Dressed as the vicious ex-wife of a villain

At this moment, Shiyang inexplicably found that he seemed to have enough, in addition to feeling guilty for using someone else's original painting as a prototype, a sufficient explanation for the reason why he suddenly disappeared during the chat.

Shiyang: [My faucet suddenly broke tt]

【It got me all wet. 】

The message from Gu Ci came back: [Oh, okay]

【fine】

[How is it now? Is it repaired? 】

Shiyang: [No. 】

[I closed the water gate at home orz]

She replied to the message, glanced in the direction of the bathroom, and asked again:

【Do you know how to fix it? 】

What was sent to him at the same time was a sentence from Gu Ci:

【Do you need help? 】

..............

Judging from the order in which they got off the bus last time, the distance between the two of them should not be too far now.

In order to prove that it was true, Shiyang also recorded a video for Gu Ci showing how the faucet broke.

Then she didn't expect that Gu Ci would actually agree to come over and fix it for her just by mentioning it casually.

When Gu Ci came, he also brought some equipment and parts needed to repair the faucet.

Shiyang looked at the young man who appeared at the door again, and suddenly felt a little glad that Shi Yan was not here tonight, and smiled extremely sweetly.

"come on in."

"I'm so sorry to bother you so much."

...........

In the bathroom, Gu Ci rolled up his sleeves to his forearms, dismantled the broken faucet, and tinkered with the parts inside.

Shi Yang stood beside him, first looking at the faucet that had been dismantled, and then without blinking, he looked at the young man's profile with a focused expression.

Then in her eyes, the boy's hair and pupils seemed to automatically turn blue, and there was a purple seal between his eyebrows, turning into the appearance of Shenzi Yueming in her original painting.

Shiyang looked a little trance for a moment.

Until Gu Ci seemed to have found the problem, he replaced a new screw and retightened the removed faucet.

"Can you try opening the water gate?" Gu Ci said to Shiyang next to him while installing the faucet.

Only then did Shi Yang come back to his senses.

She immediately said "Oh" and trotted to the balcony to open the water gate. Then she returned to the bathroom and saw that tap water was flowing out of the faucet, and the amount of water flow could be accurately controlled according to the angle of the faucet's rotation.

"Okay!" Shiyang immediately said in surprise.

"Yes." Gu Ci washed his hands in the running water, and then put away a few replaced parts.

"Thank you!" Shiyang thanked him happily, and then looked at the young man who came over to fix her faucet as soon as she asked him so late. Gu Ci was so kind to her, and it would be really sinful for her to do anything to disgrace him again.

Shiyang bit his lower lip, hesitated, and finally decided that no matter what Gu Ci's reaction was when he heard it, he should have the minimum right to know.

"...Gu Ci." So, when the young man put away all the used parts, Shiyang tried to speak.

Gu Ci stood up straight and faced Shiyang, and saw that she was hesitant to speak: "Is there anything else?"

Shiyang took a breath, looked weakly at the young man with a gentle expression, and first gave a preset condition: "I have something I want to tell you, but can you? If you don't like it after listening, Is it okay not to be angry?"

"I really didn't mean it!" Shiyang blinked and looked innocent.

Gu Ci seemed to frown slightly when he heard this: "What's the matter?"

Then he said to Shiyang, who had a begging expression on his face: "Just tell me, I won't be angry with you."

Shiyang was stunned for a moment by the young man's assurance that he would not be angry with her: "Really?"

They had only known each other for a short time, and had only met a few times. Even before they knew what was going on, they could make a promise that they would not be angry with her.

Gu Ci: "Really."

So Shiyang took a breath, and when she was about to speak, suddenly, there was a sound of opening the door outside the room.

Then, Shi Yan's careless voice sounded: "Shi Yang——"

As soon as Shi Yang's confession came to his lips, his eyes widened and he was shuddered when he heard Shi Yan's voice.

What the hell!

Isn’t the delay just coming back from a business trip tomorrow?

Why did you suddenly come back tonight?

Shiyang looked at the young man standing in front of her again.

If Shi Yan found out that Gu Ci was still at their home so late, the two of them were alone, with the excuse of fixing the faucet being ridiculous...

Just because Shi Yan was mean to Gu Ci last time, Shi Yang only had one thought in his mind now——

We must not let Shi Yan discover Gu Ci.

