The man did not speak, his gaze full of meaning as it crashed deep into her eyes.
Gu Nanqiao also realized that her attitude just now had been somewhat poor and softened her tone, "I'll try to make some time."
Only then did he respond, "Hmm."
Having said so, the strength in his hands still did not relax.
Gu Nanqiao lifted her eyelids, about to speak, but then he leaned in closer, his thin lips pressing a light kiss on her cheek.
After that, he slowly let go of his hand, "Go inside."
Before the peak of summer, the sunlight was still very soft. It fell on the verdant treetops, coating them with a gentle red, just like him.
Gu Nanqiao looked at the smile on his lips and felt as if a string in her brain was buzzing loudly.
She turned and walked towards the door; after a few steps, she unconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek where he had kissed her.
Reaching the doorway, she looked back just in time to see him reversing the car.
