Chenxing had never really paid attention to him before. Now, as she became more aware of the man beside her, she realized that he was incredibly good-looking. And it wasn't just his appearance, the kind of beauty that can't be cultivated through facial features alone. His magnetism lay in his power and danger, his nobility and indifference, his inexplicably captivating aura.
Forget Takeshi Kaneshiro, forget Wu Zun. Any idol standing before him would probably pale in comparison, unable to hold a candle to him.
But, inevitably, such a man developed an arrogant chauvinism.
Due to his unattainable heights, he often acted according to his whims without considering the consequences. Such a man probably wouldn't value the worldly pursuit of fame, honor and wealth, would he?
Ye Chenxing once studied physiognomy with others. From his facial features, she concluded that he was definitely someone you wouldn't want to mess with.
Gu Shaocheng merely replied indifferently, "I saved you, and you can't even thank me? Didn't anyone teach you manners?"
She opened her mouth to say, "Thank you for saving me, but why did you save me?"
The moment her words fell, Gu Shaocheng laughed. His laughter was casual and tender, laced with an indistinguishable trace of affection.
"My name is Gu Shaocheng!"
Ye Chenxing was stunned, silently contemplating who Gu Shaocheng was, her lips pressed tightly together, not uttering a word.
She felt conflicted.
She always pushed away strangers, as she had seen too much of reality's harshness and didn't dare to believe she would be favored by God.
She looked at her shoes, one of which was broken. She retreated her legs in embarrassment, not wanting others to see her poverty—it was too embarrassing.
But her slight cover-up had already fallen into Gu Shaocheng's eyes. He felt a pang of heartache and took a deep breath of self-blame. If he had found her earlier, she wouldn't have had to live such a hard life...
Ah, such a poor silly girl, there was no need to hide anything from him because he wouldn't make fun of her.
"Can you tell me why you saved me?" Ye Chenxing summoned up the courage to ask, "Can… can I leave here?"
"Where will you go?"
She was greeted by a rhetorical question, which, unfortunately, left her unable to respond. Lowering her gaze, she remained silent.
Yeah, where could she go?
Now, she was truly homeless. Thinking this, all her bitterness surged forth.
"I have a few friends. If you could lend me your phone to make a few calls, I can find a place to stay."
Gu Shaocheng casually took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one up, and sat down. His casual movements exuded an inherent grace.
"How many days can your friends take you in? After that, how will you live? Tell me."
Ye Chenxing's heart sank.
"Why don't you come with me from now on?"
Ye Chenxing, her heart hammering, looked up in surprise at his words.
A man like him doesn't wait for others to refuse his decisions. Therefore, he didn't bother waiting for her reply and continued, "If you stick with me, no one would dare to bully you again."
"Wait… wait…" Chenxing's mind was in chaos, "Why do you want to help me? I'm of no use, I'm not pretty, I won't… I won't be that kind of woman."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shaocheng's expression turned cold, "Which kind of woman are you referring to?"
Ye Chenxing clenched her teeth, her face beet red, "You know… that kind of woman."
