Chapter 7 Let's Get Back Together

Xu Weiyan was taken aback for a moment, not expecting it to come to her so soon. She sat up a little straighter, waiting for the dare they would assign to her.

She was thin-skinned and hoped that she would not be teased like the previous person.

"Well, Ji Qiu knows Weiyan, doesn't he? Why don't we let Ji Qiu to come up with an idea?" A few boys couldn't make things difficult for a girl, so they asked Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu smiled and looked at Xu Weiyan, "Is that okay with you, Weiyan."

Xu Weiyan nodded slightly.

"Well, you can call your first love and tell him... that you want to be together with him again."

"Put it on speaker."

As soon as these words were spoken, the others at the table got excited all of a sudden, and some of them even applauded.

"Oh my god, as expected of Ji Qiu."

"A beautiful woman's first love must also be extraordinary. Will his voice also be magnetic."

"It's so exciting!"

When Xu Weiyan met the innocent gaze of Ji Qiu, her face instantly turned cold.

Others might not know what happened between her and Gu Yu'an, but Ji Qiu definitely did.

He did it on purpose.

Seeing that Xu Weiyan didn't move, Song Bai, who liked to join in the fun, couldn't help poking her and winking at her.

Xu Weiyan understood that if Ji Qiu didn't get what he wanted today, he wouldn't give up.

She quickly took out her phone from her bag, found the number that Gu Yu'an had sent her last time, and dialed it without hesitation.

"Beep, beep, beep..." A sound came from the phone, but no one answered.

The others at the table looked a little disappointed. Xu Weiyan hoped that he would not answer the phone.

After nearly ten seconds, the call was finally connected.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the phone screen and Xu Weiyan.

"Hello?" A magnetic voice sounded. Some girls couldn't help but feel excited.

Xu Weiyan had no choice but to say, "Let's be together again."

Her voice was very soft, and there was also an imperceptible tremor. It was just a game, but no one was more nervous than her.

Xu Weiyan was looking forward to him hanging up the phone.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. Just as Xu Weiyan was about to find an excuse to hang up the phone...

"Okay," the person on the other end said.

Xu Weiyan felt her heart skip a beat, but she managed to suppress it.

The other people present seemed to have heard some earth-shattering gossip. They couldn't help screaming and getting excited.

Xu Weiyan was the only one who didn't take any action.

When Gu Yu'an heard the commotion, he seemed to have understood something, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he asked, "Where are you?"

Xu Weiyan said slowly, "I..."

"Handsome, are you coming to pick up your girlfriend? We're having dinner at the Xinyue Hotel. Come on!" Song Bai said. After that, he winked at Xu Weiyan as if to say, "Look, I'm so awesome."

"Wait for me, Xu Weiyan."

Xu Weiyan couldn't laugh anymore. She looked at the screen helplessly.

"Weiyan, introduce your boyfriend to us later."

"This is too exciting. I have no regrets in my life."

"Speaking of which, Weiyan has to thank Ji Qiu, the matchmaker."

Ji Qiu had a stiff expression as he listened to their discussion.

Xu Weiyan came to her senses, picked up her phone and bag, and stood up. "Everyone, take your time. I'm sorry that I'll go first."

She had wanted to leave a long time ago, and there was no need for her to stay any longer. If Gu Yu'an really came here as they said, there would be no end to it. Moreover, the situation between her and Gu Yu'an was not as easy as they thought.

The others' enthusiasm to the gossip suddenly dampened. "You're leaving just like that?"

"She's in a hurry to see her first love. Let's be considerate."

Xu Weiyan said goodbye to everyone and hurried out.

As soon as she walked out of the door, she took out her phone and called Gu Yu'an.

"Beep, beep, beep..." The sound kept ringing until the mechanical girl's voice came. This time, no one answered.

Xu Weiyan was a little anxious, so she could only wait on the spot, afraid that Gu Yu'an would come but miss her

Outside the hotel, there were pedestrians and cars passing by. Xu Weiyan was unusually anxious. She felt like she was in summer, which was very uncomfortable.

After a long while, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing a cold and calm face. "Get in the car."

Gu Yu'an didn't give her a chance to speak.

It was quiet in the car. Xu Weiyan rubbed her seat belt, looking a little conflicted.

"Dr... Dr. Gu, I called you today because we were playing truth or dare."

"I'm sorry to trouble you to come here."

Gu Yu'an turned to look at her without saying a word.

Xu Weiyan thought he was angry and said, "I called you again, but you didn't answer."

"I'm sorry." Her voice was getting softer and softer, and her body was very far away. She was almost leaning against the car door, which showed that she had no sense of security.

"I did it on purpose."

"What?" Xu Weiyan almost thought she had misheard.

Gu Yu'an patiently repeated, "I didn't answer it on purpose, because I knew what you were going to say."

It was just a misunderstanding. If she told him not to go, how could he give her this opportunity?

When the car suddenly stopped, Xu Weiyan found that the car had arrived at her old-fashioned rental apartment.

How did he know that she lived here? Xu Weiyan turned to look at him in surprise.

Gu Yu'an turned off the car's engine, and the lights that were on because of the parking also went out. The car was in complete darkness.

"If I hadn't happened to know this, Xu Weiyan, would you never tell me?"

