"Why did you come down? It's already so late and you're still up. " Huo Shaoheng's tone was slightly reproachful as he stood up and tossed the cigarette butt into the nearby trash can. He turned around and said, "Go back, I'm leaving."
He waved at her with his back facing her.
Gu Nianzhi still stood on the steps in front of the dormitory building without moving. Her hands were in her coat pockets as she quietly watched Huo Shaoheng.
Under the streetlights, Huo Shaoheng's features no longer had the steely toughness that seeped into his bones during the day. His entire person was softened by the dim yellow streetlights, leaving only a breathtakingly handsome face.
His every move had once made her infatuated with him to the bone.
This was her former "Prince Charming" …
She had forcefully turned him from "Prince Charming" to "her man," and then in less than a year, they had almost become strangers again.
After the breakup, she had finally woken up from that deep infatuation.
Now that she looked back at her previous infatuation, she didn't feel ashamed or embarrassed.
In fact, she really missed the days when she could focus on being infatuated with him for a hundred years.
Back then, life was much simpler.
The happiest thing every day was waking up in the morning to see Huo Shaoheng, even if she had to be urged to do morning exercises as soon as she saw him …
Unfortunately, we all have to grow up.
Huo Shaoheng opened the door and sat in. He fastened his seatbelt and started the car. He was about to drive away when he saw Gu Nianzhi still standing on the steps looking at him from the corner of his eye.
She only wore a thin coat and hadn't even changed her shoes. They were the same kind of furry slippers she wore in her room.
Although they looked warm, they weren't actually warm at all outside.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and finally turned off the car. He took the key out.
He got out of the car and strode over to Gu Nianzhi to hold her arm. "Let's go, I'll take you up."
He was so strong that Gu Nianzhi couldn't push him away even after pushing him several times.
Just like that, he dragged her all the way into the elevator, almost half supporting and half carrying her.
Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses and was unhappy. "… Don't be like this. Did I agree to let you up? You're always talking to yourself. I shouldn't have been soft-hearted towards you … "
Huo Shaoheng looked down at her, his dark eyes bottomless. "You're soft-hearted towards me? Why don't I feel anything? "
"… Fine, I wasn't soft-hearted." Gu Nianzhi turned her head away stubbornly. "I was so full that I ran downstairs in the middle of the night."
Huo Shaoheng patted her head and didn't say anything else. He walked her all the way back to the dormitory and watched as she took out her keys to open the door. Then, he walked in with her and closed the door behind him.
The lights in the living room weren't on, but the light from the street lamps shone through Gu Nianzhi's open door.
After many layers of filtering, the light was so dim that it was almost gone. There was only a layer of dim yellow shadow that allowed people to see the furnishings in the room.
"I'm leaving. Last time, I said that I couldn't see you until your lawsuit was over, but because of Ye Xuan's matter today, I had no choice but to come and see you. You'll have to rely on yourself from now on. "Huo Shaoheng patted her head and stood there, with no intention of moving forward.
Behind him was the door. Although it was already closed, his hand was on the doorknob, so he could open it at any time.
So it was because he wouldn't be able to see her for a while after they parted, so he refused to leave downstairs?
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help imagining things, but she also felt that Huo Shaoheng wasn't the kind of person who cared about relationships.
The simple reason he didn't leave was probably because he didn't have anything to do when he went back, so he wanted to think about things …
Of course, Gu Nianzhi felt that the possibility was very small.
After all, on such a cold day, who would want to "think about things" outdoors?
She couldn't figure out Huo Shaoheng's thoughts for a moment.
Huo Shaoheng took her hand and shook it. Intertwining their fingers, Gu Nianzhi felt that his hand was very cold, like ice.
This was the result of smoking outside on a winter night.
"Wait …" Gu Nianzhi said as she hurried into her room and took out a pair of cashmere leather gloves she had bought in the past. "Put this on. Smoking outside won't freeze your hands."
Huo Shaoheng took it and smiled. "I thought you were going to persuade me to quit smoking."
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched. "This is your personal hobby. I won't interfere."
Unless you wanted to quit smoking yourself, it would only annoy you no matter how much other people talked about it.
Gu Nianzhi watched Huo Shaoheng put on the gloves, and he looked even more stylish. She was very satisfied with her own taste.
She had originally bought this pair of gloves to give to Huo Shaoheng as a Christmas gift …
Now there was no need to give it to him.
"Go to sleep. Don't stay up late anymore. " Huo Shaoheng didn't know about Gu Nianzhi's thoughts. He raised his gloved hands and opened his arms to her. "Aren't you going to give me a goodbye kiss?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
"If you won't give it to me, then I will." Huo Shaoheng said with a smile. His voice seemed to come from his chest, and it had a pleasant ending. He bowed slightly and slowly pressed his lips against Gu Nianzhi's.
Because he was worried that Gu Nianzhi would be disgusted, Huo Shaoheng didn't kiss her as deeply as before. He only kissed her lightly, and his lips gently brushed against hers. He paused for a moment, then reluctantly rolled around twice before immediately separating. He didn't even give her a chance to object.
However, Gu Nianzhi was so shocked by the kiss that she almost couldn't breathe.
It was the meeting of lips against lips. It was like a breeze blowing over a lake that had just thawed in early spring. There was a slight coolness of ice shards, but it could also create faint ripples. It was also like a newly grown willow branch hanging down from a tree, gently touching the surface of the lake bit by bit. It was firm but not forceful.
It was clearly just a thin kiss, but Gu Nianzhi felt dizzy.
She didn't know why, but this kiss that wasn't deep shocked her more than the more intense kisses she had before. She couldn't help but tremble from the bottom of her heart, and her legs involuntarily went weak.
This kind of kiss made her feel cherished, valued, and treasured.
She looked up at Huo Shaoheng with a slight sense of dizziness.
It was the first time she looked at him with such emotion since she returned from Germany.
Huo Shaoheng sensed that Gu Nianzhi's emotions were strange, and his heart fluttered slightly.
Her watery eyes flashed in front of him, and her plump, curvy lips were slightly pouting. She was still maintaining a position suitable for kissing.
He couldn't help but want to deepen the kiss, but when he saw Gu Nianzhi's blushing cheeks and thought of her lack of sleep, he held back.
He only lowered his head and touched his forehead with hers. "Hurry up and go to sleep. You can barely keep your eyes open. "
Gu Nianzhi obediently agreed and looked up at Huo Shaoheng's lips. She originally wanted more, but when she thought of the beauty of the shallow kiss just now, she held back.
It was such a beautiful memory, and she couldn't bear to destroy it.
Huo Shaoheng read her mind, and slowly reached out to hug her. He pulled her into his embrace and whispered, "… You still want more? Hmm? "
