Chapter 149 The Scorching Sun (48 pages)
Yu Boning looked at Gu Yao, and the two stared at each other silently across half a table.
One wanted a promise, the other didn't want to lie.
The atmosphere became tense and awkward.
It was Yan Jingying, who noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two, who broke the silence, saying, "Yu Boning, you haven't introduced this person to me yet."
Gu Yao also realized what was happening, and gave a gentle smile, tinged with a hint of teasing, "Yes, you haven't introduced this beautiful and gentle lady to me yet."
Yu Boning concealed the disappointment in his eyes; how could he not see that the two were trying to change the subject?
But he knew Gu Yao; Gu Yao was not someone who made promises easily.
A gentleman keeps his promises.
They've known each other for so many years, and Gu Yao has never broken a promise he made.
That's why he wanted a promise.
A promise that would allow Gu Yao to hold onto him even if he were halfway off a cliff in the future.
A promise that would put his mind at ease.
However, Gu Yao remained stubborn.
They don't even despise deception.
Stubborn.
Yu Boning cursed inwardly. The two people on the other end were waiting for his response.
After all, Yu Boning was the link between the three of them.
Yu Boning lowered her eyes, wiped away her tears, looked up at Gu Yao and smiled, "You should have heard of him, this is Gu Yao, my best friend."
After saying that, he turned to look at Yan Jingying, his eyes filled with both disdain and tenderness, "This is my girlfriend, Yan Jingying, whom I just got together the day before yesterday."
Yan Jingying looked at Yu Boning's slightly disgusted expression and suppressed her urge to punch him.
The fist is hard.
But there were other people present.
But when he saw Yu Boning's red-rimmed eyes, his anger dissipated instantly.
Considering how pitiful he is today, let's... let him go.
Yan Jingying turned to look at Gu Yao. His handsome but pale face showed an inescapable weariness. She smiled, stood up, and bent down slightly to Gu Yao, extending her hand. "Hello, I am Yan Jingying, this silly dog's girlfriend."
Gu Yao smiled when he heard the girl address Yu Boning.
"Hello, I'm Gu Yao, this silly dog's best friend."
Seeing the two of them with one silly dog on each side, Yu Boning's temples throbbed with anger.
"Who are you calling a stupid dog? I'm very smart, okay? You're insulting a great painter. Standing in front of you now is the future. Although I'm only a little famous now, I will definitely become one of the top painters of our time."
Yu Boning's face carried an indescribable confidence and arrogance.
It remains as sincere and passionate as ever.
Gu Yao smiled and looked at Yu Boning earnestly, saying, "Yes, you will definitely become a top painter of our time."
Such a pure and gentle person deserves to be blessed by heaven.
Under Gu Yao's serious gaze and hearing this rare praise, Yu Boning felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The smug look on his face faded, and he became embarrassed to shout anymore. He lowered his head, touched his nose, and couldn't help but smile, "No, not really. I'm still a long way from that goal."
Gu Yao smiled but didn't say anything.
The waiter also entered the private room to serve the dishes. Yu Boning looked at the bright red dishes on the table and waved to Gu Yao, "Eat quickly, I've been looking at this restaurant for a long time, the taste should be pretty good."
Gu Yao nodded.
Perhaps because it had been so long since they last met, Yu Boning was probably too happy and felt like he was back in the game, so he ordered a bottle of wine.
White.
After a couple of drinks, a blush rose on her fair face, and her eyes began to dart around.
He started to slur his speech.
Gu Yao sensed something was wrong after Gu Yao had drunk two glasses of wine.
Seeing Yu Boning pitifully clutching his sleeve, Gu Yao sighed slightly.
As Yu Boning began to recall their "glorious deeds," he listened.
Gu Yao listened to Yu Boning recount his "dark history" and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He really wants to shut him up with food right now.
But seeing the joy on Yu Boning's face, he sighed slightly.
I listened quietly to him finish speaking, only occasionally offering a sarcastic remark.
Yan Jingying was speechless as she listened to Yu Boning's self-disclosure.
When Yu Boning told her these things before, he said that Gu Yao had instigated him, but now he's revealed it all.
How can there be such a stupid person?
Yu Boning secretly opened a crack in her eyes to peek at Gu Yao's expression, and saw that the face that originally carried a hint of fake happiness now showed a genuine disdain.
I felt a sense of relief.
At least Gu Yao still has some popularity.
He still remembered the time when Gu Yao's father passed away and he contacted him; at that moment, he was truly in a daze.
It felt like the sky had fallen.
He wanted to call him eight hundred times a day, fearing that Gu Yao wouldn't be able to hold on and would be gone.
But Gu Yao pulled through.
The situation afterward wasn't exactly good.
At least I'm trying to live.
Now, you can no longer see that desire to live in him.
Has something happened again?
He had always known that Gu Yao's mother was in poor health. Could it be that something had happened to Gu Yao's mother?
Yu Boning had a vague idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to reopen old wounds. He could only rack his brains for something funny to try and make Gu Yao happy.
Gu Yao looked at Yu Boning, who couldn't even fake it properly, and smiled.
What a silly dog.
Yu Boning got more and more carried away as he talked, and downed two more glasses of wine.
Gu Yao couldn't stop him. Watching Yu Boning nod his head repeatedly, he knew that this silly boy was truly drunk this time.
They've all been marinated thoroughly.
Yan Jingying sighed helplessly, looking at Yu Boning who was about to pounce on Gu Yao, and she didn't care about her image anymore.
He stepped forward, grabbed Yu Boning by the collar, lifted him up, and walked out.
Gu Yao watched as he effortlessly scooped up Yu Boning, a slender girl who was over 1.8 meters tall.
silent.
Is this what girls are like?
Yan Jingying supported Yu Shagou's head with one hand, picked up her bag with the other, and looked at Gu Yao with some apology in her eyes, "I'm sorry, he was a bit too unruly today."
Gu Yao shook his head.
Yan Jingying looked at Gu Yao, pursed her lips, glanced at the painting still leaning against the chair, and sighed, saying, "Although I don't know what happened, that painting was something this idiot spent a long time working on. Every stroke was made with utmost focus, so please, don't make him sad, okay?"
Gu Yao looked at the painting and met the eyes of the person in it. They had the same brown eyes, but one was lifeless, while the other held a longing for light.
He looked at the girl in front of him and shook his head firmly. "I probably can't do it."
The girl looked at Gu Yao. The boy's thin figure stood as straight as a pine tree, but his brown eyes had lost their vitality.
What do such beautiful eyes look like when they are filled with starlight?
The girl didn't know, and she never had the chance to find out.
She knew the answer simply by looking into the calm and determination in the boy's brown eyes.
Yan Jingying lowered her eyes and said nothing more.
