Forbidden to Flirt and Run 40p2

Chapter 40 p2

Walking out of the apartment building, the evening wind was bleak. Xu Qingtang felt a tightness in her chest. She had thought she would be excited after choosing Gu Yizhi without backing down, but seeing her mother so silent, she couldn’t muster any happiness at all.

She couldn’t help but mock herself. People are indeed emotionally complex animals.

But no matter what, she would not back down on this matter.

Xu Qingtang slowly squatted down by a tree on the roadside. She didn’t know what she was doing. She just felt very tired and wanted to clear her mind for a while.

Looking at the damp marks on the ground, she thought again, if only Gu Yizhi were here.

“Tangtang, get up. You’ll catch a cold if you stay out for too long.”

Xu Qingtang felt her head being stroked. She looked up and saw Gu Yizhi under the streetlight, her usually charming and amorous eyes looking at her with heartache.

The moment she saw Gu Yizhi, Xu Qingtang’s tear ducts almost broke. She stood up and threw herself into her arms. “Gu Yizhi…”

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, Tangtang,” Gu Yizhi held her tightly with heartache, gently patting her back, her tone gentle. “Did someone bully you?”

Xu Qingtang just cried silently, then shook her head. Then she felt Gu Yizhi’s whole body was cold and took her hand. “Why are you so cold? Have you been waiting here for a long time?”

Gu Yizhi said, “No, I just arrived.” She helped Xu Qingtang wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

“You’re still lying to me,” Xu Qingtang could guess. She pinched Gu Yizhi’s cheek. “Why can’t you ever tell the truth?”

Gu Yizhi sighed and led Xu Qingtang to the car. “Let’s talk in the car. It’s cold outside.”

Just as Xu Qingtang sat down in the passenger seat, she felt a sharp pain in her knee. The pain made her arch her back and curl up into a ball. Gu Yizhi frowned and looked down. She saw a small piece of glass stuck in Xu Qingtang’s right knee, the fabric stained red.

“How did you get this?”

Xu Qingtang said, “Ah,” and said vaguely, “I was helping my mom tidy up just now. A water glass broke. Maybe I got it then.”

She feigned nonchalance. “It’s strange. I didn’t even feel the pain just now.”

Gu Yizhi gave her a deep look. “Let’s go to the hospital.”

“The hospital?” Xu Qingtang blinked. “No need, right? It’s not serious. I can just pull it out and disinfect it when I get back.”

“Don’t move,” Gu Yizhi said. “Go and get a tetanus shot.”

The hospital.

The doctor in the emergency room seemed to be very familiar with Gu Yizhi. After Xu Qingtang got her tetanus shot, she sat down in the waiting area.

“You know each other?”

Gu Yizhi said, “A friend of my aunt’s.”

“Oh.”

Xu Qingtang looked at her disinfected knee. It was cool and refreshing. She glanced at Gu Yizhi and couldn’t help but poke it with her finger. “Do you think others will think you abused me?”

Gu Yizhi stopped her hand. “Don’t touch it.” She then asked softly, “Does it still hurt? If it hurts a lot, we can take some painkillers.”

Xu Qingtang knew she had guessed something, but she didn’t want to burden her with such an embarrassing matter. Besides, she found that the situation might not be as bad as she had thought.

So, Xu Qingtang leaned in and whispered in her ear, “Gu Zhizhi, you’re really asking for it right now.”

“Actually, it really, really hurts.”

“Do you think doing it more will relieve the pain?”

Xu Qingtang leaned on Gu Yizhi’s shoulder, her eyes wide as she looked at her. Gu Yizhi’s side profile was exquisite and beautiful, and her cool features were always full of tenderness when she looked at her. Xu Qingtang was very fond of this feeling. She quietly leaned closer again.

“Gu Zhizhi, take me home.”

“Don’t turn on the lights.”

Xu Qingtang’s voice stopped her. Then she pressed Gu Yizhi against the door panel and gently bit her earlobe. “Just like this. This is very good.”

She wanted to slowly see Gu Yizhi’s face clearly in the process of adapting to the darkness.

Xu Qingtang first kissed her lips, then moved down her neck. She slowly regained her vision in the dark and could clearly see the lines of Gu Yizhi’s neck and her gently heaving breath.

After the lingering kiss, the living room finally became bright again. Xu Qingtang was carried to the sofa by Gu Yizhi. She looked at her knee. Xu Qingtang deliberately hissed. Gu Yizhi looked at her. “Does it hurt?”

Xu Qingtang blinked. “I’m hungry.”

She hadn’t eaten since she got off the plane. She had had a fit at Teacher Qi’s place and had used up all her energy. Now she only felt empty in her stomach.

“No takeout. Can you cook for me?”

Gu Yizhi hummed in agreement. “What do you want to eat?”

Xu Qingtang thought for a moment and said, “Something light. You can make some noodles.”

