Chapter 33

When Tao Ruan woke up from her dream again, her underwear was indeed wet again.

Thinking of the terrible things Gu Zhizhou did to her in her dream, she felt both ashamed and angry, and wanted to cover her face.

Just as Tao Ruan was thinking about Gu Zhizhou, Gu Zhizhou sent her a message.

“What do you want to eat for breakfast? I’ll bring it to you.”

What’s wrong with you? So you start acting all serious with her again as soon as it’s daytime?

Tao Ruan sat up in bed, thought for a moment, and then replied to Gu Zhizhou: “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Gu Zhizhou replied quite quickly, saying, “Good morning, girlfriend.”

As expected, Tao Ruan blushed.

Gu Zhizhou sent her another message: “Also, get up quickly, your class is at 8:20 today, if you’re late you won’t have time for breakfast again.”

Tao Ruan then noticed the time.

“Oh no!”

She needs to take a shower; if it gets any later, it might really be too late.

Fortunately, after rushing to finish her meal, Tao Ruan still managed to find a moment to eat. When she went out, Gu Zhizhou was waiting for her downstairs at her dormitory, carrying hot milk and breakfast.

Upon seeing the handsome and gentle-looking guy, Tao Ruan blushed and reached out to tug at the shoulder strap of her backpack.

Gu Zhizhou has now returned to his well-dressed and upright gentlemanly demeanor, as if the person who brutally violated him in his dream yesterday was not him at all.

Tao Ruan then thought of her speculation from yesterday.

Could Gu Zhizhou really have some kind of personality disorder?

“Go have breakfast first, then I’ll take you to class.” Gu Zhizhou walked up to Tao Ruan when he saw her standing still.

Tao Ruan became even more embarrassed by his words and quickly said, “No need, no need. Aren’t you busy with graduation matters lately, senior?”

“No matter how busy you are, you can’t neglect your girlfriend, right?” Gu Zhizhou patted her head with his free hand.

Tao Ruan’s heart started racing again.

Actually, she should have been angry because Gu Zhizhou treated her like that in her dream, but when she thought about how Gu Zhizhou really liked her and might have some mental problems, Tao Ruan couldn’t be angry at all.

never mind.

Who told Gu Zhizhou to be so handsome, and also her boyfriend? Since Gu Zhizhou might have some flaws, she should just be more tolerant of him.

As for what specific problems Gu Zhizhou has, she still needs to investigate slowly. After all, mental health issues are most vulnerable to stimulation, so it’s best not to ask directly.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Gu Zhizhou asked Tao Ruan.

Tao Ruan shook her head, then smiled sweetly at Gu Zhizhou: “Let’s go have breakfast.”

Considering how gentle and considerate Gu Zhizhou was during the day, she decided to forgive him for bullying people recklessly at night.

For the next few days, Gu Zhizhou would bring breakfast to Tao Ruan. The two of them started a simple and sweet relationship, just like a high school couple. They would occasionally watch movies, go shopping together every day, and say goodnight to each other before going to bed.

But in the past few nights, Gu Zhizhou has not entered Tao Ruan’s dreams again, and Gu Zhizhou’s pseudonym has also stopped bothering her.

Tao Ruan was still wondering if it was because her relationship with Gu Zhizhou had stabilized Gu Zhizhou’s mental state that he stopped sending her perverted messages using his alternate account and stopped manipulating her in her dreams at night.

But these are all just speculations, and Tao Ruan doesn’t know the specifics.

Later, she asked Gu Xiao about Gu Zhizhou’s mental state. Seeing how serious she was, Gu Xiao quickly said that she had been talking nonsense before and that he should just have a proper relationship with Gu Zhizhou.

Tao Ruan definitely wants to have a proper relationship with Gu Zhizhou.

However, in reality, Gu Zhizhou is quite innocent and pure. Apart from kissing her on the day he confessed his feelings, he hasn’t kissed her again in the past few days. Even when they are intimate, he is restrained and polite.

Tao Ruan was actually a little dissatisfied.

