Chapter 520 Gu Feng was stunned. The evening breeze made the willow branches rustle, and the light from the street lamp fell between the four people, stretching the shadows long and short. The stagnant atmosphere was like a thin layer of ice, and even breathing became difficult.
Gu Luo's Adam's apple rolled twice, and he took a deep breath and said, "Auntie, I..."
The three words just came to his lips when Luo Liang raised his hand to interrupt him.
The action was quick and decisive, without any hesitation.
When his eyes swept over Gu Luo and Luo Shuning's tightly clasped hands, the coldness in Luo Liang's eyes almost overflowed, and the anger was like a fire hidden under the ice, making it hard to breathe.
"I'll wait for you at home."
She only said this, her voice low and without a trace of warmth. When she turned around, the hem of her coat swept across the ground, bringing a gust of cool wind, and she walked towards the distant intersection without looking back.
Gu Feng stood where he was, moved his lips, and wanted to catch up with him to give him some advice, but he stopped as soon as he raised his foot.
He knew Luo Liang's temper too well, and going up to him now would only put him in danger.
He sighed, stayed where he was, and looked at Gu Luo and Luo Shuning silently. His brows had never been relaxed since a while ago, as if they were twisted into a knot.
A few seconds later, Gu Feng slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from the inner pocket of his coat. The cigarette box was slightly deformed by being squeezed.
He pulled out a cigarette and held it to his lips. The lighter at his fingertips clicked twice before it lit up, and the flame flickered slightly in the evening breeze.
He took a deep puff, and the sizzling sound of the burning tobacco was particularly clear. The first puff filled his lungs. The strong smell of smoke made his throat tight, and he couldn't help coughing twice.
Gu Feng held a cigarette between his legs, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the cigarette. His eyes fell on Gu Luo, and his voice was hoarse from having just smoked a cigarette: "That night, it was you who went home with Shu Ning? Are those shoes at the door yours?"
Gu Luo didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Luo Shuning's knuckles turned white, his face was still pale, and his eyes were full of tension.
Gu Feng's brows furrowed even deeper, and the spark from the cigarette butt fell to the ground, leaving a small black mark.
He took another puff of his cigarette, and the smoke slowly escaped from his nostrils, dispersing into a light mist under the light:
"Shu Ning's boyfriend, has he always been you?"
Another silence, another nod.
Gu Luo's jaw was tightly clenched, and he had no intention of escaping.
"Does Shu He know about this?"
Gu Feng's voice became even lower, with a barely perceptible tremor. He already had a guess in his mind, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Gu Luo remained silent and nodded slowly.
There was a "click" sound, as if something broke in Gu Feng's heart.
He took a deep drag on his cigarette, his voice completely hoarse, as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper:
"When did you and Shu He...break up?"
This time, Gu Luo did not nod, nor did he answer immediately.
He lowered his eyes, looking at his and Luo Shuning's tightly clasped hands. After a few seconds, he slowly raised his head, took a deep breath, and spoke in a low voice as if buried in his throat:
"Shu He and I haven't broken up."
"Not breaking up?"
Gu Feng was stunned for a moment, not reacting. He repeated it subconsciously, and then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly widened, and his tone was full of disbelief: "You are... with Shu Ning without telling Shu He?"
"No."
Gu Luo shook his head, his eyes full of complexities: "She knows. Shu He knows about Shu Ning and me."
"boom--"
These words exploded in Gu Feng's ears like a thunderclap.
The cigarette box in his hand fell to the ground with a "click", but he didn't care at all. He just stared at Gu Luo blankly, his eyes wide open, his lips moving, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
What do you mean "not breaking up"?
What does "Shu He knows"?
These two sentences put together were like a difficult problem, which completely confused him.
In his entire life, he had seen couples break up and get back together, and friends become enemies, but he had never seen anything like this: two sisters and a boy, who hadn't broken up and still knew about each other's relationship?
The evening breeze was still blowing and the willow branches were still swaying, but Gu Feng felt that everything around him had stopped.
He looked at Gu Luo, then at Luo Shuning beside him. His mind was blank. He even forgot the smell of cigarettes that had just choked his throat. All that was left was shock and confusion, as well as a hint of unspeakable absurdity.
