Chapter 468: Chapter 468: I’m Furious
Sheng Tang was startled by him.
On the other side, Jiang Baocu also heard the noise and fell silent.
Sheng Tang briefly said a few words to her and hung up the phone.
"It’s nothing significant," Sheng Tang smiled. "We went out to play today, and by sheer coincidence, we got caught on someone’s live stream. Even more coincidentally, someone from school recognized us."
Gu Shiting: "..."
What kind of minuscule probability is this?
He never thought he and Sheng Tang would be discovered in such a way.
However, something didn’t seem right.
What did Sheng Tang mean by "didn’t guess"?
Gu Shiting became alert, his eyes slightly narrowed: "Who did you say the camera caught?"
Sheng Tang didn’t expect him to be so keen and laughed awkwardly: "You, and my... back."
Gu Shiting: "..."
He took out his own phone.
Indeed, he saw that photo.
The photo wasn’t very clear, but his facial features were still very distinct, unmistakable.
And the girl next to him in the photo looked so introverted and quiet, it was hard to tell it was Sheng Tang.
He also glanced at the comments below.
The girls his schoolmates were speculating about, he didn’t recognize any of them, but none was Sheng Tang.
No wonder Sheng Tang said "didn’t guess" it was her.
Was she pleased?
Gu Shiting’s chest felt like it was scraped, a painful bitterness. His tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, gripping his phone so hard it almost got deformed.
He wanted to get angry, to ask Sheng Tang why she was happy, shouldn’t she feel disappointed?
If it had only caught his back and people guessed who Sheng Tang’s boyfriend was, but no one guessed it was him, he would be extremely furious.
Gu Shiting was not willing to get angry at Sheng Tang, so he turned around and left.
He suddenly understood his sister.
Yesterday, his sister left without a word, and back then, he thought she was being crazy. Now, experiencing it himself, he realized how excruciating and painful it was to have a burning heart but not be able to speak out, the kind of grievance it brought.
He quickly went upstairs.
Sheng Tang was left downstairs, looking at his resolute back and sighed.
"What can I do?" she muttered to herself, "Just have to coax him again."
Thinking so, she followed him upstairs.
Gu Shiting was in his study.
Before Sheng Tang entered, she heard a loud bang, presumably him throwing his phone against the wall.
"Such temper," she sighed again.
Kids are hard to raise.
Sheng Tang pushed the door open.
The door wasn’t locked. Gu Shiting stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the study, motionless.
It seemed he didn’t notice anyone coming in.
Sheng Tang walked up to him and looked up. His eyes were red, as if he was about to explode with anger.
Sheng Tang: "..."
She grabbed his arm tightly, clinging onto him.
"Hey?" she tilted her head to look at him, "Are you mad at me?"
Gu Shiting pressed his lips together, gritting his teeth so hard his gums were aching.
He couldn’t utter a word.
"I’m happy they didn’t guess it was me because I don’t want to be rumored with you. If people start gossiping about us being close, wouldn’t it be awkward?" Sheng Tang said with a bright smile.
Her eyes seemed like a clear spring, transparent and bright, looking at Gu Shiting.
Suddenly, Gu Shiting forcefully pulled her towards him.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing her against him, almost feeling his heartbeats and blood flow.
"You’re driving me crazy!" he gritted his teeth, "You don’t understand, you just don’t care!"
Sheng Tang’s heart skipped a beat.
She sensed he was about to shatter their current balance, breaking through all veils of pretence.
She became inexplicably nervous.
Gu Shiting held her tightly with one hand, while the other cupped the back of her head, and his lips descended.
