Chapter 28 I Love You
Gu Cunxi had been practicing the piano sheet music since breakfast. Seeing the time had passed in the blink of an eye, it was already past two o'clock. Manager Shi asked those who had performances to arrive at three o'clock. Thinking of this, Gu Cunxi hurriedly got up, chose a Bvlgari black ceramic necklace from the jewelry box, opened the wardrobe and took out a white shirt and a black turtleneck inner wear, chose a pair of eight-point slim straight jeans, and matched them with a pair of black ankle boots. Looking at himself in the mirror, Gu Cunxi smiled with satisfaction.
She hopes Xiao Peiyin can see the best version of herself!
Gu Cunxi looked at her watch. It was almost time. She walked to the balcony and carefully put the guitar into the case. She stood up and walked out the door.
Today's sunshine was particularly bright. Gu Cunxi took out his sunglasses from his bag, put the guitar case in the back seat, and started the car to drive towards the Crown Hotel.
After Xiao Peiyin left Gu Cunxi's community, she took a taxi to the annual meeting venue. She wanted to see Gu Cunxi earlier, so she waited for her arrival at the hotel entrance.
Gu Cunxi drove very fast along the way. She was looking forward to the annual party in the evening, because during that song, Pei Yin's eyes would only be on her, without paying attention to others. Thinking of this, she secretly laughed at herself in her heart. She had made such careful preparations, just so that the person she loved could look at her for a moment. When would she be so humble because of love...
After a while, the car drove into the Crown Hotel. Gu Cunxi saw Xiao Peiyin standing at the door from a distance. She was tall and graceful, but she looked a little lonely.
As the sunlight shone down, her whole body seemed to be glowing. Gu Cunxi smiled and shook her head. This was probably the case that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. At a certain moment just now, Xiao Peiyin was like a beam of light in her eyes, bright and dazzling!
Because she had been standing at the door for a long time, the breeze blowing across her body made Xiao Peiyin feel a little cold. She looked up at the hotel entrance and was surprised to find that Gu Cunxi's car was parked there quietly. In just a moment, her heart skipped a beat and began to beat violently!
Watching Gu Cunxi's slender figure getting out of the car, her flowing long hair blowing in the wind, the black sunglasses on her face made her look mysterious and cold. She was very different today, elegant with a bit of sassiness, her loose shirt was only half-buttoned, revealing the base shirt underneath, the necklace on her chest sparkled in the sun, sexy and charming!
She is really beautiful! Xiao Peiyin sighed in her heart, her eyes gradually lost in thought.
Gu Cunxi watched Xiao Peiyin walk over quickly, then stood in front of her and said, "You came so early, I thought you would be late. I have a show tonight, so I came here early to go through the motions!"
"Well, I didn't have anything to do at home, so I came over to see if there was anything I could help with!" Xiao Peiyin forced herself not to look at her. Her tone was calm, but her heart was stirring as Gu Cunxi approached...
Gu Cunxi glanced at Xiao Peiyin. Her tone was so cold that no emotion could be heard. It seemed that he was truly unattractive in front of her, which was why she didn't even look at him...
This reaction made Gu Cunxi feel disappointed, and his tone became cold as he said, "Well, then I'll go in first!"
After saying that, Gu Cunxi withdrew her gaze and turned to leave. The moment she left, Xiao Peiyin turned her head to look at her back, her eyes dark. Just now, because of Gu Cunxi's approach, her heart was so nervous that she could hardly breathe. She didn't dare to look at Gu Cunxi's face, for fear that she would be captivated by just one glance, and even more afraid that Gu Cunxi would notice the friendship in her eyes that was difficult to hide...
The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time gradually collapsed, and the suffocating pain in her heart came back. Even her body felt a little weak and wanted to fall down. Xiao Peiyin leaned against the door, lowered her head, and stared at the tip of her shoes in a daze.
As she approached the inner field, Gu Cunxi completely lost the expectations she had when she came here just now. She was upset and couldn't help but ask herself, was this wishful thinking really causing her trouble, which was why she was so cold and kept her at a distance?
For the last time! After tonight, put your heart away! Stay away from her, give her a peaceful life, and never disturb her again!
"Director Gu!"
