Xu Nanxing thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she slept very well. She didn't have any nightmares all night long. She felt like she was in a warm place, so warm that she didn't want to wake up.
While half asleep and half awake, the warmth suddenly left her body. She gradually woke up and heard a rustling sound behind her. It was Gu Huai who got out of bed.
She turned over and looked towards the sound, only to see a tall figure from behind.
Her eyelids were still a little heavy, and she fell asleep again. She vaguely felt someone covering her with a quilt. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Gu Huaizhi leaning over to tuck the corners of the quilt for her.
"woke up?"
Xu Nanxing responded and looked at Gu Huaizhi.
He must have taken a shower. He looked refreshed and exuded his unique white sandalwood fragrance.
"Why didn't you call me when you got up?" His voice was still a little hoarse, and Xu Nanxing was thinking about how to explain to his sister when he got home.
Gu Huaizhi straightened up and glanced at the wall clock, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can sleep a little longer. When you wait, you can ask the housekeeper to arrange a driver to take you back."
Xu Nanxing sat up and shook his head at him.
"No, I'll go with you." After saying that, he was afraid that Gu Huaizhi would misunderstand, so he explained, "I just don't want to lie to Yufei. Last time I promised to take her to the aquarium, but after that night... "
She didn't finish what she said next, but it could be seen from Gu Huaizhi's expression that he understood what she wanted to say.
"Then go and wash up. Xu Zhinian should be arriving soon."
While washing, Xu Nanxing glanced at the clothes she wore last night. She walked over and picked them up and took a look. Not to mention that they were dripping with water, they were almost worn. There was definitely no way to put them back on.
She washed her face in a hurry and went out.
Gu Huaizhi was leaning on the bedside, flipping through the files on his phone. Xu Nanxing smoothed her messy long hair and said to him,
"My clothes are still wet, are there any clothes you can lend me?"
Gu Huaizhi looked over and saw her with a small, plain face, twirling the ends of her hair, wearing his shirt, standing there with a pair of bare long legs, her porcelain white body exuding a seductive aura.
The ups and downs of his neck rolled up and down, and the look in his eyes was slightly dark.
"Gu Huaizhi?"
Seeing that he didn't reply, Xu Nanxing called him.
Gu Huaizhi lazily stood up and walked towards her. When he passed her, he grabbed her wrist and took her to the cloakroom. He pointed to the innermost wardrobe and said,
"It's all women's clothing. You can find one yourself."
Xu Nanxing originally wanted to say that she wouldn't wear other women's clothes and didn't want to cause any trouble. As a result, she opened the wardrobe and found that it was filled with clothes that Gu Huaizhi had given her before.
She was speechless for a moment and looked at Gu Huaizhi in surprise.
"These clothes?"
"Do you think I took everything back?" Gu Huaizhi said calmly, leaning on the cupboard not far from her, "I will never get back the things I gave away, and I will never send them back."
Xu Nanxing felt sour in her heart. She still remembered that time she had to accompany Gu Yufei to a concert, and the attendance required that she wear an evening dress.
But her mother was seriously ill at that time, and she had to save for living expenses and tuition fees. She had no extra money to buy a dress.
I don’t know what Gu Yufei and Gu Huaizhi said, but one day after class, someone from the counter delivered several clothes with trolley racks, all kinds of clothes, various styles, even winter ones.
She didn't dare to ask for it. She only picked a dress that looked plainer and didn't even try on the rest.
She thought that Gu Huaizhi had returned the remaining clothes, but she didn't expect that those clothes were still in Nanshan Villa.
Pulling away from her memories, Xu Nanxing said nothing and reached out to pick out a skirt. When she was dressed and walked out, she realized that Gu Huaizhi had gone out at some point.
She walked out and saw Gu Huaizhi standing on the balcony making a phone call. When he saw her coming out, he glanced at her and then hung up the phone.
"Let's go, Xu Zhinian has arrived."
Xu Nanxing nodded and followed him outside.
After taking two steps, she remembered something and ran back to the bed to get something before leaving.
Turning down the stairs on the second floor, Xu Nanxing saw Chen Mingxi. She was standing at the door of the kitchen with a sweet smile on her face. She looked normal, but Xu Nanxing felt something strange.
what is it then? She couldn't remember it for a while.
It wasn't until she got into the car that she realized that it was a kind of hostility between females. She had seen it in Lin Qingying's eyes before.
The early morning light shrouded everything lightly, and the dense forest of Nanshan Villa was reflected frame by frame through the car window. In the shadow of the car window, there was also the shadow of Gu Huaizhi.
Xu Nanxing leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the shadow. Her sharp jaw was tightly tensed, and the tense tendons extended along the lines on the side of her neck into the collar. Although she couldn't see it, she could still imagine what was inside. scenery.
For a man with such an appearance and a good family background, it's no wonder that one girl after another falls for him.
Whoever stands in front of such a man will probably be tempted, right?
Xu Zhinian looked at the tense expressions of the two people behind him in the rearview mirror, feeling anxious all the time.
He was waiting outside just now, and when he saw Xu Nanxing coming out behind Gu Huai, he almost went blind. However, judging from the injury on the arm of the man behind him, it was probably another brutal fight last night.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone knocked on the car seat. Xu Zhinian looked at Gu Huaizhi in the rearview mirror.
"Mr. Gu!"
"After seeing me off in a while, I will send Miss Xu home. Then I will go to Morning Star to talk to her about terminating the contract."
Xu Zhinian was actually about to be shocked, but he still responded with a normal expression, "I know, Mr. Gu."
