A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1464 Gu Xiaojiao: I have body odor and dentures! (Please subscribe!)

The next day was the weekend, so the two ate dinner very late, drinking three bottles of red wine. In the end, Gu Xiaojiao, who was quite drunk, even showed Hua Shier the dance she had learned when she was a child.

Hua Shier simply couldn't believe this was a child's dance; children's dances are never this flamboyant!
The next day, the blazing sunlight of 2018 shone through the window onto Gu Xiaojiao's face. Her eyelids twitched, but she still didn't wake up until her alarm rang, which made her struggle to open her eyes.

The headache from the hangover made Gu Xiaojiao feel a little dazed. Suddenly, she sensed something was wrong, and her confused eyes quickly cleared, followed by a sharp contraction in her pupils.

At this moment, she was lying in Hua Shier's arms, dressed in light clothing, with her head resting on his well-defined shoulder, her right arm around him, and even pressing her hand on his sculpted eight-pack abs.

Looking at Hua Shier's well-defined muscles, which resembled works of art, Gu Xiaojiao felt as if the air she was breathing was filled with a strong scent of male hormones.

The curtain that should have been between the two of them had been thrown away somewhere.

At this moment, the phone alarm was still ringing. Hua Shier was also woken up by the alarm and opened his eyes. Their eyes met, and something called 'awkwardness' quickly spread in the air.

Gu Xiaojiao screamed "Ah!" and quickly sat up in bed. First, she found her damn phone, turned off the alarm, and then reached under her pillow to pull out a screwdriver, pointing it at Hua Shier:
"You bastard, what did you do to me?"

Hua Shier stared at the screwdriver, speechless for a moment:
"Why have you changed your weapon again? Are you sure you sell jewelry and not a hardware store salesperson?"

He said this as he got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Seeing him like this made Gu Xiaojiao even angrier, and she yelled towards the bathroom:

Don't you want to say anything?

The sound of someone brushing their teeth could be heard coming from the bathroom:

"Say something? Say you were drunk and acting crazy? Say you stripped down to your bare waist and clung to me? Or say your striptease was really good?"

As Hua Shier recounted his story, the scenes from his drunken night also surfaced in Gu Xiaojiao's mind.

Yes, everything happened because she was drunk, including the curtain that was removed and the clothes scattered around.

Moreover, the sight of her dancing in revealing clothing made her feel deeply ashamed, and she was so embarrassed that she almost dug a hole in the bed with her toes.

With a flushed face, she shouted loudly towards the bathroom, "You bastard, that's not a striptease, that's a dance I learned in an after-school class when I was little called 'Little Tadpoles Looking for Their Mother'!"

Hua Shier's voice came again:

"No driving first thing in the morning!"

Gu Xiaojiao first looked confused, then, as if she had just realized something, her face turned even redder.
"You idiot!"

When Hua Shier finished washing up and came out, he saw Gu Xiaojiao already dressed and brushing past him before hurriedly entering the shared bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, she had put on light makeup, picked up her bag, and was about to leave.

Hua Shier was somewhat surprised: "You're not trying to run away because you're embarrassed, are you? I remember you said yesterday that you had the day off today!"

Gu Xiaojiao glared at him, annoyed.
"I'm going on a blind date today, so I hope I succeed. Then I can move into my big house and you can live here by yourself!"

She said her hand was already on the doorknob, and she was about to push the door open and go out.

Hua Shier suddenly said, "Now that you've met your parents from '88, is that villa still important to you? Can't you skip the blind date?"

Gu Xiaojiao paused for a second, then said without turning her head:

"You're crazy, are you still going to say you'll support me? Be mature, stop using movie lines, okay?"

As she spoke, she pushed open the door and walked out.

Hua Shier raised his eyebrows. He knew that Gu Xiaojiao had gone to trick people into buying villas. He found it amusing. He knew that Gu Xiaojiao was destined to fail. After all, who would spend 20 million to buy a villa for a 30-year-old woman and then put the woman's name on it?

This kind of blind date sounds like a scam.

Sure enough, when Gu Xiaojiao returned that evening, there was no surprise on her face, nor was there any disappointment, after all, she was already used to this kind of failure.

Hua Shier deliberately asked, "How did the blind date go? Did it go well?"

Gu Xiaojiao didn't expect Hua Shier to ask her about blind dates. She first exclaimed "Ah!" and then quickly organized her thoughts:

"Oh my god, you have no idea how annoying that guy was. The moment he saw me, he was captivated by my looks. He bought the house worth over 20 million without hesitation, and even pulled out his black card to swipe it on the spot!"

Upon seeing her exaggerated expression and words, Hua Shier knew that this girl was talking nonsense, and suppressed a laugh as he said:

"Then I congratulate you! Don't forget to let me know when you get married, and I'll give you a big red envelope!"

Gu Xiaojiao came over and kicked her, saying with some dissatisfaction, "Do you really want me to get married?"

