Chapter 20 The First Step in Pursuing Love: Changing Careers to Become a Coach
Gu Zhen unleashed a barrage of veiled insults, rendering Xie Xingyun speechless.
Li Xi looked at Gu Zhen with some surprise.
Is Professor Gu really that sharp-tongued?
Such a vicious mouth, wouldn't it be exciting to kiss it?
Xie Xingyun attempted to assault Li Xi, and the court is highly likely to grant Li Xi a personal safety protection order.
By then, Xie Xingyun wouldn't even have the right to approach Li Xi or breathe the same air as her, let alone talk to her.
Staring coldly at Li Xi and Gu Zhen's tightly clasped fingers, Xie Xingyun slowly exhaled the anger in his heart and asked Li Xi, "Are you two really together?"
Li Xi nodded without blinking and said, "We're together. The night you got engaged to Jiang Qingkong, Professor Gu and I got together."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xingyun's expression changed drastically. He exclaimed incredulously, "You two slept together?"
“Of course!” Li Xi looked at Xie Xingyun as if he were an idiot. She said, “We’ve never slept together, how would I know how good his technique is or how long his penis is?”
Xie Xingyun had been secretly dating Li Xi for three years, but he never dared to touch her.
Li Xi is a pure and innocent girl.
How could a girl who has never slept with a man say such shameful things without batting an eye?
Realizing that the two of them might actually have slept together, Xie Xingyun was consumed by jealousy.
He had an urge to tear Gu Zhen to pieces.
But he wasn't qualified.
He was the one who dumped Li Xi and then got engaged to Jiang Qingkong.
Li Xi is a free single woman; it's her freedom to be with whomever she wants.
Not to mention, she has severed ties with the Xie family, so Xie Xingyun has lost the right to act as an elder brother and educate her.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Xingyun looked at Gu Zhen defiantly and said through gritted teeth, "Professor Gu, right? You'd better stay this arrogant."
He has plenty of ways to ruin a mere professor's reputation!
After uttering those harsh words, Xie Xingyun reluctantly left.
After driving Xie Xingyun away, Gu Zhen immediately released Li Xi.
He quickly apologized to Li Xi: "I'm sorry, I saw him harassing you and thought you might need help, so I took it upon myself to say those things..."
Li Xi smiled and waved her hand, saying, "It's alright, I was just worried about not being able to persuade him!"
Looking in the direction Xie Xingyun left, Li Xi couldn't help but complain, "That jerk! He dated me for three years and thought I should remain chaste for him for the rest of my life. When I told him I was living with my new boyfriend, he didn't believe me."
"Thanks to Professor Gu for appearing in time and helping me finish this scene, I should be thanking you."
Li Xi was deeply grateful to Gu Zhen.
"Speaking of which, Professor Gu's acting skills are really good."
Gu Zhen smiled and said, "It's my duty to help a lady out of an awkward situation."
The two walked back to the apartment side by side. On the way, Li Xi recalled the outrageous things she had said to Xie Xingyun to spite him, and she immediately felt her face burning.
Li Xi didn't dare to look up at Gu Zhen.
But when she looked down, her eyes would always uncontrollably peek at Gu Zhen's lower body.
18.8 ...
Li Xi's neck started to turn red.
Gu Zhen lowered his gaze and took in Li Xi's reaction, his mood becoming somewhat complicated.
So much so that the two of them felt a little awkward standing in the elevator.
Gu Zhen quickly changed the subject, casually mentioning, "I just saw you and Jiang Xinghe on Douyin's local recommendations; you two were stopped by the traffic police..."
Li Xi was still upset about it, "We had a few drinks and called a designated driver to take us back, but it turned out the driver had also been drinking..."
Gu Zhen couldn't help but chuckle, "This guy's luck is definitely not from sleeping."
This is what you call a joke coming true; Li Xi found it both funny and absurd when she thought about it.
Li Xi sighed, "You still need to learn to drive yourself."
"You don't know how?" Gu Zhen looked at her, his eyes gentle.
