Qin Zhi’ai walked into the bedroom with a frown. She looked out of the window and was surprised to see Gu Yusheng there.
Actually, she knew she hadn’t seen it wrong, even with just a glance. It was him. He had come home this afternoon and left.
He’s home now. Why didn’t he come in? What is he standing there for? Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself.
No lights were turned on in the bedroom, so it was dark where Qin Zhi’ai was. She didn’t have to worry about Gu Yusheng seeing her. Therefore, she was able to watch him without worrying about being caught.
Gu Yusheng looked like he couldn’t feel the rain. He quietly stood there, smoking under the streetlamp.

He didn’t turn off the car, keeping the car parked in front of him with its hazard lights on.
He seemed to be bothered by something and kept turning around to check the house’s door. Qin Zhi’ai thought he would come in a couple of times, but he didn’t move at the end for whatever reason.
The rain became heavier. His hair was completely soaked by it. His clothes were wet, too. The white shirt became translucent and stuck to his body, making him look sexy and gorgeous.
He was a distance away from her, so as the rain grew heavier, Qin Zhi’ai could barely see his figure. However, without knowing why, Qin Zhi’ai could tell he was sad from the way he stood in the rain with a cigarette.
It was unclear how much time had passed before the rain stopped.
The water beads dripped on the windows. Qin Zhi’ai saw the water dripping from his hair. The cigarette between his fingers was put out by the rain.
He didn’t light another cigarette. He stood there with wet clothes on for a while before he tossed the cigarette in the trash bin next to him. After, he pulled the car door open and took a seat in the car.
As the headlights turned on, he drove away and disappeared from Qin Zhi’ai’s sight.
Qin Zhi’ai watched the streetlamp where Gu Yusheng had stood at for a long time with her scripts in her arms before she climbed back into bed.
She hadn’t been sleepy before and only became more awake.
…
She had gone to sleep late the night before, so she didn’t wake up until noon the next day.
After brushing her teeth and taking a shower, she walked out of the bedroom. As she was walking to the staircase, not yet downstairs, she heard the conversation from downstairs floating up.
“Mr. Gu, what is this call about? How can I help you?” the housekeeper said.

The housekeeper must have been doing something at the same time, since she had the speaker on. After she asked, there was static noise before she heard Gu Yusheng’s voice. He sounded very casual. “Is everything all right at home?”historical
“Yes, Miss is still sleeping,” the housekeeper said.
“She’s not up yet? It’s almost noon. You should wake her up soon and ask her to have some food even if she wants to go back to bed after,” Gu Yusheng said.
“Yes, sir,” the housekeeper said.
There was no response from Gu Yusheng on the line for about a minute. The housekeeper asked, “Mr. Gu?”
“Yes,” Gu Yusheng responded and then took another pause for a while before he continued, “Did you give her the box?”
“Yes, I gave it to her last night,” the housekeeper said.
“What was her reaction after seeing it?” Gu Yusheng asked.
“Miss didn’t open it. She took it upstairs,” the housekeeper said.
“Okay.” Gu Yusheng sounded a little disappointed. He sounded like he had been about to say something, but didn’t in the end, then he sneezed, hard. Qin Zhi’ai heard him sniffing, but she couldn’t hear it clearly. After a while, she heard him saying, “I’m going to hang up if there’s nothing important.”
