Chapter 81: Night Talk
Neither of them was prepared for a kiss that would last forever; they were simply thrilled by the breathless excitement.
What are you doing?
Gu Qing was startled and touched her lips, which were stained with blood. She stared blankly at the other person.
Jing Tian's face was already flushed with embarrassment, and her lips were even redder than before, like a rose.
"You're one to talk! You bit me so hard I bled, you can't just bite me directly."
"I... this isn't my first time."
"You talk like you know it all by heart."
Gu Qing wiped her lips, looked at Jing Tian again, and they both laughed.
In this situation, no further words are needed; both of them can see themselves reflected in each other's eyes.
"Brother, when did you start having ulterior motives towards me?"
Love arises without knowing its origin, and deepens with each passing moment.
"Hehe, I knew it, and you're not honest either, you're flirting with me."
Jing Tian looked up at Gu Qing, her eyes filled with love that she could no longer hide.
Good heavens, she always thought the other person was a scoundrel who liked to take advantage of her, but she never made their relationship clear.
If she hadn't known that the other party was only taking advantage of her, she would have turned on them.
"Make it clear, I only used my hands, not my feet. And just now, I only used my mouth."
Having already confessed her feelings, Gu Qing no longer wanted to hide them.
It's not embarrassing to humble yourself and give in to the girl you like.
Jing Tian was delighted, holding Gu Qing's hand, her face beaming with joy.
She didn't know when she fell in love with him. Perhaps it was his aloofness when they first met, or his genius-like mind, his meticulousness when creating, his quiet listening to her troubles, and his immediate return when he heard she was sick...
Unconsciously, my heart seems to be filled with the image of the other person.
As the other party said, love arises without warning and deepens with time.
Thinking this, she boldly stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Gu Qing's neck.
What puzzled her was that Gu Qing reached out and pressed his hand against her lips, preventing her from going any further.
"I'm still outside, but I'll let you kiss me as much as you want when we get back."
Meeting Jing Tian's bewildered yet curious gaze, Gu Qing patiently explained.
This is really inappropriate. The two of them are already considered celebrities, and if someone takes a picture of them, it will be quite a spectacle.
Although he didn't mind, he still had to consider Jing Tian's feelings.
"Who, who's trying to kiss you!"
Jing Tian's face flushed even more, and she ran off without looking back, though her departing figure seemed slightly jubilant.
How embarrassing, how shameful, but also so happy!
Gu Qing smiled, her eyes full of doting as she looked at the departing figure. She couldn't help but touch the corner of her mouth, the blood between her lips and teeth seemingly a reminder that she hadn't just been dreaming.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't hold back and surrendered to the little girl first. So what if he surrendered? It's not like it's anything shameful.
Who secretly stole my heart?
"Cannot distinguish between night and day."
I'm craving mini rice cakes.
Gu Qing hummed a little tune and followed the cheering figure.
The two of them had a great time, so it couldn't just end like this; they had to leave something behind.
Quickly catching up with Jing Tian, Gu Qing pulled her along and continued taking photos of her, but this time, she wasn't the only one in the frame.
"Look at the camera, give me a cheese."
"Okay, very good. If you ask me, you two are a perfect match, you should be a couple."
I randomly asked an elderly man to take a picture of the two of us, and he happily agreed.
"Sir, your skills are exceptional! The photos are beautiful."
Gu Qing didn't respond directly, but instead praised the old man's skills, saying that it would take several years of practice to achieve such an effect.
He underestimated the world; all sorts of people can be found in the capital.
"That's right, not to criticize you, young man, but back in the day I..."
The old man burst into laughter upon hearing the flattery, and his gaze towards the two men became much kinder.
While the other person was talking eloquently, Gu Qing glanced at Jing Tian and raised an eyebrow.
Jing Tian laughed inwardly, but then said nothing and let the other person take her hand and sneak away.
When the two arrived at a secluded place, they finally let go and burst into laughter.
"Brother, why did you run off without saying a word?"
"We can't let this wonderful time go to waste with an old man. The best scenery is right in front of us, so we should cherish it."
Gu Qing's unspoken meaning was that he wanted to stay with Jing Tian.
These sweet words naturally made Jing Tian overjoyed, leaving her at a loss for words.
Leaning against the wall, Jing Tian twirled her hair with her fingers.
"Sweetie, you smell so good."
Upon seeing Jing Tian's appearance, Gu Qing first glanced around before finally approaching her, staring intently at her with a wicked grin.
Only after he finished speaking did he pause for a moment, suddenly realizing what he had said.
No, this setting, these strange lines, something feels off.
"Brother, let's go first, back to the hotel, uh, I mean, home first."
