Back Then, I Adored You

Thinking about this, Gu Yusheng couldn’t help increasing the strength in his lips and teeth. Because he kissed so violently that he bit Qin Zhi’ai, she was in pain. With her eyelashes trembling gently, Qin Zhi’ai didn’t escape, but pulled tighter and tighter on Gu Yusheng’s neck. Like him, she exerted all of her strength to kiss him back.

The two people kissed a little longer than their first kiss. It seemed like they wanted to kiss like this until the end of their lives. After kissing for a long time, they finally stopped.

Qin Zhi’ai seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Leaning in Gu Yusheng’s arms, she didn’t move.

Gu Yusheng hugged her, and his breath grew a bit heavy.

The wind was even harsher, and after a while, the temperature became a bit colder. Qin Zhi’ai couldn’t help shivering, which pulled Gu Yusheng back from the hot kiss. He bowed his head and glanced at the time on his watch. It was close to two o’clock in the morning. He said, “Shall we go?”

As he spoke, Gu Yusheng wanted to hold Qin Zhi’ai’s hand, while Qin Zhi’ai moved closer in his arms. Because her face was still buried in his chest, the words she spoke were somewhat muffled. “Wait a moment.”

As her voice settled, she still couldn’t hold back, with a tear slowly oozing out from her tight eyes.

Gu Yusheng, I don’t want to admit to myself that I’m just a passenger in your life, but when it’s all said and done, I still have to face it.

Gu Yusheng, I love you.

Gu Yusheng… Goodbye.

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t leave Gu Yusheng’s arms until she had calmed down, then she said, “Let’s go.”

Gu Yusheng said, “Great.” Holding Qin Zhi’ai’s hand, they walked in the direction of the parking lot. Because the wind was so strong, after a few steps, Gu Yusheng stopped and took off his jacket to put it on Qin Zhi’ai’s body. Then, instead of holding her hand, he put his hand on her shoulder, using his body to block the wind for her.

…

After the two people had walked far away, Liang Doukou came out from behind a street lamp not far away.

There was no look on her face, and she took her steps in a very calm way. She walked to the bench where Gu Yusheng had sat for a while, then looked at the fountain where Qin Zhi’ai had stood and sang, then finally walked to the place where Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi’ai had kissed and stopped there.

The wind was very strong. It seems that the hat on her head could be blown away at any time.

She didn’t know how long she stood there. Blinking her eyes, she raised her feet and trudged step by step along the route that Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi’ai had taken.

As soon as she approached the parking lot, Liang Doukou saw the car that belonged to Gu Yusheng coming out of the parking lot.

She was afraid of being discovered and hurriedly hid behind a tree.

Not moving yet, the car stopped. The front of the car just happened to face the place where she stood. Through the windshield, she clearly saw that Gu Yusheng bent to help Qin Zhi’ai put on her seatbelt, then held her face, kissed her lips for a while, and let her go of her reluctantly to step on the accelerator again.

The car sped up and roared past her.

In just the blink of an eye, the car disappeared, but Liang Doukou seemed to be frozen beside the tree. She didn’t notice that she was holding the tree with her nails stabbing into the bark until drops of blood dribbled onto the tree under her fingernails, she felt a faint pain. Shifting her eyes a little in a sluggish way, she looked at all of her bleeding fingers.
