The young lady at the side watched her leave and said, “Don’t tell me that’s Gu Jingyu? People always say that they’re together.”

Xin Xiaoyuan laughed, “Forget it. With Gu Jingyu’s status, would he find a small fry? Have you ever thought of why Gu Jingyu never had a single rumor over the years? You may think that it’s because he doesn’t want any, but everyone says that it’s because he’s a Gu. Do you know what kind of family the Gu family is? He needs to have someone with proper upbringing and whatnot instead of her. Take these rumors with a pinch of salt. Judging by her standards, she would be lucky if she found a rich guy to settle down with after becoming famous.”

Xin Xiaoyuan refused to believe that she and Gu Jingyu had anything going on. It was just awkward for them. However, she was really curious about why Lin Che ran out as soon as she received some call.

Outside, Lin Che held her phone and listened to Gu Jingze’s question, “Was it smooth today?”

“Yes, it was fine. What are you doing?” Lin Che asked as she leaned against the wall.

“I’m working.”

“Ah, at this time?”

“Yeah, I’m waiting for an overseas video conference.” She could tell that he must have been in his office. It sounded empty on his side and his voice echoed.

Lin Che could picture him sitting in his office, one hand holding his phone while the other typed away on the keyboard. He looked focused and his eyes were relaxed.

She saw that image countless times but when she imagined it so clearly across the telephone line, she thought that he was very handsome.

Lin Che asked to the phone, “Aren’t you very busy then? Don’t call me anymore. Go do your work. Sleep earlier and don’t work when it gets really late.”

Gu Jingze replied, “It’s no problem. I won’t be busy for a while. How was it today? Was it tiring?”

“I’m alright.”

“Is the reality show fun?”

“Yeah, it’s quite interesting. The school looks great too.” Actually, it was rather tiring.

As she spoke, she coughed and her throat felt itchy. It was rather windy along the corridor, so she must have been affected by the wind.

He immediately heard the cough, “Why are you coughing?”

“It’s nothing. I’m in the corridor so it might be the wind. I’m going in then.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

“Okay, you sleep earlier too,” Lin Che repeated. “Don’t stay up too late.”

“Just take care of yourself. You don’t know anything outside.”

“I’m not a silly little kid. Of course, I know how to take care of myself. Alright, I’m hanging up.”

Lin Che immediately hung up. She held her phone and coughed again. She went to prepare some water to soothe her throat. She had been yelling the entire day and her throat was extremely uncomfortable.

At night, Xin Xiaoyuan tossed and turned in her bed, continuously complaining that the bed was too hard and that the dormitory smelled. She complained to her assistant over the phone. She had a villa, a Simmons bed, and everything she needed at home. Why was she here suffering?

Lin Che thought that she caught a cold. She quickly called Sister Yu who quickly let Yang Lingxin with some cold medicine over so it would not affect the filming.

Yang Lingxin quickly reached and gave Lin Che the medicine along the corridor. But before Lin Che took the medicine, her phone rang once again.

When she picked up her phone and saw the screen, her eyes lit up.

It was Gu Jingze again.

She quickly answered the call.

“Gu Jingze, you haven’t slept?”

“Come out.”

“What?”

“I’m letting you come out of your dormitory. Or do you want me to go up?”

“Ah, you’re here?”

Lin Che didn’t expect him to come. She hurriedly said, “Okay, I’m coming out now. But why are you here?”

Gu Jingze only plainly said, “Just come out. Hurry up, you’re so slow.”

Lin Che hastily agreed and hung up.

Beside her, Yang Lingxin looked at Lin Che in surprise, “Sister Che, who was it on the phone?”

Lin Che smiled and said, “I think that Gu Jingze is here. I’ll go take a look.”

Lin Che’s face was obviously happy. Although she didn’t know what he needed or why he suddenly came, she couldn’t help but smile at the thought of him coming to the school at this hour.

Yang Lingxin’s eyes halted. She stood there as she watched Lin Che happily glance back at her before running out. Yang Lingxin’s mouth twitched as she continued to stare in that direction.

Why was she so blissful? Just because she met Gu Jingze, she became the recipient of all his affection.

Lin Che ran out and headed downstairs. She saw Gu Jingze’s car outside.

She jumped a few steps down. Gu Jingze opened the door and stepped out. He looked up at Lin Che.

“Slow down, what’s the hurry?” he frowned.

Lin Che looked at the car behind, “No cars are allowed in the school. How did you… And this is the girls’ dormitory. No guy is allowed in here, you…”

Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che and touched her forehead with one hand, “No fever.”

Lin Che rolled her eyes at him, “Of course there’s no fever.”

“But you coughed. Here’s some medicine. Take it.”

“Ah…” Lin Che looked speechlessly at Gu Jingze. “How did you know that I caught a cold?”

Gu Jingze passed the cup of water to her, “Open wide.”

Lin Che instinctively opened her mouth. After she took the medicine, she looked at Gu Jingze, “Did you come here to give me medicine?”

Lin Che looked at him. Although he remained silent as he put down the cup, Lin Che’s heart was filled with warmth.

Gu Jingze looked at her and quickly took off his coat. He reached out, opened the coat, and put it over her.

Lin Che cautiously looked around and realized that all the people around were long gone. There were only his men standing in a row behind. Lin Che said, “How did so many of you get in here?”

Gu Jingze said, “By car.”

“…” Lin Che thought, That was right. He was Gu Jingze and if he wanted to come in, nobody could dare to stop him.

Gu Jingze looked at his sides and let his men retreat. He looked at Lin Che’s thin body and put an arm over her shoulders, bringing her into his embrace.

What a cold body.

He frowned and asked, “Why didn’t you put on something when you came out?”

They were right in front of a school dormitory. Lin Che quickly exclaimed and pushed against his chest, “Let go, let go. We can’t do this here. What are you doing?”

But Gu Jingze did not budge. Pushing him was useless. Lin Che panicked and frowned as she looked up at his face.

He gazed at her petite head and said, “Stop moving.”

“No. We can’t do this here, Gu Jingze.”

Gu Jingze frowned and looked at her unhappily. He appeared a little impatient, “I said stop moving.”

“But…”

Before she could say anything else, he bent down to kiss her.

Lin Che’s mouth was engulfed by his. She felt her lips get pried slightly open as he bit and teased them.

What a disobedient woman. Why should she resist him?

Who else would he punish if not her?

Gu Jingze’s kiss was heavy and anxious. He repeatedly attacked Lin Che’s soul.

She really tasted too sweet. His lips unknowingly began to apply more force as if he was going to suck her entire being into his body.

He had tasted her countless times but he still couldn’t resist her body.
