Her finger still pressed against her lips, which still felt scaldingly hot. She dared not close her eyes because whenever she did, clear, lifelike images would haunt her, making her heart race and her blood boil, as if she had experienced a grand dream of spring.
Just like Mickey said, she was nothing more than a stand-in.
Gu Qili sighed for a while and decided not to think about these things anymore; she needed to conserve her energy for tomorrow’s exam.
Right now, nothing was more important to her than the exam.
She had glanced at the clock just now; it was already past one o’clock. If she didn’t sleep soon, she would really mess up the exam tomorrow.
Gu Qili tried hard to close her eyes and empty her mind of all thoughts...
In the early morning, she was awakened by the sound of water pouring.
Groggily sitting up from the couch, she saw a slender figure standing in the dining room, pouring water into a glass with elegant poise. The coffee machine already had beans in it, just not brewed yet.
Usually, it was her job to make coffee; the young master Shuoqian never involved himself in such tasks.
Just as Gu Qili was about to get up to make coffee for him, she looked up to see the man standing there with his head lowered. Her heart once again raced uncontrollably,
Her face involuntarily flushed, and her steps hesitated, unable to move forward.
Sensing her gaze, Mu Shuoqian turned his head to look her way. He shifted his body slightly, leaning casually against the bar,
His mouth carrying a faint smell of tobacco and a strong scent of red wine.
His tongue was smooth and flexible, his teeth white and neat.
Gu Qili didn’t understand why she suddenly thought of these things and felt so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a crevice.
Having gone through the same situation, she looked more like a panicked criminal, whereas he appeared innocent and composed, ?
Mu Shuoqian drank half a glass of water and naturally raised his wrist, his gaze falling back on Gu Qili, who stood like a silly goose, staring straight at him: "Isn’t your exam today?"
"Ah!" Gu Qili screamed suddenly, sprang up to him, grabbed his wrist, and stared intensely at his watch: "Oh no, oh no, I’m going to be late."
While hurriedly getting ready, she complained to him: "Why didn’t you remind me earlier?"
Mu Shuoqian put the glass on the bar. Compared to her panic, he was calm and unhurried: "I thought you hadn’t had your fill of looking, I couldn’t bear to disturb you."
She couldn’t be bothered to argue with him now, shoving all her exam materials into her backpack and rushing out the door, pushing past Mu Shuoqian with annoyance: "Excuse me." This text is hosted at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
It was all his fault. If he hadn’t come back in the dead of night to disturb her, would she be frantically worrying about being late now?
If she really was late, she would definitely take a bomb and go down with him.