Having such an incredibly handsome boyfriend, a walking embodiment of masculinity, yet only being able to hold hands and give each other simple hugs seems like a waste of resources.

What’s more, in her dream, Tao Ruan had experienced Gu Zhizhou’s sexual prowess, which he had thoroughly developed, and had fucked her to the point of near death…

Of course, she didn’t expect things to progress that quickly in real life, but at least she should have another kiss, right?

They’re boyfriend and girlfriend.

So on Friday night, Tao Ruan sent a message to Gu Zhizhou, saying that he shouldn’t come over the next day, and that she would go to his apartment to see him instead.

“Aren’t you afraid I might do something to you if you come here?”

Tao Ruan almost replied, “I really wish you would do something,” but her sense of shame calmed her down.

She hesitated for a long time, tossing and turning in bed, before finally asking, “So, what do you want to do to me?”

Gu Zhizhou replied a while later, saying, “I want to kiss you.”

…

Tao Ruan fell asleep sweetly.

Gu Zhizhou didn’t come into her dreams again that night, but she still felt very content and happy.

She didn’t wake Gu Zhizhou when she got up in the morning, intending to let him sleep a little longer. Then she dressed up specially, bought breakfast, and took the bus to Gu Zhizhou’s place.

The distance wasn’t far, only one stop, and Tao Ruan soon arrived at her destination. However, she didn’t expect to encounter an uninvited guest here.

That was her roommate—Lu Yiqian.

Lu Yiqian stood in front of Gu Zhizhou, who was jogging in the morning. Her usual aloofness was gone, and her face was streaked with tears. She said, “Senior, how could you be with someone as vicious as Tao Ruan? Do you know what she did to me? Just yesterday, she even had someone throw a bucket of ice water on me…”

Gu Zhizhou not only lost his usual gentleness, but also interrupted her with extreme impatience: “You’ve got it wrong, I did that.”

Lu Yiqian asked in disbelief, “W-what?”

Gu Zhizhou’s expression was icy, and his gaze toward Lu Yiqian was devoid of any warmth: “You should have thought of the consequences the moment you splashed water on Ruan Ruan’s face.”

Lu Yiqian’s expression turned ferocious upon hearing this. She gritted her teeth and asked Gu Zhizhou, “Did Tao Ruan tell you something?”

As she said this, she reached out and grabbed Gu Zhizhou’s hand.

Gu Zhizhou’s expression changed instantly. He pushed Lu Yiqian away without hesitation, then glanced at his hand that had been touched, and his face darkened instantly.

He turned and left.

“Senior!”

Lu Yiqian fell to the ground and called out to him from behind, but Gu Zhizhou did not react at all and walked faster and faster, his steps like the wind.

Tao Ruan felt that something was wrong.

She emerged from her hiding place and jogged after Gu Zhizhou, but he walked too fast, and she couldn’t catch up.

Fortunately, Gu Zhizhou had given her the apartment password yesterday. Tao Ruan entered the password and entered the door, where she heard the sound of running water.

“Senior?”

Puzzled, she walked over and saw Gu Zhizhou vigorously rubbing his hands under the tap, scrubbing them until they were red and still not stopping, washing them over and over again, ignoring the water splashing on him.

“Senior!”

Gu Zhizhou’s expression and state were all very strange. Tao Ruan hurriedly went over to turn off the water and then reached out to hold Gu Zhizhou’s hand. Gu Zhizhou subconsciously tried to shake her off, but when he saw that the person in front of him was Tao Ruan, his expression softened and he stopped.

“Soft…”

Tao Ruan’s eyes turned red.

What’s wrong with Gu Zhizhou? Is he a germaphobe? Does he dislike being touched by others? Or did some illness flare up again at that moment? What happened?

“I’m fine,” Gu Zhizhou smiled at her, then pulled his hand away. “Be good, don’t touch me yet, I’m dirty.”

“What’s dirty? You’ve already washed yourself very clean.” Tao Ruan hugged him without caring about anything else, embedding herself completely in Gu Zhizhou’s arms.

Gu Zhizhou’s stiff body gradually relaxed under Tao Ruan’s embrace.
