Chapter 30 Sleeping Together

  Savoring the smooth and moving words just now, I really suspect that he has memorized a good draft several times. When he handed her the envelope, she frowned and pulled out a cigarette from her mouth. Without waiting for her response, he got up and left, but looking at his back, there was a little bit of reluctance.

  When all the doors are closed, I really hope that door is blown open by the wind. Looking at the stack of banknotes, thinking about how much money this is, it's estimated that not even 10,000 yuan can be earned this year. Gazing at this thick stack of banknotes, and then taking out a China Bank card with one million yuan in it, such a dream seems to be something you'd only think about when buying a Double Color Ball lottery ticket.

  She even remembered her birthday, and walked out of the room with some unease, also habitually entering without knocking. As soon as she pushed open the door, she smelled a strong smell of smoke, but he had never smoked in front of her before. This sleepless night was going to be a stalemate.

  "I don't want your hard-earned money, just lend me a light!" Gu Xi suddenly pulled out a cigarette from somewhere and sat down on his bed to ask him for a lighter. Seeing her about to pick up the lighter, Ling Haoyu helplessly stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray.

  "Don't be like that, it's normal for a man to earn money and spend it on the one he loves. How can you survive in this city without money? Just like other girls, if you don't have money, you can pout and ask me for some. Darling, didn't you think that someone's clothes are very pretty?" Ling Hao Yu said with a sarcastic tone, his expression was very cute.

  She inadvertently smiled, her hand on his thigh at some point, looking good. She took it away with some shyness and didn't mention leaving again, "I'm tired, I'll go rest."

  "Come here, I'll put you to sleep, aren't you afraid I'll do something bad?"

  Ling Hao Yu grasped her hand tightly, pulling her down onto the bed with excessive force. As she tried to get up, he held her tightly and patted her shoulder gently. At this moment, the distance between them was so close that she could hear his rapid breathing.

  "Don't even think about it!" Gu Xi laughed and bent her leg to forcefully push against his stomach, letting out an "ah" as she cried out in pain but was reluctant to let go, gently patting her shoulder to coax her to sleep.

  Her pupils dilated, she was completely enchanted by the man in front of her, and so quickly lost all resistance, closing her eyes and falling asleep. He gently moved his arm away, bowed his head to kiss her cheek, as if possessed by a demon wanting to possess everything about her, and began doing push-ups on the bed to distract himself.

  She felt the frequent vibrations and woke up from her sleep, only to see Ling Hao Yu half-naked doing push-ups beside her. She touched her cheek, which was already covered with his saliva, and just as she thought of sitting down, he leaned in close to her cheek, but upon seeing those bright eyes staring at him, he fell weakly onto her upper body.

  "Are you putting me to sleep or am I putting you to sleep?"

  She was pressed down and couldn't get up, so she reached into his thick hair and pulled him up forcefully. In her mind, she thought that a man in his thirties was still so childish, could he really divert attention like this?

  "Sorry!"

  "How can I sleep with such a big commotion? I'm going back to my room."

  "Don't... don't be like this, I promise it won't happen again."

  Ling Haoyu still wouldn't let her go, pulling her back. In the dead of night, she lay awake staring at the man who was sleeping with his arms around her. For the first time, she truly slept with a man, and it felt a bit embarrassing. She gently moved him away. She walked back to her own room, quietly packing up her things. At dawn, she left an envelope on Ling Haoyu's desk, leaving behind everything he had given her, not taking a single item.

  Gu Xi dragged a small suitcase out of the yard, seemingly reluctant to leave this brief moment. Although he left behind too many wounds, his mind was filled with happy scenes as he departed. He had cooked meals for her, blown dry her hair, and bathed her. The loving care he had shown her, scene by scene, flashed before his eyes, making him feel like he was leaving a fairy tale world behind, one that he had decided never to return to again.

  Gu Xi had contacted the landlord of a flat on Pingmin Street online, and was told that it was a sublet, with five rooms and one living room, meaning there were already four people living inside. Under the landlord's guidance, she found the house to be old and worn out, without an elevator. Climbing up to the fifth floor left her breathless, and the rent wasn't cheap either - a small single room cost 00 yuan. With not much money on her own, plus what her friend had sent over, it would only last two months.

  Just entering the hall, in front of the TV cabinet were many bowls, chopsticks and bottles, very messy. Today is Sunday, right? Everyone in the dormitory was present.

  The room near the balcony was originally a girl's home after she got married and moved out. Now it's Gu Xi's turn to move in, from a luxurious villa to such an old and simple house, which seems a bit uncomfortable for her. However, the messy room is just right for her, and her roommates are all curious about their new roommate.

  Gu Xi was tidying up her bed when two big and small individuals arrived. The bigger one, with a height of over 1.7 meters, had a fair and clean complexion, giving the impression of having applied several layers of powder from afar. Upon closer inspection, however, it turned out to be a bare face, with a lot of excess flesh on her upper body, while her lower body appeared relatively slender compared to her build, making her overall appearance quite uncoordinated. She was also holding a bag of potato chips in her hand and munching away, no wonder she was fat for a reason. The smaller one, about 1.6 meters tall, had a wheat-colored complexion and a well-proportioned and full figure, wearing a floral suspender to join in the fun.