The sudden voice interrupted Gu Cunxi's thoughts. She turned around and saw that the person who spoke was Shi Qingxian.
"Manager Shi, I just came over."
"Me too. The rehearsal is scheduled for three o'clock. Just a quick walkthrough. How's your program preparation going?"
"I'm ready. There's no problem with tonight. I won't be attending the rehearsal. Just let me know once you've arranged the order of performance!"
Gu Cunxi didn't expect Pei Yin to come so early. She didn't want her to see her show in advance, so she rejected Shi Qingxian's request for rehearsal.
"It's all right. If you're okay with that, I won't schedule you for the rehearsal. As for the order of appearance, Director Gu will be the last one. I'm really looking forward to you being the finale."
Gu Cunxi smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem. Is there anything else you need to prepare for the scene? I can help."
Shi Qingxian paused, looking thoughtful, and looked at the scene. He suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, there are. Because we were in such a hurry, we didn't have time to buy some things, and the hotel is not responsible for providing them. We need to prepare some balloons and gift bags."
"Okay, I'll take care of these. I'll go buy them right away!" Gu Cunxi checked the time, searched the nearby map, and was about to leave when he suddenly turned to Shi Qingxian and said, "By the way, leave this guitar here for now. Manager Shi, please take care of it for me!"
Shi Qingxian looked at the guitar case in front of him, reached out and touched the pattern on it, and said, "What a delicate and beautiful guitar case! It looks very valuable. I'll take it to the hotel front desk and store it for you. Just remember to pick it up from the front desk tonight!"
Gu Cunxi smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Manager Shi."
At the hotel entrance, Xiao Peiyin stood there for a long time, lost in thought. Gu Cunxi approached her, hesitated for a moment, and gently called her, "Why are you standing here? Aren't you going in?"
“!”
"Oh..." Xiao Peiyin came back to her senses and looked at Gu Cunxi. Her eyes lost focus for a moment, and she quickly looked away and said, "I want to get some fresh air here!"
There was a long silence...
The two stood side by side in silence for a long while before Gu Cunxi spoke: "Um... Manager Shi asked me to help buy some balloons and gift bags. Do you know where to find them around here?"
"There seems to be a gift shop on Sanfu Road, not far from here."
"Hmm..." Gu Cunxi nodded, wrote down the address and said, "Got it, thank you!"
After saying that, Gu Cunxi was ready to leave. Xiao Peiyin felt her alienation from him, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable. He anxiously wanted to rush over and hug her, but he still suppressed the desire in his heart. He just stood there quietly and hugged his arms tightly, so hard that his knuckles turned white.
Seeing Gu Cunxi's figure getting farther and farther away, Xiao Peiyin couldn't help but shout, "Cunxi!"
Gu Cunxi suddenly stopped and didn't look back...
"Do you need me to go with you?"
Her pleasant voice sounded behind him. Gu Cunxi frowned, surprised that she would call him. If she was willing to accompany him, of course she would be willing. There was no reason to refuse. She might never be able to say no to Xiao Peiyin!
Gu Cunxi was silent for a while, without turning around, and said, "If... you don't have anything to do, then come along and help me lead the way!"
Seeing Gu Cunxi nodded in agreement, Xiao Peiyin unconsciously curled the corners of her lips, and her heart seemed to be blooming with a sea of flowers, suddenly becoming gorgeous and bright.
She calmed herself down and ran to Gu Cunxi's side. They walked side by side to the car.
Chen Jiamao just came back from outside. As soon as he walked to the door of the hotel, he saw a familiar car. He looked at the license plate number and confirmed that it was Gu Cunxi. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth instantly.
Gu Cunxi was about to drive out of the hotel when he saw Chen Jiamao standing in front of his car. He frowned and honked the horn. Seeing that he had no intention of avoiding him and just stood there quietly looking at him, Gu Cunxi looked displeased.
"Cunxi! Are you here to see me?" Chen Jiamao walked to the main driving seat and looked at Gu Cunxi, who had a gloomy face in the car. He wanted to laugh more and more.
"The company's annual meeting is here... Let's go buy something!" Gu Cunxi responded coldly.
"What a coincidence, it seems we are destined to meet!"
"..." Xiao Peiyin sat aside, feeling uncomfortable with Chen Jiamao's proactive approach to her.
