Chapter 203 - 204: A Sweet Moment

Xia Yangyang knelt down, expressing her concern, “Gu Zhaohan, are you alright?”

Gu Zhaohan was still shivering.

Xia Yangyang didn’t know what to do, perhaps she shouldn’t have used this method at all.

Xia Yangyang said, “I’ll turn on the lights, it might help.”

“Don’t go.”

Xia Yangyang hadn’t even got up when her hand was caught by Gu Zhaohan.

He didn’t raise his head and maintained his curled-up position, but stretched out his hand and tightly gripped Xia Yangyang’s.

Xia Yangyang could only silently sit back down next to him, saying, “I won’t leave.”

They sat in silence for an indeterminate amount of time.

Xia Yangyang began to lose sensation in her hand from Gu Zhaohan’s grip.

But Xia Yangyang gradually felt Gu Zhaohan’s trembling ease.

Finally, Gu Zhaohan let go of her and looked up.

Xia Yangyang’s hand had turned pale from his grip, and she had almost lost all feeling in it.

But she still asked Gu Zhaohan with concern, “Are you feeling better now?”

Gu Zhaohan’s countenance had gradually returned to normal. Looking at Xia

Yangyang’s whitened hand, he seemed a bit apologetic, “I’m sorry.”

Xia Yangyang was taken aback, then shook her hand and laughed, “It’s alright, it will be fine in a while.”

Gu Zhaohan said, “Let’s go home.”

Xia Yangyang looked at her watch—it was already nine o’clock.

Both of them rode their bicycles home together.

They entered the house one after the other. Just as they were changing their shoes, they were encountered by Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu asked, “Did the two of you come home together?”

And returned so late.

Xia Yangyang responded, “Xiao Han and I were rehearsing for a play that is to be performed during the school festival, we just finished the rehearsal.”

When Xia Yangyang mentioned Xiao Han, Gu Zhaohan, who was changing his shoes, paused slightly.

However, Gu Mingzhu looked greatly stunned and asked Gu Zhaohan incredulously, “Is it true? You are actually participating in the stage play?”

She knew that her son hated crowds and had never participated in any performance since childhood.

However, Gu Zhaohan nonchalantly nodded and said coldly, “I’m going upstairs first.”

As Gu Zhaohan was going upstairs, Gu Qichen happened to be coming down the stairs.

Upon seeing this, Xia Yangyang joyously flung herself towards him.

Running too fast, she almost fell, but was caught around her waist by Gu Qichen, who held her in his arms.

Gu Qichen’s voice was gentle, “Still as restless as a child. It’s common sense to watch where you’re going.”

Xia Yangyang nuzzled her head in his chest and said softly, “But I missed you.” This statement touched Gu Qichen. He chuckled and pinched Xia Yangyang’s cheek, then forcefully kissed her lips.

There was no one around as they were at the turn of the stairway.

However, Gu Zhaohan hadn’t gone far.

From the stairs above, he had a clear view of this sweet scene.

Gu Zhaohan’s eyes darkened.

He quickly retreated back to his room.

Gu Qichen brushed back Xia Yangyang’s fringe and gently asked, “Why are you back so late?”

“Didn’t I tell you before? I’m rehearsing a play now. The public performance is in ten days, so I’ll be getting back late these few days.”

“Then I’ll pick you up in the evening.”

“There’s no need for that. Your nephew is there, what else would you be worrying about, since he’s rehearsing with me.”

Gu Qichen nodded, “Alright, then I’ll have to emphasize to him to take good care of his aunt.”

Xia Yangyang chuckled. Being an elder to someone older than herself felt rather peculiar.

Gu Qichen asked, “Are you hungry?”

Xia Yangyang cooed, “I’m starving. I haven’t even had dinner yet, could you make me a bowl of noodles?”

Gu Qichen replied, “Alright, my little food-lover.”

All of a sudden, Xia Yangyang remembered something, “Right, Gu Zhaohan hasn’t had dinner yet either.. Can you prepare a portion for him too?”
