Good Morning, Mister Dragon!

When Gu Mian woke up the next morning, her body was awfully sore. She fixed her eyes on the ceiling above her. She did not even dare to take a deep breath, because her body would feel even more painful.

Tang Zui went crazy again last night.

Tang Zui went out very early in the morning for the past few days.

After Gu Mian lay in bed for a while, she quickly sat up, opened the drawer of the nightstand and took out a bottle. She unscrewed the cap, poured out a pill and put it into her mouth right away. She swallowed it immediately without even drinking water.

The bitter taste spread from her tongue to her throat and eventually numbed her heart. Gu Mian turned and was about to put the bottle back into the drawer. When she raised her head, she spotted Tang Zui standing at the doorway and staring at her.

She was taken aback, for she assumed that Tang Zui had already left the house. Gu Mian quickly put the bottle back into the drawer. She picked up her pajamas from the bed and put them on. She got out of the bed and said, “I’m going to prepare breakfast.”

As she spoke, she headed towards the bedroom door. When she walked past Tang Zui, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back. He asked expressionlessly, “What did you take just now?”

Gu Mian stared at him nervously and answered, “A morning after pill. I’m worried that I’ll get pregnant again.”

Tang Zui held his breath for a split second. His grip on her arm began to tighten. He thought of their miscarried child and felt an acute sense of suffocation in his chest.

“Can I go make us breakfast?” Gu Mian’s facial expression was rather innocent. She thought that Tang Zui would not object to her decision to take birth control pills. She thought that he would be happy to see her take the precaution to prevent another pregnancy.

This was because she knew clearly that he hated her guts.

Tang Zui kept tightening his grip on her arm, as though he was determined to crush her bones. Gu Mian was in so much pain that she could only beg for his mercy. “Tang Zui, it hurts.”

When he heard Gu Mian’s voice, Tang Zui snapped out of his reverie. He suddenly pushed her away with force before turning around and leaving the room. When he walked out of the apartment, he slammed the door shut with a thunderous bang again.

As he shoved Gu Mian away, she fell and crashed against the door. Her waist rammed onto the doorknob, and she furrowed her eyebrows tightly because of the pain.

This time, Tang Zui did not return for a week. Gu Mian finally had time to rest and recover from physical and mental exhaustion.

Gu Mian received a phone call from Su Qianxun. The latter asked whether she wanted to attend classes tomorrow. Gu Mian immediately said yes. The two young women then decided to head to campus tomorrow.

The next day, when Su Qianxun reached campus, Gi Mian had just arrived as well. They chatted and walked into the campus hand in hand.

“Qianxun, Gu Mian!” When Ke Ran saw them, she immediately rushed towards them. “Why haven’t you guys come to class for such a long time? Some big brand posted an advertisement on campus. They’re auditioning female students for a role. Both of you never showed up, so I registered for you!”

“Hey, Ke Ran, you’re such a busybody!” Bai Weimi walked in through the campus entrance and shot Ke Ran a glare. She wanted the role herself and did not like competition.

“We’re all roommates, after all, and they are always not around. Of course I should register for them. Didn’t I do the same for you?” Ke Ran did not think that she had done anything wrong.

Bai Weimi glared at her again. The young women were about to head to the lecture hall when they heard a male voice shouting behind them, “Mimi, you left something in my car.”

The young women turned and saw Bai Weimi’s boyfriend, Xue Rui running toward them with a lipstick in his hand. Bai Weimi saw him and immediately hooked her arm around his. She said, “You should’ve just left it be and kept it in your car.”

“I was still around anyway, so it isn’t troublesome at all to come over.” Xue Rui acted like a gentleman. His eyes lit up when he saw Su Qianxun, who was standing behind Bai Weimi. He asked, “Are these your roommates?”
