You Are the Star I Cannot Touch - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Like a Thug

Tang Xiaowan left the Gong Group and hadn’t gone far when she saw Chi Yue. Already in a bad mood, seeing her gave her a chance to vent.

She looked at Chi Yue in a black dress, her slender waist exposed, exuding a dangerous aura—clearly not someone to mess with.

Tang Xiaowan followed Chi Yue. Seeing her turn into an alley, she followed suit. She saw Chi Yue exchange a few words with a person, who then left. Just then, Chi Yue noticed Tang Xiaowan.

Tang Xiaowan wasn’t embarrassed and walked straight over. Her opportunities to meet Chi Yue were rare. Mu Yan also came to see Gong Yutong alone, unless she ran into her walking with Mu Yan, it was impossible to see her. Furthermore, Chi Yue wasn’t in school back then.

Chi Yue looked at this person, not sensing any enmity or connection with her.

Tang Xiaowan grasped her waist, which was indeed very slender, but still inferior to Gong Yutong’s. She looked at Chi Yue’s lips, so tempting, and thought of kissing them. She leaned in, and both were stunned.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” Tang Xiaowan was quite embarrassed at this moment, but her inner thoughts were: Her lips are so soft. I’ve never kissed such soft lips.

Would she think she was unskilled just by this one kiss? No, she had to save face.

Before Chi Yue could react, Tang Xiaowan kissed her again.

Chi Yue’s temper was truly bad, even worse than Tang Xiaowan’s by a few degrees. So, she harbored murderous thoughts. She raised her fist, intending to punch her to death, but her body went limp and she fell into Tang Xiaowan’s arms. Chi Yue was so angry she wanted to bite her tongue off.

Tang Xiaowan saw Chi Yue’s body soften even more than before, and her eyes glazed over. “Damn it, so tempting. If I had known this was the way to deal with you, would I have needed to use force? Little beauty, let me kiss you again.”

Chi Yue cursed, “Kiss your mother!” She kicked at Tang Xiaowan, forgetting she was already in Tang Xiaowan’s arms.

Tang Xiaowan grabbed her leg. “Chi Yue, hehe,” she laughed mischievously.

Chi Yue hadn’t understood at first, but the next second, she realized. “Tang Xiaowan, how dare you?”

“What do I have to be afraid of? Little beauty, just submit to me.”

She wanted to fight but couldn’t exert any strength. After being bullied for half an hour, she was finally released. At this point, her back ached and her legs were weak. She had no energy left to fight Tang Xiaowan.

“I’ll find you again, little beauty. Be gentler next time, and I’ll be gentle too,” Tang Xiaowan laughed like a street thug and then left.

“Damn it, I will definitely get back at you,” Chi Yue thought. Now was not the time to settle the score with Tang Xiaowan. She had urgent business to attend to. Someone was investigating Mu Yan, specifically her family. She had to deal with them to prevent them from finding her. After all, it had been ten years, and Mu Yan had changed significantly, plus she changed her name. But just in case, she walked, feeling lightheaded.

Tang Xiaowan naturally didn’t know what kind of trouble she had stirred up with Chi Yue. But for what she had done to Chi Yue, Chi Yue would surely return it twofold, as she was known to hold grudges.

Since it was almost graduation, the dorm rooms were mostly empty. Some students had gone out for internships or job hunting, and others were traveling. She was the only one in the dorm. She packed her belongings. Gu Xizhi suggested they live together, and although she had refused, it led to bullying from Gu Xizhi. Afraid to disobey, she had to compromise. She finished packing her belongings, throwing away what needed to be discarded. There wasn’t much left. There would be no classes in June, and her May classes would end after just one more session. All that remained were job hunting and her graduation thesis. She packed her luggage and left a note for her roommates before leaving. At the door, Gu Xizhi’s car was already waiting. The driver put the suitcase into the trunk, and she got into the car.