Li Xi didn't dare to meet Gu Zhen's gaze, and said with her head down, "I'm planning to take my driver's license test recently, and I'm asking Jiang Xinghe to help me find a driving school."
Gu Zhen took his hand out of his pocket and said, "The driving school I used to attend has a good reputation. I can recommend you check it out."
Li Xi asked, "Is it far?"
Gu Zhen smiled and said, "It's a bit far, but there's a private car to pick you up."
Are driving schools now offering such excellent service?
"Then I'll have to trouble Professor Gu."
As soon as Gu Zhen returned to his apartment, he received a call from the former dean of the medical school.
"Gu, your contract is about to expire. When are you going to renew it?" Gu Zhen is a special lecturer at the medical school and has only signed a one-year cooperation agreement.
With the contract about to expire, the old dean still wanted to renew it with Gu Zhen.
Because Gu Zhen's classes have the lowest failure rate every semester.
Gu Zhen said, "I won't continue. I need to rest for a while."
"Oh?" The old dean was somewhat surprised. "You are the most self-disciplined and diligent student. Is there another work arrangement for you to suddenly take a break?"
Gu Zhen said, "I guess so. I'm planning to switch careers and do something else."
The old director asked with surprise and doubt, "What? You've decided to join the Drug Research Institute?"
Several pharmaceutical research institutes have indeed been contacting Gu Zhen recently.
Gu Zhen replied, "No, I plan to become a coach."
"what?"
The old director thought he had misheard. "What coach? A shooting coach? Or a horse riding coach?"
He remembered that Gu Zhen was an excellent equestrian and had won a championship.
Gu Zhen took off his watch, took off his clothes as he went into the bathroom, and said, "I'm a driving instructor."
What the hell?
Gu Zhen hung up the phone and stood under the showerhead, letting the cold water soak his whole body.
He stood motionless under the showerhead, staring blankly at his left hand.
With his eyes closed, Gu Zhen could still recall the feeling of holding hands with Li Xi.
Before anyone knew it, Gu Zhen woke up, his aura fierce and unyielding, a fever that couldn't be extinguished by cold water...

As soon as Li Xi got home, she received a call from the local courier service; the computer office chair she had ordered had arrived.
People who spend long hours working at a desk drawing need to have high standards for their computer chairs. Li Xi had already found a chair she liked, but the Xie family's bedroom was too cramped, so they hadn't bought it yet.
Now that she has her own little home, Li Xi immediately ordered that chair from a local shopping mall.
However, strangers are not allowed to enter the apartment, so the housekeeper asked Li Xi to go downstairs to pick up the person.
Li Xi found it troublesome, so she asked the housekeeper to have a security guard bring it upstairs for her.
The security guard who delivered the chair to Li Xi tonight was very ordinary-looking, far less handsome than the two young men from yesterday afternoon.
But he was very efficient, provided thoughtful and warm service, and even took the initiative to assemble the computer chair for Li Xi.
Before leaving, Li Xi gave each of them a small bag of cookies, which were cranberry cookies that she had baked herself.
The security guard, carrying cookies, bumped into Gu Zhen as soon as he entered the elevator.
Gu Zhen was carrying a small bag containing Patrick Star's sleeping spot.
The nurse said that Patrick Star couldn't sleep well in the hospital, probably because he missed his owner and his cat bed at home.
"Mr. Gu!" The two security guards recognized Gu Zhen and instinctively hid the biscuits behind their backs.
Gu Zhen took a step back. "Let's go together."
The two security guards quickly entered the elevator.
Noticing that they came from room 2201, Gu Zhen asked, "Did you come from Miss Li's house?"
"Yes." The security guard explained respectfully, "Ms. Li bought a computer chair, and we delivered it to her home."
Another security guard, a chatterbox, couldn't help but share his joy: "Ms. Li is a very nice person. We helped her assemble the chair, and she even prepared some cookies for us."
Staring at the cookies in their hands, Gu Zhen suddenly said, "Cookies? I haven't had dinner yet..."
"what?"
