Chapter 207 Study Hard, Make Progress Every Day [1st Update, Requesting Monthly Pass]
Driving back to Liu Jiayao's apartment in Yadu Garden, Liu Jiayao urged Ge Dongxu to wash up, then went to prepare breakfast herself.
When Ge Dongxu pushed open the bathroom door, he found that all the toiletries and clothes for changing were neatly arranged there, filling his heart with warmth.
"You little rascal, why didn't you blow-dry your hair again? I've told you so many times, it's easy to catch a cold!" Just as Ge Dongxu finished washing up and changed his clothes, stepping out of the bathroom, he was pushed back in by Liu Jiayao, who had a frown on her face. Then, without any discussion, she picked up the hairdryer to blow his hair.
Looking in the mirror, seeing Liu Jiayao holding the hairdryer and blow-drying his hair, with her cute face all flushed, Ge Dongxu felt an indescribable sense of warmth.
This feeling was different from when he was with Yuan Li. Although it was also cozy with her, there was always a restlessness stirring inside him. But with Liu Jiayao, his thoughts tended to be purer.
"Sister Liu!" Overcome with emotion, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but turn around and embrace Liu Jiayao's slender waist.
"Hey, what are you doing? How can I blow-dry your hair like this! Be good, stop fidgeting!" Liu Jiayao's cheeks grew even redder, her eyes showed a hint of drunkenness, but she quickly raised her fist and gave Ge Dongxu a playful punch, exclaiming.
"Alright then!" Ge Dongxu very "reluctantly" let go and turned back around.
"Pfft!" Seeing Ge Dongxu's "reluctant" expression, Liu Jiayao couldn't help but giggle. Then, noticing that the hair was almost dry, she simply put down the hairdryer, wrapped her arms around Ge Dongxu's waist from behind, and rested her small face against his back.
When Ge Dongxu couldn't help but want to turn around, Liu Jiayao let go of her hands and said, "Don't get any funny ideas, let's go eat."
"What ideas could I possibly have? My thoughts are very pure," Ge Dongxu protested his innocence.
"Pure my foot! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?" Liu Jiayao gave Ge Dongxu a glare.
Ge Dongxu's face turned red instantly.
No matter how pure his thoughts were, being tightly hugged from behind by a beautiful woman would still "taint" his thoughts.
"Hehe, feeling a bit embarrassed now, aren't you? You are a student now; you should be focusing on your studies, striving for improvement every day, got it?" Seeing Ge Dongxu embarrassed, Liu Jiayao giggled and tapped his forehead with her finger, instructing him, but her beautiful eyes were clearly filled with teasing and triumph.
"Got it." Ge Dongxu found it comically ironic that he, Ge Dongxu, a dignified practitioner, a billionaire, and Elder Feng's disciple, ended up being chided by a young girl to study hard and aim high. Life... ah, it's simply wonderful!
"Giggle!" Seeing Ge Dongxu nod his head helplessly in acceptance of the guidance, Liu Jiayao couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Her laughter was crisp and melodious, laced with unabashed triumph.
After a while, Liu Jiayao managed to hold back her laughter, wiped the corner of her eyes, pushed Ge Dongxu a bit, and said, "What are you standing there for? Let's go eat."
Without waiting for a response from Ge Dongxu, she reached out, grabbed his hand, and walked toward the dining room. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire
Ge Dongxu was pulled along a step behind, watching her pleasing silhouette, feeling even her movements exuded a sense of joy and triumph. He couldn't help but smile.
He enjoyed being together with Liu Jiayao like this.
Relaxed, cozy, innocent, with a sense of home.
The breakfast was simple, consisting of congee, buns, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a dish of shredded pork.
Although simple, the thought of Liu Jiayao, the boss of Qinglan Cosmetics, going out of her way to cook for him herself filled Ge Dongxu's heart with warmth.
After breakfast, considering that Ge Dongxu had been on a train all night, Liu Jiayao urged him to rest a while. When Dongxu claimed he wasn't tired, Jiayao pulled him to the sofa, had him lie down, and placed his head on her lap, proceeding to massage and knead gently.
Ge Dongxu was truly not sleepy, but Jiayao insisted that he close his eyes. Under her tender massaging, he somehow dozed off for a bit without noticing.
When he woke up, Dongxu saw it was about time and left Yadu Garden.
Knowing that Ge Dongxu had his own things to do, Liu Jiayao didn't press him for details, and only asked if he wanted to come back for lunch.
Checking the time and realizing it was already ten o'clock, and that he had jade selection and shaping to do, Dongxu knew he would definitely not make it back by noon. After a moment's thought, he said, "I can't make it back for lunch, but I will join you for dinner tonight."
"You're not going back to Changxi tonight?" Liu Jiayao's eyes immediately lit up with surprise.
In the past, Ge Dongxu would usually take the train back the same night, rarely staying overnight.
"Yeah, I have money now. If it comes down to it, I'll just hire a car to take me back tomorrow direct, no need to spend the night on the train," Ge Dongxu nodded and said.
"Look at you showing off! At the rate you're spending, the money you make from selling medicine will run out sooner or later! But, heehee, it's okay, Sister will take care of you. Just let me know when you're running low on cash!" Liu Jiayao first gave Ge Dongxu a glance, then quickly burst into giggles, speaking in a very good mood.
"Don't look down on people. I probably have more money than you now," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"Keep dreaming! When it comes to medicine, I couldn't catch up to you even if I were riding a horse, but if you're talking about having more money than me, let's wait until you decide to make money with your medical skills or after you've been working ten years post-graduation," Liu Jiayao said with a smirk and a face of disbelief.
Liu Jiayao didn't believe him, for her current extensive enterprise was the result of her forebearers' hard struggle. And the more she fought in the business world, the more she realized how hard it is to make money.
Ge Dongxu was still just a high school student who, just over two years ago, had been eagerly selling millennium-old wild Polygonum multiflorum at Yongchun Hall to make money. How could Jiayao possibly believe that he now had more money than her?
Unless Dongxu used his medical skills to make money, but Jiayao knew that if Dongxu said he didn't charge for treating people, he truly wouldn't.
"Haha, then just wait and see!" Seeing that Liu Jiayao didn't believe him, Ge Dongxu didn't clarify further, thinking it would be interesting to see her expression when she found out one day that he was a big boss.
"Giggle, then I'll just wait and see," Liu Jiayao said, pursing her lips with a smile and casting a glance at Ge Dongxu.
"You'll be in for a shock," Ge Dongxu said, then he stepped out. Just after taking a few steps, Dongxu suddenly turned around and said to Jiayao, "Sister, don't you want me to study hard, striving for progress every day? If I decide to stay over tonight, then..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiayao was momentarily stunned, and then, seeing the mischievous smile on Ge Dongxu's face, she realized he was teasing her about her excitement upon hearing he might stay. Flushing, she chased after him, fists raised, and began to pummel him at the elevator door, only stopping when Dongxu pleaded for mercy. She then proudly wagged her fist in front of his face and said, "Hmph, ever heard of work-life balance? I'm doing this for your own good!"
"I know, I know!" Ge Dongxu nodded his head like a pecking chicken.
"Giggle!" Liu Jiayao, seeing Dongxu nod his head like a pecking chicken, couldn't help but laugh happily and triumphantly. Then, with a gentle push and a roll of her eyes, she said, "The elevator's here, go on now. I'll be waiting for you at home."
