Chapter 63 When the flowers are in full bloom, I want a boyfriend.
Li Xi, carrying a butterfly orchid, knocked on Gu Zhen's door.
Gu Zhen opened the door himself.
Upon seeing the orchid in Li Xi's hand, he was clearly pleasantly surprised, his eyes brightening considerably.
"Thank you."
Gu Zhen accepted the orchid with both hands. "Please come in quickly."
Li Xi entered the house, took off her scarf, and hung her down jacket in the storage cabinet in the entryway.
Gu Zhen placed the orchid on the coffee table in the living room, asked Li Xi to sit down first, and then went back to his room. When he returned, he was carrying a large brown scarf.
Gu Zhen unfolded the scarf and draped it over Li Xi's shoulders. "The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is large. Wear this scarf so you don't catch a cold."
"Thank you."
Gu Zhen turned around, picked up the potted orchid, and suddenly said, "Would you mind if I put it in my study?"
"This is a gift from me to you. You can decide where to put it."
"it is good."
Gu Zhen carried the potted plant toward the study, then, as if remembering something, he sent an invitation to Li Xi: "Would you like to tour my room?"
Li Xi was flattered and asked, "Wouldn't that be a bit presumptuous of me?"
"of course not."
Li Xi quickly got up and caught up with Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen first showed her the study, which was decorated in the same style as the living room, which also had a cool, dark color scheme.
The study was large, with a huge desk in the center.
Li Xi thought that the table was as long as the iron bed she used to sleep on when she was a boarding student in high school.
There was clearly another library inside the study, but it was locked with a combination lock. Gu Zhen didn't open the lock on his own initiative, and Li Xi was too embarrassed to bring it up.
After visiting the study, Gu Zhen then showed Li Xi his room.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhen's room had a floor-to-ceiling window covering an entire wall. Standing by the window and looking out, Li Xi could see the CBD area across the Dongzhou River.
Touching the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her, Li Xi suddenly pictured the lakeside cottage where Gu Huaizhou lived.
That room, like this one, also has large floor-to-ceiling windows.
The bedroom was spacious, and Gu Zhen didn't stand next to Li Xi, but instead stood behind her.
Their reflections appeared on the floor-to-ceiling windows at night.
In the reflection of the glass, it looked as if Li Xi was being held in Gu Zhen's arms, with the top of her head at Gu Zhen's chin level.
If she tilts her head back and Gu Zhen lowers his head, they can kiss...
Li Xi's heart pounded like thunder.
She tried to find a topic to talk about, "With such a big window, the sunlight and lamplight must be very glaring."
Li Xi asked Gu Zhen, "Are you able to sleep?"
“I hate dark environments,” Gu Zhen told Li Xi. “I can only fall asleep in the presence of light.”
"Huh?" Li Xi was a little confused. On a whim, she blurted out, "Then let's sleep together from now on..."
Meeting Gu Zhen's deep, dark eyes, Li Xi realized how shameless she had said.
Depend on!
They only went on their first date yesterday, and today they've already brought up the topic of sleeping together...
Li Xi's face turned bright red.
I wanted to explain, but then I felt like I was just making a fool of myself.
Li Xi decided to give up and asked Gu Zhen, "Professor Gu, you're not a proponent of Platonic love, are you?"
"Let me make this clear beforehand!" Li Xi raised his right hand and solemnly emphasized, "I am an ordinary person, and I cannot accept a sexless relationship."
In her past life, Li Xi never experienced the pleasures of a man until her death, which she deeply regretted.
So in this life, she wants to have a sweet romance and sleep with the best man in bed.
If Gu Zhen is a Platonic admirer, then she really needs to think about it carefully.
Gu Zhen was clearly losing confidence because of Li Xi's series of actions.
He suddenly raised his right hand and pinched Li Xi's chin with the web of his thumb, making her look directly at the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her.
Li Xi saw the way Gu Zhen looked at her from above in the mirror.
It was as hot as fire, and as overwhelming as a net, it enveloped her completely, leaving Li Xi nowhere to escape.
Their eyes met in the mirror, and the air seemed to thicken.
Li Xi heard her own heart pounding like thunder, and heard the man's hoarse, emotional voice above her: "It seems I haven't made it obvious enough, which is why you misunderstood."
"Xi Xi..."
