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

Chapter 132

I met the man's narrow, sharp eyes, rubbed my eyes one last time, and stubbornly said, "It's nothing."

I blinked my sore eyes and focused my gaze on the monitor.

After a while, a long sigh came from the man beside me. I turned my head, puzzled, and met the man's dark and deep eyes.

Suddenly, a tall figure leaned down and approached me, and the man's unique cool fragrance wafted towards me. For a moment, my mind went blank.

The man's sharp, deep voice echoed in her ears: "Zhou Nanzhi, can't you just give in?"

I only felt a slight burning sensation at the tip of my ear, and a warm current spread from the base of my ear all the way up.

Before I could react, the man spoke again: "I'll take you home first, let you rest, and then you can go to class this afternoon. I'll take care of the rest."

Gu Jinhuai's voice was gentle; it turned out he had already made arrangements. Only then did I realize.

You've been reborn, why are you still blushing? Zhou Nanzhi, control yourself. Don't let his small act of charity make you forget your tragic end.

I took a deep breath, and just as I was about to say something, I received a notice from the school that Liu Ke had asked for leave in the afternoon, and I had to go to class.

Time was too tight; we only had one hour for lunch.

"Let's go, eat first."

Gu Jinhuai looked at the person next to him and said coldly, "I'll come back this afternoon. Guard this place and don't allow anyone to come in."

After Gu Jinhuai took me away, he arranged for his own people to keep an eye on things and prevent those people from causing trouble.

I looked at the strange man who had appeared. I had never seen him before. In my past life, he would usually arrange for Peng Hui to do these kinds of small things. I thought he was just saying that he was going to fire the man, but I didn't expect him to actually fire him.

That's Song Yuan's woman, and he actually...

"What are you looking at? Is he prettier than me?"

Gu Jinhuai frowned, and the assistant opposite him was startled and immediately backed away to keep his distance from them.

"nothing."

A hint of embarrassment crossed my face. I had been so engrossed in my thoughts that I hadn't realized I'd been staring at the person. I felt a pang of guilt.

"You go and guard the area; do not allow anyone to cause any damage."

"Yes, Mr. Gu, don't worry."

Li Zhou looked serious, as if he was about to do something big, and went to the monitoring room with two bodyguards.

Gu Jinhuai glanced at me with satisfaction, then took me to eat. After the meal, he sent me to school.

As I got out of the car, Gu Jinhuai held my hand, his expression gentle: "Focus on your studies, leave the rest to me."

Thinking about the changes in him during this time, I was inexplicably touched, but I quickly suppressed that strange feeling, coldly withdrew my hand, and said in a clear voice with gratitude, "Thank you."

I got off the bus and went straight into the school without looking back. Now I don't know how to face him, and I'm struggling with this internal conflict.

Today's class went smoothly. No troublemakers disrupted the class. Liu Ke was absent, and Zhao Yufei was also not there, but they quickly figured it out.

Song Yuan is probably facing another headache.

"Teacher Zhou, may I call you that?"

After class, just as I was about to leave, Zhao Jing called out to me.

"what happened?"

I looked up at the girl in front of me. She was Zhao Yufei's half-sister, only a year apart in age. Even a fool could see the problem. Anyone who could study at a university in the capital was rich, except for me.

I heard about this from my classmates not long ago.

"Zhao Yufei is with Liu Ke. Although I don't know what they're plotting, they're probably targeting you. Be careful."

Zhao Jing spoke softly, offering a kind reminder.

I'm not very familiar with her, but I'm grateful that she reminded me.

"Thank you."

I sincerely thanked them.

"No need. After all, I've already noticed her displeasure. Just be careful, otherwise, if something happens to you while the teachers aren't back these days, it will seriously delay our progress."

When I thanked her, Zhao Jing's expression was somewhat stiff, and her gaze remained fixed ahead.

"Don't worry, it won't delay the progress."

A smile appeared in my eyes.

"I am leaving."

Zhao Jing left the classroom carrying her books. I watched her walk away with her arms and legs clasped together, and I found it inexplicably amusing, a slight smile playing on my lips.

Her words gave me a jolt, and I vaguely felt that the matter of sending the package was somehow related to them.

