When Xu Nanxing woke up, she felt a splitting headache and her throat hurt like a knife. She rubbed her sore face and then gradually woke up.
There was a heavy weight on her waist, and she moved a little, wanting to sit up and take a look, but a hand from behind reached out to her face and touched it gently.
She turned around in panic and saw a familiar face.
He lifted up the quilt and looked at himself. He was still wearing the bathrobe from last night, but he could clearly feel that he had changed into underwear.
She no longer remembers what happened last night. She only remembers that she slapped Gu Huai and then went to him to ask for clothes. She also forgot when she entered the bedroom and slept on the same bed with him. Clean and tidy.
There was something strange on her forehead, so she touched it and pulled off an antipyretic patch.
She hesitated for a long time and asked,
"You and I..."
Gu Huaizhi snorted softly, and a low hoarse voice came over,
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in sick women."
After saying that, the person had already lifted the quilt and went to the bathroom.
Xu Nanxing sat stunned for a long time, then turned over and got out of bed.
Standing on the ground, she remembered that nothing happened after borrowing clothes last night. Now that she had nothing to wear, she stood there and waited for Gu Huaizhi to come out.
The sound of running water stopped and the bathroom door opened. She moved her face to the side, but the image of Gu Huaizhi without clothes last night flashed in her mind, strong and seductive.
Gu Huaizhi's eyes swept over her bare feet, the tips of her toes curled slightly unconsciously, and the light blue meridians snaked upward from the fingertips, extended to the slender calves, and finally disappeared upward into the bathrobe.
Feeling his gaze, Xu Nanxing felt anxious and uneasy like a fish waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping board, and her toes curled up tighter and tighter.
Gu Huaizhi frowned, turned around and went out.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xu Nanxing sat dejectedly on the edge of the bed, feeling lost.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of opening the door. She turned around and saw Gu Huaizhi holding a bag in his hand, throwing it at her feet, and then entered the cloakroom.
She picked up the bag and took a look. Inside was a long skirt and a piece of underwear.
The door of the cloakroom was closed, and the vague figures inside could be seen through the frosted glass. Xu Nanxing glanced at it, then took off her bathrobe, picked up her underwear and put them on. When she lowered her head to fasten the buckle, she glanced at her underwear. It should be a set with underwear.
Although her memory of last night was vague, she could still picture herself in a state of embarrassment.
Gu Huaizhi was a mysophobic person, so he didn't know how disgusted he should be when he saw her appearance last night.
She still remembered that it was raining heavily when she went to Nanshan Villa for the first time. She borrowed an umbrella from him. The second time she went there, she returned the umbrella, but she saw the umbrella in the garbage station near Nanshan Villa.
The reason why she could recognize the umbrella was because the handle of the umbrella was engraved with the nameplate of Ruigu Medicine.
At that moment, she completely understood that she and him were separated by mountains and seas.
Fumbling with her fingers on the buckles, she fastened the buttons of her underwear one by one. The door behind her clicked, and she put on the skirt beside the bed without looking back.
The zipper behind her was a bit difficult to pull. She tried several angles but failed to pull the zipper into position. The footsteps behind her gradually approached, and she let go of her hand. Warm fingertips brushed across her back, and a tingling sensation left her. The warmth that passed through him spread throughout his body.
A shallow breath came from behind. Xu Nanxing couldn't bear the torture and wanted to say something, but the warmth left quickly, and then the footsteps sounded again.
"I have a meeting in the morning, you still have half an hour."
Xu Nanxing hurriedly ran to the bathroom. There was a new toothbrush on the counter. She took it apart and brushed her teeth, then washed her face in a hurry, gathered her hair and went downstairs.
Gu Huaizhi was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper when he saw her going downstairs and pointing to the porridge on the coffee table.
"Eat something, and take the medicine after you're done."
Xu Nanxing walked over and saw three or two pills lying next to the porridge bowl.
The sound of newspaper pages turning was the only sound in the room. Xu Nanxing stirred the porridge in the bowl, but had no desire to eat. Two voices kept arguing in her heart, making her uneasy.
One asked her why she didn't explain it to him?
One asked her what you wanted to explain. Didn't you have any selfish intentions in the first place?
Her heart was so full that she wanted to say a lot of things, but she didn't know where to start.
"Put it down if you don't want to take it!" Gu Huaizhi threw the newspaper in his hand on the coffee table, looked at his watch, "Take the medicine, Xu Zhinian is coming!"
Xu Nanxing was startled and saw his eyebrows furrowed, obviously unhappy.
She lowered her head and took two quick bites, then picked up the water and drank the medicine.
When Gu Huaizhi saw that she had finished taking the medicine, he stood up and wanted to leave.
Xu Nanxing put down the water glass, wiped the water stains around his mouth, and called him,
"Can we chat for a few words?"
Gu Huaizhi paused for a few seconds, then moved back and sat on the sofa, spreading his long legs and resting his arms on his legs. He said in an indescribable casual manner, "Tell me, what do you want to say?"
Xu Nanxing pondered for a moment before speaking,
"I know it's too late to say sorry after so long, but I still owe you an apology..."
