Chapter 150 The Scorching Sun (49 pages)
At this moment, Yu Boning muttered, "Let's get together again next time."
Gu Yao smiled upon hearing this but did not reply.
Yan Jingying turned to look at the painting on the chair, then turned to look at the slender boy in front of her. "That's a gift he gave you. Keep it safe."
Gu Yao smiled, her eyes filled with tenderness and nostalgia as she looked at the painting. "I will."
Yan Jingying didn't say anything more, but simply helped Yu Boning turn around and walk out.
"Yu Boning, don't move your dog paws around."
"Hey, hey, don't pull my hair! I just got my hair done today!"
As their voices faded into the distance, Gu Yao turned around, picked up the painting leaning against the chair, and returned to his apartment.
Take down the landscape painting on the wall and hang the painting in your hand for him.
Under the dim light of the wall lamp, the dirty-faced boy appeared somewhat holy.
Gu Yao looked at him and couldn't help but reach out to wipe the dirt off the boy's face. But when he reached out, he realized that his hands were also covered in dirt.
Gu Yao curled his fingers, sighed, and withdrew his hand.
Seeing the boy in the painting break free from the mud and embrace the light, Gu Yao smiled.
It's good that he can get out.
But I just... have no strength left.
Gu Yao truly felt a deep weariness rising from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Yao hasn't seen Qi Xuan in the past few days.
He stayed in his apartment and asked his counselor for leave.
However, Qi Xuan was still nowhere to be seen.
Gu Yao looked at the clock on the wall; it had once again passed twelve o'clock, and a new day had begun.
He picked up his phone and called Qi Xuan.
This time, he heard a familiar voice.
She was still so gentle.
"A-Yao, what's wrong?"
Even though it had only been a few days since they last met, Gu Yao felt a sudden stinging in his eyes upon hearing that voice.
Suppressing a sob in his throat, Gu Yao asked softly, "Brother Xuan, are you coming back today?"
The boy's voice was filled with obvious expectation, and it was soft, which softened Qi Xuan's heart as well.
But looking at the several important documents on the table that would be needed tomorrow, he still sighed.
"Ah Yao, I'll go back to be with you tomorrow, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the boy's expectant eyes dimmed, and his knuckles turned white as he gripped the phone.
"Then you go ahead and do your work."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Qi Xuan wanted to say a few more words to Gu Yao, but all she heard was the busy tone of her phone.
He sighed.
The boy seemed genuinely angry.
Qi Xuan was somewhat at a loss, but he couldn't put down what he was doing right now.
Competing with that old fox Qi Jin for resources is no easy task, and he cannot afford to be complacent.
Qi Xuan suppressed his unease and picked up a document.
This is all for the sake of long-term planning.
He wanted to clear away all obstacles as quickly as possible.

Looking at Gu Yao's gloomy face, 0529 felt a little scared.
"Host, don't be sad."
Gu Yao looked at the ball in front of him, which had a worried expression on its face, and smiled.
"I'm not sad."
This is the second time.
0529 looked at Gu Yao and couldn't really tell what was wrong, but she felt that her host's smile was a bit abnormal.
Gu Yao looked at the painting on the wall and seemed to see his own ending.
The person in the painting can break free from the darkness, but he lacks that courage and can only sink into the darkness until he is completely swallowed up.
"Xiao Jiu, tomorrow is the day the original owner committed suicide for the first time, right?"
Before the system could even catch its breath, Gu Yao's words left it unable to catch its breath.
He turned to look at Gu Yao, his eyes filled with an indescribable calm.
Calm in the face of death.
There was not a shred of reverence.
It was as if they didn't care about their lives at all.
"Host, please don't give up."
Before the system could finish speaking, Gu Yao interrupted, "Xiao Jiu, don't look at me like that. Don't worry, you won't die. After all, there's still more than a year left, isn't there?"
0529 looked at Gu Yao, whose pale and handsome face carried a deliberate cynicism that made 0529 feel a bit sluggish while coding.
"Host, if you don't like it, you don't have to smile. You're clearly unhappy, aren't you?"
Gu Yao was stunned. Looking at the system in front of him who was staring blankly, he reached out and grabbed the ball.
"You silly thing, don't think about these things anymore. Anyway, I will definitely help you level up as soon as possible. At this year's Quick Transmigration Bureau annual meeting, you won't be number one in business, but you definitely won't be at the bottom."
0529 rarely put on such a serious expression, but Gu Yao pulled him into his arms and stroked his bald head with his hands.
But seeing that Gu Yao seemed to be in a better mood, the system went silent and muted its microphone.
Although it's a little embarrassing, the messy code can be sorted out, and it's more important that the host is happy.
Gu Yao was typing on the system with one hand and checking messages on his phone with the other.
Yu Boning is going back to school tomorrow, so he can go see him off first.
Outside the airport, the sky was clear and blue.
Gu Yao looked at the well-matched couple in front of him, smiled, and his eyes were filled with obvious envy and satisfaction.
Seeing that Gu Yao was still alone, Yu Boning thought that he still couldn't forget that person.
He had always known that Gu Yao had someone in his heart all these years, someone he had liked for a long time, and he also knew that Gu Yao was a very stubborn person.
However, he still wanted to try to persuade him.
Instead of placing your hopes on a hopeless wait, why not broaden your horizons and try with other people?
Perhaps, I will meet that person who can heal me.
He looked at the boy in front of him, a hint of struggle in his eyes, "Gu Yao, why don't you just stop waiting?"
Gu Yao looked at Yu Boning, who was pondering in front of him, and laughed out loud, "Idiot, I've been waiting for this."
The silly dog was stunned.
"You waited for this?!"
Gu Yao looked at Yu Boning, who was in shock, and found it particularly interesting.
"Yes, I found him a year ago."
Yu Boning immediately realized, "Then I'm slower than you again this time."
Gu Yao looked at the lifeless, silly dog in front of him and laughed arrogantly, "Yes, you'll never have a chance to beat me in your life."
Seeing Gu Yao's smug look, Yu Boning was furious. "Don't be so arrogant. You have a long life ahead of you."
Gu Yao didn't reply, but just looked at Yu Boning and smiled gently.
Yu Boning wanted to say something more, but his teacher urged him to board the plane.
He looked at Gu Yao, pursed his lips, and finally condensed all his words into one sentence: "Take care. Next time I come, you have to treat me."
Gu Yao nodded. "Definitely."
Having received Gu Yao's promise, Yu Boning nodded and turned to leave.
Gu Yao watched Yu Boning's figure disappear at the boarding gate before turning and leaving.
Even if I'm not there, I'll still have Qi Xuan treat you to a meal.
Anyway, he's already one of us.
This doesn't mean I broke my promise.
Stupid dog.
Take care.
