Sheng Tang and Gu Shiting had talked, but neither side had confronted each other directly. This doesn’t mean she could sit next to him and his girlfriend as if nothing happened.
She smiled awkwardly, wanting to change her seat, but Su Luo had already spotted her.
"Miss Sheng?" she greeted Sheng Tang sweetly.
She wasn’t as strikingly beautiful as Sheng Tang, but she was lively and youthful, with a sweet smile that always elicited fondness.
Sheng Tang nodded at her and returned the smile.
"Are you and Brother Jiahuai here to watch the match as well?" The audience was a bit noisy, so Su Luo raised her voice slightly, worried that Sheng Tang might not hear her.
Before Sheng Tang could respond, Su Luo continued with a smile, "I saw Brother Jiahuai."
Following her finger, Sheng Tang turned around and saw Gu Jiahui walking towards them.
Sheng Tang: "..."
Honestly, she couldn’t imagine a more melodramatic scene.
Why was Gu Jiahui here?
Did he specifically buy a ticket? He couldn’t have known in advance that Gu Shiting would also be here.
Gu Jiahui naturally walked to her side, noticed she was still in a daze, and laughed, "Sit down, you’re blocking others by standing."
Sheng Tang had no choice but to sit down.
Her seat was right next to Gu Shiting’s, and she instinctively felt she was touching him.
Gu Jiahui glanced at Gu Shiting, politely extended his hand to shake his, then circled around him to shake hands with Su Luo.
"It’s such a coincidence to meet here; let’s go have a late-night snack together after this!" Su Luo exclaimed loudly.
Gu Shiting couldn’t hear others’ voices or see them; at that moment, his eyes and heart were entirely filled with Sheng Tang.
He had come to watch Zhou Yu’s match alone today.
He knew many things about Sheng Tang, all told to him by Zhou Yu, like Sheng Tang’s depression.
Zhou Yu was his only friend; every time he secretly returned to the country, he would meet Zhou Yu, who also understood the reason behind his breakup with Sheng Tang.
"...I also invited Sheng Tang. If you have time, you should come over." Zhou Yu had said while giving him the ticket.
Gu Shiting told himself not to keep seeking her out, that an ex-boyfriend should appear less in her life. He wanted her to focus on her acting, live a new life, and enjoy new love.
But he couldn’t help himself.
Sheng Tang’s movie was in theaters for thirty days, and he watched it thirty times.
In the film, Li Hong and Double-faced Li Lan seemed like her, yet they weren’t. She had brought these characters to life, separating them from herself.
In the movie, he could scarcely find traces of Sheng Tang’s life; even the small details and gestures were absent.
Still, he watched greedily.
As soon as the movie left theaters, he bought the DVD to watch repeatedly.
He wanted to see her, not just in photos but alive and moving, speaking.
He bought every magazine featuring her interviews.
When the movie was a hit, there was a live broadcast one afternoon at three o’clock, and Gu Shiting was in a meeting that hadn’t ended.
Everyone saw the new boss was restless, and when it was almost time, he found an excuse to sneak out, making the whole meeting room wait for him for thirty minutes.
Zhou Yu said Sheng Tang would come, which greatly tempted him, and try as he might, he couldn’t resist the urge to see her.
Gu Shiting came, pretending it was a coincidence.
He arrived at the audience seats at seven o’clock, not expecting to see Sheng Tang yet, but Su Luo appeared first.
Su Luo’s ticket wasn’t originally next to him, but she was thrilled to see him, softly persuaded a young man next to her, and changed seats.
"Tangtang has seen me with Su Luo twice; will she misunderstand?" Out of nowhere, Gu Shiting had this sudden thought in his heart.
