After finishing their meal, Gu Jin and Cen Xiuzhi returned home. Cen Xiuzhi had no intention of going back to the Chu family; he planned to spend the night at Gu Jin's house. When the other servants heard this, they secretly mocked them for their shamelessness. They were young and unmarried, yet they were already living such an immoral and indecent life.

In fact, only Cen Xiuzhi knew that this was a crucial time for making Gu Jin switch sides from Su Che and reestablishing trust in himself. Su Che would only stay at the Gu family for a week before leaving. During this week, he would definitely use all kinds of methods to leave a deep enough impression in Gu Jin's heart.

Cen Xiuzhi had to find a way to allow Su Che to continue to execute his supposedly flawless plan without noticing any changes in Gu Jin's mindset. The current Su Che would not expose his true intentions and reveal his hand until Gu Jin became the one in control of the Gu family. Only then would Su Che show his true colors and return to Cen Xiuzhi's side.

Of course, Chu Fanyi, as a supporting role like this, is just a cannon fodder sacrificed on Su Che's path of counterattack in the eyes of this time traveler.

Cen Xiu Zhi and Gu Jin went to his room. Unable to hold it in, Gu Jin turned back and said, "Why did you have to tell me all of this?"

Cen Xiuzhi stopped in his tracks. "Of course, it is to make you stronger. You should not possess such thoughts of weakness."

After a moment of silence, Gu Jin said, "But we are only in a marriage alliance. What exactly are your intentions? You are determined to help me regain the Gu family."

The two remained silent for a long time.

A long time later, Cen Xiuzhi said.

"If you insist on asking me why I must stand on your side," Cen Xiu Zhi quietly stared at Gu Jin for a moment.

Afterwards, before Gu Jin could react, Cen Xiuzhi reached out and grabbed the collar of his clothes. Leaning his upper body forward, he sought out his lips and kissed him.

Gu Jin's body trembled violently, his pupils suddenly contracting. Just as he was about to push him away, the next second, he was immobilized by the gentle touch of soft lips.

His chest seemed to be constantly expanding, as if it were a boiling pot of water on the verge of breaking free from its restraints, impossible to contain.

His mind was in chaos. Before he could even react, he suddenly made a move, firmly embracing the slender waist of Cen Xiuzhi. With a forceful press, Cen Xiuzhi obediently fell into the soft bedding, following the strength exerted by him.

The young man's slightly muscular body pressed against him, his hands groping around, biting his crimson lips like a wolf cub.

The inexperienced kiss was a little painful. Subconsciously, Cen Xiuzhi struggled, not expecting Gu Jin to impatiently tighten his grip even more, to the point where the strength of the hands that bound his arms almost made the sound of bones creaking.

In Cen Xiu's eyes, he found the familiar ferocity and cruelty that made his body tremble involuntarily. It was only with someone like Gu Jin that he could feel excited and trustful.

Although Gu Jin knew that this was his first experience with such matters, Cen Xiuzhi did not expect his reaction to be so intense.

As Gu Jin's actions became more and more uncontrollable, Cen Xiu decided to put a stop to it. Given their current identities and ages, it was not the appropriate time.

He groped and accurately found the acupoint on Gu Jin's waist and abdomen, and pressed hard, causing Gu Jin to release him in pain.

The Gu Jin just now was completely different from his usual self. That was the uninhibited Gu Jin, who unleashed his instincts without any concealment. After he came back to his senses, he probably couldn't believe what he had done. He covered his mouth, took two steps back, and swiftly turned around, rushing out of the room.

Cen Xi's clothes were in disarray as he watched Gu Jin disappear. He licked his moistened lips and stood up from the bedside, preparing to go to the restroom to take care of things.

As he turned the corner, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of Cen Xiuzhi, catching him off guard. Unable to avoid it in time, he collided with the figure, and a scalding hot water splashed "swish" onto the skin between the two of them.
