"Ci is a young woman, what are you doing, telling her all that history? Who wants to listen to you chatter on?"Not to be outdone, Mother Huo smiled sweetly at Gu Jiuci."Ci, at a later date, I'll introduce you and you can join the Mensa Club?""Ah... I..."Gu Jiuci stuttered, not sure what to say. As she was panicking, Huo Mingche's voice sounded out beside her."When she was in her last year of middle school, she already joined the Mensa Club."As Huo Mingche spoke leisurely, he placed a peeled shrimp onto Gu Jiuci's plate."Tsk, tsk, do you know everything about Ci?" Mother Huo raised her eyebrow and said with some jealousy."I know everything."Huo Mingche didn't notice her tone at all and he was even a little proud.Hearing this, Mother Huo's temper immediately vanished. "Why am I looking for things that make me unhappy?""Perhaps her IQ is higher than yours now."Mother Huo was about to give in, but a certain man who wanted to see the world burn quietly slipped in ano
The only calm person present was Huo Mingche. After all, he was a glacier and could still hand her napkins and clean her up under these circumstances without a change in his expression.All through dinner and while playing with the Rubik's cube with Mother Huo, Gu Jiuci's face remained on fire and the heat never dissipated in the slightest.Her mind wasn't on the Rubik's cube at all. Instead, she was thinking about Grandfather Huo's words.Incidentally, ever since she had moved to the Phoenix Lodge she had shared the bed every night with the devil, but they hadn't had any intimate contact.Every day, the devil was always working overtime. When she fell asleep, she had no idea what time the devil came to bed and when she woke, the devil had already been up for a long time. It felt the same as if she was sleeping on her own.Even if there had been intimate actions in her dreams, she didn't remember at all.With Grandfather Huo's reminder, she couldn't help but take notice."Since
"I didn't see anything! You, you, you... you're not allowed to speak such nonsense!""My god! Just now, I was staring at him like a pervert! I cannot admit to such an embarrassing thing!""Such duplicity, my little one."Huo Mingche's lips curved up slightly and he reached out a hand to stroke her hair.Gu Jiuci was about to cry with awkwardness before he finally removed his hand and headed to the bed.Sensing Huo Mingche's movement, she secretly peeked through her fingers, and her eyes quickly and smoothly locked onto the devil's back."As expected, this is a figure to captivate the women of the imperial capital, who wouldn't be moved...""Aren't you going to shower?"The man's long fingers rested at his waist as if he was going to take off his towel. This scared Gu Jiuci right into the bathroom and she shut the door heavily behind her with a crash."Yes, yes, yes! I'm going to shower!"Sounds of the girl trying to cover up her blunder came from the bathroom and Huo Mingche
"Ah? What? What did you do?"She raised her head with a confused expression. She had no idea what the devil was saying.She unexpectedly met Huo Mingche's fiery gaze, and the man suddenly rose and walked toward her with large steps.It was his mistake. Whatever little trick he wanted to play always ended up backfiring on him. When she walked out in his white shirt, Huo Mingche knew that he had been completely defeated by her. All his reasoning was gone, and all that was left was basic human urges!"You..."While she was completely unprepared, he scooped her up and carried her eagerly to the bed. Then, as his habit, he placed her down carefully."What, what, what, what are you doing?"Gu Jiuci was stuttering in her nervousness. She unconsciously covered her chest with her hands and couldn't even look Huo Mingche in the eye."Xiao Jiu'er, look at me."The man's deep and magnetic voice was filled with charm, like a poison designed just for Gu Jiuci. She turned obediently toward h
She had just started to speak and the devil's face immediately darkened.Gu Jiuci quivered in fear and, filled with a desire to live, she immediately began to explain wildly."I didn't know it would suddenly come so early, you..."The wild tempest that had raged in the man's deep eyes completely disappeared upon seeing her face that was wrinkled with remorse."If I had known earlier, I would have..."Before Gu Jiuci had finished speaking, the man abruptly turned off the bed light. The room suddenly went dark and cut off the rest of her words."Sleep."In the darkness, the man stretched out his long arm and accurately wrapped it around her waist, and pulled her into his warm chest.Gu Jiuci's heart once again began to thud wildly. The two of them were pressed tightly together and she clearly felt the temperature under the blanket plummet to below zero. Immediately after, the sound of grinding teeth came from above her head.Pettily, Gu Jiuci pretended to be ignorant and huddled
While she was at home on the weekend, Gu Jiuci had already come up with a plan to apologize to Si Chen. Just as the devil had said she would refuse to give up, and furthermore... thicken her skin even more."You..."Si Chen immediately looked around. As expected, everyone's eyes were centered on them. She wanted to stubbornly walk away, but her body made the honest choice and accepted the cake from Gu Jiuci's hands."Even if I eat your cake... it... doesn't mean I've completely forgiven you!" Si "too-proud-too-admit-defeat" Chen said awkwardly."I know, I know. You've already forgiven me 50%. I'll work even harder!"Without giving it any mind, Gu Jiuci nodded with a smile.Si Chen immediately bristled."Who said it's 50%? It's clearly only...""Only how much?" Gu Jiuci immediately followed up with a question.Only now did Si Chen realize she had fallen into Gu Jiuci's verbal trap, but the words were already spoken and couldn't be taken back. She could only forge ahead and answ
Xu Yun'er saw Gu Jiuci's complete lack of understanding and was about to explode with anger."Ci, that's not what I mean. My point is that you've already broken it off with Si Chen, and the damage is done. You should give up!""Why?"Gu Jiuci pretended to change her expression and stared meaningfully at Xu Yun'er."Cousin, I only have you as my friend in this school, isn't it too lonely? Didn't you teach me to make lots of friends in the past? Didn't you say that to make friends I'll need to give generous gifts and not care about a momentary offense that I would have to tolerate a friend's stubbornness? I'm doing as you said, why aren't you happy?""I said that in the past because..."Xu Yun'er's face was red from holding back her words. She had said all that earlier to lure Gu Jiuci into making bad friends, drinking friends so that she could conveniently tame her. She wanted Gu Jiuci to be generous so that she would pay for her, not so that Si Chen could take advantage!Gu Jiuc
"Miss Gu."At this time, Aunt Ming walked into the classroom with a lunch box. Gu Jiuci was confused. The devil had already put a hundred thousand onto her lunch card, why was Aunt Ming still coming?"Aunt Ming, why are you here today?""It's like this. The Young Master gave particular orders for me to make some blood-replenishing foods for you since your body is in a special condition today. This is the longan swallow's nest that I've simmered for three hours. Hurry and try it," Aunt Ming said in a warm voice as she stared at Gu Jiuci.To the side, Xu Yun'er heard Aunt Ming's words and saw the other's face, and she then felt that something was wrong. She immediately pretended to be concerned and went to take Gu Jiuci's hand."Ci, what's wrong? Did you get hurt somewhere? Or are you sick?"Gu Jiuci stretched out her hand to accept the bowl Aunt Ming was handing over and perfectly avoided Xu Yun'er's claws.Before she had a chance to reply to Xu Yun'er, Aunt Ming replied excitedl
