He knew everything. Qin Zhiâai didnât deny it. She said yes in a low pitch.
Gu Yushengâs heart suddenly pumped faster. His voice seemed to tremble a bit. âThat night, I talked a lot. You held me like you are right now, right?â
How could he know I held him? It seems that he wasnât as drunk as she thought, Qin Zhiâai thought to herself.
She didnât know Gu Yusheng had figured it out through logical reasoning. She didnât dare to lie to him, so she nodded in acknowledgement. She continued, âYou looked sad. I just, just wanted to make you feel better.â
Gu Yusheng went quiet again, but he held Qin Zhiâai tighter.
It hadnât been a dream that night. She had taken care of him. He had thought he dreamed that hug, but it was real.
Therefore, thereforeâ¦
Gu Yusheng couldnât help holding her tighter, âIt was you.â
Qin Zhiâai was confused about what Gu Yusheng was saying to her. She couldnât help frowning and asking, âWhat about me?â
âIt was you.â It seemed that Gu Yusheng didnât hear Qin Zhiâai and murmured it again. He lowered his head and buried his face in her neck. He rubbed his face against her neck while the corners of his mouth curled up.
This little troublemaker is the girl who gave me comfort that dark night four years ago. What a coincidence! The girl I fell in love with was the one who gave me comfort, Gu Yusheng thought to himself.
Qin Zhiâai saw no response from Gu Yusheng, so she stopped asking questions.
He held her tight for a long time, until his arms got sore, then he finally let her go out of his arms.
Qin Zhiâai didnât see his face until she was out of his arms. As she saw his pale face and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, her face changed a bit. She raised her hand up to feel his forehead. It seemed a lot hotter than before. She immediately turned around to grab the bottled water and medicine she had left on the ground and passed them to Gu Yusheng. âWhy are you so hot? Hurry up and take the medicine so we can go to the hospital later.â
âNo need to go to the hospital. Iâll be fine with the medicine.â Gu Yusheng read the instructions off the fever medicine, took the pills out from the package, and swallowed them down. He saw Qin Zhiâai squatting next to him. He took off his coat and laid it on the wet stairs. âLetâs sit a bit before we leave.â
Qin Zhiâai didnât turn his suggestion down. She took a seat on the wet clothes as he had asked.
Gu Yusheng leaned on the gravestone with a bottle of water in his hand. He looked up at the dark sky without talking.
Qin Zhiâai quietly sat next to him without talking, either.
It was quiet, but it felt peaceful and comforting.
However, the quiet didnât last long before Qin Zhiâaiâs cell phone rang. She immediately took it out and found a text from Lu Bancheng asking if Gu Yusheng was home.
Qin Zhiâai remembered she had forgotten to let Lu Bancheng know she had found Gu Yusheng. She immediately looked down at her cell phone and texted Lu Bancheng back.
Gu Yusheng turned around to look at Qin Zhiâai when her phone rang. He didnât pay attention to who she was texting. He only watched her face from the side for a while. He didnât look away until she put her phone away. He stared at the street light in a distance and called her name. âLittle troublemaker.â
