    ☆、Chapter 54

    After helping Xia Zichen clean up, Gu Xu carried him to the bed. Xia Zichen was really tired and fell asleep when he touched the pillow. Gu Xu smiled and straightened his damp hair, and kissed him on the forehead. Then he scooped up his keys and wallet and walked out of the room, drove to a 24-hour pharmacy, and bought external medicines.

    Although he has been very careful, there is still a little blood there, mixed in the white body-fluid, a little dazzling. In order not to make Xia Zichen feel uncomfortable, he must be given medicine today.

    When he returned to the room, Xia Zichen slept soundly and did not feel that Gu Xu had left at all. Gu Xu washed his hands and prepared to apply medicine to Xia Zichen. Before he could unscrew the lid, Xia Zichen's phone in his trouser pocket rang.

    Gu Xu quickly scooped out the phone, glanced at Xia Zichen who hadn't woken up, walked out of the bedroom, and went to the living room to answer the phone so as not to disturb him.

    He closed the door and looked at the caller ID, it was Xia Yuze.

    "Hello? Uncle Xia." Gu Xu answered the phone. Xia Zichen couldn't go home today, he should have called Xia Yuze earlier, but just now his heart had been on Xia Zichen and he didn't care.

    "Gu Xu? Where's Chen Chen?" Xia Yuze was not too surprised to hear that it was Gu Xu who answered the phone. After all, the two children were officially together.

    "Uncle, I'm sorry. Chen Chen drank some light fruit wine at the banquet, and I didn't care. I didn't expect the fruit wine to have too much stamina. Chen Chen was drunk and is sleeping now." Gu Xu explained, "I'm afraid of him. It was uncomfortable, so I sent him back and worried that he would vomit, so I let him sleep in the hotel room."

    "This child is too out of proportion." He knew that Xia Zichen went to Gu Yan's birthday party, because he was Gu Xu's eldest brother and Gu Xu was with him, so Xia Yuze was not worried. But Xia Zichen hadn't come back so late, so the father always had to call and ask.

    "It's my fault. I thought I didn't have the energy to drink. Seeing that he liked it, he didn't stop it." Gu Xu said. Naturally, he wouldn't say anything about Xia Zichen's drinking of the drugged wine, so he had to make up an excuse and take all the responsibility on himself.

    "Chen Chen is drunk, isn't he making trouble?" Xia Yuze has never seen what Xia Zichen looks like when he is drunk. Usually, Xia Zichen doesn't drink alcohol. Father and son at most during festivals will open red wine, Xia Zichen will not move after two sips. .

    "No, I fell asleep when I was drunk. It's very worry-free." Although he had never seen what Xia Zichen looked like when he was drunk, he felt that with Xia Zichen's temperament, it should just be lethargic.

    "That's good." Hearing him say that, Xia Yuze was relieved. After all, it wouldn't look good if his son was drunk and got angry in front of his lover.

    "When he wakes up tomorrow, I'll send him back. Don't worry." Gu Xu said.

    "Okay, then Chen Chen will trouble you." With Gu Xu taking care of him, Xia Yuze had nothing to worry about.

    "Uncle is too polite, it should be." Xia Zichen is a lover and a family member to him, so there is nothing wrong with taking care of him, "Uncle rest early, it is very late."

    "Okay, you also rest early, good night."

    "Good night uncle." Gu Xu hung up the phone, turned and went into the bedroom.

    Xia Zichen lay on his side and slept soundly, Gu Xu sat beside the bed and carefully helped Xia Zichen apply medicine. Xia Zichen snorted a few times, but did not open his eyes. Seeing Xia Zichen's instinctive reaction, Gu Xu smiled, turned and entered the bathroom.

    After taking a bath, he slept with Xia Zichen in his arms.

    When Xia Zichen woke up, it was already noon the next day, the weather was slightly overcast, and the temperature in the bedroom was just right. She rubbed the pillow with her eyes closed, and Xia Zichen opened her eyes.

    Gu Xu was already awake, sitting beside him with his back against the pillow and reading today's newspaper. Seeing Xia Zichen move a bit, he turned his head and met his still somewhat confused sleepy eyes.

    "Awake?" Putting down the newspaper, Gu Xu leaned over and took care of the thin quilt on Xia Zichen's body.

