Chapter 65 A Leap: Read, Replying Randomly
The slightly astringent liquid slid into her throat, down her esophagus to her stomach, cool and with a strange stimulation. After taking a sip, Yue Yiyue frowned as she looked at the cup.
The wine didn't taste as good as she had imagined. Yue Yiyue raised the dark brown liquid in her hand, looking at her slightly flushed face reflected in the wine glass: "I shouldn't be drunk, right?"
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and drank the liquid in her wine glass in one gulp.
A soft chuckle came from the other side, barely audible.
Yue Yiyue put down his cup and looked at Gu Nanqiu with some confusion: "Did I drink too fast?"
When her gaze fell on the wine in Gu Nanqiu's glass, she nodded thoughtfully, answering her own question, "Oh, it seems that's true."
After saying that, she put the glass on the table and stared at the bottle with its writing in a mix of foreign languages: "This is my first time drinking this."
"This is also my first time traveling, not to study in a different place, but for tourism." Yue Yiyue emphasized the latter part of his sentence: "It seems like I'm a bit bored. I get bored easily when I'm with someone."
Yue Yiyue didn't know what she was saying; she just kept muttering to herself and poking at the cup in front of her.
"Okay, actually I haven't seen much of the world." Yue Yiyue leaned back on the comfortable sofa, her eyes narrowed, and she snuggled comfortably against the blanket draped over her, uttering these words with a hint of self-abandonment.
Once it started, the rest of the talk just poured out.
“That hair dryer is a bit strange. I was thinking about it for a while when I got it.” Yue Yiyue looked up at the ambient light above his head. “I’ve never seen these before. They’re very novel. If it weren’t for you, I probably would never have come across these in my life.”
"Actually, it's the same when we're on a plane. I've been observing you from behind the whole time, so that I don't look stupid and embarrass you."
After saying this, Yue Yiyue looked at Gu Nanqiu sitting opposite him with some curiosity.
She didn't know what she was expecting.
In just a moment, although Gu Nanqiu was sitting there as before, casually sipping the wine in his hand, Yue Yiyue felt that this Gu Nanqiu was different.
"Hmm, I think I should be drunk now, but I shouldn't be." Yue Yiyue shifted her position to make herself more comfortable, and mumbled groggily, glancing at the quartz clock beside her. It was... 8:10...
Something felt off in my head, but the alcohol immediately cleared it up.
In the end, Yue Yiyue only felt that he was a little overconfident.
Sitting opposite, Gu Nanqiu picked up another glass of wine from the table. She slowly poured the decanted wine into the glass and looked at Yue Yiyue lying on the sofa with a half-smile.
One leap wasn't enough...
Just a little bit more...
My fingers twitched slightly, and the room seemed even warmer.
Yue Yiyue tugged at her collar. Because she was a little irritable, her movements were a bit too big, and her collar was torn open, revealing her vulnerable neck.
As her fingers traced her neck, Yue Yiyue seemed to remember something. She leaned forward, smiled at Gu Nanqiu opposite her, and pointed to the almost disappearing bite mark: "Look, this is what you left behind."
On her fair neck, a small mark caught Gu Nanqiu's eye.
Following the almost vanished trail, one can slide down to find Yue Yiyue's thriving body.
The lust in Gu Nanqiu's eyes intensified, and even his breathing became hotter.
She sat there quietly for a moment, then considerately tucked Yue Yiyue's clothes behind her back: "Yiyue, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
"I'm here, tell me, okay?"
"Or could you tell me if you'd like to stay here with me forever and ever?"
As soon as those words appeared, Yue Yiyue immediately felt as if several adorable Gu Nanqius were eagerly waiting for her to speak in her head.
Quickly reveal all her innermost thoughts.
He also promised Nanqiu that he would stay here with her forever.
Yue Yiyue automatically filtered out the second half of the sentence; all she wanted now was for Nan Qiu to know everything about her.
I always felt that only in this way could they become close and have no more barriers between them.
It must be because the alcohol content was too high. Yue Yiyue blamed the alcohol on the table.
“The place I used to live was a mess, it was very chaotic, extremely chaotic.” Yue Yiyue looked up at the scattered dots: “I never dared to look up and think about tomorrow, nor would I think about traveling.”
"Because living is exhausting."
I'm extremely tired.
"I never imagined I'd actually be able to drink in such a nice place one day," Yue Yiyue said, her voice trembling with emotion. "And it seems like I've forgotten something..."
Everyone comforted me, telling me to just forget about it.
Salty tears streamed down her cheeks, quickly leaving a small, dark dent on the sofa fabric.
"But I think it's very important, and we can't forget it."
Gu Nanqiu rose gracefully, her dark green robe appearing before Yue Yiyue like a swaying green leaf in the forest, carrying a cool breeze and the familiar fragrance of osmanthus.
Soon, a slightly cool hand was placed on Yue Yiyue's flushed cheek, and Yue Yiyue, with dazed eyes, subconsciously rubbed against it to make her feel comfortable.
In his confused state, Yue Yiyue saw a pair of scarlet eyes.
