Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2059: Chapter 2059: Slow to Return (26)

"Do you like..."

"I don’t like it." Chi Gui clarified: "I just happened to flip to it randomly! It’s not something I like to read."

"Oh." I didn’t say anything.

The way Chuzheng said ’oh’ made Chi Gui feel she meant something else, and his ears turned red.

Chi Gui: "I’m leaving now, let me out."

"No." Chuzheng sat still.

"Hang Chuzheng..."

Chuzheng pulled his hand from under the table: "I’ll go with you once I finish writing." She stated, already decided.

Chi Gui: "???"

Chi Gui was stuck inside, unable to get out.

His hand was still held by Chuzheng, showing no sign of letting go.

Chi Gui turned his head to look around, seeing no one was paying attention to them, he relaxed slightly.

"Let go of me."

"Why?"

Chi Gui wanted to say this doesn’t look right; we’re not in any relationship...

But the words turned into: "How are you going to write like this?"

Chuzheng shook her right hand holding the pen, one hand doesn’t stop me from writing.

Chi Gui: "..."

-

The end-of-term exams came as scheduled. Once the exams were over, except for the seniors, the rest of the students escaped like wild horses running out of the gates.

The seniors still had to continue classes, and the school wouldn’t close.

Chuzheng found it inconvenient to stay at the school during winter break, so she got an apartment outside.

During the winter break, Chuzheng chatted a bit with Chi Gui on WeChat, but they hardly met.

When she felt bored, Chuzheng searched for the comic Chi Gui was reading based on her memory.

After finishing the comic, Chuzheng didn’t find it very appealing — watching TV dramas was better since she could speed them up.

Why does the Good Person Card like this?

Such a rebellious child actually likes shoujo manga... What kind of immortal setup is this?

I can’t figure out my card.

It’s too difficult.

Chuzheng stayed in the apartment, only going out when necessary.

That evening, after going out for a meal, she found it had started raining.

Just as she was about to go out, a somewhat familiar figure caught her eye on the street opposite.

Chi Gui?

What’s he doing here?

Chuzheng turned her steps toward the opposite side of the road.

Chi Gui wasn’t using an umbrella, allowing the rain to soak his clothes, his hair sticking to the sides of his face.

If not for his good-looking face, his current appearance would be so disheveled that no one would want to look twice.

Chi Gui walked slowly, like a wandering soul, following the sidewalk without reacting even when bumping into people.

"Chi Gui." Chuzheng caught up with him from behind and grabbed him.

Chi Gui was forced to stop, and in his blurred vision, the girl’s face gradually became clear.

It’s her...

For some reason, the heart suspended mid-air, with no resting place, seemed to find its spot the moment it saw her.

A voice inside urged him to hug her...

"What are you doing?" Chuzheng pushed him into a place sheltered from the rain: "Playing in the rain is fun..."

Before Chuzheng finished speaking, Chi Gui had already hugged her.

The boy’s chest was broad, but regrettably not warm, only wet and cold.

"..."

What the hell?

So proactive?

Then I won’t be polite!!

"Take me home." Chi Gui’s voice was hoarse, tired, with most of his strength leaning on Chuzheng: "Can you?"

Chuzheng was surprised, asking uncertainly: "Are you sure you want to go with me?"

Chi Gui slowly released her: "It’s me..."

Chuzheng reached out to hug him, gently stroking his back: "I’ll take you home."

-

Chi Gui’s mood was off. After showering, he sat by the window, staring outside motionlessly.

Chuzheng adjusted the temperature higher, carrying the cold medicine over: "Take it."

Chi Gui neither asked what it was, took it directly, then continued to stare outside.

"Hungry?"

Chi Gui shook his head.

"There’s food in the kitchen. If you’re hungry, eat yourself."

Chuzheng didn’t ask what happened, and after explaining, she left the room.

With the door closed, the entire space became tranquil.

-

Chuzheng stood by the door for over a minute, then turned and left to the living room, pulling up You Zixi’s avatar on her phone.

[Chuzheng: Do you know where Chi Gui is?]

[You Zixi: No, I’m looking for him too.]

[Chuzheng: What’s going on?]

[You Zixi: Ah...it’s nothing, Sister if you see him, please contact me.]

There was no further response from You Zixi after that.

Chuzheng stared at the dialog box with a slightly serious expression.

Half an hour later.

Chuzheng sent another message to You Zixi.

[Chuzheng: Chi Gui is with me.]

A few minutes later, You Zixi directly called, and Chuzheng glanced toward the bedroom before answering.

"Is Brother Chi with you?" It was noisy on You Zixi’s side, sounding like he was outside.

"Yeah."

"Great... Umm... where are you guys now?"

Chuzheng gave her address, and You Zixi said he was coming over immediately.

It took You Zixi an hour to arrive, drenched and panting, he looked at Chuzheng: "Where’s Brother Chi?"

"In the room." Chuzheng pointed to the room: "What’s wrong with him?" That’s Chuzheng’s main reason for inviting You Zixi over.

"Let me check on Brother Chi..." You Zixi withdrew his extended foot, "Can I go in?"

Chuzheng stepped aside, letting him in but not disturbing Chi Gui, only allowing him to take a glimpse from the door.

Seeing Chi Gui was safe and relatively emotionally stable, You Zixi breathed a sigh of relief.

With the door closed, You Zixi curiously asked: "Miss Chuzheng, where did you find him?"

"On the street." Chuzheng asked again: "What’s going on with him?"

You Zixi hesitated, glancing over at Chuzheng and the closed door: "Um...Miss Chuzheng, do you like our Brother Chi?"

"Am I not making it obvious?"

"..." It is quite obvious.

After all, this lady, except for Chi Gui, hardly pays attention to Qin Qiao.

Among all of them...

Only when Chi Gui is around does she pay attention, generally seeing them and pretending she didn’t, very cold.

"Brother Chi’s parents are going through a divorce." You Zixi sighed, "But neither of them wants Brother Chi."

Chi Gui’s parents kept up appearances, though they both had others outside.

Because of disagreements over Chi Gui’s custody and property matters, they’ve been delaying the divorce.

But these two hardly ever stayed at home; they had families outside. Occasionally returning meant a storm of fights.

And Chi Gui was like a ball kicked around, neither willing to take care of him.

Today the two were arguing at home when Chi Gui happened to return.

Chi Gui’s mother vented her anger on him, and Chi Gui exploded with years of accumulated resentment.

You Zixi: "I happened to visit Brother Chi today and witnessed the scene... Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about this."

His Brother Chi is actually quite pitiable.
