Chapter 22 21. Seeing sex and forgetting righteousness
Chapter 22 21. Seeing lust and forgetting one's righteousness (Thank you to Lin Shen Si Jian Lu book friend for the 10,000 reward~)
Noisy all the way, the two returned to Li's house.
Li Zhien inserted the key into the keyhole and opened the door with a click.
In the living room, Li Zhongxin and He Jingshu were both on the sofa.
"Abba, oh mom! We are back!"
"Uncle, auntie."
He Jingshu waved to Gu Heng and said with a smile,
"Come and sit here, can you have dinner with friends without being disturbed by this girl?"
Glancing at Li Zhien, Gu Heng shook his head and said, "No, I just came out of the store with my friends when she came and was about to go home."
"Why are you about to go home? You are clearly concentrating on chatting with me." Li Zhien muttered in a low voice.
Gu Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Li Zhien's mouth was flat and he didn't dare to speak. He ran directly to the sofa and hid next to He Jingshu.
"Where is Zhongxun?" Gu Heng sat down next to Li Zhongxin and asked casually.
"Zhongxun has to go to school tomorrow. I just drove him to bed." Li Zhongxin replied.
"So that's it." Gu Heng shook his head and expressed his sympathy to Li Zhongxun.
In South Korea, students face tremendous learning pressure, and programs such as cram schools have been with them since childhood, making it difficult to escape.
And Li Jongxun is in his first year of high school this year, and the pressure on his studies and homework has increased sharply again compared to before.
Li Zhongxin handed a plate of fruit on the coffee table to Gu Heng, "I just finished eating barbecue, let's eat some fruit to relieve the tiredness."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhongxin." Gu Heng did not refuse and took out a small piece of pear with a skewer.
“I used to be fed first.”
Li Zhien, who was holding Ha Jingshu's arm, muttered and expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Jongxin's favoritism.
Li Zhongxin laughed, "You didn't eat barbecue at night, and you ran away without even taking a few bites of rice. Do you still need dad to give you fruit to relieve your tiredness?"
Gu Heng casually stuffed the piece of pear he took into the girl's mouth, blocking her words.
He Jingshu pinched Li Zhien's face to tell her not to mess around, and looked at Gu Heng, "Xiao Heng, are things going well at work?"
Gu Heng shook his head and said with a smile, "Let's talk slowly, there's no rush."
"What I'm saying is that I live at home and my work and life are very convenient."
They continued chatting until about ten o'clock at night. Seeing that Li Zhongxin and his wife looked a little tired, Gu Heng said,
"Uncle Zhong Xin, you go and rest first."
Li Zhongxin stood up and stretched his waist, "Okay, now that I am getting older, my energy is really bad. I have to work tomorrow."
"You two, don't stay up late, especially you, Li Zhien, don't stick to your brother and chat too late." He Jingshu warned the two of them.
"I know, I know." Li Zhien hugged a thin blanket and occupied the entire sofa.
He Jingshu pinched her ears before returning to the room with Li Zhongxin.
Gu Heng and Li Zhien were the only two people left in the living room.
Gu Heng naturally turned his attention to the girl.
Strictly speaking, this moment was the first time the two had a private conversation without anyone else present since they reunited.
After a short moment of silence, Li Zhien shrank into the blanket and muttered, "Liar."
"Why am I a liar?"
"Isn't it?!" Li Zhien raised his voice at first, but was forced to lower his voice for fear of waking up Li Zhongxin and his wife, "You clearly told me that you won't leave with that uncle or your father."
"You still remember this?" Gu Heng rubbed his brows and exhaled.
At that time, he promised his father Gu Changzhi to leave South Korea and go home together, but was overheard by Li Zhien who was hiding aside.
Of course the little girl didn't want to.
Gu Heng comforted her for a long time, and after promising a lot of things, he reluctantly made her believe in him.
After that.
According to this point of view, Li Zhien calling him a "liar" is not a "slander". He did completely deceive this girl Li Zhien, even if his decision itself was to make her and Li Zhongxun's situation slightly better.
"That was my fault, and I apologize to you."
"Humph, what's the use of apologizing?" Li Zhien muttered, "I'm too lazy to argue with you."
Gu Heng chuckled lightly.
I don’t know who the person who was drunk last night didn’t forget to scold him.
Of course, you can only say this in your heart.
"Let's talk." Gu Heng's tone turned serious.
Facing his eyes, Li Zhien suddenly felt inexplicably panicked, "What are you talking about?"
"Why debut?" Gu Heng said concisely and to the point.
"Because." Li Zhien looked sideways, "I like music and singing."
Gu Heng looked at her, silent for a moment, and then asked, "Is that all?"
Li Zhien pursed his lips and nodded.
"Isn't it because you want to help your family pay off their debts quickly?"
Li Zhien was quiet for a moment, and then said,
"I quite like my life now."
"What about studies?"
Gu Heng sighed and asked the last question.
He learned from He Jingshu that Li Zhien had interrupted her studies after finishing high school and did not continue her studies in college.
"As you know, Oppa, I don't have any talent in reading. When I was a child, I was so confident in tutoring me in math that I was so angry that I was almost half-dead, weren't you?" Li Zhien played with his hair and asked deliberately playfully.
Gu Heng was both angry and funny at the same time, "Don't give me such a bad look here!"
He knows very well how serious academic discrimination is in South Korea.
This problem will not be solved as her popularity increases, but more and more interested people will regard it as Li Zhien's "black spot".
Li Zhien blinked and stared at him without speaking.
After a long confrontation, Gu Heng finally shook his head and gave in temporarily, "Forget it, let's talk about this later."
After escaping the disaster, Li Zhien quickly smiled flatteringly at Gu Heng.
Gu Heng gave her a shudder on the forehead before dropping the topic.
"I plan to visit grandma in a few days. Do you have time to come with me?"
"Of course!" Li Zhien raised his hand instantly, "But I still need to prepare some things about the Japanese version of "Good Day" and the new album in the past two days. Can we go there on the weekend?"
"Okay," Gu Heng nodded in agreement and patted Li Zhien, "It's getting late, go to bed quickly."
"Okay." Li Zhien stood up reluctantly and walked towards his room.
Before closing the door, she stuck her head out and said, "oppa."
"Um?"
"You won't sneak away while I'm sleeping this time, will you?"
Gu Heng sneered and said, "Go to sleep!"
"Wait! I have another question!"
"explain."
"That Lin Yuner, you must not do that."
Li Zhien held it in for a long time and then popped out a Chinese sentence, "Seeing sex and forgetting justice! Yes, seeing sex and forgetting justice!"
After saying that, she quickly closed her door.
Gu Heng was left crying and laughing outside the room door.
"This girl, I worked so hard to teach Chinese, and now I'm only at this level."
