You Are the Star I Cannot Touch - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Treating the Waist

Qu Shijin didn’t quite understand why Gu Xizhi brought her to a night market.

“Do you rarely come to this kind of place?” Gu Xizhi sometimes visited lively streets for inspiration.

“Yes,” Qu Shijin was almost always busy with part-time jobs, earning money, and studying.

“You need to relax sometimes. Being too tense isn’t good,” Gu Xizhi knew how to enjoy life. Although she managed Gu Corporation, if one day her family was unwilling, it wouldn’t matter. She had already started her own separate company. Enough money to spend was all she needed. Life was meant to be enjoyed, not used to torture oneself.

“You… have money.”

Gu Xizhi had money to enjoy, but Qu Shijin didn’t. She had to work hard to earn money and study diligently to change her life. Her life was devoted entirely to money.

“True. You can’t do anything without money. You need money to have qualifications. I’ll take you for a late-night snack. Don’t worry, it’ll be small portions, just to enjoy some good food.”

“Oh.” Gu Xizhi was completely different from what she imagined. She was always casual and leisurely. Qu Shijin had thought she would be difficult to get along with, but she was surprisingly easygoing.

“You don’t want to?” Gu Xizhi looked at her. “Then we can go back and do some things in bed that will make you want to cry?”

“No…” She didn’t want that.

“What? Are you tired of it so soon, or is my technique bad? Seems I need to practice,” she muttered to herself.

Qu Shijin’s cheeks were crimson. This person was truly mean, always bullying her.

“I love bullying you the most, especially when you cry.”

Qu Shijin: “…”

They had a late-night snack and walked around for a while. Back at the villa, Qu Shijin felt awkward sitting on the bed after showering.

“How about changing locations tonight? And trying a different position?”

Qu Shijin: “…”

“Silence means yes,” Gu Xizhi went to shower. She enjoyed watching Qu Shijin look shy, yet dissatisfied, and having to resign herself to the situation. It was amusing.

…

“As long as you’re here, almost everyone in the entire City Z shows up. My drama has become even more popular than I imagined just from a trailer, thanks to your investment,” Gu Xizhi shook her head. “You rarely attend banquets. Whenever you do, they all come, trying every way to get close to you.”

“It’s none of my business. I don’t need to deal with them.” Gong Yutong held her wine glass. Her status was already extraordinary, coupled with her aura of ‘do not approach’ and extreme coldness, anyone wanting to come closer could only stop. After all, not everyone could approach her, and doing so might even incur a price. So many people settled for second best, approaching Gu Xizhi and Tang Xiaowan, and then slowly trying to get closer to Gong Yutong.

“You… don’t you know? Mu Yan invested one billion in this trailer.”

Gong Yutong, who was about to take a sip of wine, stopped and frowned. “She… I’m going to the restroom.”

“Mm. Oh, right, Xiaowan…” Gu Xizhi looked at Gong Yutong.

Gong Yutong looked at Gu Xizhi.

Two words flashed in both their minds: We’re done.

“You handle it when you get back,” Gu Xizhi rubbed her forehead. “She came back today. I forgot to pick her up. She… couldn’t still be waiting at the airport, could she?”

“No, she’s not stupid.” Gong Yutong left.

Mu Yan had just come out of the restroom when a force pulled her into a room. She prepared to fight, but smelled a familiar scent and gave up. Instead, her face filled with delight. Gong Yutong rarely sought her out actively.

Clap. The room light turned on.

Gong Yutong looked at Mu Yan. “Do you have too much money? Investing one billion?”

“She’s your friend.” Mu Yan looked at her. Why does she look angry? “I wasn’t clinging to you.”

“She doesn’t need that little bit of money,” Gong Yutong took out a card. “Here. You know how you make your money. Stop wasting it recklessly.”

“I…” Mu Yan took it. Gong Yutong was concerned about her. The fastest way for her to earn money was by taking on assassination jobs; other methods weren’t as quick. Gong Yutong was definitely worried about her. By the time Mu Yan realized this, Gong Yutong had already left. She chased after her, running a bit too fast, and stepped directly on someone’s dress. Gong Yutong fell straight down. Mu Yan tried to grab her but missed, falling on top of her.