“Do you feel reluctant to leave?” Gu Xizhi glanced at the school. She hadn’t studied there. People of their status studied at Z University, a school for the wealthy and privileged, a noble school. Even if ordinary people got in, they would face exclusion and bullying, even with excellent grades. However, the teachers at Z University were the best. It seemed unfair, but this unfairness was later broken by Gong Yutong, or rather, Mu Yan. To catch up with Gong Yutong, Mu Yan’s grades were second only to hers, yet she couldn’t get into Z University. This incident caused a stir at the time, and the people behind Z University were naturally unwilling to break the rules, developing a murderous intent towards Mu Yan. Although Gong Yutong had just started her freshman year, she had already taken over the Gong Group in high school, and being the eldest daughter of the Gong Group, she approached the principal. With a single word, she broke the rules. No one dared to say no. Not because they didn’t dare, but because Gong Yutong’s way of dealing with things was horrifying. Her thoughts were interrupted by Qu Shijin.

“Yes, everyone says you’ve wasted your college years if you don’t date. I have a little regret. As for my roommates, we’ve always had a good relationship, but we haven’t seen much of each other in the last month. They’re busy job hunting or traveling.”

“Not dating.” Gu Xizhi looked at her. “Regretting it? Should I talk to the school and let you study for two more years to date?”

Qu Shijin shook her head hard. “No, no, no need.” How could she forget their relationship? She had never told her friends that she was being kept. Facing Tang Xiaowan, she hadn’t even denied being her girlfriend, which was already a pleasant surprise.

“Next time, think about the consequences before you speak. To Huayu,” Gu Xizhi instructed the driver.

“Yes, President Gu.”

“What are we doing at Huayu?” She mentioned Huayu with lingering fear.

“Buying clothes. What, am I so poor that I make you wear clothes worth tens of yuan?”

“I don’t want to,” she knew that Huayu clothes were branded and extremely expensive. She didn’t want them; she couldn’t afford to repay.

“The bed or the clothes, you choose?”

Qu Shijin wanted to cry. Neither was good, but the clothes…

“The money I spend on you doesn’t require you to repay it.” She was friends with Gong Yutong, so the clothes at Huayu could be heavily discounted for her, and she could even take them for free. She might be rich, but she wasn’t as rich as Gong Yutong. It was a pity that Gong Yutong didn’t like women, otherwise, she would really like to be supported by her.

The two of them arrived at Huayu, and Gu Xizhi immediately took her to the clothing area.

“President Gu.” They knew about Gu Xizhi’s relationship with Gong Yutong, so they naturally dared not neglect her.

“Mhm.” Gu Xizhi looked at the latest dresses, all beautiful. She looked at Qu Shijin, who was staring at the dresses on the very top floor. Generally, the more expensive and beautiful items were hung high, in the best spots in the store.

“So beautiful,” she exclaimed sincerely. They were truly beautiful. She had never seen such stunning, dazzling dresses, and the designs were so outstanding.

“Pack up all ten sets hung up there.” She pulled Qu Shijin to the shoe section, then picked out ten pairs of high-heeled shoes for Qu Shijin. They weren’t too high. Then, she dragged Qu Shijin to the lingerie store, picking out ten sets as well. Naturally, she didn’t forget to buy her pants, t-shirts, and jackets, all ten sets, plus shoes.

“This… I don’t want them anymore,” she finally realized. “President Gu, seriously, no. It’s too much.”

“The bed.”

Qu Shijin lowered her head helplessly. She didn’t want to engage in intimacy with her anymore; she couldn’t take it.

“I’m taking these with me. Go find your President Gong to pay.” She wasn’t going to pay. These must cost several hundred million, right? Saving money was better.

Before the manager could speak, Gong Yutong spoke. She and Mu Yan had come to check the place and see if they could free up some space to promote the ‘We Love’ brand, as it belonged to a friend. Instead, she saw Gu Xizhi sweeping up clothes.

“President Gu, you’re buying clothes for your girlfriend, and I’m paying? Is that appropriate?” She leaned back lazily, showing no emotion.

“You’re rich, I’m not.” Gu Xizhi watched her people take the clothes. She wasn’t polite at all. “I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.” She dragged Qu Shijin away.

The manager looked at her boss. This was a heavy loss.

Gong Yutong rubbed her temples, feeling a headache. The items given to Tang Xiaowan cost nearly 300 million, and her coffee table and office door were also broken. Adding in what Xizhi took, it would be several hundred million, around 500 to 600 million. Thinking of this, how could her head not hurt? She tossed a card to the manager and left with Mu Yan. The expenses incurred had to be accounted for. Even if the money would eventually come back to her, she couldn’t break the rules, or the accounts would be easily messed up.
