You Are the Star I Cannot Touch - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: There is No If

At this moment, Chi Yue and Tang Xiaowan were both surprised.

Tang Xiaowan looked at President Gu. Well, she’s serious.

Chi Yue: President Gu has fallen for her. Otherwise, why would she condescend to come here and take a walk with her? Gu Xi Zhi usually changes partners within ten days or a week, and they just leave after their business is done. But she’s accompanying her on a walk. She must have fallen for her.

“President Gu, that’s too great a sacrifice,” Gong Yutong said faintly. She had business with Gu Xi Zhi, and finding her here was quite rare.

“You… you’re looking for me?” Gu Xi Zhi also felt a bit embarrassed, and she was caught by Gong Yutong.

“Mhm. So, you want the beauty but not the money? You don’t want those tens of millions of projects?”

“I want them. Wait for me in bed.” After saying that, Gu Xi Zhi wanted to bite her own tongue off. She must be completely sex-crazed these days.

Gong Yutong reached out and hooked her chin, smiling enchantingly. “I’ll wait for you.” Then she left.

Gu Xi Zhi almost died at the age of twenty-six.

She was an old hand at relationships, and Gong Yutong was a complete novice, but her flirtation just now could literally take her breath away.

“I… she… Yutong, she…” Tang Xiaowan stammered a bit. “She actually flirted with you… No… This person is simply… Holy sht!* Gu Xi Zhi, she actually teased you! She actually knows how to flirt! Wait, why is Gong Yutong always so good to you, so gentle, yet so cold to me? Why?”

“You know what you did yourself.”

“I… I just liked her at the time! Didn’t you like her too? Why can you receive her affection and I can’t?”

Qu Shijin was a bit confused. Tang Xiaowan liked President Gong? Then… She didn’t dare to think further. Those two wouldn’t… No, no, she shook her head. President Gong has always been pure and aloof, not interested in beauty. She wouldn’t. But President Gu likes her? This… And this Tang Xiaowan. What is the situation with the three of them?

Gu Xi Zhi gave her a blank look. Given what Tang Xiaowan did, it was already good that Gong Yutong didn’t kill her. And she has the nerve to ask why?

Chi Yue was a little… Tang Xiaowan likes Gong Yutong, and Gu Xi Zhi likes her too? That’s… not right. They look pretty innocent, but Gu Xi Zhi and Gong Yutong looked innocent. Tang Xiaowan’s gaze toward Gong Yutong was somewhat indecent.

Qu Shijin silently lowered her head. With such an excellent President Gong nearby… Suddenly, her hand felt warm. She looked up at Gu Xi Zhi.

“I thought she was beautiful back in school, so I purely liked her beauty. Not the kind of liking you’re thinking of. Later, I thought it would be cool to have such a beautiful person as a friend, plus her status. So later… I clung to her, and that’s how we have the relationship we have now.” She was also turned gay by Gong Yutong. Alas… it’s not good to have such a beautiful person around. It’s easy to turn gay. “Given my and Yutong’s status, how could it be possible for me to be friends with her?”

It was purely because she was shameless, otherwise there would really be no hope.

Gu Xi Zhi’s gentle explanation made Qu Shijin a little foolish. She looked at her, feeling for the first time that she was so gentle, just staring at her blankly.

“Lust is the root of all evil, Little Qu. Restrain yourself and eat properly. I have things to do,” she tapped her on the head.

“Mhm.” Qu Shijin was happier and couldn’t hide her smile even while eating.

Chi Yue suddenly wondered why Mu Yan didn’t like Gu Xi Zhi. Gu Xi Zhi had emotions; she wasn’t a heartless person. Falling for her would be better than Gong Yutong, but where could she find an ‘if’?

Gu Xi Zhi had business to attend to, so Qu Shijin ate quickly. After she was full, Gu Xi Zhi paid the bill and pulled Qu Shijin away.

“Wouldn’t it be great if Xiao Yan liked Gu Xi Zhi?” Chi Yue drank sadly.

“She met Yutong first, then Xi Zhi. Actually, their temperaments are different. Mu Yan might not like Xi Zhi. Yutong wasn’t as cold back in school. Wait, she seemed to have become colder after she found out Mu Yan liked her.”

