Upon hearing this, Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting seemed to be put on pause, their eyes wide open, exchanging glances and winks.
Wen Feiran felt a headache coming on. "I can see. Just say what you have to say."
"Nothing, Feiran, are you with Brother Gu?" Zou Yuxing hesitated before speaking.
Wen Feiran nodded. "I'm staying at Teacher Gu's house."
He was about to explain about the paparazzi when Zou Yuxing interrupted him, "No need for excuses, we're all friends, I understand."
Wen Feiran almost laughed out of anger, "What do you know?"
Zou Yuxing blinked repeatedly, his smile lewd.
Wen Feiran guessed that he had misunderstood, and was about to explain when Su Shangting slapped Zou Yuxing on the head.
To his surprise, Zou Yuxing didn't get angry this time.
"Look at the time! How can we possibly bother them?!" Su Shangting said.
Zou Yuxing gave a strange, ambiguous laugh, greeted Wen Feiran, and quickly hung up the phone.
A big question mark appeared above Wen Feiran's head. She turned to Gu Suian and asked with clear eyes, "Is there a problem with this time?"
Gu Suian's eyes were dark, but Wen Feiran hadn't realized it yet. She didn't pressure him to speed things up, but simply smiled and said, "The fireworks are about to start."
Wen Feiran's attention was diverted, and she excitedly jumped off the sofa and quickly walked to the window.
Afraid that he would catch a cold, Gu Suian grabbed a pair of slippers and followed him, bending down to place them at his feet.
Wen Feiran suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Gu Suian, but before he could speak, brilliant fireworks lit up the night sky.
Their eyes met, and without knowing who made the first move, they kissed amidst the fireworks.
Chapter 74 The Past
Wen Feiran was dazed and pressed down on the sofa, her brain completely shut down, immersed in this indescribable feeling.
Having no relevant experience and no idea how to breathe, he struggled to pat Gu Suian's shoulder. Their lips parted, and they switched positions. Wen Feiran lay on top of Gu Suian, his chest heaving violently. He regained air, and his mind cleared up a bit as he thought of the surprise he had prepared beforehand.
When Gu Suian carried him to the bed and got up to leave, he grabbed Gu Suian's sleeve.
His fingers were weak and trembling uncontrollably, but he didn't hesitate at all as he took out a ring engraved with the initials of their names from his pocket.
Wen Feiran felt like he was about to evaporate from the heat, and he must look terrible. He was incredibly grateful to the darkness for giving him courage; normally, he probably wouldn't have dared to look Gu Suian in the eye.
He licked his dry lips, barely managing to find his voice, "Teacher Gu, although we've been married for three years, I have no memory of what happened before. I don't know if the details were romantic or beautiful, so I want to do it all over again..."
"Teacher Gu, would you like to be with me? We're not only the closest couple in the legal sense, but it also means we'll be together every single moment from now on. 'Growing old together' might sound cliché, but it's my deepest wish."
Wen Feiran took a deep breath, and her voice stopped trembling.
He admitted that his infatuation with Gu Suian was extreme; seeing the other made him happy, and he enjoyed physical contact. Even a light touch from Gu Suian would make him tremble uncontrollably... These feelings could all be fueled and manipulated by hormones. Compared to Gu Suian, he was far less experienced, younger, and less mature, unable to control his own thoughts and desires. And a person's thoughts are always unpredictable; in the future, vows of eternal love might crumble, sweet words might turn into jokes, and sweetness could become deadly poison.
But he was serious and had considered it for a long time; it wasn't a promise made on a whim.
He had very little, but he was willing to give everything to Gu Suian, including his future.
Although the ring was worn on Gu Suian's finger, it held even greater significance for him, as his life trajectory would be completely altered by another person.
Wen Feiran couldn't see Gu Suian's expression, but he could feel Gu Suian's gaze fixed on him, focused and serious, carrying a weight that made him tremble uncontrollably.
Wen Feiran did not back down. He very slowly lifted Gu Suian's hand and put the ring on his ring finger. He used almost no force, Gu Suian could easily get rid of him at any time, but Gu Suian did nothing and let the ring be on his finger.
After a few seconds of silence, Wen Feiran slipped her fingers between Gu Suian's, interlocking their fingers, and looked up at Gu Suian.
Even though he was kneeling on the bed, and compared to Gu Suian, he seemed more like a weak little animal, his tone not domineering or forceful, he still said, word by word, "Now you are mine."
Gu Suian bent down, his muscles bulging slightly in the darkness, their lines straight and stiff. His well-defined knuckles encircled Wen Feiran's waist. "Forever."
Wen Feiran has always had excellent sleep quality, almost never dreaming. This is the first time he has realized with such clarity that he is dreaming.
The feeling was strange; his consciousness seemed to have completely detached, yet he could still think independently. It was less like dreaming and more like looking at a scroll painting.
The scene before him kept changing, and he saw a figure so familiar it was like looking in a mirror.
When the man turned around, he did see his own face, but the feeling was different.
Although "he" had his eyes open, there was no light in them. He was like a puppet on strings. Although he looked exactly the same, Wen Feiran could clearly tell that this person was not him.
The scene changed again, Wen Feiran unexpectedly saw some familiar faces.
He has already broken free of the unscrupulous agency, and Li Tao and Liu Fengyuan have received their due punishment and will never appear before him again. Could it be that he still harbors resentment deep down, causing him to dream of such scenes, or is it that everything actually happened?
