Chapter 2 I Want to Take Responsibility for You

"Qi Anran, watch your mouth. What do you mean by 'hooking me with a little benefit'? You've been chasing me for two years, have I ever fallen for it?"

A slap stunned Qi Anran.

When he regained his senses, he looked at Su Meixi in front of him, his eyes red, "Did you actually hit me?"

"Yes, I did hit you!"

Originally, Qi Anran did not want to retaliate because he didn't hit women, but then he noticed his current girlfriend, Han Ningzhen, was watching from not far away.

If he didn't retaliate, Han Ningzhen would probably get mad, right?

Qi Anran raised his hand to slap Su Meixi's face.

However, before his hand could touch Su Meixi, it was unexpectedly grabbed by someone.

Qi Anran was taken aback.

This tall and burly man appeared out of nowhere, now standing before Su Meixi, and looked at him coldly.

That look in his eyes was stern and harsh, chilling to the bone.

What made it worse was that the man was nearly 190 cm tall, over a dozen centimeters taller than him.

Qi Anran unconsciously took a step back.

At this moment, Su Meixi also opened her eyes wide.

She thought she would be hit by Qi Anran today, but instead, she only felt a breeze and then saw Gu Wei standing in front of her.

"Why are you hitting a woman?" Gu Wei asked Qi Anran.

"She hit me first." Qi Anran pointed to his face, which still had a red mark on it.

Gu Wei said, "You started by slandering her, and I heard it all."

Qi Anran got angry, "And who are you?"

"I am Dr. Su's friend. I have important matters to discuss with her and need to take her away now. If you have any objections, you can contact my lawyer."

After saying this, Gu Wei then turned to Su Meixi, "Dr. Su, can we talk now?"

Eager to leave, Su Meixi said, "Yes."

"Where shall we talk? You choose the place."

"Let's go to the milk tea shop at the corner up ahead," Su Meixi suggested.

She intended to ride her electric scooter there and have Gu Wei go on his own.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wei stretched his long legs and sat on her electric scooter the next second.

Seeing his legs almost bent at 90 degrees because they were too long, she couldn't help asking, "Mr. Gu, don't you have a car?"

"No, I got injured and can't drive," Gu Wei explained.

Su Meixi: "..."

She reluctantly started the scooter.

At that moment, Gu Wei wrapped his arms around her waist.

The front of Su Meixi's scooter became unmanageable, and she could only trundle forward shakily.

…

"Anran, who was that guy?" Qi Anran was still dazed, his girlfriend Han Ningzhen already swaggered over.

Qi Anran said, "Not sure, it's my first time seeing him. He must be her new lover, I suppose."

Han Ningzhen crossed her arms, looking at Qi Anran discontentedly, "What was all that about just now? Su Meixi hit your car, and you're just letting it go? Look at this dent, fixing it will cost at least 2000, right?"

"Just talk to his lawyer about it," he replied.

"Do you have his lawyer's contact information?"

"…" Qi Anran paused, "Didn't get a chance to ask."

Han Ningzhen's face darkened, and she stormed off.

Qi Anran quickly followed.

…

Milk tea shop.

Su Meixi held a cup of iced lemon tea, looking at Gu Wei.

"Mr. Gu, what did you want to talk about?" Su Meixi asked.

Gu Wei downed a cup of iced Americano and then said, "I want to take responsibility for what happened two months ago!"

"Take... responsibility?" Su Meixi sprayed tea onto Gu Wei's face, choking for a while.

Gu Wei hurried over to pat her back, wiping his face with his sleeve.

Finally gathering her composure, Meixi looked at Gu Wei sincerely, "Look, even though we slept on the same bed that night two months ago, nothing happened, and you don't have to take responsibility."

"But I was the one who removed your clothes, and I saw your body!"

"Cough, cough..." Su Meixi choked again.

She couldn't help but remember that night.

That day, Qi Anran had broken up with her, and she was feeling down, so she went to a bar.

It was her first time in a bar in her life.

Growing up conservative, even though she and Qi Anran had dated for more than a year, they had never been intimate. So even in the bar, she restrained herself, fearing she might get drunk, and ordered just a Long Island iced tea.

After experiencing the dazzling lights and the overwhelming atmosphere, she felt out of place and finished her "tea" before leaving.

On her way home, she felt dizzy, similar to being drunk, and then encountered two thugs.

While she was struggling with the thugs, Gu Wei came to her rescue.

Was it the alcohol or was Gu Wei just too handsome and charming? In a moment of lust, she tried to seduce him and give him her body which was preserved for 28 years.

Gu Wei, unfazed by the danger, didn't fall for her seduction. Following that, she threw up, and after that, she didn't know what happened.

When she woke up, she found herself and Gu Wei lying in the same bed, him deeply asleep, and her naked.

Being a doctor, she knew Gu Wei hadn't taken advantage of her. Her clothes were probably dirty from vomiting.

Seeing her clothes had been dry cleaned and neatly folded at the bedside, she quietly got dressed.

Before leaving, she saw a military ID on the table, opened it, and saw his name and photo.

A military man!

Where dare she linger? She quickly made her escape.

For the next week, she worried about being apprehended for soliciting a soldier.

Yet, two months passed without incident until Gu Wei appeared again.

…

"After that night, I wanted to talk to you, but I received an emergency mission the next day, so I'm only contacting you now," Gu Wei explained, sitting next to Su Meixi and smoothing her back.

Su Meixi had stopped coughing and raised her head, smiling awkwardly, "Really, no need. I didn't lose a piece of flesh since you saw my nude body. You don't need to take responsibility."

Gu Wei's expression changed, "Just saw a body and it's not serious? Is your body something to be casually seen by others?"

"I... of course not." She has lived until 28 still a virgin.

"Wasn't that an accident?" Su Meixi argued, "It was because I got my clothes dirty, and you helped me change. Just like I'm a doctor, I saw you in the same way today. Do I need to take responsibility for my patients, too? I'm one person, can't marry everyone, right? Besides..."

She took another sip of her lemon tea.

"Besides what?"
