CHAPTER 316: CHAPTER 314: I’LL FLY WITH YOU

Qiao Qiqi grew more and more uneasy the more she thought about it. Since she was on vacation anyway, she simply took out her phone and booked a ticket to the location where her brother was filming.

If her brother was not working with Meng Qingqing, that would be fine. But now, since her brother was filming a variety show with her, she really couldn’t feel at ease.

The next day, before dawn, Qiao Qiqi had the driver take her to the airport.

Just as she was waiting in the lounge, a cup of coffee was placed in front of her. Qiao Qiqi lifted her head from her phone and saw a familiar face.

Gu Shili sat across from her, "Surprised to see me?"

"Gu Cheng said you were busy recently, why are you here?" Qiao Qiqi was indeed quite surprised; Gu Shili hadn’t been at school, and she’d asked Gu Cheng but hadn’t received a definite answer.

"Just flew back, heard you were here and came over." Gu Shili placed another dessert down.

"Will you be going home later?" Qiao Qiqi was feeling a little hungry now, so she picked up the small spoon and tasted the dessert he brought—it tasted good.

"I’m flying with you," Gu Shili said.

"You’re flying with me? Are you going to the Capital City too?"

"Yeah, there’s a bit of business to handle there, perfect to go with you," Gu Shili smiled.

"Oh, in that case, we might not sit together. I’ve already picked up my boarding pass." Qiao Qiqi raised the boarding pass beside her.

"I’ve upgraded you to first class." Gu Shili also sat down and took a sip of coffee.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

"By the way, my business is done, Gu Cheng doesn’t need to handle anything for me anymore, he should help you instead."

"No need, since I’ve had him follow you, he’s yours. If you don’t need him, then he’s without value." Gu Shili looked at her seriously.

"But... if Gu Cheng heard this, he’d certainly be hurt." Qiao Qiqi thought this was somewhat improper, feeling that Gu Cheng wasn’t willing to follow her, even though she really needed a reliable person to help her.

"He’s yours, so you decide whether he stays or goes." Gu Shili was adamant.

What more could Qiao Qiqi say?

Their seats were adjacent; once on the plane, Qiao Qiqi planned to sleep. She’d hardly slept the previous night, worried that her brother might be harmed by Meng Qingqing.

The moment she saw Gu Shili, she suddenly felt much more at ease. Not long after leaning against the seat, she fell asleep.

Gu Shili carefully took the nearby blanket and draped it over her, his gaze lingering on her delicate, fair face, reluctant to look away. Her long eyelashes resembled small brushes and were very cute, her nose was elegantly raised, and her rosy lips exuded an alluring glow.

He suddenly recalled that unexpected kiss between them; his Adam’s apple quietly rolled a few times, and just as he was about to touch her, Qiao Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes.

She gazed at the young man in front of her, bewildered, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Shili’s breath caught; he didn’t expect to get caught red-handed. But her eyes were clear, without a trace of impurity, completely unaware of his thoughts.

"Just helping you with the blanket, wanted to pull it higher," Gu Shili came up with an excuse, retreating.

"Then I’ll sleep." Qiao Qiqi said, then closed her eyes again, without questioning his excuse.

Gu Shili raised his hand to close the sunshade, turned back, and watched the girl resting with her eyes closed. He returned to his seat.