"I have something else to do, I'm leaving first!"
Just as she was about to start the car, Gu Cunxi heard the car alarm sounding, indicating that the rear door was not closed. She turned around and saw that Chen Jiamao had already opened the door and got in...
“…”
"Chen Jiamao! I have something important to do today, so I don't have time to accompany you to visit Jianghuai City!" Gu Cunxi's tone was filled with displeasure. He had hoped to be alone with Xiao Peiyin, but Chen Jiamao appeared like a ghost...
"It's okay, I won't disturb you. Since you want to buy something, I can be your porter for free!" Chen Jiamao smiled evilly, as if he was determined to rely on Gu Cunxi.
"you…"
Seeing Chen Jiamao lingering behind and refusing to leave, Gu Cunxi was helpless and didn't know what to say. Because of Mr. Xu, she couldn't just kick him out of the car...
The air in the car froze instantly. The three of them sat in silence. Xiao Peiyin glanced at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit and looked refined, but there was a hint of evil charm on the corner of his mouth that didn't match his appearance...
This person should be the man who met Gu Cunxi yesterday. Thinking of his admiration for Gu Cunxi, Xiao Peiyin felt suffocated.
The car was parked there for a long time. The security guard at the exit came over and stopped in front of Gu Cunxi's car. He asked softly, "Girl, are you... going to leave?"
"Um, sorry, I'll leave now!" Gu Cunxi came back to his senses, glanced at the rearview mirror, curled his lips, and started the car.
No one spoke along the way, and the atmosphere in the car was frozen.
"Turn right at the next intersection and you'll arrive!" Xiao Peiyin pointed at the intersection ahead and said
Sound Storage Gift Shop!
Gu Cunxi glanced in the direction of Pei Yin's finger. She liked this name!
The car is parked at the door
Chen Jiamao had been following Gu Cunxi since they got off the car. Xiao Peiyin saw this and felt incredibly sad. It was obvious that he really liked Gu Cunxi...
The store is small and warmly decorated. There are all kinds of exquisite and lovely gifts on the shelves. Gu Cunxi walked towards the shelf where the gift bags were placed. The large and small, different shapes and colors made her dizzy.
Let’s just choose one. I wonder what color Pei Yin likes?
Gu Cunxi turned around and looked at the person not far away. After thinking about it, he decided not to ask her.
Among the colorful gift bags, Gu Cunxi immediately fell in love with the cool grey one with gold hot stamping. She likes things with cool colors, which are high-end and textured.
After counting the number of people in the company, she took 37 and walked to the cashier. She glanced at Xiao Peiyin and found her staring blankly at the gift shelf. Gu Cunxi walked over and saw Xiao Peiyin's eyes fell on a crystal ball craft. When she turned the ball, the white snowflakes inside would gently fall. In the snow, there were two women hugging each other tightly.
She likes this? Gu Cunxi thought secretly in his heart, but aren't there two women here?
"What are you looking at?" Gu Cunxi asked softly.
Xiao Peiyin came back to her senses after hearing the voice and found Gu Cunxi standing next to her. He leaned over and approached her. Her body tensed up instantly and she froze in place: "No...nothing, just looking around. Now that you've bought something, let's go!"
She stepped aside Gu Cunxi and walked out, but she kept thinking about the crystal ball on the shelf. She wanted to buy it, but if she did, Gu Cunxi would inevitably be suspicious! She told her that she didn't like women, but she bought a crystal ball with two women hugging each other. Isn't this too contradictory...
Gu Cunxi walked to the cashier to pay, but Chen Jiamao stepped forward and snatched Gu Cunxi's phone, handed him his
"Chen Jiamao!"
"I like you to call me by my name instead of Mr. Chen!" Chen Jiamao curled his lips and smiled evilly.
“…”
Gu Cunxi felt like a scholar meeting a soldier at this moment. From yesterday till now, no matter how he refused, he was always so lukewarm.
Xiao Peiyin stood at the door, watching the two of them. Her heart felt like it was on fire, but she couldn't say anything. Holding back the pain, she retracted her gaze and pushed the door open, unwilling to watch any longer! Even one more second would be unbearable for her!
After paying the bill, Chen Jiamao took the full gift bag and put it into the car
"The money for the gift bag just now!" Gu Cunxi took out the cash and handed it to Chen Jiamao, his tone distant and a little unhappy.
