Going Wrong as a Wife: Young Master Gu, Don't Be Arrogant

Chapter 668 Didn't You Sleep Last Night?

The screen goes dark once, twice, ... ten times

Counting the number of times the screen went off, Gu Chuan spent the longest 10 minutes in his life.

He straightened his body, tidied his clothes, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, and that Xia Yu would see it, Gu Chuan opened the half-hidden iron door and went forward to ring the doorbell.

As soon as the doorbell rang, Xia Yu suddenly came back to her senses after staring at the kraft paper bag beside her, and hurried a few steps to open the door.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to boil the hot water. I made Siche milk powder in the hot water last night, so you can only drink mineral water."

Xia Yu looked at Gu Chuan apologetically, and handed him the mineral water in her hand.

"It's okay, I happen to be quite thirsty too, and I can't wait for the hot water to cool down."

As he spoke, Gu Chuan took the mineral water, opened it and took a few sips immediately.

Sitting opposite Gu Chuan, Xia Yu could see his expression clearly.

Although Gu Chuan gave people a very energetic feeling, he could still see his fatigue from the black floating under his eyes and his paler complexion than usual.

"Gu Chuan, didn't you sleep last night?" But he said good night to him...

"Oh... I was going to sleep after I sent you a message last night, but then I suddenly remembered that there is a report that needs to be handed in today, so I stayed up late to catch up with work... Unexpectedly, you noticed it, hehe..."

Gu Chuan lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, his eyes flickered, but because he lowered his head, no one saw it.

Hearing that it was because of staying up late, Xia Yu thought of another layer.

"Stay up late... You just said that the report will be handed in today. If you are very busy today, we can change the time, or I can go by myself, so as not to delay your work."

When Xia Yu said to go by herself, Gu Chuan waved his hands again and again, and at the same time regretted it in his heart, why did he just say today, should he talk about it later...

"It's okay, I'll go with you. I've given that report to a colleague in the same community as me, and asked him to take it to the company for me, and asked him to ask for a leave of absence for me by the way. So, I don't care what I do today. It's all free, so don't be afraid to bother me."

Hearing what Gu Chuan said, Xia Yu felt relieved, she was afraid that his important work would be delayed because of her affairs.

Looking at the phone, Xia Yu thought about it before nine o'clock, and said to Gu Chuan: "It's still the rush hour for work, let's wait until nine o'clock before leaving."

"That's fine, otherwise, even if you are on the road, you will be stuck on the road and unable to move."

Gu Chuan nodded in agreement.

Speaking of rush hour, talking about traffic jams, Xia Yu thought of Gu Chuan's tired face and became more and more puzzled.

"Gu Chuan, what time did you leave home in the morning? Why did you come so early? Didn't you tell me it was 09:30 last night?"

"Departure at eight o'clock." Gu Chuan scratched his head, using external movements to hide his unease.

"I'm a man, I can't make you girls wait, so I came early."

But Gu Chuan's words could not solve Xia Yu's confusion, but made her even more confused.

"However, we set off at eight o'clock, which happened to be the rush hour. When you usually deliver books to me, there will be a long traffic jam during the rush hour. It takes nearly an hour to get here from your home. But today, why only use It will be here in four and ten minutes?"

"Well, it's like this. The reason is a bit long, so I'll make a long story short."

As he said that, Gu Chuan rolled his eyes to himself in his own heart, and kept the story short, just to make excuses for delaying time, there are a lot of things to say.

"In order to save time, I took a different route than usual. Although it is a bit farther, the traffic jam is not so serious, so it takes less time."

"Oh, so that's what it is."

"Well, that's it. But, I'm still late, so I made you wait."

Gu Chuan's regretful expression made Xia Yu, who was watching, burst out laughing.

"How do you compare with me? I only woke up at 05:30 to make milk powder for Siche. In fact, you can sleep a little longer. We still have to wait here for coming so early."

Looking at Xia Yu's smile bathed in the morning light, Gu Chuan felt a little crazy.

After Xia Yu's words fell, he came back to his senses. In order not to let Xia Yu notice, he also smiled in agreement.

"Hehe...that's right, now we can only wait for the peak period to end before going out."

Not long after laughing, Gu Chuan left the living room by going to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Gu Chuan wiped the sweat off his forehead, heaved a sigh of relief, then turned on the faucet, and while washing his hands, he cursed himself in a low voice amidst the rushing water.

When I went out today, did I forget to bring my brains? I told myself that each lie had more loopholes than the other, and I almost couldn't make up my mind and stared at Xia Yu.

Also, what happened to the cold sweat on his forehead? He was so proud of his calmness and composure. It's a shame that he figured out a way to urinate, otherwise Xia Yu, who was careful and sensitive, would have to ask again.

After turning off the faucet, Gu Chuan supported the sides of the sink with both hands, raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror.

The eyes are a little swollen, and the blackness under the eyes is hard to ignore. It's just that he hasn't slept all night, but there is even a light stubble on his chin.

Alas, I really dig a hole and jump by myself.

Gu Chuan sighed, and rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, softening the slightly stiff muscles on his face and making him more energetic.

Looking at himself in the mirror with a "good look" again, Gu Chuan recalled last night.

He said good night to Xia Yu because he felt that if he continued to send messages to each other, the words he would say would become more and more dry. Moreover, he was also afraid that Xia Yu would send him a thank you from time to time.

So, before the atmosphere became awkward and the conversation couldn't continue, he simply ended it, which made both parties feel better.

And the report that he needs to stay up late to do does not exist, but it is true that he stayed up late because he didn't sleep all night.

I turned off my phone and lay down on the bed to cultivate sleepiness, but Xia Yu's image and what she said always popped up in my mind involuntarily.

There was one Xia Yu lying on his back, another one lying on his side, and when he was overwhelmed by the images that popped up by himself and sat up from the bed, a different Xia Yu automatically appeared in his mind.

Later, he went to the balcony to blow cold wind, trying to calm himself down in the cold wind, but after blowing it for half an hour, it had no effect at all, and Xia Yu was still ejected.

In the end, he resigned himself to his fate and lay back on the bed, letting all kinds of Xia Yu flash through his mind like a revolving lantern, smiling, drooping, frowning...

Later, all the Xia Yu disappeared, and gathered together into a Xia Yu who lowered her eyes and said thank you to him.

He was startled all of a sudden, turned his head, and saw Yubai outside the window through the window.

Later, he got up, washed, and sat in the house for half an hour before he set off.

However, it was just seven o'clock at that time, so he walked at the lowest speed for half an hour to complete the usual 10-minute journey.

When I met a sanitation worker on the road, he stared at his car for a long time. If he hadn't noticed it and accelerated his speed to get out of sight of others, he would almost have come up to help him push the car.
