Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 312: Pure-hearted Male College Student

Go to the hospital?

Lin Zhiyi’s thoughts snapped back, and she hurriedly grabbed Gong Chen, swallowing hard: "No, no, it’s nothing, we don’t need to go to the hospital, I’ll just drink some water."

Going to the hospital would be too embarrassing.

Gong Chen said nothing, just pulled her to the side bar, poured a cup of warm water, and brought it to her lips.

Lin Zhiyi paused for a moment: "I’ll do it myself."

Only then did she notice her hand had been held by him the entire time.

When she moved her hand, he tightened his grip even more.

The man slowly lifted his eyelids, his gaze meeting hers.

His eyes were passionate, scorching, even obsessive.

But after a tumult of emotions, he just stared deeply at Lin Zhiyi, then gradually released her hand.

So controlled that his fingertips were somewhat stiff.

Lin Zhiyi’s chest tightened, and she forced herself to calmly take the cup of water.

"Thank you."

"You’re really polite."

Gong Chen stepped back, leaning against the bar, his eyes slightly downcast, his voice tinged with barely discernible self-mockery.

Lin Zhiyi looked down at the cup of water, not knowing what to say.

Gong Chen took out a pack of cigarettes: "Have you chosen a school?"

"I’ve decided to go to..."

Lin Zhiyi named the school that Sang Li had chosen for her.

Besides not wanting to continue being involved with Gong Chen, she had also made a comprehensive consideration.

The school had reasonable tuition fees, and the new courses were more suitable for her future development.

Dreams are dreams, but she had to consider reality too.

She couldn’t afford several million.

"Do you like him that much?"

Gong Chen’s hand paused as he was lighting the cigarette, then ignited it, his lips holding the cigarette, a flicker of scarlet light visible through the thin smoke, his dark eyes churning with emotions Lin Zhiyi couldn’t understand.

By the time she reacted, he was already standing in front of her, his body slightly leaning towards her, his handsome features becoming clearer.

His domineering presence closed in on her step by step.

Lin Zhiyi originally wanted to explain, but seeing him like this, she felt there was no need.

He had always liked controlling her.

"You want to force me again? Is this the only thing Third Young Master knows how to do? Let me tell you, I will never regret my choice!"

The last sentence, she practically shouted out.

Her voice echoed above them, the man’s posture unchanged, his Adam’s apple moving subtly twice, his dark eyes drowning in darkness, a slight smile on his lips.

"As you wish."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi thought she had heard wrong when she was about to speak; he had already turned and walked towards the dining table.

It was as if a cold breeze had blown past in front of her, dispersing his lingering presence and the scent of tobacco, leaving not a trace.

Even though they were so close to each other, they seemed to be getting farther and farther apart. freewёbnoνel.com

Good then.

Since it’s been said, slowly becoming strangers might as well be a good ending.

Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to relax, she noticed a half-smoked cigarette rolling on the floor.

From the cross-section, it was clearly forcibly crushed.

She was somewhat in a daze.

Suddenly, she heard a thud by her ear.

Turning her head, she saw Gong Chen tossing the sandwich, along with the plate, into the trash can.

"What are you doing?" Lin Zhiyi exclaimed in astonishment.

"It’s too bad to eat."

Gong Chen had just spoken when a rumbling sound came between them...

Lin Zhiyi looked down at the man.

Gong Chen narrowed his dangerous eyes: "What are you looking at?"

Lin Zhiyi shook her head and quickly averted her gaze.

What was there to be embarrassed about?

Being hungry is only natural.

Considering he saved her yesterday, Lin Zhiyi changed her mind and said, "I’ll make something else."

"I’ve been busy with the company recently and forgot to have someone go shopping; the fridge is empty," Gong Chen explained.

"Then have Assistant Chen bring some?"

"He’s busy with something and can’t come over for the time being."

Such a coincidence?

Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen hesitantly.

He picked up the medicine left by Li Huan on the table and said in a low voice, "Take it after eating."

By now, what didn’t Lin Zhiyi understand?

"I’ll order takeout."

"There are dietary restrictions with the medication..." Gong Chen pointed at the note under the medicine box left by Li Huan.

You never know what science and hard work have been put into takeout.

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips: "I know, I know, I’ll cook."

She took out her phone and opened the grocery shopping app.

She’s usually busy with work, and by ordering her dishes ahead of time, they arrive just as she gets home, saving her the time of going out to buy groceries.

