentatively asked.
Gu Zhixu was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Okay, how much are you planning to add, Mr. Chi?"
"Add... ten thousand every month."
Gu Zhixu immediately clapped his hands: "Deal. Mr. Chi, you can always come to me if you've had too much to drink in the future!"
After saying that, she got out of bed, opened the door with a smile, and left.
Kong Chi: "..."
Watching her departing figure, Kong Chi fell silent.
What he was trying to say about taking responsibility wasn't this at all.
But Gu Zhixu's wary look made him change his mind before speaking.
He felt somewhat annoyed, as if if he missed this opportunity, he would never have another chance to say it.
...
For the next period of time, the two lived a peaceful "cohabitation" life.
Gu Zhixu clearly sensed that Kong Chi was treating her differently than before.
Specifically, he stopped letting her work overtime with him and would force her to leave work at the designated time, claiming that her body couldn't withstand the strain of working overtime.
If they happen to be leaving get off work together, he will drive her to the supermarket, where they will buy groceries for the day, and then he will cook dinner together.
In addition, when she goes out to social occasions, Kong Chi almost never lets her drink alcohol or wear high heels.
Most importantly, he would specially grant her leave during her period, allowing her to leave work early in the afternoon.
Gu Zhixu had mentioned many problems along the way, and in the end, they all failed.
Kong Chi was very insistent on these matters, and while Gu Zhixu gradually relaxed under such care, he also felt that some things were slowly getting out of control.
She felt she had to find a place to live and move out of this house as soon as possible.
Some lines of defense are slowly crumbling.
There's an old saying that goes, "Plans can never keep up with changes."
Before Gu Zhixu could even look for a place to live, something happened—Mimi ran away and got lost.
It's strange, really. Ever since Mimi was brought to Kong Chi's house, she's been kept in a cage because Kong Chi is allergic to cat fur.
The cage was a luxurious villa that Kong Chi had painstakingly built for it, enough for it to jump around in. Mimi only showed signs of irritability on the first day it arrived, but in the following days it stopped roaring and howling and instead ate and slept, and seemed to no longer reject the cage.
Gu Zhixu thought she had adapted very well.
Little did anyone know she was holding back a big surprise.
Two weeks later, Mimi pried open the cage lock and escaped while Kong Chi was back opening the door.
According to Kong Chi's later description, Mimi darted straight out the moment the door opened, and Kong Chi didn't even have time to react before all he saw was a blur.
