Chapter 62

"Still not getting up? How long do you plan to lie there?" Gu Wen originally wanted to let Lin Rui wake up, get dressed, and avoid the awkwardness, but didn't expect Ding Hao to be awake and still not move. She didn't know what he was up to, and after a few movements, he still didn't get up. She couldn't bear the pressure of being pinned down and had to remind him.

"Oh..." Ding Hao quickly rolled over and got ready to find his clothes.

While dressing, Ding Hao was thinking about how to face Gu Wen. Xia Lin had left, and he felt very disappointed. But he never expected that because of drinking too much, he ended up with Gu Wen. As a man, if Gu Wen insisted that he take responsibility, Ding Hao felt it was reasonable.

But if he were to be with Gu Wen, what about Xia Lin? Ding Hao felt he liked Xia Lin. Although Xia Lin left without a word, he still hoped to find her. Although Gu Wen was also beautiful and open, this kind of feeling was hard to explain. If Gu Wen insisted that he take responsibility, what about Xia Lin?

But on the other hand, it was Gu Wen who turned him from a boy into a man, and she even sacrificed her virginity to comfort him. He couldn't just brush her off. For now, he could only try to comfort Gu Wen and deal with the rest step by step.

"Hey..." Thinking about how proactive Gu Wen had been before, and now she was silent, Ding Hao felt uneasy. He nudged Gu Wen with his arm.

"What?" Gu Wen was also distracted. But Ding Hao was Xia Lin's boyfriend, and although they were far apart, who knew what they were thinking...

"What time is it?"

"I don't know." Gu Wen saw Ding Hao's nervous expression and tried to hold back her laughter, pretending to be angry.

"I'm sorry, I drank too much last night..."

"What do you want to say?"

"Um..." Ding Hao's face turned red. He originally thought Gu Wen would cry and make a fuss, or hit him and demand responsibility. If that happened, his guilt might be less. But now, seeing Gu Wen quietly sitting on the bed, he became even more nervous!

"Ha!" Gu Wen finally couldn't hold back. The current Ding Hao looked like a thief caught in the act, not daring to look at her. The more he acted like this, the more she found him cute!

When Gu Wen smiled, Ding Hao finally mustered the courage to look at her. He knew some things had to be faced, and the smile on Gu Wen's face was the most beautiful he had ever seen. What a good girl, still trying to ease the awkwardness for him!

"Alright, last night, you said nothing happened!" Gu Wen knew Ding Hao was overthinking and didn't want to tease him anymore, so she got out of bed and patted his shoulder.

"What? Are you serious? How can that be?"

"Hey, you bastard, what's that look on your face? Are you relieved? Regretful? Do you think I'm unwanted?" Gu Wen might have misunderstood Ding Hao, and her fists started pounding his chest.

No matter what happened, as long as Gu Wen was willing, Ding Hao wouldn't dodge even if she punched a hole in his chest. But last night, he had clearly taken off her underwear and climbed on top of her... Could it be that she was afraid he would take responsibility? How could she be so silly?

"..." After Gu Wen finished hitting him, the two stared at each other for about ten seconds. Finally, Gu Wen blushed and walked away. Ding Hao followed her, and they sat down on the sofa.

"Gu Wen..." Ding Hao hesitated.

"Alright, really, nothing happened."

"Oh, you weren't drunk, right?" From the initial worry to now, Ding Hao felt a bit of disappointment. From Gu Wen's expression, it seemed she had pulled back at the last moment, just like he did during the New Year.

Now Ding Hao finally understood what Gu Wen meant when she said "I hate you" that time. "I hate you, you beast!" Last night, Gu Wen was clearly awake, and at the critical moment, she hesitated, which showed she was unwilling...

"Do you know how much of a bastard you are?"

"Did I hurt you?" Ding Hao was eager to know what happened, and since Gu Wen was willing to talk, he was willing to listen.

"No."

"Then why?"

"Because you're a bastard!" When Ding Hao asked why, Gu Wen suddenly got angry. In fact, last night, she had so much desire to be with Ding Hao, but Ding Hao was such a bastard!

"..." Ding Hao didn't know what he had done wrong and didn't dare to ask further. He leaned back on the sofa, spreading his arms to signal Gu Wen to come closer.

Seeing Ding Hao's gentle gesture, Gu Wen obediently sat next to him. Ding Hao casually but firmly extended his right hand, and Gu Wen leaned half of her body into his arms. Perhaps this was a kind of默契 (mòqì,默契 means "understanding" or "tacit agreement"). In the past, Gu Wen wouldn't dare to do this, even a slightly bold move would require checking Ding Hao's expression first.

The unfinished battle completely changed their relationship. The two of them cuddled on the sofa and watched TV. After a long time, Gu Wen finally gathered the courage to look up at Ding Hao and say, "I'm sorry, I..."

