The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 149: Romance

"I’ll be back as soon as possible, it won’t be long." Chi Yu didn’t want to create difficulties for Yi Shu.

Yi Shu was his agent. If he left, Yi Shu would have to face many, many troublesome matters alone.

"...Then go ahead, be safe on the road, see you at the airport." Yi Shu gave Chi Yu a push, letting him leave first, while he helped pack Chi Yu’s luggage.

Chi Yu nodded, picked up his phone, went downstairs, and drove to the Gu Mansion.

The night was cool as water, the season already nearing September.

Although the Gu Mansion was in the city center, it was adjacent to the CBD, a perfect location offering tranquility amidst the bustling area.

Chi Yu was stopped and parked his car at a corner on the outskirts. Perhaps Gu Yuan had explicitly laid down rules, prohibiting Chi Yu and his car from entering within the Gu Mansion’s grounds.

The weather forecast said it would rain tonight, probably around one or two in the dead of night.

Before the heavy rain arrived, the street lamps suffered as countless water moths swirled around them. Increasing in number, from afar, it resembled a spectacular snowstorm.

Chi Yu propped his hand on the steering wheel, staring at the magnificent scene of moths fluttering around the lamps.

On the sidewalk of the outer area, a couple, walking arm in arm, also noticed the sight of the lamps surrounded by moths.

The boy pulled the girl to walk on the outer edge, shielding her head with his hand: "Be careful, contact with the hairy wings of these water moths can make your skin itch. There are so many of them, surely by morning, the stench will be everywhere."

The girl giggled: "Don’t you find it romantic?"

The boy offered a confident statement: "What’s so romantic about it? There’s no difference between moths to fire and moths to a lamp; they’re just seeking death in either case."

The girl pinched the boy’s waist.

The boy yelped, "Why are you pinching me?"

The girl pointed at the streetlamp: "I think it’s quite romantic. There’s a phrase like... wait, let me think..."

The girl couldn’t remember, so she asked the boy: "Like someone willingly doing something, even at the cost of their life, what’s that line called?"

"That’s called moths to a lamp embrace the fire, spring silkworms weave cocoons binding themselves."

After this, the boy pulled the girl to run: "No more romance, let’s run faster, or we’ll get drenched in the rain and turn you into a little drenched chick."

The girl said: "Then you’d be a big drenched chick."

The couple started running, getting further and further away until their figures couldn’t be seen, and only then did Chi Yu retract his gaze.

"Moths to a lamp..."

Chi Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He laughed because he too had experienced such feelings, but not anymore.

Reaching for his phone, he opened WeChat.

Large raindrops began to fall swiftly. Watching the rainfall grow heavier, it was as if the Milky Way had poured out, those on the road certainly couldn’t take cover in time.

At this moment, Gu Yuan had just finished a bath, her fair skin tender and almost translucent. A blush lingered on her cheeks from the steamy mist of the bathroom as she wiped off body lotion and poured herself a glass of water to drink.

The phone on the cabinet began to vibrate.

She walked over, picked up the phone, and looked—

[Loving You Even in Death] is inviting you to a voice call.

Quan Jin contacting her at this time?

It seemed he was always keen to chat with her at night.

She answered the call.

A ’buzz’ rang out.

First, there was a cacophony of noise from the other side, and Gu Yuan strained to discern that it was the sound of rain, sounding quite heavy. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Gu Yuan spoke first: "Young Master Quan."

There was no immediate response from the other side, a few dozen seconds passed before a voice came: "Miss Gu."

The deep, resonant voice came through the receiver, a sound Gu Yuan was already familiar with.
