The three of them followed Yuan Chu all the way out of the "pure color" and came to the roadside, and finally stopped in front of a white car.

The evening breeze was cool, gently brushing across people's cheeks, dispelling some of the dryness on their faces.

The three of them got in the car. Yuan Chu wanted to send Gu Xi back first, but was rejected.

With a rumble, the engine started, and finally Yu Xiaoxiao was sent back first.

After a while, Yu Xiaoxiao left first, and Yuanchu and Gu Xi were the only ones left in the car.

Yuanchu restarted the engine, and less than two minutes passed.

In a corner where she couldn't see, Gu Xi's long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and then she closed her eyes, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Yuanchu didn't notice this detail. She held the steering wheel steadily, stared at the road ahead, and asked, "Where do you live?"

After a long while, there was no reply.

Yuanchu raised his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car. The man leaned against the backrest and seemed to have fallen asleep. His face lost some of its sharpness and instead looked a bit more tranquil.

Yuanchu knew that this person had drunk alcohol before, but she didn't look drunk at all when she left the house just now. She didn't expect that this person fell asleep as soon as she got in the car.

Yuan Chu felt helpless and called Gu Xi's name several times, but still no one answered.

Yuanchu simply parked the car on the side of the road. She got out of the car, opened the back door, leaned in, and tried to wake the man up.

"Gu Xi, Gu Xi..."

Yuan Chu called out and shook her gently, trying to wake her up.

Seeing that the man had his eyes closed, he only licked his dry lips slightly, and snorted uncomfortably, with no intention of waking up at all.

The space in the back row was narrow and the two of them were very close to each other, so close that Yuanchu could clearly feel the person's shallow breathing, like a feather gently brushing across the water.

Yuan Chu's gaze moved to her face. The woman in front of him had a pretty face, cold and white skin, and almost invisible pores. She should be three or four years younger than him.

Seeing that she couldn't be woken up, Yuanchu felt a little troubled. She didn't know where this person lived, and it was impossible for her to just throw him into her car.

Should I take her to a hotel or take her back to my home?

Yuan Chu chose the former. More than ten minutes later, she drove the car to a hotel, got out of the car first, and then helped Gu Xi get out.

Yuan Chu half-knelt with one leg on the seat cushion, put his hands through Gu Xi's armpits, half-hugged her slender waist, and tried to help her out of the car.

Before Yuanchu could exert any strength, Gu Xi suddenly half opened her eyes, her eyelashes fluttered like butterflies, and she said in a daze: "Where... where are you taking me?"

Yuanchu stared at her rosy face and asked uncertainly: "Are you awake?"

Gu Xi uttered a light “hmm”.

Yuan Chu took a deep breath and said, "I don't know where your home is, so I'm going to take you to a hotel for one night."

Unexpectedly, this person refused to admit it, and was full of resistance. He even stretched out his hand to push Yuan Chu, and said childishly, "No, no, I don't want to stay in the hotel."

Seeing that the person was unstable, Yuanchu released his hand from her waist, helped her sit steadily in the back seat, and asked kindly: "Where is your home? I'll take you home."

Gu Xi stared at Yuan Chu: Without you, Master, how can we call it a home?

After a while, she pursed her lips and said with difficulty: "I no longer have a home."

Yuan Chu didn't know if she said something wrong, but she just asked where her home was.

She saw that man's eyes were slightly red again, and he was staring at her with grievance.

Yuanchu looked away uncomfortably. She seemed to not want to see this person cry. Whenever this person cried, she felt uncomfortable for no reason in her heart.

But the two of them couldn't remain in this stalemate as it was already two o'clock in the morning.

Yuanchu knew that this man had been drinking before and might not be fully conscious yet. Besides, she couldn't just leave him on the street.

Yuanchu was somewhat helpless and asked dryly: "You don't want to stay in a hotel, and you don't want to go home, so what do you want to do?"

Gu Xi curled her lips, her eyes and eyebrows smiling. She leaned over and put her lips close to Yuan Chu's ear, "Sister~ I want to stay at your house for one night, is that okay?"

Gu Xi's voice was soft, with a hint of sweetness and charm, as if it had a hook, captivating people's hearts.

This person was so close to him that his breath sprayed on his ears. Yuan Chu felt his ears go numb and his whole body was uncomfortable.

She lowered her head slightly and said firmly, "No."

Hearing the ruthless rejection, Gu Xi's eyes were filled with tears. He looked at her eagerly, looking very aggrieved.

Gu Xi noticed that her master's ears had turned red, and she felt a little proud in her heart.

She glanced over and asked innocently: "Why?"

Yuanchu was a little embarrassed to speak, she couldn't explain it, "Because..."

She thought that she took the man back to her home after just knowing him for one night. What if he turned out to be a scammer?

Although there was nothing valuable in her room, and judging from Gu Xi's words and temperament, the possibility that she was a liar was extremely low, but Yuan Chu had to think it over carefully.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Gu Xi burst out laughing, and her words were full of sincerity: "Sister, I have absolutely no ill intentions, please believe me."

"I……"

Gu Xi stared at her with burning eyes, as if she would make a scene in the next second if Yuan Chu didn't agree.

"Sister, you believe me."

Finally Yuanchu compromised, she was very helpless: "Okay then."

Yuanchu sent a message to his boss, asked for leave tomorrow, and drove Gu Xi back to his residence.

On the way, Yuanchu was still annoyed. She was so talkative. Why did she agree so quickly?

After all, this person was not related to her in any way, but she brought him to her home. It was too casual of her to do so.

But when she saw the other person's pitiful and aggrieved appearance, she couldn't bear to refuse.

Yuanchu is now more convinced that this man is a little liar. How could he not have a home? At least he has a place to live, right?

Could it be that she used to sleep on the street?

Also, when she said she wouldn't stay in a hotel, I subconsciously compromised.

Yuanchu was in tears: If she loses this person now, is it too late?

Seeing this person getting off the car, his feet felt a little unsteady, Yuanchu was afraid that he might fall.

She then put her arm around Gu Xi's waist, put her hand on her shoulder, and helped her up the stairs, gently admonishing her: "Slow down, be careful."

The two people were close together, transmitting each other's warm body temperature.

The long-lost tenderness and thoughtfulness made Gu Xi feel sad again. Her eyes were dark, but now they were flashing with light.

She was not actually drunk, she was just greedy for the warmth of her master.

Yuanchu pressed his fingerprint and unlocked the combination lock.

As soon as he entered the door, Yuan Chu hugged Gu Xi tightly with one hand and fumbled for the switch with the other hand.

In the darkness, Gu Xi was full of dependence. She leaned on Yuan Chu. She sniffed the familiar fragrance on Yuan Chu's body, curled her lips unconsciously, and felt a little distracted.

With a flick of the finger, the light came on, and the furnishings in the room appeared before the two of them without reservation.

Gu Xi took a casual glance and found the house simply furnished, clean and tidy, with no signs of another person living there, which made Gu Xi feel a little happier.

Yuanchu helped her into the house and quickly got a pair of new slippers for Gu Xi to change into.

Even after everyone entered the house, she still felt a little regretful.

How could she bring such a living person home without thinking?