"I don't accept cash... If you want to give it to me, please transfer it to me via WeChat!" Chen Jiamao said with a smile
“…”
It turned out that he was waiting for him here. This person really planned everything he did. Gu Cunxi thought
"I've given you the money, it's up to you whether you accept it or not!"
After that, Gu Cunxi got in the car and prepared to start the car to return to the venue. Chen Jiamao was afraid that Gu Cunxi would do the same thing as last night, so he quickly opened the car door and got in.
For some reason, Gu Cunxi kept thinking about the crystal ball. The two women hugging each other in it seemed to have a magical power that made her not want to leave. Thinking of this, she opened the car door and walked back into the gift shop. She picked up the magical little thing from the shelf, bought it, and carefully put it into her bag.
Seeing Gu Cunxi return to the car, Xiao Peiyin wanted to ask her where she had been, but she swallowed the words.
…
At the hotel entrance, Chen Jiamao got out of the car first, opened the door for Gu Cunxi, and said with a smile: "Cunxi! I won't disturb your annual meeting tonight. I hope you have fun!"
“!”
Gu Cunxi originally thought that Chen Jiamao would follow him, but he didn't expect him to be so sensible. He was a little surprised for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Mr. Chen, please do as you please!"
“…”
"Cunxi, I hope that my intrusion just now did not leave you with a bad impression. I have no ill intentions, and I have no calculations. I just want to spend more time with you so that you can slowly get to know me. If I have disturbed you just now, please don't mind! Okay?" Chen Jiamao put away his joking tone and said seriously
Seeing that Gu Cunxi didn't respond, Chen Jiamao said, "Then I'll go in first. I wish you all the best at the annual meeting tonight, Gu Cunxi! We have a long way to go!"
After saying this, Chen Jiamao did not stop and turned to walk towards the hotel. Gu Cunxi was a little unhappy because of Chen Jiamao's appearance along the way, but after he said this, the unhappiness in his heart gradually subsided.
"Let's go!" Gu Cunxi looked at Xiao Peiyin. She stood there with a blank expression on her face. Her nonchalant look made Gu Cunxi feel even more disappointed...
She was indifferent to Chen Jiamao's appearance...
The two of them walked towards the banquet hall, gift bags in hand. Xiao Peiyin's heart was in a knot along the way. She had something to ask Gu Cunxi, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. It made her heart ache...
How could I ask her? Ask her if she thinks Chen Jiamao is okay? Or ask her if she would consider giving Chen Jiamao a chance to pursue her?
Forget it! I'm not qualified to ask! Xiao Peiyin sighed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Gu Cunxi keenly noticed Xiao Peiyin's depression and asked in a gentle tone.
"Um?"
"You seem to be worried?"
"No…"
"Mr. Chen! It seems quite good..." Xiao Peiyin tightened the bag in her hand and said while biting her lip.
"What did you say?" Gu Cunxi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard her. She had just said that Chen Jiamao was good, as if she was deliberately trying to get him to consider Chen Jiamao...
"He... likes you very much!" Xiao Peiyin said timidly
Gu Cunxi heard this sentence clearly. She wanted to laugh at what Pei Yin wanted to convey to her. She already understood...
I feel so cold! This woman clearly knows that the person she likes is her, but she still says such words...
The more Gu Cunxi thought about it, the angrier she became. The grievance in her heart suddenly surged up. Xiao Peiyin's obvious push towards her was even more painful than not accepting her at all...
Seeing Gu Cunxi stop and stand there, his face becoming more and more gloomy, Xiao Peiyin's heart suddenly became panicked.
"It seems that you think he is good? Is that right?" Gu Cunxi's tone was cold and indifferent.
"I..." Xiao Peiyin opened her mouth but was speechless.
"I think he's good too! He's a suitable marriage partner, I'll consider it!" Gu Cunxi said this painfully, and without waiting for Xiao Peiyin to respond, he quickly left, leaving her there to worry secretly. Xiao Peiyin looked at her back, anxiously opening her mouth to explain, but Gu Cunxi had already walked away...
She obviously didn't mean that...
