As if drawn by an unseen force, Gu Xiaoai followed them, watching as they entered a classroom.
Sunlight streamed through the cartoon-adorned windows, casting a warm glow on Chu Shixiu, who was seated at the piano, playing Chopin. His slender frame was clad in a gentle white suit, mirroring his kind nature. His fingers danced across the keys, producing a melody tinged with sadness that filled the room.
“Shixiu.”
The woman walked over, her high heels clicking on the floor, and wrapped her arms around him from behind.
The piano music came to an abrupt halt as Chu Shixiu turned his head, offering her a gentle smile, embodying elegance and grace. “What brings you here, Nuannuan?”
Gu Xiaoai stood at the window, her expression frozen, her heart tightening.
The bag of fireworks slipped from her arms, hanging awkwardly from her hand.
Liang Nuannuan wrapped her arms around his neck and settled onto his lap, leaning into him with a playful pout. “Uncle Chu is hosting a birthday party for you tonight. If you don’t hurry back, you’ll miss it.”
Chu Shixiu gave another soft smile, holding her as he explained, “I do this every year. I’ll be back in time for the evening.”
“I know you come here every year to wait for your friend, but she never shows up, does she?” Liang Nuannuan tilted her head up, planting a gentle kiss on his cheek, patiently urging him, “If you keep being late for your own birthday party, Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu will surely be upset. Why cause tension between father and son over a friend who never appears?”
Chu Shixiu was a man who deeply cared about his family.
Upon hearing this, his eyes dimmed slightly.
Liang Nuannuan quickly pulled him up, “Come on, let’s go. If you keep waiting like this, I’ll start getting jealous.”
“Nuannuan…” Chu Shixiu was a bit helpless hearing his fiancée’s words.
“Who waits for a childhood friend for nine years, Shixiu? I might actually get jealous…” Liang Nuannuan’s pretty pink lips pouted, her face full of grievance.
“I’ll go with you then.” Chu Shixiu affectionately touched her face, turning to the man at the door, “Yu Qun, stay here and call me immediately if Xiao Ai shows up.”
“Understood, Young Master.”
Call me immediately if Xiao Ai shows up…
Gu Xiaoai couldn’t quite grasp her feelings. She didn’t step forward to reveal herself, instead quickly retreating to the corner of the wall before they emerged.
She had come to see Chu Shixiu.
Yet, in that moment, she hesitated.
All her courage vanished the instant Liang Nuannuan appeared.
