Gu Nanqiao refused, "Don't."
"I was just praising you for being obedient."
"..."
Speechless, Gu Nanqiao indulged his pettiness, smaller than a needle's eye, and leaned in to gently kiss him again.
Huo Jingting's mood brightened, "That's more like it."
After he finished speaking, he took her hand and walked towards the parking spot.
Gu Nanqiao got into the car first; Huo Jingting opened the door and was about to get in when he paused and looked back toward the hospital entrance.
His emotions, deep as a pool's bottom, were inscrutable, mixed with an indescribable complexity.
He had heard Xu Shuo describe Si Ling's specific traits, always presenting himself behind a mask, never showing his true face to anyone.
Gu Nanqiao might find his repeated appearances merely odd and not think deeply about it, but he sensed that things were not so simple.
