Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Major Events

Gu Fuqiao saw Wang Mei was so angry she couldn’t say a word, yet still had to endure like a little white lotus, and Gu Fuqiao couldn’t be happier.

Go ahead and pretend; since you like playing the white lotus so much, let you enjoy it.

Gu Fuqiao went upstairs with a book, and when she opened the door, she found the house was quiet, but she remembered the bedroom lights were on. When she walked into the bedroom, she saw Yan Zhen Guo sleeping on the bed, still not dressed, his smooth muscles exposed to the air.

"Fallen asleep?" Gu Fuqiao asked puzzled, and she had just approached the bed when a strong arm pulled her down!

After a brief spin, she was directly pinned down by a strong man. Gu Fuqiao looked at Yan Zhen Guo in shock; the man who had just been sleeping soundly was surprisingly quick to react.

Yan Zhen Guo pinned the woman below him, his voice as alert as if he hadn’t been asleep, "You’re finally back." Before Gu Fuqiao could speak, he added, "I’m hungry."

The tone suggested he hadn’t eaten for a long time.

Gu Fuqiao glanced up at him, raising the book in her hand: "I went to buy books. If you’re hungry, make your own food; no need to wait for me."

"You can’t satisfy hunger alone." Yan Zhen Guo’s words stunned Gu Fuqiao, but soon, he physically demonstrated to her the true meaning of hunger.

The bookstore in the alley was already closed at this time, but inside it was brightly lit, unlike the usual small wattage bulbs and candles of the era, the owner seemed unconcerned about electricity bills.

A man wearing glasses and a dark plaid shirt, looking to be about thirty, looked at the book on the shelf and asked the young man next to him, "Did the woman who came today really ask like that?"

"Yeah, Brother Mo, today that woman picked this book as soon as she came in, wanting to borrow it, but I remembered the books on this shelf can only be borrowed by people from the Writers’ Association. So I told her unless Brother Mo agrees, it can’t be loaned out." The young man speaking was the one who attended to Gu Fuqiao today.

Brother Mo picked up the book, weighing it in his hand and said, "Few people from the Writers’ Association borrow this book; lend it to her next time she comes." Actually, the book’s content was rather unorthodox, almost ignored by everyone.

After saying this, Brother Mo turned to the young man, "By the way, did that woman look like a scholar?"

The young man thought carefully and replied, "A scholar? Doesn’t look like a typical female student; she’s not that simple, looks like a capitalist."

Capitalist?

Hearing these three words, Brother Mo frowned slightly, looking at the book again, "In literature, we shouldn’t look at people with such biased eyes. Our magazine is having an event, a call for submissions. Tell her if she’s interested in submitting anything literary, she can send it to our magazine’s address."

——

Gu Fuqiao thought setting boundaries with Yan Zhen Guo would work, but he remained unrestrained in bed affairs. If Gu Fuqiao protested, he would say there’s no result from her submissions, who knows if she’ll succeed. Gu Fuqiao felt utterly defeated by Yan Zhen Guo.

She thought he would be easy-going as a rough guy; surprisingly, his literary skills surpassed hers! Moreover, his twisted logic, she couldn’t counter Yan Zhen Guo!

Fortunately, besides evenings, Yan Zhen Guo was always busy, allowing Gu Fuqiao some peace during the day.

In the morning, she took a birth control pill, read its instructions carefully, and placed it in the cabinet. She remembered the doctor saying she could only take it twice a month. She had taken one previously, and now another, indicating she couldn’t take more this month.

Luckily, the instructions said the effectiveness was quite good; in this era, medicines were potent, so there’s no need to worry.

"I heard it’s so lively, it’s a big event in our residential compound! It’s said such an event has never happened elsewhere." The sound insulation in these old-style buildings was poor, letting all sounds from outside be heard inside.

Gu Fuqiao was puzzled hearing the chatter outside. Had something shocking happened? She quickly opened the door to look but, unfortunately, the military wives had stopped chatting in the corridor and went downstairs to see the commotion.

Feeling curious, Gu Fuqiao decided to go downstairs and take a look, but there wasn’t anything exciting to see. The residents were quick on their feet, and Gu Fuqiao couldn’t keep up. After going downstairs, she couldn’t see a trace of the residents.

Seeing no excitement, she decided to head back home. Just as she turned around, she saw Chen Bajin coming down the stairs.

Seeing Gu Fuqiao, Chen Bajin promptly greeted, "Yan Family girl, where are you going?"

Gu Fuqiao pointed outside, "I just heard two residents talking about something big happening, so I came down to see, but their feet were too fast; I couldn’t keep up." She finished, smiling shyly.

"Oh, you’re talking about that thing!" Chen Bajin laughed and looked at Gu Fuqiao, "I didn’t expect you’d be interested in this matter."

Chen Bajin looked at Gu Fuqiao with a hint of surprise.

In fact, if it were the aloof original owner, she definitely wouldn’t be interested in such trivial matters, given her oblivion to worldly affairs and dedication to reading sacred texts. In her spare time, she’d rather lament the spring and autumn than anything else.

But Gu Fuqiao was different, she considered herself a mundane person, especially in an era without mobile phones or internet, going out to see some excitement counted as entertainment.

"Excitement... I wanted to see what actually happened, do you know what happened?" Gu Fuqiao nodded and said.

Chen Bajin nodded, "Of course I know, I came downstairs to see the excitement too, you should know about this matter."

She should know? She’s not familiar with the affairs of this residential courtyard, but seeing Chen Bajin’s expression, could it have something to do with her or Yan Zhen Guo?

She shook her head, "I really don’t know, hurry and tell me! I’m so curious now!"

Seeing Gu Fuqiao’s curious baby look, Chen Bajin leaned closer and said, "Actually, it’s about that last thing, I heard people say you were there at that time."

Her presence at the matter... it must be about Wang Mei.
