The first thing Liu Nian did upon returning was to knock on Gu Minhang's door.
Gu Minhang doesn't seem to be home; I knocked on the door but no one answered.
"System, isn't the male lead home?"
System: "Host, no male lead's presence detected."
That means he's not home.
Liu Nian returned home and took out her phone to send a message to Gu Minhang.
Liu Nian: [I'm back. I went to look for you, but you weren't home.]
Gu Minhang seemed to be busy with something and hadn't replied to the messages.
Liu Nian scrolled through her phone listlessly.
She doesn't like watching dramas, and she doesn't really enjoy playing games.
The only goal I'm pursuing right now is Gu Minhang; he's the driving force behind my current situation.
Perhaps I was just too bored, because I fell asleep while scrolling through the pages of "Fleeting Years".
I woke up at around 4 p.m.
She picked up the phone in a daze and glanced at it.
Gu Minhang replied to her message three hours ago.
【Year after year】
[I was busy and didn't see the message]
[Because you didn't tell me what time you'd be back, and I had something come up and had to go out.]
Another half hour passed, and probably still hadn't received any news from Liu Nian, so he sent several more messages in a row.
[Year after year (struggling)]
I'll be back in a bit!
【I bought you something delicious (pampering)】
A few minutes later…
【Year after year, I'm going back!】
I bought you a cake.
More than half an hour later...
【Year after year, I'm home】
[Are you home, Niannian? I'll come upstairs to get you.]
Two more minutes passed...
[Voice call {No response from the other party}]
[Video call {The other party has canceled}]
【Year after year!】
[(Feeling wronged) Don't ignore me]
[I apologize, I'm at your door, can you open it?]
:【Please】
These messages were all from more than three hours ago.
Liu Nian was stunned. She looked at her phone, which was on silent mode, and felt a little frantic.
I told you so! He sent a message and made a phone call; even if she was sound asleep, she should have been able to hear it!
I wonder how Gu Minhang is feeling right now!
She didn't care about anything else; her hair was a little messy, but since it was already a wavy hairstyle, it didn't look too obvious.
She rushed out of the room without even putting on her shoes properly, intending to go downstairs to find someone to explain.
To her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a stunningly handsome young man leaning against the wall by her door, his expression somewhat gloomy.
Upon hearing the door open, his eyes lit up. He stood up straight immediately, a mixture of joy and nervousness on his face, looking at Liu Nian with a pitiful expression.
"Year after year." The voice was low and soft, with a hint of caution.
Liu Nian's mind cleared instantly. "What are you doing here!"
After saying that, he realized it wasn't right, so he raised his hand and lightly patted his mouth, then changed his words.
"Have you been waiting here all this time?"
Gu Minhang saw her patting her mouth with a strange expression, swallowed hard, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
He gave a soft "hmm," and looking at Liu Nian, his expression remained pitiful and aggrieved.
Liu Nian scratched his hair and stepped aside to let him in: "Come in quickly."
With her permission, Gu Minhang smiled happily. "Okay."
After he came in, Liu Nian closed the door, looked at her shoe cabinet, and found no shoes that men might wear. She felt a little embarrassed.
"No need to change, just go in."
Gu Minhang looked at the two pairs of cute women's slippers on the shoe cabinet, which seemed to be different sizes.
"Do you have someone else living with you?"
Liu Nian knew he had seen the shooting star's shoes.
"No, it's just me, but my sister comes over sometimes."
Hearing her say that, Gu Minhang remained calm, and his expression even seemed more pleased.
Which pair are yours? I'll wear yours.
Liu Nian looked at his shoes, then at her own; they were different sizes. "The white rabbit ones are mine. Wear them if you can."
Gu Minhang changed his shoes, but they were too big for him, with most of his heels sticking out. However, he didn't mind at all and was even a little careful, afraid of stretching them out.
Liu Nian looked at his somewhat comical way of walking and couldn't help but laugh.
"It's a bit small, haha..."
He nodded: "But it's very comfortable."
Liu Nian: "..." She couldn't tell.
The two sat on the sofa, and Liu Nian poured him a glass of water.
She then explained why she hadn't replied to his messages.
"I fell asleep when I got back today, and I forgot to turn my phone off the silent mode."
Gu Minhang didn't blame her; on the contrary, he felt a sense of relief.
He said, sounding a little aggrieved, "I thought you were angry, that's why you weren't replying to me."
"How could that be!" Liu Nian quickly denied, then blurted out, "Even if I'm angry with someone else, I'll never be angry with Gu."
Upon hearing this, the latter smiled.
He really enjoyed listening to Liu Nian say these things to him; it instantly lifted his spirits and gave him a strange, sweet feeling.
However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied, frowning as he looked at her: "You still get angry with other people!"
Liu Nian: "..." No way!
Liu Nian's mind raced, and she uttered a seemingly nonsensical statement: "Others are none of my business, but Gu's business is what concerns me."
Gu Minhang was satisfied: "Are you hungry? I bought your favorite food and left it downstairs. Do you want to bring it up or come down to eat?"
Liu Nian found it troublesome and decided to go downstairs to eat: "Let's go downstairs to eat!"
The two ate something, and Liu Nian ate quite a lot, feeling a bit full. She thought she would have to take some digestive pills as soon as she got back.
