Chapter 816: 816
Gu Xingze stood in the rain with his back facing her .
Yun Shishi rushed into the rain and slowly walked up to him upon seeing his footsteps stopped . She attempted to pull his hand, but the moment her trembling fingers was about to touch his, his hand retracted, as if he had gotten electrocuted .
Her eyes exuded a hurt gaze .
“Brother…”
Her helpless yet weak cry hit the most tender part of his heart .
With a hoarse voice, she asked, “Why are you always avoiding me? You clearly love me, too, so why are you always escaping? What exactly are you escaping from?”
He trembled for a bit, but very quickly, he constrained the roaring sea in his heart and feigned calmness .
“I’m not… escaping . ”
“You are! You clearly are!” she yelled in exasperation . “You’re always avoiding me! Always!”
With that, she reached out to hook his hand .
He did not shun her touch this time .
Gazing at his back, she carefully asked, “Didn’t we make a promise in the past that we’d be together for life – together forever? You promised me; have you forgotten this?”
Her lips constantly trembled as her broken yet pleading voice left their confines . “Brother, love me, alright?”
There was a pregnant silence .
Lin Fengtian immediately zoomed in on the image, giving Yun Shishi a close-up shot .
The fragility in her eyes was full of tension .
He applauded in his heart!
The dead silence continued for some more, and it seemed as if a century had passed before Gu Xingze sighed . “How can I love you?”
He turned around, and the camera zoomed in on his face .
He frowned slightly . Hesitation and fragility were evident in his eyes .
Even her heart trembled upon seeing that gaze .
“Xiachun, what can I take to love you?”
…
This scene was finally done .
The director stood up and clapped thunderously .
Out of the role, Yun Shishi’s face revealed a smile of relief .
Gu Xingze, however, seemed to have gone too deep into his role; his face was despondent .
From her periphery, she saw his face, and her smile stiffened in place .
“Clear the set! Make preparations; we’ll end here today!”
Almost at once, the actor turned around and headed to the building .
She stood rooted to the spot . Her assistant rushed over with the blanket, urging, “Shishi, quickly go take a bath!”
Coming back to herself, she nodded . “Alright . ”
“Do you need me to accompany you?”
“No, I’ll go on my own . ”
“Alright! Remember to drink that ginger soup after you bathe!”
The production team had especially booked the entire floor of a hotel, which was beside a hospital, for the staff’s use .
At this time, the sky had already darkened .
It was already 10 PM .
The front desk staff was feeling sleepy .
Clenching the room card in her hand, Yun Shishi carried the thermos flask and entered the hotel . However, by coincidence, she met Gu Xingze at the elevator entrance .
The startled her could not help feeling a little awkward .
In the rain scene earlier, she got fully drenched, whereas the man, who was holding an umbrella the entire time, only got drenched at some corners .
“Do remember to take a bath, too, or else you’ll catch a cold . ”
“Mhm,” he blandly answered . His gaze, however, was at the elevator doors .
The floor of the elevator kept on jumping .
Ding dong!
A message alert sounded .
She took out her phone; it was a message from Youyou . [Dearest mommy, what time are you coming home tonight? (heart)(heart)]
