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

Chapter 84

He was tall and stood right in front of me. I couldn't see his face clearly, so I rubbed my eyes.

When I saw the person in front of me clearly, I was stunned for a moment. Finally, after thinking of something, I said in a muffled voice, "Why don't you even leave me alone in my dreams? I have nothing now. I've lost my studies and can't find a job. I'm living worse than a dog. Are you satisfied? Isn't it satisfying?"

I was crying and laughing at the same time. Finally, I opened the can and was about to drink when the can was taken away from my hand.

"Hmm...where's my wine?"

My vision blurred, my eyes were brimming with tears, and I rubbed my hands on the coffee table. The next moment, my feet left the ground as Gu Jinhuai lifted me onto the sofa.

"I want to go back to school and marry me."

Gu Jinhuai sat next to me, his dark and deep eyes fixed on me without blinking.

The long-lost voice rang in my ears, and my mind went blank; I forgot to react for a moment.

With wet eyes, flushed cheeks, and a faint smell of alcohol, I tilted my head and stared at the person in front of me. Finally, I reached out and pinched his cheek, saying angrily, "Anyway, it's just a dream. It's okay to be a little reckless and vent."

I pinched his face harder, and the next moment, I felt a sharp pain in my wrist. I instinctively let go, and then the man grabbed my chin: "Zhou Nanzhi, there's a limit to how crazy you can be."

“Ouch, that hurts!”

I frowned, instinctively trying to break free from his wrist. My hazy consciousness gradually cleared, and I blinked subconsciously. My vision became clear, and I stared at the man so close to me, instantly becoming still.

"Awake?"

Gu Jinhuai's voice was deep and his tone was cold.

"Gu Jinhuai!"

I gently called his name, stared at him quietly, and finally pouted and burst into tears: "Why won't you let me go? I'm so far away from you. All I did was slap your mother. You're so petty, you won't even let me go in your dreams."

I didn't notice Gu Jinhuai's increasingly dark expression as I kept crying and complaining.

"You're justified in hitting someone?"

After a long while, Gu Jinhuai's voice rang out softly.

"They started it, I was just retaliating, what's wrong with that? I'm not a doormat."

"You've shown favoritism more than once or twice, so get out of my dreams. I don't want to see you."

As I spoke, I started pushing people, and Gu Jinhuai grabbed my arm tightly.

"You're not leaving, huh? Fine, let's see how I deal with you."

As I spoke, I stood up from the sofa, looked around, and scanned the surroundings, trying to find something.

"You wait."

I staggered toward the kitchen, and without warning, I stepped on an empty can, causing me to fall backward. I cried out in surprise and tumbled onto the sofa, hitting the back of my head on the man's chin. A sharp pain shot through me, instantly sobering me up, and the alcohol wore off a bit with the pain.

A muffled groan came from above my head, and my back stiffened instantly. The cool, minty scent of the man filled my nostrils, and I realized that this was not a dream, but reality.

The moment the thought crossed my mind, I turned around abruptly and met the man's dark, deep eyes, which were staring at me intently.

"You, what are you doing in my house?"

I instinctively stood up from him, my eyes filled with terror.

"Zhou Nanzhi, I saved you, why don't you come to see me?"

Gu Jinhuai spoke softly, and there was a hint of grievance in his eyes as he looked at me.

"I……"

For a moment, I dared not meet his gaze.

I glanced at him absently, but I noticed that his face was frighteningly pale, and his lips were also pale. Yet his eyes were as gentle as fire, burning my heart.

"You know what kind of person your mother is."

I immediately shifted the blame to his mother, but Gu Jinhuai chuckled lightly, followed by a low cough. I was terrified that something might happen to him with me, and if Madam Gu found out, I would be in even worse shape.

"You'd better leave now, don't stay here."

"If your mother finds out, she'll skin me alive."

I murmured softly.

"Are you scared now?"

Gu Jinhuai glanced at me indifferently, his tone light and casual.

"I……"

I was speechless for a moment and stopped refuting.

"How did you get in?"

I belatedly realized what was happening, looked at him with wary eyes, and asked him a question.

"You left the door unlocked when you went out."

Gu Jinhuai stared at me intently with his dark eyes, his tone light and airy.

