When Nan Qing and Gu Beiyan returned to the villa, it was already evening.
You can hear the laughter and chatter of the guests coming from the living room, as well as the sound of slippers walking around, all from the courtyard.
As soon as the two stepped into the living room, they heard greetings from other guests.
"You're back."
Upon hearing the voice, Nan Qing immediately greeted everyone with a smile, while Gu Beiyan beside her remained indifferent, merely nodding slightly to the people sitting on the sofa.
At this moment, Jiang Fan, with her ponytail and sweet appearance, peeked out from the kitchen, leaned against the door frame, and said in a clear, sweet voice:
"We came back first and picked out a room. We could choose any of the rooms upstairs that weren't closed."
After she finished speaking, she winked at Gu Beiyan.
"301 has the best natural light!"
Unfortunately, Gu Beiyan didn't even glance at her. Instead, Nan Qing blinked, pondered the implication in Jiang Fan's words, and then turned to look at Gu Beiyan beside her, her eyes full of gossip, showing no sign of the tension that someone was trying to steal her boyfriend.
But as soon as she turned her head, she met a pair of dark eyes that had been staring at her. Perhaps Nan Qing didn't notice, but whenever she was there, Gu Beiyan's gaze was always focused on her.
Nan Qing nudged Gu Beiyan, who was staring intently at her, with her elbow and whispered:
"Why are you staring at it? Go put the cake in the fridge!"
"Um."
"Wait for me to go upstairs and choose a room together."
After Gu Beiyan finished speaking, he carried the tiramisu in his hand to the kitchen, while in his other hand he was holding two neatly folded light blue aprons.
As he passed by Jiang Fan, despite the latter's constant smile, he didn't even glance at him, seemingly oblivious to everyone else besides Nan Qing.
After being turned away twice, Jiang Fan's smile faltered. The curve of her lips stiffened, and she could feel the gazes from the other guests. Some were surprised, some understood, and some watched with amusement.
"The fruit is cut up, I'll go get it for everyone."
She suppressed her embarrassment and turned back into the kitchen, pretending to be relaxed. This time, she didn't blindly approach Gu Beiyan again.
After placing the cake, Gu Beiyan walked to a corner where suitcases were piled up, picked up his and Nan Qing's suitcases, and called out to Nan Qing, who was sitting on the sofa chatting with Shen Yao, Xie Chi, and Bai Youyuan:
"Qingqing, let's go, let's go upstairs and choose a room first."
Gu Beiyan's "Qingqing" successfully silenced the four people on the sofa. Bai Youyuan had a look of anticipation on her face; she knew these two were definitely attracted to each other!
Xie Chi also cast an admiring glance at Gu Beiyan, while Shen Yao looked somewhat disappointed. He hadn't expected that Gu Beiyan and Nan Qing would make such a rapid progress in just half a day.
Gu Beiyan carried his black suitcase in one hand and Nan Qing's white suitcase in the other. His arm muscles were slightly tense from the effort. The two of them went up to the second floor one after the other.
There are five rooms on the second floor, three of which have closed doors and two others with the doors wide open. All of them are well-lit and there are two pairs of doors.
Nan Qing chose the room with a balcony, which also had a beanbag chair. Being able to enjoy the breeze and sunshine on the balcony or under a tree was her favorite thing to do.
She stood on the balcony, looked at Gu Beiyan behind her, pointed to her suitcase, and ordered without any politeness:
"Gu Beiyan, I have bed sheets and duvet covers in my suitcase, could you please change them for me?"
She prefers to sleep in silky, smooth sheets and duvet covers, no matter where she is. If possible, she will bring her own four-piece bedding set wherever she goes and rarely uses anything from outside.
Gu Beiyan's heart sank as she gripped the luggage handle. Her tone of voice was far too natural and practiced, as if she had repeated this request a thousand times.
He wondered if she saw him as someone's shadow because he resembled someone else.
Or perhaps she was thinking of someone else, or who she was looking at through him?
Despite his doubts, he silently opened Nan Qing's suitcase and took out a light blue four-piece bedding set.
The bed sheets were soft and silky, with a faint floral scent, which was her own fragrance.
Gu Beiyan unfolded the fabric and skillfully removed the original sheets and duvet cover. He then carefully smoothed out the light blue silk sheets and felt the silk fabric brush against his fingertips.
After making the bed, he didn't ask any more questions. He naturally picked up the clothes from Nan Qing's suitcase and hung them in the closet one by one. He also put various cosmetics, shoes, hats and other items in their proper places.
The interaction between the two was so natural it was almost bizarre. One of them confidently ordered people around, while the other casually touched all her personal belongings and never said no to her. Their tacit understanding and interaction made netizens swoon.
[Ahhh, this feels like an old married couple!]
[Gu Beiyan, you touched my wife's pajamas!!]
[Who understands? Nan Qing's tone when ordering him around is so natural.]
[Um...did Gu Beiyan just smell the bed sheet?]
Sister, you didn't see it wrong, I saw it too.
[...Yandere/Domineering CEO fiction?]
Okay, okay, let's get married right now.
It would be really hard to judge this couple if they weren't together.
[It's really going to be hard to end like this]
I also want to smell the beautiful woman's bed sheets~ Just thinking about it makes me smell so good.
[CEO Gu: Get lost!]
【........
The atmosphere between the two was already incredibly sweet, and Gu Beiyan's mother had ten trending topics bought, resulting in eight out of the top ten trending topics on Weibo discussing the "Yan Qing" couple.
#It's really going to be hard for Yan Qing to end things if she doesn't get married#
