Xu Wan hung up the phone, his hand holding the phone dropped down, and he sat down, leaning back on the sofa.

She told herself that since she had made up her mind, she should not waver.

Gu Huaizhi didn't come back the whole night, and Xu Wan tossed and turned all night.

He seemed absent-minded at work the next day, and she didn't notice it until it was time to get off work.

"Awan, it's time to get off work. Do you want to go home together?" Qin Rou came to her with her bag.

Xu Wan, who was sitting in front of the computer in a daze, finally came to his senses and looked up at her.

"You go back first, I have something else to do."

"What's the matter? I can go with you." She said naturally.

"No need..." Xu Wan wanted to say something when Gong Yilu came.

"I'm here." The man was still wearing a dark windbreaker, standing lazily at the door with a smile on his face.

"Second Master Gong?" Qin Rou asked in confusion.

"Meow——" The cat that had been quietly staying at Xu Wan's feet saw Gong Yilu and meowed.

"Arou, you go back first." Xu Wan picked up the cat at her feet, picked up her bag, and walked towards the man at the door.

Qin Rou's brain crashed for a while, but she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going back with me?"

Xu Wan just shook his head, then looked at Gong Yilu, "Let's go."

He looked at Xu Wan, reached out to take the bag from her hand, and walked out.

Seeing the two people's backs getting farther and farther away, Qin Rou always felt that something was wrong, so she immediately took out her cell phone and made a call.

"Arou? How come you have time to call me today?" As soon as the phone was connected, Gu Jinxuan's happy voice was heard.

"Did Mr. Gu and A Wan have a fight?" Qin Rou asked with a frown.

"My brother and sister-in-law?" Gu Jinxuan paused, "Aren't they getting along well? Why are you saying that suddenly?"

"I don't know, I just feel like A-Wan hasn't been quite right these past two days. Just now, Master Gong came to pick A-Wan up!"

"What?! I'll go ask my brother." He said immediately.

In the car.

Xu Wan sat in the back seat holding Zhaocai, his hand occasionally tapping the cat in his arms, and he remained silent.

Gong Yilu sat beside her and looked at her sideways. She was so quiet that he was a little uncomfortable with it.

After a long while, Gong Yilu took the initiative to speak and broke the silence: "...Have you decided?"

"Yeah." She responded expressionlessly.

The dream must end eventually, and the director’s mother is still waiting for her.

Coming into this world and meeting Gu Huaizhi was like a beautiful dream carefully woven for her.

He lowered his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Don't you regret it?"

Xu Wan just curled her lips in a mocking manner and looked at him: "I don't have a choice, do I?"

"You can...stay." His voice was a little hoarse.

Xu Wan looked at him indifferently and smiled with an ambiguous smile: "If I chose to stay, I wouldn't be here."

Gong Yilu curled his lips in self-mockery, turned his head, leaned back in his seat, and smiled lazily: "What do you like about Gu Huaizhi?"

His question made Xu Wan fall into deep thought.

What does she like about Gu Huaizhi?

Is it the clumsiness of being successful in business but expressing love directly in love?

Was it him who expressed his love for her again and again despite her rejection?

Is it because of his sincerity that he is always secretly jealous and sad?

Thinking of his clumsiness, Xu Wan couldn't help but smile.

Gong Yilu's originally upturned mouth corners suddenly pulled down, "Do you like it so much?"

Xu Wan suppressed the smile on his face and asked, "Second Master, are you so concerned about other people's feelings?"

He just chuckled: "You are not someone else."

Xu Wan couldn't help but look at him when he heard that, and leaned back relaxedly, "What about you?"

"what?"

"What do you like about me?" she asked bluntly.

Gong Yilu looked at her in surprise, "So confident?"

"Apart from feelings, I really can't think of anything about me that the Second Master could plot against." Xu Wan looked at him leisurely.

"Like... Such an unfamiliar word, maybe." He lowered his eyes, "I like the way you speak and act, living freely and passionately."

"Willful? It seems that the word "willful" is more applicable to Second Master, right?"

"It's different. Your willfulness is real, but mine is just a mask." He said frankly.

A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Wan's eyes, but he said nothing more.

After a pause, he continued, "You don't have to call me Second Master, just call me by my name."

"Okay, Second Master."

"Just call me by my name."

"I understand, Second Master."

"...Heh, I like that about you."

He weighs 90 kilograms but is 89 kilograms rebellious.

Xu Wan's expression froze and he chose to keep silent.

Gong Yilu naturally saw her reaction, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "I just like the way you are silent."

She couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at him: "Brother, are you having your period? Are you lonely? What kind of woman do you want? Please let me go!"

"Brother? My mother didn't give birth to a sister for me, but I can consider being a brother." He continued to talk to himself, "So far, except for you, there is really no woman who is not afraid of me and orders me around."

Xu Wan: “…” Why didn’t I notice that Gong Yilu was so reserved before?

Also, when did she ever order him around?

It is simply a naked slander!

Gong Yilu held his chin with one hand and stared at Xu Wan without blinking.

Xu Wan could feel his burning gaze. She looked out the window and took in the night view of Kyoto.

"Am I really ugly? You don't even want to look at me." His tone was calm but mixed with a bit of sadness.

"I get annoyed when I see you." Xu Wan turned her head away without even looking at him.

……

The car stopped in the suburbs.

In the desolate area, there was only a house that looked like it was made of metal.

"We're here, get out of the car." Gong Yilu unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.

When Xu Wan got out of the car, a cold wind blew over. The sky was pitch black with only a hazy moon hanging in the sky.

She rubbed her hands subconsciously, "Are you sure you're not here to kill people?"

The man suddenly approached her and said, "You are doomed."

Xu Wan took a step back.

Gong Yilu just held the windbreaker in his hand and said: "It's cold here at night."

“No——” Seeing that he seemed to want to give her the coat, before Xu Wan could say anything to refuse, Gong Yilu spoke.

"Remember to bring an extra coat next time. Luckily I have one, otherwise I would have been blown away." As he spoke, he calmly put on his windbreaker.

Xu Wan: “…”

"Let's go." He fastened the belt of his windbreaker and turned to look at her.

Xu Wan pursed her lips, took a long sigh, then nodded and followed him.
