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

Chapter 37

Since Suqi was local, her family took her luggage home directly. I declined Suqi's request and decided to take the suitcase to a hotel for one night first, and then look for a suitable place to live when I had some free time.

After we settled in, we went to a newly opened restaurant near the school for a meal.

"Zhizhi, let's go to the night market. There's a street next to the school where all kinds of food are sold every night. Come with me to take a look."

Su Qi clung to my arm and acted coquettishly. I tapped her forehead and once again admired her huge appetite.

I ate a big bowl of noodles, and now I can still eat things from the night market.

Finally, we went to the night market. Suqi acted like a child, pulling me along and excitedly wandering through the night market.

"Zhizhi, I want to eat this, this! You have to try this yogurt, it's super delicious."

Su Qi looked delighted, scooped up a spoonful of yogurt, and fed it directly to my mouth.

I was kept being fed, and when I finally went back, my belly was round and full.

"I'm too full."

I looked at Su Qi with a resentful gaze, and she put her arm around my shoulder and said domineeringly, "This is nothing! We haven't even reached the end of the street yet!"

As I listened to Su Qi's words, the corner of my mouth twitched slightly.

"Tonight went by so fast, and we have to part ways soon, Zhizhi. I'll miss you tonight."

Listening to Su Qi's words, I smiled helplessly and gave her a hug.

After we parted ways, I returned to the hotel. Just as I entered the elevator, a figure quickly walked in and entered the elevator a second before the doors closed.

"Little Twig, it's been so long, have you missed me?"

The man had dyed his hair a hazy blue color, wore a brown leather wallet, black trousers that were slightly loose-fitting, and gray sneakers.

My gaze shifted upwards, landing on his face. Seeing Song Yuzhou's captivating eyes, I was speechless: "How did you find this place?"

Song Yuzhou confidently touched his hair, walked straight towards me, leaned his long arm against the wall behind the elevator, and gave me a smug smile: "What a coincidence, isn't it? I just happened to run into you."

"I never believed there could be so many coincidences in this world."

I walked past him, went to a corner, and kept my distance from him.

"Why are you avoiding me so far away? It will make me sad."

Song Yuzhou feigned grievance and moved closer to me again. Seeing that I didn't speak, he put away his joking expression and explained, "Okay, actually this hotel is one of my properties. I just happened to be here today for an inspection and saw you leaving something at the front desk."

"This is your Song family's property?"

I was once again amazed by the Song family's capabilities. How could they be so simple, being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Gu family?

I was about to pack my things and leave when Song Yuzhou seemed to see through my thoughts and said bluntly, "This is my private property and has nothing to do with the Song family. You can stay here without worry."

I looked at him, but in my mind I was thinking about finding a place to live as soon as possible tomorrow.

The elevator stopped, and I stepped out. The scoundrel kept following me. I unlocked the door and went inside, pinning him against the door.

"Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"

Song Yuzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile always on his face.

"Sir, it's late, and it's inconvenient. Besides, I don't know you well, so please don't presume to ask for my help."

Without hesitation, I slammed the door shut. Then, as if remembering something, I opened the door again, only to find Song Yuzhou still there.

"Also, don't even think about getting the key from the front desk to open the door, or I'll leave immediately."

After I finished speaking, I closed the door again before Song Yuzhou could reply.

I was a bit tired today, so I took a shower and lay in bed. I scrolled through my WeChat Moments for a while, and I don't know when, but I added Qiao Weiwei. Her location was in Beijing. She posted a picture with the caption "I'm totally shipping them!"

I inexplicably opened that picture. The colorful lights clearly indicated it was a bar, and upon closer inspection, I spotted Gu Jinhuai and Song Yuan.

Song Yuan smiled at Gu Jinhuai, whether out of shyness or something else. The latter's expression was unreadable, but even from the photo, one could see the man's aloof, noble, and unique temperament.

I logged out of WeChat Moments and then received a call from Su Qi.

After chatting for a few minutes, I hung up the phone. Just as I was about to rest, a call came in from an unknown number.

I hesitated for a second, then hung up. A moment later, the phone rang again, and this time I answered it immediately. There was silence on the other end.

