The distance between them was so close that they could hear each other's breathing. In the darkness, she could clearly hear Gu Xingye's heartbeat getting faster and faster.

He slowly raised his hand, and just when he was about to touch her cheek, Shen Shu's delicate lips curled up calmly: "You will regret it."

"I will regret it if I don't fall in love with you."

He paused for a moment as he raised his hand, and the young boy's clear voice became a little hoarse with nervousness.

Seeing the tall silhouette moving towards him from the sofa, Shen Shu closed his eyes helplessly, thinking to himself, don't blame me for not reminding you just now.

Gu Xingye obviously heard the footsteps coming from behind him. He did this to openly provoke the silver-haired man, so he did not look panicked at all.

"I will regret it if I don't stop you." Xu Heqing raised his hand and placed it on Gu Xingye's shoulder, and took over his words in a teasing and well-balanced tone.

Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Xingye's whole body froze and his rapidly beating heart sank instantly, as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head.

He turned around and looked at the person who came. Through the faint light from the window, he met the iconic pair of peach blossom eyes.

Gu Xingye's pupils shrank in shock, "Mr. Xu...Mr. Xu!"

This was the first time Shen Shu had seen him lose his composure like this. But thinking about it, it was normal. Meeting the boss whom you may not meet once in your life without any preparation at a classmate's house was unbelievable to anyone.

"Yeah." Xu Heqing responded coldly, looked down at the bouquet of roses at the entrance, his face not looking very good.

Gu Xingye's brain was still in a state of shutdown at this moment. He looked at the elegant and noble man behind him, then at the girl in school uniform in front of him with a casual smile on her face. He opened his mouth several times and seemed to want to say something but stopped, not knowing how to start.

Shen Shu wisely stepped away to get a candle, and before leaving he lit one in the living room, leaving enough space for the two to talk.

To be honest, she was a little embarrassed to be caught by Xu Heqing. But in his eyes, she was just a student in adolescence, so it didn't seem so embarrassing.

When she returned to the party with the candle, everyone was sitting in a circle chatting.

"Why did you come back alone?" Chu Qingqing asked puzzledly.

"He... met a friend downstairs, so let's just have some fun and ignore him. What were you guys talking about just now?"

Shen Shu took out a lighter, lit a few candles and placed them on the coffee table, then sat between Xia Siyu and Chu Qingqing.

"We were talking about the National Day Gala, and I just found out that this is not an event within our school, but a joint event organized by all the high schools in Zhengzhou!"

"First, we will have a competition within our school to select the program, and then submit it to the city. On the day of the final performance, we will go to Zhengzhou TV station to record it."

Xia Siyu only found out about this after listening to Chu Qingqing and Lu Bai's explanation. However, she and Du Mengyun signed up for the crosstalk just for fun, and they also knew that the probability of being selected for this type of program was not high.

"Brother, have you signed up?" Jin Yuhao

"I didn't sign up, but I'll applaud you from the audience later." Shen Shu supported his chin with one hand and shrugged calmly.

At this time in her previous life, she was studying at the Second High School in Qi County, and she knew that this year's National Day Gala was particularly grand. She still remembered that on the day of the gala, a studio was set up in the school, and they watched the National Day gala broadcast live by Zhengzhou TV together.

Shen Shu remembered the scene of her holding a workbook and doing exercises in the noisy environment of the studio. Some classmates around her kept praising the wonderful show, while others sighed why the county's second high school did not hold the show, which made them lose the opportunity to perform on stage.

"No, you're such a great capoeira dancer, you'll definitely be selected. Give those people from No. 1 Middle School and Experimental Middle School a little shock!" Chu Qingqing showed her admiring look with starry eyes, and she could even imagine the scene of the whole audience cheering.

Shen Shu raised his arms and embraced Xia Siyu and Chu Qingqing on his left and right sides: "What programs have you all signed up for?"

"Qingqing and I are going to be co-hosts at a TV station, so we didn't sign up."

As soon as Jin Yuhao said this, everyone started to tease and make fun of him, making the two of them blush instantly.

Shen Shu raised her eyebrows. In her previous life, she was so focused on doing her homework that she didn't even watch the performance. She didn't expect that the two of them were the hosts.

"I joined the student union and I have to do logistics work but I haven't reported it yet."

He Qianqian pursed her lips and glanced at Lu Bai in front of her unconsciously.

She had been following his footsteps since junior high school, and knowing that he often performed on stage, she willingly did the logistics to prepare everything for him.

She also understood that he might never see her, but as long as she could do something for him, she would be content.

"I signed up for piano solo, and I heard from Gu Xingye that he signed up for fingerstyle guitar." Lu Bai took a sip of the fruit wine in his hand, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

Ye Huaichuan remained silent and did not respond. Except for Shen Shu, everyone else went to the same junior high school as him. They knew that he was the president of the student union, and he was always the busiest person whenever the school held an event.

Although I've been promoted to high school, I'm also a candidate for president, so I guess it won't be an easy life.

"Let's not wait for Lao Gu. He takes too long to come back. Let's play games first." Jin Yuhao looked down at his phone and found that it was already past eight o'clock. If he waited any longer, it would be time to go home.

"It just so happens that I've seen a lot of new party games on Tieba. Everyone takes out their phones and puts them in the middle of the table. Whoever rings first presses the speakerphone button to answer the call and is not allowed to hang up. If you don't dare to answer, you have to tell the truth or drink a glass of wine as punishment."

Chu Qingqing was the first to take out her mobile phone. It was the first time for the others to hear about this game, so they also took out their mobile phones out of curiosity.

Shen Shu, who came from the future, was naturally familiar with this kind of party game. She raised her eyebrows and took out the phone from her pocket.

Only a few people knew her phone number, and they rarely called her at this time, so Shen Shu was not afraid at all.

However, just as she put her hands on the table, the phone rang suddenly.

The corner of Shen Shu's mouth twitched. It was such a coincidence. Several people immediately started to make noises. Chu Qingqing raised her hand with a gossipy look on her face, signaling them to be quiet and let Shen Shu make the choice first.

The call came from an unknown number with no remarks. Shen Shu was slightly stunned when he saw that the IP address showed Beijing.

Her number was registered in Beijing, and not many people knew it, so it was probably a harassing call. So she pressed the answer and hands-free buttons without any hesitation.

"Ah Shu, I miss you so much. I bought that Bechstein grand piano. When can you play it for me again... just like before?"