"I just wanted your wishes to come true, didn't I?"

"What do you mean, 'accept'? I didn't agree. Although that man is rich, generous, and infatuated with me, I didn't like him. His looks are too average, his age isn't right, and most importantly, we don't have anything in common. I rejected him outright. You didn't see it, he cried so loudly, it was like the world was ending. He's a grown man, and he was crying so hard I felt embarrassed."

Gu Xiaojiao paused mid-sentence, noticing Hua Shier's pursed lips, and raised an eyebrow, asking:

"What I'm saying is the absolute truth, why don't you believe me?"

Hua Shier nodded repeatedly: "I believe you, I truly believe you!"

Then he took out his phone and pretended to dial a number: "Hello, 110? I need to call the police. There's someone bragging here!"

After saying that, he suppressed a laugh and said to Gu Xiaojiao, "You'd better run away quickly, Uncle Hat is coming to get you!"

"Ah, this princess will fight you to the death!"

Enraged, Gu Xiao threw the bag at Hua Shier, then leaped forward, only to be pinned down by Hua Shier in no time.

She felt her breathing quicken, her face flushed, and she asked weakly, "What are you going to do?"

Hua Shier raised an eyebrow: "Is this considered an invitation?"

"What invitation?"

Gu Xiaojiao was initially confused, but then quickly realized what was happening and screamed in shame and anger, "Let me go, you bastard!"

Hua Shier quickly let go of her and ran away, only to be chased and beaten by her in a fit of shame and anger.

After they'd had their fun, the two leaned back on the sofa. Gu Xiaojiao, panting heavily, said:
"Twelve, do you know, that house is my dream, a dream I can never let go of in this lifetime. Although I have met my parents when they were young, they don't belong to me, but to that one-year-old Gu Xiaojiao."

Hua Twelve waved his hand and said:

"That's enough, stop explaining and stop getting emotional. You're just getting stuck in a rut. In layman's terms, it's obsession. In religion, it's called a fixation or inner demon. If you don't achieve your goal, you might never get out of this mess in your life. I understand!"

Gu Xiaojiao was stunned. She had so much to say to Hua Shier, but one sentence from him had rendered her speechless. She gave him a light punch in annoyance.
"How can you be so annoying? No girl will like you like that!"

Hua Shier shrugged:

"You're blind! I'm so handsome, and I'm considered rich around here. I can afford a small villa. How could I not have girls who like me!"

Gu Xiaojiao turned around abruptly, her gaze intense: "Can you afford a house worth 20.03 million?"

Hua Shier deliberately teased her, thinking for a moment before saying seriously:
"It's just a house worth a little over 20 million. I only need a little over 18 million more."

Gu Xiaojiao, however, didn't seem to care, as if she had known this all along. She chuckled.

"You're the most annoying person ever, you're never serious. Okay, let's order some food. How about that Haidilao hotpot from last time? I promised to treat you!"

As she spoke, she turned her head, picked up her phone, and started operating it, trying not to let Hua Shier see the hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Xiaojiao has once again set up a blind date on the 'Love You Forever' forum.

During her week off, she arranged a time and place to meet. She got up early in the morning without waking Hua Shier, put on light makeup, got ready, and hurriedly left.

Hua Shier got up as soon as she left. Looking at the still steaming breakfast on the table, she smiled and said:
"This girl still has some conscience!" 2018, Shanghai real estate agency.

Gu Xiaojiao strode into the floor where the real estate agency was located. Her gaze swept across the room and landed on a young man wearing glasses behind a workstation. When he saw her, he immediately lowered his head and pretended to be very busy.

Gu Xiaojiao walked over quickly and said with a smile:

"Little Ma, I'm here again. Has that guy arrived yet?"

Little Ma looked up: "Sister, please let me go, okay?"

Gu Xiaojiao didn't care about the other person's attitude at all, and pointed at him, saying:

"With your face shape, you need to smile more, you know? Otherwise, your face will get even longer!"

Xiao Ma said with a wry smile, "We're a matchmaking agency, not a dating service. If you come here for another blind date, I'll be fired soon!"

Gu Xiaojiao took out a piece of chocolate and handed it over:

"It's imported, and it tastes delicious. Look how good I am to you, how can you say something like that!"

Little Ma was speechless. He took the chocolate, opened it, and took a bite.
"Hmm, it tastes pretty good!"

Gu Xiaojiao checked the time: "They're still not here? What kind of attitude is this? They can't even be punctual!"

Just then, the phone on Xiao Ma's desk rang. He quickly put down the chocolate and answered the phone:
"This is XX Real Estate Agency!"

After a few words were exchanged on the other end of the phone, Xiao Ma hung up and looked at Gu Xiaojiao with a strange expression.
"Was that your blind date calling?"

Gu Xiaojiao was somewhat disappointed: "Aren't you coming?"

