"Call your Shield Bro over to eat." Gu Mengyao hesitated, then said to Shen Yushu.
"He's your Shield Bro, all right? I don't need a shield." Shen Yushu pursed her lips in a half-smile, studying Gu Mengyao as if trying to read something in her face. "Why are you the one calling him over to eat?"
"Then never mind him." Under Shen Yushu's interrogation, Gu Mengyao felt a nervousness she could not explain, and so she said coldly.
"Oh, then I'll go call him." Shen Yushu smiled, stood up, and called to Wei Zhao in the living room: "Shield Bro, come eat."
"You two go ahead. I'll eat after you're done. Mengyao doesn't like me." Wei Zhao gave Shen Yushu a grateful look. This girl really did treat him well — his cooking her noodles that morning had not been wasted after all.
Hearing this, the hand with which Gu Mengyao was picking up food trembled, and a piece of braised chicken fell onto the table... She wanted so badly to cry. It was she who had wanted to call Wei Zhao to eat, yet this fellow took Shen Yushu for the kind soul — and on top of that, said she did not like him. Truly, kindness repaid with a donkey's liver and lungs.
"Sister Yaoyao said..." Shen Yushu had just started to say something more when Gu Mengyao pulled her back.
"Never mind him. Let him starve." Gu Mengyao said hatefully. She really did hate him to death.
"Huh? But Sister Yaoyao, didn't you say to call him over to eat with us? Why are you ignoring him now?" Shen Yushu looked at the gloomy-faced Gu Mengyao, puzzled.
"I changed my mind again." Gu Mengyao gave a humph, hesitated, then said: "Xiaoshu, if you like him, then go call him over."
"Me? But he said you don't like him." Shen Yushu said innocently.
"I..." Gu Mengyao wanted to say, I never said I don't like him. But if she said that, would it not amount to admitting she liked him? Her lips moved, and in the end she said nothing, only: "Let's eat..."
Some time later, if time could be replayed, Gu Mengyao thought, then after Wei Zhao finished that sentence she would certainly have stood up and shouted at him without the slightest hesitation: "I like you, I like you! Come and eat with us."
But time cannot be replayed. It was fated that all this had already happened, and fated that on many moonlit nights to come, Gu Mengyao would hold the corner of a quilt soaked with tears and pass those sleepless nights...
In the instant a meteor streaked across the night sky, Gu Mengyao made her wish. But did wishing really do any good? Gazing at that brilliant starry sky, Gu Mengyao found that at some unknown point, the distance between her and him had grown greater and greater...
Though it seemed within reach, between the two of them lay an impassable gulf — and that gulf she had dug with her own hands...
But at this moment, Gu Mengyao clearly had not yet realized this...