  "Hey, little girl's here?" The fat guy had his mouth full of potato chips and looked at the cigarettes sticking out of her pocket, took a glance at the six shiny earrings on her ears, and asked with suspicion.

  "What's wrong with you? Has he offended you?" The thin man seemed to be quite disgusted by the fat man's words and spoke out first.

  "I think you all have princess syndrome? My name is Gu Xi, I'm a mechanical engineering major who just started my internship. Nice to meet everyone and become roommates! By the way, other book friends are reading: 'The Spoiled Girl Takes Charge'."

  Gu Xi shook out her blanket and handed out a few bananas to them, and couldn't help but say it out loud herself.

  "Princess disease?" The little girl asked hesitantly.

  "Little Xi, hello, I'm Li Lin, currently working in a network company as an accountant. She's Shangguan Yiyiy, now unemployed. When big guys see food, their brains only think of food. Looking at her financial situation, it seems like she's been making a lot of money. On the other hand, the little girl next to her is about the same age as Gu Xi, and judging from her appearance, she seems athletic. With her petite body and a bit of muscle, her figure has a very solid and comfortable feel to it."

  It's because of her bright personality that everyone likes her. She had just tidied up the bed and shooed them away, lying down to sleep herself. Hearing the sound of countless text messages, she hesitated for a long time before opening it to take a look. It turned out they were all from Ling Haoyu, who had sent countless messages from yesterday till now, and after being silent for a while, she didn't know how to respond.

  At noon in the bedroom, if it's not a workday, it might be the most lively time, because even people who sleep in late get up to join in. A strong instant noodle aroma wafts in through the gap under the door, and when your stomach is hungry, that smell is really tempting.

  Suddenly heard, "Xiao Xi come quickly, fragrant Italian noodles are out of the oven, everyone eat together." It was Li Lin's voice, with a particularly large volume, and the fragrance hit her nose as she pushed open the door.

  She got out of bed and put on a pair of black slippers, and suddenly there were two unfamiliar faces in front of her. One was a short-haired girl named Lu Pingping who worked as an editor at an internet company. The other was wearing simple clothes - a plain white T-shirt, light brown seven-eighth pants, and a pair of white flat shoes. When introducing herself at home, she didn't give her full name, just saying "Call me Sister Fan". Apparently, she was the oldest among them. She heard the fatty whispering in her ear that she was 30 years old this year and still working as a clerk at a foreign trade company.

  There were only three small stools in the bedroom, surrounding a small glass table with a pot of steaming hot instant noodles. The surface was covered with green vegetables, which was still a relatively healthy way to eat. Looking at Yuwen Yiyu's bowl, it was almost overflowing, and her chopsticks were still trying to dig into the pot, regardless of how scalding it was. She hastily blew on it and then stuffed it into her mouth, exaggerating as if she hadn't eaten for several days.

  Fan's sister furrowed her brow, serving herself a bowl of noodles. Gu Xi indicated for her to sit on the couch, then took another ceramic bowl and scraped the bottom of the pot with great effort, managing to fill it only halfway, mostly with soup water, without scooping out many noodles. As she sat there frowning, she casually turned on the TV, a gust of wind blew into the room, blowing her jet-black hair to one side, revealing a black mole at the back of her snow-white neck. Presumably that was a "bitter love mole". Looking at Fan's sister with her gentle demeanor, it seemed that in reality, she had unspeakable worries.

  "Xiao Xi won't eat, is it because I didn't cook well?" Fan Jie walked over to Gu Xi's side and sat down with a frown.

  "No way!"

  "No appetite? Well, I'd be happy to help you with that."

  I don't know when Li Lin came out of her room with an empty bowl, and drank it all up without leaving any residue. No wonder she's so fat, walking to her side and snatching that small bowl of noodles, regardless of the oil on the corner of her mouth, stuffing it into her mouth.

  "I want some too! I want some too!" Shangguan Yiyiy also picked up her own half bowl of noodles and started competing with Li Lin to eat, these starving ghosts really didn't dare to be polite.

  "These two girls, one is always thin no matter how much she eats, the other is so fat that she can't eat enough." Fang Jie always has a very caring appearance, as if she's an elder in this household. She's been living outside for five years now and has been staying here since her return, never moving out. Her work attitude remains unchanged, although she hasn't been promoted after joining this small company, she has never left either.

  She said she was content with being an ordinary small-town citizen, never thinking of getting rich as a Taoist priest, only hoping for a peaceful and down-to-earth life. After chatting for half a day, the only thing they didn't discuss was her love story.

  Even some deliberately avoid discussing this issue, an afternoon passed. At night, a person lies in bed, staring at the phone, looking at countless messages, countless records of unconnected calls. Unconsciously fell asleep, suddenly the phone started ringing again, she was just dazed and wanted to press hold, but ended up answering it.

  "Hey, where's the little girl?"