Xu Weiyan was silent. The dark environment gave her a good opportunity to hide, just like what had happened for days and nights.

"I won't know that your mother is sick. I won't know that you have suffered so much. I won't even know that you're having a hard time."

The narrow space trapped both of them inside, and no one could escape.

"I've always thought that you were doing very well. However, now I know that this is merely a method for you to leave me."

Gu Yu'an leaned over and got a little closer to her.

Xu Weiyan was stunned when she met his deep gaze.

"You've really underestimated me, Xu Weiyan."

You belittled our love. You don't know how much I love you.

"I love you very much. No matter how many more days and nights I have, I will not change my love for you."

Xu Weiyan lowered her eyes. A single tear slipped down her cheek and suddenly disappeared.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yu'an felt distressed and angry. He silently unfastened the seat belt for Xu Weiyan.

Then, he took Xu Weiyan into his arms as if she were a child.

Through the silk fabric, they kept getting closer and closer, and finally, they seemed to be integrated into one. Xu Weiyan leaned on his shoulder. The familiar yet strange feeling made her no longer control herself, and her body trembled slightly.

The fabric around Gu Yu'an's shoulder was quickly wet. He patiently stroked her back over and over again. In the silent car, there was only the sound of Xu Weiyan crying, which gradually died down.

The bright light shone through the gauze window. The room was bright and clean, and the night seemed to no longer exist.

The person on the bed turned over and over again before opening her eyes. Xu Weiyan felt her eyes were very dry as if they had no more tears.

She got up from the bed and went to the bathroom mirror, only to find that her eyes were swollen, and her eyelids were almost single eyelids. She blinked her eyes, and the sour feeling reminded her of the painful memory of last night.

She hadn't cried so freely for a long time. If she cried like that at night, it was inevitable that her eyes would become like this in the morning.

In order to make it less obvious, Xu Weiyan put on light makeup, especially the eye makeup, and deliberately used some techniques to reduce the swelling of her eyes.

With a cello and a white canvas backpack on her back, Xu Weiyan walked down the stairs quickly. Her attention was all on her feet, and she almost didn't pay attention to the front.

She almost bumped into someone. When she looked up, she was stunned.

Gu Yu'an was dressed in casual clothes. It was rare for him to look so relaxed.

"What do you want to eat for breakfast?" he asked calmly.

After last night, there seemed to be a subtle feeling spreading between them, which was very strange.

Of course, this was just what Xu Weiyan felt.

"I don't have breakfast," Xu Weiyan said honestly. She went to bed late at night and saved time in the morning to rush to the subway, so she didn't eat breakfast. As time went by, it became a habit.

"No good," Gu Yu'an said, as if Xu Weiyan had just asked for his permission.

Xu Weiyan was forced to eat a bowl of wonton with him at a restaurant near the intersection, and then Gu Yu'an drove Xu Weiyan to the theater. There was no chance for Weiyan to refuse.

Xu Weiyan felt a little helpless. This feeling was too familiar to her.

Seeing the car parked at the entrance of the theater, Xu Weiyan unbuckled her seat belt and was ready to get out of the car.

"Thank you, Doctor Gu. You don't have to pick me up next time. It'll take up too much of your time," her tone was still distant and polite.

Gu Yu'an said lightly, "As a doctor, this is indeed a waste of my time. But as a boyfriend, it's just a right thing to do."

Xu Weiyan widened her eyes slightly and said, "Didn't I explain it to you yesterday? That's a trick on the table."

"Oh, I'm an old-fashioned person. I take it seriously." Gu Yu'an seemed to be teasing her, observing the changes in her expression with great interest.

Seeing the little girl's face gradually tense up, Gu Yu'an finally stopped teasing her.

"I lied to you just now, Xu Weiyan, but now I'm serious."

"If you still can't trust me completely, then I'll chase after you once again. Let's take it slow this time," he stared at Xu Weiyan for a while and then said, "Let's go to work."

Xu Weiyan came back to her senses. In fact, she really wanted to explain that it was not that she didn't believe him, but that she didn't trust herself.

But in the end, she did not say anything and got out of the car silently.

Gu Yu'an stared at her back for a while. He knew what Xu Weiyan was afraid of, but he didn't know how to dispel her fear. He could only follow his heart and do it step by step.

When Xu Weiyan entered the building, everyone was busy with their own work. The joy of yesterday seemed to not exist. Xu Weiyan soon joined the daily training and practiced basic skills to prepare for her next performance.

"Hi, Weiyan," Song Bai appeared out of nowhere.

Xu Weiyan moved her sore hands and looked at her in confusion.

"Put on makeup? I haven't seen you put on makeup when you come to work. You've changed since you had a boyfriend."

Xu Weiyan didn't explain. She just smiled faintly as an answer.

Xu Weiyan usually didn't like to gossip, nor did she want to participate in gossip and become a gossip figure. According to her understanding of Song Bai, if she said something at this moment, Song Bai would definitely spread it.

This girl was not bad-hearted, but she was not likable in this respect.

The atmosphere here was relatively relaxed. Except for the time when everyone had to discuss music and songs, most of the time, they could enjoy themselves. Song Bai simply sat next to Xu Weiyan, playing her trumpet or saying a few words from time to time. Although Xu Weiyan did not speak much, Song Bai also enjoyed it.