Jing Tian's face flushed, and she felt even more strange upon hearing these words. She immediately looked up at him with watery eyes.
"It's getting late, let me take you home first."
Gu Qing understood what the other person was thinking. After the secret was out, he had become somewhat unrestrained. He calmed himself down and took Jing Tian back with him.
Being around this person, his mindset and behavior are more like those of a young upstart. Sooner or later, all the cultivation he has accumulated over twenty years will be ruined by this person.
On the way back, Gu Qing drove steadily and stopped teasing the other person.
But the other party didn't think that way.
Jing Tian sat in the passenger seat, also turned to the side, staring at him with her big eyes and a strange smile on her face.
Perhaps it was because of the formal occasion that she felt a lot safer; Gu Qing's gaze had startled her earlier.
"Brother, could you say that again? I didn't hear you clearly before."
Jing Tian's hands hung down in front of her chest, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Gu Qing's profile.
She hadn't had a chance to properly perform when she was suddenly attacked.
"Sweetie, be my girlfriend."
"Hmm, it depends on my mood."
Jing Tian said with a mischievous smile, "My mother once told me that you shouldn't let a man have you too quickly, otherwise he won't know how to cherish you."
Gu Qing smiled without saying a word; a little girl's reserve always pleased men.
While waiting at the traffic light, Gu Qing raised his hand and touched Jing Tian's chin, then pressed his lips to hers.
To deal with someone who's stubborn, you have to pry their mouth open.
Fortunately, Gu Qing was prepared. When the light turned green, he let go of the gas pedal and drove off.
"I'm not going to be friends with you anymore. All you do is bully me."
Jing Tian no longer possessed the boldness and heroism she had the first time, and she never even considered resisting.
She just felt like she was completely under his control. Before they were officially a couple, he would hold her hand all the time. Now that they were, he would kiss her at the drop of a hat, leaving her no way to resist.
"Go back and get some rest. 'Source Code' will be up and running soon, so you'd better do your best."
"By the way, are you having any problems with your final exams at school? Do you need my help? You've been getting so many acting offers since the start of the semester, you must be the most popular student in this year's Beijing Film Academy. I bet Professor Li is grinning from ear to ear."
Gu Qing muttered to himself. He had previously intervened as a friend, but his position was ultimately illegitimate. Now, however, he had a legitimate reason to get involved.
"It's not as outrageous as you say. Teacher Li is still young, okay?"
Jing Tian covered her mouth and chuckled, but couldn't help rolling her eyes at Gu Qing.
After some joking around, the ambiguous atmosphere inside the car relaxed considerably.
After safely escorting the other person to the entrance of the residential area, Gu Qing didn't tease them any further. Too much had happened today; she wanted the other person to prepare themselves and calm down.
Just looking at Lu Zheng at the door, Gu Qing felt a sudden jolt in her heart.
Before, we were just brothers, so I could be quite self-righteous. But now that I've even eaten the rice cake, it's normal to feel a little guilty.
Little did he know that the other party had always treated him like a scoundrel.
"Uncle Lu, I've already delivered the person, so I won't stay for dinner."
After dropping Jing Tian off at home, Gu Qing waved goodbye and made a hasty retreat.
Given Jing Tian's clingy nature, if he really stayed here for dinner, he would definitely be exposed. Although he wasn't afraid, it wouldn't be right for him to do that.
"Alright, stop looking, they've all gone far away."
Looking at his niece, who stood there like a statue waiting for her husband, Lu Zheng felt inexplicably irritated.
He went out to discuss business during the day, while these two went out to have fun.
"Yes, Uncle Lu, you've worked hard."
Jing Tian realized what was happening and quickly grabbed Lu Zheng's arm, inviting him into the house.
She hadn't decided yet whether to tell Lu Zheng about Gu Qing's confession to her, but after thinking about it, she decided not to, otherwise she would have to give him another lecture.
Lu Zheng: Am I the kind of stubborn person?
Although he knew Jing Tian was trying to please him, Lu Zheng was still pleased. Judging from his niece's expression, he guessed that the relationship between the two had taken a step further.
Jing Tian was never one to keep things to herself, and even though this person had only been gone a short while, the longing in her eyes was almost palpable!
However, this did relieve him. It was bound to happen sooner or later, and it would be beneficial for both of them if Gu Qing admitted it sooner.
He was afraid that if they continued to get to know each other, they would actually become brothers, and then it would be really hard to end things.
"Sweetie, Gu Qing, he..."
"Uncle Lu, I know what I'm doing."
After helping Lu Zheng to sit on the sofa in the living room, Jing Tian personally poured him a cup of tea.
