"Wooden Face, breakfast is ready! Come down and eat." Gu Sijiu called for Song Jinzhi for the third time from downstairs, but the other's door remained closed, as if she had made up her mind not to get up. Gu Sijiu felt somewhat helpless. She noticed that the weather was getting colder, and Song Jinzhi's habit of sleeping in was becoming more serious. This person wouldn't get out of bed unless Gu Sijiu called her several times each day. Gu Sijiu thought she must have been blind to think Song Jinzhi was punctual and disciplined. Looking at it now, Song Jinzhi was not only not punctual but also incredibly lazy.
To avoid Song Jinzhi being late, Gu Sijiu had no choice but to go upstairs herself. She took off her apron and hung it in the kitchen before pushing the door open and entering Song Jinzhi's room. Ever since they had become inti.mate, Song Jinzhi had stopped locking her door. Gu Sijiu often thought back to when they first started living together, and Song Jinzhi would even lock the security door. Now, she could come and go freely.
The room was filled with Song Jinzhi's pheromones. The pleasant scent of hibiscus lingered in the air as soon as she opened the door, making Gu Sijiu smile. She stood by the bed, looking at Song Jinzhi curled up under the covers, with only her little head visible. Unable to resist, she poked her face. "Wooden Face, if you don't eat breakfast soon, I'm going to eat your piggy bun! Hurry up and get up." At first, Gu Sijiu's voice was loud, but it gradually softened without her realizing it.
After being poked repeatedly, Song Jinzhi finally couldn't stand it anymore and pushed Gu Sijiu's hand away as she reached to poke her again. Gu Sijiu noticed that Song Jinzhi seemed to be wearing nothing, still half-asleep. It wasn't the first time Gu Sijiu had noticed Song Jinzhi's sultry habits. A few days ago, she had also accidentally found out that Song Jinzhi seemed to be sleeping without clothes.
At that time, she thought it was just a coincidence—maybe Song Jinzhi didn't have a nightgown to change into? Or maybe she felt hot that day? Gu Sijiu made up several excuses for her. But today, Song Jinzhi was still wearing nothing, and Gu Sijiu saw the sheer black mesh set draped over the sofa. Looking down at her own pajama dress featuring a hamster print, she couldn't help but pull the blanket back over Song Jinzhi.
"Good morning." After a while, Song Jinzhi finally woke up completely, lazily getting up from bed and revealing her fair shoulders. Gu Sijiu glanced over, her ears turning a bit hot, so she lowered her head. Noticing Gu Sijiu's little movement, Song Jinzhi smirked, leaning against the headboard, barely covering herself with the blanket.
"What do you mean morning? It's already 9 o'clock, why aren't you up yet?" Gu Sijiu looked at Song Jinzhi helplessly but the latter still maintained her leisurely demeanor.
"I'm the general manager, being late isn't a big deal. I'm getting up now. Do you want to watch me get dressed?" Song Jinzhi suddenly raised her head, raised an eyebrow at Gu Sijiu, who was momentarily stunned by her expression. Gu Sijiu shook her head dumbfoundedly and quickly left the room, feeling flustered and even stumbling a little because of her rush.
While Gu Sijiu waited downstairs, Song Jinzhi came down already washed up and dressed neatly. She wore a white suit, a short waist-length jacket, along with white suit pants. Song Jinzhi had fair skin, and white looked very good on her, especially with her hair pinned up, exuding an elegant and noble aura.
Gu Sijiu had long noticed that whenever Song Jinzhi went out to work or to events, she always dressed very conservatively. As she sat down to have breakfast across from Gu Sijiu, her every move radiated a queen-like aloofness. Gu Sijiu couldn't help but marvel inwardly. Who would have thought that Song Jinzhi, dressed like this, was a sultry mess with no clothes on just 20 minutes ago?
"Why are you staring at me?" Song Jinzhi picked up a piggy bun and looked up to find Gu Sijiu staring at her absentmindedly. With her hair clipped on top of her head, revealing her fair face, Gu Sijiu's deep red eyes met hers, making Song Jinzhi's heart beat a bit faster. She quickly looked down at her bun, trying to hide her fluster.
"Nothing, just thinking that... you're really two-faced. You dress so formally for work, but you don't even wear clothes to bed." Gu Sijiu voiced her thoughts, mainly to tease Song Jinzhi. Little did she expect Song Jinzhi to pause briefly upon hearing her words and then smile back at her.
"Sleeping without clothes is the best way to sleep. Since I'm alone, why should I bother wearing clothes?" Gu Sijiu had anticipated Song Jinzhi's possible rebuttal, but instead, she found her becoming more shameless. Gu Sijiu, feeling annoyed, took a bite of the red bean bun and couldn't find a response. Seeing Gu Sijiu's defeated look amused Song Jinzhi even more, and strangely, it only improved her appetite.
