Chapter 38: Everyone’s Idol (8)
Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day.
Su Jiu with his cleanly bandaged wrist lay on the bed with newly changed bed sheets.
His memory of yesterday’s events were blurry and he could not remember some of it as he felt dizzy at the moment.
But he knew who he was with now.
Su Jiu sat up on the bed and peeled the blanket off before taking a look. ‘Very good, he still had his pants on.’
His pants were a little wet so she had probably dragged him out of the bathtub and then thrown him on the bed.
That meant… she had not done anything to him.
Su Jiu let out a small sigh of relief.
He looked around and found his folded clothes on the side which even had a note on it. ‘Was it sent for dry cleaning?’
Su Jiu quickly wore it. He had not found his shoes thus he could only go out with his bare feet.
The girl sat on the sofa located in the living room and looked at him sideways.
Her eyes were calm as though the quiet spring in the forest. It was cold and clear and exuded aloofness.
The young man stood at the doorstep as his pale face had a vague sense of vigilance. “Who are you?”
“Chuzheng.” Chuzheng paused for a moment before adding on. “Gu Chuzheng.”
Gu Chuzheng…
He had never heard of that name.
Su Jiu asked again. “Why did you bring me here yesterday night?”
Chuzheng looked away and spoke with an indifferent yet sweet voice. “If I didn’t do that, you would have woken up in another person’s embrace.”
Su Jiu was speechless. “…”
He remembered that when he left, he had already felt unwell. It must be caused by the glass of wine Gao Xueyun gave him.
Thinking back, that woman would never let him off so easily.
Previously, although she had cut off all his promotional activities and tried her best to pester him, she had never used such underhanded tactics.
Never had he thought…
Su Jiu glanced at the girl and his cautious eyes had a hint of curiosity. “Aren’t you afraid of offending Gao Xueyun?”
Gao Xueyun was the young lady of the wealthy Gao Family. Even if Gao Xueyun had no real skill, nobody dared to oppose her.
“Gao Xueyun?” Chuzheng reversed the question. “Who is she?”
Su Jiu’s beautiful eyes flashed through a hint of curiosity. ‘She did not know her? Or was she pretending not to know her? Or was she just not scared of Gao Xueyun?’
Su Jiu’s curiosity lasted for an instant before his expression slowly softened. He placed his hands behind his back and walked to Chuzheng’s side. “Thank you.”
The young man’s voice was pleasing to hear and when it landed on the tip of one’s heart, it was as though a feather had brushed past, soft and ticklish.
Chuzheng gave a “Hmm.” The room then went silent for a few seconds before she asked, “Where do you stay?”
Su Jiu gripped his hands tightly behind his back yet his expression was like an innocent white rabbit. He blinked his large eyes and softly asked, “Are you going to send me home?”
Chuzheng nodded her head.
Su Jiu’s red lips curled up slightly as his tone became softer. “You don’t have to go through all that trouble, I can go home myself. You helped me once so if there is a chance in the future, I will not forget to repay your kindness.”
No matter what, he managed to dodge the bullet because of her.
No matter what her motive was, he had to repay her kindness.
“Take your things, let’s go.” Chuzheng stood up and took her things before walking to the entrance.
Su Jiu was speechless. “…”
She was not even listening to him.
In the end. Su Jiu still sat in the car with Chuzheng. She refused to let him talk or find a chance to escape and she forcefully pushed him into the car.
The chauffeur drove for quite a distance before Su Jiu gave an address.
Buzz…
The vibration of the cell phone abruptly rang in the silent car.
Chuzheng fumbled around before fishing out her phone. As Su Jiu saw her taking the call, he cautiously glanced at her.
“I’ve got something on.”
“I will come back in the afternoon.”
“Hmm, Okay.”
Chuzheng looked sideways and met Su Jiu’s sneaky gaze. Su Jiu frantically looked away as though he was a cat caught for doing bad things and turned his attention to outside the car.
“Phone.”
