The Queen’s Gigolo

After going to so many blind dates, Guo Zhi was already experienced.

Meeting up at three would seamlessly avoid lunch. As for whether they would eat dinner, then it would depend on how the blind date went like. If they liked the other party, then they could say ‘oh, it’s already this time, let’s eat dinner together’, but if they did not like the other person, then a cup of coffee would be enough to send them away.

However, agreeing to meet up at McDonald’s with his income was a bit stingy. The least he could do was meet up at a Starbucks. It would not waste that much money and could make them look better.

However, Guo Zhi did not care. She was already numb to blind dates, and it was only to appease her mother.

She believed that her current state of life was great. Living properly, working hard, earning more money, and living better.

When it was necessary, sleep with a handsome man…

She recalled yesterday’s indulgence, the boy’s healthy and tempting body, the powerful thrusts… Guo Zhi’s mouth curled. She stepped on a bench with one of her feet, unscrewed a bottle of skin lotion, and applied it all over her leg.

She suddenly thought that Alex seemed to especially like her legs…

After he touched her chest, he lingered on her legs for a long time… in the morning, he touched her legs while rubbing her until she woke up, and once he saw that she had woken up, he pressed himself on her…

She stopped her movements and carefully examined her own legs. Long, straight, and the most crucial thing was that the muscles were very strong and firm. Guo Zhi was very satisfied and felt that if she had to choose the part from her body that she liked the most, it would definitely be her legs.

She briefly felt smug and continued rubbing the lotion on her body. She made a note to herself to add butt exercises to her routine. She did not have any hope for her chest since the cup size depended on the genes, but her butt could improve through exercise. Maybe it could even become like Gu Qing Xia’s butt…

…

Sunday afternoon, McDonald’s, Guo Zhi arrived as what was agreed on.

Compared to her all-out makeup from Friday night, it could be seen that Guo Zhi’s attitude toward the blind date was not sincere. She casually picked a T-shirt, paired it with a jeans and canvas shoes, and went. She only applied nude makeup and did not bother using sequin mini dresses or flamboyant lipstick. That was only for certain occasions and could not become part of her daily life.

If it was seen from the perspective of blind dates, Guo Zhi had revealed her real appearance from her daily life to the other party. She personally believed that her attitude was very honest. She also felt that by doing so, she was being more sincere than using makeup that made her look like another person.

Of course, Her Majesty Mom would not think like that. Just for the fact that she did not want to wear skirts, her mother had gotten angry many times and yelled at her.

The other person arrived some minutes before her; it could be considered respectful. His appearance was common, a little bit worse than the trash from before, acceptable to the eyes. After experiencing that trash, Guo Zhi strongly objected to Her Majesty Mom looking for handsome men. Even their way of asking to be friends with benefits was weird!

The man shamelessly asked her if she wanted to eat something. At this time, who would still feel hungry? Adding to that, eating a hamburger in front of a blind date partner? The table would become a mess, heh…

Guo Zhi told him to just randomly order a drink.

He bought a bottle of frothy sweet drink and said while laughing with ‘hehe’s: “You girls just love this sweet stuff.” He also shook his head, acting as if he was spoiling her.

Guo Zhi: “…”

Who is a little girl?

Who likes to drink sweet stuff?

F***! Guo Zhi regretted not having directly asked for a bottle of Coca Cola Zero.

The man was a good talker, and there was never a moment of awkward silence. Guo Zhi also did not want to make it difficult for him, so she replied intermittently.

Asking about work, about family situation, they were all normal in a blind date. The man explained his situation first, putting special emphasis on his income as being ‘higher than the ten thousand (yuan) level’. Guo Zhi stirred the ice cream in her drink with her head lowered, and complimented him with a: “Oh, not bad.”

The other party asked for hers, and she only responded with a: “Similar to yours.”

She could sense that the income from the man was not higher than hers. Before going to a blind date, the matchmaker would tell the other person about her circumstances. However, everything that the matchmaker knew was told to her by her mother, and the information that her mother had in her hands was her salary from two years ago.

As her job position grew higher and the projects in her hands accumulated, the income she had presently was completely different from that time. It was just that she was not willing to tell her mother about it. If she did, it would only become another bargaining chip for her mother to add value to her in the blind date market.

The feeling of being weighed per pound would become even stronger.

This man was not only a good talker, but also smart. He also gave Guo Zhi a feeling that he was excessively smart.

After finishing the very sweet drink, her throat felt uncomfortable. She wanted to hurry back home to drink a cup of plain water. When she saw that the man had the intention of continuing to talk, she used the movement of constantly looking at her watch to hint at the other person.

The result was that what he noticed was the watch.

“Oh, your watch is Piaget?” The man’s eyes lit up.

Guo Zhi paused and said: “Yes, my friend gifted it to me.”

This watch was given to her by Gu Qing Xia on her birthday.

It was not part of a high-end series; the price was higher than ten thousand (yuan), and it could only be considered part of the low-end series of that brand. But that price was something that Guo Zhi could afford, because if Gu Qing Xia gave her a gift like this, she would return one of a similar price range. Gu Qing Xia’s gifts were also selected carefully.

