Back Then, I Adored You

The half-closed door was pushed open once again.

Gu Yusheng thought it was Lu Bancheng coming back. Without looking at the person, he said straightforwardly, "Lu Bancheng, are you finished?"

The person who had pushed the door open was shocked and paused halfway through. After about two minutes had passed, a head poked out carefully from behind the door. "Mr. Gu, it's me."

Hearing Xiaowang's voice, Gu Yusheng was slightly stunned.

Xiaowang continued to say, "Mr. Gu, I brought the porridge you wanted."

Gu Yusheng turned his head and looked at the take-out bag that Xiaowang was holding in his hand. Then he pressed his lips together and raised his chin toward the coffee table without saying anything.

Xiaowang understood what Gu Yusheng meant. He pushed the door open and picked the pillow up as he walked into the suite carefully.

After putting the take-out on the coffee table, Xiaowang took the pillow to the bed. Gu Yusheng suddenly asked, "You got any cigarettes?"

"Yes," Xiaowang responded. He took a cigarette case out of his pocket and handed it to Gu Yusheng.

Gu Yusheng took it, drew out a cigarette, put it into his mouth, and lit it.

Xiaowang stood by and stared at Gu Yusheng for a while. When he thought of Liang Doukou, who had ran into the elevator with teary eyes while he was walking out of it, he opened his mouth, saying, "Mr. Gu, when I got out of the elevator, I saw Miss Liang crying and running into the elevator."

Crying… When Gu Yusheng heard that word, his fingertips trembled a bit, and the ash dropped onto the white sheets.

After a few seconds, Gu Yusheng pinched the ash on the sheets randomly with one hand. He put the cigarette to his mouth with the other and inhaled deeply.

"Well, it's still raining, and it'll be difficult for her to take a taxi in such a bad weather. Should I drive her home?" Seeing that Gu Yusheng remained calm, Xiaowang plucked up the courage to ask directly.

"It's her who wants to go home, not me! So ask her!" Surrounded by smoke, Gu Yusheng suddenly raised his eyes and glared at Xiaowang.

Xiaowang instinctively took a step back, and understood the implied meaning of his words in an instant. Obviously, he wanted him to take her home, so Xiaowang responded straightforwardly, "I understand, Mr. Gu. I'll drive Miss Liang home."

After saying that, Xiaowang hurriedly turned around and ran out of the door.

Gu Yusheng hadn't realized what Xiaowang had said until the door was closed. He suddenly became angry, for even Xiaowang could see through his mind. He took the pillow by the bedside and abruptly threw it toward the door, swearing in his mind, You understand nothing at all!

After a cigarette, Gu Yusheng calmed down a bit. He grabbed another pillow, put it behind his head, and lay down.

When he had just closed his eyes, he noticed something was wrong. He felt wetness behind his left ear, so he felt around the area. He suddenly sat up and looked at the pillow.

The traces of tears were all over it…