Avoiding the dishes she doesn’t like, Lin Zhiyi ordered some food and incidentally bought some stock for Gong Chen.

When she saw the delivery fee, she gasped.

Luxury communities truly charge a premium for everything.

The delivery fee alone was double what she usually paid.

Oh well, consider it returning a favor. Thinking this way, she felt like she was getting the better deal.

After a while, the video doorbell connected to the downstairs entrance rang.

At that moment, Lin Zhiyi was in the kitchen washing the plates that Gong Chen had just discarded.

She checked the price, over a thousand each!

He didn’t want them, but she could take them.

With such expensive plates, wouldn’t everything taste better?

Except sandwiches.

She rinsed off the foam on the plates and without looking up called out, "Third Young Master, please open the door downstairs, it should be the food delivery."

"Mhm."

Gong Chen leaned against the kitchen door, taking his time before he shifted his gaze and went to open the door.

Lin Zhiyi was pinching a plate when she suddenly remembered something.

She put the plate down, not even having time to wipe her hands before rushing out of the kitchen.

"Stop! I’ll open the door myself!"

But she was still a step too late.

Gong Chen had already pressed the video doorbell, and the delivery person’s magnified face appeared on the screen.

He looked at the name on the order and shouted, "Is this the Pure-Hearted College Boy?"

That voice echoed in the spacious foyer for a long time.

Pure-Hearted College Boy...

Pure-hearted...

Gong Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Zhiyi with a teasing smile.

Lin Zhiyi held her forehead, wishing she could reach through the video doorbell and cover the delivery person’s mouth.

It was because of the incident where she was eyed by the delivery person last time, that she specifically learned from the internet.

She chose a name that sounded like a flirtatious college boy, then asked Zhou Zhao for a six-pack abs photo.

The whole point was to make people think that a man lived in her house.

She just forgot to tell Zhou Zhao what screen name she had chosen.

The delivery person didn’t hear a response and shouted again: "Hey? Are you the Pure-Hearted College Boy or not?"

Lin Zhiyi was about to answer.

Gong Chen replied in a deep voice: "Yes."

The delivery person was clearly taken aback upon hearing the voice, spending quite a while peering through the camera before coming back to his senses and responding.

Soon the food was placed in the elevator and sent straight up.

Gong Chen picked up the food and walked over to Lin Zhiyi.

"Pure-Hearted College Boy, where should I put the food?"

"Don’t shout!" Lin Zhiyi said more and more guiltily, explaining, "I, I had my reasons."

"Does Zhou Zhao know you’re tarnishing his reputation out there?" Gong Chen chuckled softly.

"How did you know?" Lin Zhiyi exclaimed in surprise.

"When hanging up the phone, the delivery person specifically opened the photo to take a look, probably to confirm whether my voice matched the Pure-Hearted College Boy in the profile picture."

"How do you resemble a Pure-Hearted College Boy?" Lin Zhiyi muttered, stealing a glance at Gong Chen’s face, then at his build.

"Hmm?"

Gong Chen prolonged the tone.

Feeling flushed, Lin Zhiyi snatched the food and ran back into the kitchen.

Gong Chen’s relaxed voice came from behind her.

"Don’t poison me."

I’ll add half a bag of salt then, so you choke on it.

Regaining her composure back in the kitchen, Lin Zhiyi started to prepare breakfast.

While washing vegetables, her hair fell forward whenever she bent over, which was quite uncomfortable.

When for the nth time she tossed her hair back, a restrained voice came from behind her.

"Let me do it."

The man lightly brushed past her neck with deliberate slowness, his long fingers weaving through her hair, gathering the strands in his palm.

Without even turning around, Lin Zhiyi could feel his presence as he drew near.

"No need, just find me a hair tie, please."

Keeping her head down as she washed the vegetables, she tried to maintain a calm tone, as if talking about something very ordinary.

Sang Ran must have stayed here, she probably has hair ties.

"I don’t have any."

His breath, heavy and warm, sprayed on the back of Lin Zhiyi’s neck, as if telling her something.

She gripped the vegetables tighter, randomly breaking them into pieces.

Conflicting emotions churned inside her heart, the more she tried to suppress them, the more turbulent they became.

But reason still held sway, so she pretended to chop vegetables, increasing the distance between them.

"What are you two doing!"

A questioning voice came from the kitchen doorway.