We absolutely must not let Shi Yan discover Gu Ci.

Otherwise, she might be locked up in a dark room for the rest of her life.

Gu Ci was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard the sound of time delay outside.

Then he saw that Shiyang had put on an urgent expression.

The time-delayed sounds outside were getting closer and closer, and they were obviously walking towards her room, approaching step by step.

Shi Yang was so nervous that the hairs all over his body stood up. He grabbed the boy's arm and was fussing around in confusion. Finally, he saw his big wardrobe with his sharp eyes.

Shiyang grabbed Gu Ci's arm and dragged him to the closet, opened the door and pointed inside, then clasped his hands together in a begging gesture, indicating that his brother could not find him here.

Gu Ci: "..."

……

At the same moment when the door was opened in time delay, the boy's last exposed long leg was put back into the closet.

Shiyang was so frightened that she instantly closed the closet door, then turned around and stood up straight, facing Shi Yan who appeared at the door of her room.

"Who told you to enter my room without knocking?" Shi Yang was nervous and guilty, and also very angry that Shi Yan entered her room without knocking, almost too late.

Shi Yan looked up and down Shiyang's seemingly weird body, and then sneered at her face: "You didn't close the door yourself."

Shiyang: "Humph."

"Aren't you coming back tomorrow?" she asked, catching the person who had gone home early to kill him off guard.

Shi Yan narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and his expression was thoughtful: "I can go back to my own home whenever I want. Shi Yang, why do I feel like you are like this, as if you don't want me to come back?"

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"No, no!" Shiyang was immediately frightened and quickly denied, "What time do you come back has anything to do with me."

Then she changed the subject and asked Shi Yan, "What did you just ask me to do?"

After hearing this, Shi Yan leaned against the door frame, folded his hands, and said lazily, "I brought you supper and asked you to go out and eat it while it's hot."

Shiyang: "Oh."

Although the delay is usually a bit slow, only my brother remembers to bring a midnight snack when he comes back from a business trip at night.

Shi Yang slowly walked out of the room under Shi Yan's gaze. During this period, he tried hard to restrain himself from looking back at the closet where the person was hidden. Then he sat down at the dining table and saw that the late night snack Shi Yan brought back was wontons.

Shiyang was eating wontons one by one carelessly, and she couldn't help but think about Gu Ci, who was hiding in her closet like a thief.

The boy's expression when he reluctantly got into the closet showed that he had lived for so long and still didn't know he was so shameless.

When he thought that Gu Ci was still in the closet, Shiyang suddenly speeded up his eating of wontons.

Not only did she finish the wontons, but she also drank all the soup in the bowl. Then she saw that Shi Yan opposite had almost finished eating.

"I'll take care of it." Without waiting for another sip of soup, Shi Yang took the bowl in front of him away.

Shi Yan's hands were empty and he was forced to end the meal early. Then he saw Shi Yang who had stood up and started to put away the dishes.

He didn't say anything.

Shiyang put away the dishes and chopsticks, thinking that Shi Yan should go back to the room to rest so that she could put Gu Ci out of the closet and send him away. However, when Shiyang put the dirty dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher and came out of the kitchen, he saw When I arrived, I lay on the sofa in the living room and watched TV.

Shiyang blurted out anxiously: "Why are you watching TV so late!"

Shi Yan looked over: "Huh?"

Only when Shi Yang met Shi Yan's eyes did he realize that he had been unusually impatient, and quickly changed his words: "I, I mean..."

"I can't watch TV at home?" Shi Yan raised his eyebrows.

Shiyang nervously made excuses: "I mean, how can I sleep while you watch TV? It's too noisy."

Shi Yan was suspicious: "Why didn't you say it was noisy before? Can you hear the sound of my TV in your room?"

"Or..." Shi Yan's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Shiyang, you have been in such a panic all night, what are you hiding from me?"

"No!" Shiyang was so frightened that she denied it reflexively. She was afraid that if she continued like this, her secret would be exposed. "I have nothing to hide from you."

"I'm going back to my room first."

Seeing that failing to reason with Shi Yan would easily arouse suspicion, Shi Yang had no choice but to return to his room, and the first thing he did was to lock the door from the inside.

After confirming that Shi Yan couldn't get in, Shi Yang finally leaned against the door panel and breathed a sigh of relief, then took a look and tiptoed towards the closed closet.

