Oh my god...
With a buzzing sound, Gu Sheng's mind went completely blank.
She felt the middle-aged man's gaze instantly become much kinder, seemingly saying something about not seeing Mo Qingcheng's parents for several days, how even family gatherings were hard to arrange... What did Mo Qingcheng say? It seemed like he said they were both out of town performing surgeries...
She felt like she was floating, completely stunned.
Gu Sheng, wake up, wake up!
Wake up quickly!
"Chengcheng's parents are usually very busy. When you have time in the future, come to Uncle's house for a meal?" This sentence successfully kicked her from one void into another... Gu Sheng reflexively smiled obediently.
Uncle turned and left.
"I need to go to the hospital," she heard Mo Qingcheng's voice say. "Shall I drop you off at the supermarket entrance?"
She felt she couldn't hold on much longer, completely unable to speak one-on-one with the top talent... Her eyes drifted around, just not daring to look at him.
He chuckled: "Let's go, I'm a bit pressed for time."
Her face flushed a few shades redder.
She swore she had never had a boyfriend in her life, but she had read romance novels and watched idol dramas... No experience had ever told her what to do when suddenly being called someone's girlfriend... Especially, when that person was the top talent, what should she do...
"Sheng Sheng?" His voice was somewhat low, waking her.
"Ah..." she responded. "Then... then, let's go quickly."
She lowered her head, followed his steps, waited for him to unlock the car, then opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. Throughout the entire process, she treated Mo Qingcheng as air, or rather, completely treated herself as air... only wishing to quickly reach the supermarket. But even though she stared straight ahead out the windshield, she could still see from the corner of her eye his hand adjusting the air conditioning vent, then resting on the steering wheel.
The car drove out of the residential area and onto the main road.
Valentine's Day sure has a lot of traffic...
Gu Sheng tried hard to look at the sea of cars ahead.
"Are you hot? Do you want to take off your down jacket?" he asked her.
This voice was just like that night when he sang "Weiyang" to her—low, unhurried, and magnetic.
She wanted to be calm and composed, wanted to seriously think about her suddenly tangled, messy, and confusing relationship with the top talent... but she couldn't betray her own ears.
This voice was her favorite.
Her favorite...
She didn't say anything, silently took off her down jacket, and held it on her lap.
This favorite voice had basically broken all her firsts... the first time giving all contact information to someone from the two-dimensional world, the first time meeting someone from the two-dimensional world in person, the first time having a meal with a boy who wasn't a classmate or relative, and... the first time going out with a male creature on Valentine's Day... then being called a girlfriend T.T
So...
Were she and the top talent now really... a... boyfriend and... girlfriend...? T.T
Why did it have the brain-blanking effect of a natural disaster?! Whenever she thought of the term "boyfriend and girlfriend," her heart raced and she immediately blocked it out in her mind, not daring to think about those four words again. The exhibition center was very close to the hospital, and soon the car stopped across from Gu Sheng's family's supermarket. Seeing the supermarket, Gu Sheng finally snapped out of her daze and said softly, "I'm leaving."
"I'll finish as quickly as possible. Have dinner together?""Ah? No, thank you," Gu Sheng was startled and looked at him, instinctively refusing, but when she met those beautiful eyes, her resolve instantly weakened. "I have to go home for dinner tonight, maybe another day..."
He hummed in acknowledgment.
He took her backpack from the back seat and handed it to her: "Be careful crossing the street."
"Mm..."
"Call you tonight?"
"Mm..."
Gu Sheng took the backpack and was about to open the door and flee.
Mo Qingchen suddenly grabbed her arm. She turned back, looking confused and flustered: "Put on your down jacket first, sling your backpack properly, then get out of the car." After saying this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
……
……
Gu Sheng felt her face was so hot she could fry an egg on it, yet she obediently put on her down jacket under the Top talent's gaze, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and then... glanced at him. Seeing no objection, she finally opened the car door and got out. Judging by the person in the car, he still wanted her to cross the street first before he left.
