After the meal, Chuzheng sent Su Jiu home. However, when they reached Su Jiu’s condominium, they realized that there was a whole crowd of reporters waiting at the condominium.

She drove to the other side, but it was also filled with reporters.

Many celebrities also lived in that condominium and so, they did not know who these reporters came for, not forgetting to mention their massive presence.

However, if Su Jiu were to go out now, he definitely would not be able to escape them.

Moreover, the news about him and Chuzheng being an item had been grabbing the headlines for the past few days. If the reporters saw him, it would be as though a wild dog had seen a piece of fat, juicy meat and they would not willingly let him go.

Chuzheng wanted to get out of the car, but her wrist was grabbed by Su Jiu. “President Gu, are you just going to go down amidst this situation?”

“What else can I do? Change an outfit?” Chuzheng looked at the outfit she was wearing and felt that nothing was wrong with it.

Su Jiu: “…” ‘Things will only get worse if you change your clothes.’

“President Gu, it is filled with reporters outside and they are not easily dealt with.” Su Jiu’s eyelashes wavered slightly. “We should wait for a while.”

Chuzheng took a look outside. ‘I can kill those people in a few minutes, what’s the use of waiting?!’

Su Jiu refused to let Chuzheng go while he gave her a pleading look.

Chuzheng retracted her hand from the car door handle and withdrew her hand out of Su Jiu’s grip. She then crossed her arms and looked at the reporters with her face devoid of expression.

Su Jiu propped his chin while he stared at Chuzheng. There was a lovely and gentle smile plastered on his face.

One hour later, the reporters were still standing outside the condominium.

Two hours later…

Three hours later…

Su Jiu asked in a soft voice, “President Gu, I definitely cannot go home today. How about you take me in for the night?”

“Why should I?” Chuzheng gave him a side-look.

Su Jiu was a little stunned, but after a few seconds, he slowly replied, “Isn’t President Gu my boss?”

“…” ‘I am your boss but I am not your mom! Why should I take you in for the night?!’

Su Jiu blinked his eyes. It was as though there were sparkles in his pitch-black eyes shining brightly. “If President Gu takes me in, perhaps I will think that President Gu is a friend.”

Chuzheng: “…”

Chuzheng remained silent for a minute before starting the car and they left the condominium.

Su Jiu’s lips curled up while he lowered his hand and deleted a message on his phone. The strands of hair that fell covered the hint of craftiness in his eyes.

Chuzheng moved houses and was living in a villa now. The house was ridiculously big however, it was pretty empty inside. It looked as though it was a villa that had just finished renovations—deserted and solemn.

It was just like her.

“Does President Gu live alone?”

“Hmm.”

“The house is so big, don’t you feel lonely?” asked Su Jiu curiously.

“It’s still okay.”

“…”

Chuzheng let Su Jiu pick his own room as she allowed him to sleep in whichever room he liked. In the end, Su Jiu pointed at a door that was more unique than the rest of the room doors.

It was the master bedroom and Chuzheng only nodded before entering the room beside it.

Su Jiu was shocked. “…”

‘She’s just going to leave me like this?’

Su Jiu pushed open the door to the master bedroom. There were a few more things inside and with one look, one could tell that somebody lived there before.

Su Jiu looked at the surroundings of the room and saw a drama script on the table. His fingers slid past the cover of the script before he raised his hand slowly and placed it before his chest while his fingernails pressed on his chest.

Chuzheng returned to her room and talked about today’s matters to the acquisition team. She then washed up and went to bed.

Boom——

Pitter-patter——

A peal of thunder broke the silence in the night while the lightning brightened up the room.

Chuzheng turned in her bed and blurrily saw a figure standing in her room. She sat up in a second. ‘Oh my god, what the hell!’

Just as she sat up, the figure suddenly pounced forward.

Chuzheng instinctively wrapped her fingers around the person’s neck and pinned the person down on the bed.

“President… Gu?” Chuzheng heard a familiar voice.

Boom——

Using the light from the lightning, Chuzheng recognized the person she was choking. His face was as pale as a white bedsheet and his eyes seemed as if there was a layer of mist masking it.