“I blame Gong Yutong, but she didn’t do anything wrong. Rejecting her directly and not giving her a chance, although cruel, is the best way to reject her.”

“Mhm. It’s a pity Mu Yan is dead set on it and won’t look back.”

If Mu Yan didn’t like Gong Yutong, or if she liked someone other than Gong Yutong, Mu Yan might be very happy. But she just happened to like such a cold-hearted person, who was also cold-hearted toward her own family, without much emotion. Perhaps because Chi Yue couldn’t see through her, she didn’t know if she had emotions.

She suddenly felt sorry for Mu Yan, but even if she wanted to help, it was no use. The person involved was Gong Yutong.

Gu Xi Zhi dropped Qu Shijin off at their place and went to find Gong Yutong. She opened the door and found her leaning on the bed, which sparked an urge in Gu Xi Zhi to flirt.

“President Gong is quite obedient.”

“President Gu, my time is very expensive for one night. Are you sure you want to waste time?” She wasn’t covered by a quilt. Her long, fair legs were crossed, and she looked quite lazy. When facing Gu Xi Zhi, she was less cold, smiling ambiguously, extremely tempting.

Bang! The bathroom door slammed shut. Gu Xi Zhi almost died at the age of twenty-six again. She looked up. Nosebleed! She hasn’t been this passionate lately. She quickly took a shower to calm her restless blood.

Gong Yutong continued to look at the data on her tablet. When Gu Xi Zhi came out and finished blowing her hair, she leaned beside her. Gong Yutong handed her the tablet.

“Yutong, I like women, after all. Pay attention to your image and stop trying to seduce people.” Her pajamas were also very inappropriate. The whole strap was down to her arm. She looked very… She should just look at the data.

Gong Yutong glanced at herself. She hadn’t noticed before. She adjusted her clothes. No wonder Gu Xi Zhi reacted so strongly. She held a wine glass and leaned back. “If you think it’s okay, we can finalize it.”

“Let me take a look first. My new TV series is about to air.”

“I’ll give you a boost.” She took a sip of wine.

“Xiao Wan asked me earlier why you differentiate your treatment of people. It’s ridiculous that she even asked. If it weren’t for Chi Yue, I would have hit her.”

“I don’t differentiate. I just give her a little kindness and she’ll get carried away. It’s better to be a little cold,” she put down her wine glass, her thoughts drifting far away.

“That’s true. What’s going on between her and Chi Yue lately? It feels strange.”

“I don’t know. Xiao Wan probably provoked her again. I can’t manage it. As long as it’s not life-threatening, I don’t need to worry about it.” She turned to lie down on the bed, looking out the window.

Gu Xi Zhi finished looking at all the data, then looked at Gong Yutong. She was asleep. She… putting herself in front of her is practically inviting a crime.

“Xi Zhi, stop staring,” Gong Yutong opened her eyes. “Did your little girl not satisfy you? You’re staring at me like a hungry wolf who hasn’t eaten in days.”

“No.” Gu Xi Zhi massaged her forehead. She’s been a little abnormal these days. She needs to be celibate. She needs self-control.

Gong Yutong looked at her. “President Gu, be careful of kidney deficiency.”

Gu Xi Zhi: “…Get out!”

“This is my bed.”

“Don’t force me to bestow my favors upon you.”

“Can you beat me?”

Gu Xi Zhi: “…I suddenly think that if Mu Yan could beat you, you would have been ruined by her for ten years, maybe even imprisoned. It’s terrible just thinking about it.”

“There is no ‘if’.” Can’t she wish her something good?

“I really hope there was an ‘if’. After all, you’re Gong Yutong. The thought of you being bullied and crying for mercy is exciting. If Xiao Wan could beat you, you’d be miserable too.”

Gong Yutong: “…” They’re all crazy. Did she abuse them? Could they wish her well?

If there really was an ‘if,’ she shivered. Given Mu Yan’s… she dared not imagine. And Tang Xiaowan, she’s notoriously bad and finds pleasure in bullying people. She’s really not a good person. It would be quite miserable. Fortunately, she’s skilled in martial arts.