"Manager Shi, I bought the gift bag and balloons. Take a look!" Gu Cunxi handed the gift bag to Shi Qingxian with a light tone.
"Director Gu has a different vision," Shi Qingxian said after picking up the bag and looking at it. "It's a beautiful bag, a high-end grey color, and the perfect size. The venue is almost set up, and the annual meeting can start soon!"
Company personnel entered the venue one after another. Gu Cunxi looked at her watch. It was almost half past five. There were less than forty minutes left before the annual meeting began. She stood up and walked to the front desk to get her guitar back.
"Sister Cunxi!"
Standing at the front desk, Gu Cunxi heard Cheng Sheng's voice from afar. She turned around and saw Cheng Sheng running towards her: "Sister Cunxi, you look very different today!"
Looking at Cheng Sheng jumping in front of him, Gu Cunxi laughed and asked, "What's different?"
Cheng Sheng looked at her carefully, walked around her again and again and said, "Sister Cunxi, you look very beautiful today, even a little handsome! If you were a man, I would want to marry you!"
"That's a shame, I'm a woman!"
"If I fall in love with you, I won't care about gender!" Cheng Sheng said firmly.
Gu Cunxi was slightly startled and stopped what she was doing. Cheng Sheng said that she didn't care about gender. If Pei Yin said this to her, she would definitely be crazy with joy...
"The annual meeting is about to start, let's go in!"
After that, Gu Cunxi picked up his guitar and turned to walk towards the venue. Cheng Sheng followed him and naturally took Gu Cunxi's arm.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, Xiao Peiyin saw the two people coming from afar. They were very intimate, like a couple in love. Cheng Sheng held Gu Cunxi's arm, and the two of them were talking and laughing. Seeing this, her heart was filled with sadness, and a trace of displeasure flashed across her eyebrows.
"Sister Pei Yin, you're here so early! I ran into Sister Cunxi at the door picking up her guitar at the front desk. She has a show today!"
Cheng Sheng leaned against Gu Cunxi, looking in a good mood. Xiao Peiyin pursed her lips and said lightly, "Well, you've come just in time. Come and sit down. The annual meeting will start soon!"
Before the banquet began, Gu Cunxi took her guitar out of its case and tuned it one last time. Cheng Sheng sat beside her, watching her serious expression. Her pretty profile became increasingly captivating. She leaned forward slightly, resting her chin on Gu Cunxi's shoulder, gently sniffing her light mint scent...
Gu Cunxi felt Cheng Sheng approaching, and her body was slightly startled, but she did not refuse. After getting along with Cheng Sheng for a while, she gradually got used to Cheng Sheng's approach. Cheng Sheng was five years younger than her, like a younger sister. In Gu Cunxi's eyes, Cheng Sheng was like a child, and she liked the childishness in her.
"Cunxi, this zither is so beautiful. It must be very expensive!" Cheng Sheng changed his tone and tentatively called out to Gu Cunxi.
Gu Cunxi, who was concentrating on tuning the instrument, didn't notice Cheng Sheng's different tone from before. She needed to listen carefully to see if there was any deviation in the tone of each string...
But little Pei Yin, who was sitting next to him, heard it clearly. She looked at Cheng Sheng in shock, and instead of calling Gu Cunxi's name in a gentle voice...
Looking at the way Cheng Sheng leaned on Gu Cunxi's shoulder with an unconcealable smile on his face, Xiao Peiyin felt more and more uneasy. She clenched her fingers tightly and began to be sure that Cheng Sheng seemed to have different feelings for Gu Cunxi!
After tuning the piano, Gu Cunxi nodded with satisfaction and said to Cheng Sheng, "I bought it when I first started working. It's a bit expensive, but I saved a lot of money to buy it. It came in handy today!"
Gu Cunxi turned his head to look at Cheng Sheng and realized that the distance was too close. He was concentrating on the guitar and didn't pay attention to whether this behavior was ambiguous. Gu Cunxi thought of Pei Yin and looked up at her in panic.
Eyes met!
Xiao Peiyin's eyes were colder than ever before, and displeasure was evident between her brows... Gu Cunxi suddenly felt like a child who had done something wrong. He pushed Cheng Sheng and said, "Sit down better. Why do you always lean on me?"
"Um?"
