Chapter 9: My… My Stomach Hurts So Much

He had his eyes closed and was leaning against the sofa. He seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol, and his body reeked of alcohol.

He wasn’t one who would go berserk after getting drunk. When he was drunk, he would just sleep quietly.

Gu Li half-squatted to admire his handsome sleeping face while complaining, “Those bros of yours are all bad friends, aren’t they? Otherwise, how would they leave you behind?

“Thankfully, you met me. Otherwise, you might not even be able to keep your innocence. You’re so handsome, yet you don’t know how to protect yourself. How worrying.

“Hey, Mo Shiting, wake up…

“Mo Shiting?”

She called out to him a few times, but the man still remained in the same position. Gu Li started to become bold and couldn’t help holding his palm, interlocking her fingers with his.

Big Brother Ting, can we still acknowledge each other in this lifetime?

But you probably don’t remember me, right? Otherwise, why didn’t you recognize me…

Gu Li stared at him in a daze for a long time. Only when it was late at night did she remember to bring him home.

She propped his arm up and wanted to help him up.

But the two of them fell back down just when they got up, and Gu Li fell onto him directly.

Although Gu Li was thin, she still weighed at least 90 pounds, so she woke Mo Shiting up when she smashed onto him.

He opened his eyes, and his blurry vision was gradually back in focus. When he saw the young girl lying in his arms like an octopus, a hint of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

When he regained his senses, he pushed her away with a look of disdain. “It’s you?”

“Otherwise? Who else do you think it is?”

Seeing that he was awake, Gu Li immediately kept back the longing in her eyes and walked to the sofa next to him to sit down.

Mo Shiting sat up straight and adjusted his slightly messy shirt.

Seeing that his clothes were stained with red wine and was sticky, he frowned and looked at Gu Li. “Did you do this?”

“What?”

Gu Li blinked. She finally realized that his shirt had a big alcohol stain. Of course, due to the intimate contact they had just now, the white t-shirt she was wearing had also gotten dirty.

I came to pick him up out of goodwill, yet I’m being misunderstood and my clothes are also dirtied. Gu Li retorted angrily, “Do you think I’m that free to come all the way here to splash red wine all over you? Do I have to do that?”

Mo Shiting: “…”

His temples hurt a little. He reached out his hand to massage it and asked tiredly, “Why are you here?”

“Your good friend asked me to pick you up.”

Gu Li stood up as she spoke. “Since you’re sober, I’ll go back now.”

Then, she gave him a fake smile. “Bye, Big Brother Ting.”

She’s calling me Big Brother Ting again…

Mo Shiting was dumbfounded. Perhaps it was because he was still tipsy, but in his eyes, the girl’s unrestrained appearance gradually overlapped with the little girl he had known many years ago…

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Gu Li turned around and left.

By the time Mo Shiting regained his senses, she had already disappeared.

Gu Li, who exactly are you?

…

Over the next two days, Gu Li was busy drawing the finale of the comic at home and she didn’t even think of looking for Mo Shiting at all.

To her surprise, he came looking for her instead of the other way around.

Seeing him standing at the door with one hand in his pocket, Gu Li’s heart skipped a beat.

Oh dear, is he here to personally escort me to get a divorce?

After welcoming him into the house, Gu Li smiled exceptionally warmly at him. “Young Master Mo, what brings you here? Please sit down quickly. Do you want tea or coffee?”

“Coffee.”

Mo Shiting responded lightly and sat down on the sofa.

Gu Li lived in a one-bedroom apartment, and although the house was small, it was decorated very warmly. It could be seen that she was a young lady who loved life very much, completely different from cold-blooded machines like him.

Mo Shiting casually sized up her living room before finally looking at the screen of the laptop which she had casually placed on the coffee table.

She knows how to draw comics?

He was surprised and leaned over, wanting to take the laptop when he saw her walking over happily with a cup of coffee.

How does this person manage to be so happy every day?

Mo Shiting was suddenly a little curious.

“Please enjoy.”

After Gu Li put down the cup, she saw that her laptop was still on and hurriedly closed it.

Mo Shiting picked up the coffee cup and drank it elegantly.

Gu Li waited for a few minutes, but he didn’t say anything. She couldn’t help but to probe him as she smiled, “Why are you looking for me?”

Mo Shiting said calmly, “Pack up and come with me.”

“…”

The smile on Gu Li’s face froze.

From the looks of it, does he really want to drag me to get a divorce?

No, that can’t be done. I have to find a way to stop him.

Thus, she had an idea. She suddenly held her stomach and said weakly, “My… My stomach hurts so much. I’m afraid I won’t be able to go out today..”
