She couldn’t forget the mystery and excitement from Jiayan the evening he had given her a gift, and the excitement that couldn’t be hidden in his eyes after she had put on the necklace and expressed her love of it.
If he knows that the necklace he gave me was lost after I wore it for a few hours, he’ll be disappointed…
The more Qin Zhi’ai thought, the blurrier her vision became. The bottom of the fountain was full of dirt. Trying to search for the necklace in it many times, she found bottle caps, chopsticks, plastic bags… all kinds of rubbish, but no necklace.
…
Frozen there like a sculpture, Gu Yusheng lowered his head and stared at his hand, which he had just used to tear off Qin Zhi’ai’s necklace.
The group of people beside him seemed to have been shocked by his anger, as none of them gave a response.
After a long time, Lu Bancheng kicked his chair behind him and walked over to him. “Brother Sheng.”
With a shudder, Gu Yusheng woke up from such a state. First, he turned his head and glanced at the Lu Bancheng, then slowly moved his sight to the fountain. Stooping over, he looked for Qin Zhi’ai inch by inch.
After he had thrown away her necklace, she kept quiet with her head down for a long time, then raised her head to look at him. Suddenly, the expression in her eyes came to his mind.
Was there any resentment hiding in them?
Gu Yusheng suddenly became a little scared, and even let slight panic show in his eyes. He clearly realized the fear in his heart.
Compared to seeing her with another man, he was more afraid of seeing her resent him…
He moved his eyes in a panic. Not waiting for Lu Bancheng in front of him to speak again, he suddenly strode toward the fountain.
Without taking off his shoes, he jumped into the water, reached out to grab her arm, and pulled her up.
“Don’t touch me!” She reached out without thinking and pushed him on the chest.
With her hand full of mud, she turned his white s.h.i.+rt into a brown one.
Probably because she was very angry and filled with strength, and the dirt in the fountain was very slippery, Gu Yusheng slipped backwards two steps. She quickly bent down and continued to look for the necklace.
The water in the fountain wasn’t deep, only to her knees. However, the clothes on the lower part of her body had all been soaked. Since it was a little cold at night in early autumn, sooner or later, she would catch cold if she continued searching…
Gu Yusheng frowned, reached out directly, circled her waist with his arms, and took her out of the fountain.
When he had just placed her on dry ground, she immediately turned around and ran toward the water. Seeing that, he quickly grabbed her wrist.
“Let me go! Let me go!” She struggled furiously, but she couldn’t compare to him in strength. Controlled by him effortlessly, she still thought about that necklace. As she failed to free herself, she became more annoyed. At last, and recklessly, she lowered her head and bit him on the arm while he was grabbing her wrist.
She bit with great effort, with all her grievance, anger, and annoyance in her bite to vent them out.
Feeling a sharp pain, Gu Yusheng frowned slightly, but had no other reaction.
He didn’t let her go, but stood there quietly, enduring her biting.
With the taste of blood in her mouth, she increased the pressure of her teeth. Finally, she let his arm go.
