Chapter 2255 - 13: I Want to Live_2

"Qin Song, do you want to go to the back seat and change out of your wet clothes, otherwise you’ll catch a cold?"

"Qin Song? Qin Song?"

Gu Xiran looked at Qin Song, who kept staring into the distance. The rain outside was pouring down, with such low visibility. This was the outskirts, it was pitch dark outside, and nothing could be seen at all.

"Qin Song, what are you looking at?"

It wasn’t until Gu Xiran raised her hand and gave Qin Song’s shoulder a firm pat that he snapped back to reality, his expression slightly changing.

"Nothing... just not looking at anything..."

Qin Song spoke blandly, then subtly blocked Gu Xiran’s view.

"What did you just say?"

"I said your clothes are wet. Do you want to change them?"

"No need, let’s head back directly."

"But you’ll catch a cold."

"It’s fine, as long as you’re okay."

After saying that, Qin Song swiftly drove toward the city direction. Gu Xiran clearly noticed the man accelerating, her clear eyes widened in surprise.

Why was Qin Song in such a hurry in this heavy rain?

However, the phrase "as long as you’re okay" from the man did not fail to tug at Gu Xiran’s heart. Growing up as childhood friends, over the years, they had long since become like siblings.

Even though when they were young, she often claimed to be his ’big sister’ and bullied Qin Song.

...

Inside the car:

Qin Song gripped the steering wheel in front of him with a heavy expression.

Qin Song... you’re more selfish than you imagined...

Ha...

Qin Song’s lips tightened. If he could possess her just once.

Even if it meant being a little selfish, what would it matter?

Sorry... elder brother...

This time, letting go is harder than ever.

...

Qin Song drove Gu Xiran directly back to his private apartment. Being a rather mischievous character, each time the Qin Family met Qin Song, it was inevitable to scold him a few times, often comparing him to Qin Jin. Though Qin Song knew the Qin Family genuinely cared for him, not intentionally using Qin Jin to pressure him, as he grew older, tired of hearing their constant nagging, Qin Song chose an apartment to live in privately on the outskirts.

He usually lived alone, enjoying his freedom.

So upon returning to the country, Qin Song directly came to this secret base of his own.

Here, he could think about Gu Xiran without restraint...

Moreover, this place was covered with pictures of Gu Xiran, including some stills from her works; in short, everything imaginable was here.

This was Gu Xiran’s first time here, and she was stunned to see the walls densely covered with her photographs.

Moreover... it was surprisingly clean.

This wasn’t at all how she imagined Qin Song.

Gu Xiran didn’t know; this place was a pure land in Qin Song’s heart.

"Qin Song... are you having a fever, burned your brain or something? You usually despise me, yet you have so many photos of me on the wall. Your girlfriends will be jealous."

Standing before the white wall, Gu Xiran gazed at her photographs, the corners of her mouth rising, her beautiful eyes lively, like a fairy from the mortal world.

Hearing the phrase ’your girlfriends’, a fleeting glint of dim light passed through Qin Song’s eyes.

"Mm... this is your birthday gift."

Qin Song did not openly state this was his apartment, instead handing over the keys to Gu Xiran.

"I plastered your photos on the wall to surprise you back then. Don’t be narcissistic, it was purely because you are the birthday star, and the birthday star is the most important. That’s the biggest reason."

"Tch, I knew you were up to no good."

"Don’t ’kid’ me, I’m your elder brother... elder than you..."

Gu Xiran made a funny face, making Qin Song unable to stifle his laughter. Seeing Qin Song in a good mood, Gu Xiran couldn’t help but chuckle softly too, her beautiful eyes shifting to Qin Song at the side as she warmly said, "Alright, go take a shower and change your clothes. As for this gift, I’ll reluctantly accept it, thank you... But you didn’t show up at my birthday party, I’ll hold a grudge for that..."

"Mm."

Gu Xiran nudged Qin Song toward the bathroom, concentrating on admiring her photographs.

Even her own bedroom wasn’t so exaggerated.

Everywhere, there were her photos...

They started from her childhood, from her first stage appearance when she still had chubby cheeks. Gu Xiran couldn’t help but laugh softly.

The apartment wasn’t exceptionally big, compared to a villa it naturally wasn’t, but it was fully equipped with everything needed, with all appliances in place.

In short, ready to move in with just bags...

Though Gu Xiran felt this apartment seemed about one or two years old, apparently Qin Song had bought and furnished it long ago, intending to give it to her as a gift for her eighteenth birthday.
