She was going to Tang Song’s company to accompany him for New Year’s Eve. He must have been so busy in the office that he couldn’t even hear the phone ringing.
As she walked downstairs, she spotted a silver sports car up ahead, and Mo Ran’s steps suddenly halted!
Gu Yixuan was leaning against the car door, a cigarette pinched between his fingers. Seeing her, he also froze for a moment.
Their gazes met, and they fell into a mutual silence for two seconds.
Gu Yixuan flicked the cigarette butt into the trash can and walked over, frowning as he asked, "It’s so late, where are you going?"
"Why are you here?" Mo Ran didn’t answer his question.
"No plans, so I came to see you," he answered calmly, but Mo Ran could feel a strong sense of loneliness emanating from him.
He had come here because he had no one to spend New Year’s with, right?
They were both people with no one to accompany them...
"I need to step out for a bit, you... should go back."
"Where to? I’ll take you," Gu Yixuan’s dark eyes looked at her, filled with many emotions she couldn’t quite discern.
"No need!" Mo Ran lowered her head and continued walking forward.
Gu Yixuan grabbed her arm and said lightly, "Are you going to see Tang Song? I’ll take you."

She was surprised that he would actually offer to take her to Tang Song.
"I can take a taxi..."
"It’s not convenient to take a taxi now, let me take you. Don’t worry, I’ll leave as soon as I drop you off. Ranran, give me a chance to spend a little more time with you." The last sentence, Gu Yixuan’s tone was very gentle.
Mo Ran’s eyes flickered; she opened her mouth and let out a single word, "...Okay."
Riding in Gu Yixuan’s car, they both remained silent the entire way. Outside the window, the world was ablaze with sparkling lights, the atmosphere thick with the spirit of the New Year.
But neither could feel a trace of the festive vibe; the more jubilant the outside world became, the lonelier they felt.
When they arrived at Tang Song’s company, the door was closed, and there was nobody inside. Mo Ran felt disappointed. Where exactly had Tang Song gone?
Hadn’t he said he would come to see her after work? If he wasn’t at the office, where could he be?
Gu Yixuan stood beside her, seeing the disappointment in her eyes, his heart ached. She was upset over another man, which hurt him even more than a stabbing wound.
"He’s not here; he probably went home for the New Year," Gu Yixuan said indifferently.
Mo Ran was stunned, right, he had a home, he would go home for the New Year. Why hadn’t she thought of that?
Did she think that everyone in the world was like her, with no home to return to?
