Chapter 158 - 157: Subtle Tenderness (3)
Why, in fact, had been hovering in his mind for a long time, but every time, he was unwilling to truly face this question. However, tonight, now, at this very moment, he suddenly wanted to get to the bottom of it, what all of this was really about.
Gu Ningyi’s fingertips involuntarily traced the contours of Dong Xin Yan’s cheek, touching it bit by bit. He gazed at her, his eyes unknowingly becoming as gentle as water, even unbeknownst to himself.
After a long while, he reached out, slowly pulling Dong Xin Yan into his arms, gently kissed her forehead, held her, and slowly closed his eyes.

When Dong Xin Yan woke up, the sunlight outside was already brilliantly bright. Dong Xin Yan held her head as she sat up, only feeling as if her entire head was splitting with pain, causing her to involuntarily groan. She pressed her temples hard, which eased the pain a bit.
She lifted her eyes, looking around the familiar room; she couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Yet before she could finish that sigh, her expression suddenly became tense.
Wait! How did she get back to the villa? Wasn’t she at, at Black Pool? How did she get back? Did Qianqian bring her back? No, no, no, Qianqian doesn’t even know she lives at Gu Ningyi’s place, so then...?
Dong Xin Yan tried hard to recall, yesterday... after gulping down that big bottle of liquor, she ran to the bathroom to throw up. After throwing up, she came out of the bathroom and then saw someone. Who was that person?
Dong Xin Yan couldn’t figure it out for a moment, clenched her hand into a fist, and knocked on her head hard.
That person seemed to look like Gu Ningyi, no, it seemed to be... Gu Ningyi! And then she rushed straight at him, grabbed him, and slammed him against the wall! And then, did she hit him? She vaguely remembered that she was particularly angry at that time!
But just at that time, she blacked out, no matter how much she knocked on her head, her brain ached from trying to think, but she couldn’t recall any fragment; all memories vanished when she lifted her fist.
