Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Resting Peacefully
Gu Shiting knew Sheng Tang was just joking.
But her words, like the vines of a devil, once spoken, entangled his heart, growing fiercely and almost suffocating him.
He really wanted to trap her tightly, locking her in a dark cage as well.
However, these were all his impulsive thoughts.
When he was rational, he couldn’t bear to treat Sheng Tang like that. He was already deeply mired, half of his body was out of his control, how could he bear to let Sheng Tang suffer the same pain?
He was willing to give her his life.
Sheng Tang’s eyes showed a bit of panic. She gently pushed him: "Talk properly, you’re pressing on my hair."
Gu Shiting quickly let go.
Sheng Tang took the opportunity to sit up and tidy her hair.
Gu Shiting, although so familiar, seemed a bit strange, as if he had grown up overnight.
The trace of boyish innocence on his face was nowhere to be found.
Sheng Tang regretted joking too much.
Children have some abnormal thoughts, and adults should guide them in the right direction, not joke with them, making them think those thoughts are feasible.
To Gu Shiting, Sheng Tang was like an unpolished child, and she had the duty to guide his growth.
"Don’t think like that." Sheng Tang smiled at him, "No matter who I meet in the future, you will always be my best friend, the number one in my heart. I promise you."
Gu Shiting lowered his head, silent.
Sheng Tang pushed him: "Do you really not believe me? Do you not believe a single word I say?"
Gu Shiting sighed softly.
His Tangtang, was unexpectedly so dull in this aspect.
He really wanted to refute, what he wanted was no longer just friendship. However, the previous words were not well said, which angered Tangtang, continuing further would only make things worse.
Gu Shiting held back: "I believe you."
It was good to believe.
Sheng Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not angry anymore?" She stood up with a smile, "If you’re not angry, can I go home now?"
Gu Shiting’s mood sank back into the icy water.
He did not speak.
Sheng Tang casually ruffled his hair, making his slightly messy hair even messier.
Her fingers were slightly cool, running through his hair.
The hair was cool and soft, but the roots were warm, touching the scalp, Gu Shiting’s whole body tensed up.
After a while, he lifted his eyes: "Don’t go home, stay with me tonight."
He tried to stay calm, but there was a flicker of emotion in his eyes, slowly rippling.
"No, kid." Sheng Tang sighed, "I sneaked out, if my parents can’t find me in the morning, they will be scared to death. Besides, I have to get up early for school."
Gu Shiting: "...."
Sheng Tang: "I really have to go."
"Let Song Chen take you." Gu Shiting said, "Be careful on the road."
Sheng Tang said okay.
Gu Shiting went to knock on Song Chen’s door.
So late, Song Chen was still fully dressed and hadn’t gone to bed, as if he had been waiting the whole time.
Having no work was relaxing.
Sheng Tang felt a bit apologetic: "Brother Song, did I disturb your rest?"
"No, I usually don’t sleep at this time." Song Chen smiled, "Besides, I’m not a high school student like you, I don’t need to get up early."
Although he said this, when Gu Shiting got up, he usually got up with him.
Song Chen was a considerate person.
Sheng Tang bid farewell to Gu Shiting.
After she left, it was already midnight.
Gu Shiting stood alone at the door for a while. After the panic in his heart, there was finally a lingering sweetness in his thoughts.
Tangtang knew he was angry and came over in the middle of the night to appease him...
Gu Shiting’s lips curled slightly, finally showing a faint smile.
He sat in the living room until Sheng Tang called him, saying she had arrived home, then he went upstairs to sleep.
That night, Gu Shiting slept soundly.