Cheng Sheng, who was still obsessed with Gu Cunxi's shoulder, came back to his senses after hearing her somewhat cold tone, and a trace of loss appeared between his eyebrows.
The disappointment that flashed across Cheng Sheng's face was clearly seen by Xiao Peiyin.
Sure enough, there are some people who like Gu Cunxi...
Her heart felt like a huge rock was blocking her breath. She knew Gu Cunxi didn't like being touched, but she hadn't rejected Cheng Sheng just now. Could it be that she didn't dislike Cheng Sheng's intimacy? The more Xiao Peiyin thought about it, the sadder she felt. First, Chen Jiamao, then Cheng Sheng. No matter which one of them, they were more qualified than her...
"Because I want to lean on you, you will slowly get used to me, right? Cunxi!"
“!!”
This time, Gu Cunxi heard clearly that Cheng Sheng was calling her name! Cheng Sheng calling her like that made her very uncomfortable! She was five years older than Cheng Sheng, and their relationship was not close enough for him to call her name casually.
"Cheng Sheng...what did you call me just now?" Gu Cunxi looked at Cheng Sheng with a cold tone, his eyes suddenly becoming serious.
"Sister Cunxi..." Cheng Sheng pursed his lips in anger and said timidly, "Can I... call you by your name from now on? I don't want to call you sister or Sister Cunxi!"
Listening to Cheng Sheng's words, Gu Cunxi felt strange and frowned slightly. She didn't know why Cheng Sheng suddenly acted like this. When she called her name, her tone was gentle, which was different from her usual behavior...
If she had been clinging to him like a child before, then the way she had just called his name tenderly and leaned on his shoulder clearly revealed a woman's gentleness... Thinking of this, Gu Cunxi was frightened by her own thoughts. She hoped that she was just overthinking...
"Ahem..." Gu Cunxi cleared his throat and said, "Cheng Sheng... I'm five years older than you, you... can't call me by my name!"
Gu Cunxi bluntly refused, and Cheng Sheng felt a little sad. With Gu Cunxi's intelligence, she would not fail to guess what he meant...
"I know, Sister Cunxi!" Cheng Sheng was in a low mood, no longer as happy as before. In fact, she didn't know what was wrong with her. The moment she got close to Gu Cunxi, she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. This feeling hadn't happened in a long, long time...
"Cheng Sheng, what do you want to drink? There are drinks over there, I'll get them for you!" Gu Cunxi wanted to ease the current awkward atmosphere.
"Hmm?" Cheng Sheng looked up blankly, looked at Gu Cunxi and said, "I...anything is fine. I like whatever Sister Cunxi takes!"
“…”
The inexplicable ambiguity became more and more intense. Gu Cunxi adjusted his hair uncomfortably and left his seat.
Xiao Peiyin watched her leaving, feeling upset. At this moment, she really wanted to ask Cheng Sheng for an answer, but with what identity?
"Sister Pei Yin..." Cheng Sheng spoke first, hesitating to speak.
Hearing Cheng Sheng calling her, Pei Yin came back to her senses and did not speak. She waited for Cheng Sheng to speak.
"Do you think you should give up if you fall in love with someone who may not like you back?" Cheng Sheng asked cautiously.
"!!" Xiao Peiyin frowned slightly, her heart tightening. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Cheng Sheng... has he fallen in love with someone?"
Cheng Sheng didn't answer Xiao Peiyin's question. He just turned around and looked at the guitar that Gu Cunxi placed beside him. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "No, I'm just... asking casually!"
The moment Xiao Peiyin saw Cheng Sheng subconsciously turn his head to look at Gu Cunxi's position, she understood everything...
My heart sank to the bottom...
Gu Cunxi stood in front of the bar for a while, her thoughts a little confused. Since Cheng Sheng hadn't said it clearly, she couldn't over-guess. Although her intuition told her that Cheng Sheng seemed to be treating her a little differently...
But even so, she couldn't give Cheng Sheng any response. She couldn't lie to herself about feelings. She just hoped she wouldn't hurt Cheng Sheng. After all, being rejected by someone you like is a terrible feeling. She didn't know if Xiao Peiyin would mind her indulgence of Cheng Sheng just now. Maybe she wouldn't care at all...
