Chapter 2069: Chapter 2069: Reluctant to Return (36)

When climbing the stairs, Chi Gui refuses to take the elevator and insists on using the stairs.

Chuzheng almost said, ”You go climb by yourself; I want to take the elevator.”

In the dead of night, the stairwell always feels a bit eerie, yet Chi Gui refuses Chuzheng’s support and insists on walking himself.

Chuzheng: ”...”

”Baby.”

Chi Gui suddenly turns his head while standing on the stairs.

The young man lowers his eyes to look at her and says slowly and deliberately, ”I want to kiss you here.”

Chuzheng: ”???” Are you crazy? Is the bed uncomfortable or is the sofa unsatisfactory?

Chuzheng steps up the stairs, and Chi Gui leans to one side, resting against the wall, and tilts his head to look at her.

As Chuzheng approaches, he voluntarily closes his eyes.

Chuzheng comes up and gives him a chop, knocking Chi Gui passed out, and carries him upstairs.

[...]

Chi Gui wakes up from the alcohol, not only feeling his head hurt but also his neck ache.

What did he do last night?

Why does his neck hurt so much?

Chi Gui rubs his neck and gets up. His clothes have already been changed, and after looking at them for a while, he feels they must have been changed by Chuzheng...

There’s no smell of alcohol on him either, she probably helped him take a bath.

Chi Gui: ”...”

Shame steadily climbs his cheeks, and Chi Gui purses his lips, slowly getting up to go to the bathroom.

After washing up, Chi Gui opens the door to go out.

Chuzheng is sitting by the dining table, chin in hand, scrolling her phone, bathed in the sunshine that pours in, coating her brow with a thin layer of golden light.

”Baby.” Chi Gui calls out softly.

Chuzheng doesn’t change her posture, only lifts her eyelids slightly, with a cool demeanor that falls into Chi Gui’s eyes, making her exceptionally alluring.

Chi Gui swallows slightly, sits across from Chuzheng.

”Did you change my clothes?”

”Otherwise?” A drunken Good Person Card is simply a disaster site; could he have some awareness?

”...”

Chi Gui’s cheeks redden: ”Then you saw everything?”

”I even touched it.” Proud!

Chi Gui: ”...”

Seeing Chi Gui’s awkward expression, Chuzheng slightly raises her eyebrows and asks righteously, ”What, I can’t touch it?”

Chi Gui: ”...”

What kind of scandalous words are you saying!!!

”No...” Chi Gui lowers his head, pokes at the breakfast on the table, weakly: ”But taking advantage of someone, baby, that behavior isn’t very nice...”

”Oh.” Chuzheng’s eyes flicker with a hint of expectation: ”What about now?”

”!!!” Chi Gui almost chokes on his saliva and quickly changes the subject: ”Baby, let’s eat breakfast...”

Chi Gui wishes he could go back five minutes; he swears he wouldn’t say anything, breakfast is the most important!

During the summer break, You Zixi often came to Chuzheng’s place. Chi Gui didn’t chase him away, and Chuzheng couldn’t say much.

But why did it end with Qin Qiao and Jian You also coming to play cards? She was a bit puzzled.

”King Bomb!” You Zixi throws out the last two cards: ”Hahaha, I win! Pay up, pay up!!”

”How is it always you!” Qin Qiao is unconvinced: ”Are you cheating?”

”Miss Qin, if I had such skills, I’d go to XX to become a gambling king!” You Zixi looks innocent: ”I’m just lucky, right, Brother Chi.”

Chi Gui throws down his cards: ”I’m not playing.”

”Hey... Brother Chi, don’t be a sore loser!” You Zixi tries to persuade Chi Gui.

Chi Gui has things to do, so Chuzheng ends up taking his place.

Once Chuzheng steps in, You Zixi’s luck is exhausted.

Even if Chuzheng doesn’t win, You Zixi rarely gets a chance.

”Chuzheng is amazing!” Qin Qiao immediately enters fan girl mode.

You Zixi is dejected: ”Miss Chuzheng, what’s happening? Are you here to rob me of my luck!”

”Our Chuzheng is just this good!” Qin Qiao proudly: ”Right, Jian You.”

Jian You nods in agreement.

You Zixi is so mad his face twists.

”You’re here to avenge for Brother Chi, aren’t you!” You Zixi grits his teeth.

Chuzheng remains noncommittal: ”Still playing?”

You Zixi: ”Playing! I don’t believe it!”

They play until after dinner before leaving, and Chuzheng decides to take Chi Gui on vacation that night.

But...

”Chi Gui, what’re you drawing?”

Chi Gui suddenly closes his laptop, turning his head to look at Chuzheng.

”Baby, when did you come in?”

”What’re you drawing?”

”...Nothing...really.” Chi Gui stuffs the laptop into the stack of papers beside him, covers it with a book.

Chuzheng goes over, presses him into his chair, and pulls out his laptop.

Chi Gui hugs the laptop tightly: ”Baby...”

”Let go.”

”...”

Chi Gui swallows, reluctantly releasing his grip while gazing at Chuzheng, hoping to get away with it.

Chuzheng remains unmoved, takes the computer, and opens it.

The screen stops at the moment Chi Gui closed the laptop; though it’s just black and white lines, it’s clear there’s a hint of something inappropriate.

”Chi Gui?”

Chi Gui blinks: ”Plot purposes... plot purposes.” He takes back the laptop, quickly closes it, and stuffs it under the table.

”They’re wearing clothes!!”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng turns his chair to face her: ”I want to discuss the issue of future population development with you.”

”Huh?”

Chi Gui thought Chuzheng would scold him for not doing proper work, but she comes up with this line instead.

This issue... do they really need to discuss it? How is it related to them?

Regarding future population development, after understanding the core issues deeply, Chi Gui develops profound insights and feels this topic can be consistently explored.

Chi Gui boards the plane, yawning: ”Baby...”

”Mm?”

”You’re not tired?”

”...Not tired.” Bosses need no sleep; bosses can nap with their eyes open!

[Why don’t you just say you can get pregnant remotely?]

Chuzheng honestly: This, I can’t do.

[...]

Chi Gui stops speaking, turns his head, feeling a bit withdrawn.

He barely slept last night, and she dragged him to the airport as soon as he turned around.

Chuzheng gets a blanket and covers Chi Gui.

”Where are we going?” Chi Gui asks after his self-imposed isolation, turning his head towards her: ”I didn’t bring my laptop...”

”I brought it. We’re going on vacation.”

”Vacation?” Why did he know nothing about this? She didn’t mention it at all yesterday!

”Mm.” Chuzheng hands him noise-cancelling headphones: ”Take a nap; I’ll wake you when we arrive.”

Chi Gui is exhausted, adjusts his position, and soon falls asleep.

Chuzheng glances at him.

The Good Person Card looks really good.

If only it could be made into a specimen and framed...

[Miss, what are you thinking?] King’s Account is scared, spouting gibberish.

Can’t I just think about it?

[...] Do you think your idea is appropriate?

I’m not doing it.

Thinking is a crime?

Why are you being so nosy?

[...] Thinking isn’t a crime, but who knows when you’ll impulsively... oh no, King’s Account feels suffocated just thinking about it.

Chuzheng can’t bear to act against the Good Person Card; she prefers the living one, with soft and fluffy hair.

So she’s really just idly thinking.

She’s a good person indeed.
