Chapter 104
"Pfft!"
Gu Huaian's serious explanation of his expression was really adorable.
"What about you? What were you like before?"
When Shen Tang heard Gu Huaian's words, her thoughts drifted uncontrollably to the past.
Because she was an orphan, besides studying and taking care of the children, what Shen Tang did most was to take on part-time jobs.
At that time, she was young, and many shop owners were unwilling to hire her. Finally, she took the initiative to ask for half the wages before someone dared to employ her.
When others went out to play, she was working; when others coaxed their parents, she was also working.
The school uniform was the one she wore most throughout the year. To be honest, she didn't feel tired at that time, on the contrary, she felt very fulfilled.
But now, if she had to live like that again, she was afraid she wouldn't have that kind of perseverance anymore.
She still remembered washing dishes in the kitchen in the depths of winter, her hands even had chilblains, which was very itchy.
Hearing these thoughts, Gu Huaian's eyes turned red with distress.
His Tang Tang had such a hard time before...
Shen Tang said with a smile, "There's nothing much to say about when I was in school. I was more introverted at that time and didn't have many friends."
She didn't encounter what was written in novels, like being bullied, being abused, after all, life is not a novel.
Most of her classmates were very nice. The few unfriendly ones were also beaten friendly by her.
Gu Huaian leaned sideways and hugged her in his arms, stroking her smooth hair, "I will treat you well."
Shen Tang struggled to look up, "How well? Let me touch your abs?"
The driver sitting in the front row silently raised the partition.
Was this free content he could listen to?
Gu Huaian's previous emotions were swept away by Shen Tang's words.
"What are you always thinking in your head?"
"Abs."
"Oh, and pecs too."
Gu Huaian: "..."
He took Shen Tang's hand and slowly reached into his clothes...
The soft, cool little hand slid back and forth on his abdomen. Gu Huaian only felt his lower abdomen tighten, and his whole body became uncomfortable.
After a while, he asked hoarsely, "Haven't you touched enough?" [Wow, so this is what abs feel like...]
[Not enough touches! Not enough touches!]
Reluctant in her mind, in reality, Shen Tang pretended to be calm and withdrew her hand, "Touched enough."
Gu Huaian sighed, then pulled her hand back, "Let you touch some more."
Oh well, he had to indulge the one he chose.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Gu Huaian kept chanting this in his heart, but it didn't work.
His attention inevitably fell on the little hand on his abdomen, soft, cool, making his skin tingle.
He grabbed Shen Tang's hand, "Next time to touch again."
Although Shen Tang hadn't touched enough, from Gu Huaian's slightly hurried breathing and hoarse voice, she realized something was wrong with him.
She sat quietly next to him and didn't make any more mischief for the rest of the trip.
Just talking big, when it came to actual practice, she still had very little courage.
The two were quiet all the way until they got home. Only then did Shen Tang realize there was only one bedroom here.
So wouldn't the two have to sleep together?
Shen Tang was fine, but Gu Huaian was nervous and clumsy, "Do you want to shower first or should I go first?"
"I'll go first, it takes me longer to blow dry my hair."
"Okay, I'll go have an international conference call first."
Looking at the time, it was almost midnight. Shen Tang didn't expect him to still have to work this late.
Even after she had finished bathing and came out, Gu Huaian was not done yet.
Shen Tang wiped her hair and walked over, afraid of encountering the same situation as last time, she just glanced from afar, and sure enough he was in a video conference.
Without disturbing him, she blow-dried her hair and lay in bed playing on her phone.
However, no matter how interesting the short videos and jokes were, she couldn't really get into them. Her mind was full of the two soon sharing a bed.
Shen Tang gently patted her cheeks, "Shen Tang, you really have no backbone. It's not like you haven't lived together before."
But the situation was different then. At that time, he was the sugar daddy, and her mindset was to "serve" him well.
Now the two had become boyfriend and girlfriend. Some things were probably unavoidable.
The more Shen Tang thought about it, the more R-rated it became, and she finally hid under the quilt completely.
In the living room, Gu Huaian, who was still in the meeting, suddenly froze.
Question: What is it like to have a girlfriend with too wild an imagination?
This question could probably only be answered by Gu Huaian.
Right in the middle of a proper meeting, suddenly hearing the R-rated content imagined by his girlfriend in her mind, he almost couldn't maintain his expression.
Was this meeting absolutely necessary now?
It really was. After all, it was an international conference call, with different time zones.
Gu Huaian suppressed the urge to leave and earnestly continued the meeting.
When it finally ended, he hurried back to the bedroom, only to find that Shen Tang was already asleep, her head still covered by the quilt.
He gently flipped part of the quilt down.
Shen Tang didn't even open her eyes, mumbling groggily, "Are you done with work?"
"Yeah, go back to sleep first, I'll go take a shower."
"Oh..."
Afraid the noise would be too loud, Gu Huaian simply rinsed off and then returned to the bedroom.
The bed was very big, and he lay on the other side. Although they couldn't even touch each other, he was excitedly unable to fall asleep for a while.
He opened WeChat, and the other two guys in their small group were still chatting, as they were night owls.
[Gu Huaian: Help me think of a good way to propose]
[Cen Songbai: ??? Propose? ]
[Fu Junsheng: Brother Gu, aren't you two already married?]
[Gu Huaian: We only registered, haven't had the proposal or wedding ceremony yet]
[Cen Songbai: Brother Gu, your order is really different from others]
[Gu Huaian: Help me think of a good proposal ceremony]
In fact, Cen Songbai and Fu Junsheng were also both lifelong bachelors until now. Their families were urging them too, but before, they had Gu Huaian as a shield.
Until a while ago, he secretly got married.
The two were most worried that their families would find out about this and force them to hurry up and find someone to marry too.
They didn't want to be matched in arranged marriages between prominent families, and in a short time they couldn't find a girl they liked either, so where could they go get married?
Their parents were so strict about them not having relationships in school, but after graduation they started urging them to hurry up and get married and have kids. These parents really left them speechless.
So the proposals suggested by the two bachelors weren't great either.
[Cen Songbai: How about arranging 999 roses on the ground in a heart shape with candles, and proposing on one knee?]
[Fu Junsheng: Cheesy]
[Cen Songbai: Then you suggest something?]
[Fu Junsheng: I say, just book an entire Western restaurant, listen to music, eat a candlelight dinner, put the ring in the dessert your sister-in-law is eating, and when she eats it, Brother Gu get down on one knee and propose]
[Cen Songbai: ??? Put the ring in the dessert, isn't that dirty? No, how did you come up with this?]
[Fu Junsheng: I saw it in a TV show, they did it this way, there must be a reason. I saw the female lead was moved to tears, what do you know!]
[Cen Songbai: Just make a suggestion, why start cursing people?]
And so, the two started arguing.
Gu Huaian: "..."
Gu Huaian felt this suggestion wasn't great either.
He was foolish, he shouldn't have asked these two.