Seeing that the banquet was about to begin, Gu Cunxi chose a cup of hot drink and returned to his seat: "Here!" Gu Cunxi handed the drink over and said, "I don't know if it suits your taste. It's a bit cold today, so have a hot drink!"
"Thank you, Sister Cunxi!" Cheng Sheng took the drink and drank it in big gulps.
Soon all the participants of the annual meeting entered the venue one after another. The round table was full of people. Soon the host came to the stage and gave the opening remarks of the annual meeting. Gu Cunxi never liked these large banquets, but today was different because Xiao Peiyin was here.
There are a total of eight programs today, and she has seven of them lined up in front of her. Assuming that each program is five minutes long, there are still nearly 40 minutes before she goes on stage. It’s time for her to let go after the annual meeting!
She doesn't like women. This is a question that will never be answered. Since it can't be answered, just let it go!!
After the lights dimmed, Xiao Peiyin's gaze remained fixed on Gu Cunxi without shifting even for a moment. Seeing a hint of desolation on Gu Cunxi's face, her heart tightened, aching with sadness...
Zhang Qiming walked up to the stage to give a speech for today's annual meeting. Xiao Peiyin didn't hear a word of what he said. In the huge conference hall, her eyes were only on Gu Cunxi. Everything around her was out of her sight at this moment.
Feeling a burning gaze cast at her, Gu Cunxi raised her head. The moment her eyes met Xiao Peiyin's, she froze, her expression complicated...
This time, Xiao Peiyin didn't dodge in a panic, but instead stared at Gu Cunxi quietly. She wanted to see her again! This person who was impossible to her!
For some reason, Xiao Peiyin felt a little scared. She was afraid that she would never have the chance to look at her like this again...
Gu Cunxi didn't know why Xiao Peiyin looked at him like that. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and a hint of reluctance. She always gave him the illusion that at least at some point, Xiao Peiyin also liked him! Secretive and affectionate...
She responded to his kiss and was very gentle when taking care of him. Could all this really have nothing to do with love? Gu Cunxi didn't want to think about it anymore. She looked away, picked up the piano case, and left.
After walking to the backstage, Gu Cunxi briefly communicated with the staff and then waited quietly. After this show, it would be her turn to go on stage...
Xiao Peiyin! This song is for you! Gu Cunxi whispered while touching the guitar
On the right side of the stage, Gu Cunxi walked towards the center with a guitar and stood in front of the microphone. Her eyes quickly and accurately found the position of Xiao Peiyin and looked at her firmly.
Then Gu Cunxi nodded to signal the staff to start, and the accompaniment gradually sounded. Gu Cunxi followed the melody to find the entry point and played the guitar in his hand.
The lights on the stage focused together, making her glow. Xiao Peiyin looked at her, with stars and mist in her eyes. All the forbearance in her heart gradually fell apart at this moment...
She stared at the person on the stage, unwilling to blink, and even wanted to run up to her, hug her in her arms, and whisper in her ear: "I love you!"
As Xiao Peiyin thought about it, her eyes gradually turned red, and the people on the stage became blurred in her sight...
"I have never been able to resist your charm"
"Even though you've never been obsessed with me"
"I always look at you with a smile"
"My affection always overflows easily in my eyes"
Gu Cunxi looked at the people in the audience without taking her eyes off them for a moment. At the end of the song, she found that her voice was a little choked. Her love for Xiao Peiyin was interpreted in this song.
"I love you"
"I love you to the end"
"For the first time in my life, I let go of my inhibitions"
"Let yourself imagine everything about you and me"
The song reached its climax, and the fusion of the accompaniment and the guitar resounded in the banquet hall. The applause and cheers from the audience rose one after another, making it seem lively. Only Gu Cunxi knew that his heart was empty and lonely at this moment...
Cheng Sheng saw the gaze on the stage that was fixed on him, and he thought that the person Gu Cunxi was looking at was him. The newly sprouted emotions in his heart broke through the ground at this moment, and gradually grew into many branches and leaves...
Her voice was as cool and gentle as her personality. She was stunned as soon as she opened her mouth. When the song ended, there was silence in the audience, followed by bursts of applause. Gu Cunxi stood quietly in the center of the stage, looking in the direction of Xiao Peiyin and couldn't help shedding a tear.
When the music ends, everything ends!
Wish you happiness...
