Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 536: This is the Gu Sheng from Before

Gu Sheng’s fingers clutching the sketchbook tightened relentlessly, pinching until they throbbed, alternately turning white and red.

"Why do you always linger like a persistent ghost?"

Previously, he had always been Yaoyao’s first choice of subject for her drawings, but after you appeared, for four whole years, she didn’t draw a single portrait of him...

Footsteps halted at the doorway; Gu Sheng turned around to see Gu Yao, standing there with her phone, nervously watching him holding the sketchbook.

Gu Yao tightened her grip on her phone as she looked at the sketchbook in Gu Sheng’s hands.

It was unclear whether it was because that sketchbook evoked unhappy memories or because she was worried that Gu Sheng might lose his temper and tear it up.

A layer of gray gradually veiled the depths of Gu Yao’s eyes.

She really shouldn’t have brought that sketchbook with her.

It wasn’t because Gu Sheng had found it and she feared he might get angry at her. It was because if she had decided to let go of Shangguan Yu, she should have discarded everything related to him.

But... she couldn’t bear to part with it.

That sketchbook contained ninety-nine drawings, each a stroke and sketch filled with a variety of intense emotions, imagining his face as she worked through the nights.

She had thought that one day she would present this sketchbook to Shangguan Yu with heartfelt sincerity in a confession, only to realize in the end that the only one moved was herself.

Initially, she might have kept it as a memento, but now, various thoughts flooded her mind.

She had left the Capital City just one day ago and she was already missing him.

It is really hard to completely forget someone.

Gu Sheng looked at Gu Yao, who stood mute at the doorway, and said nothing as he closed the sketchbook with a neutral motion.

He then set the sketchbook aside and continued to unpack the things from her suitcase.

"Take your clothes and go take a shower; I’ll finish sorting out your things and then step out to buy you some food. You didn’t eat anything on the plane today and must be hungry. Eat and then rest early. You need to report to school tomorrow."

Gu Sheng spoke softly, and in Gu Yao’s eyes, in addition to unfamiliarity and confusion, she also saw a trace of Gu Li.

But what Gu Yao didn’t know was that it wasn’t Gu Li’s influence but the old Gu Sheng.

With none of the anticipated thunderous anger, Gu Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I’ll tidy up myself." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Gu Sheng paused in his packing, placed down what he was holding, and then stood up.

"Then I’ll go get some food and come back."

he said.

This mild-tempered Gu Sheng felt strangely unfamiliar to Gu Yao yet somewhat familiar.

This version of Gu Sheng made Gu Yao feel an illusion, feeling that this Gu Sheng was the real Gu Sheng, and that the temperamental, occasionally insane-acting one was the fake.

As Gu Sheng was about to leave through the door, his phone in his pocket rang.

Seeing that it was Gu Li calling, Gu Sheng slightly furrowed his brows, then glanced at Gu Yao.

Gu Yao somewhat guiltily avoided his gaze, too nervous to meet Gu Sheng’s eyes, and her anxiety surged again.

Gu Sheng’s brows furrowed even more at Gu Yao’s reaction.

It was clear without guessing that after borrowing the phone under the pretext of calling her teacher, she had called Gu Li for help.

Gu Sheng answered the call, greeted, "Big brother."

"Where are you?"

The query, tinged with nervousness and anger, almost made Gu Sheng laugh.

Had he, Gu Sheng, not also been a good person at one time? After being a villain for three or four years and making a few mistakes, was he damned for life?

Was there such a fear that he would harm Yaoyao?

"I’m in the United Kingdom."
