Chapter 87: Chapter 087 Sleeping in the Same Bed

In the end, Sheng Zong slept outside because Gu Shiting couldn’t accept anyone else getting too close to him besides Sheng Tang.

Sheng Zong was about to burst into tears.

Sheng Tang whispered to him, "The figurine was a gift from him, you should be grateful. Besides, when we get home, we can sleep together."

He walked out feeling very aggrieved.

After taking a shower, Gu Shiting returned to the bed.

The last time Sheng Tang slept at his place, he was sleeping on the floor. This time was the first time they were actually sleeping together.

He didn’t have those typical male fantasies, so he wasn’t excited or uneasy, just feeling very warm and secure inside.

They lay down side by side with the lights still on in the room.

Sheng Tang slept well, unaffected by external factors; it didn’t matter whether the lights were on or off.

Before she fell asleep, she chatted idly with Gu Shiting.

"...Which university are you planning to apply to next year?" Sheng Tang asked him, "Are you going abroad or taking the college entrance exam here?"

Gu Shiting was silent for a moment, "I don’t know."

His illness greatly restricted him.

He had never chosen his environment; rather, he was forced to be in a particular environment, and then his family made that environment as suitable as possible for him.

"Then your parents... haven’t they discussed this matter? Your grades are excellent, you’re the top student in the whole school," Sheng Tang said.

Gu Shiting replied again, "No."

Then he changed the subject, "How did you do on your exams this time?"

"I did it on purpose, afraid that if I made too much progress, the teachers or classmates would criticize me," Sheng Tang said, "Even though I ranked only 77th, I am 100% satisfied."

Gu Shiting didn’t doubt her words, "If you hadn’t done it on purpose, what rank could you have achieved?"

Sheng Tang calculated for a moment, "Top ten in the school."

"Couldn’t you make it to the top three?" His question was quite sharp.

Sheng Tang seriously thought about it, "It’s a bit difficult. The thing holding me back right now is math. I’m still not very adapted to it, and I didn’t intentionally do poorly."

He immediately offered, "I can tutor you."

Sheng Tang smiled, "We’ll have to wait until winter break; there’s no time now. I’m crazy busy every day."

"Then winter break it is," Gu Shiting said quickly, wanting to settle the matter.

This way, he could see her every day during the winter break and wouldn’t have to endure a month without seeing her.

"Alright!" Sheng Tang replied with a smile.

Gu Shiting thought for a moment and then asked Sheng Tang, "What university do you want to apply to in the future? Your English is good, so going abroad wouldn’t be a problem."

Sheng Tang replied, "I want to apply to film school."

Gu Shiting frowned.

He seemed to have no good feelings about the entertainment industry.

"Why?"

"I enjoy living under the spotlight, having others see me. Whether it’s admiration or criticism, I enjoy it all," Sheng Tang said, "I’m very comfortable on stage."

Gu Shiting said nothing.

Just thinking about it made him shiver.

He feared nothing more than people getting close to him or talking about him.

He wanted absolute quiet and solitude.

Well, that was before.

Now, he wanted Sheng Tang.

Sheng Tang once said they could rent a place, he would cook at home for her, and then do some work online or remotely manage a company. Gu Shiting thought that was wonderful.

"It’s... it’s pretty good too," he reluctantly praised her dream.

As Sheng Tang spoke, she drowsily drifted into sleep.

She slept soundly, with faint breathing sounds.

Under the covers, Gu Shiting’s hand touched hers and gently held it.

His palm felt a bit of warmth and softness, making his heart unusually calm.

He gradually fell asleep as well.

Sheng Tang was quite restless in her sleep; at first, she was lying properly, but later she rolled over and ended up right in Gu Shiting’s arms.
