Over the next month, An Qingyan met with Gu Fei several more times, but there was no progress. They didn't even hold hands. No, the progress was too slow. This time, they not only had to hold hands, but also kiss!
An Qingyan lay on the bed looking at her phone, then cleared her throat and sent a voice message to Gu Fei: "Brother Gu Fei, our department is having a party this Friday, and I'll be performing on stage. Do you want to come watch?"
The young man's voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze on one's face. The man listened to it several times, then replied with a voice message: "Okay."
"Yay! He said yes! He said yes!!"
Lu Yuqi, who was playing a game, turned his head and glanced at his friend, who was rolling around on the bed with his blanket, like a mentally challenged child. He looked away in disgust.
Two days later, on Friday.
The music department's gala officially started at seven o'clock. An Qingyan's performance was a piano solo, and he was the third act in the program.
While waiting backstage, he was unusually nervous, not because of stage fright or fear of making mistakes. He had been learning piano since he was six years old, so this kind of scene was nothing special to him. It was just because Gu Fei was in the audience.
On stage, the two elegantly dressed hosts enthusiastically recited their lines, "Next, let's welcome An Qingyan from Class 1612 to perform a piano solo—'A Little Story'!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers and screams erupted from the audience. Some people were even shouting An Qingyan's name. An Qingyan was very famous throughout Nanjing University and had many female fans.
The stage lights were bright. A young man in a black suit walked onto the stage unhurriedly. The expensive, fine fabric accentuated his tall and handsome figure. His fair face was lightly made up, making him look even more refined and handsome, seemingly radiating light under the bright lights. (Remember https://m.)
Audience members shouted loudly:
"An Qingyan, I love you!!"
"Ah! Yan Yan!!"
A smile involuntarily appeared on the young man's face. He looked towards the audience, searching for his target. The next second, he met the man's deep and gentle eyes. Gu Fei was sitting in the middle of the third row, very close to the stage.
The young man's smile deepened. He turned and sat down in front of the black grand piano, placing his long, slender hands on the black and white keys. The stage lights suddenly dimmed, and the clear, soothing piano music filled the room.
The scene fell silent.
Gu Fei stared intently at the people on the stage.
On the dimly lit stage, only one spotlight shone on the young man, like the quiet and gentle moon in the night sky.
His profile was soft, his eyes were slightly lowered, and his expression was focused and serious. His fair and slender fingers danced nimbly on the black and white piano keys, and beautiful and smooth music poured out from his fingertips.
He was so confident, composed, elegant, and noble, like a little prince, attracting everyone's attention.
From beginning to end, Gu Fei's gaze remained fixed on the figure on the stage, unable to look away. Even after the performance ended, a ripple appeared in those deep, calm eyes, revealing a complex mix of emotions.
After An Qingyan left the stage, Gu Fei also left the audience with a bouquet of flowers. Just as he stepped out of the auditorium, his phone lit up. A voice message had been sent from someone whose contact name was "Yan Yan".
He opened the message, and a young man's clear and cheerful voice came through: "Brother Gu Fei, how did I do just now?"
A smile played on the man's lips as he made a voice call. The other party answered quickly, and he said in a gentle voice, "You did very well just now. I like it very much."
An Qingyan: "Really?"
The man's deep, magnetic voice held a hint of amusement. "Really? You're backstage right now?"
An Qingyan: "Yes, you're not in the audience anymore? I want to come find you!"
Gu Fei: "I'm at the entrance of the auditorium."
After hanging up the phone, An Qingyan quickly came out from backstage and jogged towards the entrance of the auditorium. From afar, he saw a tall man with long legs standing under the warm yellow streetlights, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands, looking in his direction.
A joyful smile bloomed on the young woman's beautiful face. She ran to his side, her peach blossom eyes curving into crescents in the night, and happily called out, "Brother Gu Fei!"
"Hmm." Gu Fei responded, looking closely at the person in front of him. The young man took off his suit jacket, revealing a shirt and vest on his upper body, which accentuated his slender waistline, making it appear as if it could be encircled by a single hand.
Gu Fei shifted her gaze and handed the beautifully wrapped bouquet of flowers to An Qingyan, saying, "You played the piano very well."
"Thank you." An Qingyan lowered his head and gently fiddled with the petals, a smile appearing in his eyes and brows. Gu Fei had actually given him flowers, and although they weren't roses, they were still enough to make him happy for a long time.
"It's still early, how about I take you for a walk around the school?" It was a dark and windy night, and there was no one around, so we could take the opportunity to have some physical contact like holding hands.
"good."
There were few people around. The two walked side by side on the school path. The streetlights next to them stretched their two figures, one tall and one short, and their shoulders in the shadows got closer and closer, as if they were merging into one.
