Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Chocolate
Gu Shiting rarely felt confused, wondering why this or that happened, because he always understood things instantly.
When did his feelings for Sheng Tang change? Probably that night, the moment his love awakened, he had no hesitation, nor was he alarmed.
He knew it had arrived and accepted it gladly.
His emotions awakened later than others, but once they did, he was very certain about his feelings.
He loved Sheng Tang!
In the years when his emotions first blossomed, he fell in love with his best friend.
Feelings are hard to clearly distinguish; Gu Shiting had always liked Sheng Tang very much. Whether it was friendship or love, it no longer mattered much to him.
Feelings are feelings, as long as they are deep enough.
He didn’t look at Sheng Tang’s reaction, perhaps even felt a little afraid.
Since the change in his feelings, when he looked at Sheng Tang again, he found that she was really quite slow to notice.
Or maybe, she simply hadn’t fallen in love with him.
Therefore, Gu Shiting was very cautious, exploring carefully, not daring to step over any boundaries easily.
He turned over, with his back to Sheng Tang, his fingers lightly touching his lips. The soft sensation lingered, and his heart continued to flutter lightly.
Gu Shiting was extremely happy that day.
Sheng Tang thought for a while and then fell asleep.
When they got up in the afternoon, he and Sheng Tang went to a restaurant for afternoon tea.
The two seemed as if nothing had happened.
Gu Shiting understood that, to Sheng Tang, perhaps really nothing had happened.
He wasn’t discouraged though.
He had to take it slow, strategize step by step. She would eventually be his, no need to rush.
"Have some cake," Gu Shiting said.
Sheng Tang replied, "I’m dieting."
"It’s okay, just eat a little. This is chocolate flavor," Gu Shiting said, "I heard chocolate can give people a sweet feeling similar to love."
Sheng Tang burst into laughter.
"Where did you learn such cheesy lines?" Sheng Tang asked.
Gu Shiting said, "I read them in a book."
"You should study properly instead of reading such nonsense," Sheng Tang said.
While they were talking, Gu Shiyan also came down after changing her clothes.
She unceremoniously took two sips of tea.
"I have a party tonight, I’m going to get ready," Gu Shiyan said, "I’m leaving now."
"Goodbye, Sister Feifei."
Gu Shiyan paused slightly: "I heard from Sister Dai that you’re very keen on entering the entertainment industry. There will be many big directors at tonight’s party. Do you want me to introduce you?"
Sheng Tang’s eyes lit up slightly.
Gu Shiting coldly interrupted: "No need! You go by yourself, we have things to do!"
Gu Shiyan: "...."
She got up and left.
After she left, Gu Shiting explained to Sheng Tang: "If you want to act or sing, I can ask Song Chen to arrange it."
Sheng Tang shook her head: "It’s okay, I don’t really want to right now. I still want to have a few lazy and relaxing years. Once in the entertainment industry, such leisurely weekends will be gone forever."
Gu Shiting nodded.
They had their afternoon tea, and then Gu Shiting drove Sheng Tang home again.
When Sheng Tang got home, the scene of Gu Shiting lightly kissing her kept flashing in her mind, and she couldn’t shake it off.
Luckily, the next day she went shopping with her family, bought clothes, ate, and got so exhausted that she completely forgot about it.
She didn’t know how to talk to Gu Shiting about it, so she kept delaying and never brought it up.
