Gu Qingzhou was the most influential person in the group. When he said that he was going back to retrieve his things, the others naturally had no objections. As for Director Li, after giving Jiujiu a meaningful glance when Gu Qingzhou said that he was going back, he simply turned around and left with the others.
However, no matter how one looked at that back view, it gave off the feeling of someone fleeing in defeat.
After everyone left, Jiujiu finally stepped into the elevator. As soon as Jiujiu entered the elevator, Gu Qingzhou pressed the button for the floor. As the elevator door closed slowly, Gu Qingzhou asked, "Did you have fun at home?"
Jiujiu nodded and expressed assent.
The elevator rose slowly and the two of them remained silent. When the elevator stopped, Jiujiu and Gu Qingzhou walked out of the elevator together. Gu Qingzhou grabbed the handle of Jiujiu's suitcase and transferred it from Jiujiu's hand to his. Staring at the strands of hair on top of Jiujiu's head, he smirked and said, "I'll send you there."
Feeling that his hand was suddenly empty, Jiujiu looked up at Gu Qingzhou, who had a serious expression on his face, and said, "Teacher Gu, you still have to go get your things. I can do it alone."
"Don't you understand? Did I say that I had something to bring into the room because I wanted to be alone with you for a while? " Gu Qingzhou's words were simple and straightforward. He was clearly telling Jiujiu that he did not need to go get his things and that he just wanted to be alone with Jiujiu.
Gu Qingzhou stared at Jiujiu, who stood rooted to the ground helplessly because of his straightforward words. He said in a gentle voice, "Let's talk in your room. We might get photographed if we talk here."
Jiujiu also thought of that and walked towards the room.
Jiujiu opened the door with the room card while Gu Qingzhou followed closely behind. The moment the door was locked, Gu Qingzhou turned around abruptly and pinned Jiujiu against the wall.
Gu Qingzhou held Jiujiu's shoulders tightly with both hands and bent his shoulders slightly. He pressed his face against Jiujiu and said in a deep voice, "Have you thought about my pursuit of you?"
Gu Qingzhou's voice was deep and mellow like aged wine. He stared at Jiujiu with his extremely dark eyes, not allowing Jiujiu to avoid his gaze at all.
Jiujiu's face turned slightly pale at first. Then, it gradually turned red because of Gu Qingzhou's domineering attitude. In the end, even her neck had turned a light pink.
At this moment, Jiujiu was like an apple on a tree branch. As the sun shone on it, it was gradually dyed a deep shade of red.
In Gu Qingzhou's eyes, Jiujiu was like a coveted little fruit that exuded an alluring fragrance, making him want to swallow Jiujiu whole.
Jiujiu pursed her lips, which had become dry due to nervousness. She opened her mouth and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I … I don't want to date for the time being. Also, Teacher Gu, you're too nice. I'm not good enough for you."
Gu Qingzhou immediately frowned when he heard Jiujiu say that she did not want to date. When he heard Jiujiu say that she was not good enough for him, he frowned even more.
Gu Qingzhou looked into Jiujiu's eyes and said in a firm tone, "I think you're very good."
Jiujiu pursed her lips and rolled her eyes. She quickly glanced at Gu Qingzhou's face before quickly looking away. She then said in a weak voice, "I'm not good. Also, I'm scared."
"Scared?" Gu Qingzhou frowned at the thought of Jiujiu saying that she was scared of him because of his role in Blood Moon. He explained, "That was just acting. I'm not that kind of person. Don't worry."
Hearing Gu Qingzhou's explanation, Jiujiu bit her lip and said softly, "I know, but I'm not scared of that. I'm scared of your fans."
After saying that, Jiujiu immediately felt relieved. Jiujiu looked up at Gu Qingzhou and continued, "Teacher Gu, you probably don't know this, but your fans are very powerful. In the past, whenever you were involved in scandals with other female celebrities, your fans would scold them, regardless of whether the news was spread by the other party or a small news agency. Even now, your fans would still scold those female celebrities as soon as they post something on Weibo. If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll be scolded even more harshly if I get together with you."
Jiujiu took a deep breath and looked up at Gu Qingzhou as if she had mustered all the courage in her body. She said, "Teacher Gu, you're very good. It's just that you're a superstar while I'm just an ordinary person. I respect you, admire you, and even like you a little. However, that's all because you're a superstar while I'm just an ordinary person."
Jiujiu pursed her dry lips and continued, "However, if I become your girlfriend, I'll have to endure the attacks and threats from your fans. Teacher Gu, you may think that I look very cheerful, but in fact, I've always been slightly depressed. Although it's not so serious that I need to take medication to relieve my depression, I won't be able to take it if I get stressed out. So, although I fancy you, I'd rather give up on being with you if I have to endure the pressure from your fans. I'm sorry."
Jiujiu looked up at Gu Qingzhou nervously after she finished speaking.
Jiujiu's words caused a huge stir in Gu Qingzhou's heart.
Gu Qingzhou had always known that he was a superstar and that he had plenty of fans. However, he didn't know that his fans would do such things to him.
For example, it was the first time he had heard of those female celebrities who had worked with him and been involved in scandals being defamed. What surprised him even more was that the first time he liked someone and took the initiative to pursue someone, she would reject him because of this.
Gu Qingzhou looked down at Jiujiu, who was tidying up the house. He moved his lips and said, "If I tell you that I can protect you, will you be willing to be with me?"
Gu Qingzhou's answer was within Jiujiu's expectations. Jiujiu looked up at Gu Qingzhou, who was standing at the door, and sighed. "I'm sorry, I'm timid and I can't take too much pressure from the outside world. Besides, my psychiatrist told me that I have suicidal tendencies. I'm afraid that I'll commit suicide if I can't take the pressure from being with you. I like you very much, Teacher Gu, but I'm more afraid of death.
I'm sorry. "Jiujiu turned around to pick up her backpack and walked to the door. She turned to look at Gu Qingzhou and asked," Do you want to go with me? "
If Jiujiu had given him a different reason, Gu Qingzhou would definitely be able to find an excuse to refute her. However, Jiujiu said that she didn't want to die. Hence, he couldn't find any reason to refute her at all.