"Don't say it if you know it's too late!" Gu Huaizhi sneered, "You don't mean to say that you regret it now and want to say sorry to me, do you?"
"You..." Xu Nanxing closed his eyes, "Do you have to treat me so meanly?"
"Am I mean?..." Gu Huaizhi straightened his cufflinks and looked directly at Xu Nanxing, "Xu Nanxing, are you serious?... You think I can't do anything to you, right?... Or do you think I am incapable of blocking you?..."
"Xu Nanxing, I once told you that I hate others deceiving me the most. You treated me like that at the beginning and now like this, I thought I was tolerant enough to you."
Xu Nanxing knew that he was telling the truth. "Dreams" was a living example. If he really wanted to kill her, he wouldn't have to do it himself. Naturally, there would be a lot of people willing to stand up for him.
No matter how much she explained now, it would seem too artificial, but she still didn't want him to misunderstand her again.
"I had my own reasons at the beginning." Xu Nanxing said dryly. Xu Nanxing also felt that this statement was too green tea, but this is the fact. If it weren't for her mother's illness and the urgent need for money, Shen Ruzhen promised to help her provide the latest lung cancer drugs. Clinical trial quota, how could she do that?
"Is the money your problem?" Gu Huaizhi leaned against the back of the sofa and looked at the piano in the corner. His tone gradually became colder, "Why didn't you tell me you wanted the money?"
Such a light word broke all Xu Nanxing's strength.
Right, why not go find him? How was she going to tell him how much she wanted to get close to him, but she was too inferior to approach him? How was she going to ask him for such a large sum of money? What is your identity?
My heart felt so clogged that I couldn't bear it too much.
"You asked me why I didn't tell you if I wanted money?"
Her nose became sore and the corners of her eyes gradually became wet. She sniffed and said with some self-deprecation, "What is our relationship? An ordinary woman borrows money from a man in upper class society? A tutor borrows money from her employer, and That's a lot of money? Tell me, what would you think of me?"
"You will think of me as one of those women who are greedy for vanity and want to live a good life relying on men. You will think that I can't recognize my own position even if I gain a little respect from you!"
Gu Huaizhi looked at her, with a hint of impatience in his brows. He pinched the center of his brows.
"So, you have to agree to Shen Ruzhen to do such a thing?"
"So, you think you still expect me to forgive you after you did something like that?"
"No!" Xu Nanxing shook his head, his voice choked with sobs.
"I know it's too much for you to forgive me, I just..."
She couldn't say the rest. Gu Huaizhi looked at her with obvious mockery, and the torment in her heart seemed to break through the prison.
The caged beast scratched her, causing pain all over her internal organs.
"What else do you want to say?" Gu Huaizhi had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, "Do you still want to say that I hope I won't lose trust in the world because of you, and that I can find someone who treats me well? A woman who wants to live her life well, you still hope that I can forget your deception and live my own life?"
Xu Nanxing froze there, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Gu Huaizhi, why do you think of me so badly?"
"Okay, you are just afraid that I will ruin your future and make you lose the means to make money." Gu Huaizhi stood up, straightened his clothes, and said slowly, "But since you did it, you have to bear the consequences. .”
"I can let you go." He looked at Xu Nanxing and saw a hint of joy in her eyes, "Go back to Nanshan Villa and continue to be Yu Fei's tutor, and then sign the agency contract to the Gu family..."
Changing the subject, he continued, "Muyu Media down below just lacks an artist like you."
Xu Nanxing was suddenly startled, and her tears became even more intense.
Muyu Media is a media company that Gu only acquired last year. In the eyes of outsiders, it is just a new media company, but people in the circle know that it is just a public relations company prepared by Gu for business cooperation.
Muyu Media approached her before she signed the contract with Liu Lili, but at that time she did not want to take the new media route, so she signed the contract with Liu Lili. Later, she mentioned this matter when chatting with Liu Lili, and Liu Lili told her the unsavory things about Muyu Media.
Gu Huaizhi said he would let her go, but signing with Muyu Media made it clear that he would not give her a way to survive. Once she agreed, she would never be able to stand out in this circle again.
It was almost impossible for her to make money openly in the acting industry.
Wiping the tears on her face, she trembled her lips and asked him word by word,
"You have to humiliate me like this, don't you?"
"Yes!" Gu Huaizhi glanced at his watch, "I gave you a chance last night, but you gave up... You go back and think about it!... My time is up and it's time to leave. I can follow your path."
After saying that, the person was already walking towards the door.
"Gu Huaizhi, what do you want me to consider?" Xu Nanxing ran over, stopped him, and gave him a hard push, "You said you gave me a chance? Should I accept it with a smile and make an offer? I'll sleep with you for one night, and then you and I will be fine, and you won't pursue the matter anymore? Or should I accept your suggestion and work as a public relations girl for the company you mentioned to make up for the mistakes I made? "
Gu Huaizhi nodded, his words filled with chills, "You understand correctly!"
There was a "pop" sound.
"You're an asshole!" Xu Nanxing let her hot tears fall down, feeling extremely embarrassed and angry. "I was wrong! My mistake was that I shouldn't have messed with you, and I shouldn't have had any illusions about people like you!"
After saying that, people rushed out of the door.
