Chapter 14 Encounter



The black Maybach was still driving on the street, the cabin was quiet except for the sound of snacks being rummaged through.

An Yu rummaged through the storage box and took out two small cakes. She opened the packaging bag, opened her mouth wide, and ate them one by one.

Two small cakes weren't even enough to fill his teeth, so An Yu continued flipping through the box. Finally, looking at the two vintage-packaged preserved plum candies in his hand, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Fei, I didn't know you liked this kind of candy. Are you nostalgic? I didn't know that."

He said jokingly, playing with the two candies between his fingers, then casually peeled one and popped it into his mouth, his cheeks puffing out slightly. "I must say, it's pretty good. It reminds me of the wonderful times when I used to pull the pigtails of the girl in front of me in elementary school."

Gu Fei glanced at him out of the corner of her eye but didn't say anything.

An Yu has always been a restless person and a chatterbox. He used to dislike being with Gu Fei the most. Gu Fei was a quiet person who pretended to be profound at a young age. If Gu Fei answered one out of ten questions, it would be considered a favor from Master Gu.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was mute.

I feel so suffocated.

For example, right now, after a minute of silence, An Yu couldn't help but move closer to Gu Fei and asked with a smile, "Brother Fei, do you know what people outside are saying about you?"

“They all say you’re frigid, that you’re not good in that area.” As she spoke, An Yu glanced meaningfully at a certain part of Gu Fei’s body. “Brother Fei, we’ve known each other for so many years, why are you being so formal? Tell your brother, let me have a good laugh.”

An Yu wasn't just making this up. The guy next to her was great in every way—good family background, good looks, good physique—but his facial nerves were underdeveloped. She'd never seen him make any exaggerated expressions, and he rarely even smiled; he was commonly known as having facial paralysis.

Oh...right, he's also mute.

Aside from facial paralysis and being mute, he seems to have no other flaws, but this man has remained single for over twenty years without a companion.

When An Yu was in a relationship during junior high school, Gu Fei was single.

When An Yu broke up with her first love, Gu Fei was single.

When An Yu was cheated on by her Nth boyfriend, Gu Fei was still single.

When An Yu was deeply in love and finally saw through the illusions of the world and understood the true meaning of love, Gu Fei was still single.

...

Well, that's pretty impressive. Staying true to your original aspirations is the key to success.

An Yu silently gave him a thumbs up.

Gu Fei's perpetually indifferent face finally cracked a little. He pursed his lips, tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and suddenly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

He said coldly, "Get out of the car."

"Don't take it that way, bro. I was just kidding. You're taking it seriously. I'm doing this for your own good. If you're sick, you have to get treatment. You can't avoid seeing a doctor..."

An Yu's nagging voice rang in his ears, but Gu Fei didn't hear a word. His gaze was fixed on a certain spot on the street to his right. A strange emotion flashed in his deep, calm, and indifferent eyes, like a pebble falling into an ancient well, causing ripples.

A bench for pedestrians to rest was placed on the side of the street, next to a street lamp. The boy sat there, his slender body dressed in a simple round-neck T-shirt and jeans, with a suitcase in front of him.

He leaned slightly forward, his arm resting on the handle of his suitcase, a white steamed bun in his hand, eating it in small bites while watching the cars and pedestrians passing by on the street.

From Gu Fei's perspective, the warm yellow streetlights enveloped the boy, making his features somewhat blurry, but his small figure looked exceptionally lonely, like a homeless stray cat, evoking pity.