"You silly girl, I should be the one to say sorry..." Ding Hao hugged the girl in his arms tighter.

"I was willing! But... you kept calling Xia Lin's name, I couldn't bear it." Gu Wen liked the way Ding Hao called her, it was unique to her. Sometimes being a bit silly had its benefits, and "I was willing" naturally referred to the battle just now!

The reason the battle was stopped was because Gu Wen pulled out, and the reason was that Ding Hao was calling Xia Lin's name! Ding Hao finally understood the whole story. This was indeed a bastardly act, especially from a girl's perspective.

Gu Wen wiped her eyes and continued, "Don't worry, I don't need you to take responsibility, and I won't ruin your relationship with Xia Lin!"

"You're really a fool. Who said you would ruin our relationship? I don't know if Xia Lin and I have a future. Let's talk about something else. How are your grades? The college entrance exam is coming up, do you have confidence?"

"I don't know..." Gu Wen was feeling very confused. Ding Hao changed the topic too quickly. She had already said she didn't need him to take responsibility, so what was he worried about?

"That won't do. Do you have any problems? We have a few days left, I can help you."

"Okay! But you can't drink anymore!" Whether there were real problems or not, being with Ding Hao for even a short two or three days made Gu Wen feel very happy.

That night, Gu Wen stayed at Ding Hao's place, and they even slept together. But neither of them made any further moves. One, the previous battle was too awkward, and Gu Wen was still conflicted about whether she had done the right thing. Ding Hao's situation was a bit better, but considering the upcoming college entrance exam, he couldn't let Gu Wen get distracted.

The morning sun shone in, and the two finally woke up groggily. From their expressions, it was clear they had slept well. Especially Gu Wen, her face was still rosy, and she quickly sat up on the bed when she saw Ding Hao move.

Ding Hao stretched and sat up, leaning against Gu Wen.

"Ding Hao, I don't want to apply to Beijing Normal University." Gu Wen hugged her legs in front of her and said to Ding Hao. In fact, since she knew Ding Hao was applying to Zhejiang University, she no longer wanted to apply to Beijing Normal University. She wanted to be closer to Ding Hao, even if she couldn't get into Zhejiang University, being in Qianjiang would be fine.

"Then don't apply. Haven't you filled out the application yet?"

"But my parents say the family is a bit tight, and teacher training programs can save on tuition."

"I'll pay for your college."

"That's not what I mean!" Gu Wen was anxious, afraid that Ding Hao would misunderstand her as a materialistic girl. After what happened last night, she didn't want to ask for money. She just wanted to be closer to Ding Hao, but the family's situation was also a fact.

"I know, I know. I have money now. No matter where you apply, I'll pay the tuition. But you shouldn't be concerned about this. You should focus on systematic review to do well on the exam. Only by doing well will you have more choices."

The current Ding Hao had hundreds of gold bars and over a hundred kilograms of high-quality crystal in his backpack. Even without these, the money given by Liu Yiding and Bai Hu was enough to last for a while. No matter how their relationship developed, at least she was the first woman he had been intimate with, and he wouldn't be stingy with the money for school.

"Okay!" Gu Wen nodded obediently, then suddenly remembered something, "How did you suddenly have money? Renting this place isn't cheap, and your phone, and why was Director Yang so afraid of you that day..."

"No more wild thoughts. After the college entrance exam, you can ask me anything for three days and three nights. But now, Gu Wen, it's time to get up and study."

"Understood!" Gu Wen smiled and stopped asking questions, getting up to get her books.

Over the next two days, to avoid affecting Gu Wen's review, Ding Hao tried not to think about Xia Lin and acted very happy in front of her. Gu Wen was extremely happy, thinking about secretly applying to a university in the same city as Ding Hao after the exam, and she often smiled to herself.

Of course, Ding Hao also helped Gu Wen with some academic problems, but with such a short time, it was impossible for her to improve significantly.

But that didn't matter. What mattered was that Ding Hao had returned to take the exam, and the head teacher, Huang Rongwu, was very happy. Now that Xia Lin had gone abroad, he was counting on Ding Hao to excel. Ding Hao naturally didn't need to review much, and whether he excelled or not wasn't very important to him.

In fact, the current Ding Hao didn't really need to go to college. He knew his own intelligence. He could buy some books from the bookstore to enrich himself, continue leveling up, and didn't need to work for money. Of course, to avoid being seen as a freak, Ding Hao tried to blend in with the locals!

After the college entrance exam, Ding Hao took Gu Wen out for a big meal, left her 50,000 yuan for tuition and to buy some daily necessities, and prepared to return to Qianjiang. Despite her reluctance, Gu Wen was relieved knowing she would see Ding Hao soon. She loved Ding Hao but hoped he could forget Xia Lin and start anew with her.
