24. My School Days
Gu Xinglan lowered her head and turned to the car window.
The drizzle outside the window gradually intensified, eventually turning into large raindrops that pounded against the car window.
The sound of rain outside washed away the strange atmosphere inside the car.
Thinking of how this person had been attacked for no reason, Gu Xinglan said "I'm sorry" again.
Meng Guanhe, sitting in the driver's seat, found it amusing.
He was hit on the head and taken to the hospital, only to receive an apology in return.
"No need for an apology, I did want to use the underhanded tactics."
Gu Xinglan: ?
So you're pretending to be a victim?
"You're joking, aren't you?" Gu Xinglan just wanted to move on quickly.
Then the person in the driver's seat said, "It's just that it wasn't you who was submerged."
The other party's response was not a joke; it was a statement of fact.
Gu Xinglan couldn't help but let his thoughts wander elsewhere. He didn't answer Meng Guanhe anymore, but asked the system, "Do you know why the original owner went to someone else's private room?"
The company's CEO's private room must be something special; how could the original owner have mistaken it?
System: [Congratulations, you have triggered the second hidden quest: Explore the secret of Gu Xinglan's loss of virginity.]
Lost her virginity?!
Gu Xinglan clasped his hands together in surprise and exclaimed, "Big brother, are you kidding me?"
System: [If you hadn't transmigrated, this body would probably have lost its virginity to Meng Guanhe along the original route.]
Gu Xinglan: ...
If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the original owner of this body married Li Taihe after being sexually harassed?
System: [Yes, and the tiny task target even stumbled upon the original owner and Meng Guanhe rekindling their romance. Afterwards, the original owner used the task target as a lookout.]
Gu Xinglan: ...
Losing one's virginity, unspoken rules, being a lookout... it couldn't be what he's thinking, could it?
Li Hetai was used to forcing others to watch, but he never expected to be forced to watch someone else's live sex act.
Whatever comes to mind appears.
As the rain parted at the car window, Gu Xinglan spotted a figure getting soaked under the big tree.
"Stop!" "Stop the car first!"
Gu Xinglan patted the back of the car behind the driver's seat.
With a "whoosh," he was soaked to the bone, not caring what he was wearing, and ran out into the rain with his coat over his head.
The child standing under the big tree was drenched in rain, his face pale and his body ice cold.
When Gu Xinglan picked up the child, the child's body temperature was so cold that goosebumps appeared on her arms.
"Why stand under this big tree when there are so many shops? Are you out of your mind?" Gu Xinglan said angrily.
System: [Duration extended successfully. 57 hours remaining.]
The child was picked up, but his neck was not wrapped around or his sleeve was not grabbed; he was just held stiffly like that.
Gu Xinglan, wearing a suit jacket, quickly pulled the person into his arms and carried them into the car.
"Installment payment? Or a lump sum payment?" As soon as he got into the car, the person in the driver's seat turned around with a formulaic smile on his face.
Gu Xinglan paused, her eyes shifting to the dark blue coat she was wearing.
He draped his suit jacket over his shoulders at the hotel entrance and carried it into the car. During his conversation with the driver, he completely forgot that he was wearing the other person's jacket. It was raining outside, so he instinctively used his own jacket to shield himself from the rain.
However, the suit is indeed of good quality. It's not stuffy to wear and it's waterproof. When I went to pick up a child, the outside of the suit got wet, but the inside didn't.
Gu Xinglan avoided the driver's seat and quickly grabbed a napkin from the hotel to wipe her coat.
Without Gu Xinglan's obstruction, Meng Guanhe could see the child's clothes clearly.
He had some impression of the young master of the Li family.
With the Li family's investment in this program, and their determination to acquire that piece of land in the suburbs, they naturally went along with his project, which was a sure thing.
They were all in a cooperative relationship, and his father instructed him to treat the Li family's son well.
But based on the information he had gathered, this young master of the Li family didn't seem to have much value to him.
