The person standing by the window noticed him, turned around, and the faint smile disappeared after he saw who it was.
Shen Yu lowered his eyes, silently returned to the bed from the window, then covered himself with the quilt and turned his back to Gu Yingyi.
Gu Yingyi felt a little uncomfortable. Why did he feel bad when he saw him?
He glanced out the window that Shen Yu had just looked at, and saw a few bright lights slowly rising in the inky night sky. It turned out that someone was releasing sky lanterns in an open area. These lanterns have been improved and will automatically extinguish after a period of time in the air, so they are allowed to be released in the city.
Shen Yu laughed because he saw this.
Shen Yu likes to watch lanterns, and the A City Cultural Festival happened to be preparing a wishing lantern festival.
Gu Yingyi learned about this from a conversation among company employees, and subconsciously he thought of taking Shen Yu to see it, so that he could feel better and get out of Lele’s sadness as soon as possible.
The Lantern Festival starts tonight, so Gu Yingyi left work early and went to the hospital to pick up Shen Yu.
Shen Yu didn’t know where to go and didn’t ask much. He didn’t want to talk to Gu Yingyi, so he sat quietly in his seat like a mute.
Gu Yingyi was sitting on the other side and glanced at Shen Yu who was looking down.
Neither of them spoke, and the car was silent.
Driving past the bustling streets, tall buildings gradually recede into the distance, the road narrows, and the lush trees on the roadside gradually become clearer.
The car drove on the winding road for a while and came to an open space. The place was brightly lit and the lantern festival was arranged particularly beautifully.
The place was bustling with people, adults and children alike were holding all kinds of lanterns in their hands. Some were releasing wishing lanterns by the river, while others were releasing Kongming lanterns in open areas.
Shen Yu just lazily raised his eyelids and looked around, his eyes still gray, and he did not show any interest in new things.
This is not what Gu Yingyi thought.
”Yu Yu wants to go home.” Shen Yu lowered his head and said coldly.
Gu Yingyi didn’t say anything, just stared at Shen Yu in silence for a few seconds.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said to Shen Yu, “You can make a wish with a Kongming lantern.”
When making a wish was mentioned, Shen Yu raised his head and looked at Gu Yingyi with his somewhat distant eyes without understanding what he meant.
Gu Yingyi added: “You can write your wishes on the Kongming lanterns. The higher the lanterns are, the greater the chances of your wishes coming true.”
After saying this, Gu Yingyi was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that he could actually say such words to coax a child.
Shen Yu seemed to understand, and lowered his head in thought. Then he looked up and asked Gu Yingyi, with a hint of uncertainty in his gray eyes, “Can I make a wish for the baby?”
Gu Yingyi was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Shen Yu finally showed interest and picked out a Kongming lantern that he thought was the most beautiful from a small stall.
It was a light yellow lamp with a cute little rabbit painted on it. The little rabbit was holding the moon in its arms. It was very delicate and Lele would definitely like it.
Shen Yu thought about it seriously, and finally wrote on the Kongming lantern, “I wish Lele to be happy every day even in a very far place.”
Gu Yingyi stood aside and watched him quietly. He wrote carefully and seriously. After he finished writing, Gu Yingyi took the Kongming lantern from his hand. He asked Shen Yu to hold the top of the Kongming lantern, while Gu Yingyi squatted down and took out a lighter to light the wax underneath.
The wax burned, and the heat slowly inflated the Kongming lantern. Gu Yingyi asked Shen Yu to raise his arm a little, and the two of them supported the Kongming lantern that was filled with heat and continued to grow.
”Just wait a while and then you can let go.” Gu Yingyi said.
Shen Yu closed his eyes and silently made a wish in his heart. He hoped that Lele would be happy every day in another place and would no longer be sick.
Gu Yingyi’s gaze involuntarily fell on Shen Yu’s face. The hazy orange light from the lantern festival above his head refracted a halo on his soft hair, casting a small shadow on his handsome face. His eyelashes were very long, like butterfly wings.
After he made his wish, he opened his eyes. After Gu Yingyi let go of his hand, Shen Yu also relaxed. The Kongming lantern carrying Shen Yu’s wish slowly rose up, and the light floated farther and farther away, and became smaller and smaller.
There were other people around also releasing lanterns, and the dark night sky was lit up by countless Kongming lanterns.
Shen Yu raised his head, his bright black eyes fixed on the Kongming lantern that belonged to him. The lantern had risen very high and was almost out of sight.
This means that his wish will definitely come true.
The corners of his mouth slowly rose into a faint, gentle smile, and the shallow dimples on his cheeks also appeared with the smile.
His heart moved slightly, and Gu Yingyi, who had been staring at Shen Yu, felt as if some indescribable impulse was spreading in his chest.
Gu Yingyi could no longer see anything, only Shen Yu was left in his eyes.
Shen Yu seemed to notice his intense gaze and turned to look at him. Before he could put away his smile, their eyes met and Gu Yingyi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
”Shen Yu…” Gu Yingyi called him in a hoarse voice, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of Shen Yu’s neck and pulled him in, and couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss his rosy lips.
Shen Yu finally reacted and pushed Gu Yingyi away.
Gu Yingyi also woke up after being pushed like this.
What was he doing just now? He actually wanted to kiss Shen Yu?
Gu Yingyi was a little unable to understand his own behavior just now, but he was more filled with nameless anger after being pushed away by Shen Yu.
Shen Yu looked at him somewhat panickedly, with resistance in his eyes. He took a few steps back, moving away from Gu Yingyi.