When Xu Nanxing heard them mentioning him, he turned to look at Gu Huaiyi, and saw that he lowered his head and looked at the documents in his hand after he finished giving instructions.
A page of paper is twisted between the index and middle fingers. The meridians on the back of the hand are arched and the palm is bent into a beautiful arc. Except for the burn on the back of the hand, which somewhat ruins the beauty.
She picked up the ointment she had just brought out from the car seat, first applied some on her arm, then squeezed some out on her fingers, reached over and gently pressed it on the back of Gu Huaizhi's hand.
The two of them were sitting a little far apart. She had to stretch her arms to reach his hand, and her body also had to lean forward slightly, which seemed a bit difficult.
There was a chill on the back of his hand. Gu Huaizhi paused while flipping through the documents, glanced at the outstretched arm, then put down the document in his hand and moved his hand in the direction of Xu Nanxing.
A gentle and soft touch slid across the back of the hand, and there was a dense itching. The owner of the hand looked attentive, his long eyelashes blinked slightly from time to time, and his slightly pursed lips raised a small pear dimple, looking confused and helpless. Harmful.
Gu Huaizhi recalled that it was her appearance that made him feel excited.
That time he was drunk and went home in the middle of the night to catch the wind. At night, he developed a high fever. He went out to the study to look for medicine, but saw her in a dizzy state.
She was wearing a cotton nightgown, and her hair was messy and spread over her shoulders, probably because she had gotten up in a hurry. Her timid deer eyes were looking at him intently, and her soft voice made his heart tighten.
"Mr. Gu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing her, he remembered that the housekeeper had mentioned during the day that the nanny had taken leave and Gu Yufei had no one to take care of her, so he temporarily asked her to help take care of Gu Yufei for one night.
He found the medicine and returned to his room.
After taking the medicine and lying down, he still felt chills all over his body and his brain was even more drowsy. There was a gentle knocking sound in his mind. After listening carefully for a while, he realized that it was a knock on the door.
She climbed up with difficulty and opened the door. It was her.
She was holding a bowl of steaming soup. There were two poached eggs floating in the soup and it smelled of ginger.
"Mr. Gu, let me take a look at the antipyretic medicine you just took." After speaking, his face turned red and he explained anxiously, "I didn't mean to look at it, I just saw that you don't look good."
Clumsy and reckless.
Gu Huaizhi leaned against the door, waiting for her next sentence.
She babbled on, but he only remembered her saying, "This is a native method from my hometown. You can try it! My grandma would make it for me whenever I had a fever when I was a child. It's very useful."
He let her bring the bowl of soup into the room, and drank half of the bowl under her expectant eyes.
He lay down again and fell into a deep sleep. I don't know if it was the medicine that had taken effect or the bowl of soup that exerted its energy. In the second half of the night, when he was half asleep and half awake, he felt that he was sweating profusely and felt very uncomfortable. However, he was too lazy to get up and fell into a deep sleep. fall asleep.
After tossing and turning all night, he vaguely noticed a gentle touch on his head. When he opened his eyes, he saw the peach-pink lips and the pear dimple on her mouth.
Seeing him waking up, she was a little panicked. She held the towel and straightened up.
"Mr. Gu, I didn't come in on purpose. You rang the bell. I thought you were..."
He glanced at the button on the bedside and realized that she slept in the nanny's room last night.
He slept until midnight last night and wanted to drink water, but couldn't get up. He pressed the button on the bedside in a daze, but forgot about the nanny's request for leave.
He looked towards her and saw her nervously wringing the towel in her hands, her face flushed, and looking at him uneasily.
Those clear eyes, the way she bowed her head shyly, and the scent of orange blossom lingering in her nose, were all like a fat and bulging koi that had wormed its way into his heart, shaking its head, and could never be pulled out.
After applying the ointment, Xu Nanxing straightened up, twisted the lid of the ointment, and put the ointment into Gu Huaizhi's pocket. After putting it away, he touched the outside uneasily. Then he sat back with satisfaction and said,
"You have to apply medicine on time, otherwise such a big wound will leave scars."
She didn't care at all what Gu Huaizhi scolded her last night.
Gu Huaizhi took out the tube of medicine and threw it to her, "You can keep it for use. I'll ask the secretary to buy it when I land."
Xu Nanxing picked up the other one on the seat and shook it at him.
"Doctor Bai left two."
After saying that, he put the medicine back and asked him, "How many days will it take for you to come back?"
"Maybe a week, are you busy?"
"I want to wait for you to come back and pay the deposit first." After saying this, Xu Nanxing glanced at Gu Huaiyi, with a consultative tone in his voice, "Also, I want to see the real thing."
"You can't see the real thing for the time being. When I come back from my business trip, I can take you to Ruigu Medical to see the AI simulation scene."
Xu Nanxing thought about it for a while and finally asked what was in his heart,
“Can my order be faster?”
"Unlikely." Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless they are family members of Ruigu Pharmaceutical... employees of Ruigu Pharmaceutical have the right of first refusal and can also enjoy corresponding discounts."
Xu Zhinian had already heard everything and probably guessed what Xu Nanxing was going to book.
Hearing Gu Huaizhi say that employees have benefits, he almost laughed out loud. The boss is really serious. He doesn't fool people like this. Which employee is willing to enjoy this discount and get the right of first refusal?
It was obviously just a joke, but the real person behind him seemed to really listen to it, looking thoughtful.
Hey, I'm really worried about Miss Xu...
