Waiting.
Ko Chen only replies in one word “cat”, but it is enough to express his attitude. Since they want to play, the terminator of the game can only be him. As time goes by, there is no news from the planning department, and Gu Yi does not see any flaws in the monitoring. And he, who has always been calm, begins to feel more and more upset.
It is going to be dark soon. Tapping on the desk with his fingers, Gu Yi writes down several names on the paper, and asks the personnel department to find out their resumes. After reading them carefully for several times, he writes a few names on the paper and erases them, leaving only two.
In fact, Gu Yi doesn’t care to dismiss both of them, but that is tantamount to admitting defeat. As a man, he knows that this is the challenge that Ko Chen has posed to him. The other side has no action until now, that is to say, he’s determined that he can’t find out the leaker.
After straightening out his thinking, Gu Yi calms down and stares at the two names on the paper for a long time. Until the secretary comes in and asks if he would inform all the staff to work overtime, Gu Yi calmly takes back his sight. He glances at the surveillance screen which has not been closed and the owners of the two names are on the screen.
Zhang Le, who graduated from a famous university, won numerous awards in university. It can be said that his resume is perfect. He usually wears thick black frame glasses and doesn’t communicate with people often; Wang Hui, a senior of Gu’s company, has worked in the company for many years. He is sophisticated and slick.
In this way, both of them are likely to leak the secrets. Gu Yi finally takes a deep look at them, turns off the computer screen, grabs the suit coat on the office chair, strides out of the office, and waves to the secretary: “No, let’s get off work.”
There is a party in the evening but Gu Yi is not in the mood to attend it. He simply asks the secretary to postpone it. Sitting in the car and leaning against the seat, he closes his eyes and wants to have a rest. The driver looks at him carefully in the rear-view mirror, and he doesn’t start the car. “Why don’t you drive?” Gu Yi doesn’t open eyes, asking unmoved, which makes the driver shiver.
He just heard about what happened to Gu’s company when he was waiting. And also he heard many people say that Mr Gu was in a bad mood today. Naturally, he should be more careful than usual, for fear that he might lose his job if he doesn’t pay attention. Daring not to stay any longer, the driver quickly starts the car. After driving a short while, he asks carefully: “Mr Gu, are you going home or not?”
Gu Yi rubs his temples and slowly opens his eyes. Out of the window he sees the city’s bright and colorful silhouettes. Gu Yi’s eyes reflect colorful neon and he suddenly has an idea. At this moment, he especially wants to see Yu Fei. “Go home.” Getting the order, the driver steps on the accelerator to speed up, and the black car roars past under the cover of the night.
Gu Yi opens the door and it’s dark inside. There is no sound and he feels nervous suddenly. Is Yu Fei gone again? Even without taking off his shoes, Gu Yi turns on the light and hurries into the room. He stops at the moment when he sees Yu Fei on the sofa. He doesn’t even think about it carefully and he spontaneously and unconsciously walks to Yu Fei in a gentle manner.
The woman is lying on the sofa on her side, with her small face on the back of her hand, and a small and delicate nose is breathing gently from time to time. Gu Yi squats down as if he were bewitched. The woman sleeps soundly and doesn’t notice his coming at all. Gu Yi can’t help but marvel at the touch under the palm of his hand when he unconsciously caresses Yu Fei’s hair. The woman’s hair is soft and thin, which feels like touching pet hair.
Over the years, many women have expressed or implied their love for him. What’s more, there are women who try all ways to sleep with him. Gu Yi has tried to accept it. However, he always recalls the Yu Fei of college years at the last moment.
The woman with black hair and a book in her arms became a beam of white moonlight in his heart, which could never be forgotten. But now, though the woman he has loved for so many years is in front of him, Gu Yi hesitates. He looks at Yu Fei’s face. Somehow, he feels strange.
Gu Yi is in a trance. He wonders that he persists is because he loves her or because the man Yu Fei married three years ago is his long-term business rival, Ko Chen. The touch under his hand is real. Gu Yi just stares at Yu Fei like that and has no other action. Maybe she has been gazed for a long time, Yu Fei suddenly inhales her nose and opens her eyes without any sign.
They look at each other silently for several seconds, and Gu Yi reacts first. He quickly takes back his hand, stands up and steps back a little, with a usual gentle smile on his face. Yu Fei just opens her eyes and doesn’t wake up. After preparing for a long time, she finally comes back to herself. She sits up and raises her hand to feel the temperature on her forehead. It is not very hot and she thinks she has recovered.
Seeing this action, Gu Yi immediately becomes nervous, takes a big step forward, and hurriedly asks, “you have a fever?” Yu Fei is frightened by his nervous posture, nodding and shaking her head. Gu Yi is more worried because of her stupidity. Without saying anything, he picks up the woman from the sofa and walks towards the door.
Yu Fei only feels a whirl in front of her eyes. When her mind comes back, Gu Yi has already stood at the door with her in her arms and there is only one step away from the door. She shouts in a hurry to stop the next move of the man.
“Wait! Where are you going? ” Gu Yi doesn’t even look at her, but says seriously, “hospital.” On hearing that, Yu Fei immediately struggles. She doesn’t know how many times she has gone to the hospital in such a short time, which makes her feel sick when she smells the disinfectant. “Let me down, I’m fine!” Yu Fei’s struggle makes Gu Yi hold her tighter in a hurry. If she falls down accidentally, the consequences will be unimaginable.
“Be obedient,” Gu Yi tries to soothe Yu Fei with a soft voice. “You are pregnant now. A fever is not a small case. You must go to hospital. What can you do in case it affects the baby?” Realizing that Gu Yi is really making a fuss, Yu Fei hurriedly explains: “I was sick a little during the day, but now I’m completely OK. If you don’t believe me, just test my temperature, I’m really fine.” Yu Fei wants to hold Gu Yi’s hand and puts it on her forehead. However, the man is holding her so she can’t draw out a hand at all.
At last, Gu Yi still can not resist Yu Fei’s repeated explanations, so he has to make a concession and promises not to go to the hospital first, but he needs to take a thermometer to take a test and makes sure she is healthy. If not, she has to go to the hospital.