"Oh well, if you like it, then I'll have that brat come and pour me tea next time."
Seeing his niece like this, he felt as if his beloved little cabbage, whom he had raised for many years, had been stolen away. What was even more infuriating was that she was clearly the Big Bad Wolf, but she was dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood.
"Thank you, Uncle Lu! You're so kind!"
Jing Tian was overjoyed. As long as Lu Zheng didn't object, that was fine. As for what would happen next, they would see.
Lu Zheng took a sip of tea and shook his head inwardly. However, now that the child was older, it was not appropriate for them, as elders, to be too strict. They would just keep an eye on him and make sure he didn't suffer any major losses.
But the thought of having to go there to discuss this matter made Lu Zheng feel terrible.
Why should he bear the responsibility for what these two people did?
No, he didn't care and just pretended not to see it.
Meanwhile, Gu Qing returned to her rented room, took a shower, and before she could even dry herself off, her phone rang.
I put down the towel and glanced at it; sure enough, it was Jing Tian calling.
Luckily, the two of them had eaten out before coming back, otherwise they wouldn't have had time to cook.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
I'm thinking of you.
"Hehe, I don't believe it."
Jing Tian lay on the bed, her right index finger twirling her hair in circles, her eyes fixed on the phone on the pillow in front of her, her delicate white feet swinging back and forth in the air.
When she heard Gu Qing's voice on the phone, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, and her jade-like feet changed from swaying left and right to swaying up and down.
"Sweet."
"Um."
"Sweetie?"
"Um!"
"What are you doing? You called someone's name but didn't say anything."
Jing Tian was annoyed. The way she used to address him now sounded very ambiguous.
By the way, she and Gu Qing are already a couple, boyfriend and girlfriend.
"I just want to call out more often, since things are different now than before."
Gu Qing was also lying in bed at this moment. Hearing Jing Tian's clear and shy voice coming from the other end of the phone, he felt exceptionally happy.
"It's not much different. I can only make you call my name ten... a hundred times a day!"
"A hundred times? What if I can't finish calling it in one day?"
"No, you have to finish calling it, otherwise it'll be a whole new hundred times tomorrow!"
On the other end of the phone came Jing Tian's silvery laughter, and Gu Qing realized that the most beautiful sound in the world was the sound of a young girl's feelings.
"Sweetie, should we reveal our relationship to anyone?"
"What do you think? I'll listen to you."
When it came to serious matters, Jing Tian would bury herself in the blanket like a startled rabbit, only her big eyes showing.
Even though no one was watching, she still crawled into bed, as if that would put her at ease.
"I think it's best not to make your relationship public right now, since your fame is rising."
Although Gu Qing already had the answer in her heart, she still wanted to tease the other person a little.
"Whatever you want, I don't care about these things."
Even so, Jing Tian was still somewhat disappointed.
She didn't care about career advancement at all; if Gu Qing was willing to go public, she would follow suit.
"Okay, I'm just kidding. How about we post our blogs together tonight?"
Hearing Jing Tian's slightly disappointed voice, Gu Qing didn't dare to tease her anymore. If she really dropped the little pearl, it would be difficult to coax her back.
"No, Qing-ge, I've thought about it and I'd like to wait a bit longer, until the movie finishes its run and it's released on the day of its theatrical release, how about that?"
Jing Tian said somewhat embarrassedly that although she really wanted the two of them to go public now, it was obviously not a good thing for Gu Qing.
The casting for "Source Code" has already drawn a lot of criticism, and now that filming is about to begin, it's best to avoid any further complications.
"Are you serious? Why wait a while?"
Gu Qing was surprised. He had just looked lost and dejected, but now he had suddenly changed his mind?
"Hehe, I'm already satisfied with your intention. I'm going to prove myself through my own abilities!"
"Just you wait and see, Qing-ge! This time, I'll make sure those who doubted me are convinced!"
"Yes, Sweetie is definitely the best."
Gu Qing guessed the reason in his heart, and felt even more indebted to the girl.
"Brother, tell me a story, otherwise I can't sleep."
"Hey, you're such a grown-up, do you still want to listen to fairy tales?"
"Just tell me."
Helpless, Gu Qing found a book and began to tell the story to the other party with great emotion.
He's a director, and his language skills are also quite good. When he tells a story, he's just as good as a professional voice actor.
But he fell asleep while he was talking.
On the other side, Jing Tian was slightly taken aback when she heard the soft snoring, and then couldn't help but laugh.
Moonlight streamed through the window and onto the bed. Jing Tian stared intently at her phone, as if it were Gu Qing herself.
Finally, she too drifted off to sleep, accompanied by snoring.