Shiyang opened the closet door carefully.

The light in the room shone in, and Shiyang saw the boy half sitting and half squatting in her closet. When she opened the door, he raised his head and looked in her direction.

Opening the closet and seeing the beauty hidden in the dark is originally a very heart-warming scene.

It's just that the clothes in Shiyang's closet are usually not very tidy, because after someone was suddenly stuffed into it, the clothes inside became even more messy. At this moment, she saw a piece of her pink underwear running out of nowhere. , An Qing rested on the young man's shoulder.

There were too many messy clothes, and the boy didn't seem to notice them.

Shiyang suddenly blushed, and before he noticed it, he reached out his hand, ostensibly to brush away the dust on Gu Ci's shoulder, but actually he was brushing off his underwear quietly.

Shiyang lowered his voice: "You come out first."

"Sorry, my brother is watching TV outside."

"You might want to wait until he goes back to his room after watching TV before leaving."

Gu Ci then lowered his head and came out of the closet. Seeing Shiyang's nervous look, he responded, "Okay."

............

It turns out that the house is big after all, and the sound insulation effect of the door panel is also very good. Shiyang has to put his ear against the door to hear what's going on outside.

I'm still watching TV due to the delay, and I don't even know when I will go back to the room after watching it.

After Shiyang heard the news, she looked apologetically at the boy who was waiting patiently on the small sofa in her room.

Then he gritted his teeth and wanted to rush out, pinch Shi Yan's neck, shake him wildly, and ask him why he didn't go back to his room to sleep and rest so late.

Gu Ci also looked at her.

Shi Yang walked over slowly and sat on the edge of the bed opposite the small sofa.

"I'm sorry." She could only lower her voice again and apologize to the boy with a smile.

Gu Ci answered her softly: "It's okay."

Shiyang wondered how it could be okay, he had been waiting like this for almost an hour.

It would be better if she confessed that there was someone at home when Shi Yan came back. But if Shi Yan found out that she was hiding someone in her room now, the earth would be destroyed.

So we can only wait.

The two of them just sat facing each other. Shiyang lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, recalling the topic that the two of them had to stop due to the sudden arrival of the time delay. When he thought of something, he suddenly looked up at the boy again.

Shiyang asked Gu Ci: "Really, you won't get angry with me no matter what I do?"

Gu Ci faced the timid girl in front of him and nodded: "Yes."

How could he be angry with her.

Shiyang looked at the young man nodding towards her and found that it was indeed the case.

Just like when it came to getting into the closet, the young man was obviously reluctant, but as soon as she begged, he still went in.

Now that Shi Yan was outside and couldn't get out, Shi Yang pursed his lower lip. After making enough mental preparations, he took out his phone and showed Gu Ci the character posters of the unreleased new characters in "The Wind Rises".

The two talked quietly.

Shiyang pointed to the "Yue Ming" in the poster to Gu Ci and said weakly: "I drew this character..."

"During that time, I was given the job of drawing this character and had no inspiration. I was so worried that I met you that night..."

She didn't need to say the rest of the sentence.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who this character looks like, let alone the real person.

Gu Ci seemed to take a closer look at the characters on the poster, and then looked at Shiyang, who was nervously waiting for his reaction, just shy of writing "Sorry" on the top of his head.

"The painting is very good." He said to Shiyang.

Shiyang: "Huh?"

Her eyes were stunned after receiving this answer, and there was no trace of displeasure on the young man's face.

Shiyang moved her lips: "You, don't you mind..."

Gu Ci returned the phone to Shiyang, and even smiled at her: "I hope I can help you."

Shiyang was completely stunned after receiving this answer.

So she was so worried and worried, and after she made up her mind to confess, the reply she got was that Gu Ci praised her for her good drawing, and said "I can help you if I can" about her using him as a character prototype?

How could there be such a beautiful, kind, gentle and understanding person in the world?

Shiyang stared at the young man's face.

Gu Ci looked at Shiyang, and then looked in the direction of the door.

He got up and walked over, leaned on the door panel, listened, and asked Shiyang in a low voice: "Has your brother returned to the room?"

So Shiyang followed him and leaned against the door panel to listen.

After listening, she looked up and saw the boy's face again.

I feel like something pink in my heart is starting to get out of control.
