Almost everything in Gu Zechuan's room was white in colour. From the curtains to the bed sheets, the carpet and the slippers; even the clothes that he was wearing at the moment. The silk fabric glowed softly under the light and one could vaguely see the strong pectoral muscles on his slightly exposed chest. He sat upright and stared at her with his dark eyes that were like whirlpools.
The young girl's gaze fell on the man's white and bony hand and she asked in confusion, "Second young master Gu's hands don't look like they can't hold the chopsticks."
"I can't carry them." The man answered quickly as his hands rested lightly on the armrests. He had no intention of hiding them. He was lying through openly without blushing or his heart pacing.
He just wanted her to feed him. She did not know what he was up to. Song Qingli squinted her eyes and looked at him in suspicion without any hesitation while standing right in front of him. In the end, she gave up struggling. "Sure, I'll feed you."
"I'll have to trouble you then."
The young girl put down the pile of documents in her hand and picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks. Her hand was in the air for a long time but the man did not open his mouth.
"Mr. Gu, you don't look hungry." Song Qingli frowned slightly. She didn't have time for him to waste as she still had to go back to her room to read her script. Just as she pulled back her hand, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.
His palm was so big that it completely wrapped around her wrist. He also had a very high body temperature and he was so warm that it could burn the back of the young girl's hand. The man's dark eyes looked at her faintly and he brought her hand to his mouth.
But…. he was strong enough to pull her hands and he didn't have the strength to pick up the chopsticks?
She was speechless.
After eating half a bowl of dumplings, Song Qingli really couldn't stand the way he looked at her, like a dog looking at a meat bun. "I'm worried that you may not be able to sleep later tonight if you ate too much."
"Just feed me. Whether or not I can fall asleep would be my problem."
The young girl was holding onto the plate with three dumplings left. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly as she picked up another dumpling. Before Gu Zechuan could finish chewing, she stuffed another one into his mouth.
The chopsticks pried open the man's teeth, forcing Gu Zechuan to stop chewing. His cheeks puffed up and he looked at her coldly with his dark eyes.
Did she hate feeding him that much?
Song Qingli was secretly pleased. 'If you have the ability, then jump up and hit me but I don't think you can jump. Hahahahaha ...'
The girl picked up the last dumpling and brought it close to the man's lips. He was like a beautiful hamster with his cheeks full of nuts but he refused to chew or open his mouth.
"Open your mouth, hubby. It's the last one. You have to be a good boy..." This was Song Qingli trying to be funny. She was having fun by pranking him since it was his fault for forcing her here to feed him dumplings for no reason.
When the young girl repeatedly called him 'hubby' in a soft voice, the man began to slowly chew. For some reason, there was a trace of ridicule in his eyes but he didn't seem angry from being played.
This made Song Qingli flustered a little. She was guessing that this bastard man wouldn't do anything bad, right?
After dealing with Gu Zechuan, it was already past midnight when Song Qingli returned to her room. She felt tired when she returned to her room after a long day.
She went to the bathroom to fill a pool of water and wanted to take a hot bath to get rid of her fatigue before having a good night's sleep. However, she fell asleep in the water after being in it for less than five minutes.
Perhaps she was too tired from that day, she actually had a dream. She dreamed that she had fallen from the sky into the arms of the superstar Xiao Yi.
They were surrounded by thick fog but only his face could be seen clearly. The man's eyes were full of stars and they were intoxicating. His arms were very steady as he held her in his arms like he was holding a child. She felt safe in his arms.
In her dream, Xiao Yi looked down at her and called her name affectionately, "Qingli."
The young girl laughed in her dream, biting her lower lip shyly.
In the midst of the darkness, the black figure who carried Song Qingli out of the bathroom was stunned.
"I'll definitely catch up to you. Xiao Yi, wait for me." The young girl mumbled in her sleep.
The black shadow stood by the bed with the young girl in his arms; frozen for a long time, as if he was fixed in place. Although only the outline could be seen, one could feel the cold aura emitted by the black shadow.
"Hmm ... It's cold ..." Just as the girl muttered that she was feeling cold, the black shadow stuffed her under the thin blanket.
At four o 'clock in the morning, the young girl woke up in a daze. The window in her line of sight was filled with the silver glow of the moon, which was beautiful and bright.
However, it felt a little strange.
Wasn't she in the bathroom?
Song Qingli instantly felt as if her brain had been struck by lightning. She sat up from the bed abruptly and the thin blanket slid off her body. She was not wearing anything underneath it.
"Did I walk back to bed on my own?" The girl felt uneasy. She had never had the habit of sleepwalking but she had indeed lost her memory. She could not remember how she had walked from the bathroom to the bed.
She turned on the bedside lamp and stared at the door cautiously.
She definitely did not walk from the bathroom to the bed by herself. She did not have the habit of sleepwalking.
Song Qingli took another look at the door. Then, she got out of bed, wrapped in the bedsheets, and slowly walked to the door. Her heart was beating quickly. Then, she held the door handle gently and pressed it down.
It wasn't locked!
The young girl took a step back. Someone had entered her room. There was definitely someone else that came into her room. Otherwise, why wasn't the door locked from the inside? She would have never fallen asleep without locking her door. This was a habit of hers.
"Thief, another thief!" At the thought of this, Song Qingli had goosebumps all over her body. She fell back onto the bed and felt a little scared. Did that thief do anything to her during the parts where her memories went missing?
She wasn't wearing anything and so he must have seen everything.
Did he do anything?
The girl did not feel any discomfort all over her body.
But, because of this incident, Song Qingli no longer felt sleepy. She put on some clothes and sat on the sofa by the window. She wrapped herself tightly with the thin blanket and looked at the light outside the window.
She held the phone in her hand. She wanted to call her father but it was too early in the morning. She was afraid of disturbing his sleep so she gave up. Moreover, it was not appropriate to tell him this.
So, the girl opened Google and searched: [ how to deal with the rapist? ]
[ A: If he's handsome, I'll give in half-heartedly. If he's not handsome, I'll just fight him with a small knife. ]
The young girl was furious as she said, "Shameless."
[ B: Put on a fight. ]
The girl hesitated, thinking that this wasn't a smart choice.
[ C: Sleep next to another man. An act of self-defense. ]
The young girl was stunned for a moment before saying, "This sounds like a good idea."
She thought about it and felt that if she found a man to share the bed with, she could completely avoid the rapist but where could she find this man?
Wouldn't it be too fake to buy a plastic doll online?
At her age, it would probably be difficult to find a man to share a bed with.
If there was a man whom she could sleep with legally, all of these would no longer be a problem.
The sunlight outside the window penetrated through the thin mist. The young girl's face was gloomy and she felt embarassed. There were dark circles under her eyes and she looked worried. When she went downstairs to eat, she was in a daze.
Uncle Jin stood by the side, looking confused. The maidservant served breakfast, and Xu Hao, whom she had not seen for two days, stood at the table like a mummy.
"Which pharaoh's tomb did you come out from?" Song Qingli held her chin and looked at Xu Hao.
Xu Hao blinked and opened his mouth with great effort. "I'm fine now. I can take care of the second young master."
The young girl's mouth twitched. This was called fine? This man couldn't even stand straight.
Gu Zechuan was pushed into the dining room. His eyes were emotionless and even had a hint of coldness.
Song Qingli stared at him intently. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed in her eyes and her entire being seemed to be lit up. She suddenly said, "Hubby, I'm sleeping with you tonight."
If she wanted to find a man who could guarantee her safety and protect her, Gu Zechuan was the one.
