CH 16

There was no need to talk about what happened in the bathroom. Guo Zhi felt that the shoulder and back pain accumulated throughout the week were cured. She laid on the bed, sighing comfortably.

“Sister Guo…”

Alex took another shower, came out, and saw that Guo Zhi was lying on the bed with a towel draped on herself.

He took away the towel and kissed her.

Guo Zhi was so comfortable that she closed her eyes and savoured his warm lips and burning hands.

“Alex,” she suddenly called him.

“Hm?” Alex responded.

Guo Zhi asked: “Do you have anything to do tomorrow morning?”

“I don’t.” Alex turned his head to look at her and saw that her eyes were still closed: “What’s wrong?”

“If there is nothing, don’t leave so early. Sleep enough before leaving.” Guo Zhi’s eyes were still closed, “don’t make breakfast for me in the morning, just call delivery and rest properly…”  

Alex blinked and replied with a soft ‘okay’. He lowered his head and kissed her nape…

Guo Zhi could clearly feel that he had improved by a lot since their first time together. After just one week, he had already learned everything she had taught him and was even better!

She suddenly wanted to laugh.

She moved her head to look at the kid, and the kid leaned close to kiss her.

Guo Zhi licked his lips: “Alex…”

“Hm?” The boy pursued his lips and licked back, “sister Guo?”

“Call me Guo Zhi…” Guo Zhi’s tongue teased the boy’s tongue.

The boy paused and called out: “Guo Zhi…”

“Hm…” Guo Zhi responded.

Alex became happy and called again: “Guo Zhi.”

Guo Zhi laughed.

When the feeling of pleasure passed, he pressed over her body, and both panted. Guo Zhi hugged Alex’s neck and closed her eyes. Alex also closed his eyes, buried his head on her neck, and hugged her tightly.

Right in this moment, no matter if it was a woman who had already attained success in the city, or a boy whose life was still a mess, they both felt that the exhaustion disappeared and that the mind and body became charged with energy.

In this city, there were too many men and women who were the same as them, far way from their homes, working alone in the capital. Sometimes, they would seek solace in each other.

Sex soothed more than just the body.

The loneliness of falling into sleep by oneself also seemed to melt away temporarily.

It was unknown if it was only an illusion…

Guo Zhi woke up when morning light began to bloom in the sky. Her body felt like it was a little boat that was being tossed around by wind and waves. She lifted the eyelid of one eye and closed it immediately after.

In between the joy there was also worry. After having a taste of an energetic man, will I be able to go back to men who are the same age as me? Will I have to continue looking for young men?

But… personally looking over them, personally guiding them, personally feeling it, the process of a little boy turning into a man… it seems like, it’s a bit interesting.

Guo Zhi’s mouth rose into a smile.

After falling back asleep and waking up again, the other side of the bed was already empty. For a moment, Guo Zhi felt some disappointment in her heart. She flipped herself and could not stop a sigh from coming out. She buried her head in the pillow.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound coming from the living room… Guo Zhi was startled, got up, and walked out of the bedroom with a towel around herself.

Alex was collecting the clothes in the balcony. Last night, Guo Zhi had said that the smell in his clothes was too strong and told him to throw them into the washing machine. After they finished their rounds of exercise, Guo Zhi had completely forgotten about the matter. In the end, after she slept because of how exhausted she was, Alex got up, rapidly washed the clothes, and hung them to dry.

Summer clothes dried rapidly; one night was enough to dry them. Alex was skilled and he smoothly collected Guo Zhi’s clothes at the same time. When he touched some of the garments, they felt both dry and hard, and it was unknown for how much time they had been drying for.

He remembered that Guo Zhi said that she had been busy for the whole week, working overtime everyday, and comprehended. He also conveniently helped her tidy her messy living room.

“Alex!” Right after she came out of her bedroom, she saw that Alex was stacking the clothes, and her mood became good. “I thought you had already left.”

Guo Zhi did not like it when men left immediately after doing it. However, because of her personality that was used to being prideful, she never deigned to tell the men “I don’t want you to go”.

There was once when Lin Bo had an emergency, and he literally put on his pants and immediately left. That time, Guo Zhi was extremely unhappy and ignored him for a long time. In the end, Lin Bo never understood the reason why she became so angry. It was only after a long period had passed that her anger naturally receded, and she talked to him again.

Alex heard her calling him, patted the stacked clothes, and walked over to hug her and kiss her.

He kissed her until she became dazed and asked: “Where do I put these clothes?”

Guo Zhi was so dazed that she reacted with an ‘oh’ before replying: “The wardrobe by the wall…” then her senses returned, “Why did you kiss me so randomly? I still haven’t brushed my teeth!”

“No problem.” Alex carried a bunch of clothes, lowered his head to kiss her, and smilingly said, “It’s fragrant!”

Only in this type of moment would he talk more than normal and have the air that a youngster should have.

Guo Zhi patted him and returned to her bedroom to put on clothes and cleanse herself. Her mood was strangely good.

Compared to his decadent appearance on normal days, she liked this type of Alex better. Young men should be like this, Guo Zhi thought, there is no need to be so gloomy all the time. 2D Alex is so cute! 3D Alex should learn from his own 2D version.

When she began rubbing facial milk on her face, Alex was already urging her to go out and eat breakfast.

Plates were already placed on the dining table. When he saw her coming out, Alex came out with a pan and placed two steaming green onion pancakes on her plate. The smell was very tempting.

Guo Zhi did not care that it was hot. She directly took a bite from the pancake held in her fingers. Soft and delicious!

While she was enjoying the food, Alex cut an egg for her. The yolk flowed out and made people crave for it. He also filled a little plate with pickles and pushed it in her direction.

As Guo Zhi bit into the pancake, she felt something was not right and asked: “Where did all of this come from?” She had never eaten a pancake as delicious as this one in the restaurants that were nearby.

“It wasn’t bought.” Alex said without changing expressions, “Didn’t you say that the pickles were delicious last time? In the morning, when I went outside to buy ingredients for breakfast, I took a lunch box with me, thinking that maybe I could try and see if I encountered Auntie Cao and ask her for more. Later, Auntie Sun from the fifth floor gave me the eggs. Those were made by her too; they aren’t as salty as the ones that can be bought outside, but also contain oil. She said that they tasted good. After that, Auntie Wu that I recently met asked me what was going to be the staple food, and I said that today I wasn’t planning on making porridge, that I was planning on buying it. Auntie Wu told me to not buy it, that she had made extra pancakes in the morning, and gave it to me forcefully. So, in the end, I got brought back the pickles, eight salty duck eggs, and two green onion pancakes.”

Guo Zhi held a pancake in her left hand, and in her right hand, held chopsticks with pickles between them: “…”

She was speechless for a moment before saying: “…Are you a natural friend with aunties?”

She suddenly thought about herself and said depressingly: “If it’s like that, then that means that I’m grouped with the middle-aged women, right?” Her heart felt cold…

Alex was biting a pancake, and his eyes curved like the moon from laughing.

In Guo Zhi’s impression, this boy’s face was always expressionless, his eyes were slack, and gave others a lifeless sense of decadence. That smile suddenly flashed a ray of sunshine on the dining table and made Guo Zhi a bit absent-minded.

Let’s wait for Wednesday, she thought, and see the other people who audition. If there is no one that is better than Alex and everyone is on the same level… then let’s just give Sheng Yuan’s project to Alex. Everyone’s heart was made of meat. Under the condition that it did not affect their own benefits, they would naturally be biased to the person who was closest to them.