"No, that's not it. He said he knows your criteria for a blind date. He said he booked a presidential suite at a five-star hotel and told us to bring our documents and go directly to him!"

After hearing what Xiao Ma said, Gu Xiaojiao immediately stood up: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! I remember you have a car, right!"

Xiao Ma picked up the documents and followed her out of the company, asking with some concern, "A hotel? Aren't you afraid he'll try something bad on you?"

Gu Xiaojiao hesitated for a moment, then said:

"As long as he buys a house, I've decided to marry him. What could he possibly want? But if he doesn't buy a house and just wants to take advantage of my beauty, then I'll show him why flowers are so red!"

The presidential suite of a certain hotel has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Huangpu River and the Oriental Pearl Tower in the distance.

After the two were led in by the suite's butler, who politely withdrew, Xiao Ma called out:

"Mr. Xiang? Are you there?"

Then they heard someone say from an open room, "I'm here, come in!"

Xiao Ma and Gu Xiaojiao exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit strange. They cautiously entered the room, which was completely dark, with blackout curtains blocking the windows and no lights on.

The two could only see a figure sitting in a chair at the very back through the light from the doorway, but they couldn't make out the person's face.

Gu Xiaojiao tentatively asked, "Mr. Xiang?"

"It's me. I'm sorry I can't greet you in person. I have a strange illness that prevents me from being exposed to light. Please close the door after you come in!"

The two were somewhat conflicted, and Xiao Ma even hesitated a bit, but Gu Xiaojiao still pulled him into the room and closed the door.

"It's too dark, we can't see. Can we turn on the light?"

Snapped!
With a crisp click of the switch, the door light turned on, shining only on the two people; the face of the person sitting in the chair was still unclear.

"Miss Gu, right? I'm Xiang Pengfei, the person you were introduced to for a blind date through the 'Love You Forever' forum!"

Gu Xiaojiao felt a pang of regret; she sensed this person was seriously ill, but she composed herself and introduced him:
"I am Gu Xiaojiao, Mr. Xiang. You know my conditions, right? A villa built in 1993, priced at 20.03 million RMB. We can get married if you buy the house. Of course, if you don't agree, that's fine too. We'll take our leave now!"

She didn't believe anyone could agree to this condition, so after giving a formulaic explanation, she grabbed Xiao Ma and tried to leave this awful place.

But the next moment, they heard 'Mr. Xiang' say:
"I agree!"

Gu Xiaojiao didn't even listen to what the other person was saying, and replied casually, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm used to it."

Xiao Ma stopped abruptly, grabbed Gu Xiaojiao who was about to leave, and exclaimed with delight, "Sister, he agreed! Mr. Xiang agreed!"

"what?"

Gu Xiaojiao couldn't believe her ears and turned to look at the figure: "What did you say? You agreed?"

The person on the other end said with absolute certainty, "Yes, twenty million three hundred thousand, no problem!"

"No, more than 20 million?"

After the initial shock, Gu Xiaojiao became wary:
"I want to buy the house outright, not the kind where you offer 20 million and I have to contribute 30,000!"

The figure opposite chuckled softly: "No problem, I can pay in full at once, and I'll write your name on it, and only your name."

As Gu Xiaojiao's dream, which she had cherished since she was twelve, was about to come true, her heart was filled with mixed emotions, but she felt little joy.

She hesitated, then said, "Don't you want to think about it again?"

"Don't even think about it. Twenty million is nothing to me. What's there to think about? You'll get even more after you marry me!"

Little Horse danced with joy on the sidelines:

"Sis, what else is there to say? All you want is to buy that house!"

Gu Xiaojiao hesitated and said, "Why don't you think about it again? I'm already thirty years old."

The figure opposite said, "I like women in their thirties. They have charm, but aren't too mature. That's just right!"

Gu Xiaojiao: "I'm actually not that good-looking. My skin is quite dark, and this face is all made up!"

"Which woman doesn't wear makeup? When we're on our wedding night, you can just leave your makeup on, that's all."

"."

Gu Xiaojiao: "I've had boyfriends before, no, this isn't my first time."

"In today's society, if you want to have your virginity, the only way is to break the law and commit crimes. At your age, I can understand and accept that!"

"I have body odor!"

"I happen to have rhinitis?"

"I have dentures!"

"That would be perfect, at least it won't hurt me!"

Gu Xiaojiao:
Xiao Ma: I suspect you two are making a suggestive joke.

Mr. Xiang seemed to hear their unspoken thoughts: "I don't have a driver's license!"

Gu Xiaojiao and Xiao Ma:
The voice on the other end spoke again: "I'll call my lawyer now, and the paperwork can be done today. The house can be transferred to Ms. Gu today. It's settled."

Gu Xiaojiao's heart fluttered, then she took two deep breaths: "Mr. Xiang, I might not be entirely ready."

The figure opposite laughed and said, "I'll give you time. The house will be transferred first, and we'll get married whenever you're ready!"