"How could that be? My memory isn't that bad!"

I started to recall what had just happened. I went downstairs to buy beer and forgot about this incident. I didn't know if I had locked the door or not.

However, considering Gu Jinhuai's status, getting in would be a piece of cake.

"No matter how you got in, please leave now."

I stood up and was about to go open the door when Gu Jinhuai grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his arms.

I instinctively wanted to resist, but when I saw his pale face, I instinctively withdrew my hand.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jinhuai's fingers gently touched my cheek, tidied the hair by my ear, his expression serious and his voice solemn: "Zhizhi, I had a dream, a dream that was so long, so long that it felt like I had lived a lifetime."

When Gu Jinhuai said this, his voice was deep and tinged with nostalgia.

I could clearly sense his low spirits, but I still wanted to push him away, and said coldly, "Gu Jinhuai, I'm not interested in your dreams."

"But you're in my dreams."

Gu Jinhuai looked at me with a complicated expression, put one hand on my waist and the other hand on the back of my head, his tone serious.

"That's your business, not mine."

I spoke coldly, not wanting to say anything more to him.

Gu Jinhuai stared intently at me. The atmosphere was tense and quiet. Suddenly, my phone rang, and both Gu Jinhuai and I turned our attention to the phone screen on the coffee table.

"Your sister."

I instinctively reached for my phone, but Gu Jinhuai stopped me.

"what are you doing?"

I looked annoyed and tried to push him away to answer the phone.

"That's your sister too."

I was taken aback by Gu Jinhuai's words. I don't know why, but I felt that he was acting strangely.

"Are you sure the car accident didn't damage your brain? What nonsense are you spouting?"

I glared at him, and the next moment, I saw the man's face turn black at a visible speed. I shrank my neck, trying to get away from him, and the next moment, my chin was pinched.

"If you damage it, you're responsible."

Gu Jinhuai smiled meaningfully, his voice low and deep.

During the argument, Gu Zi's call ended. I glanced at it and instinctively wanted to call back, but Gu Jinhuai stopped me.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

My words trailed off as a sudden thought struck me. I looked at him and asked, "You didn't sneak out without telling them, did you?"

Gu Jinhuai stared at me without saying a word. My breath caught in my throat; it seemed to be true.

"Go back now and don't cause me any trouble."

I have nothing left now, and I don't want to be left without even a good job.

I pulled him and tried to push him out.

"Get out of here right now, don't stay in my house."

I frowned, and just as I pulled the person to the door and pushed it open with my left hand, I saw Gu Zi standing at the door, about to knock.

"Zhizhi, my brother..."

Before Gu Zi could finish speaking, she saw Gu Jinhuai standing next to me.

"Brother, you're really here?"

Gu Zi's tone was one of surprise.

"he……"

Just as I was about to explain, I saw Madam Gu storm over, shove Gu Zi aside, and glare at me.

“Zhou Nanzhi, you…”

My face paled, bracing myself for Madam Gu's insults. Then, Gu Jinhuai stretched out his long arm, put his arm around my shoulder, looked directly at Madam Gu, and said in a cold tone, "Mom, I came here on my own. It has nothing to do with her. What I told you before was true."

"You've gone too far! If you marry her, don't acknowledge me as your mother."

Madam Gu glared at me angrily, then looked at Gu Jinhuai, her voice harsh.

Gu Jinhuai frowned slightly, and his voice turned cold: "We've already registered our marriage, whether you agree or not is not up to you."

Gu Jinhuai looked at me with a guilty expression, as if he had thought of something.

I stared at him, puzzled, and in the end, I didn't say anything.

Gu Zi, who was standing to the side, watched as her mother and brother argued and were about to drag her into it. Seeing that her mother was about to hit her, Gu Zi stopped her.

"Mom, my brother just woke up. What if he faints again if he gets a shock?"

“He can look for Zhou Nanzhi the moment he opens his eyes, so what kind of stimulation could he possibly be experiencing? I'm the one who should be experiencing the stimulation.”

Madam Gu sneered and replied, finally fixing her gaze on me with a warning in her tone: "Zhou Nanzhi, as long as I am alive, you will never set foot in the Gu family."
