After traveling back, I became a group favorite

Chapter 201 201. Happy Birthday

In the garden of the Gu residence, accompanied by the breeze and the bright moon, a man stood downstairs, looking at Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu suddenly felt a touch in his heart, and his heart was blessed.

Before she could react, her legs had already taken the lead and ran downstairs.

When she ran downstairs as fast as she could in her life, panting and holding on to her knees, she was looking at the man in front of her.

Wen Ling sighed lightly. Under the moonlight, his figure looked so thin, but he still took off his coat on his own initiative, and came to Gu Qingjiu in two or three steps, and put it on for him.

Gu Qingjiu was about to speak, but there were too many thoughts in her mind, and she didn't know which one to say first.

Should I ask why he came now, or should I apologize for the harsh words I said to him at the restaurant?

But before she could figure it out, she heard Wen Ling say:
"Happy birthday, Qing Jiu."

"Did the party... have a good time?"

His soft voice was slightly hoarse, like a breeze blowing slowly at night, Gu Qingjiu opened his mouth, and finally nodded:

"Ah."

The conversation between the two men seemed to be lapsed into an awkward silence.

Finally, his voice came again:
"I couldn't make it to your birthday party...I'm sorry."

His words were full of apology.

Gu Qingjiu raised her head in a panic and shook her head violently.

How could it be his fault?It was she who initiated the breakup.

It was she who said that after Joe went abroad, their relationship would be dissolved automatically, and they would never see each other again.

From the beginning to the end, she has been using Wen Ling.

But instead of being angry, he was willing to celebrate her birthday...

Gu Qingjiu has never felt so guilty towards anyone.

Except Wen Ling.

"Wen Ling, it's not your fault." Gu Qingjiu lowered her head guiltily:

"Just, don't come near me anymore."

Wen Ling was not supposed to be a character in the book.

Gu Qingjiu cried out in her heart:

"Wen Ling, stop trying to get close to me."

"I'm afraid I'll drag you into this storm that shouldn't have anything to do with you."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back... my heartbeat for you."

Fate is a very strange thing.

Gu Qingjiu has gone to this point and has completely changed the original novel.

She didn't fall in love with the hero of the original text as described in the established book.

But it also opened up my horizons, found my own way of life, and met a group of new friends.

But only Wen Ling, only when he was close to her, Gu Qingjiu would always unconsciously want to avoid him.

Her relationships with other people are more or less based on mutual help.

But only Wen Ling, no matter how many times he appeared on stage, seemed to be based on purely helping Gu Qingjiu.

He is so good, so good, so good that Gu Qingjiu thinks he has nothing to repay.

Or maybe it was because of his face, he looked so much alike, this feeling made Gu Qingjiu flustered.

She was afraid of losing again and parting again.

So, she chose to push him away.

But unexpectedly, this time, Wen Ling seemed to agree with her words.

He just smiled calmly, looking at Gu Qingjiu's eyes neither sad nor happy:
"it is good."

As if she didn't expect the other party to agree so simply, Gu Qingjiu stared at him with wide eyes. Although she was a little surprised, she didn't say anything after all.

It's just that she didn't know at the time that this might be the last time Wen Ling saw her again.

If she knew at the time that this would happen in the future, she would definitely choose to express her heart to the other party.

Unfortunately, no if.

Wen Ling looked at the girl in front of her in a daze because of her words, and her smile became brighter and brighter:

"Just, tonight, can you fulfill my three wishes?"

Gu Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Because she remembered, it seemed that from the time she knew Wen Ling to now, the other party had helped her just three times.

The first time, on the highway, I saved myself who was almost hit by a car.

The second time, at a class reunion, he pretended to be her dance partner to help her out.

The third time, in order to avoid Joe's entanglement, she pretended to be her boyfriend.

Gu Qingjiu has never been a person who owes favors, so of course she responded straight away:
"Okay, you say."

Seeing her agreeing so readily, Wen Ling smiled happily:
"Then the first wish is—"

Before Gu Qingjiu could react, Wen Ling took Gu Qingjiu's hand with one hand, wrapped her arms around her waist with the other, and whispered in her ear:

"Can you dance with me?"

……

On the lawn, the two danced lightly.

The moon seemed to sense their presence, casting soft and bright moonlight at just the right time, covering them.

The two twirled, with the whistling evening wind in their ears, as if they were playing music for their dance steps.

Gu Qingjiu suddenly remembered that it seemed that the first time he met him was also under such circumstances.

The sound of wind and falling leaves sweeping the ground came from my ears.

Under the light, Wen Ling's handsome and soft side face was struck by the light as a dividing line between light and dark.

As the two spun, she remembered the second time they met, on that dance floor, they also spun in the middle of the dance floor like this.

The two of them cooperate intimately, their movements are seamless, they look like a perfect couple.

I don't know how long they danced, but in the end, the dance stopped abruptly with the coat off Gu Qingjiu's shoulders.

Wen Ling picked up the coat from the grass, shook off the dust, and put it on Gu Qingjiu's shoulders again tirelessly.

Gu Qingjiu's breathing was still uneven, she raised her head and asked him:

"What's the second wish?"

This time, Wen Ling just lowered his head and smiled, without speaking, but moved his head closer to Gu Qingjiu.

Seeing the gradually shortening distance between the two, Gu Qingjiu seemed to have reacted. She wanted to hide subconsciously, but then remembered that this was what she had promised to grant to the other party, so she closed her eyes tightly and bit her tongue. Dead lips do not let go.

It's just that unexpectedly, the imaginary kiss didn't land on her lips.

After her forehead became warm, Gu Qingjiu seemed to have gone through a lot of difficulties before she suddenly opened her eyes, but her face turned red:
"You...what are you doing?"

Wen Ling smiled noncommittally:

"This is my second wish."

It seems that he did not expect his second wish to be so simple, Gu Qingjiu was still very shocked by this.

But thinking about it carefully, his first two wishes were so casual, Gu Qingjiu didn't think that these two wishes could be equated with him doing her a favor, and even frowned a little angrily:
"Then you should think about your third wish, think about it carefully."

It can no longer be as random as the first two wishes.
