☆, Chapter 63
Chapter 63
The car was parked in the parking lot of the Song residence. An orange street lamp was hidden among the dense branches and leaves, like a big, round and plump orange.
As Gu Qingyue unbuckled her seatbelt, she suddenly remembered something. She turned to Gu Hengsheng and asked, "Do you like Jin Jun Mei?"
Gu Hengsheng looked at her in confusion: "Why do you suddenly bring this up?"
Gu Qingyue looked a little embarrassed and explained softly, "Originally, I was going to have dinner at Uncle Song's house last time, but we parted on bad terms. I still haven't given away the Jin Junmei."
Gu Heng nodded in understanding. At this time, the door of Song's house was opened by someone inside. It was Song Zhixun.
The two of them got out of the car, and Gu Hengsheng led Gu Qingyue up a few steps. Song Zhixun said, "I was just about to call you to ask where you were, and you came."
Gu Hengsheng smiled slightly and said, "It's not right to keep the host waiting when you come to eat. Naturally, I have to arrive early."
Song Zhixun's eyes fell on Qingyue, who was standing next to Gu Hengsheng, and he half-jokingly said, "Didn't you say you were coming to visit a few days ago? But you stood your Uncle Song up."
Gu Qingyue was embarrassed, saying she had been delayed by something, and that she hadn't come to dinner or called Uncle Song, saying she was being impolite. Song Zhixun, a man over fifty, naturally didn't bother with her, but instead said, "Don't tell me that Xiaoshu's outspokenness has irritated you."
Gu Qingyue smiled and said nothing.
After they entered, Song Zhixun said to the maid who came to pour tea, "Go and call Xiaoshu down for dinner."
Gu Qingyue and Gu Hengsheng sat down before Song Xiaoshu finally arrived. He was wearing a black crew-neck sweatshirt and blue jeans. He seemed to have just woken up, and there was a hint of laziness in his eyes.
Song Xiaoshu sat down at the dining table and the maid brought the dishes and chopsticks. Gu Qingyue could catch Song Xiaoshu's gaze lingering on her and Gu Hengsheng. Gu Qingyue acted as if she didn't know anything at all. She lowered her eyes and drank the coconut milk from the glass.
At the dinner table, it was almost exclusively Song Zhixun and Gu Hengsheng who were talking. During the conversation, the topic turned to Gu Linsheng. Gu Qingyue didn't quite understand what they were saying, but the general idea was that Gu Linsheng seemed to be facing a difficult situation.
Gu Hengsheng didn't dwell on this topic for long, but just perfunctorily dealt with it. Song Zhixun's invitation to Gu Hengsheng for dinner this time was not simply to keep in touch.
Businessmen's dinners are always about discussing business matters. Song Zhixun actually didn't have much contact with Gu Hengsheng. After all, he had only taken over the Gu family in the past two years. However, he had to admit that although the man in front of him seemed peaceful, he was actually not as easy to get along with as he appeared. He had his own set of principles in dealing with people and was more difficult to deal with than Gu Linsheng.
Song Zhixun's wife noticed that the atmosphere at the dinner table was not right, so she stepped out to act as a peacemaker and turned the topic to Gu Hengsheng's personal situation. She mentioned that she knew a lady of the same age as Gu Hengsheng who studied cello and wanted to introduce her to him.
Gu Hengsheng picked up a boiled shrimp and placed it on Gu Qingyue's plate. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a girlfriend."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xiaoshu, who was standing opposite him, stared at Gu Hengsheng with a surly look on his face: "Oh, who is Uncle Gu's girlfriend?"
Gu Qingyue raised her eyes and glared at Song Xiaoshu, who pretended not to see. Gu Hengsheng smiled, then turned to look at Gu Qingyue, and asked in confusion, "Qingyue, you didn't tell Xiaoshu about us?"
The car was driving on the brightly lit avenue.
Gu Qingyue still felt a lingering fear when she thought of the atmosphere at the dinner table just now. Her fingers scratched the seat belt and she turned her head to look at Gu Hengsheng again.
When they encountered a red light, Gu Hengsheng slowly stopped the car and turned to look at her: "What do you want to say? Why are you staring at me?"
"I didn't expect you to admit it at the dinner table." Gu Qingyue said.
"Oh." Gu Hengsheng smiled and asked, "Do you think I'm such an irresponsible person?"
"No, our identities are awkward, so gossip is inevitable. Aren't you worried?" Gu Qingyue was a little curious.
"Are you afraid?" Gu Hengsheng stared at her.
"Not afraid." She shook her head.
Gu Hengsheng raised his hand and touched her face, saying, "Sometimes I think I'm too selfish. For my own selfish desires, I dragged you into this situation."
"Do you regret it?" Gu Qingyue held his wrist that was covering her face and said jokingly, "Or do you want to go find Miss Ren who plays the violin?"
Gu Hengsheng smiled indulgently, and the hand that was on her face slowly moved to the back of her head. He applied a little force and lowered his head to capture those soft red lips.
A warm touch against the corner of her lips, and Gu Qingyue's mind went blank. Then, he sighed helplessly, telling her to close her eyes. She obeyed, her vision fading into darkness, and the sensation between their lips was magnified. He pecked the corner of her lips, not rushing to pry them open. His kiss, like him, was like a spring breeze, without the predatory feeling of eager possession, but only a lingering tenderness. Qingyue could feel waves of heat rolling over her face as he and she exchanged their breath.
When the two of them had distanced themselves from each other, Gu Qingyue inexplicably didn't dare to look him in the eye. She turned her head to look out the window. There happened to be a fruit shop across the street. She swallowed softly and said, "Let's go buy some fruit."
Gu Hengsheng knew she was shy, so he pretended not to know and looked towards the fruit shop: "Do you want to eat?"
Gu Qingyue nodded. Gu Hengsheng looked around, drove the car into the parking lot, and the two got out. Gu Qingyue hugged his arm and whispered, "I didn't expect you to kiss me in the car?"
"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Gu Hengsheng said.
The two entered the fruit shop. The light in the shop was as bright as day. The colorful fruits looked fuller under the light, and even their fragrance and sweetness seemed to be stronger.
They picked a box of mulberries and two oranges, or rather, Gu Qingyue picked a box of mulberries and two oranges.
Gu Hengsheng looked at the two plump oranges in the bag, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Just two oranges, why not buy two more?"
Gu Qingyue shook her head and said that was enough.
Gu Hengsheng smiled and said, "No need to save money for me."
"Oh, I thought your money was mine?" Gu Qingyue said deliberately.
He looked at her and smiled at her: "Yes, it's yours."
As he went to the counter to pay, Gu Qingyue could feel the waiter's gaze lingering on Gu Hengsheng. It was a pure gaze, like when you see a beautiful dress on the street and can't help but stop and take a few glances. Gu Qingyue didn't feel jealous; this pure appreciation was nothing more than a nod to her vision.
The two returned to the hotel, and Gu Qingyue took her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, Gu Hengsheng was on the phone, and on the coffee table were washed mulberries and sliced oranges.
Gu Qingyue sat down on the sofa and reached out to take a slice of orange, which was just the right amount of sweetness and sourness. After she finished two slices, Gu Hengsheng hung up the phone and came to sit next to her.
Gu Qingyue lay on his knees, her long hair, freshly washed, fanned out on his knees, with a faint minty scent. Gu Qingyue held his face with both hands, looked up at him, and said, "Kiss me."
