Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?

After an emotional outburst, they both fell silent.

Gu Shiting’s irrationality gradually faded, leaving a sense of fear in his heart.

Would she still be willing to see him?

The last time, she said he was different. But now?

Would she still see him as someone important and different?

He raised his eyes to look at Sheng Tang.

Sheng Tang felt a sense of desolation in her heart.

Six years – such a long time. Long enough that when she thought of her grandmother, she no longer felt pain, just a fleeting sense of being scraped by a finger.

She had also lost her former persistence.

At that time, she was very clear that she and Gu Shiting were finished.

But today, six years later, she suddenly felt uncertain.

She yearned to have him!

When he kissed her, she felt something. It was strange indeed. Six years ago, when he kissed her, she felt particularly calm, unlike now.

She didn’t know if it was age that changed things, or if deep-seated emotions, like unripe fruits, finally matured over the course of six years.

She didn’t blame Gu Shiting.

"...At that time, my situation was very bad," Sheng Tang explained to Gu Shiting, "I knew you wanted to help me, but you were struggling yourself."

Gu Jiahui appeared and told me he needed me. He wanted to win over Yang Mingming and needed some assistance. So, I signed a contract with him."

Gu Shiting’s eyes showed pain.

Sheng Tang bit her lip, "In hindsight, this decision seems quite correct. He helped me get through a difficult period, and I am very grateful to him."

Last time, when you stabbed him, it made things very difficult for me. You must know, he is the one who has sacrificed for me."

Gu Shiting listened silently.

After a long while, he asked her, "When does it expire?"

"An eight-year contract, two years have passed," Sheng Tang said.

"Can it be terminated?"

"It can, but I don’t want to."

"Why not?" Gu Shiting raised his voice slightly.

Sheng Tang: "This is not child’s play, it’s a collaboration. I have already received the benefits of the collaboration; he has not. Until he marries Yang Mingming, it is impossible for me to voluntarily terminate the contract."

Since it’s a collaboration, both parties must be sincere. Changing one’s mind halfway would be immoral."

Gu Shiting sighed deeply.

An outsider could see how absurd this situation was. Sheng Tang and Gu Jiahui themselves couldn’t?

However, Gu Shiting did not force her anymore.

It was her right.

Whatever she did was justified, and Gu Shiting had no ground to refute.

"Then, I’ll wait for you," Gu Shiting said, "Can we meet privately? Once you feel you have repaid him."

Sheng Tang was silent.

"Is it not possible?" His gaze was intense, holding her.

Sheng Tang: "I don’t want to waste your time."

Gu Shiting gave a bitter smile. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Su Luo seems to like you, and you two are well-matched..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Shiting stood up and lifted her chin.

He bent deeply and sealed her lips with his.

Su Luo was never within Gu Shiting’s consideration.

He didn’t need to find anyone.

Apart from Sheng Tang, Gu Shiting liked no one else, nor did he seek other love.

He could wait for her.

Just like that poem, waiting for you under the depths of the earth.

This time, Sheng Tang did not push him away; instead, she embraced him.

The room was momentarily silent.

Only the heartbeat was so fast.

Gu Shiting finally received her response.

She agreed to his waiting.

She no longer insisted, afraid of delaying him. She knew that after meeting her, Gu Shiting had been delayed; his heart was always tied to her.

Later, Sheng Tang told him, "If I have time, I will see you. But, you cannot kiss me, nor can you hug me. We will meet as ordinary friends."