Under the hazy moonlight, An Qingyan quietly moved closer to the man. He held flowers in his left hand, and his right hand, which was hanging naturally at his side, moved tentatively, his fingertips lightly touching the man's hand, before he immediately withdrew it.
No, I can't back down!
He cautiously approached again, and just as his fingers were about to touch, a warm temperature suddenly came from his palm. It was Gu Fei, who took his palm in hers!
Gu Fei actually took his hand!
If this isn't love, then what is?
An Qingyan felt his heart pounding wildly, and the joy almost made him lose his mind. He wanted to jump on Gu Fei and kiss him hard on the spot.
But the reality was... He reservedly grasped the man's hand, holding it tightly, his smile impossible to hide, he was so happy he was about to explode!
Just then, a gentle, magnetic male voice came from beside her: "The moon is beautiful tonight."
He turned to look at Gu Fei and noticed a hint of joy and ease in the other's usually cold and aloof eyes. Gu Fei looked less serious, and even his usually indifferent gaze had softened considerably.
An Qingyan gazed at the handsome and mature man before her, his peach blossom eyes seemingly sparkling with stars. His voice was soft and gentle as he said, word by word, "The wind is also very gentle."
It was quiet all around, with no one else around. The chirping of insects came from the grass, and a gentle night breeze caressed my face. It was a perfect combination of timing, location, and people.
It would be a shame not to give them a kiss in this wonderful atmosphere!
Kiss him, kiss him, kiss him!
A little voice was screaming wildly in An Qingyan's mind. He took a deep breath, slowly rose on his tiptoes, and was about to kiss the man's lips in the next second...
Meow~
"..."
The young man silently withdrew his tiptoe.
The man next to her subtly curled his lips into a smile.
A chubby orange tabby cat ran out of the bushes and meowed at them. An Qingyan had fed this cat before, and many classmates had fed it as well. Its name was Pangpang, and the cat lived up to its name.
"Its name is Fatty, I'll go see it." An Qingyan forced a smile, squatted down in front of the orange cat, and patted its chubby head. Fatty, why did you have to ruin my plans at this crucial moment!
Fatty: "Meow!"
"I didn't bring any food." Hmph, I'm not bringing you any more dried fish from now on!
An Qingyan patted the chubby head again in retaliation.
result……
"Ouch! Why did you scratch me!" An Qingyan cried out in pain, a scratch mark on the back of her right hand from the chubby orange cat, while the culprit meowed, looking cute and innocent.
Gu Fei immediately stepped forward, knelt down beside the young man, and took his hand without saying a word, examining it with concern. There was a three-centimeter-long scratch on the back of his fair hand. It wasn't serious, but the skin was broken and a little blood could be seen.
An Qingyan glared fiercely at the chubby orange cat, "You little rascal, I'm so good to you and you still scratch me. I won't give you any more dried fish from now on, I'll give them all to Xiao Hei and Zhuang Zhuang!"
Xiao Hei and Zhuang Zhuang are two other stray cats at the school.
The chubby boy looked wronged and innocent: "Meow~"
A helpless smile flashed in Gu Fei's eyes. "I'll take you to get a rabies vaccine."
Upon hearing this, the young man's handsome face immediately fell, and his clear eyes looked at the man pitifully, "It's just a scratch, I shouldn't need to get a beating, right?"
The man shook his head. "Just in case."
An Qingyan: "How could such a cute little chubby boy have a virus on him?"
Gu Fei: "You look so well-behaved, but you still end up playing tricks on your older brother with your second brother to scare him, don't you?"
An Qingyan: "..." He was unable to refute it.
This is something that can't be let go of, is it?!
At this point, he should play the victim to gain sympathy. He's an expert at this. When he was a child, he could get away with being naughty by acting cute and pitiful with his parents.
He looked at Gu Fei pitifully, and said with an especially pitiful and helpless expression, "But I'm afraid of pain..."
You need to get four or five rabies vaccines!
Seeing his expression, Gu Fei couldn't help but find it amusing, "You're so old and still afraid of pain?"
He remembered that when An Qingyan was a baby, she was very afraid of pain and would always fall down when she walked. She would cry as soon as she fell, and her tears would flow like water. But she could be comforted with a lollipop.
Just like coaxing a baby, Gu Fei raised his hand and rubbed An Qingyan's head, gently coaxing, "Be good, and I'll give you candy as a reward after you get your vaccinations."
An Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then her heart started pounding again. Gu Fei was so gentle at that moment...
His ears turned red. "I don't want candy."
Gu Fei: "Hmm? What does Yan Yan want?"
"Let me think, I want..." The young man drawled out the last syllable, as if keeping someone in suspense, then quickly leaned in and planted a kiss on the man's thin lips, grinning triumphantly, "I want this!"
