Gu Lianzhou waited in the darkness for a long time.
So long that the sound of rain outside gradually diminished.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the rain curtain that was faintly visible on the opposite wall, like his dark and despicable thoughts, swaying and wandering in the dampness.
Is she no longer afraid of thunder?
Or... do I really never want to see him again, and never need him again?
Or perhaps, someone else is comforting her?
Gu Lianzhou recalled the scene at the ball today, where she and He Weilin chatted happily, and her vow to him that she would be of one mind with He Weilin. Her emotions plummeted like dark clouds and cold rain.
Did they exchange contact information?
Is she now cowering in bed, pitifully talking to He Weilin on the phone, calling him "brother," and coaxing him to comfort her again and again?
Gu Lianzhou closed his eyes.
Every image that flashed through his mind was unbearable for him.
He suddenly threw off the covers.
...
The corridor was dark and silent in the dead of night.
He stood in front of Shen Zhiyi's door for a while.
There was no sound from inside.
Only his filthy and corrupt heart continued to beat in his chest.
The noise kept him from getting any peace.
Gu Lianzhou frowned, his slender fingers resting on the doorknob, and gently turned it.
Click—
The door opened.
She didn't lock the door?
Gu Lianzhou was slightly taken aback.
He paused for a moment, then gently pushed open a small gap.
A dark carpet stretched out and stretched out, gradually illuminating the horizon with a dim, warm light.
She wasn't asleep?
Gu Lianzhou's body stiffened, his pores filled with the cold dampness of rainwater and a hint of indescribable excitement.
His Adam's apple bobbed.
He took a step forward, and a large hand closed the door behind him.
Gu Lianzhou walked into the room and gradually saw the scene under the dim yellow light.
Shen Zhiyi sat in the chair in front of the desk, leaning on the table and resting her head on her arm, seemingly asleep.
Her long eyelashes were tightly closed, and her brows were furrowed. Occasionally, she would tremble with the loud thunder outside, as if she were trapped in a nightmare and sleeping very restlessly.
She was clutching something tightly in her hand.
Gu Lianzhou frowned slightly and walked over quietly. Only when he got closer did he realize that what she was holding in her hand was none other than his tie!
Gu Lianzhou's dark pupils suddenly contracted.
He stared incredulously at Shen Zhiyi's sleeping face.
His gaze swept quickly across her face, and he checked her palm again.
It really is his tie!
It was the same one he had shown her before, holding her hand and teaching her how to tie it!
His heart skipped a beat.
My breathing became heavy.
Is she thinking of him?
On such a frightening rainy night, because I dared not go to him, I held onto his things to ease my fear...
Gu Lianzhou's heart was filled with turmoil.
He didn't know he could give her so much strength.
Unbeknownst to her, even after saying such harsh words to him, her body's instincts still compelled her to get closer to him...
Gu Lianzhou was overwhelmed with excitement.
I felt the dormant blood vessels in my body seem to awaken and surge at this moment.
He glanced at the undried tear stains on Shen Zhiyi's cheeks, and his heart clenched instantly.
He walked to the bedside, picked up the blanket from the single sofa, turned back, and gently covered her with it.
"Xiaoyi, I'm sorry..."
He bent down and tenderly wiped away the wetness from the corners of her eyes, murmuring softly.
He can carry her to the bed.
But at this moment, he didn't want to wake her.
He didn't want her to wake up and have another big fight with him, either to protect her self-esteem or because she felt embarrassed that he had discovered her thoughts.
He was fed up with arguing with her.
I've had enough... so I pushed her to another man.
He shouldn't have done those unnecessary and foolish things.
Suddenly, Gu Lianzhou turned his gaze and noticed the things on the table.
Not far from her elbow was a red notebook, and next to it was a ballpoint pen with the cap not fully closed.
What did she write in the notebook?
Is this an accusation against him?
Gu Lianzhou felt a warmth spread through him as he looked at her slightly pouting lips and found her exceptionally adorable.
He should bear all her anger.
This is the price he paid for pushing her away.
The price of betraying her trust with rashness and recklessness.
He resisted the urge to ruffle her hair, restrained himself from looking away, reached out and picked up the ballpoint pen, capped it for her, and put it back in the pen holder.
Just as I was about to straighten the notebook, something suddenly rolled out from the edge of the notebook.
Gu Lianzhou frowned slightly.
The finger bone cuts it off.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a button.
Gu Lianzhou picked it up with some curiosity and examined it closely under the light. When he saw what it was, his pupils suddenly contracted!
Those are his buttons!
Today at the ball, when I hugged and kissed her, I saw the shirt button of the dress she was wearing!
Gu Lianzhou suddenly clenched his fist, looked down at Shen Zhiyi's innocent face, and repeatedly recalled all her reactions today.
A strange, unbelievable thought popped into my head.
She knew it was him...
She always knew that the person who kissed her was him!
Under the immense impact, Gu Lianzhou took two steps back, his tall body trembling slightly.
so……
Was her lack of resistance because of him?
And those shy reactions, were they all because of him?
Shock, confusion, and suspicion surged in his dark eyes, but in the end, they gradually solidified into a secret joy that swept over him like an underwater hurricane.
Gu Lianzhou's gaze fell on the red notebook.
Driven by intense curiosity, I took two steps forward, carefully picked it up, and opened it while keeping an eye on Shen Zhiyi's movements.
He saw his name first.
then.
I saw line after line of absurd and outrageous statements.
That was her fantasy and longing.
And he was the protagonist of all those events!
"I spilled milk on my brother's shirt, and it was so hot. This time, he didn't run away. Instead, he sat down in his chair and ordered me to dry it for him."
"The premise is that you can't use your hands."
Gu Lianzhou's Adam's apple bobbed heavily.
Delusions, like vines, suddenly sprang from the depths of his heart, entangled his reason.
He gripped the pages tightly, pressing them until his fingertips turned white, before he could suppress all his gloomy thoughts and continue reading.
"My brother's pillow smells like him, so I left some of mine on it while he was away."
He probably didn't notice.
"When he goes to sleep at night, he'll use that pillow as his head, and when he turns over, his lips will touch it..."
Veins bulged on Gu Lianzhou's forehead.
Her slender fingers twirled the pages, turning the pages of her secrets and fantasies.
Bathroom, dining table, study, elevator... even the shopping mall, and the meeting room they spent time together!
She considered every possible avenue she had come into contact with.
And he was the protagonist of all those events!