"Who?"

I asked softly, but after a long while, there was still no response from the other side.

"If you don't talk anymore, I'll hang up."

As soon as I finished speaking, Gu Jinhuai's hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Zhizhi, I miss you so much."

The man's voice was deep and resonant, yet carried a hint of intoxication.

"you're drunk?"

I frowned and asked aloud.

"No, I'm perfectly sober, Zhizhi, why did you block me?"

Gu Jinhuai was like a little child, constantly pestering me with this question.

"Gu Jinhuai, you're drunk. When you sober up, you'll realize how embarrassing you are."

I spoke with a blank expression as I recorded the audio.

"I'm not drunk."

Gu Jinhuai retorted, but I could hear the drunkenness in his tone.

Just as I was about to hang up, Song Yuan's voice came through the receiver.

"Brother Jinhuai, Auntie wants me to come to her house for dinner tomorrow to discuss things between us..."

I didn't listen to the rest of the conversation and hung up the phone immediately.

I lay in bed, Gu Jinhuai's words still echoing in my mind, and I murmured to myself, "Like? Your liking is really worthless."

I forced a smile, then turned off the light and went to sleep.

I was sound asleep in the early hours of the morning when I was woken up by loud banging on the door.

I glanced at the time; it was only 3 a.m. How could the security here be so bad?

When someone harasses me late at night, my anger level immediately reaches its peak.

"Who is it?"

I stormed off to open the door, and as soon as I opened it, I saw Gu Jinhuai looking completely drunk, and a strong smell of alcohol hit me.

I frowned instinctively, but before I could say anything, Gu Jinhuai staggered in.

"Zhizhi, why are you ignoring me?"

As I listened to his questioning, I placed my hands on his chest, trying to push him away, but the man was very strong, especially a drunk man who had lost all reason.

He easily deflected my attack, restrained my hands, and pinned me against the cabinet in the entryway.

"Gu Jinhuai, wake up."

I frowned, my tone filled with anger.

But I was also surprised that he stayed up all night and came all the way from the capital just to see me?

I don't believe it. I'm more inclined to believe that he had nowhere else to vent his frustrations and took it out on me while drunk. After all, he didn't want to expose his vulnerable side to Song Yuan.

Why aren't you talking? Where's your phone? Where's it? Give it to me!

I woke up early the next morning and came back.

Gu Jinhuai restrained my hand with one hand and searched for my phone on my body with the other.

I shuddered when he touched my waist and exclaimed, "You lunatic, stop touching me!"

But my words didn't stop Gu Jinhuai; instead, they made him even more enthusiastic.

"What is this? It's soft."

Seeing his restless hands, my cheeks flushed instantly, my angry eyes welled up with tears, and my voice softened: "Let go of me."

"I need to find my phone!"

Gu Jinhuai drank some wine, his cheeks flushed slightly, his expression stubborn, and his pair of sharp black eyes softened a bit, like a little lamb, but in reality, he was a big bad wolf who would eat people without spitting out the bones.

I watched as his large, well-defined hand reached out elsewhere, and I quickly scolded him, "My phone isn't on me, it's in my bedroom."

Soon, Gu Jinhuai's gaze shifted from me to something else.

Watching him stagger towards the bedroom, I really wanted to hit him with a stick.

Just as I was about to call the hotel staff to kick them out, Gu Jinhuai's joyful voice came from the bedroom: "Found them!"

I walked in quickly and saw that in his hand, besides his phone, he also had a pair of light pink underwear.

My cheeks flushed red, and I pointed at what he was holding, my voice trembling, "You...you put that down!"

She hadn't even noticed and just tossed her phone onto the clothes she was going to wear tomorrow, and of all times, it landed on her underwear.

"It's my phone, I won't give it to you."

Gu Jinhuai gripped the pink phone case tightly, but unfortunately, the phone case got caught on his clothes.

I was so embarrassed, but the man was unmoved and brazenly tried to unlock my phone.

When he saw me approaching, he looked wary and tried to stop me.

"You're not allowed to come any closer, just stand there."
