Looking out of the car window, Yu Fei finds high-rise buildings gradually give way to stretches of grassy areas. She takes a deep breath, feeling a hint of sweetness in the air.

Gu Yi has been peeping at Yu Fei. Seeing her unconscious smile, he also smiles.

Three hours have passed since they went out at 3 pm. The darkening sky is reddened by the setting sun which seems unwilling to leave. It is too beautiful to depict in words.

Gu Yi opens the on-board radio station, allowing gentle music to flow in the car.

Yu Fei feels relaxed immediately, and every cell in her body feels the same.

She finally regains her consciousness to ask Gu Yi for their destination.

Gu Yi presses his index finger on his lips and says softly, “A secret.”

“Childish.” Yu Fei laughs. But she doesn’t ask any more and appreciates the scenery along the way, not noticing the car is heading towards the hill.

They finally arrive at their destination when it’s completely dark. Gu Yi presses the brake, and Yu Fei delivers a questioning look as if to ask whether it’s the destination. He nods, “let’s get off.”

The moment Yu Fei gets off, Gu Yi dresses her a coat due to low hill temperature at night. She thanks him with gratitude.

Gu Yi means to hold her hands, but she dodges him imperceptibly.

Yu Fei clenches her clothes and walks forward. Looking down the hill, she murmurs, “It’s so beautiful.”

Her words are true. In front of her eyes is the whole city’s night view where there are neon light and skyscrapers, which is far from the maddening city.

But Gu Yi is not embarrassed by her avoidance. He walks forwards, too, and stands beside Yu Fei, appreciating the city’s night view.

“Do you know,” Gu Yi murmurs, “I used to come here every time when I felt bad. Seeing the city in front of me, I felt that the whole city was under my foot and possibilities were infinite.”

Hearing his words, Yu Fei looks at Gu Yi whose side face does not look as tender and gentle as usual, but appears rather indifferent against the night.

She feels a strange Gu Yi, but in the meanwhile she thinks it’s the real Gu Yi as well.

Before she retracts her sight, Gu Yi happens to turn his head towards her. Her eyes contact his and a gentle breeze passes by, and there seems to be ambiguity lingering in the air.

Gu Yi can’t help but lean forward. Yu Fei fixes herself in place and doesn’t move. She feels her brain has lost ability to think when Gu Yi is closer and closer with hormonal smell.

Ko Chen’s face suddenly flashes across her mind when Gu Yi’s lips are quite near her face. She immediately comes to herself and retreats with panic, not even noticing her clothes have fallen on the ground and she has stepped on it.

The look on Gu Yi’s face shows it hurts him.

What she can do is stand awkwardly and speechlessly.

“Well...I...”

Without any words, he walks towards Yu Fei, but she retreats subconsciously. A bitter smile emerges on his face, “you don’t have to guard against me like this. I won’t do anything to you if you don’t want to.”

The coat is picked up by Gu Yi and he pats dust off it and re-dresses it on Yu Fei. His words are as tender as usual, “It’s windy; you may catch a cold.”

His gentleness embarrasses and torments Yu Fei more. Blame rather than gentleness is more bearable for Yu Fei.

Clenching her clothes, with a trembling but firm voice, she says, “Look, I know you’re always so nice to me. But the only one in my heart is Ko Chen. I couldn’t...”

Before her words are finished, Gu Yi stops her. He still smiles gently as usual. It seems like he isn’t affected by her words at all.

“Yu Fei, I know. I know. I’m willing to be with you. It’s okay if you don’t love me. I don’t care.”

Yu Fei is more upset by his words. She is meant to say something more, but Gu Yi doesn’t give her a chance.

“Look at the sky. It’s a pity not to appreciate the beautiful moonlight tonight.” He points at the sky with a mischievous smile on his face.

She looks up and can’t help but sigh.

Stars are brighter in the splash-ink sky, each of which is scattered but twinkles coincidentally as if making a dialogue.

“It’s so beautiful!” She sighs.

Gu Yi looks at Yu Fei, and sighs too, “Right, so beautiful.”

It seems that her eyes harbors the whole starry sky, and every blink seems to strike a chord in his heart. Gu Yi can’t divert his attention away from Yu Fei.

It’s late when they’re back. Due to pregnancy, Yu Fei is pretty tired. Sitting in the seat, she can’t help dozing off and falls into sleep gradually.

Seeing her sleeping soundly, Gu Yi slows down the car and drives more steadily. It takes them four hours to go back, which is originally three hours’ drive.

Yu Fei is still asleep without any hint of waking up after he parks the car. Gu Yi gets out of the car to open the co-pilot door and gently carries her in his arms.

She moves slightly but doesn’t wake up as if she has sensed something.

Gu Yi carries her and enters the elevator. He sees an unexpected person the moment he gets out when reaching the floor where he lives,

“What are you doing here?” With an unpleasant face, Gu Yi lowers his voice for fear that Yu Fei will be woken up.

Ko Chen stares at Yu Fei who sleeps soundly in Gu Yi’s arms, which hurts him pretty much.

Although he said she would be okay in the afternoon, he can’t really be relaxed after going back with Duan. Thinking over, he went back and waited at Gu Yi’s home for several hours like a fool.

But he didn’t expect such a scene.

Now he becomes a green-eyed monster. Regardless of whether Yu Fei will be woken up, he reaches out his hands and exclaims angrily, “Give her to me!”

Gu Yi isn’t afraid of him. Looking him in the eye, he asks, “Why should I let her go?”
