Chapter 21: The Cannon Fodder Side Story of That CEO Novel
Song Xianyin suddenly realized that her father hadn't called her in a long time. Normally, he would call her every few days to ask her to pay back the money.
But she definitely won't call him, since she doesn't have any feelings for him anyway.
"What's wrong?" Gu Peisi pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on her shoulder.
Song Xianyin looked at her phone with some confusion: "He hasn't asked me to pay back the money in a long time."
It made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Gu Peisi chuckled softly, "I guess he's come to his senses."
Their hands have been chopped off by those people, how can they still make phone calls?
Gu Peisi didn't talk much. Most of the time he spent with Song Xianyin, she did all the talking. His favorite thing to do was to hold her in his arms and then start daydreaming.
Although he didn't talk much, he would always accompany Song Xianyin if she wanted to do something, even though Song Xianyin repeatedly emphasized that she could.
Under the blazing sun, Secretary Lin looked at the two people standing not far away and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
How long are these two going to stand here? He's getting so hot.
“I can really go by myself. I’ll just go to Baiyu Island for a bit and catch some fish to eat.” Song Xianyin nudged him.
Gu Peisi stood in front of her with a frown, holding an umbrella: "But you're going to be gone for two days. How am I supposed to get by during those two days?"
He didn't understand why it would take two days to catch a fish; they had never been apart for so long since they got together.
Gu Peisi's eyes showed some hurt. Was she tired of him?
Seeing that Song Xianyin remained silent, he lowered his eyes and finally relented: "Then you go, I'll go with you."
"But I want to go alone; I need my own space."
"But you told me before that you wanted to be with me all the time."
Women's hearts can change so quickly.
Song Xianyin choked up. She had said that before, but now that she had Gu Peisi, how could those words still count?
In the end, Song Xianyin went home dejectedly. Gu Peisi was also very sad. He didn't understand why she always wanted to separate from him.
Secretary Lin sat in the driver's seat, looking at the rearview mirror. Song Xianyin sat on the side, looking out the window, refusing to look at Gu Peisi.
Gu Peisi lowered his head, radiating a sense of abandonment.
Secretary Lin sighed. This time, he sided with Miss Song. Wasn't it a bit too much for the president to be in a relationship? She just wanted to go to Baiyu Island to catch some fish. Was it really necessary to go to such lengths?
But then he thought about it and he could understand. After all, when the president was accompanying Miss Song to get her nails done, he could spend hours staring at her without using his phone.
They finally arrived home. Song Xianyin walked ahead, with Gu Peisi silently following behind her.
The two of them didn't say a word until they entered the room. The aunt was used to seeing them like this, so she greeted them and went back to her room to rest.
At first, she was very scared, afraid that the two of them would have a cold war for several months, but they made up the next day.
Gu Peisi followed Song Xianyin wherever she went. Song Xianyin snorted, took her pajamas, and went to the next room. He would sleep alone.
Gu Peisi stood at the door, watching her close it with longing.
Late at night, Gu Peisi gently opened Song Xianyin's door and sighed inwardly as he looked at the bed.
This bed is way too small.
It's already four in the morning. Song Xianyin is hugging a pillow and burying her face in the blanket.
Gu Peisi gently took the pillow out of her arms. Song Xianyin turned over, and he was so frightened that he froze on the spot.
Gu Peisi held his breath, pulled the pillow out of her arms, placed it on the chair next to him, and then carefully lay down on the edge of the bed.
He broke down the act of lying down into more than a dozen steps, fearing that Song Xianyin would kick him out as soon as she woke up.
The bed was too small, so Song Xianyin slept sprawled out, and Gu Peisi, afraid of crushing her, left most of his body exposed.
But at least they managed to get into bed, and Gu Peisi breathed a sigh of relief.
As Song Xianyin fell asleep, she started touching the pillow. Gu Peisi, keeping a close eye on her movements, pulled her into his arms.
Gu Peisi's body was completely frozen at this moment, even though he had done this action countless times.
Song Xianyin smelled the familiar scent, buried herself in his arms, and her breathing gradually calmed down.
Looking at her sleeping face, Gu Peisi couldn't help but kiss her.
It's fine this way. Even if only half of his body is on the bed, there are actually plenty of empty spaces on the other side of the bed. But he doesn't dare to move her now, for fear of waking her up.
The next day, Song Xianyin woke up groggily and saw her familiar pajamas as soon as she opened her eyes.
She had wrapped herself completely in the blanket, and the air conditioning was set very low. When she touched Gu Peisi's hand, it was ice cold.
Song Xianyin got up and turned up the air conditioning a bit. She wanted to check the plane tickets to Baiyu Island; she wasn't going to take Gu Jia's private jet anymore.
But before she could get up, a force pulled her into its embrace.
Gu Peisi's eyes were a little bluish, and he looked like he hadn't slept well all night.
"I'll go with you, but I won't go with you next time." Gu Peisi lowered his eyes, a hint of grievance in them.
Couples are supposed to be together all the time, right? What's the difference between a couple who aren't always together and strangers?
"Didn't you ask me to catch fish for you before? Let's go together."
Other places are fine, but this is Baiyu Island. This is how she left him before, and he has a trauma about this place.
Song Xianyin frowned: "If you go this time, then let me go alone next time."
Gu Peisi's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Okay."
Song Xianyin remembered, but Gu Peisi's hand was on her waist, his eyes fixed on her lips.
"I'm getting up!"
Gu Peisi wouldn't let her get up. He buried his face in her chest and asked gently, "Baby, is it okay?"
Warm breath brushed against Song Xianyin's neck, the two pressed tightly together, feeling the changes in their bodies.
Song Xianyin's ears immediately turned red; Gu Peisi was truly a wicked person.
Gu Peisi kissed the back of her ear, and Song Xianyin's whole body went limp: "You're so annoying..."
Gu Peisi chuckled softly.
The curtains were drawn again, and the room was filled with soft sobbing and faint crying.
Secretary Lin, who was working quietly at the company, looked at the president's office, which had been empty all day, and the empty mailbox.
He understood that the alarm was off and he was finally free from the standoff between the two ice blocks.
But he soon stopped laughing.
It's been three days since President Gu last came to Gu's Group. For the sake of Gu's Group's future, he had no choice but to fly to Baiyu Island with the contract.
Secretary Lin stood on Baiyu Island, silently watching the two people fishing on the boat with binoculars in hand.
To be precise, only Gu Peisi was actually fishing. Song Xianyin and the captain were sitting on the grill next to them, with Song Xianyin taking a bite and Gu Peisi taking a bite.
If he wasn't mistaken, Miss Song was encouraging the president to keep fishing.
He saw them two three days ago and they were both fair-skinned, but now they're tanned into layers.
Secretary Lin numbly made a phone call to Gu Peisi. Gu Peisi glanced at it, then looked intently at the sea in front of him again.
Secretary Lin closed his eyes. Did the Gu family belong to him or to this couple?
He's not going to work for them like this for the rest of his life, is he?!
