Water?
Has Gu Yusheng already seen me and is asking me to get him a cup of water?
While Qin Zhi'ai was thinking, Gu Yusheng whisper-shouted twice, "Water... Water..."
He might have repeated it again, but the third "water" was suddenly replaced by the sound of vomiting.
Then, the pungent smell of alcohol permeated in the air.
Gu Yusheng, is he drunk?
Qin Zhi'ai frowned and noticed something was wrong.
When he walked towards the bathroom, he ran into the stool...So he was drunk and couldn't see in front of him.
Qin Zhi'ai calmed down and turned around.
Gu Yusheng had already stopped vomiting. He seemed to be very uncomfortable. His head hung off the edge of the bed and his eyes were closed. He gave a desperate moan every now and then.
Qin Zhi'ai wasn't sure how drunk he was, so she called his name. "Gu Yusheng?"
Gu Yusheng gave no response at all, seemingly not hearing her.
This time, she finally dared to go back to his bedside, and she found that his face was scarily pale. His eyes were open, but glazed over. Although he stared at her for a while, he still couldn't see her clearly, which meant that he was completely drunk.
When he had vomited, he had moved so slowly that the sheets and his black hair had been stained with vomit.
Qin Zhi'ai thought that if she was Liang Doukou, she would definitely ignore Gu Yusheng to protect her dignity, because he had treated her so badly and indifferently.
However, she wasn't Liang Doukou. She was Qin Zhi'ai, who hadn't forgotten him for years, ever since they first met.
Therefore, seeing him in such a situation, she couldn't just ignore him.
Water..." Gu Yusheng said the word again.
Qin Zhi'ai stopped thinking and immediately ran out of the bedroom without any hesitation or internal struggle, then got a cup of warm water from downstairs.
Gu Yusheng was softer drunk than he was awake.
When she propped up his body, he didn't resist, and sat up with her help.
When she held the cup up to his mouth, he immediately opened his mouth and sipped it.
After drinking the water, his eyebrows relaxed.
As soon as she put him down on the bed, he immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep.
She covered him with a quilt, then got a wet towel from the bathroom to wipe the vomit out of his hair first, then the sheet, as well as the floor.
After having cleared everything up, Qin Zhi'ai saw the discomfort on his face.
Due to the headache caused by consuming so much alcohol, he kept pressing on his temples.
Qin Zhi'ai couldn't bear to see him suffer, so she massaged his head by his bedside.
What she might have had an effect, since he gradually calmed down and breathed evenly.
Qin Zhi'ai didn't stop until Gu Yusheng dropped into a sound sleep. She rubbed her sore wrists, resting her eyes on his closed eyes and relaxed brow.

Chapter 30: Playing Games with Me? (10)
When Qin Zhi'ai had first met Gu Yusheng years ago, she couldn't figure out how to describe him. Although many years had passed, she still couldn't.
She racked her brain, but only found one word: seductive.
Beautiful eyebrows, an outstanding nose, slightly thin lips, perfect facial lines, how could Gu Yusheng's face be so eye-catching?
Qin Zhi'ai didn't drink, but she felt drunk when she stared at him.
Because there was the lingering smell of alcohol, she opened the windows in the room.
A strong wind blew the leaves in the courtyard and made them rustle.
This wind blew into the house, her long hair and his short hair floating slowly in the air.
At this moment, Qin Zhi'ai suddenly remembered a moment from the past.
–
It was during her first year of senior high school that Qin Zhi'ai first met Gu Yusheng.
As early as junior high school, Qin Zhi'ai had heard that there was a handsome guy in the senior high school whose appearance and background could be compared to superstars. Because they weren't in the same building, Qin Zhi'ai had only heard about him, never seen him.
On the day when senior high school students were enrolled, Qin Zhi'ai dragged her suitcase and looked for the dormitory around the campus. She had to climb many steep steps, which was difficult for her with her heavy suitcase. There were many boys in school uniforms that passed by, but only he offered her a hand and placed the suitcase on the top step. Then he walked into the bathroom nearby, so she didn't have the chance to say thanks.
On that day, Qin Zhi'ai didn't know what his name was, but she remembered that his face was even more beautiful than those in the magazines.
The second time she met him was on the last day of military training.
At that time, she, in an ugly military uniform, was practicing the horse stance in the hot sun, sweat streaming down her face.
In the dazzling sunlight, he rode his bike and disappeared from her sight after making a turn at the school building.
The third time she saw Gu Yusheng was the second Wednesday after the semester officially started. He was talking on the phone at the door to the cafeteria.
After finishing the beverage in his hand, he spun the empty bottle and threw it easily into the garbage can at a distance.
This series of simple actions caused the screams and whispers from the girls who passed by.
Qin Zhi'ai finally knew from their whispers that his name was Gu Yusheng.
Gu Yusheng was his name... So he was the handsome guy in the senior high school.
The fourth time she met him was in the Joy Internet Cafe opposite the school. She was sitting right next to a group of his friends while he was playing computer games. His friends were screaming and slamming on their keyboards. However, he was the only one that sat there quietly, tapping on the keyboard quickly, exploding one enemy after another.
Later on, she met him for the fifth, sixth, and seventh times...They finally had a connection with each other when her deskmate, Xu Wennuan, started dating his roommate, Wu Hao.