Gu Sheng instantly felt at least five years younger, like she was sixteen or seventeen again, her hands and feet almost not knowing what to do.
Thankfully, thankfully, she crossed the street safely and walked into her family's supermarket.
Cousin was at the checkout counter behind the register. After handing change to a customer, he gave her a serious once-over: "Went out for Valentine's Day? Didn't you say you weren't coming home this week? Why are you back?"
……
How was she supposed to know...
She had planned to return to school, but the Top talent said he'd drop her off at the supermarket entrance, and she just obediently followed him back T.T. Today was a major holiday, and the store was packed with customers, so Cousin didn't have time to tease her further. Gu Sheng walked over to the refrigerator, took out a can of cola, popped the tab with a snap, took a gulp, felt it wasn't enough, and drank several more mouthfuls in a row.
Girlfriend...
Boyfriend...
Her and the Top talent?
How on earth did they become boyfriend and girlfriend...
Really?
Fake?
She took a few more sips of cola and suddenly felt someone's eyes on her.
Turning her head, she saw Dong Yiru standing beside her, eyes sparkling, staring unblinkingly at her... "What's wrong... Do you want to ask for leave? Or..." Gu Sheng felt her pores tingling, goosebumps rising.
Dong Yiru continued to stare at her: "Sheng Sheng Man? Sheng Sheng Man!"
Gu Sheng nearly spat out her cola, choking completely. She covered her mouth and started coughing violently. Dong Yiru immediately took the can from her hand, still looking at her as if she were an alien. Gu Sheng coughed until tears streamed down her face. Finally catching her breath, she looked up with reddened eyes, wanting to ask if she had heard wrong, when the girl in front of her continued: "How did I not recognize it? Ever since I found out you were with my Favorite Voice Actor, I honestly listened to all the recordings of your birthday parties and song events. How could I not have realized it was the same person? It's too amazing, too amazing!"
Dong Yiru was so excited she was nearly incoherent.
Gu Sheng felt she couldn't hold on much longer.
"I'm not..."
"You definitely are!"
"I really am not..."
"It can't be wrong, it must be you, it's definitely you, no difference at all."
"..."
Dong Yiru said with absolute certainty: "Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone!"
She finally surrendered: "How did you know I am... Sheng Sheng Man."
She honestly wanted to dig a hole and bury herself right then and there..."Because I'm lucky~" Dong Yiru pulled out her phone from her pocket and mysteriously showed her a Weibo post. "Mo Bai just posted a Weibo, and many big names instantly reposted it. Then Mo Bai instantly deleted it... instantly deleted! And I actually managed to see it!"
What she showed Gu Sheng was Mo Bai's Weibo post.
It had indeed been deleted, but before deleting it, Mo Bai had reposted it himself, writing: "I was wrong, I'll delete it =。="
Gu Sheng had a very, very ominous feeling.
Ever since learning that Gu Sheng was Sheng Sheng Man, Dong Yiru suddenly felt a sense of pride, thinking, "My favorite voice actor's wife and I are sisters in hardship." Her attitude toward Gu Sheng became a hundred times more affectionate. "Sheng Sheng, don't worry, I won’t tell anyone who you are. I swear, absolute secrecy! Oh my god, you have no idea how excited I was when I recognized you just now!" Dong Yiru couldn’t help but cover her chest. "I know the Financial Backer of Top talent. I was so excited I almost cried..."
"What did he post?"
Gu Sheng felt like she was about to cry too T.T...
"It was a photo of the two of you from behind. He didn’t say anything at first, but as soon as Mu Mu reposted it, everyone understood."
......
......
Dong Yiru didn’t notice Gu Sheng’s frozen expression at all. She pulled up Mu Mu’s Weibo, which was also a repost of the "original post has been deleted," with an added comment: "Huh, isn’t this Top talent and his wife?"