    "Well..." Xia Zichen nodded and wanted to turn around, but just turned halfway, the soreness in his waist made him stop, and he pulled the quilt up a little embarrassingly.

    Although he was medicated yesterday, he remembered exactly what happened from the beginning to the end, and even remembered the words he begged for mercy at the time, which made him somewhat embarrassed when facing Gu Xu.

    "Does it hurt?" Seeing his sudden stop when he turned over, Gu Xu sat up and rubbed his waist with just the right amount of strength.

    "It's okay." With the help of Gu Xu, Xia Zichen turned over and asked Gu Xu to massage him, so that he didn't need to see Gu Xu's face, which made his embarrassment dissipated a lot.

    "Uncle called last night." Although it was interesting to tease Xia Zichen to see him blushing, but now Gu Xu didn't want to bully him, so he changed the subject.

    Xia Zichen was startled, then remembered that he hadn't reported to his father yet, "What did you say?"

    "Say you drank too much..." Gu Xu repeated the excuse he made last night to Xia Zichen.

    After listening, Xia Zichen nodded and said with a smile, "You're pretty good at editing."

    "It's not nonsense anyway."

    "Yeah." Xia Zichen said nothing, enjoying the strength of Gu Xu's massage.

    "My eldest brother has already figured out the matter about the medicine." Gu Yan called in the morning, told him the matter again, and also cared about Xia Zichen's condition.

    "What's the matter?" Xia Zichen asked, he didn't even think about the fact that he was recruited.

    "Simply put, someone wants to use this medicine to do something with my eldest brother, and then use this to make a deal with the Gu family and cooperate with the other party." Gu Xu said calmly: "The other party bought the bartender, who knows my brother. I didn't order anything at the bar all night, so the bartender didn't know where to start. I managed to seize the opportunity of my brother chatting with you and ordered fruit wine. The bartender was afraid that he would never have another chance, and he didn't know where he was going. The cup is for my eldest brother, so I just put medicine in both glasses."

    "Brother, are you okay?" Xia Zichen was a little worried when he heard that the other party was coming for Gu Yan. After all, this eldest brother has been very kind to him since he knew Gu Yan.

    "It's okay. At that time, the bartender divided a medicine into two parts in order to get things done. Naturally, the medicine is not as powerful as before. So both you and your eldest brother can stay awake." Gu Xu's expression was also a little helpless. There are also many people encountered, but not many succeeded, most of them were stopped in the middle. But this time, it may be because of drinking with Xia Zichen, Gu Yan didn't care so much, which led to his negligence, "Big brother will handle this matter, you don't have to worry."

    "Yeah." Xia Zichen was relieved to hear that Gu Yan was fine. Although the medicine was also planted, Gu Yan's experience had an emergency plan, and he didn't need to take care of it.

    "This kind of thing is inevitable for our Gu family. After all, in terms of Gu's family business, there are many people who want to cooperate, but the space is always limited, so some methods that can't be scooped on the table will also appear." Gu Xu earnestly He said, "If a woman suddenly appears and says something useless to you in the future, don't bother, just trust me."

    Although Xia Zichen had no contact with this kind of thing, he also saw the example of Eli taking the lead in Shen Yicheng, "Are you reporting to me?"

    "I will try to avoid this kind of thing, but I have to tell you first." Gu Xu kissed the back of Xia Zichen's neck, "You are always hiding something, so I have to prevent it in advance." He would naturally be able to defend himself, but he was also afraid of what would happen.

    "I see." After this period of time, he knew what kind of person Gu Xu was.

    "Actually, I don't care about the Gu family, but it's fine." In comparison, he was really much safer than Gu Yan. "Okay, let's not talk about this. Are you hungry? Get up to eat?"

    "Yeah." Xia Zichen responded and let Gu Xu massage for a while, and the waist also felt a lot more comfortable.

    Gu Xu got up and made a phone call to have the food delivered. Xia Zichen went into the bathroom to wash up. It was a peaceful morning, tacit and gentle.

    After eating, Xia Zichen rested for a while before Gu Xucai sent him home.

