Chapter 6: She Is The Person I Want To Spend The Rest Of My Life With

This house is quite a distance away from the bustling city, and it's on a high floor, so it becomes quiet in the early evening.

As a result, the sound of a pen scratching across A4 paper is particularly clear.

At this moment, Gu Jinrong is sitting at the desk, and the pristine A4 paper is covered in graceful handwriting.

Following Shen Qing's suggestion, the two of them are currently in the process of signing a "marriage agreement."

Gu Jinrong seems to be unusually accommodating at the moment, jotting down almost every sentence as Shen Qing speaks.

After catching up on sleep in the car, Shen Qing's mind is currently sharp, and she is able to come up with over a dozen clauses for the impromptu "marriage agreement."

"The 18th clause: The agreement is valid for one year, and divorce will take place promptly after one year."

As Shen Qing ponders, she also pays attention to Gu Jinrong's reactions.

Suddenly, Gu Jinrong stops writing and raises a rare question about the agreement terms.

"Isn't one year too short of a time?"

She looks up and meet her round, bright green eyes, smiling before adding, "I mean, what if your family still pressures you to get married after one year?"

Shen Qing, seeing Gu Jinrong earnestly considering on her behalf, adopted a slightly more polite tone.

"You don't have to worry about that. The mountain person* has her own clever plan. Besides, lies cannot be sustained indefinitely. The longer it lasts, the easier it is to be exposed."

*山人 (shanren) hermit/expert/master

"Oh." Gu Jinrong lowered her head and meticulously added the clauses requested by Shen Qing on the paper. Her slightly damp long hair fell, concealing her facial expression.

Shen Qing, observing that Gu Jinrong had finished writing, leaned in to examine it closely.

At the top of the A4 paper, written in strong calligraphic style, were the four bold words "Marriage Agreement."

The main text was neatly organized, consisting of a total of eighteen detailed clauses, all of which were dictated by Shen Qing just now.

[Do not refer to each other as wife.]

[Do not interfere in each other's lives.]

[Do not publicly disclose the relationship to anyone other than immediate family and friends.]

please read it there. and check out other stories too.

To be honest, Gu Jinrong's transcription skills are impressive. The agreement is complete, with graceful handwriting and no traces of correction. It's far superior to Shen Qing's xx messy handwriting.

After Shen Qing finished reading, she nodded in satisfaction, even showing a hint of warmth towards Gu Jinrong.

"Two copies are needed, so could you please write another one?"

Gu Jinrong kindly complied, and in the end, both of them signed their names at the bottom of the agreement.

Shen Qing, after keeping her own copy, breathed a sigh of relief, having achieved her desired outcome. Suddenly, something came to her mind.

"By the way, this agreement we made, does it have legal effect?"

"No," Gu Jinrong calmly turned her gaze back. Just as Shen Qing was about to explode, she added one more sentence.

"But I will listen to you."

The warm-toned light in the bedroom enveloped them, casting a gentle glow over their bodies.

Shen Qing and Gu Jinrong locked eyes, their gazes filled with smiles. Shen Qing's heart uncontrollably raced a bit faster, and at that moment, a voice flashed through her mind.

[Qingqing is really clever. That's why Jiejie listens to you.]

This woman, when she smiled tenderly, was always alluring.

Shen Qing remembered that even when she was young, this woman was endlessly tolerant towards her.

Most of the time, as long as it didn't touch her principles, she would strive to fulfill every word she said.

As a young child about ten years old, she felt immense respect from an adult seven years older than herself.

It was precisely because of this that she felt a sense of security and even reliance on her.

She had thought she could rely on her like this forever, but...

Shen Qing shook her head, dispelling the untimely sentiment, and when she looked up again, her emotions were stable.

"I'm tired. Take me to the guest room to rest."

***

At 10:30 PM, Shen Qing tossed and turned in the guest bed at Gu Jinrong's house, unable to fall asleep.

Although her body was tired, her mind was unusually active.

She considered herself to have no problem adapting to new beds, but at this moment, she was unable to fall asleep and meet Duke Zhou*. After much thought, the only explanation she could come up with was that there must be an issue with the Feng Shui** of the room.

*or Zhou Gong refers to a legendary figure in Chinese folklore who is believed to bring good dreams and restful sleep.

**Feng Shui is a Chinese philosophical system that aims to harmonize individuals with their environment. It is based on the belief that the arrangement and orientation of objects and spaces can affect the flow of energy, known as "qi" or "chi," and subsequently influence one's well-being, luck, and success.

