The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 259: Gu Yuan Is Willing to Sink With Him 2
The farmhouse was renovated from mud walls, covered with a layer of cement outside, topped with glazed tiles, but the interior structure was mostly bamboo and wood. The walls were okay, but the doors weren’t very soundproof.
From the room where the couple was staying came some not-so-harmonious sounds. Gu Yuan paused on the stairs, thinking she had misheard. She focused and listened carefully, and then she heard even clearer breathing.
Gu Yuan: "..."
Most likely they thought this place was a hotel.
But it was a matter of their affection, and Gu Yuan definitely wouldn’t interrupt. She quietly lightened her steps, ready to quietly return to her own room.
She was light-footed, but the sounds coming from that room became increasingly clear. They were probably caught up in the moment, unable to control the volume...
Gu Yuan felt awkward, slowly walking past.
Downstairs.
As Yao Tao was about to return to her room, that person returned. This time he wasn’t wearing a mask. There was no moon tonight, and the view was blurry. Yao Tao looked carefully several times before finally seeing his face.
At the moment she saw his face, Yao Tao didn’t know what words to use to describe her feelings.
Well, she admitted she was at a loss for words.
In her whole life, she’d never seen a man who looked so handsome.
She felt slapped in the face for her previous words.
The face under the mask had no buck teeth, no big nose. The lady boss was already an exceptionally beautiful woman, but if this man stood beside her, it would be an indescribable perfect match.
Speaking of the two tactless young girls this afternoon trying to set people up with silly matches.
Yao Tao was really angry.
But if they were trying to set him up with the lady boss, Yao Tao certainly wouldn’t be upset. Simply marvelous, his appearance was clearly God’s meticulously crafted favorite child!!!
Oh no, God’s illegitimate child.
"Where have you been just now?" Yao Tao walked over and asked.
He looked over in this direction, his cool voice cutting through the night: "Craving for a cigarette, went out for a smoke."
By then, Yao Tao was already approaching and couldn’t even smell the smoke, but didn’t press further, after all, it was his business. She just said, "Just now while you were away, the noodles in the pot were about to burn. Our lady boss took them out for you, you better go eat them."
He replied, "Alright." Then looking over, he added, "Thank her for me."
"Okay, but the lady boss probably won’t mind your thanks, she just took the noodles out, you should eat and rest early."
The cold wind was blowing at night; in October, the weather in the countryside was damp and cold. Yao Tao wrapped her coat around herself, yawned after speaking, and turned back to her room.
She lived downstairs, so she didn’t need to climb upstairs.
At this moment, everything was silent.
The kitchen was not big, it could be seen at a glance, and on the table was a bowl of steaming noodles, with lots of cilantro at the bottom, and the clear soup looked quite nice too.
Chi Yu picked up his chopsticks and slowly began to eat.
As his hand slowly lifted, the gold bell on his wrist chimed crisply. It was past midnight when he finished eating. He stood up, washed the bowl and chopsticks, placed them back in the cupboard, and left the kitchen.
Everyone else was asleep; the lights were still on; it was getting colder as the night went on.
He sat alone for a while, the dim light masking his emotions, but those emotions were evidently unstable; he seemed to be restraining something...
The night breeze blew gently, dissipating his urgent longing. He buried his face in his hands.
He didn’t know how long he could stay this time...
As New Year’s Day approached, the weather worsened, and it started to rain late at night. The rain was drizzling, soaking the ground of the courtyard, and water dripped down from the glazed tiles, while the cold air hit face.
He stood for a while longer before turning upstairs.
When he reached the place where Gu Yuan had paused, he also heard the weird sounds coming from the room.
He paused, and the silence around magnified the sounds coming from the room.
He had already walked past, but then stepped back, standing not far from the door, with a fist to his lips: "Cough, cough!"
The cough, neither light nor heavy, was exceptionally clear.
Sure enough, the sounds in the room immediately disappeared.
No need for a man to make things difficult for another man; the man inside the room was probably psychologically scarred.
After the sounds quieted down, Chi Yu returned to his room.
...
Gu Yuan thought it was probably because she had eavesdropped, and that night she had a dream.
In the dream, it was Chi Yu.
But she was happy, as she finally dreamt of him.
Ever since Chi Yu left, she had not dreamt of him for a long time. In this dream, she saw Chi Yu, covered in wounds, crawling toward her, slowly yet determinedly, his mouth opening and closing, calling out repeatedly: "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan..."
