Chapter 2: Kick out the white moonlight, the Best Actor is mine! -2
The morning sunlight streamed through the window curtains, casting a gentle glow on the man's face; everything was so peaceful and serene.
After a night of indulgence, Gu Zhishen felt refreshed and invigorated when he woke up in the morning. He hadn't felt this way in 25 years. He reached out and touched the person next to him, but found only coldness.
He sat up, the silk quilt slipping down to his waist, revealing his strong waist and clearly defined eight-pack abs. His gaze fell on a red bloodstain on the empty spot on the right side of the sheet. His eyes darkened, ignoring the pang of heartache in his heart. The wrinkled sheet testified to his frenzied and valiant actions the night before.
She was just a stand-in, so what if I slept with her? After a quick wash, I went downstairs in a gray casual outfit.
A busy figure in the kitchen captivated him. Mu Wanwan, dressed in cartoon pajamas and wearing a pink apron, was busy in the kitchen, sometimes stirring the porridge in the pot with a spoon, and sometimes chopping vegetables. The sound of the knife hitting the cutting board made a rhythmic chopping sound.
This is a detached villa, not large but exquisite, with a simple European style. The previously lifeless house was instantly filled with a warm and inviting atmosphere, giving him the illusion of home.
"Master, Gu Zhishen's favorability has increased by 5 points, and his current favorability is -5 points."
Mu Wanwan, who was chopping vegetables, paused for a moment. "How come it's only -5?"
She was completely baffled. The pig leaned against the pot, smelling the fragrant millet porridge. "Master, the initial value was -10. I just gained 5 points of favorability. Now it's -5. Please keep up the good work!"
"What the heck? Starting with negative values? Piggy, how could you be so unfair?"
Piggy waved his hand, indicating, "That's how the system was initially set up; it has nothing to do with me!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Mu Wanwan continued chopping vegetables. "Accidentally," she cut her finger. As the saying goes, the index finger is connected to the heart, and the pain in her fingertip instantly spread throughout her body. She squatted down in pain and put her left index finger in her mouth to suck on it.
The sound of the cleaver being placed on the cutting board startled him, who was watching her cook. Gu Zhishen took a long stride and arrived at her side in a few steps.
"what happened?"
A deep, sexy voice came from above her head. Mu Wanwan was startled and, while looking up, she hid her hands behind her back, stammering, "Mr. Gu, I, I'm fine!"
Gu Zhishen seemed to see right into Mu Wanwan's heart; she hadn't been able to see his face clearly in the darkness last night.
Her angular face was framed by a pair of deep, gray-brown eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips... No wonder she was a movie star; even in her previous world, this face would have been absolutely alluring.
Mu Wanwan told herself not to be fooled by his appearance; he was a movie star, and the person he loved at the moment was Mo Ziting.
Gu Zhishen pulled her up from the ground and then examined her hands without saying a word. Blood was still dripping from the back of her left index finger, leaving bloody plum blossoms on the white floor tiles. The wound looked particularly gruesome.
Without saying a word, he pulled Mu Wanwan towards the living room. Mu Wanwan backed away, biting her lip and shrinking her neck, saying tremblingly, "Porridge!"
Gu Zhishen stopped and reached out to turn off the fire that was cooking the porridge.
"Don't be afraid."
Gu Zhishen sensed her hesitation and spoke softly, his tone gentle.
Mu Wanwan relaxed slightly, but was still a little scared.
Gu Zhishen pulled her to sit on the sofa, took out a first-aid kit from the drawer, opened it, and took out iodine and gauze.
He gently took Mu Wanwan's hand, first disinfected it with iodine, and then carefully bandaged the wound with gauze.
Throughout the process, his movements were very light and gentle, which made Mu Wanwan feel a kind of inexplicable warmth.
"All right."
After Gu Zhishen finished bandaging her, he looked up at Mu Wanwan.
"From now on, leave the cooking to the servants. You're too clumsy to cook; you'll only hurt yourself."
Mu Wanwan lowered her head like a schoolchild who had made a mistake, her voice soft and aggrieved as she retorted, "I know your stomach isn't good, and you drank so much last night. I... I just wanted to make you a stomach-friendly breakfast..."
Her voice grew softer and softer until it turned into sobs, and tears fell drop by drop onto the back of her fair hands as she gripped her pants tightly.
Gu Zhishen felt a sudden pang in his heart. He lifted her small face and gently wiped away her tears with a tissue.
Her crying reminded him of the night before when she had been crying and begging for no beneath him. Gu Zhishen felt a tightness in his lower abdomen and quickly shook off the inappropriate thoughts from his mind.
"I don't mean to blame you! You're just a stand-in, you don't need to do these things for me." He said she was a stand-in, but his tone was gentle, as if he was afraid of startling her.
Mu Wanwan sniffed and then lowered her head, turning her back to him.
"Mr. Gu, I know who I am."
But we are already legally married and have consummated our marriage.
"At least until you kick me out, I will treat you as my real husband."
Last night, after getting drunk, he couldn't resist and forced himself on her. She was tormented by him all night, and in the morning, despite feeling unwell, she had to cook porridge for him. He suddenly felt like he was a real beast.
"Ding! Favorability increased by 10!"
Ding! Affection level increased by 10!
Ding! Affection level increased by 10! Current affection level total: 25!
The momentum of increasing favorability was very strong. Mu Wanwan was overjoyed inside, but she still maintained a wronged look on her face.
"Mu Wanwan, I will make it up to you later."
Mu Wanwan got up and dragged her heavy body toward the kitchen. After taking two steps, she stopped. "Mr. Gu, I don't want compensation. I'll follow my husband wherever he goes. It was all my own choice."
Soon, two light side dishes and a bowl of fragrant millet porridge were served in front of him.
Gu Zhishen initially only took a small sip, but the soft and tender millet porridge instantly won over his taste buds. Paired with crisp and delicious green vegetables, he finished two bowls in one go.
After dinner, Gu Zhishen couldn't bear to let her injured hand touch the water, so he volunteered to wash the dishes for the first time in his life. His sleeves were rolled up to his wrists, revealing his well-defined forearms, which had a powerful and beautiful look.
Mu Wanwan forced herself to concentrate and instructed him, "First, add a little water, then put some dish soap on the dishcloth..."
The two were like a loving young couple.
Mu Wanwan went upstairs and changed into a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and canvas shoes. She tied her hair in a high ponytail, put on light makeup, and instantly transformed into a pure and innocent college student.
"Mr. Gu, I have class today, so I'll be leaving now. Goodbye."
Without waiting for Gu Zhishen's reply, Mu Wanwan shrugged, turned around, opened the door, and left.
Watching her departing figure, Gu Zhishen felt even more guilty. She had been tormented all night, and she still had to go to work today. He didn't know how to express the unknown emotions he felt. He had been a complete jerk last night.
Leaving the villa area, Mu Wanwan bought a box of Chrysanthemum Delight, drinking it as she walked, and also did some task analysis and sorting out.
At this moment, Piggy enters the scene to help Mu Wanwan sort out the plot.
Gu Zhishen feels guilty towards Mu Wanwan, but he can never let go of his beloved Mo Ziting, who becomes an obsession he can never have in his life.
Gu Zhishen is a sentimental man; otherwise, he wouldn't feel sorry for Mu Wanwan while still longing for his unrequited love.