He heard Shen Yu stammer, “Yu Yu, don’t do it.”
don’t want.
Here it is again.
There was everything in Shen Yu’s eyes: fear, resistance, and resentment, but the only thing missing was the love that was about to overflow for him before.
Gu Yingyi’s anger grew even stronger, but he couldn’t say anything when he saw Shen Yu’s cowardly look. As a result, he was at a loss for a long time, so he had to put on a cold face and said, “If you don’t want to play, go home.”
After saying that, he turned and left. Shen Yu lowered his head and followed him silently.
Gu Yingyi walked very fast at first, but later when he found that Shen Yu could not keep up, he slowed down slightly.
In the villa, Shen Chao, who had been waiting for Gu Yingyi to come back for a long time, went to the company but couldn’t find anyone. He seemed a little annoyed because Gu Yingyi had clearly promised to have dinner with him today.
He also wanted to take advantage of this evening to discuss with Gu Yingyi the venue for his comeback concert next week.
Gu Yingyi loves him so much that as long as he asks, Gu Yingyi will definitely help him complete these tasks.
When he couldn’t find anyone, he went to find Gu Yingyi’s schedule assistant, who was mainly responsible for arranging Gu Yingyi’s work meetings. He found the person and asked, “Where is your CEO Gu? Did he have any unexpected social engagements?”
The itinerary assistant was a girl in her twenties. She replied, “Mr. Gu canceled the meeting an hour ago and left. He didn’t tell me the specific itinerary, but he asked me about the location of the Lantern Festival in City A. Maybe he wanted to go take a look first and then surprise you with a proposal.”
This young assistant has only been here for a short time and does not know anything about the relationship between Gu Yingyi and Shen Yu. Everyone in the company knows that Shen Chao is about to get engaged to Gu Yingyi. Gu Yingyi gives Shen Chao whatever he wants, which shows how much Gu Yingyi dotes on their future president’s wife.
Shen Chao smiled. If Shen Yu was in the villa, he thought that Gu Yingyi might want to give him a surprise, but Shen Yu was not in the villa and Gu Yingyi was not in the company.
Gu Yingyi’s schedule assistant didn’t know where Gu Yingyi had gone. How could Gu Yingyi, who always focused on work, turn down an entire afternoon of meetings? There was definitely something strange.
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly had a guess in his mind.
He asked the itinerary assistant for the address of the lantern festival and immediately rushed there.
Gu Yingyi’s company was very close to the Lantern Festival, and the festival was still a long time away from ending. Gu Yingyi had only been gone for an hour, so they must still be there.
What a coincidence. Not long after Shen Chao arrived at the place, he saw two people walking one after another on the roadside not far away. The one in front was Gu Yingyi. Gu Yingyi walked two steps and then stopped to wait for the slow-moving Shen Yu.
This scene really stimulated Shen Chao. He slammed on the brakes and the tires squeaked with a harsh sound, but the lights were dim and Gu Yingyi and Shen Yu did not hear the brake sound in front.
Shen Chao scratched the steering wheel with his fingernails, he took out his cell phone and called Gu Yingyi.
The phone in his pocket vibrated. Gu Yingyi stopped and took out the phone from his suit pocket. After seeing the caller ID, he hesitated for a moment before swiping to answer the call.
”A Chao.”
On the phone, Shen Chao used a coquettish voice to act coquettishly with him and asked him: “Ying Yi, where are you? The assistant said you were not in the company. Didn’t you say you would accompany me to dinner tonight? I have been waiting for you for a long time. You didn’t forget, did you?”
Gu Yingyi was obviously stunned. He actually forgot that he had promised Shen Chao to have dinner with him today.
Holding the phone to his ear, he glanced at Shen Yu behind him and felt a little guilty for no reason. He walked away quickly, not wanting Shen Chao on the phone to hear the noisy sounds from the lantern festival.
Gu Yingyi lied to Shen Chao, “I’m sorry, Chao, I’m too busy at work and I have to attend a social event. Can I make it up to you tomorrow?”
Listening to what Gu Yingyi said on the phone, Shen Chao clenched the phone tightly, his face gloomy and silent as he stared at Gu Yingyi who was with Shen Yu not far away.
When did Gu Yingyi learn to lie to him?
There were a row of nail marks on the leather steering wheel. Shen Chao smiled back at him, but his eyes were extremely cold. “It’s okay. Don’t work too hard and drink less.”
Shen Chao’s considerate voice came from the phone, and Gu Yingyi breathed a sigh of relief, “Okay, you should go to bed early.”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yingyi turned around and saw Shen Yu had been listening to his conversation with Shen Chao behind him.
The sigh of relief he had just breathed was lifted up again. Gu Yingyi suddenly had the illusion that he was having an affair with Shen Yu, but Shen Yu heard his partner checking on him.
Shen Yu quickly lowered his eyes and said in a more distant tone: “Brother will be unhappy if you come out with Yu Yu.”
Gu Yingyi’s expression moved slightly, and he opened his mouth but had nothing to say.
It’s so weird, his behavior towards Shen Yu has been so weird lately.
Gu Yingyi even felt that it was not his own doing.
He tried hard to think of the purpose of pleasing Shen Yu, but after racking his brains he only got one answer: he just wanted to see a smile on Shen Yu’s face.
This answer made Gu Yingyi feel extremely absurd.
He didn’t say anything and got into the car with a grim expression. Shen Yu also opened the door and sat in, sitting one seat away from Gu Yingyi.