Her eyes held many emotions she couldn't decipher, yet the person before her was still Gu Nanqiu.
She seemed to hear Gu Nanqiu ask that question again: "Would you like to stay here with me forever?"
Gu Nanqiu......
Yue Yiyue squinted, hooked his long arm around the person, and pulled them into his embrace: "I should forget you."
"Although I have forgotten you, don't worry, I will find you."
Yue Yiyue didn't even know what he was saying.
She only felt Gu Nanqiu slowly approaching. The woman's voice seemed to be right next to her ear, yet also seemed to be through something. Yue Yiyue tried hard to concentrate and hear clearly.
I did hear intermittent sounds of...love?
"Love... baby... you're still cute when you're drunk... but you're so cunning, you never answer my questions... I wanted you to stay here with me forever, so no one could hurt you..."
Will they find me?
Will they really find me?
The voice grew weaker, yet remained an exceptionally persistent plea.
"Yes, I will." Yue Yiyue mustered her last shred of consciousness, cupped the face of the person before her, and planted a kiss on his cheek: "For all eternity, as long as I live..."
The fog outside the room thinned out a bit, and the quartz clock inside seemed to be released from its reverie, ticking rhythmically.
Gu Nanqiu looked at the little liar who had fallen into a deep sleep and sighed softly.
“I told you you couldn’t do it.” Gu Nanqiu, reflected in the mirror, suddenly spoke, reaching out to touch the thin lens of her glasses as she looked at the two people in the room.
"Turn the air conditioner down a bit, it's too hot. Cover her with that blanket later... Yes, it seems you haven't forgotten any of these things, that's good."
Gu Nanqiu snapped her fingers outside the mirror, causing the room temperature to drop several degrees. Looking at the person sleeping on the sofa, her gaze softened: "You won. After this is over, I'll go back, but until then, I want to stay here... I want to spend more time with her..."
Gu Nanqiu smiled in the mirror: "That scene won't happen again, but if this makes you feel better, then I'll let you experience it this time."
————
When Yue Yiyue woke up, the first thing he saw was that beautiful face, those brown eyes, just leaning against him, staring at him.
His eyes held a mixture of curiosity about the unknown and a touch of trepidation.
Thinking about this, Yue Yiyue felt that she had probably drunk too much and damaged her brain. She lay silently for a while, confirming that she could not recall what she had done after drinking.
This must be a memory lapse.
Judging from Gu Nanqiu's appearance, she probably didn't do anything.
Thinking of this, Yue Yiyue got out of bed, quickly washed up, yawned, and pulled back the curtains.
The rain outside has stopped; today is a nice sunny day.
This is where the advantages of living on a higher floor become apparent.
"This room was a great deal! Nanqiu, where would you like to go today?"
Before I could finish speaking, I felt a warm body press against me and encircle me.
Her breath tickled Yue Yiyue's neck.
Gu Nanqiu rubbed against Yue Yiyue affectionately, saying, "I want to stay here with you."
"It's best if you never go out; you have no idea how dangerous it is outside..."
"More than twenty people died in the building next door last night."
As she spoke, Gu Nanqiu released Yue Yiyue, turned around and turned on the TV. The news was reporting on this matter urgently.
Yue Yiyue turned around and stared at the reporter on the TV, who was anxiously reporting the news. He then looked at the medical staff running around in the background and the people crying.
Yue Yiyue felt a pang of sadness at all; so many people had suddenly disappeared...
After reading the entire news report, Yue Yiyue sat down next to Gu Nanqiu and asked with a serious expression, "Has that so-called rule reappeared?"
Although she was already certain of the answer in her heart.
At the same time, Yue Yiyue also felt some regret.
She shouldn't have taken a chance just because the plot radar in her head hadn't gone off, and gone somewhere else when there was no turning back.
But she felt lost, her memories of the book were becoming increasingly faint, and now she could only see the fog.
Deep down, Yue Yiyue had a feeling that it was almost here, that the scene where her character would be judged was almost here...
Gu Nanqiu saw Yue Yiyue's furrowed brows and pressed pause: "Maybe so. After all, no one knew about such a large-scale casualty incident. It was only this morning when some people went to work that they found many people smiling and hanging themselves at their workstations with their work badges."
"This is a rumor a friend in City A sent me, but it sounds really scary, so I can't sleep after seeing it." Gu Nanqiu shuddered slightly as she said this.
“Indeed.” Following Gu Nanqiu’s words, Yue Yiyue thought for a moment, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass, traced her finger on the glass, and finally landed on the magnificent building opposite that bore the name Keyu Center: “Is this the building you’re talking about?”
Yue Yiyue has good eyesight; she can see the red/blue lights flashing on the white ambulance and the nurses running around in a hurry.
But because of the distance, it is very, very small.
The next moment, Yue Yiyue took a step back. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and patted Gu Nanqiu beside her anxiously.
"Can you... see over there...?" Following the direction Yue Yiyue pointed, Gu Nanqiu saw several windows on a certain floor across the street wide open, and then people were being strung down one by one, eventually turning into a giant "I love you".
