Of course, people would gossip about Gu Shichu, a single woman, taking in a single man. It was only after she agreed to Ji Mingtao that she remembered that the social atmosphere today is not as open as it will be a few decades later. Moreover, the uncles and aunts in the neighborhood all have sharp eyes. Not to mention bringing a grown man home, even if you bring a male cat home, they will tell you a story.
"I suddenly remembered that the empty room in my house has been converted into a study. Why don't I ask the landlord? He seemed to have said last time that there is still one house that has not been rented out. I'll ask for you and see if I can rent that one." Gu Shichu said to Ji Mingtao with a wry smile. Fortunately, there was still one house that she bought that had not been rented out, so she could lend it to him.
Ji Mingtao glanced at her, but did not expose her poor excuse. He nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Gu Shichu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll come back to see you after I've asked you?"
"Okay, try to be quick." Ji Mingtao said.
Gu Shichu quickly agreed.
A day later, Gu Shichu told Ji Mingtao that there was a vacant room available for rent to him, and Ji Mingtao moved in very quickly. Gu Shichu thought that he was in a hurry to move out because he was bored living in his office.
Afterwards, Ji Mingtao gave her a set of skin care products as a gift, saying it was to thank her for helping him find a house. Gu Shichu did not refuse, after all, she did contribute.
Ever since Ji Mingtao started his career in Beijing, Gu Shichu could see him from time to time, but most of the time they met on the road when they went out, because the houses they lived in were only separated by a street, so it was possible for Gu Shichu to see him in the morning when he went to school and Ji Mingtao to work.
Just when Gu Shichu thought that they would slowly become ordinary fellow villagers drifting in Beijing, Ji Mingtao suddenly found her again because of a drunken incident.
That night, Gu Shichu was translating a document at home when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
When she opened the door, she saw Ji Mingtao, who was dressed in formal attire. Ji Mingtao was tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, a perfect clothes hanger. He looked particularly good in the formal attire, just like a model in a magazine.
He reeked of alcohol and was leaning against the door frame, his eyes watery and confused, obviously drunk.
"Gu Shichu... you cruel woman..." As soon as he saw Gu Shichu opening the door, his eyes immediately turned red. He spoke harsh words in a low voice with a tone full of grievance, and staggered to reach out and grab Gu Shichu.
Seeing that he was staggering when walking, Gu Shichu had to reach out to support him. He leaned against Gu Shichu suddenly, pressing Gu Shichu so hard that she almost couldn't hold him steady.
"You are so cruel... you abandoned me... Gu Shichu... you have no heart..." Ji Mingtao muttered to himself as he stared at Gu Shichu hatefully with his bloodshot eyes.
Gu Shichu helped the drunkard into the living room, threw him on the sofa, and said, "You are amazing. You came to my house to act crazy even though you were drunk!"
Ji Mingtao didn't listen to her at all. He just stared at Gu Shichu with red eyes and said drunkenly: "Heartless woman... I won't let you go..."
Gu Shichu rolled her eyes. She didn't expect that Ji Mingtao seemed to have no objection to her leaving him on the surface, but had so many complaints in private. It seemed that he didn't want to let her go.
"Then why don't you let me go?" Gu Shichu asked him as he poured him a glass of water, held his head and fed him water.
Before Ji Mingtao could say anything, she poured a glass of water into his mouth. However, water was not a hangover remedy and obviously did not sober him up. He grabbed Gu Shichu's hand and would not let her leave, holding her tightly.
"Don't even think about leaving me again. I won't give you another chance to abandon me..." Ji Mingtao held Gu Shichu down, lowered his head, got close to Gu Shichu's neck, and threatened in a low voice while gritting his teeth.
His expression was vicious at this moment, and Gu Shichu thought for a moment that he was not drunk at all, but his next action immediately dispelled her idea, because Ji Mingtao bit her neck.
Gu Shichu let out a scream and quickly grabbed his hair to pull him away, but Ji Mingtao refused to let go and kept biting the piece of flesh on Gu Shichu's neck and rubbing it a few times. Fortunately, he remembered not to use too much force, otherwise Gu Shichu would have lost a piece of flesh to him.
He finally let go after a while. Gu Shichu was so angry that his head felt dizzy, and he impulsively opened his mouth and bit his Adam's apple. This was really a tooth for a tooth.
She probably didn't expect that a man at this time couldn't stand teasing. Her action was to tease him. A drunk man would not reason with her. Ji Mingtao's eyes, which were originally red, turned green in an instant, and the previous resentment and grievance suddenly turned into another impulse.
"Baby, you were the one who provoked me first." Having said that, Ji Mingtao immediately turned over and pushed Gu Shichu down on the sofa, then kissed her.
When dry wood meets raging fire, they are a perfect match for each other. Moreover, they have had a few years of intimacy and tacit understanding. Ji Mingtao's kiss instantly ignited the memory of their bodies...
They tossed and turned from the sofa to the bathroom and then to the bedroom until midnight when they finally calmed down.
After it was over, Gu Shichu quickly fell into a deep sleep, while Ji Mingtao hugged the woman in his arms and slightly curled the corners of his lips.
Gu Shichu didn't wake up until almost noon the next day. She felt something strange in her body and thought about what happened last night. She silently stroked her forehead and sighed. She was indeed obsessed with lust and fell into Ji Mingtao's trap!
That's right, she already knew that Ji Mingtao got drunk on purpose to come to her last night. It was obvious that he had bad intentions and was deliberately looking for her to have sex after drinking. Unfortunately, she was not good enough in judgment and fell into Ji Mingtao's beauty trap.
"Are you up? I just made some chicken and mushroom porridge. Come and have some after you wash up." Ji Mingtao, wearing an apron and smiling slightly, looked like a good husband and wife, and said to Gu Shichu.
"You seem to be very comfortable. You even cook porridge in my house." Gu Shichu said sarcastically.
"You were too tired last night, so I naturally couldn't let you get up hungry." Ji Mingtao didn't blush at all.
Gu Shichu rolled her eyes. The matter was done and she couldn't turn back time, so she had to acquiesce to his actions in this room to avoid being regarded as a woman who heartlessly abandoned him, and then he would settle the score with her again for "telling the truth after drinking".
"You did it on purpose last night, didn't you?" Gu Shichu asked Ji Mingtao while drinking chicken and mushroom porridge.
Ji Mingtao looked at her sideways: "What does it matter if it was intentional or not? Didn't you enjoy it last night? If you did, don't pursue it."
"What do you mean? Do you want to restore our previous relationship with me?" Gu Shichu paused, somewhat understanding his plan.
Ji Mingtao looked at her steadily: "Isn't it good? You and I are both single, and there is no problem of being in different places."
After listening to this, Gu Shichu actually started to think about it carefully.
