After returning from City H, Su Rui had also finished her internship at Gu Company.
When she recalled the day she took the internship form to Gu Yu Cheng to sign and stamp it, he had an #âI think your internship isnât passableâ expression and he even said âmy signature is very expensiveâ, Su Rui still found it amusing till now.
It was only after she had agreed to a number of conditions which made her âsurrendered territories under humiliating termsâ when a certain someone reluctantly signed her form with the words âGu Yu Chengâ.
â¦â¦
After finishing her internship, Su Rui also began to prepare for her school exams.
Ever since she arrived in this world and attended university again, Su Rui has been studying much more seriously than she did in the past.
However, exam week was still a nightmare for her.
â¦â¦
Today, Gu Yu Cheng had to make an adjustment to the companyâs project.
When he returned home in the evening, it was almost 10 oâclock.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Su Rui, who was wearing pajamas, hugging a book on the sofa. Her head was drooping, evidently fast asleep.
The corner of Gu Yu Chengâs mouth curled a little. He changed his shoes and walked towards Su Rui quietly.
âRui Ruiâ Gu Yu Cheng whispered in Su Ruiâs ear.
âOh⦠Yu Cheng?â Su Ruiâs voice contained a tinge of sleepiness.
Gu Yu Cheng kissed Su Rui on the cheek. He carried her while saying, âGo sleep on the bed.â
âHold on, what time is it?â Su Rui asked.
âAlmost 10 oâclock.â
âHave you had dinner?â
âYes, I ate at the office.â
âIâll take you to bed.â
âNo, I canât. Iâve still got a number of pages to read.â
âYou can read them tomorrow.â
âThe exam is tomorrow.â
âThen go read it on the bed.â He was afraid that Su Rui would be uncomfortable if she slept on the sofa for a long time. Moreover, she would easily catch a cold.
Gu Yu Cheng got up and carried Su Rui to the bed.
â¦â¦
Before Su Rui finished reading one question, Gu Yu Cheng had already washed up, changed his clothes and came out.
Gu Yu Cheng approached her and sat on the bed. He took Su Rui into his arms from the back and asked, âWhich questions do you not know?â
âThis chapter, I think itâs so hard. And these, the questions that I drew stars beside it.â It was said to be the focus of the examination.
âLet me see.â Taking the book from Su Ruiâs hand, Gu Yu Chengâs eyes skimmed over several questions.
âThe reason for the first question is that the curve on the paper is more inclined towards the right than the curve on the reference. Soâ¦[1]â
âThe key points in the second question are in externalities, publicness, and â¦â¦â
âWhat about this one?â
âThis one needs to be modelled firstâ¦â
â¦â¦
Gu Yu Cheng explained the questions that Su Rui drew stars on.
It was a lot more efficient than Su Rui reading it herself.
âFrom what I have mentioned, is there anything else that I didnât explain clearly or that you donât understand?â Gu Yu Cheng asked.
When he lowered his head, he saw that Su Rui turned around slightly and turned her head to gaze straight at himself.
Su Rui looked at Gu Yu Cheng and questioned grimly, âWhy do you know everything?â
She was now a little jealous of Gu Yu Cheng, how on earth did this guy manage to be such a top-student[2]?
âWhatâs in here?â Su Rui muttered softly as she âretaliatedâ by tugging at a strand of Gu Yu Chengâs short hair at the back of his head. Seeing this, Gu Yu Cheng laughed in a low voice and caught Su Ruiâs hand.
âIt contains you.â Gu Yu Cheng said in Su Ruiâs ear, in a serious manner.
The next second, he was already holding Su Ruiâs hand, turned her around and lowered his head to seal Su Ruiâs lips.
âMm⦠Yu Cheng.â
âIs it over?â Pecking Su Ruiâs lips lightly, Gu Yu Cheng asked softly.
Even though Su Rui was already a married woman, she could not help but blush.
Perhaps it was because she went to another city and was not acclimatized, but Su Rui did not expect that her period would start earlier after she returned from H City.
It had been over a week now, so it was actually over.
But!
She has exams tomorrow even though it starts in the afternoon!
âWait for me to finish exams this week, hm?â With a tinge of coquettish in her tone, Su Rui nibbled on Gu Yu Chengâs chin and glanced at him.
The slight stimulation on his chin caused Gu Yu Cheng to tense up a little and the Adam apple on his throat to move slightly. Gu Yu Cheng lowered his head and rested his forehead against Su Ruiâs forehead.
âYesterday, I found something while I was packing.â
âHmm?â Originally, Su Rui was still a little puzzled about what Gu Yu Cheng had found.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the next second, she heard Gu Yu Cheng say, âIn a pink paper bagâ¦â
âStop!â Hearing Gu Yu Chengâs words, Su Ruiâs face turned red.
When she saw that Gu Yu Cheng was going to say more, Su Rui swiftly covered his mouth with her hand, almost without thinking.
Since it left a deep impression in her head, she didnât even need Gu Yu Cheng to describe it. Just by hearing the words âpink paper bagâ, Su Rui knew which one he was talking about.
âWhen did you buy it?â
It was bought during the time you went on a business trip.
No! It was bought by Tang Xiao, that hoodwinker, who fooled me.
Su Rui: â¦
She doesnât want to answer this question.
Looking at the blush on Su Ruiâs face, Gu Yu Cheng smiled.
Looking at Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng asked again, âYou havenât worn it before?â
At this moment, the glint in Gu Yu Chengâs dazzling eyes contained âeagerness to give it a tryâ where it was impossible for Su Rui to feign blind and not see it.
âThatâll be after exam week.â Su Rui said âforcefullyâ.
âOh right!â
âWhatâs wrong?â Gu Yu Cheng asked as he watched Su Rui about to get up from the bed.
âI still have a big assignment for a case study to do.â
The teacher of this subject was very kind in not scheduling an exam, however, the big assignment was not easy either.
âIs it due tomorrow?â
âNot due, but there will be a check tomorrow.â
Probably finally realizing that he had âheld upâ Su Rui recently, Gu Yu Cheng was very quiet and did not affect Su Rui this time.
Only when he saw Su Ruiâs upper and lower eyelids struggling in front of the desk did Gu Yu Cheng carry Su Rui back to bed with some distress.
âI fell asleep?â
âGo to sleep.â
âOh, butâ¦â
âSleep for a while before you get up.â
âThen Iâll set an alarm.â
âNo, Iâll wake you up.â
Upon hearing that, Su Rui nodded in Gu Yu Chengâs arms with her eyes closed.
âThen Iâll sleep for 30 minutes and you wake me.â
âEn, go to sleep.â
Hearing Gu Yu Chengâs low and unhurried voice in her ear, Su Rui was reassured by it and closed her eyes.
But to her surprise, when she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.
âGu Yu Cheng!â
âAwake?â Gu Yu Cheng lowered himself and gave a kiss on Su Ruiâs forehead. He smiled and said, âWash up and have breakfast, then Iâll take you to school.â
