Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

"What...is it?"

"So you forgot." It's alright, Gu Qiushui's smile faded slightly, but she wasn't angry. She just said, "It's okay if you forgot." Anyway, she'll find out eventually.

"What exactly happened?"

You'll find out soon enough.

Mysterious and strange.

Yu Ci kept pressing her for answers, but Gu Qiushui just wouldn't say anything, and she was at a loss for what to do.

After staying in the study for a while, it was past ten o'clock. Yu Ci checked the time, then took his clothes and went to the master bathroom to take a shower.

She had been to this bathroom many times before. She used to feel awkward when she came in with her clothes, but now when she saw Gu Qiushui, she blushed slightly, greeted him, and then slipped into the bathroom.

As usual, Yu Ci met Gu Qiushui, who was wearing a burgundy silk bathrobe, at the door. After exchanging greetings, Yu Ci went into the bathroom.

However, after she went in, the person who was sitting on the soft bed raised their head.

The villa was deserted and very quiet. Amidst the chirping of insects in the dead of night, the sound of water splashing against the tiles could be heard. Gu Qiushui, sitting on the edge of the bed, curled her lips into a smile.

She stood up and walked straight to the bathroom.

Yu Ci was taking a bath with his head held high.

Her long, damp hair fell down her back, tickling her a little. She reached behind her to brush it back, when suddenly she heard the bathroom door open!

The person instinctively raised their hand to cover their chest and then curled up.

The bathroom in Gu Qiushui's bedroom has two 'doors': one is a sliding door, and the other is a frosted shower curtain hanging there.

Looking at the blurry, wine-red shadow swaying and drifting towards him from behind the frosted shower curtain, Yu Ci: ? ? ?

"Qiu, Sister Qiushui?"

What are they trying to do?

This script's opening is dangerous...

"You haven't finished showering yet?"

"I...I just got in! The water's just been turned on!"

Do you know why I came in?

"I……"

“Yu Ci, you’ve forgotten something.”

The showerhead was still on, the hot water was still flowing, and as it fell on the floor tiles, it slowly created wisps of steam. Through the hazy mist, Gu Qiushui pressed herself against the shower curtain.

In the dim light, the beauty's bathrobe fluttered, revealing a scene of vibrant beauty and fragrance.

"Before the variety show, I asked you to give me an answer after the show, but you forgot."

Answer?

As his memory resurfaced, Yu Ci paused, suddenly recalling that confession.

"Sister Qiushui, I remember now."

"I remember now," Gu Qiushui smiled. "Then tell me, what will your answer be after this period of time?"

Yu Ci had just uttered the word "I" when he was interrupted by the person on the other end.

"Don't talk about me."

"Yu Ci, if you'd like, pull back this shower curtain... how about it?"

Pull, come open the shower curtain?

Her eyes, moist with tears, looked down, completely naked.

Pull back the shower curtain?

Chapter 83 A Red Heart

Actually, acknowledging this feeling isn't that difficult.

It's not difficult to lift the hazy shower curtain.

It's time to show your true decisiveness.

Reaching out is just a matter of a moment.

Their eyes met, and it was all over in an instant.

Today, in early November, on a cool, quiet, starless night in the capital, Gu Qiushui and Yu Ci... met frankly.

Hot water dripped from the showerhead, creating a light mist that enveloped the two people.

The burgundy silk pajamas slowly clung to her body underwater, creating a breathtakingly beautiful silhouette.

Her long hair was wet, and the ends were intertwined.

Yu Ci raised his head, "Sister Qiushui, we..."

"We're together now."

Gu Qiushui turned off the shower, pulled out a large bath towel from the bathroom cabinet, and draped it over Yu Ci.

The night is very, very long.

The warmth on the bed lasted for a long time, but in the end, Gu Qiushui did not go all the way.

They've confirmed their relationship, but haven't promised a future... Let's stop here for now.

-

I woke up in the early morning.

The capital city, which had been overcast for some time, was suddenly bathed in bright sunshine.

Bright sunlight streamed through the curtains and onto the bed, and Yu Ci couldn't resist pulling the blanket over his head.

"Get up."

The familiar voice was beside my ear. If it were any other time, I definitely wouldn't dare to stay in bed after hearing those words for the first time.

But today?

There's a saying, what was it again? The petty people... bah, it's the liberated serfs singing songs.

She curled up lazily on the bed, "Sister Qiushui, I want to rest a little longer."

"Don't sleep, it's eleven o'clock." Gu Qiushui sat on the bed and pulled back the covers.

As the sunlight streamed in again, Yu Ci subconsciously squinted, only to hear the other person say, "The breakfast is still warm there, hurry up and get up to eat."

breakfast?

Okay... I am indeed hungry.

Yawning, Yu Ci struggled to get out of bed.

In the bathroom, Yu Ci was brushing her teeth in her pajamas, while Gu Qiushui, dressed in formal attire, stood behind her.

The bubbles grew larger and larger, and Yu Ci spat out his saliva. "Sister Qiushui, why are you staring at me like that?"

"nothing."

She shook her head. "Nothing special, I was just looking at my girlfriend."

Remainder: ...

I was inexplicably placed in the position of 'submissive'.

Yu Ci licked her lips; the slightly astringent taste of the toothpaste made her breathy. "Why is it you who calls me girlfriend, and not me who calls you girlfriend?"

Still...arguing about this?

Gu Qiushui had never paid attention to this, and simply smiled and said, "Call me."

After quickly brushing his teeth, Yu Ci turned around, cleared his throat, and said, "From today onwards, you are my girlfriend."

She was quite proud and confident, but after she finished speaking, there was an eerie silence in the room. Looking at Gu Qiushui's doting eyes, Yu Ci had a strange feeling that she had just called her husband, not girlfriend.

"What's wrong? Why did your expression suddenly fall?"

"It's nothing..." Yu Ci sighed, "I'm just a little sad."

"What's wrong?"

"I've accepted reality."

Gu Qiushui pressed for details about what this reality was, but Yu Ci refused to say.

She smiled and said, "Okay, it's fine if you don't want to tell me. Let's go eat first."

Gu Qiushui must have specifically mentioned it, because the aunt didn't come this morning either. It seems that she cooked by herself again: a pot of congee, a plate of shredded potatoes, and two fried eggs. It wasn't anything special, but... it was all hot.

"Eat."

"Uh-huh."

While having dinner, the two, who had suddenly become a couple, didn't actually interact much differently than before.

"Sister Zhao called me this morning and said she would send me a Weibo post about joining the studio at noon today, and I should forward it then."

"it is good."

"Oh, right... I have something else to ask you."

"What?" Yu Ci felt that Gu Qiushui's tone suddenly became more subdued.

Gu Qiushui had wanted to ask this question before, but as the boss, she didn't feel entitled to ask. "I heard from Sister Zhao that you actually only took a leave of absence from Harvard. I wanted to ask you if you still want to go back to continue your studies?"

"This question... Sister Qiushui, didn't you ask it once before?"

“Things are different now than before.” Gu Qiushui sat up straight, her gaze fixed on Yu Ci. “I’m asking you because I want to know if you really want to go.”

"If you want to go now, I'll take you."

"Sister Qiushui, it seems like we've only just started dating... If I go to Harvard, won't we have to break up right away?" Yu Ci's hand, which was scooping porridge with a spoon, stopped.

Gu Qiushui certainly knew about the separation, but—