The black car slowly drove into the urban village of Wushui.
Meng Guanhe was both unfamiliar with and familiar with this place. In his eyes, every dilapidated building could be turned into money, and every vacant lot was waiting to be planned.
"Boss, it's nearby, you don't need to open it anymore." Gu Xinglan pointed to the roadside.
Meng Guanhe stopped the car, turned to look at Gu Xinglan: "This program doesn't require you to be sensational or act like a great philanthropist. Professional matters should be handled by professionals. You just need to play your role well."
Gu Xinglan hummed in agreement and nodded repeatedly. Before getting out of the car, she finally said what she had been holding back for a long time: "Boss, for this show... could I team up with the Li family's kids?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes in the car turned to Gu Xinglan.
Gu Xinglan has eyes that seem to speak volumes. When he looks at someone intently, it makes you want to offer him everything in the world.
With so many good-looking celebrities in the entertainment industry, even Meng Guanhe, who has been in contact with them many times, couldn't help but be distracted.
"I'll grant your wish." Meng Guanhe waved his hand.
Gu Xinglan flashed a smile she hadn't worn all evening, grinning and saying, "Thank you, boss."
As the saying goes, "being near the water tower, one gets the moon first," and with Lai Ho-tai next to him, how could he possibly have trouble accumulating playtime?
Curled up in a small ball, Li Hetai was carried off the bus.
That familiar scent mingled with the perfumes of other men.
Li Hetai closed his eyes tightly and held his breath.
After getting off the bus, Gu Xinglan looked up and whispered, "Why do you always cause me trouble, you brat?"
The figures, one large and one small, grew smaller and smaller, becoming increasingly indistinct, on the stone ground reflecting the shimmering water.
The rain gradually subsided, and the drizzle posed no threat to the two people on the street.
Gu Xinglan draped her suit jacket over Li Hetai's head.
The owner of this coat no longer wanted it, so it's a good deal for him.
……
Li Hetai's vision was completely black.
Until the person holding him stopped.
With a "whoosh," the dim yellow light enveloped his entire body.
Li Hetai frowned.
The two of them walked through many winding paths and climbed many flights of stairs. The person carrying him was panting and had to stop to rest from time to time.
Now that we've arrived at our destination, the clean and cozy environment I imagined hasn't materialized.
Messy, dirty, squalid, and cold!
The rented room and the temperament of Gu Xinglan were completely inconsistent.
The child, who is very clean, frowned slightly and pursed his lips upon seeing this scene, revealing an unusual expression on his face.
"What, you're already complaining?" Gu Xinglan lifted the child in her arms.
System: [Host, don't forget he's the target of the mission.]
Upon hearing the system's comment, Gu Xinglan's smile froze on her face.
Children's appearances are still too deceptive.
System: [The original owner's rented apartment hasn't been cleaned for four weeks. Host, this is a good time to rack up time.]
No wonder, there was dust everywhere. Gu Xinglan had just touched a doorknob and her hand was covered in dust.
The rental apartment is located in an old office building that has been converted into a residential building. The water and electricity supply is not very good. The original owner rented the cheapest apartment, and the hot water for showering had to be heated by an electric kettle.
Gu Xinglan thought for a moment. The child had been caught in the rain today and might have gotten sick. Also, this rented room was dusty and uninhabitable. She decided to go back to the Changgu villa tonight and come back tomorrow to clean and receive guests.
But the thought of going back and possibly facing Li Taihe, that smiling tiger, made Gu Xinglan feel terrible.
"Xinglan?"
"...Is it really you?!"
Hearing the sound, Gu Xinglan turned her head.
It was the person who lived next door to him.
The person who arrived was carrying a bag from a convenience store. His bangs were pressing down on his eyebrows, and he looked frail and pale, still wearing his school uniform.
System: [He's the student who repeated his senior year, living next door to the original owner. He's been repeating his senior year for three years and has been here the whole time.]
Gu Xinglan: ...6
