Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Two People
The two sat at the table and resumed studying.
Once Gu Shiting got into studying mode, he became very focused and meticulously taught Sheng Tang mathematics.
However, he often forgot that Sheng Tang wasn’t a genius like him, and when he started talking about topics beyond the syllabus, Sheng Tang would look utterly baffled.
"Where did we leave off?" he asked.
Sheng Tang: "...."
Gu Shiting hurriedly adjusted the pace and re-explained a ridiculously simple math problem, treating Sheng Tang like an elementary school student.
After studying for an hour, a servant came to announce dinner.
Sheng Tang and he had dinner. They walked around the outside of the golf course for an hour to digest the food, then returned home to exercise.
Gu Shiting loved fitness.
Exercise releases dopamine in the body, which sweeps away emotional distress and improves mood.
Otherwise, given his situation, he would have fallen into depression long ago.
He was addicted to fitness.
As for Sheng Tang, frequent exercise had recently become her habit, and she was vaguely addicted too.
The two spent two hours in the Gu Family’s basement gym, feeling quite energized.
After exercising, Sheng Tang was drenched in sweat.
Suddenly, Gu Shiting hugged her from behind.
He was very hot, exuding boyish vibes, which made Sheng Tang stumble.
"Oh my gosh!" Sheng Tang nearly screamed, "You’re so dirty!"
Though she liked fitness, she hated sweat, be it hers or others’.
Gu Shiting couldn’t help but chuckle.
He refused to let go, inhaling her warm scent: "Let’s sleep together tonight!"
"Are you serious at this age?"
"You just called me a kid!"
Sheng Tang: "...."
He had just insisted that he was an adult.
But Sheng Tang really disliked being hugged tightly while sweaty. She was too lazy to argue and forcefully slapped his hand: "Alright, alright, whatever you say, just let go first."
Gu Shiting reluctantly released her.
Sheng Tang hurried back to her room, rushing into the bathroom, scrubbing herself clean from head to toe, finally feeling a bit better.
With an absorbent towel wrapped around her head and dressed in pajamas, she was about to apply a face mask when there was a knock at the door.
Gu Shiting, carrying the fresh scent of post-shower, stood at the door.
Sheng Tang slightly tilted her head at him.
He naturally walked into Sheng Tang’s room.
Seeing the towel wrapped around her head, making her head appear two sizes bigger, Gu Shiting asked her: "Aren’t you done yet?"
"I’m a woman," Sheng Tang laughed, "We women have a whole routine for bathing and skincare."
Gu Shiting responded with an "Oh".
Sheng Tang turned to the bathroom, fiddled around for a moment, then emerged with a face mask on her bright white face.
Gu Shiting found it amusing.
Sheng Tang knocked on his head, her masked face making it difficult to move her lips, her voice muffled: "What are you laughing at?"
Gu Shiting found it hard to explain.
He pulled Sheng Tang over: "Let me dry your hair."
Sheng Tang planned to dry her hair after finishing the face mask, but she nodded at his suggestion.
Her hair was very long, thick, and black, falling heavily. She sat in a chair, letting him handle her hair.
Gu Shiting took out the hairdryer and comb, pausing for a moment before intuitively finding the technique.
The warm air lingered behind Sheng Tang, making her quite comfortable. She unknowingly leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes.
Gu Shiting carefully and attentively dried her hair bit by bit.
By the time he finished, Sheng Tang was leaning against the chair, seemingly asleep.
Gu Shiting softly called her: "Tangtang?"
Sheng Tang mumbled.
She squinted her eyes, unwilling to move, peeled off the mask and spoke to Gu Shiting: "Go to the bathroom, get the toner and cream for me, I’ll just apply them casually and go to sleep."
Gu Shiting agreed.
He knew what to do.
He poured the toner onto a cotton pad, carefully wiped away the remaining mask on her face, then applied the cream for her.
Sheng Tang was completely lazy, motionless.
Gu Shiting looked down at her, only feeling that at this moment, her white skin, red lips, and ink-black hair made her look like a captivating enchantress.
Sheng Tang seemed to sense his cool breath, not aware of anything, casually opened her eyes.