I packed my things and left the campus. Gu Jinhuai called me right on time; the bell had just rung to signal the end of get out of class when his call came in.

I had two long classes in a row this afternoon, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I didn't eat much for lunch, and it's already 7 p.m., and my stomach is protesting.

I reached out and touched my belly, whispering, "Don't worry, Mom will take you to eat now."

The word "Mom" feels both familiar and unfamiliar; I'm slowly getting used to her presence.

As soon as I stepped out of the classroom, I saw Gu Jinhuai leaning lazily against the wall, his eyes lowered, staring at the ground, his long, slender fingers playing with his phone.

I was startled, but thankfully I had kept my voice down, so he probably hadn't heard me talking to myself.

Hearing footsteps, the man turned his head to look back. He stood with his back to the light, as if he were walking on light, surrounded by the dim light of the corridor.

"Silly boy, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Jinhuai raised his hand and gently poked my forehead, his voice deep.

I looked at the man in front of me with suspicion, and the vague idea in my mind gradually grew stronger.

I raised my hand and pushed his hand away, my voice still icy: "Have you found out?"

Gu Jinhuai's smile faded, and his voice became serious: "Get in the car first."

As soon as Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, the corridor lights went out instantly, plunging the area into darkness. I gasped as fear gripped my heart, and the next second, I found myself in a warm embrace.

"Don't be afraid."

A deep, magnetic male voice sounded above my head, and instantly, my heart calmed down. Then, Gu Jinhuai turned on his phone, and the faint light of the flashlight illuminated the road ahead.

Gu Jinhuai held his phone in one hand and pulled me down the steps one by one.

"Slow down, don't rush."

Gu Jinhuai was unusually patient at the moment.

Following the dim light, I glanced at him sideways and felt that his hard jawline softened, and even his cold and ruthless eyes became warm because of the light.

What are you looking at me for, to watch where you're going?

Gu Jinhuai noticed my gaze and spoke irritably, making me blush.

She quickly looked away, letting him pull her down the stairs, her other hand hidden in her sleeve, supporting her stomach.

Soon, they arrived at the first floor, only to find that a large number of people had gathered there.

"Why did the power go out at this time? It startled me. I don't know if I was seeing things, but I just saw a white figure."

"You must be seeing things, you're mistaken."

Just then, the loudspeaker announced: "Dear students, don't worry, there's no power outage, just a circuit breaker tripping. We've already arranged for staff to repair it, so please don't panic."

As the broadcast began, everyone calmed down.

I let Gu Jinhuai pull me out of the campus.

"It's getting cold, and you don't even know to wear more clothes."

Gu Jinhuai's tone was somewhat displeased. His large hand, which I didn't know when, was holding mine, and my slightly cool fingertips were instantly enveloped in his heat.

I really want to explain that it's not because it's cold, it's just that I've always been prone to feeling cold.

But I was too lazy to explain, and as soon as I got on the bus, something warm and soft appeared in my arms. I glanced at it and saw that it was a heated pillow, and it was even rechargeable.

I looked at the pig pattern on it, paused for a moment, cleared my throat, and said, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me. I ran into you on the way and thought it would suit you well, so I brought it for you."

Gu Jinhuai's gaze fell on the little pig pattern, and he smiled meaningfully.

Looking into his smiling eyes, I didn't argue. Piglets are cute, but I don't need them.

Once this matter is resolved, some things that were wrong should be put back in their proper place.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Gu Jinhuai knew what I was worried about.

“It was a courier, but I checked, and he didn’t know what was inside. As for the address on the package, it wasn’t sent from Lincheng. It was fabricated information arranged by someone. You should be investigated.”

After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, his gaze fell on me.

I am also aware that very few people know that I went to school in Lincheng. Apart from my parents, it would be easy for anyone who wants to know to investigate.

"Since we can't find out anything now, we'll just have to wait and see if he makes another move. But for your safety, I have to stay with you every step of the way during this time."

The man's attitude was serious, and he wouldn't allow me to refuse.

My gaze unconsciously fell on my flat stomach. I took a deep breath. If I were alone, I wouldn't be afraid, but now that I have a child, and I've decided to bring him into this world, I can't let him be threatened in any way.

Baby, you have to be strong and don't let Gu Jinhuai find out anything is wrong.