The maintenance of a relationship did not only depend on having the same ideals, but the economic level also had to be similar.

“Your friend is really rich huh.” The man’s word carried some envy, but it also contained unsatisfaction. Those emotions made Guo Zhi feel a bit of disgust.

She started off with the money her parents had given to her when she came to the capital, so she had experienced what it was like to make ends meet with her salary and still needing the help from her parents. ‘Salary past ten thousand (yuan)’ seemed very impressive when hearing about it, but in the capital city, if it was just above ten thousand, it would only be enough to have a well-fed life. Taking taxis, going to restaurants, and going to outlets to buy discounted brand products. If someone wanted to live a more luxurious life and buy brand goods, it was definitely not enough. If one had a car, then it was not possible to maintain an expensive car.

That was why, Guo Zhi understood the struggles of life. Having a blind date in McDonald’s, buying her a 10-yuan drink, she was okay with all of that.

But did he have the right to judge the gift given by her friend?

‘Rich’? What type of adjective was ‘rich’? It sounded awkward.

Guo Zhi pressed down the feeling of unhappiness in her heart, glanced at her watch, and reminded the man: “It’s already past four.”

“Oh.” The man understood Guo Zhi’s meaning, but he did not say anything related to dinner. Just like that, they separated.

Not even dinner, so this… this means that he did not like me, right? Heh…

Guo Zhi went home with a light heart.

Going to a blind date was even more tiring than writing a week’s plan proposal. That type of tiredness came from the mind.

She ate out before returning home.

She took a shower and opened her fridge. She had no vegetables in her refrigerator, at most some fruits. The rest were snacks, soda, and wine.

She took out a large IKEA glass. First, she poured gin at the bottom, then, she put in some ice cubes, after, she cut some slices of lemon and threw them in, and finally, she poured a can of tonic water. She laid on the sofa while hugging the large glass. In the heat of the summer, it was cool and refreshing.

Just look at that, the life of a single person was so good!

She watched the TV for a while and surfed through the channels. Whatever drama was hot in the moment was broadcasted in them.

She watched for a long time, got bored, and grabbed her phone to scroll through it. She checked new posts in Weibo, replied some messages, and pressed ‘like’ in Moment posts. She returned to the chatting section, saw that her chat with Alex was high up, unconsciously opened it, and sent him a message: [What are you doing?]

After sending it, she immediately regretted it.

She knew that Alex wanted something. Since they had already slept together, they could probably become friends with benefits in the future. In fact, their relationship fell into an even more casual category.

They slept on Friday and had also talked on Saturday. She really should not have contacted him so fast.

Even if she contacted him, she should not have sent him a message like ‘What are you doing?’. Guo Zhi really wanted to hit herself.

Because… it was said that the best reply to that question was ‘I’m talking with you, this fool’…

Guo Zhi really did not know what she was thinking of just now. She really had never ever asked that stupid question to another person online. When she thought about how Alex would probably laugh at her when he saw the message…

Guo Zhi stared at the screen. When she was seriously considering if she should delete it, Alex replied.

Alex: [Thinking about you. *^_^*]

Guo Zhi: “…” Okay, it was much better than ‘Talking with you’.

Her mood turned better, and she became interested, so she teased the little fresh meat: [Which part of me are you thinking of?]

Alex replied rapidly: [Legs…]

Immediately after came another reply: [Just now when I was taking a shower, I was thinking about them… ( / / ▽ / / )]

Guo Zhi: “…”

The old woman who was teasing the little fresh meat failed, and instead was counter teased. When she saw ‘shower’ and ‘( / / ▽ / / )’, she immediately began to imagine, and her body started to feel hot and restless.

She did not know what she should reply with, so she simply returned a ‘oh’. It was said to be… the best way of ending a conversation.

Contrary to what was expected, it did not deter Alex, and he pursued with another message: “Sister Guo, do you want me to go?”

Guo Zhi looked at the time, struggled for a long while, and finally replied: [Don’t. Tomorrow is Monday. I need to attend a reunion and wake up early.]

Alex first replied with a disappointed ‘oh…’ and then sent another message: [Okay sister Guo, rest early. I’ll sleep too. *^_^*]

Sleep?

Just hold on for a moment!

If you insist on coming, I would not be able to refuse you and would kindly allow you to come, ahhh!

Guo Zhi: “…” Next time I must teach this kid properly about the phrase ‘strong women are afraid of insisting men’, and about not giving up easily! Hmph, even though I’m probably not considered a strong woman… but you cannot turn back just because someone tells you a ‘no’, you foolish kid!

Her mind thought about the image of the boy’s naked body while showering. She increasingly felt restless and felt that it was definitely because she added more gin than necessary! Only one more sentence would have been enough!

She also thought about how their bodies had entangled two days before, his slim waist, and how it moved…

The last thing she thought about was how, under the lights of the dancing floor, the boy had rubbed against her, bit her earlobe, and said “I’m hard”…

Guo Zhi felt her waist soften.

She dragged her restless body and turned around in the sofa…

Rest in peace.

Amen.
