Chapter 58 Professor Gu, may I ask you for a kiss?
Li Xi suddenly rubbed his ears.
Gu Zhen leaned closer and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Li Xi said, "That saxophone sound was so shrill, like a whistle, it gave me the creeps."
As she spoke, Li Xi hesitated, "Professor Gu, shall we leave early?"
Remembering that Li Xi had a fear of whistling, Gu Zhenxu grasped Li Xi's wrist and said without hesitation, "Come with me."
Seeing that Li Xi didn't shake him off, Gu Zhen then took her hand, and the two of them hunched over and left early.
Du Yusheng kept a close eye on the movements of the two young men behind him.
As soon as the two of them left, Du Yusheng leaned forward and reported to Gu Wentao in front of him: "Miss Li Xi and the others left ahead of time."
Gu Wentao's expression was complicated. He asked Du Yusheng, "How long has the concert been going on?"
"Thirty-five minutes have passed."
"It's been so long..."
Gu Wentao suddenly laughed, "Yusheng, do you remember when was the last time he stayed in public for this long?"
Why doesn't Du Yusheng remember?
"That was twelve years ago, on the day of my junior high school graduation ceremony."
Gu Wentao gestured with his lip and pointed to the stage, "Listen quietly."
Du Yusheng nodded repeatedly.
He was quiet, his eyes fixed on the performance on stage, but his mind was elsewhere.
*
After leaving the concert hall, Gu Zhen did not take Li Xi away directly.
He led Li Xi backstage and bought nine roses from a little girl selling flowers, intending to give them to the band members today.
The orchestra had exactly nine musicians, and each of them received a bouquet of roses.
Gu Zhen asked the little girl to help him simply arrange the bouquet, while he asked a staff member for paper and pen to write a message.
[The performance was wonderful, but unfortunately we had urgent business to attend to and had to leave early. We look forward to hearing you perform on a bigger stage next time.]
Li Xi watched him quietly as he did all this.
She felt terrible.
She was about to fall for him.
Gu Zhen handed the bouquet and card to the staff, saying, "Please give the flowers and card to them after the orchestra finishes their performance."
The staff member who received them was actually a professor of orchestral music at Dongzhou Conservatory of Music, surnamed Su, who was also the teacher of these university student performers today.
Professor Su was deeply moved when he saw the message on the card.
This was just an ordinary charity performance.
But this was the first time these young children had stepped onto such a big stage.
Every audience member who leaves early will damage their confidence.
But Gu Zhen's approach was truly inspiring for the children.
Teacher Su sincerely thanked Gu Zhen. "Sir, your affirmation and encouragement will help our students go further and more firmly on this path."
"Thank you both."
"You're welcome, we were the ones who were rude." After putting the charity donation into the donation box, the two left the concert hall.
On the way to the parking lot, Li Xi kept watching Gu Zhen silently.
"Why are you staring at me?" Gu Zhen was a good young man who would ask questions if he didn't understand.
Li Xi suddenly took a big step and walked in front of Gu Zhen.
Pointing to the magnificent sunset in the western sky, Li Xi looked up and said with a smile, "The sun is about to set; it's evening now."
"Professor Gu, may I ask you for a kiss?"
Gu Zhen twitched his eyelids.
Her jet-black eyelashes, like wings, trembled and cast a shadow under her eyes.
"of course."
With Gu Zhen's permission, Li Xi raised her arm and wrapped it around the back of Gu Zhen's head, loosely hugging his neck through his sweater.
Gu Zhen lowered his head subconsciously.
Li Xi then tilted her head back and kissed Gu Zhen's forehead.
If you kiss your date on the first date, people will criticize you for being unreserved.
But reserved people often don't understand their partners.
After kissing Gu Zhen's forehead, Li Xi wanted to kiss Gu Zhen's lips, but she was afraid that being too passionate would scare Gu Zhen, so she restrained herself.
Depend on!
She absolutely has to bring this amazing man home to be the father of Jiuqian and Zhaocai!
Li Xi reluctantly let go of Gu Zhen, pointing to his forehead and saying, "It looks like there's a lipstick mark."
Back in the car, Li Xi used a wet wipe to clean Gu Zhen's forehead. While wiping him, she couldn't help but steal glances at his handsome face so close to hers.
Fearing she might lose control of her animalistic desires, she used a seatbelt to restrain Professor Gu and force him to cooperate with having sex in the car.
After wiping away the lipstick marks, Li Xi quickly sat back down in her seat.
"Okay, let's go."
Gu Zhen hummed in agreement and calmly drove off.
But as the car was leaving the parking lot exit, Gu Zhen suddenly made a left turn and drove onto the road in the wrong direction.
The black car approaching from the opposite direction saw Gu Zhen's car and cursed in fright.
The driver slammed on the brakes while honking the horn furiously at Gu Zhen's electric car.
Fortunately, neither of them was driving fast and they managed to brake in time, avoiding a collision.
The driver rolled down the window, leaned out, and yelled at Gu Zhen, "Did you forget your brain?! You look decent enough, how come you're an idiot?"
"If you're a road menace, don't drive! Driving against traffic is asking for death!"
Li Xi quickly grabbed Gu Zhen's arm, afraid that he would start arguing back.
After all, they were the ones who made the mistake.
But Gu Zhen, who was called an idiot, was not angry at all. Instead, he took a pack of "Supreme 95" cigarettes from the glove box.
He took a cigarette and walked up to the cursing driver, then politely apologized and made amends.
He then carefully inquired, "Do you have a baby in your car? Would you like to go to the hospital for a full check-up? After all, I was distracted and took the wrong lane, which caused you to brake suddenly just now."
driver:"..."
He had never seen such a well-mannered young man as Gu Zhen, and he was even embarrassed to scold Gu Zhen.
"Young man, I won't say anything to you since you've been so polite." The driver took the pack of cigarettes and said, "It's alright, let's go."
Gu Zhen then got into the car and immediately reversed it to the parking lot exit.
After the man and the cars following him had all driven away, he took a deep breath, carefully turned on his right turn signal, and drove Li Xi into the traffic.
"Pfft!" Li Xi could no longer control herself and burst into wild laughter.
Gu Zhen also laughed.
"Sorry, it's our first kiss, I'm a little excited." Gu Zhen's excitement was like a dark sea, seemingly calm on the surface, but actually turbulent.
He was so good at controlling his facial expressions that Li Xi didn't even realize he was excited.
It wasn't until she saw Gu Zhen going against the flow that she realized the people around her had actually been completely disoriented. "But we can't do this again, it's too dangerous."
Gu Zhen nodded in agreement. "I'll be more careful next time."
Both of them mentioned 'later', which means they are both very satisfied with each other.
That evening, they went out for Xinjiang cuisine; this time, it was Li Xi who invited Gu Zhen.
After dinner, Gu Zhen suggested going to see a movie, but Li Xi refused outright.
"You don't need to worry about me." Gu Zhen had already realized that Li Xi's excuse to leave the concert hall was not because she was afraid of the saxophone, but because she was worried about him.
Gu Zhen told Li Xi, "I booked a private VIP room, the kind that's just for the two of us."
Li Xi almost forgot that the movie-going experience for rich people is different from that for poor people.
"That's fine."
