From the time he climbed into the car, Gu Yusheng kept silent, his eyes closed. After hearing those words, he opened his eyes, squinted, and said, “Well.”
The car returned to awkward silence again. Looking straight ahead, Lu Bancheng gripped the steering wheel. Whenever he glanced at Gu Yusheng, he was constantly rubbing the necklace that he had picked up from the fountain.
…
Lu Bancheng asked the front desk of the hotel to send them two pairs of clothes. He took the one that fit him, then went to the bathroom attached the living room of the suite.
Because he hadn’t rested well that whole night, Lu Bancheng took a hot bath for a long time. After coming out, as he took a towel and dried his hair, he knocked on the door of the bedroom in the suite and said, “Bro Sheng?”
No one responded.
Lu Bancheng continued to knock on the door. Since it wasn’t locked, when he pushed slightly on it, he opened the door.
However, the bedroom was empty. Gu Yusheng wasn’t there, there were only his dirty clothes in the trash can and bath towels scattered on the bed.
It’s clear that Gu Yusheng left after taking a shower and changing into clean clothes.
The keys to his car are still on the night table, so he didn’t take his car. Then the place he went to must be…
Drying his hair absentmindedly, Lu Bancheng took his room card and exited their room, which was on the top floor. Without taking the elevator, he went directly to the exit door, going upstairs to the rooftop of the hotel.
As Lu Bancheng had guessed, the door to the rooftop was open, and Gu Yusheng was there.
With his experience in the army, he stood up straight. With a cigarette in his hand, he stood still, facing the sun rising in the east.
His whole body seemed to be surrounded by the golden sunlight, extremely brilliant. Around his feet were cigarette b.u.t.ts of different lengths.
The picture was so beautiful that it seemed like an ink painting from an old master.
However, looking at Gu Yusheng, who had no expression and was in such a quiet state, he thought that Gu Yusheng must feel lonely.
Originally, Lu Bancheng wanted to take Gu Yusheng to eat breakfast inside the hotel, but seeing his rough condition, he didn’t dare to bother him.
It was very quiet on the rooftop, and occasionally, there was a gust of morning breeze that slowly blew by.
After a while, Gu Yusheng raised his head slightly to blow a perfect smoke ring against the sky, then put out the cigarette between his fingers and turned around.
When he saw Lu Bancheng, he was a little shocked. He didn’t seem like he expected there to be a person standing behind him.
Lu Bancheng smiled and spoke first. “Go downstairs and eat something, then have a rest. You had dinner before, right?”
Gu Yusheng nodded gently, not saying a word.
…
There were only a few people in the breakfast room.
Selecting a window seat, Gu Yusheng and Lu Bancheng sat down face to face.
After ordering some dishes, Lu Bancheng saw Gu Yusheng lean lazily against the chair and look down at the broken necklace.
Staring at Gu Yusheng with interest for a while, Lu Bancheng couldn’t help bursting into laughter. He put the gla.s.s on the table after taking half a sip of water. At some point, he couldn’t restrain himself from saying what he had wanted to say the night before, right after he had guessed what was on his mind, “Bro Sheng, do you know what you look like now?”
Gu Yusheng ignored Lu Bancheng.
Accustomed to his reaction, Lu Bancheng continued to say, “Right now, you look like a concubine who’s fighting for attention.”
