Lure, Fungus

Chapter 8: Protection from Heavy Rain

After taking care of Bai Muge, he went to the guest room next door.

In order to suppress the restlessness deep in his heart, he walked into the bathroom again, turned on the shower, and the water gushed down, wetting his hair, and then fell into the fantasy place along his mermaid line.

He walked out of the bathroom, with his bathrobe casually hanging on his body, which looked a bit ruffian but could not hide his wealth.

Looking out the French window, the moon was clearly hanging in the sky just now, but it was covered by dark clouds in a short while. It looks like it will rain tonight.

He returned to bed, thinking that the little Mu'er he had been thinking about was now only separated from him by a wall, and he could sleep well tonight.

In the second half of the night, the downpour arrived as expected, with lightning streaking across the night sky and thunder roaring so loudly that it seemed to shatter glass.

This year's rainy season in Haicheng is always particularly long and intense.

Gu Shengye was awakened by the sudden thunder, but he vaguely heard bursts of crying in the air from time to time.

Thinking of the little Mu'er who was still sleeping, he felt inexplicably nervous.

He quickly walked out of the guest room, and when he opened the bedroom door, as he expected, he saw Xiao Mu'er lying on the bed with her eyes closed, but tears were flowing uncontrollably.

Her hands were clutching the bed sheets tightly, as if trying to hold on to something.

Tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, and his face was full of fear and despair.

He had never imagined that Xiao Mu'er would have such an expression, so frightened, like a rose whose life was about to be destroyed in a storm.

But she still tried to struggle stubbornly.

He gently stroked her face and wiped away her tears tenderly.

Maybe it was because the thunder was too loud tonight. Little Mu'er's tears, like pearls that had broken off the string, fell drop by drop, and also hit his heart drop by drop.

Even though he is decisive and ruthless in the business world, he would still be at a loss when faced with such a situation.

Watching her tears grow more violent, echoing throughout the room.

The feeling of being broken hit Gu Shengye's eyes hard.

"Don't leave me, don't go, don't." Bai Muge's sad mumbling sounded particularly real to Gu Shengye in the room where only the two of them were.

Her hands were grasping aimlessly in the air again, trying her best to keep that person.

Suddenly, Gu Shengye’s big hand grabbed her panicked little hand.

Warm and powerful, the warmth from the palm was soothing her wounded heart.

Gu Shengye was also full of doubts in his heart. How many secrets did his beloved little mushroom hide that he didn't know about?

I can't help but regret,

I missed her for so many years.

I missed so much time to get to know her.

He lay down beside Xiao Mu'er, gently lifted her head, put his arm under her neck for her to rest her head on, and his fingers climbed up her small waist and held her in his arms.

Feeling the warmth of his body, her body involuntarily moved closer to him. It was like finding her own warm harbor and being able to fall asleep in his warm embrace.

Gu Shengye's big hand kept stroking her back, and also kept stroking the pain in her heart.

The child's crying gradually faded away and the bedroom returned to peace.

Perhaps, no matter how loud the thunder is tonight, it will not disturb her anymore.

I heard her mumbling, "Mom, Mom."

Gu Shengye gently stroked her face and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Mu'er, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you."

Smelling the faint fragrance of Xiao Mu'er, he thought that it was really addictive. He was afraid that he would not be able to quit it even if he wanted to. But he was happy with it.

After that, he hugged her tightly and fell asleep.

Outside the window, it was still raining heavily.

But, warmth and love are spreading inside the window.

The next morning, Bai Muge woke up. The decoration was in black and white again, and she knew that she had to spend the night at Gu Shengye's house again.

"Hey, Bai Muge, why are you so useless? You fell asleep while watching a movie last night." She sat on the bed, poking her little head with her fingers, as if telling how ridiculous what she had done was.

Thinking of what Xiao Zhu reminded him of in the afternoon, his eyes widened.

She thought that Gu Shengye would not know that she would lose control of her emotions when it rained at night.

"Ah, Bai Muge, you really don't come to me for no reason, and you caused such a mess..."

She couldn't convince herself anymore and just lay back down on the bed.

Five minutes later, she calmed down and walked out of the bedroom. As soon as she closed the door, she saw Gu Shengye coming out of the guest room and caught his gaze.

Bai Muge wanted to escape, but she forgot that she had just closed the door.

"Bang...", her forehead had an intimate contact with the door.

She couldn't help but start to wonder, was Mercury retrograde these days?

He's in debt and banging on the door!

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, she knew she couldn't hide.

"Miss Bai, how did you sleep last night?" After saying that, he glanced at her head and was relieved to see that nothing was wrong.

However, Bai Muge did not notice this tiny movement.

"I'm fine. How about Mr. Gu? Did you sleep well?"

"Very good." After saying this, a very happy expression appeared on his face.

Then Gu Shengye took her to the restaurant.

Last time she came, she didn't look carefully. Now she found that Gu Shengye's restaurant also had a strong sense of design. It was full of the atmosphere of the upper class.

The man sitting opposite her was reading the morning newspaper, and he exuded a noble temperament that no one dared to offend.

As I watched, a woman came out of the kitchen with two breakfasts.

"This is Aunt Sun, who is responsible for my daily life here." Gu Shengye said in a normal tone.

"Hello, Miss Bai."

"Hello, Aunt Sun." Bai Muge greeted warmly.

Afterwards, Sun's mother went into the kitchen to do some work, leaving the two of them alone at the table again.

Gu Shengye was eating breakfast leisurely. "Miss Bai, aren't you hungry? You keep looking at me."

Bai Muge was at a loss after being exposed and could only smile foolishly.

"Mr. Gu, aren't you busy?"

"No, I'm taking a break today."

"But today is not a day off." She looked puzzled. However, when she met Gu Shengye's eyes, she immediately changed her mind, "Yes, people of your status have the power to make decisions in their own hands."

After saying that, she lowered her head and started eating breakfast.

Gu Shengye, who was sitting opposite, smiled secretly. This woman...

But Secretary Zhang in the company was sitting in front of the computer with a resentful look on his face.

Who knew that the president told him early in the morning that he would not come to the company, leaving Secretary Zhang alone to face many company affairs.

This is the pain of working people.

I can’t express my suffering!

Gu Shengye at the table didn't think so.

He can't miss such a good opportunity to enhance his relationship with Xiao Mu'er.

"Is there anything you want to do today?" Gu Shengye asked casually.

When asked, Bai Muge looked confused. When did Gu Shengye become so concerned about her life?

"Yes, I have to practice the violin today." Hearing this, Gu Shengye thought that Xiao Mu'er was really passionate about it and had never given it up for so many years.

Hearing this, he was very proud.

"In a few days, Senior Chen Nianzi will select a violinist to play "Fantasy" with him. I don't want to miss this opportunity." Upon hearing this, Gu Shengye's expression changed obviously.

He thought that Chen Nianzi was Chen Linqing's younger brother. He knew that there was a musical genius in their Chen family, but he didn't know that the tail extended to him.

"Do you have to go?" His tone became obviously serious.

"Of course, the piano music composed by Senior Chen is very good. It is my honor to play with him."

Hearing this, Gu Shengye clenched the cutlery in his hand to show his anger.

Bai Muge felt the chill in the air.

She thought they were just playing a song together, so was there any need for him to react so strongly?

"I will accompany you to practice the piano and tutor you!" Gu Shengye's tone was strong and firm.

"Oh, okay, okay." Bai Muge was so scared that he didn't dare to refute.
