“It’s up to you.”
How could Mo Shiting refuse? He thought to himself that if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would probably find a way to pluck them for her.
“Yay, let’s go queue up then.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Li let go of him suddenly and ran off like a little bunny.
Mo Shiting slipped his hand into his pocket and followed her with his long strides, his eyes filled with endless gentleness.
Due to the timing, there weren’t many people riding the roller coaster. After waiting in line for about ten minutes, it was their turn.
At the beginning, Gu Li was quite excited. But as the rollercoaster climbed higher, she unexpectedly began to feel scared.
Oh heck, she wasn’t scared of heights, was she?
“Ahhhhh ”
Before she had time to think about it, the roller coaster started flipping, making her scream with her eyes closed.
The others were doing the same.
The screams were deafening, one after another.
Gu Li was trembling with fear.
Mo Shiting reached out to hold her in his arms, “Don’t be scared, I’m here.”
The man’s deep, magnetic voice echoed in the rush of the wind. At this moment, Gu Li felt an unprecedented sense of security.
“I’m not scared!”
She finally dared to open her eyes and shouted out loud.
Mo Shiting’s mouth drew up in a small smile. Under the setting sun, he looked even more warm and charming than before.
After the roller coaster ride, Gu Li could hardly stand.
Mo Shiting teased her, “Want to go again?”
“No, once is enough.”
She quickly waved her hand, still frightened, “Thank God we didn’t eat before the ride, or I might have thrown up everything.”
Mo Shiting:”…”
Who in their right mind goes on a roller coaster after a big meal?
“Can you walk? Should I carry you?”
Seeing that she seemed weak, he asked with concern.
Gu Li, slightly out of breath, said, “No need, people will laugh at us.”
Though she said so, she leaned against Mo Shiting uncontrollably, “Just let me lean on you for a bit.”
“You can lean on me for a lifetime.”
The words of love slipped from his lips.
Gu Li’s face turned red, “In your dreams.”
“Don’t you wish?”
“You… Hmph, I’m so hungry, let’s go eat.”
Embarassed and with her strength returning, she decisively left him and ran off.
Mo Shiting:”…”
After having dinner, it was nearly eight o’clock.
The square where the fireworks were to be set off was packed with people.
The two of them seemed to synchronously decide to avoid the crush and stay on the outskirts instead.
“Why do you like fireworks so much?”
Mo Shiting asked out of curiosity.
In his opinion, they were beautiful but pointless.
After giving it a little thought, Gu Li replied seriously, “Although fireworks are short-lived, even their fleeting brilliance can’t erase their moment of lighting up the night.”
As she spoke, she looked up at the sky.
Just at this moment, a huge firework burst into the night sky, dazzling in its multiple colors.
She couldn’t help but counter-question him, “Don’t you think this view is particularly beautiful?”
“Yes, it’s beautiful!”
Mo Shiting nodded, his eyes never leaving her smiling face. His deep eyes were filled with adoration.
“Gu Li ”
He called her softly.
Gu Li responded, slowly turning her head only to be met with his looming handsome face, and… his lips moving towards hers…
The curfew at Imperial City University women’s dormitory was at ten o’clock.
At nine o’clock, Gu Li was already insisting on going back to school.
Mo Shiting was reluctant to part, “Won’t you stay with me at the villa?”
Gu Li persisted, “No, I should stay at the dormitory.”
“Then can I pick you up on Friday night?”
“That’s probably not a good idea.”
She hadn’t forgotten that they were technically divorced. If she stayed with him again, wouldn’t she appear spineless?
Mo Shiting’s eyes darkened slightly as he understood her thoughts.
He gently touched her hair and said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll respect your decision.”
Gu Li:”???”
Why didn’t he try to convince her?
Maybe she would have agreed if he persisted.
Hmph, typical man behaviour.
They arrived at school by car, but Mo Shiting insisted on walking her to her dormitory building.
Gu Li didn’t refuse.
The two of them walked side by side, keeping their thoughts to themselves. Surprisingly, neither of them said a word.
At this moment, most of the students were already in their dormitories, so the campus was quite quiet, with only the rustling sounds of the wind.
The walk from the school gate to the dormitory took them half an hour, unbelievably silent all the way.
If it weren’t for the fact that they were holding hands, one might have mistaken them for being in a cold war.
Seeing that the curfew was about to begin, Gu Li didn’t have time to say goodbye to Mo Shiting properly. She quickly pecked him on the cheek and ran inside..
