☆, Chapter 41
Chapter 41
Gu Qingyue took the elevator downstairs, eager to see him. She couldn't tell whether this feeling was due to the alcohol. The building with more than 40 floors seemed particularly long.
Gu Qingyue couldn't help but complain why the sky bar had to be set up on the top floor. When they reached the first floor, the elevator doors on both sides slowly opened, and Gu Qingyue was the first to step out of the elevator.
The hotel was at the intersection of Linda Avenue. Gu Hengsheng's car was parked under a sycamore tree across the street. As if to make it easier for her to find him, he wasn't sitting inside. Dressed in a neat black coat, he stood outside, looking down at his phone. The bright white light from the screen illuminated his handsome features.
Gu Qingyue turned right, and her fellow pedestrians stood at the sidewalk, waiting for the green light. Surrounded by unfamiliar strangers, she had no idea where they were going, but as she stared at the person at the corner, her heart inexplicably softened.
After a moment, the green light came on.
Within these fifteen seconds, Gu Qingyue rushed to Gu Hengsheng's presence.
The night wind blew her hair into the corners of her eyes. Gu Qingyue raised her hand to take it away, panting slightly: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Not bad." He put away his phone and looked at her: "Why are you running? I can't walk."
"I'm afraid you'll get impatient after waiting for too long," she said.
He looked at her, smiled gently and said, "Get in the car first."
Across the street, Song Xiaoshu, whose elevator was only one hour behind Gu Qingyue's, watched the scene unfold. With his hands in his pockets, he waited until the car pulled into traffic, its taillights forming a single red hue against the night sky. Only then did he turn and leave.
Yang Shuowen looked at Song Xiaoshu as he came out of the elevator and asked, "Where have you been?"
"No, just having a cigarette in the bathroom."
"I didn't see you just now." Yang Shuowen stared at Song Xiaoshu's back and muttered to himself.
"Wow, it's so warm." The warm air in the car made Gu Qingyue breathe a sigh of relief, and the phone in her bag rang. Shu Miaomiao asked her where she had gone. She thought she had fallen into the swimming pool because she was drunk, and she watched from the edge of the pool for several times before she gave up the idea.
Gu Qingyue glanced at Gu Hengsheng in the driver's seat and said with a guilty conscience: "I have a headache. I'm going back first."
After she hung up the phone, Gu Hengsheng stared at her: "Headache?"
"One thing, maybe I drank too much tonight." Gu Qingyue said solemnly, "Thank you for picking me up."
"You are welcome."
"Do you know where I'm going back to?"
"The school has passed curfew, or do you want to stay in a hotel?" Gu Hengsheng asked, "Can you stay alone?"
She shook her head: "No, I'm afraid I'll get drunk and fall into the toilet."
He thought about it and suggested to her, "If you don't mind, stay at my place."
Gu Qingyue's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.
After returning to Gu Hengsheng's residence, Gu Hengsheng made her a cup of honey water. Gu Qingyue held the cup and drank it. The sweetness was just right, not too sweet.
Gu Hengsheng came out of the bedroom and said, "The toothbrush is in the bathroom cabinet."
"Okay." She nodded, her eyes falling on the ashtray on the coffee table, where two cigarette butts lay. She said, "Have you been troubled lately?"
Gu Hengsheng smiled and said, "What do you mean?"
Gu Qingyue reached out and tapped the ashtray, saying, "Tell me about the cigarette butts in here."
His gaze lingered on his face for a moment, and Gu Hengsheng restrained his smile, then looked away and said calmly, "There are some things at work."
He added, "Go to bed early. I'll go in and rest first."
Gu Qingyue rested her chin on one hand, staring at the closed door. In fact, at the moment of the countdown, she originally wanted to say something other than "Happy New Year", but when the words came to her lips, she didn't dare to say them out loud.
Who says alcohol can make cowards braver? That's all it is.
Gu Qingyue sighed in frustration, drank the rest of the honey water, washed the cup, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
The next day, I woke up to Zaisif's noise. The aftereffects of a hangover were a dizzy head and a feeling of fatigue throughout my body.
She slipped on her shoes and walked out of the guest room. Not seeing Gu Hengsheng, she glanced at the bedroom door, which was still closed, and went to the bathroom in her slippers to wash up.
Zaisif squatted at the bathroom door waiting for her. Gu Qingyue chatted with him out of boredom: "Where's your master? Is he still sleeping?"
She lowered her head and smelled the clothes on her body, frowning. The clothes were still mixed with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol from last night.
There was the sound of the door opening, and Gu Qingyue stepped out of the bathroom. It was Gu Hengsheng who came back. He was wearing sporty clothes, a gray windbreaker and black casual pants, with small water marks on his shoulders.
Gu Qingyue said, "Is it raining?"
"No." Gu Hengsheng said.
"Then what are the water stains on your shoulders?" Gu Qingyue was confused.
Gu Hengsheng glanced over his shoulder and said, "The snow has melted."
Gu Qingyue understood instantly: "Okay."
He took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. He was wearing a black round-neck sweatshirt underneath. He looked quite a bit younger. He said, "After you wash up, come over for breakfast."
Gu Qingyue still had toothpaste in her mouth. She responded vaguely and went back to the bathroom to rinse her mouth.
When she came out of the bathroom, breakfast was already on the table: two glasses of milk, two slices of toast, bacon, and a sunny-side-up egg on a plate. Gu Qingyue sat down at the table, and Gu Hengsheng came over with a sliced orange. She took a sip of milk and said, "Did you go for a morning run?"
"Yes." Gu Hengsheng put the eggs and bacon between two slices of toast.
"Every day?"
"Not really. I can't continue when I'm on a business trip."
"Maybe I should start my morning jog." Gu Qingyue took a bite of the egg.
"Exercise?"
"No, there's a physical test next semester, and one of the tests is long-distance running." Gu Qingyue frowned. "This is a difficult test for me. I have to take a make-up test every year."
"How many minutes do you run?" Gu Hengsheng asked.
"Very bad." Gu Qingyue felt guilty, "More than five minutes."
"It seems you need more exercise."
"Yes," Gu Qingyue said, "Every time I go on a long run, I think that one day I might die of a sudden cardiac arrest from running."
Gu Hengsheng was both amused and confused: "You think too seriously."
After breakfast, Gu Hengsheng received a call and had to go back to school, so the two went back together.
Gu Qingyue returned to the dormitory, but Shu Miaomiao and the others were still there. Gu Qingyue took out some clothes from the closet and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, she received a call from Shu Miaomiao: "Qingyue, where are you?"
"In the dormitory."
"Weren't you with me last night? When did you return to the dormitory?"
Gu Qingyue reminded her: "I called you and said I had a headache and left first?"
"Really? I completely blacked out."
"Where are you?" Gu Qingyue asked.
"Hotel, my head hurts. I shouldn't have drunk so much. I feel like this body isn't my own."
The author has something to say: Sorry, I basically only have time to write after 8pm every day. Yesterday I wrote 1000 words until 1am, but I was too tired and went to sleep.
As for the rush to progress, well, this story is slow to pick up steam. Uncle Gu and Qing Yue's identities mean it's not easy for them to be together. Besides external factors, there are also internal ones. Uncle Gu is actually a very moral person. I've hinted at this, but I don't know if you've noticed. Is Uncle Gu currently attracted to Qing Yue? Actually, he is. I think it's quite obvious in Chapter 39.
Those who have followed my works know that my articles are not long. This one has at most 180,000 words.
