Chapter 1440: Chapter 1439: Lost

"Was the movie good?" Zhou Yanlin suddenly spoke up beside Gu Joy’s ear, causing her to startle momentarily before nodding, "Good."

At this moment, her face was flushed, as Zhou Yanlin’s breath showered on her cheek, warm and hot.

Zhou Yanlin’s mind wasn’t even on the movie, those romance films are what young girls like, right?

But sitting by her side to watch it seemed pretty good.

Gu Joy’s body was a bit stiff because they were sitting quite close, so she could smell his scent.

She felt a bit uncomfortable and wanted to move away, but Zhou Yanlin’s hand was resting on the back of her chair, leaving her unable to budge.

The movie was watched amidst tension.

Finally, when the theater emptied, Zhou Yanlin actually had no clue what had been shown, but seeing Gu Joy enjoying it made him feel it was all worth it.

The two of them left the cinema and then went to have a late-night snack, which was Gu Joy’s favorite, spicy crawfish.

Afterward, Zhou Yanlin drove Gu Joy home.

Actually, Gu Joy was somewhat puzzled—what they were doing now, wasn’t it just like dating?

But since he hadn’t mentioned anything, she played dumb, just feeling a bit embarrassed.

After escorting her to the doorstep, Zhou Yanlin then returned to his own place.

As soon as she entered, Gu Joy felt that something was amiss.

Right, it was the way everyone’s gaze turned towards her.

She changed her shoes in the foyer, then walked over.

Gu Shaoting’s face seemed rather stern, having just seen from the door’s monitor that Joy came back with a boy; the face wasn’t clear, though.

Gu Joy glanced at the clock on the wall, finding it incredible, "Why haven’t you all gone to sleep?"

Could it be that they were all waiting for her?

"Why so late?" Gu Shaoting’s tone was somewhat muffled but not reproachful.

"After watching the movie we went for a late-night snack." Gu Joy answered straightforwardly; it was just a friend, so there was no need to feel guilty.

Hearing this, Gu Shaoting wasn’t sure how to respond.

Alas! The girl is grown up, the world is hers!

He also had to learn to gradually let go. Doting on a child too much won’t do; how could she live without support when he’s gone?

After seeing Joy return to her room, Gu Shaoting went to the balcony to have a cigarette; it had been a long while since he last smoked, usually only during times of frustration.

Afterward, he stood for a while, finding the surroundings very quiet, and so he too went back to his room.

Shu Pan was still leaning on the bed reading a book when Gu Shaoting entered. She teased him, "What, Joy’s back? You can rest easy now, right? I’ve told you many times, Joy is grown up, she will slowly have her own circle, and you, always worrying unnecessarily. Look at your hair, it has turned much whiter in the past two years."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoting then looked into the mirror somewhat anxiously before saying, "What? Even you are starting to despise me as an old man?"

Gu Shaoting’s voice was somewhat plaintive; his wife wasn’t disdaining him now too, was she?

Shu Pan gave him a look, then continued reading without a word.

Gu Shaoting walked over, pulled away her book, and embraced her tightly, "Answer me, is it true?"

Shu Pan hooked her arm around Gu Shaoting’s neck and said irritably, "Don’t worry, even if you’re an old man, I won’t despise you. Plus, I’m an old lady too."

Gu Shaoting laughed, then pulled Shu Pan into his arms.

The temperature in the room seemed to grow warmer, and the night deepened...