That morning, there was nothing urgent for Song Jinzhi to handle at the Song Company, so she decided it could wait until the afternoon. After breakfast, Gu Sijiu instructed the AI robot to clean up the dishes, tied on her apron again, and planned to make some pastries. She had casually given Song Jinzhi some the other day, and in less than a day, Song Jinzhi had eaten all the snacks in the plate. Gu Sijiu had thought that someone like Song Jinzhi wouldn't enjoy such snacks, but once again, reality proved her wrong.
Seeing Gu Sijiu with a gentle smile, carefully arranging the pastry molds in the kitchen, Song Jinzhi stood outside with a smile, silently watching her. Life is good now, satisfying for both herself and Gu Sijiu. Regarding Gu Sijiu's health issues, Song Jinzhi had already explained to her parents. They were heartbroken for her and even asked if Song Jinzhi was willing to break off the engagement, insisting that she should not suffer any grievances, even if it meant tearing apart the relationship with the Gu family.
After hearing this, Song Jinzhi shook her head. If her parents had proposed such an idea before, she might have agreed. But now, Gu Sijiu had become someone she liked. How could she push this person away amidst such rumors and gossip? As Song Jinzhi pondered, her communicator in her pocket lit up. Glancing at the incoming call, she turned and walked into the garden.
"General Song, sorry to disturb you."
"Is there an issue?"
"Yes, there's been a minor oversight in a document that just came up. I wanted to discuss with you if we can change to an alternate plan."
The anxious voice of Jennifer came from the other end. Song Jinzhi responded with an "Mm" and waited for her to explain. Once it involved work, Song Jinzhi would become extremely serious, often ignoring everything around her. She leaned against a nearby wooden stump, she earnestly discussed with Jennifer how to modify the plan. Gu Sijiu walked out and saw this scene.
The morning sun was bright and warm, casting a glow on everything it touched. Song Jinzhi's profile was beautiful, her lips painted with light orange lipstick moved gently as she spoke, her voice soft, warm, and steady, captivating beyond comparison. Gu Sijiu stared blankly, her feet moving involuntarily towards Song Jinzhi. Hearing her footsteps, Song Jinzhi turned back and smiled gently before continuing to discuss work.
Gu Sijiu stood quietly beside her, but her heart was anything but calm. Inside her chest, a strong heartbeat echoed, and that unprecedented flutter made Gu Sijiu's eyes well up. She liked her so much, merely looking at her stirred an uncontrollable desire to be close to her.
What was happening to her? She had seen beautiful women before, yet she couldn't take her eyes off Song Jinzhi in this moment. Finally, when Song Jinzhi finished her call, Gu Sijiu took small steps towards her. Song Jinzhi looked at her, wanting to ask something, when suddenly Gu Sijiu tiptoed and planted a kiss on her lips.
The two of them were about the same height, but because Gu Sijiu was wearing slippers and Song Jinzhi was in high heels, the height difference appeared much greater. Speckled sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting scattered light on Gu Sijiu's head. Her deep cherry-colored long hair appeared lighter in the sunlight, her fair cheeks blushing slightly like a pink apple, fresh and tender.
She timidly and cautiously leaned toward Song Jinzhi, standing on her tiptoes, her slender calves straightening. In her nervousness, she unconsciously clutched the hem of her dress, and then she kissed her. The kiss was pure and simple, carrying Gu Sijiu's own unique taste and scent. The faint mint scent mixed with a hint of lemon fragrance, like a small pebble dropped into a fizzy drink—small, yet effortlessly breaking the previous restlessness, merging into a new, vibrant feeling.
The kiss was short, but the warmth lingered unexpectedly long. The person in front was scared and very nervous. The corners of her eyes were tinted with shyness, and her closed eyes trembled. This posture looked incredibly beautiful and alluring. Especially the way she stood on her tiptoes made Gu Sijiu appear like a little hamster seeking her owner's affection, adorably helpless.
The kiss briefly lingered on her lips and then vanished in an instant. Song Jinzhi gazed intently at Gu Sijiu, about to say something, but Gu Sijiu quickly stepped back, pretending nothing had happened, and hurriedly walked toward the house.
"Ah, I just remembered the cookies are still baking, I'll go in first." Gu Sijiu snapped back to reality, realizing her actions, and her face flushed completely. Seeing her rush back into the house, Song Jinzhi touched her lips that had been kissed, thoughtful at first but then smiling with amusement.
This Alpha is just excessively sweet.
