Chapter 33: Seriously Falling in Love + Wants A Kiss
When Tao Ruan woke up from her dream, as expected her underwear is soaked.
Thinking of Gu Zhizhou's behavior and her own response, she is mortified and wants the ground to swallow her.
As she was thinking about Gu Zhizhou, she receive a new message.
["What do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you?"] he texted.
What!? So when its morning, he became gentle with her again?
Tao Ruan sat up from the bed, thought about it, and typed a reply, ["Don't you want to tell me anything?"]
Gu Zhizhou quickly replied, ["Girlfriend, good morning."]
Sure enough Tao Ruan blushed.
["Get up now! It's already 8:20, you wont have time to eat breakfast."] Gu Zhizhou sent her another message.
Tao Ruan only noticed the time. "!!!"
She has to take a bath and she got only few minutes.
Fortunately she have enough time, and hurriedly rushed downstairs. As soon as she arrive downstairs she saw Gu Zhizhou waiting, with hot milk and breakfast in his hand.
Seeing his face, Tao Ruan can't help but blush then lifted her school bag in her shoulder.
The Gu Zhizhou in front of her has regained his usual warm and gentle appearance, as if the man who f*cked her in her dreams is not him.
Tao Ruan remembers her conjecture yesterday.
Could Gu Zhizhou really have split personality?
"Have breakfast first, then I'll send you to class." Gu Zhizhou watched Tao Ruan standing still and walked up to her.
Tao Ruan is more embarrassed, and hurriedly said stated, "No need, Senior, aren't you busy with your graduation thesis?
"I can't ignore my girlfriend no matter how busy I am." Gu Zhizhou touched her head.
Tao Ruan's heatbeat accelerated again.
In fact, Gu Zhizhou's different ways of treating her should make her angry, but when she thinks about Gu Zhizhou really liking her and him having some mental problems, Tao Ruan is completely drained of anger.
Forget it….
Since Gu Zhizhou's feeling is genuine and she really likes him back, she should be more tolerant.
As for Gu Zhizhou's specific problem, she has to observe slowly. After all, asking someone if they have mental problem is very rude and offending, so she should not ask directly.
"Why are you quiet?" Gu Zhizhou asked Tao Ruan.
Tao Ruan simply shook her head and smiled softly, "Let's go and have some breakfast."
Since Gu Zhizhou is gentle and considerate to her in daytime, she should forgive him for bullying her at night.
In the next few days, Gu Zhizhou keeps bringing her breakfast every morning. The two began to have simple and sweet relationship like any high school sweethearts. They occasionally watch movies, go shopping, and calling each other before bed to say goodnight.
Gu Zhizhou has not entered her dreams since the last time, she also has not receive any erotic messages from his other phone.
Tao Ruan is still wondering about this, is it because they have established their relationship that Gu Zhizhou's mental problem has became stable? Is that why he no longer sent any erotic messages and no longer harassses her in her dreams?
But these are just her speculations, amd Tao Ruan doesn't really know what is going on.
Later, she asked Gu Xiao about Gu Zhizhou's mental problem. Gu Xiao looked at her seriously and hurriedly said that she was talking nonsense, and she should enjoy her relationship with Gu Zhizhou.
Of course Tao Ruan wants to have a long lasting relationship with Gu Zhizhou.
However, Gu Zhizhou in reality has not done anything to her, except for the kiss when he confessed to her, he has not kiss her again.
Tao Ruan is actually a bit dissatisfied.
To have such a handsome and walking hormone boyfriend beside her who only holds her hands and briefly hugs her, she thinks its a waste of resources.
Moreover, Tao Ruan has tasted Gu Zhizhou's sexual capabilities in her dreams, which is beyond her expectations….Of course she did not want to progress so fast in reality, but at least she deserves another kiss, right?
They are already in a confirmed relationship.
So on Friday night Tao Ruan sent a message to Gu Zhizhou stating that he does not need to come tomorrow, instead she'll be dropping by in his apartment.
["Dropping by my apartment, aren't you afraid of what I will do to you?"] he texted her back.
Tao Ruan almost didn't reply to him, but she calmed down.
She hesitated and turned over several times on her bed then bravely replied, ["Then, what do you want to do to me?"]
["I want to kiss you"] Gu Zhizhou's replied.
Tao Ruan fell into a sweet and restful sleep.
She did not dream of Gu Zhizhou visiting her in her dream, but she still felt very satisfied and happy.
When she woke up she did not call Gu Zhizhou, she planned to let Gu Zhizhou sleep a little longer. Then she dressed up especially, bought breakfast, and took the bus to Gu Zhizhou's apartment.
Gu Zhizhou's apartment building is not far away, its only one stop, and soon Tao Ruan arrived at her destination. She unexpectedly meets someone familiar.
Its her former roommate, Lu YiQian.
Lu YiQian stops in front of Gu Zhizhou who was running in the morning. She's not her usual cold self, but with tears in her face, "Senior Gu, how can you be with someone with a vicious heart like Tao Ruan? Did you know what she did to me? Just yesterday she found someone to pour a bucket of ice water on me…."
Gu Zhizhou not only lost his gentle and warm appearance but he also interruped her rudely, "You're accusing someone who is innocent. I did it, I'm the one who asked someone to do that to you."
"Wh, what?" Lu YiQian couldn't believe it.
Gu Zhizhou's expression is cold and his eyes darkened, "The moment you pour water on Ruan Ruan, you should have thought of the consequence."
Lu YiQian had a grim expression when she heard this. She gritted her teeth and asked Gu Zhizhou, "Did Tao Ruan complain about me to you?"
When she said this, she reached out and grabbed Gu Zhizhou's hands.
Gu Zhizhou's expression changed in an instant, he did not hesitate to throw Lu YiQian aside and glanced at his hand that had been touched, his face instantly darkens.
He turned around and ledt.
"Senior!" Lu YiQian fell to the ground, calling him from behind, but Gu Zhizhou did not look back at all, instead he walked faster.
Tao Ruan felt something is wrong with Gu Zhizhou's reaction.
She walked out from where she was hiding and tried to catch up with Gu Zhizhou, but she couldn't chase him at all.
Fortunately, Gu Zhizhou had already given her the apartment password yesterday. Tao Ruan entered the apartment and heard the sound of water splashing.
"Senior?" she hesitantly raised her voice.
She walked over puzzledly, and saw Gu Zhizhou rubbing his hands vigorously under the faucet, rubbing his hands red and keeps washing them over and over again, letting water splash on his clothes.
"Senior!" Tao Ruan shouts worriedly.
Gu Zhizhou's expression and state of mind are all too wrong. Tao Ruan hurriedly went to shut off the faucet and holds Gu Zhizhou's hands. Gu Zhizhou subconsciously wanted to push her away, but when he saw that it was her in front of him, his expression slighty recovered.
"Ruan Ruan…" Gu Zhizhou calls her name softly.
Tao Ruan's eyes are red.
What happened to Gu Zhizhou? Did he have OCD? Does he not like others touching him? Or did something else happen at that time? What's going on?
"I'm okay," Gu Zhizhou smiled at her, then pulled back his hands. "Hey, don't touch me, I'm dirty."
"What dirty? You've already washed it very clean." regardless, Tao Ruan hugged him, embedding herself in Gu Zhizhou's arms.
Gu Zhizhou's body stiffened then slowly relax under Tao Ruan's embrace.