Gu Zhen suddenly leaned down and whispered in Li Xi's ear, "These past few days, I've fantasized countless times about you appearing in my house, on the sofa in the living room, at the desk in the study, in the bathtub in the bathroom, in front of the French windows in the bedroom..."
"The image of you whispering sweet nothings to me must be very beautiful."
In the mirror, Gu Zhen's lips moved as he spoke, exuding a sexual tension that seemed ready to bite into Li Xi's ear and then spit it out at any moment.
Li Xi suddenly pushed Gu Zhen away and rushed into the master bedroom as if fleeing.
Once inside, she saw men's toiletries and razors on the sink, and a bathtub behind a glass partition.
She blushed again.
Okay, okay, the diagnosis is complete. Professor Gu doesn't like vegetarian food, but he likes to eat her.
Knock knock—
Gu Zhen knocked on the door from the outside, reminding Li Xi, "I'm going to set the table. You can come out when you're done."
After a pause, Gu Zhen added, "There are sanitary napkins in the second compartment of the cabinet next to the toilet."
After giving his instructions, Gu Zhen left.
Li Xi didn't use that thing; she waited until her face wasn't so red before going to the restaurant.
The two didn't bring up the previous topic again and ate their meal in silence.
Patrick Star also wants to sit on a chair when eating.
But it didn't eat; it just sat at the table with them.
Gu Zhen told Li Xi, "Patrick Star is my dining buddy; he eats with me every day."
Li Xi deliberately ruffled Patrick's hair, which made Patrick jump off the dining table and squat on the sofa armrest.
It stared at Li Xi menacingly, as if guarding against a thief.
After dinner, Li Xi opened a small can of food for Patrick Star and stood in front of the sofa with the plate to tempt him.
Patrick hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the jar and jumped off the sofa.
It circled Li Xi's trouser leg twice, grumbling and cursing, and then rubbed its head against Li Xi's trouser leg perfunctorily before finally getting a bite of food.
After finishing his meal, Patrick went to the kitchen, washing his face with his paws while keeping Gu Zhen company, meowing softly, "Meow!"
Hey human, look at the kind of partner you've found!
They're incredibly ruthless!

While Li Xi was eating fruit, Gu Zhen went back to his study and came out with two more documents in his hand.
He placed the two documents together on the coffee table and said to Li Xi, "The plastic document bag on top contains irrefutable evidence that your adoptive mother, Zhang Xiang, had an affair with Qin Xiu, and that your adoptive father, Xie Mingzong, was keeping an 18-year-old young model as a mistress."
"Where did you find the detective you introduced me to? So fast?"
This efficiency is comparable to that of a modern-day Sherlock Holmes.
Gu Zhen smiled but didn't say anything.
Li Xi picked up the first document, but didn't open it right away. She pointed to the document sealed in kraft paper on the table and asked curiously, "What's this?"
Gu Zhen looked at her with an indescribable seriousness in his eyes.
After a long pause, Gu Zhen lowered his eyes and said, "This contains my background, personal experiences, and financial situation."
“Xi Xi”.
"I will open it on the day you decide to enter my world and we get married."
Li Xi opened her beautiful eyes wide.
Getting married is such an enticing temptation.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll walk out of this door and open it?"
Gu Zhen smiled mysteriously and said, "Then tomorrow will be our marriage certificate anniversary."
Li Xi didn't believe it. "Is it really that strange?"
She picked up the document and examined it closely, muttering, "What? You installed surveillance cameras on this? You can monitor my every move?"
Gu Zhen just smiled and didn't say whether it was true or not.
Looking at the time, Gu Zhen restrained himself and stood up, saying to Li Xi, "It's almost ten o'clock, I should take you home."
Li Xi left decisively this time.
Despite being neighbors, Gu Zhen still gentlemanly escorted Li Xi to 2201.
Back home, Li Xi didn't casually open the manila document, but instead carefully placed it on the important document shelf of the bookshelf.
That document must contain Gu Zhen's biggest secret.
Uncovering Gu Zhen's secrets means she is willing to enter his heart and spend the rest of her life with him.
She is not ready yet.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhen returned home, entered his study and office, and saw the Phalaenopsis orchid on the table. He then remembered that he hadn't had time to read the message card inside the potted plant.
Gu Zhen took out the card, flipped it over, and saw that Li Xi said—
When the orchids bloom profusely, I want a boyfriend.