Gu Yizhi gave her a meaningful look.

After realizing it, Xu Qingtang’s face turned slightly red. “No, I mean, noodles, not that.”

“I didn’t say anything. Why are you blushing?” Gu Yizhi had already made a move to go to the kitchen, then turned back, her smile one of realization. “So when you said you could only make noodles for me back then, did you mean this?”

Xu Qingtang: ???

She admitted that at that time, she had only meant that she could only make noodles, but it definitely wasn’t as suggestive as Gu Yizhi made it sound.

“What are you talking about? Gu Yizhi, I think you’ve gone crazy!” Xu Qingtang stood up from the sofa and grabbed Gu Yizhi’s hand. “I didn’t have that kind of thought back then!”

Admittedly, Gu Yizhi was very beautiful and charming, but at that time, Xu Qingtang was trying to avoid her. How could she say such suggestive words to her?

Gu Yizhi said slowly, “So you have them now?”

Xu Qingtang’s face was flushed. She finally understood that Gu Yizhi was teasing her, so she scoffed. “Yes. A housewife, you said. Of course I want to try it.”

She followed Gu Yizhi into the kitchen. Gu Yizhi opened the refrigerator door, stood there with her tall figure, and turned back with a faint smile. “Then do you know where the housewife plot is most likely to happen?”

Xu Qingtang: “…How would I know?”

Gu Yizhi closed the refrigerator door, her long legs walking towards her. She lifted Xu Qingtang onto the counter. “Right here.”

Her voice was warm and fine. As she spoke, she kissed Xu Qingtang. “Only wear clothes above the table.”

Finally, Gu Yizhi kissed Xu Qingtang’s nose. “Xu Tangtang, I remember your legs are above the table, right?”

Xu Qingtang’s eyes widened. What, what did that mean…

Gu Yizhi’s smile was very gentle. “Still want to try?”

Xu Qingtang: …

There were times when she really wanted to pack Gu Yizhi up and throw her out.

She was really too annoying.

“Then why can’t you be the one?” Xu Qingtang suddenly found a legitimate reason. She took out her phone, turned on the voice recorder, and said, “You said you’d record a cat meow for me last time. You still haven’t.”

Gu Yizhi pursed her lips and chuckled, turning on the stove to cook the noodles. “You still remember.”

“What don’t I remember?” Xu Qingtang chuckled. “I was almost embarrassed to death, meowing in front of my mom. You hurry up and meow. If you don’t—” she dragged out her voice and stated her purpose, “then you can be the housewife.”

Actually, this was not her only purpose.

She wanted to win against Gu Yizhi in a verbal sparring match for once.

She had been singing Peking Opera for so many years, and her mouth was so glib. How could she not be able to talk back to a Gu Yizhi? It was simply embarrassing.

Xu Qingtang didn’t know where this competitive spirit came from.

“Alright,” Gu Yizhi looked at her, undid the first button of her shirt, and looked as if… Xu Qingtang’s eyes widened. She quickly stopped the recording and held her hand. “No, you, you, you, wait.”

Gu Yizhi smiled knowingly. “Little coward.”

Xu Qingtang shot her a glare. “You’re the coward. I’m hungry!”

The word “coward” stimulated Xu Qingtang. As she was taking a shower after eating, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. So she started to search for information about housewives online. Sure enough, it was exactly as Gu Yizhi had said. The kitchen was the most sinful place.

Not only that, but this wife usually had a husband who was dead drunk and a neighbor who could drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk.

There was also a comment that said playing out plots could increase intimacy between couples and maintain freshness.

Xu Qingtang thought for a moment and felt that it seemed to make sense.

She flipped through various conversations again.

She roughly understood, but Xu Qingtang really didn’t like the husband setting, so she automatically substituted it with wife-wife.

After taking a shower, she carefully applied body lotion, then simply tied her bathrobe. She walked to the bathroom door, put on a voice, and called out in a coquettish and charming manner, “My dear Zhizhi baby~ I’m done washing~”

Gu Yizhi’s voice sounded in the living room. “Qingtang, there’s someone here.”

Someone here?

Gu Yizhi could actually play along with the plot without having seen the script?

Tsk, tsk. Who would have thought that beneath her cool and detached appearance, she actually had such a secretly passionate heart.

This time, let her see if she’s a coward or not!

Xu Qingtang’s voice had a wavy feeling. “It’s more exciting when there’s someone here. Isn’t it nice to be seen by others? I really miss you to death, you scoundrel~ It’s been so long since you’ve come to see me. You don’t know how lonely, lonely I’ve been~”

She opened the bathroom door and struck an S-shaped pose against the wall in a very sassy manner.

Xu Qingtang still didn’t think it was enough. She wanted to throw a flirtatious look at Gu Yizhi. Then, she not only saw Gu Yizhi, but also a stunned Gu aunt and a husky.

The husky wagged its tail. “Woof!”
