Chapter 2070: Chapter 2070: Longing to Return (37)
"Brother Chi, where are you?" You Zixi shouted at the top of his lungs.
Chi Gui stood at the airport, staring at the "Welcome to XX" sign, and after a delayed reaction, he mentioned his location.
"...Brother Chi, you were still home last night, why did you run so far after just one sleep?!" You Zixi roared.
Chi Gui: "..."
I’m also wondering why?
-
"Miss Hang, are you satisfied with this place?"
The man led Chuzheng and Chi Gui into the courtyard, introducing the functions and features of the entire yard, his attitude impeccable.
"Do you like it?" Chuzheng turned and asked Chi Gui.
The man quickly looked toward Chi Gui as well, with an expectant smile on his face.
"...Uh-huh." Where is this place anyway?
"Let’s settle here then."
The man hurriedly handed over the keys, saying he would bring the contract over soon, and then left.
Chi Gui stood in the courtyard, with the wall only a meter high, adorned with flower pots blooming at their best.
Trees, lush with branches and leaves, extended row after row into the distance, resembling steadfast guards on duty.
Behind the trees were similar courtyards, with a somewhat classical style.
The environment was serene, the climate pleasant, standing here evoked a sense of relaxation and peace of mind.
After entering the house, Chi Gui took out his phone to check, confirming this was indeed a vacation spot.
Nearby, there were vacation hotels and various tourist attractions.
But this place was designed for some people to use for long-term vacation living.
To reserve a courtyard here, you need to book at least a year in advance.
Chi Gui: "..."
So did my baby reserve it a year ago?
Chi Gui looked at the price, wanting nothing more than to wallow in self-pity.
Why is my baby so wealthy?
Of course, Chuzheng didn’t reserve it a year ago; she just took over someone else’s reservation spot.
"Baby... why are we staying here?"
"Vacation." That group keeps bothering me every day, and I can’t hit them, so I had to run away.
"..."
Chuzheng’s earnest ’vacationing’ left Chi Gui speechless.
Even if he objected, it wouldn’t matter; Chuzheng had no intentions of leaving, nor did she plan to let him leave alone.
However, Chi Gui reluctantly admitted that the environment here was incredible.
Chi Gui felt the need to work hard on his drawings, otherwise, he’d really end up being supported by his baby.
Chuzheng was merely avoiding You Zixi and the others, so after arriving, she mostly stayed in the courtyard, going nowhere else.
Next door, an elderly couple lived.
Their relationship was wonderful, always together.
Sometimes, while Chi Gui sat in the yard drawing, he’d see them, and they’d greet him.
"Do you know who our neighbors are?" One day, Chi Gui excitedly ran to Chuzheng.
"No idea, not interested, don’t disturb me."
Chi Gui didn’t care if Chuzheng was listening: "It’s the renowned calligrapher, Old Mr. Tan, and his wife is a famous pianist!"
Chuzheng: "So what?"
"Their relationship is really good." Chi Gui smiled, "I checked their online profiles, from their marriage to now, they’ve always been so devoted to each other."
Many people part ways halfway through.
To maintain a relationship till the end, how many people can do that?
Chi Gui hugged Chuzheng, resting his chin on her shoulder: "I want us to grow old together like that."
"We will."
In that pose, Chi Gui kissed her, just as Chuzheng was about to respond, he suddenly let her go: "I’m going to make money!"
Chuzheng: "..." Is making money more important than the future population growth?!
-
One midnight, an ambulance arrived at the neighboring courtyard, Chi Gui opened the door to see only medics lifting someone into the ambulance, then leaving swiftly.
The next day, Chi Gui heard the news that Old Mr. Tan passed around 3 a.m., and within two hours, his wife followed.
One after the other, as if they had agreed on it.
Chi Gui sat in the courtyard, staring in a daze at the neighboring yard.
Chuzheng brought out a cup of water, handing it to him.
Chi Gui took it, took a sip, and suddenly asked: "Baby, what do you think is most important to a person?"
Chuzheng replied without hesitation: "You."
Chi Gui was asking seriously, to receive such a flirtatious and unserious response.
He cleared his throat softly: "I mean, in a person’s life, what’s the most important?"
Chuzheng tilted her head to look at him.
Chi Gui gave her examples: "Like money, love, parents, children... what’s the most important?"
Chuzheng bent down, gazing deeply into Chi Gui’s eyes.
She slowly opened her lips: "To me, you’re the most important."
Chi Gui didn’t evade her gaze, gripping the cup tighter: "No one else is more important?"
"No one else."
The flowers and plants on the courtyard wall swayed gently in the breeze, as if a sweet fragrance was spreading through the air.
-
When summer break ended, Chuzheng returned to university, her main task unfinished, and this Scholar God had to continue.
Chi Gui focused on painting, now becoming a somewhat famous figure.
By the time Chuzheng was in her sophomore year, Chi Gui could already hold a book signing event.
Chuzheng had a competition that clashed with Chi Gui’s schedule, so when Chi Gui told her about it, Chuzheng said she couldn’t make it.
Even though Chi Gui was disappointed, he didn’t make a fuss, and wished Chuzheng good luck in her competition.
Chi Gui had never revealed his gender nor exposed his appearance, so when fans at the signing event discovered that their admired figure was so strikingly handsome, they almost fainted with excitement.
It was Chi Gui’s first time hosting such an event, unfamiliar with the process, which was quite a struggle.
After finally wrapping it up, Chi Gui just wanted to find a place to lie down.
Never wanted to hold such an event again!
After the signing event ended, as Chi Gui was packing up and preparing to leave, a book was suddenly opened in front of him.
"Sorry, the signing is over..."
Chi Gui looked up, the next second changed his tune: "But I can give you a special signature."
The staff was about to approach but stopped at Chi Gui’s words.
Under the staff’s gaze, the young man stood, propping up the table with both hands, leaning forward, his lips landing on the girl standing outside.
"Ah!!!"
The fans left behind erupted in piercing screams.
The contact lasted no more than a second, Chi Gui sat back down, drawing a heart on the book page, writing his and Chuzheng’s names, then closing it and sliding it back to Chuzheng.
Chuzheng: "..."
-
After the signing event, Chi Gui even trended on social media briefly.
On the trending list, it was unknown who was causing drama, but Chi Gui, originally at the bottom, suddenly shot up to the top.
The large images from the signing event began to spread continuously.
Neither Chi Gui nor the organizers expected this result.
But it wasn’t a bad thing either.
Free exposure shouldn’t be wasted.
Chi Gui expressed that as long as he could make money, it was all good!
Soon, however, someone shared the photo of Chi Gui and Chuzheng, prompting those who couldn’t attend to eagerly ask what happened.
Who is this person!!
Why did such a stunning beauty take the initiative!!
