520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

Because of his high position, everyone in Gu Lingyan's circle knew him. Everyone who saw him either respected and feared him, or tried to curry favor with him. Of course, there were also people who hated him to the core.

Generally speaking, Gu Lingyan has always been looked up to by everyone. Since he has established himself in the circle, he no longer needs to personally identify himself in any occasion.

And now, facing Xiang Huanian who was clinging to the door with a wary look, Gu Lingyan felt a little novel as he introduced himself, which he had not said for a long time.

"Oh, yes, I'll call Sister Yunchu and ask."

Xiang Huanian, who was awakened, realized belatedly that he wanted to call Lin Yunchu, and then he pushed the door open and closed it.

"Click."

Gu Lingyan: “…”

Although... never mind, it's a good thing for a little girl to be cautious, but... it's so cold in this corridor...

After walking a short distance outside, my body, which had become warm, was quickly cooled by the damp rain.

Gu Lingyan, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, hugged his arms tightly and rubbed them up and down, trying to dispel the terrible chill.

"I'm really unlucky today..."

"Click."

Before he could finish, the door that had been suddenly closed in front of him was opened again.

"...Um, sorry, I'm worried about letting you in. Drink some hot water first. This is freshly brewed from my thermos. I haven't drunk it yet, so it's clean... Just use this for now. I'll call Sister Yunchu right away. It'll be ready right away!"

Xiang Huanian carefully poked her head out from the crack of the door, stuffed the bath towel she took out of her bag and the hot water she poured from her disposable cup into Gu Lingyan's hand, and then slammed the heavy door shut.

Holding a disposable paper cup in one hand and a bath towel stuffed full in the other, Gu Lingyan, who hadn't experienced the feeling of being in such a rush for a long time, said: "..."

He looked down at the pink bath towel in his hand. It was not a common luxury brand, and its feel was not as soft as the ones he usually used, but it exuded a reassuring scent of soap nuts, and on his hand, he felt a slightly hot temperature that was transmitted from the paper cup wall to his palm.

Gu Lingyan's slightly depressed mood suddenly, inexplicably, improved, as if the haze that had been covering him had been swept away.

He chuckled, wiped the rain off his body with a bath towel with one hand, and then draped it over his shoulders to block the cold wind that blew from time to time in the aisle. Then he took a sip of the water that Xiang Huanian gave him.

It was slightly hot when it entered his throat, but not enough to burn him. The warmth flowed from his lips and teeth, through his esophagus, and into his stomach, which was feeling a little uncomfortable as he hadn't eaten since the plane.

It was like a clear spring, instantly soothing his dryness.

"Sweet? She's a little girl indeed."

Although he said that only little girls like to drink sweet water, Gu Lingyan slowly finished the glass of water, one sip after another.

Inside the room.

Xiang Huanian, who knew nothing about this and had forgotten that he had soaked red dates in water in the morning, confirmed with Lin Yunchu on the phone:

"Hello, Sister Yunchu, there's a man named Gu Lingyan at the door. He said he wants to come to your house to get something. Do you know him?"

“…Who are you talking about?”

Lin Yunchu's first reaction was that she was hallucinating, but on the other end of the phone, Xiang Huanian repeated it again:

"He said he was Gu Lingyan, Sister Yunchu, do you know him? He's waiting at the door now. If you know him, I'll let him in to look for something."
