Pampered by My Billionaire Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 2 Uh..., On Scientific Research

Gu Jingchen's deep black eyes furrowed slightly. The man had always had a mild case of mysophobia, and after an entire day of travel, his body had already reached its limit of tolerating dust. Fortunately, Gu Jingyu, being a professor at Yun City University, had a private lounge with all the necessary facilities.

Five minutes later, Gu Jingchen emerged from the bathroom, wearing Gu Jingyu's bathrobe.

"Knock, knock." A knock on the door sounded just then.

"Who are you looking for?" Gu Jingyu deliberately didn't open the door, instead giving his older brother a meaningful glance as he asked at the door.

"Hello,"

A woman's bright and lively voice from outside reached everyone's ears in the room!

"Shang Xixia..." Gu Jingchen gritted his teeth as he spat out these three words. The usually composed man was thoroughly enraged!

At the sound of this voice—the voice that had invaded his dreams for years—his otherwise masculine and flawless face turned an indescribable shade of green!

"Hello..."

As Gu Jingyu's pale fingers opened the door, Shang Xixia stood in the doorway, her small face glowing with clarity and elegance, her thick curled lashes dancing with a trace of reflective mirth.

At the same time, Shang Xixia's close friend, Yu Tingting, followed right behind her. Tingting's fair face was adorned with a soft and warm smile, and her long lashes fluttered as she cast a glance into the room.

Shang Xixia wore a white dress paired with matching white shoes, which accentuated her long and slender, porcelain legs. Standing at the professor's lounge doorway, her long hair cascaded like silk down her back, gleaming brightly. Her skin was as radiant as freshly fallen snow, her eyes shimmering with spirited liveliness, while her lips curved into a smile faintly resembling the arc of a crescent moon. Her lush, inky lashes seemed to speak, fluttering charmingly above her high, delicate nose, and her small, rosily pink lips. She stood there in perfect softness, an ethereal vision at the door. The sight left the ever-unflappable Gu Jingchen momentarily dazed!

"Shang Xixia, you've used it before, practiced it even, haven't you?" A few seconds later, the typically masculine and composed man, recalling the little woman's earlier self-introduction, utterly lost control of his temper. His face darkened, his teeth clenched as he roared furiously, his handsome face darkening further!

"Sorry, I'm so sorry, I came to the wrong room, I'm really sorry..."

Realizing the situation in an instant, Shang Xixia spotted Gu Jingchen's impossibly, out-of-this-world handsome face leaning closer as he shouted in anger, closing the distance between them. Overwhelmed with inexplicable guilt, she struggled to swallow her saliva, her clear eyes blinking rapidly before grabbing Yu Tingting's hand and swiftly turning to flee!

"You! Come back here, Shang Xixia!"

The man reached out his strong, defined arm, intending to grab hold of the petite woman's slender frame. But she seized the moment to slip away in a frenzy!

"Big brother, look at yourself..."

Gu Jingchen's stunningly handsome face transitioned to a stormy shade. He stepped forward urgently, his long legs propelling him to give chase like a whirlwind. At that moment, Gu Jingyu, always thoughtfully observant, pointed good-naturedly at the bathrobe precariously tied around his older brother's waist.

"..." Gu Jingchen looked down at himself, his expression dark as ash. Gripping his teeth in frustration, he could only watch as the little woman in front of him, her flawlessly fair long legs flashing by, fled sheepishly out of sight.

"Haha, leave these spares for me; I'll come pick them up from you later." Turning back with evident defeat, the man, whose face had just been clouded with embarrassment, now tilted his thin lips up into a sly smirk. His magnetic voice brimmed with a smug triumph, his playful satisfaction palpable.

"Big brother, what do you even want those for? Isn't it a little too early to be preparing?" Gu Jingyu asked quizzically, eyeing his older brother's darkly playful smile with confusion.

"For scientific research." Gu Jingchen replied, keeping an air of solemnity with his answer.

"Scientific research..." Gu Jingyu remained puzzled but didn't press further. It wasn't his field of study after all. Perhaps it had something to do with his brother's aeronautical research.

"Little girl, do you have any idea what it's like when the time finally comes to use these kinds of things... For you, I've kept a perfect record of twenty-eight years of purity, do you even know..."

The man's deep eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts turning mischievous, and the smirk at his lips grew all the more smug.

"Big brother, tonight at Lai Le Bar! Some of the guys haven't gathered in ages. When they heard you'd be back, they couldn't wait!"

Seeing his older brother's lovestruck, somewhat bewitched demeanor, Gu Jingyu's mouth gave a slight twitch before swiftly steering the topic elsewhere.

It wasn't that he wasn't curious about his brother's love life. It was more that Gu Jingchen always became like this whenever he saw Shang Xixia. He looked completely enchanted, as though he'd fallen under some love-induced spell. The deeper the years went, the worse the effect seemed to be. There was no doubt in Gu Jingyu's mind—nobody else would do for him but her. He'd long since grown used to it, all right?

"Mm. Sure." The man finally snapped back to his usual demeanor, giving a nod of agreement.

Meanwhile, Shang Xixia had bolted from the professor's lounge and made her way down the building's steps. Her delicate hand still firmly clasping Yu Tingting's, she looked as though she were escaping for her life. Only after running quite a distance and making sure Gu Jingchen hadn't given chase did she let out a sigh of relief. Reaching out a soft, pale hand, she gently tried to calm her racing heartbeat before collapsing completely onto one of Yun City University's roadside stone benches.

"Oh my gosh, what just happened!" Shang Xixia stuck out her adorable little tongue and let out a dejected groan.

"Who was that, Xixia? You know him? But wow, what a killer body! He's the epitome of 'fit when dressed, hot when stripped,' a guy just oozing that heart-racing vibe..."