‘This weakling again?!’

“What are you doing?” ‘Why didn’t you want to sleep on your bed and even came to my room? Are you trying to scare me to death? I am kind enough to take you in for the night yet this is how you repay me!’

Su Jiu pointed at his neck and Chuzheng lessened her grip before retracting her hands eventually. She then turned on the lights.

Su Jiu suddenly pulled Chuzheng into a hug and his body seemed to be trembling. “President Gu, I’m scared.”

“Oh, I am not scared.” ‘It’s just a thunderclap. What’s there to be scared of?’

“…”

Chuzheng tried to escape from his grip, but Su Jiu hugged her too tightly and so, she could not push him away.

The peal of thunder became louder and Su Jiu trembled even harder. Chuzheng took a glance at his face and realized his face was as pale as a ghost. It did not look as if he was acting.

Chuzheng: “…”

Su Jiu said in a stuffy voice, “President Gu, can I sleep with you?”

“No.”

“…But I’m scared.”

Chuzheng decided to put up with him. “Sleep on the floor.”

Su Jiu did not dare to push his luck further and nodded his head. Chuzheng made him let go of her. She then arranged the mattress for him and tucked him in.

Su Jiu curled himself into a ball and when he saw Chuzheng turning off the lights, he immediately pleaded, “President Gu, can you please not turn off the lights?”

Chuzheng: “…” ‘Why does he have so many problems?’

Brrr——

The lights in the room suddenly darkened.

Chuzheng looked out the window and realized that there was a sea of darkness outside. There was not even a single spark of light. ‘Is there a blackout?’

There was such a big thunderstorm so it was normal for a blackout to happen.

Well, one could not blame her for a blackout.

Chuzheng wanted to go to bed when the person on the floor climbed onto her bed. He went under her blankets and hugged her tightly.

Chuzheng: “…”

‘Can I kill him?’

[If Little miss wishes to repeat this universe again, I have no opinions on that~]

Chuzheng: “…” ‘Who wants to do this all over again?’

Chuzheng closed her eyes and silently counted to three in her heart. After that, she lay down on her bed and just let Su Jiu hug her like an octopus.

Chuzheng caressed Su Jiu’s soft hair and she felt better.

‘Hmm… Since you came up to me yourself, I am going to take this chance to touch your hair.’

She twisted his hair carefully, but Su Jiu did not give any reaction. Chuzheng then boldly pulled on his hair.

Su Jiu: “…” ‘What does she take me for?’

He had already offered himself to her, but she did not even seem to care. She even touched his hair and head. ‘What does she mean?’

Su Jiu felt that the hand on his head slowly weakened and he carefully raised his head.

Under the weak presence of the light, he could only see a lady’s contour.

Su Jiu held his breath and waited for a while. He raised his hand and carefully touched her cheeks. It was more smooth and soft than he thought it would be and felt just like satin.

Su Jiu’s finger carefully moved, but it was caught by someone’s hands in the next second. He heard a mumble in his ear, “Cut it out.”

Su Jiu’s heart pounded against his chest, but the girl just caressed his hair and did not move anymore.

Su Jiu was shocked. “…”

She took him for a cat!

Su Jiu pouted, but he did not move anymore as he was afraid he would wake her up.

Next to his ear was her steady and peaceful heartbeat. This was the first time Su Jiu felt warmth.

He had always been living alone ever since he was young… After he went into the entertainment industry, no matter what he did, he always did it alone.

Because he did not want to make friends.

Hence, he was ostracized and people even made things difficult for him. However, all of that meant nothing as long as he could continue acting and do the things he liked.

However, one day, somebody even took away the thing that he liked to do.

Yet, he was powerless. He was just a normal person with no status or power. He struggled and resisted before, but it was of no use.

Just when he thought that everyone in the world was just as cruel, she appeared.

He told himself and suspected that she harbored evil designs on himself. However, no matter how hard he tested her, she did not seem to have any ulterior motives for helping him.

Su Jiu’s fingers carefully slid between Chuzheng’s fingers and interlocked them.

‘Gu Chuzheng, it was you who came to me first.’
