Chapter 1344: Heavenly Lone Star Exorcist vs. Ten-Thousand-Year Number Two (Part 31)

He’s drunk.

At first, he was just aimlessly driving around the city, but as he wandered, he found the route becoming increasingly familiar.

It was the direction to her house.

When he arrived, she wasn’t home.

He just crouched quietly at the door, the slightly chilly night breeze blowing his mind clearer.

He hadn’t intended to deceive her.

But the rare warmth from Gu Shengyin as she entered made him indulge.

So he conveniently "fell" deeper into drunkenness.

Zhou Bingzhu embraced Gu Shengyin contentedly, the empty feeling he had sitting alone in the bar finally satisfied.

"Jiang Lan," he sighed, "be with me."

The sentence was like an alarm ringing in Gu Shengyin’s ears.

With a strong push, she broke free from Zhou Bingzhu’s embrace.

"Zhou Bingzhu, this behavior of yours is truly disgraceful!" Gu Shengyin coldly threw out this sentence and walked out, slamming the door behind her.

Zhou Bingzhu froze for a moment, covering his forehead with some pain.

Why wouldn’t she admit it?

It’s not that he’s being narcissistic.

Since moving out of this house, Zhou Bingzhu had used countless means to gather information about Jiang Lan.

But Jiang Lan’s temperament was usually too indifferent, no matter how much effort he put into it, the results were nothing more than she being very cold and emotionless, the type of person who wouldn’t spare a glance at a beggar with a pitiful look on the road.

Zhou Bingzhu thought that given Jiang Lan’s character, the most likely thing she’d do when she saw him crouching at the door was to act as if she never saw him.

He was prepared for this.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Lan, thinking he was drunk, would take him inside, would care if he fell, and even run a bath for him.

If it weren’t for his inability to hold back and reveal his flaw, perhaps she might have reluctantly helped him bathe and been sent back to bed.

If it were just an ordinary person doing such things to him, Zhou Bingzhu wouldn’t find it surprising.

But she was Jiang Lan!

The Jiang Lan who isolates herself from the whole world, claiming she doesn’t need any friends.

According to the information he’d gathered, she refused any physical contact with people.

Yet she supported him and hugged him.

To say she has no feelings for him at all?

Zhou Bingzhu didn’t believe it.

Then why wouldn’t she admit it?

Zhou Bingzhu felt he should ask for clarity.

He quickly cleaned himself up and changed into clean pajamas.

Opening the door, as expected, Gu Shengyin was nowhere to be seen in the living room.

He was about to knock on her door when Gu Shengyin came out with her damp hair down.

She also had changed clothes, obviously after a simple cleanse.

Her expression was very calm, not at all like her previous angry appearance.

Such calmness made Zhou Bingzhu a bit uneasy.

"Sit down, let’s talk." Gu Shengyin pointed to the sofa.

Zhou Bingzhu sat down, as he had intended.

Gu Shengyin spoke first, "Second Young Master Zhou, I don’t know what of my behavior caused you to misunderstand and think I have feelings for you."

Gu Shengyin looked at him, "I’ve said this many times, I’m Jiang Lan, I don’t need friends, much less a lover."

Zhou Bingzhu’s gaze fluttered, "I still say that I don’t believe it."

Gu Shengyin sneered, "I say such words not to make you believe, but to let you know. Don’t waste any more thoughts on me!"

"Because we will never have a result."
