Chapter 321: Chapter 166 (Must Read) Shumei: I Think I’m Falling for Gao Jun

"Brother, what are you doing?"

It was only after Gao Jun had held Zhou Shumei in his arms for a full minute that she finally asked, her voice tinged with reluctance.

Feigning a struggle.

Gao Jun then let go of her waist and said, "I just wanted Shumei to feel what it’s like to be hugged. It was indeed presumptuous of me, I’m sorry."

After he said that, he stood up, took his clothes, and prepared to leave.

Hearing this, Zhou Shumei quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother, that’s not what I meant, don’t be sad."

Gao Jun pretended to explain, "Actually, I can see that your marriage doesn’t seem very happy. I’m just an outsider, and I have no right to help you solve your family matters. I just thought that if hugging you would make you happy, then I would be more than willing to give you this hug."

Moved by his words, Zhou Shumei felt her eyes become moist.

Her eyes hid deep melancholy, like a lake shrouded in dark clouds, having lost the clarity and luster of past days.

Her face, still beautiful, had not shown its once radiant smile for a long time. In its place was an endless silence and a faint sorrow.

The unhappiness in her family was like a heavy stone weighing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

The indifference of her husband, the rebellion of her children—everything pricked her heart like needles, making life unbearable.

Zhou Shumei had tried hard to maintain her family, but it seemed no matter what she did, she couldn’t change the situation.

Now, she finally couldn’t take it anymore.

The grievances and pain in her heart surged forward like a flood.

Zhou Shumei could no longer hold back her emotions.

Just when she thought her life would continue dull and devoid of vitality for the second half of her life, Gao Jun came into her world.

He was like a warm ray of sunshine, shining into her cold heart.

Zhou Shumei looked at Gao Jun, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered the courage to throw herself into Gao Jun’s embrace.

Her tears fell like broken pearls, wetting his shirt.

Zhou Shumei held him tightly, as if trying to melt him into her body and disperse her pain and grievances with this hug.

Gao Jun said nothing but simply held her quietly, letting her cry as much as she wanted in his arms.

The sound of his heartbeat in her ears became a soothing melody, bringing her a touch of comfort.

She knew that at this moment, she was no longer alone; someone was willing to accompany her through these tough times.

"Brother, to tell you the truth," Zhou Shumei also gathered courage, pouring out what was in her heart, "that moment when you hugged me, my whole brain went blank, but I could feel a happiness I hadn’t felt in a long time. Thank you, truly."

Hearing this, Gao Jun held her a bit tighter, "I know, I know it all. We must be fated to have met at a gas station. Maybe it’s an opportunity given to us by the heavens. Besides, I think I get along very well with Shumei, so I don’t want you to be hurt or sad."

At that moment, Zhou Shumei looked up at Gao Jun with tear-filled eyes, "Thank you, brother. It’s you who made me feel some passion for life these past few days. Yesterday, while painting, I even thought that I hadn’t experienced this feeling in over a decade."

Gao Jun then reminded her, "Shumei, if you keep crying, your makeup is going to run."

Zhou Shumei smiled, "Okay, okay, I’ll stop crying."

"Shumei, I’ve noticed there are a lot of beautiful flowers underneath your apartment complex. How about I take you down to take some photos?" Gao Jun suggested.

"Sure." But the next second, Zhou Shumei shook her head and frowned, "But... what if my red eyes affect the makeup?"

"I think no matter how much you cry, you’re beautiful," Gao Jun then took her arm, "Let’s go, don’t worry, I’ll make sure the photos turn out great."

Zhou Shumei naturally trusted Gao Jun.

But to be honest, she was still a bit afraid; after all, if she ran into someone she knew in the complex, it would be hard to explain her relationship with Gao Jun.

Of course, she had nothing to fear if she did nothing wrong and would be able to introduce him frankly.

But in the future...

That might not be certain.

So Zhou Shumei suggested going to the park behind the complex.

"Great, the park has a lot more scenes to choose from," Gao Jun agreed.

Soon, the two arrived at the park.

Zhou Shumei’s previous concerns faded away.

During the photo shoot, Gao Jun directed her how to pose.

"Good, lift your hand a bit higher."

Perhaps because Zhou Shumei’s pose was not quite right, Gao Jun even went over, taking her hand.

At first, Zhou Shumei felt a bit embarrassed.

Fearing that others would see.

But later, she started to enjoy it.

Before long, they had taken many beautiful photos.

It goes without saying, these photos were quite valuable.

They were certainly of high quality.

Zhou Shumei also liked this style.

After the shoot, Gao Jun pretended to say, "It’s about time; Shumei, I’ve got to go."

"So soon?" Zhou Shumei suddenly felt reluctant, "Can’t you stay a little longer?"

"I feel a bit hot and want to take a shower," Gao Jun explained.

Hearing this, Zhou Shumei hurriedly suggested, "Why don’t you take a shower at my place then?"

"Would that really be appropriate?" Gao Jun probed.

Zhou Shumei laughed, "You didn’t think it was inappropriate when you hugged me just now; what’s there to be shy about? We’re doing everything in the open."