Since it's a problem with the room, I should go and talk to the owner.

Gu Jinrong, who was slightly drowsy, was leaning against the headboard, swiping on her tablet. The only pillow on the bed had been temporarily repurposed as a makeshift cushion.

Upon hearing the knocking, she remained focused with her head down, appearing engrossed. "Come in, the door isn't locked."

Shen Qingzhi pushed the door open and took a couple of steps towards the bed, her face displaying annoyance from not being able to sleep.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke up, "Um, do you have any spare pillows at your place?"

Shen Qingzhi's position at that moment happened to overlap with the moonlight streaming in, giving her cream-colored cotton pajamas and rabbit-shaped slippers a soft hue in the cool moonlight.

If it weren't for her messy, light golden hair that stood out, she would truly resemble a gentle little rabbit.

Gu Jinrong lifted her head, and her gaze lingered for two seconds at the intersection of the other person's collar and neck before answering, just a moment before she was about to urge her to speak.

"No," she replied.

It wasn't a very surprising answer, but it made Shen Qingzhi frustrated, and she grabbed her hair in annoyance.

Since she was young, she had a habit of holding onto something while sleeping. In her own bedroom, there were dolls of various sizes, and she would pamper them on alternating days, following a pattern of one, three, five, and so on.

After entering the entertainment industry and having to travel for filming, she had somewhat overcome this habit. When she couldn't sleep, she could manage by hugging a pillow.

But it happened that Gu Jinrong's home was quite peculiar. Despite having double beds in both bedrooms, there was only one pillow on each bed.

"Sorry, it's a newly bought house, and we kept things simple. If you find the bed too empty..."

Gu Jinrong shifted slightly towards the bed as she spoke, clearly extending an invitation.

The bedding in the master bedroom was silver-gray, exuding a subtly seductive aura, just like the owner of the house.

As Gu Jinrong shifted, a faint impression was left on the spot where she had been lying before. If Shen Qingzhi were to lie down at this moment, she would still feel the lingering warmth.

Shen Qingzhi approached and leaned over, meeting Gu Jinrong's gaze directly. It was rare for her to have the opportunity to look down on someone from above, and a sense of pleasure rose in her heart.

Gu Jinrong, who had removed her makeup and stayed at home, appeared even gentler and harmless than usual.

Shen Qingzhi smiled at the inviting gaze of those eyes, defying her usual demeanor.

In the next moment, she reached out and grabbed the pillow that was propped up vertically at the head of the bed.

"I think your pillow is elevated a bit too high. It's not good for your spine to sleep like this. I'll take care of it tonight, and I suggest buying a lower one when you have the chance."

Gu Jinrong: …

 Without giving the other party a chance to retort, Shen Qingzhi, holding the pillow, walked away triumphantly.

Shen Qingzhi, with her "trophy" in hand, resembled a little rabbit holding a carrot, even her departing figure exuded a sense of excitement.

Gu Jinrong gazed in the direction of the door, lost in thought for a while, until the milky-white figure completely disappeared from sight.

She got up and opened the wardrobe, picking out a cotton robe and folding it into the shape of a pillow, placing it at the head of the bed.

Just as she was about to lie down, the sound of her phone ringing caught her off guard.

Gu Jinrong looked at the screen displaying "Alice" and answered the call.

"Jinrong, I've taken care of the task you assigned me earlier. The entry on Weibo has been taken down now."

"I also managed to obtain a recording of today's variety show performance. I've sent it to you via email."

As soon as the other person finished speaking, Gu Jinrong noticed a new email notification on her phone.

"Thank you, I appreciate your help this time."

She was always taciturn, even with the people closest to her.

Alice, as her manager and friend who had been by her side for years, was already familiar with her temperament and spoke cheerfully.

"Why be so polite with me? But there's one thing I'm quite curious about. You were willing to give up a Dollywood leading role just to come back to China, and when I asked you the reason, you didn't say anything.

"Women's sixth sense tells me it has something to do with her, right?"

Alice asked this question, not expecting Gu Jinrong to actually answer. However, today's Gu Jinrong was unusually candid.

"Yes."

"It really is her!" Despite having anticipated it, hearing it confirmed by the person herself was still shocking.

Alice took several seconds to compose herself before she couldn't help but inquire further, "Can I ask, who is she to you exactly?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. Just as Alice thought the question would be brushed off, a clear and resolute voice spoke up.

"She is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. "
