Chapter 351: "I'm Fine Now."
Gu Kuangen chuckled. "I'm a little tired! Can we continue tomorrow?"
"You're really bad! Then get some rest!"
A sweet, smug smile appeared on his face.
"Well, good night, baby!"
"Good night!"
Everything was quiet in the darkness. Gu Kuangen's eyes were closed, as if he were listening to the sounds of the night.
To Shi Caining, it was as if a century had passed.
Time was like needles that took turns stabbing her heart, almost stopping her breathing.
She finally endured till the horizon spat out fish maw white and the birds were singing happily outside. However, she finally could not endure any longer and fell asleep with her eyelids heavy.
When she woke up, she realized that it was already 8:30 in the morning.
Shi Caining hurriedly got up and her head was heavy. She sat there in a daze and the scene from last night appeared in front of her eyes like a movie.
Her eyes were bitter and painful. She no longer had any tears today.
Her phone was switched off, and Shi Caining picked it up. The cold touch made her eyes even more gloomy.
After she switched on her phone, Wechat messages and other messages kept appearing. After all, many people had seen yesterday's live broadcast, right?
Liu Yao, Shi Qianyu, Bai Ziting, and the others were bombarding her with messages and Wechat messages.
Shi Caining was not in the mood to respond to them one by one. She only sent two words in the Wechat circle: I'm fine.
Her new number was filled with people she could trust. Hence, after she posted on Weibo, all she could do was leave comforting messages.
Her phone buzzed. It was a call from Bai Ziting.
Shi Caining swallowed her saliva. Her mouth was dry and her throat was still sore. After hesitating for a while, she finally picked up the phone.
"Caining, you... do you want to come over to my side to accompany Xiao Yin?" the actor asked in a low voice. He did not directly ask her if she was fine, but asked her if she wanted to go over.
Shi Caining's nose started to sour again. At a time like this, wasn't she the one he was most worried about?
"There's no need... I'm fine now," Shi Caining said. Her voice still had a thick nasal tone. A normal person would know that she had cried when they heard it.
Bai Ziting was silent for a while. "I saw the live broadcast yesterday. Caining, since he treated you like this, you shouldn't stay there. For matters like feelings, it's best to cut through the mess quickly."
Shi Caining bit her lip. Her heart was stinging. She looked out the window. It was gray outside and looked like it was going to rain.
"Yes, I know."
"Where are you going? Home?"
"I have plans. Thank you for your concern."
"Caining, are you going to be so polite with me? I'd rather you..." Bai Ziting paused for a moment. He couldn't say anything.
"Brother Bai, I know how to take care of myself. I'll hang up now." Shi Caining couldn't bear to continue. She was afraid that she would burst into tears. After hanging up, she turned off her phone and didn't answer any other calls.
She got up and changed her clothes. She packed a few clothes and stuffed them into her suitcase. After brushing her teeth, she carried her bag and dragged her suitcase downstairs.
There was no sound from the next room. They had probably left a long time ago.
Her footsteps were numb and heavy. Downstairs, Lan Yu stood up and looked at the suitcase in her hand. He moved his lips but did not say anything in the end.
Shi Caining walked out silently while Lan Yu followed behind her silently.
She turned to look at him. "Now... you don't have to protect me, do you?"
Lan Yu clenched his fists and looked at her sympathetically. "Miss Shi, don't be so sad...."
"Now... you should be protecting that woman named Xiaochun, right?" Shi Caining's voice was hoarse, and she laughed self-mockingly. "You know what? I haven't slept for almost an entire night. I can't figure out why he would do this."
