Names mentioned in this chapter :

-苏芮 (sù ruì) – Su Rui, our female protagonist

-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead

-顾氏(gù shì)- Gu Company

-刘玲(Liú líng)- Liu Ling, Su Rui’s university roommate

After returning from City H, Su Rui had also finished her internship at Gu Company.

When she recalled the day she took the internship form to Gu Yu Cheng to sign and stamp it, he had an #‘I think your internship isn’t passable’ expression and he even said ‘my signature is very expensive’, Su Rui still found it amusing till now.

It was only after she had agreed to a number of conditions which made her “surrendered territories under humiliating terms” when a certain someone reluctantly signed her form with the words “Gu Yu Cheng”.

……

After finishing her internship, Su Rui also began to prepare for her school exams.

Ever since she arrived in this world and attended university again, Su Rui has been studying much more seriously than she did in the past.

However, exam week was still a nightmare for her.

……

Today, Gu Yu Cheng had to make an adjustment to the company’s project.

When he returned home in the evening, it was almost 10 o’clock.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Su Rui, who was wearing pajamas, hugging a book on the sofa. Her head was drooping, evidently fast asleep.

The corner of Gu Yu Cheng’s mouth curled a little. He changed his shoes and walked towards Su Rui quietly.

“Rui Rui” Gu Yu Cheng whispered in Su Rui’s ear.

“Oh… Yu Cheng?” Su Rui’s voice contained a tinge of sleepiness.

Gu Yu Cheng kissed Su Rui on the cheek. He carried her while saying, “Go sleep on the bed.”

“Hold on, what time is it?” Su Rui asked.

“Almost 10 o’clock.”

“Have you had dinner?”

“Yes, I ate at the office.”

“I’ll take you to bed.”

“No, I can’t. I’ve still got a number of pages to read.”

“You can read them tomorrow.”

“The exam is tomorrow.”

“Then go read it on the bed.” He was afraid that Su Rui would be uncomfortable if she slept on the sofa for a long time. Moreover, she would easily catch a cold.

Gu Yu Cheng got up and carried Su Rui to the bed.

……

Before Su Rui finished reading one question, Gu Yu Cheng had already washed up, changed his clothes and came out.

Gu Yu Cheng approached her and sat on the bed. He took Su Rui into his arms from the back and asked, “Which questions do you not know?”

“This chapter, I think it’s so hard. And these, the questions that I drew stars beside it.” It was said to be the focus of the examination.

“Let me see.” Taking the book from Su Rui’s hand, Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes skimmed over several questions.

“The reason for the first question is that the curve on the paper is more inclined towards the right than the curve on the reference. So…^[1]”

“The key points in the second question are in externalities, publicness, and ……”

“What about this one?”

“This one needs to be modelled first…”

……

Gu Yu Cheng explained the questions that Su Rui drew stars on.

It was a lot more efficient than Su Rui reading it herself.

“From what I have mentioned, is there anything else that I didn’t explain clearly or that you don’t understand?” Gu Yu Cheng asked.

When he lowered his head, he saw that Su Rui turned around slightly and turned her head to gaze straight at himself.

Su Rui looked at Gu Yu Cheng and questioned grimly, “Why do you know everything?”

She was now a little jealous of Gu Yu Cheng, how on earth did this guy manage to be such a top-student^[2]?

“What’s in here?” Su Rui muttered softly as she ‘retaliated’ by tugging at a strand of Gu Yu Cheng’s short hair at the back of his head. Seeing this, Gu Yu Cheng laughed in a low voice and caught Su Rui’s hand.

“It contains you.” Gu Yu Cheng said in Su Rui’s ear, in a serious manner.

The next second, he was already holding Su Rui’s hand, turned her around and lowered his head to seal Su Rui’s lips.

“Mm… Yu Cheng.”

“Is it over?” Pecking Su Rui’s lips lightly, Gu Yu Cheng asked softly.

Even though Su Rui was already a married woman, she could not help but blush.

Perhaps it was because she went to another city and was not acclimatized, but Su Rui did not expect that her period would start earlier after she returned from H City.

It had been over a week now, so it was actually over.

But!

She has exams tomorrow even though it starts in the afternoon!

“Wait for me to finish exams this week, hm?” With a tinge of coquettish in her tone, Su Rui nibbled on Gu Yu Cheng’s chin and glanced at him.

The slight stimulation on his chin caused Gu Yu Cheng to tense up a little and the Adam apple on his throat to move slightly. Gu Yu Cheng lowered his head and rested his forehead against Su Rui’s forehead.

“Yesterday, I found something while I was packing.”

“Hmm?” Originally, Su Rui was still a little puzzled about what Gu Yu Cheng had found.

In the next second, she heard Gu Yu Cheng say, “In a pink paper bag…”

“Stop!” Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words, Su Rui’s face turned red.

When she saw that Gu Yu Cheng was going to say more, Su Rui swiftly covered his mouth with her hand, almost without thinking.

Since it left a deep impression in her head, she didn’t even need Gu Yu Cheng to describe it. Just by hearing the words “pink paper bag”, Su Rui knew which one he was talking about.

“When did you buy it?”

It was bought during the time you went on a business trip.

No! It was bought by Tang Xiao, that hoodwinker, who fooled me.

Su Rui: …

She doesn’t want to answer this question.

Looking at the blush on Su Rui’s face, Gu Yu Cheng smiled.

Looking at Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng asked again, “You haven’t worn it before?”

At this moment, the glint in Gu Yu Cheng’s dazzling eyes contained ‘eagerness to give it a try’ where it was impossible for Su Rui to feign blind and not see it.

“That’ll be after exam week.” Su Rui said ‘forcefully’.

“Oh right!”

“What’s wrong?” Gu Yu Cheng asked as he watched Su Rui about to get up from the bed.

“I still have a big assignment for a case study to do.”

The teacher of this subject was very kind in not scheduling an exam, however, the big assignment was not easy either.

“Is it due tomorrow?”

“Not due, but there will be a check tomorrow.”

Probably finally realizing that he had ‘held up’ Su Rui recently, Gu Yu Cheng was very quiet and did not affect Su Rui this time.

Only when he saw Su Rui’s upper and lower eyelids struggling in front of the desk did Gu Yu Cheng carry Su Rui back to bed with some distress.

“I fell asleep?”

“Go to sleep.”

“Oh, but…”

“Sleep for a while before you get up.”

“Then I’ll set an alarm.”

“No, I’ll wake you up.”

Upon hearing that, Su Rui nodded in Gu Yu Cheng’s arms with her eyes closed.

“Then I’ll sleep for 30 minutes and you wake me.”

“En, go to sleep.”

Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s low and unhurried voice in her ear, Su Rui was reassured by it and closed her eyes.

But to her surprise, when she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.

“Gu Yu Cheng!”

“Awake?” Gu Yu Cheng lowered himself and gave a kiss on Su Rui’s forehead. He smiled and said, “Wash up and have breakfast, then I’ll take you to school.”
