Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Confessing to the Girl I Like and Getting Caught by Her Four Brothers

Has he been too familiar with the routine lately?

Gu Zhi pressed her lips together, didn’t lie, and truthfully nodded, opening the door, "Not yet."

However, the man didn’t rush in; instead, he handed the flowers in his hand to her. His usually cool and clear voice was now somewhat hoarse and awkward as he said:

"Teacher Gu Zhi, these flowers are for you."

After he said that, he paused, his deep eyes fixed on the girl’s delicate face, and continued: "Although it may seem abrupt and sudden, I have to admit, from the moment of the Micro Light audition shoot, I was captivated by you. In the past half of my life, I hadn’t experienced what it means to be moved, to like someone, or to miss someone, but with you, I seem to have felt all that. And, I’m very clear about what I want. Perhaps Teacher Gu Zhi has also sensed it.

I just don’t know if Teacher Gu Zhi is willing to give me a chance?"

When he said the final sentence, his throat inexplicably tightened, and his tone became even more tense and stilted.

Gu Zhi was momentarily stunned.

In two lifetimes, she had received quite a number of confessions, of all kinds.

But in the end, she swiftly and decisively rejected them all.

It’s just that this time, she inexplicably felt something different, but couldn’t pinpoint it.

He was smart, not hiding his intentions at all, and at the same time cutting off her retreat of pretending to be unaware.

She slightly lowered her eyes, looked at the flowers in his hands, and remained silent for a while.

Finally, she still decisively refused: "Sorry, I can’t give this opportunity."

She lifted her eyes, her black eyes bright and clear, "Currently, my work is on the rise, there are still many things unfinished, and I don’t have any thoughts in this regard, so I can only disappoint Emperor Qi’s kind intentions."

Qi Hanyu paused for a moment, his breath stopping for a few seconds, his heart like being pierced by something.

But it didn’t surprise him; he knew this confession wouldn’t succeed, she seemed to have no intention towards him, either.

He regrettably smiled, thinking he’d have to try harder next time, and said in a calm tone, "Then, can I pursue you? Rest assured, as long as it doesn’t disturb your boundaries—"

He hadn’t finished speaking when his voice was suddenly cut off, and heavy footsteps arose around them.

Qi Hanyu turned his head, looked back, and saw a few tall figures standing not far away. Their tall and upright figures were extremely oppressive, like guardians, staring at him with eyes as sharp as daggers, swords, and eagles.

Qin Ji, Qin Yuan, Qin Zheng, and Qin Mo had all come, each holding various-sized things in their hands.

And their eyes were cold and vigilant, like daggers aimed at the man who dared have designs on their sister!

Gu Zhi: "..."

Qi Hanyu: "..."

What’s it like to confess to someone you like only to be caught in the act by her four brothers?

And Qin Ji, Qin Zheng, and the others’ expressions turned from the expectation and joy from just moments earlier to disappointment and anger.

However, they didn’t say anything, except for Qin Ji, who cautiously stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what Emperor Qi intends by standing in front of my sister’s door at night?"

The tone wasn’t exactly friendly.

Qi Hanyu was also somewhat surprised, recognizing him at a glance. In just a month, his change was significant, his aura entirely different from before.

Qi Hanyu pressed his lips together, was he supposed to speak the truth? Otherwise, he worried about not getting back safely tonight.

He calmly said, "Surely you’ve just heard; I was only exercising my rights and asking Zhi Zhi’s wishes."

At the mention of Zhi Zhi, the brothers’ faces simultaneously darkened, their brows furrowed.

Gu Zhi didn’t wait for Qin Ji to speak, immediately breaking the awkward atmosphere, "Why are you here?"

Qin Zheng and Qin Mo quickly walked to her, trying to create a human wall to isolate the unrelated man, softening their tone:

"Here to celebrate your birthday. Didn’t we miss your birthday? But didn’t expect to come across this scene—" Qin Zheng faced her directly, "I ordered your favorite flavor cake, want to try it?"

Gu Zhi: "..."

She sensed the smoke between them, taking this opportunity to introduce, "This is my friend, Qi Hanyu, Emperor Qi. You should have met, these are my big brother, second brother, third brother, and younger brother."

"Never met," Qin Zheng showed no courtesy, only squeezing Gu Zhi, trying to make her go in first.

Qin Ji was more polite, despite being a brother, he didn’t want anyone making moves on his sister, but ultimately, the other party had taken good care of Zhi Zhi’s parents on the show a few days ago.

He raised his hand neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I’ve long heard of you; I’m Zhi Zhi’s big brother, Qin Ji."

"Likewise, I’ve heard a lot about you, I’ve often seen you in the financial reports." Qi Hanyu shook hands, using "you," turned to look at Qin Yuan and Qin Mo, nodding politely, "The Qin family really is full of talents, I heard there was another science top scorer."

Qin Yuan looked indifferent, nodding politely, while Qin Mo coldly glanced at him, saying nothing.

But suddenly remembered hearing about the rice dumplings when discussing on the show with their third brother, Qin Mo thought of something, his hostility towards him increasing.

Qin Zheng then urged anxiously, "Aren’t we going in? The dishes will get cold in a while, Zhi Zhi mustn’t have eaten yet!"

Everyone snapped back to reality, and Gu Zhi hurriedly invited them in. She glanced at Qi Hanyu, asking, "Want to join us?"

The man hesitated for a moment, really wanting to join but withstood four resistant gazes, he could only refuse against his will, "No, a birthday should indeed be spent with family, but these flowers..."

He hadn’t handed them over before Qin Yuan directly reached out to take them, "Thanks, I’ll help Zhi Zhi look after them, and find a vase to put them in later."

Qi Hanyu: "..."

He couldn’t say much more, only bid farewell to Gu Zhi, turned to walk across, his gaze landing on them but inexplicably feeling helpless and powerless.

The road ahead will be long and challenging... It seems the path ahead won’t be easy.

Gu Zhi also felt somewhat helpless, she didn’t expect their resistance to be so strong.

But before she could say anything, she was pushed inside by them.

Qin Zheng was still quite relieved, "Luckily we arrived in time, or who knows what would have happened! Zhi Zhi, having a man living right across from you is really dangerous!"

Gu Zhi tugged at her lips, "..."

Qi Hanyu is still a popular figure; what do they take him for?

Qin Ji didn’t say anything, just quickly unpacked the food they brought, as well as the balloons, streamers, gifts, and flowers they bought, decorating them one by one.

Gu Zhi watched in astonishment, were they planning to hold a birthday party here?

However, they didn’t bring much, just adding a bit of atmosphere to the living room. Qin Ji quickly took out his gift, handing it to her, "Zhi Zhi, it’s a pity we didn’t make it in time for your birthday, but I hope you feel happy every day, just like on your birthday."
