Wild Star Lantern

Chapter 36: Wild Stars as Lamps

Views:

The star-studded show in the square was coming to an end, and the music reached its climax.

On the glass curtain wall, the Milky Way flickers, like an empty feast in the depths of the universe.

Under the glass curtain wall, fountains suddenly rose, people gathered, and the cheers and shouts almost competed with the music.

But Gu Jianian was completely unable to concentrate on feeling these things.

All her senses, sight, hearing, smell, touch...

All are overshadowed by another person.

Amid the bustling crowd, her cheek was buried in his warm chest through a thin shirt, her ears were filled with his breathing and heartbeat, and her nose was filled with his fresh and pleasant scent.

Gu Jianian's brain was like the Milky Way exploding, exploding into a blank starlight. His hands were stiffly clenched at his sides, unable to react.

Fortunately, after a brief moment, he slowly let go of her and took a step back with restraint and politeness.

In that instant, the night wind rushed through the few centimeters between the two of them.

Gu Jianian's cheeks inevitably burned.

My heart seemed to escape from my chest.

It was just a very brief hug, with a break for a few words.

He closed his hands lightly and symbolically, without using too much force.

It was like a polite hug between friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Just like the affectionate signature at the end of the letter, this hug was also on the edge of ambiguity, making it difficult for her to guess in the expected direction.

What's more—

In the gentle night of Zhuoshan, the music in the square gradually faded away, and the crowd also poured out of the square like a receding tide.

Before the beauty arose, Gu Jianian closed his eyes, his face turning pale little by little, forcing out those shameless hopes in his subconscious.

The fact that he could find her meant that he had seen through her clumsy lies.

Then her purpose of coming to Zhushan today was self-evident in his eyes.

As for why he left again—

Gu Jianian lowered his head and stared absentmindedly at the hem of his black shirt. He was so smart that he could even find her where she was, so he probably guessed it.

Thinking of this, Gu Jianian bit his lower lip deeply.

She was still far from figuring out how to face him.

The crowd dispersed and the square slowly returned to silence, but both of them could not calm down.

After a long time, Chi Yan spoke first.

His voice was also extremely hoarse.

"Stay at my house tonight. I'll take you back to Yunmo tomorrow. Come with me back to the studio to get some things. I left in such a hurry that I didn't even take the keys home. Is that okay?"

Gu Jianian opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.

The guilt in my heart grew stronger.

He knew everything, but still treated her the same as before, taking care of her as an innocent child. But could she really be as shameless as before

My thoughts are in a mess.

Gu Jianian nodded resignedly and followed him to the car in a daze.

Neither of them spoke along the way.

While waiting in line for the red light, Chi Yan turned his head and saw the girl's white knuckles tightly grasping the hem of her skirt.

I reminded myself with a pain in my heart to take it slow.

The studio was not far from the square. Gu Jianian wandered around for the whole night and walked through several streets, but it only took seven or eight minutes to drive there.
