Ch.278 Gu Tong, Xia Qiao, and Mao Shiyuan. (2)

Seeing that he finished smoking a cigarette, depressed, and was about to smoke another one, Gu Tong couldn’t help but say, “Smoking isn’t good for your lungs. Your job depends on your singing. Control yourself.”

Xia Qiao wasn’t surprised to hear her voice. He played with the cigarette in his hands, but he didn’t light it up at least.

Gu Tong crossed her hands over her chest as she leaned against the wall. While laughing, “So that’s the type of girl you like. It’s quite shocking.”

“My mother likes her.”

“Oh? You’re quite obedient.”

Xia Qiao could tell she was mocking him.

Seeing that he said nothing, she continued, “That girl is much worse than Siyue. Your foresight has gotten much worse.”

“Mn, it’s fine. I’m going to break up with her in a few days anyway.”

“Really? That’s a pity. I originally wanted to see you in pain forever. Who knew that you’re going to break up with her.”

Xia Qiao turned around to look at her. He pursed his lips but said nothing.

Gu Tong smiled happily. “Host Xia, good luck!” Then she smiled again and left carefreely.

Xia Qiao stared at her, staying unmoved for a while.

He liked Xin Siyue but he also knew that nothing could happen between them because she lived a happy life after she got married.

However, he couldn’t control his heart. No matter who he got in a relationship with, he didn’t feel anything for them.

He knew that Gu Tong liked him, but she was Xin Siyue’s best friend. That’s why he did his best to reject her because he was afraid of hurting Gu Tong in the end. He was scared that Xin Siyue would fall out with her as a result.

He wanted to leave the best memories in Xin Siyue’s mind.

As for his future, he didn’t really care.

As for Gu Tong, he blessed her as well.

Gu Tong didn’t know what floor she walked to as she walked downstairs. She suddenly stopped and bent down, crying. She wrapped her arms around her knee and buried her head in her arms, crying loudly.

She believed that this was the last time she’d cry for Xia Qiao.

What was good about that person anyway?

She’ll find someone she liked one day!

However, she was still waiting because the person that loved her hadn’t arrived yet.

Gu Tong cried for a while and felt her sorrowful mood fading away now. She was about to find some tissues and clean herself up when she noticed that someone gave her a package of tissues by her side when she looked up.

Gu Tong shockingly followed the gaze and through her blurry view, she realized that Mao Shiyuan was the one besides her— Chen Sinan’s good friend.

Because of Xin Siyue, Gu Tong had seen him a few times before.

Mao Shiyuan couldn’t help but laugh seeing that her makeup was ruined and that her tears turned black too. He lightly said, “I thought you were going to cry for a long time. Thankfully, you stopped.”

“You…how long have you been here?” Gu Tong was shocked.

“Since you started crying.”

“You!”

“To be precise, since you were talking to that man.”

“Hey!”

“Sorry, I wasn’t purposely eavesdropping. I just wanted to come out and make a call when I heard you guys.” After he said that, he watched her glare fiercely at him so he added, “You’re actually really good and you’re also very beautiful. He’s the one that doesn’t deserve you.”

“Oh, thank you for the compliments.”

Gu Tong stood up. Because she had been kneeling for a long time, her legs were a bit numb due to the lack of blood circulation. She accidentally almost fell. Thankfully, Mao Shiyuan caught her quickly.

Gu Tong couldn’t help but tremble when she felt a pair of hands around her waist.

Mao Shiyuan looked down and stared at her for a while. He didn’t even let go of his grip on her waist.

Time seemed to be frozen here.

Up until Mao Shiyuan asked seriously, “Why don’t we try to be together?”

“Hm?”

“Do you agree?”

Gu Tong didn’t react. “You… you’re being serious?”

“Very serious. I’ve long wanted to get your contact info from Xin Siyue. However, because of Zhuang Zhe, it was kinda inconvenient for me to say anything.”

Gu Tong was speechless.

She knew that Zhuang Zhe was pursuing Zhong Qin.

“So you…”

“I think that we are suitable for each other. If not, we can slowly work to become suitable for one another. Plus, I’m sure that I won’t be like him. I won’t make you cry.”

Gu Tong looked at him and blinked her eyes. In the end, she nodded for some unknown reason. “Okay, let’s try.”
