Gu Jingze took a few steps. His face darkened as he pulled Lin Che away.
"If you don't know what it is, why are you planning to open it so carelessly?"
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze awkwardly, "I think it might be from Shen Youran. She said that she was going to send me a gift."
Gu Jingze heard this and was still suspicious. He made sure Lin Che got distance from it and then carefully unwrapped the package. When he opened it, he froze.
The items wrapped in the plastic inside... looked strange...
Lin Che saw Gu Jingze's odd expression and quickly went closer to see, "What exactly is it?"
She pulled apart the packaging and realized that the things inside were...
Some were colorful while some were oddly shaped. She pulled out the packaging and realized something that looked like a banana had rolled onto the floor. Some were soft and rubbery and bounced on the floor. Below, there was something oval-shaped. One item after another...
Lin Che thought for a while and then it suddenly became clear to her, "Ah... Aren't these... sex toys..."
Before she finished, she quickly covered her mouth and glanced at Gu Jingze.
He was stunned. Frowning, he also suddenly understood what all those things were.
They turned out to be...
This Shen Youran!
Lin Che wanted to kill her.
She said she wanted to give her a present. These were the presents?
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze's ugly expression and didn't know what to do. She looked speechlessly at Gu Jingze and hurriedly gathered the items back into the box.
"I-I-I... These things... I'll take them away right now."
Gu Jingze stood there and watched Lin Che. At that moment, he wondered if all of Lin Che's friends were like this.
Lin Che said, "I didn't know either... This Shen Youran must be making fun of me."
Gu Jingze looked at those things. Seeing them for the first time really made him curious.
However, his mind soon drifted towards how it would be like if those devices were used on Lin Che...
Perhaps it was because he had just returned from Chen Yucheng's place and had been deeply affected by his words. Chen Yucheng's sentence flashed in Gu Jingze's mind. Try and get it; then, he might not be in such a dilemma.
He watched Lin Che put those objects back in the box and subconsciously moved closer to her.
Perhaps if he tried, he would finally understand why.
However, just as he went towards her, Lin Che had already gotten up.
Gu Jingze missed. He closed his eyes and felt his body ache from last night. He stood properly again.
He chided himself silently. He was becoming such an idiot.
And this was all because of Lin Che!
Gu Jingze saw Lin Che move the things into the storeroom and followed after her like a phantom.
Lin Che turned around and bumped into Gu Jingze behind her.
Lin Che looked at him in surprise and saw that his face was unusually red.
The storeroom was filled with all kinds of things so even though it was a big room, it felt very narrow.
Lin Che looked up at Gu Jingze to meet his gaze.
"You... What's up with you? Your face is so red, " Lin Che said as she touched his face. Did he have a fever? Why was he so red?
Gu Jingze grabbed Lin Che's hand.
On one hand, he wanted to follow his principles. On the other hand, he thought about Chen Yucheng's words again.
He was unsure if his heart would stop thinking that way if he really had her.
"You..."
Lin Che stepped backward while Gu Jingze stepped forward. He looked at Lin Che, "Why don't we try out those things... Since they are already here."
Lin Che said in shock, "What do you mean by try out?! I'm not trying anything!"
Lin Che pushed Gu Jingze with both hands, "Let go! What are you doing?"
Gu Jingze looked deeply at Lin Che, "Lin Che... Have you really forgotten what happened last night?"
"Yes, " Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze said, "But I can't forget."
"What... What does that have to do with me? Did I really come on to you? I'm really sorry. I got drunk from bad alcohol."
Gu Jingze looked down at Lin Che, "But you actually want me too, right?"
"You... You're talking nonsense, " Lin Che became a Spartan. Her face was red as she pushed Gu Jingze and asked, "Why would I want you?"
Gu Jingze looked at her flushed face and planted a kiss on her lips.
Lin Che froze. Her heart seemed to have suddenly startle awakened and was thumping loudly in her chest as if it was going to burst out any minute.
Their wet lips rubbed against each other. He hugged her and their bodies slowly leaned into each other.
Lin Che was really longing for more. A scene flashed across her mind. It looked like a snippet of last night.
In that moment, she suddenly recalled something about her mentioning a divorce and how he said that he did not allow her to leave...
Lin Che opened her eyes. The taste of him was still in her mouth; it was so hypnotizing as if he could make anybody fall deeply.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che, "See? You clearly want me too..."
Lin Che blushed even more.
Gu Jingze continued, "So why are you resisting me?"
His hand was placed on her waist.
Lin Che bit her lips and looked at Gu Jingze. Her heart was filled with sorrow and fear.
"Gu Jingze... I... I'm easily drawn to your charms; You're good. You're really too good. You're probably the best guy I've ever met in my life. I used to be extremely unlucky and anybody I met was terrible. So after meeting you, I seemed to have lost my direction because you were too nice. But you're in love with someone else and I have experienced this before. I don't want to involve myself for a second time. I saw... Yesterday, I saw the gift Mo Huiling gave you. Gu Jingze, what she said is actually right. You two are a better match, so if you only want to toy with me, please don't do it anymore."
Gu Jingze's heart sank.
He thought about Mo Huiling's gift which he didn't even open up to see what it was.
"Actually, that gift was..."
"No matter what it was, it's like you. I can't afford to want it."
When she said finish, Lin Che pushed Gu Jingze away. She suddenly felt sad and depressed but she smiled to herself. She had gotten used to this feeling a long time ago. Normal people like her had to face this. She could see what she wanted every day but every day, she had to force herself to forget.
Because she couldn't afford to want him...
