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

Chapter 52

Gu Jinhuai acted as if he hadn't heard me and walked straight toward me. When I met his cold eyes, I took a step back.

"What are you hiding from? Do you think I'd eat you?"

Gu Jinhuai sounded impatient as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer.

"are you crazy!"

The emotions I had suppressed all the way crumbled completely in front of him.

Outside the door, there was Gu Zi's cursing and banging on the door.

"Gu Jinhuai, if you dare to bully Zhizhi, I will haunt you even as a ghost."

Hearing the sounds outside the door, Gu Jinhuai narrowed his eyes and stared straight at me. I instinctively shrank my neck, and the next moment, my feet left the ground as the man hoisted me onto his shoulders.

I gasped, head down, as if I were about to fall at any moment, my hands gripping the back of his shirt tightly.

Then my body was lifted into the air and thrown onto the bed. The man's tall figure landed, and he used both hands to control my arms, preventing me from moving.

In the dim light, the man's hard lines gradually softened, his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes gained a touch of haziness.

I waited for ages, and Gu Jinhuai only asked one question: "Zhou Nanzhi, when did you learn to drive?"

I stared at him blankly for a long time before finally speaking, my tone tinged with mockery: "Do you care?"

I met his gaze and said half-jokingly, "I told you it was something I learned in my past life, but you don't believe me. What can I do?"

"Let me go!"

I struggled, leaving red marks on my wrists. When Gu Jinhuai saw this, he frowned and unconsciously loosened his grip.

Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, I felt annoyed: "I learned it in my spare time, it's none of your business."

He was suspended in the air, keeping his distance from me, but our clothes were touching, and I could feel the friction after the slightest movement.

"Gu Jinhuai, if you don't let go, don't blame me for being impolite."

I gritted my teeth, my tone threatening, and glared at Gu Jinhuai with a menacing look in my eyes.

"How do you intend to be impolite?"

Gu Jinhuai narrowed his eyes, tightened his grip on my wrist slightly, and curled his lips into a slight smile.

I looked at my hand being held, a sly smile playing on my lips: "You said it!"

The next moment, I bent my knee and kicked him directly in the thigh.

But the man reacted faster, dodging to the side. The next moment, he increased his strength, pressing half of his weight onto me.

"Gu Jinhuai!"

My hands and feet were bound, and I couldn't move. I felt his faint, cool fragrance, and my ears turned red involuntarily. My eyes were misty, and my voice was angry, but it trembled slightly as he got closer.

"Zhou Nanzhi, I don't have anyone I like right now, you can pursue me."

Gu Jinhuai stared intently at me, his expression very serious.

I scoffed, looking at him casually, and said in a light tone, "Just because I don't like anyone, does that mean I should pursue you? Gu Jinhuai, you think too highly of yourself?"

"Zhou Nanzhi, if you put it that way, does that mean I should like you?"

Gu Jinhuai reached out and gently touched the corner of my eye, his gesture tender.

I don't know when, but tears welled up in my eyes. His eyes were filled with tenderness, and his words were incredibly touching.

If this were the old me, I would have been unable to resist falling for it, but now I only feel heartache, not excitement.

"What you like is your business, it has nothing to do with me."

These are the words that Gu Jinhuai said to me in my previous life.

I confessed my feelings to him after the college entrance exam, and the next day he openly rejected me in front of the entire school. That sentence is deeply imprinted in my mind.

Gu Jinhuai stared intently at me with his icy gaze. I gave a cold laugh and stared at him, asking, "Does this sound familiar? This is what I want to say to you right now."

I turned my head and bit his tiger's mouth hard. Gu Jinhuai groaned and subconsciously let go.

I shoved him away, stood up quickly, and prepared to run outside. The man behind me quickened his pace and soon caught up with me.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me into his arms, tightening his grip as if afraid I would run away.

"Gu Jinhuai, let go of me!"

I held his hand, trying to get him to let go, but no matter how hard I tried, he wouldn't let go.

"Zhou Nanzhi, Song Yuan and I..."

Before Gu Jinhuai could finish speaking, the door was pushed open, and Gu Zi pointed at Gu Jinhuai, complaining to the waiter, "It was him who suddenly barged in."

Gu Zi rushed up to me, looked me up and down, and asked with concern, "Zhizhi, are you alright?"

I shook my head, and Gu Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Jinhuai, are you alright?"

Song Yuan stepped past Gu Zi and stood next to Gu Jinhuai. She was about to take his arm when Gu Jinhuai avoided her.

Song Yuan's face was slightly pale, and tears glistened in her eyes, but she remained silent. Yet, the more she looked like this, the more pitiful she became.

"Mr. Gu..."

When the waiter saw Gu Jinhuai's appearance, an awkward look flashed across his face, and he looked troubled.

"Brother Jinhuai, all the hotel rooms here are full. Where should we go?"

Song Yuan seemed oblivious to Gu Jinhuai's coldness, and moved even closer to him, her voice soft and sweet.

Upon hearing Song Yuan's words, Gu Zi rolled her eyes and immediately began to shoo them away: "Please leave, everyone. Go wherever you want. We need to rest."

"Can I stay with you? Brother Jinhuai can share a room with my brother."

"Stop, the two of us are enough. We can't accommodate another person."

Just now, Song Yuzhou booked the last room.

Moss, standing to the side, nodded in response to Gu Zi's gaze.

"You want to live with me? Aren't you afraid I'll beat you to death tonight?"

“I’m a restless sleeper at night, I grind my teeth, snore, and kick off the covers. If you can handle it, come over.”

Gu Zi was fierce and determined to defend his authority to the death.

When everyone was at a stalemate, Gu Jinhuai looked at me, and in an instant, a bad feeling rose in my heart.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jinhuai walked towards me, grabbed my arm, and pulled me away.

Gu Zi called out from behind and was about to follow, but was frightened by a warning look from Gu Jinhuai.

Gu Zi's face turned pale, and she instinctively stopped in her tracks, too afraid to move.

"Brother Jinhuai!"

Song Yuan looked anxious, her voice trembling with tension. She had just started to chase after him when Gu Jinghuai glanced at her sideways, his voice as cold as ice: "Don't follow me."

Song Yuan's face turned pale, but she stopped and didn't dare to follow.

He pulled me all the way to the end of the corridor before letting go. Before he could speak, I scoffed, "You dragged me away in public, wanting to live with me? Or are you trying to retaliate for what I did today and ruin my reputation?"

"Zhou Nanzhi, why do you always make malicious assumptions? Is it because I rejected your confession after the college entrance exam? Are you satisfied now?"

Gu Jinhuai frowned deeply, his cold voice revealing a sense of helplessness.

As I listened to his words, I clenched my fists, my voice filled with anger: "Malicious speculation? You're right, I'm the only bad guy in the world. If that's the case, then stay away from me, and don't disgust yourself."

I left as soon as I finished speaking, and this time he didn't stop me.

I share a room with Gu Zi, and Song Yuzhou shares a room with Mo Si. As for Gu Jinhuai and Song Yuan, I don't know and don't want to know.

Even though I no longer liked him, seeing him with Song Yuan still made me feel a little uncomfortable, but in the end I convinced myself not to think about it.

I took out my tablet and drew an illustration, and didn't fall asleep until late at night.

The next day, Gu Zigang and I opened the door, only to find someone sitting in the corner.

"Brother, why are you sleeping on the floor?"

Gu Zi looked at the person sitting against the wall with a panicked expression, a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Gu Jinhuai was also awakened by Gu Zi's voice. When he looked up, he met my surprised gaze.