Gong Yutong was utterly speechless. Her waist felt like it was going to break.

The lips were soft. Mu Yan actually kissed her on the mouth. Last time, she was tied up and kissed for a while. Now… the entire hall was full of people. What kind of trouble is this going to cause me? She tried to push Mu Yan off, but Mu Yan grabbed her hands and kissed her quite aggressively.

Mu Yan had initially intended to get up, but she couldn’t help herself. Every time she got close to Gong Yutong, she couldn’t resist kissing her, wanting to do something to her. She couldn’t control herself, especially while lying on top of her.

Gu Xizhi was somewhat bewildered. Should I pull them apart, or just watch? Or… damn it. Gong Yutong already didn’t like women. Will this make her hate me too? I genuinely like women. Will she start hating women? Last time she was tied up, Mu Yan bit her, but probably didn’t kiss her, or Gong Yutong wouldn’t be so calm. But Mu Yan was kissing her so passionately. How come she has no reaction at all? Well, she really must be a straight woman who genuinely likes men.

“Yutong, this… isn’t good. Being pinned down and kissed, with so many people watching, how embarrassing,” Tang Xiaowan said fearlessly. “So you’re the one who gets pinned down, huh?” She had come back intending to confront the two of them, but seeing this scene, she was full of curiosity.

Gong Yutong: “…” Her face was covered in black lines. She wanted to get up, too, but her waist… She was taken advantage of for nothing, and her reputation was half-destroyed.

Mu Yan released her, seeing her still cold and calm. She really has no feelings for me. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but hate her. She looked at Gong Yutong’s fair neck and bit down hard, only letting go after drawing blood.

Gong Yutong at this moment was breathtakingly beautiful. Her red lips were utterly tempting, and the blood on her collarbone was a predatory beauty.

Mu Yan almost kissed her again. She knew Gong Yutong’s waist was seriously injured, or she wouldn’t be lying there without getting up. She took out a silver needle, inserted it, and then pulled it out. “Try moving now?”

Gong Yutong got up with Gu Xizhi’s support. She felt much better, but it was truly painful. She instantly didn’t want to move.

“Will this affect her future movements?” Tang Xiaowan asked Mu Yan.

“It’s not too serious.” Thinking of the injury on her waist, Mu Yan’s eyes darkened, filled with self-reproach, heartache, and regret. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

“That’s good. Yutong, as long as you can still move, it’s fine. What about the two hours you owe me?”

Gong Yutong completely ignored her. What kind of friend is this? My waist is about to break. “Mu Yan, come with me. Treat my waist.”

“Mm-hmm.” Mu Yan was also worried about her waist. Any issue could affect her future happiness.

“Gong Yutong!” Tang Xiaowan watched the two of them leave. “How stingy! I haven’t even asked what it feels like to be kissed yet! Why did she run? Our CEO Gong isn’t frigid, is she? No reaction at all.”

Gu Xizhi: “…” “She doesn’t like women. I said, can you not cause trouble when you come back? I’m hosting this banquet tonight.”

“No trouble. I’m going to rest. I’ll find you tomorrow.” Tang Xiaowan left with a somewhat mischievous laugh.

Gu Xizhi: “…” Waiting at the airport for two hours. What kind of revenge is she planning? She was very vengeful. Sigh. When the three of them met in school, Tang Xiaowan was practically a little bully, harassing both boys and girls.

Especially when it came to Gong Yutong, who was beautiful, aloof, and had a special status as the eldest daughter of the Gong family, highly favored by Elder Gong. The Tang family and her own family were only considered wealthy families and naturally couldn’t compare to the Gong family. Gu Xizhi knew Gong Yutong’s status and was quite wary, trying to avoid provoking her. But Tang Xiaowan was different. She looked for trouble every few days. She never succeeded, yet she kept trying every time. Gu Xizhi thought Tang Xiaowan was crazy.

Her thoughts drifted back. It was more important to deal with the current situation.