Su Jiu looked at the thin and beautiful hand in front of him and instinctively took out his phone, but his phone had already shut down.
He looked towards Chuzheng and innocently said, “It’s out of battery…”
Chuzheng reached over and took the phone. Su Jiu wanted to snatch it back, but was frightened off by Chuzheng’s cold demeanor.
Chuzheng pressed on the phone’s power button and there was a reminder of low battery, but it could still be sustained for a while. Following that, it was the message notification ring which only stopped after a while.
She entered her cell phone number into his phone before throwing his phone back to him. Su Jiu clumsily caught his phone and the screen showed a new contact name – Chuzheng.
The first letter was C and thus she was placed first in his contact list. In the next second, the cell phone vibrated and shut down.
A cold voice rang beside him. “You can call me when you’re in trouble.”
Su Jiu bit down his lips and asked in a deep voice. “What do you want to do to me?”
“To make you think that I’m your friend.” ‘This stupid set-up! Don’t ever let her have something on bastard because if she does, she would kill it!’
It made the system so afraid! I must watch my tail!’
Su Jiu was stunned. “…” ‘A friend?’ His hazy memory from yesterday gushed up. Although she had not done anything to him, her actions had not seemed friendly either.
But he had dared not to ask too much.
Su Jiu’s living area was not considered good as it was not even considered as a neighborhood.
“Thank you for sending me home.” Su Jiu had a warm expression with a lovely voice which was totally different from yesterday.
Chuzheng was shocked.
‘Was this weakling bipolar?’
“You’re welcome.”
“Su Jiu!”
A coquettish voice rang. It belonged to the woman wearing a red skirt and high heels who aggressively walked over.
The woman was not just anyone. She was Gao Xueyun who had not slept for a night.
Gao Xueyun’s expression was ugly as she pointed at Chuzheng. “Were you together with her last night?”
Su Jiu glanced at Chuzheng before looking at Gao Xueyun and nodded his head. “Hmm.”
He swiftly lowered his head and his soft hair swept a beautiful arc in the air which covered the darkness in his eyes.
Gao Xueyun’s sulky expression immediately became dark as she shot a sharp glare at Chuzheng.
She was very clear about the effects of the drug. These two people were together last night so what kind of outcome would it be?
The person she had pursued for so long had fallen into the hands of another! How could Gao Xueyun let this matter off!
“Su Jiu, come here!” Gao Xueyun ordered Su Jiu as she suppressed her anger.
“Go up.” Chuzheng motioned at him to proceed upstairs.
Su Jiu’s heart dropped. He had purposely said that… Didn’t she realize?
Or maybe she realized but did not care?
Su Jiu gritted his teeth. He did not know her motive either so he would just let both of them fight each other.
With that thought in mind, Su Jiu walked upstairs.
Gao Xueyun’s beautiful eyes glared at him and she caught up with him to stop him.
“Ah!”
Su Jiu turned back and saw Chuzheng gripping Gao Xueyun’s wrists before twisting it with an arc. He froze slightly.
“Go up.”
Su Jiu bit down his lips and swiftly proceeded upstairs.
In his room, he hesitantly stood before the window and looked down.
He saw Chuzheng letting go of Gao Xueyun while Gao Xueyun wanted to hit her, but was kicked by Chuzheng instead.
The girl walked towards Gao Xueyun before bending down and told her something. Gao Xueyun’s angry and resentful eyes glared at her.
But Chuzheng did not care and she stepped back as she looked coldly at Gao Xueyun.
Gao Xueyun pathetically stood up and pointed at her while saying a few sentences before she swiftly got in the car and drove it towards Chuzheng.
Gao Xueyun was probably just trying to scare her yet who knew the girl stood there.
Seeing that, Gao Xueyun stepped on the accelerator and she looked as though she was going to hit the girl.
Yet when the girl was going to be hit by the car, she dodged to the side and her shirt flew up as the car passed by her.
Gao Xueyun could not stop her car in time and bumped into the utility pole behind her.
The utility pole plunged down and the top of the car bent down.
