As it turned out, she knew her lover well.
She hadn’t even turned to the third page of her book when the door to her room was opened.
Gu Shengyin didn’t get up, and with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, she watched the man who entered, "Brother, what brings you here?"
Song Yi, feeling her uncharacteristically cold demeanor, found it profoundly satisfying.
"I noticed you didn’t eat much tonight, came to check if you’re feeling unwell," Song Yi said as he sat down in the chair beside her bed.
Gu Shengyin snapped the book shut with a "thwap," "Doesn’t brother have his beloved already? How come you still have time to worry about me so late?"
Hearing the genuine annoyance in her tone, Song Yi spread his hands in a helpless gesture to clarify, "That person is a designer I know; she admires mom greatly and wanted to meet mom through me."
Gu Shengyin remained cool, "Oh, what does that have to do with me?"
With a look of ’I’ll indulge you even if you’re being unreasonable’, Song Yi watched her tenderly and said, "I was worried my cute sister would be jealous and get upset."
Gu Shengyin still feigned toughness, "What a joke, I certainly wouldn’t get upset mmph mmph mmph..."
She pushed him away with all her strength, looking at him incredulously, "You’re crazy!"
Song Yi shook his head with a smile, "I’m not crazy, I’m very lucid, Qin Qin."
He had wanted to do this long ago, only, he had been holding back.
Gu Shengyin had to admit, this man had a thorough psychological knowledge of her.
But what good was his thorough analysis? They faced a chasm that could never be bridged.
She said calmly, "Where is your reason?"
Song Yi suddenly laughed, "Qin Qin, you’re dodging my question."
He suddenly leaned closer to Gu Shengyin, his large frame completely enveloping her, "You have feelings for me too, don’t you?"
Gu Shengyin lowered her gaze; she couldn’t answer this question.
But Song Yi already knew the answer.
He began to smile, not the usual refreshing smile, but a genuine one, radiating from within, filling his entire face with joy.
He couldn’t help but hug Gu Shengyin, "I’m really happy, Qin Qin."
Gu Shengyin was momentarily dazzled by his genuinely happy smile, he knew her tacit consent had made him very happy.
But she had to tell him the harsh reality, "But we..."
"No," Song Yi raised his hand to cover the corner of her mouth, "Qin Qin, you worry too much."
What? Gu Shengyin looked up in shock.