    Because Xia Zichen walked naturally, Xia Yuze didn't see anything, and the two of them passed the test smoothly. Otherwise, Xia Yuze should really see something, even if this kind of thing is normal for two people in love, but with Xia Yuze, Gu Xu's credit is going to go bankrupt. After all, he only said that Xia Zichen was drunk. .

    After that, the life of the two of them was the same as before. When they had time, they would have a meal together, watch a movie, etc., and the peace was also very real.

    The holidays passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time to start school again. The house that Gu Yan gave them, Xia Zichen and Gu Xu also went to see it, and added some furniture, and they could move directly there when they started. The school's beds have not been withdrawn. If Xia Zichen's class is available in the afternoon, he can go back to bed and rest in the middle.

    When reporting back to school, An Jing was a little surprised when he saw that Xia Zichen didn't bring anything with him, "What's wrong with you? Was someone robbed halfway through?"

    "No, I don't live in the dormitory for the time being." Xia Zichen smiled and put the new book on the table, waiting for Gu Xu to pick it up after get off work in the evening.

    "Ah? Where do you live? Go home?" He remembered that Xia Zichen's house was not too close to the school.

    "Stay outside." Xia Zichen felt that there was nothing to hide about An Jing. Although An Jing was quite a gossip, he could manage the things he shouldn't talk about.

    An Jing turned his head and said suddenly, "With Gu Xu?"

    "Yeah." Xia Zichen nodded.

    "Okay." An Jing slapped Xia Zichen, "Is this a marriage?"

    "Let's go." He found that An Jing was always talking without seriousness.

    "It's almost the same anyway." An Jing continued unconcernedly: "Are you free to have a meal together? Anyway, it's my own."

    "If you are free, please come to the house to play."

    "Then it's settled." Before An Jing could finish speaking, Shen Yicheng pulled the box and walked in through the door.

    "You're back?" Shen Yicheng greeted first.

    "It's very early to come back." An Jing didn't see Shen Yicheng in a holiday. In the past, Shen Yicheng would come back the day before returning to school.

    Xia Zichen nodded as a response, and didn't say much.

    Shen Yicheng put the box beside the bed, turned to Xia Zichen and said, "Zichen, let's talk if you have time."

    Xia Zichen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is there something wrong?" He really couldn't think of anything Shen Yicheng could talk to him about. Although their relationship wasn't so rigid that they didn't communicate with each other, there was really nothing to get involved.

    "Well, I have something to do." Shen Yicheng looked at Xia Zichen, "Is it convenient?"

    An Jing looked at the two of them curiously, and Shen Yicheng looked at Xia Zichen with a bit of anxiety.

    Xia Zichen thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay."

    The two didn't go far, they only went to the coffee shop near the school, where Xia Zichen met Gu Xu for the first time.

    Xia Zichen ordered mocha, Shen Yicheng ordered black coffee, and the two sat in the corner. There was no one in the station, but it was quiet.

    "What's the matter?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Xia Zichen had to speak first.

    "I want to ask you a favor." Shen Yicheng said.

    Xia Zichen looked at him and waited for him to continue.

    "I could see from the last banquet that the Gu family treated you well. Judging from your appearance, you and Gu Xu should also get along very well." Shen Yicheng said while observing Xia Zichen's expression.

    Xia Zichen took a sip of coffee and remained silent.

    Shen Yicheng glanced at him and continued: "My father has recently teamed up with a few families to do a project together, and I hope the Gu family can come and invest. You also know that it is difficult to contact Gu Yan, so I want to ask you for a favor, help I asked Gu Yan out, I want to talk to him about this project."

    Xia Zichen's face sank and looked at him coldly.

    "If you come forward to make an appointment, Gu Yan should come. If it doesn't work, you can ask Gu Xu for help. If the matter is successful, I can give you a hard fee." Shen Yicheng saw that Xia Zichen had nothing to say, and continued: "Let's It’s been two years since I’ve known you, so you should know how I treat you. Brother, please help me with such a small favor, so you won’t refuse, right?”

    Xia Zichen looked at Shen Yicheng's self-talking face, and the eagerness for interests in his eyes, and raised his mouth with a sneer.

    In the past, at most, he thought that he and Shen Yicheng were people from two different worlds, but now he clearly realized that he was wrong at all...
