Chapter 104 【Gu Feng, Shall We Sleep Together Tonight?】

As Gu Feng followed the crowd out of the school gate, he was startled to see many students gathered at the entrance, with numerous reporters among them.

One reporter was holding a microphone, interviewing a student: "Could you tell the audience in front of the TV what happened at the time?"

The student seemed caught off guard by the on-the-spot interview, appearing a bit nervous. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke in front of everyone: "At that time, a girl from our school named Lin Jiaying went on stage to sing Zhou Tong's 'Angel.' However, for some reason, she didn't dare to sing after getting on stage and just stood there, looking very lost. Suddenly, Zhou Tong appeared on the stage."

"Wait, what do you mean by 'Zhou Tong suddenly appeared on the stage'?" The reporter, a seasoned entertainment journalist, immediately picked up on the key point in the student's words.

The student was taken aback, thought for a moment, and said, "At that time, the audience was mocking Lin Jiaying, and everyone's attention was on her. No one noticed Zhou Tong until she was already on stage."

"And then?" the reporter asked.

Recalling the scene, the student grew somewhat indignant: "Originally, when we saw Zhou Tong appear, we thought she was going to sing the song. However, Zhou Tong only sang the opening lines, and the rest was sung by the girl named Lin Jiaying!"

"Zhou Tong only sang four lines?" The entertainment reporter was shocked. In his view, as a leading figure in the entertainment industry, Zhou Tong would naturally be the main focus if she took the stage—why would she only sing four lines?

However, the male student was completely lost in his memories, entirely missing the surprise in the reporter's tone, and continued: "You have no idea, that girl named Lin Jiaying sang incredibly well! Although her voice wasn't as pleasant as Zhou Tong's, she sang with such emotion that it gave people a really special vibe..."

After listening to the student's account, the reporter ended the interview, simultaneously remembering the name Lin Jiaying. He broke into a wide grin as he already came up with a sensational gossip headline: "Campus New Star vs. Sweet Song Queen?"

Thinking about this gossip appearing on the front page of the entertainment section tomorrow, he couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear.

When Gu Feng arrived at the phone booth near Zifeng Middle School, he didn't see Lin Jiaying anywhere.

This made Gu Feng frown.

Just as he took out his phone to call Lin Jiaying, the door of a taxi parked next to the phone booth was pushed open. Inside the car, Lin Jiaying waved to Gu Feng and said, "Gu Feng, over here."

Originally, Gu Feng had thought something had happened to Lin Jiaying, but seeing her, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After getting into the car, Gu Feng instinctively said to the driver, "Mingzhu Apartments."

"Alright," the driver replied, starting the car immediately.

At the same time, Lin Jiaying instinctively wrapped her arms around Gu Feng's arm, burying her head in his chest, and said, "Gu Feng, thank you!"

Clearly, Lin Jiaying knew that Zhou Tong's appearance was related to Gu Feng.

Lin Jiaying was still wearing her performance outfit, which was made of a thin layer of gauze. Pressed against Gu Feng, it allowed him to clearly feel the warmth of her body.

Smelling the faint fragrance on Lin Jiaying, Gu Feng couldn't help but recall what had happened earlier in the office with Zhou Tong. With a somewhat strange expression, he said, "No need to thank me; you sang beautifully yourself."

Hearing Gu Feng's words, Lin Jiaying lifted her head and gazed deeply at him, saying word by word, "No! Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to sing a single line on stage today. When I first went on stage, my mind went completely blank; I had no idea what I was supposed to do..."

Recalling the situation at the time, Lin Jiaying's voice carried a hint of tears, and her expression was filled with grievance.

Gu Feng gently stroked Lin Jiaying's head and said, "Jia Ying, everyone faces difficulties. Being able to overcome them when they arise is already more than enough. Also, don't dwell on past failures; you've succeeded now."

Lin Jiaying nodded emphatically.

After that, Lin Jiaying remained silent for the rest of the journey. She simply lay quietly in Gu Feng's arms, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

By the time the taxi arrived at Mingzhu Apartments, Lin Jiaying had actually fallen asleep in Gu Feng's arms.

Clearly, she had put a lot of effort into today's performance, and the twists and turns of the event had exhausted all her energy.

After paying the fare, Gu Feng made a gesture for silence to the driver, then gently picked up Lin Jiaying and stepped out of the car.

When they reached the door of their home, Gu Feng held Lin Jiaying in one arm while using his other hand to take out the keys, ready to unlock the door.

At that moment, Lin Jiaying woke up.

"You're awake," Gu Feng smiled, setting Lin Jiaying down, then pushing the door open and saying, "Go on in."

Once inside, Lin Jiaying rubbed her sleepy eyes and quickly became much more awake. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you carry me all the way up?"

"You fell asleep in the car, and since you were sleeping so soundly, I didn't wake you," Gu Feng replied with a smile.

Gu Feng's words struck a chord in Lin Jiaying's heart. Looking at his strong face, Lin Jiaying felt her heart filled with a feeling she could only call happiness.

"Are you going to take a shower before going to bed, or go straight to sleep?" Gu Feng asked with a smile.

Lin Jiaying thought for a moment and said, "I'd better take a shower first; I'm all sweaty."

After that, Lin Jiaying went to the bathroom alone to take a shower, while Gu Feng made himself a cup of tea and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

"Gu Feng, could you get me my... underwear?" Lin Jiaying's voice came from the bathroom, very soft and tinged with an unmistakable shyness.

Gu Feng, who had been drinking tea, nearly spat it out upon hearing Lin Jiaying's words.

"Where did you put it?" Gu Feng shook his head slightly, pushing aside any distracting thoughts.

"In my bedroom; I forgot to bring it in earlier..." Lin Jiaying still spoke in a very small voice.

Gu Feng said "Oh," walked a few steps to Lin Jiaying's bedroom, and immediately saw a pair of white underwear on the cartoon-print bed, embroidered with a cartoon image.

With a strange expression, Gu Feng picked up the cartoon underwear, went to the bathroom door, and said, "I'm at the door. Open it a crack, and I'll hand it to you."

Mentioning the word "crack" reminded Gu Feng of the earlier incident involving a "crack," and his expression turned rather odd.

"Okay," Lin Jiaying softly replied from inside the bathroom. She opened the door a crack, reached out her small hand, quickly grabbed the underwear, and then closed the door again.

About two minutes later, Lin Jiaying walked out wearing a white bath towel. Since the towel was a bit short, her slender, fair legs were exposed to the air. Her face was slightly flushed, and her hair was still wet.

"I'm done; you can go shower now," Lin Jiaying said to Gu Feng while drying her hair with a towel.

Gu Feng nodded lightly and then went into the bathroom.

Perhaps because men tend to shower quickly, Gu Feng finished much faster compared to Lin Jiaying.

When Gu Feng came out to the living room wearing a bath towel, he was surprised to find that Lin Jiaying hadn't gone to bed. Instead, she was half-lying on the sofa, propping up her chin with her hand, lost in thought.

Due to Lin Jiaying's casual reclining posture, Gu Feng caught a glimpse of the white underwear with just a glance.

Immediately feeling somewhat awkward, Gu Feng quickly averted his gaze and asked, "Why aren't you going to bed yet?"

"Gu Feng, shall we sleep together tonight?" Lin Jiaying sat up, lowered her head, and asked softly while fiddling with the bath towel.
