After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter 128

When I came to my senses, I really wanted to kick him out, but when I met his resentful eyes, I was too embarrassed to speak.

"Then you can sleep on the sofa."

I pointed to the sofa and blurted it out.

"There are two bedrooms, but you made me sleep on the sofa. You're trying to take care of me, isn't that going too far?"

Gu Jinhuai walked straight past me to the bedroom door, pointed to the room, and asked, "Which room do you want to sleep in? Pick one."

I then realized that there were indeed two rooms, but I only glanced at the other one after moving in and never went inside again.

"I live here. That other room hasn't been cleaned yet, so how about..."

I was about to suggest that he sleep on the sofa, but the man simply opened the door and strode in: "No need, just make do for one night."

Seeing me still standing there dumbfounded, Gu Jinhuai lay on the bed, hands behind his head, and smiled playfully: "What are you looking at? You don't want to sleep with me, do you?"

Hearing his words, I glared at him and said irritably, "Go to sleep!"

I turned around and went back to the house across the street, slamming the door shut behind me.

After taking a shower, I snuggled comfortably into bed, looked up at the ceiling, turned on the light, and saw the Milky Way and stars appear on the ceiling again. My thoughts wandered.

I don't know when, but I actually fell asleep.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of even breathing. Then, with a click, the door opened, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet environment. But strangely enough, I was fast asleep and didn't notice.

Gu Jinhuai gently closed the door, and through the moonlight filtering through the curtains, he easily walked to the window, gazing at the person sleeping on the bed, scrutinizing them carefully, as if he were sketching something.

"Zhizhi..."

He slowly approached, and finally lay down on the empty space next to him, gently placing his warm, large hands on his stomach, trying to feel the tiny life inside.

She moved gently, as if afraid of waking the person sleeping peacefully in bed.

A moment later, the phone rang, breaking the silence, and Gu Jinhuai's face unconsciously darkened.

I frowned uneasily, and Gu Jinhuai reached out and gently patted my back, his voice tender: "It's okay, go to sleep."

After I fell asleep peacefully, Gu Jinhuai left the bedroom, glanced at the phone, and went straight to the balcony to answer it.

"It's been checked and the document has been sent to your email."

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Gu Jinhuai frowned and said, "It's not convenient right now. Just tell me directly, what exactly happened to Liu Ke?"

"Okay, Liu Ke, he..."

The person on the other end paused noticeably, but still relayed the message to Gu Jinhuai without omitting a single word.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Jinhuai's face darkened so much it looked like it could drip water.

The next day, I got up listlessly, and I had begun to slowly process what had happened the day before.

Today, there are classes not only in the morning but also in the afternoon.

The thought of facing Liu Ke gives me a headache.

Seeing my sighing and groaning, Gu Jinhuai smiled slightly and said, "If you don't want to go, I can help you."

I listened to Gu Jinhuai's words and didn't ask him for help. If the lesson didn't go smoothly, Teacher Wang definitely wouldn't give me a grade.

I made a solemn promise to myself that I would definitely gain the approval of the four teachers. Now that we have just begun, I cannot give up halfway.

"No need, thank you for yesterday."

I glanced at the time and was about to leave.

"Remember to close the door when you leave. I'm going to class."

Gu Jinhuai tapped the table and said, "No rush, let's eat first."

I couldn't quite figure out what he was thinking, but with only twenty minutes left before class started, I picked up the milk on the table.

"No need, I'll drink this. I'm leaving now."

I strode to the door, then, remembering something, turned back and said, "Remember to lock the door when you leave."

After I finished speaking, I turned around and left.

Gu Jinhuai looked at her hurried appearance and chuckled, thinking...

Looking at her belly, he frowned and reminded her, "Walk slowly."

No one responded. Gu Jinhuai finished getting ready and was about to leave when he noticed the key on the cabinet in the entryway.

He glanced at it, reached for the keys, and said softly, "I forgot my keys again."

I rushed to the classroom, only to find it empty. It seemed we were having a practical lesson again today.

I walked towards the next room with a blank expression. Just as I reached the corner, I saw Liu Ke standing at the door waiting.

He had a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for me, but his eyes looked sinister and sent chills down my spine.

This reminds me of that night when, upon seeing the bandage wrapped around his forehead, I froze, completely still.

"Zhou, if you don't hurry up, you'll be late. Do you want all the other students to wait for you?"

Liu Ke's words divided me and my classmate into two sides.

I walked over without changing my expression, looked at Liu Ke, met his cold and terrifying eyes, and smiled faintly: "Student Liu, there are still five minutes before the teacher starts class, so I'm not late. But I really should learn from you, arriving at the classroom half an hour early every day."

My exaggerated expression completely enraged Liu Ke.

Rather than waiting passively, I prefer to take the initiative, expose the danger completely, and then resolve it together.

Otherwise, living in constant fear will only cause me more trouble.

"But what happened to Liu's forehead? It wasn't like that yesterday."

I smiled so hard my eyes crinkled, staring intently at him, but to him, the smile in my eyes seemed to be mocking him.

He clenched his fists, making a cracking sound, and said with a forced smile, "Who caused me to become like this? She knows it in her heart. Zhou Nanzhi, what do you say?"

Our eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment; neither of us spoke.

Suddenly, Gu Jinhuai's voice rang out from behind.

"Zhizhi, you forgot your keys."

I turned around and saw Gu Jinhuai standing there, holding the apartment key in his hand. I couldn't help but slap my forehead: "Look at my memory, Liu, you should go to class."

I glanced at Liu Ke, then turned around and walked directly to Gu Jinhuai's side.

Gu Jinhuai stared sharply at Liu Ke behind him. Liu Ke pushed up his glasses, smiled gently, and then walked into the classroom.

"Thank you."

I took the keys and thanked him.

"Don't be afraid, I'll stay with you these next few days."

I was about to ask him how he was going to keep me company when I realized he was pulling me to the door. Just as I was panicking, the man let go of my hand and walked in without a care in the world.

His face instantly attracted a lot of attention. Liu Ke, who was giving a lecture, was unhappy about being disturbed. For a moment, the classroom was quiet, but soon, someone started whispering in the classroom.

Liu Ke looked displeased, slammed her textbook down on the table, and looked at Gu Jinhuai with displeasure. Although she had a smile on her face, her eyes were sinister and frightening.

"Excuse me, you don't seem to be a medical student."

Faced with Liu Ke's questioning, Gu Jinhuai readily admitted, "I am indeed not a medical student, but..."

Gu Jinhuai's gaze suddenly fell on me, and my heart skipped a beat. I was afraid that he would say something shocking, so I looked at Gu Jinhuai with pleading eyes.

The latter smiled slightly and looked at Liu Ke: "Although I am not a student, I am here today on behalf of the Gu family. After all, I have invested so much money in Imperial University. Is it alright for me to evaluate the students' performance?"

"If you think there's a problem, you can go directly to the principal and have him talk to me."

Gu Jinhuai didn't give him a chance to resist. He picked up a stool and sat down in front of the podium.

Because I needed to take notes for the entire class, I was seated at the front of an empty table. Coincidentally, Gu Jinhuai chose a spot right in front of me.

"Do you have any more questions? If not, please start the class and don't delay the other students."

Gu Jinhuai's tone was cold, yet carried a commanding tone.

Seeing Liu Ke get the short end of the stick made me feel inexplicably much better.
