Faced with the sudden surge of human cubs, Yu Yuan froze. During the final climax, he barely uttered a sound, and kept moving towards the front of the observation deck, trying to break through the cubs’ encirclement.
Fortunately, the cubs only met briefly and disappeared immediately after singing the verse. Yu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but also found it inexplicably interesting.
”I saw online that this song is powerful, I didn’t expect it to be true,” Yu Yuan said to Gu Shaocheng with a smile.
With each explosion of fireworks, countless orbs of light bloomed and overlapped in the night sky, creating a sea of light where the sky and water blended into one color.
Beneath the breathtakingly dazzling light, Gu Shaocheng’s face was stiff, his brows were deeply furrowed, and there was a faint bluish tinge under his eyes.
Yu Yuan’s heart immediately went into alarm. He leaned closer to get a better look: “You look terrible. Do you have another headache?”
Gu Shaocheng’s illness was frequent. Last time, Yu Yuan suspected that something was wrong with him in the car. However, Gu Shaocheng usually had a stern face and amazing patience, so Yu Yuan could only grasp a little bit of the pattern and could not confirm it.
Gu Shaocheng realized this after being reminded by Yu Yuan. Based on the time he took his medication the night before and the excessive concentration he had to deal with today, it was indeed time for his illness to flare up.
But now, apart from the suffocating feeling of having his surging emotions forcibly suppressed, he doesn’t feel any other discomfort.
In addition to the smell of gunpowder and sulfur from the burning fireworks carried by the sea breeze, Gu Shaocheng also smelled a faint sweetness emanating from Yu Yuan.
His eyes lowered slightly, meeting the clear black eyes hidden behind the cat-head mask. Seeing the other person looking at him with concern, Gu Shaocheng nodded slightly as if possessed.
Upon seeing this, Yu Yuan quickly removed his mask and placed it on a shelf to the side. He then took Gu Shaocheng’s arm and prepared to lead the people away.
As Yu Yuan moved closer, his scent became even more pronounced.
Gu Shaocheng pursed his thin lips and said somewhat stiffly, “It’s just a little bit.”
Yu Yuan’s mind raced, and his eyes narrowed. “But you look like you’re in a lot of pain. Did my singing make your head hurt more? Do you have a fever this time?”
Gu Shaocheng shook his head: “No.” He liked it very much, and he would have liked it even more if those kids hadn’t suddenly appeared.
The interrupted emotions slowly resurfaced under Yu Yuan’s concerned gaze, like sparks hidden under charcoal ash being gently blown away and reignited.
Fireworks illuminate the night, the slightly salty sea breeze carries a unique charm, and a little further away, amidst the bustling crowds, countless lovers choose this moment to share a romantic kiss.
Even Gu Shaocheng was touched for a moment. He thought that it was no big deal to pretend to be sick once. After all, in this situation, who could resist a gentle warmth that was softer than the sea breeze?
So when Yu Yuan eagerly reached out to touch his forehead, Gu Shaocheng did not refuse, but simply lowered his dark eyes and waited quietly.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yuan made a mistake in his haste and overlooked the fact that the two of them were standing in the best viewing area—a steep platform that rose up from the beach.
To avoid the cubs that were about to attack, he had almost stood on the edge of the platform. Gu Shaocheng followed instinctively, but both of them had obviously overlooked this.
So when Yu Yuan turned to Gu Shaocheng to test the temperature and missed a step, Gu Shaocheng suddenly remembered and instantly pulled him into his arms without hesitation.
Gu Shaocheng tried to use the momentum to throw them back to the inside, but the wooden plank under his feet was very slippery, and the two of them spun 180 degrees on the spot.
Under the influence of centrifugal force, Yu Yuan was kept firmly on the stage by Gu Shaocheng, while he himself was thrown off.
The two were not in the same league in terms of height and weight, and Yu Yuan could not hold onto the other at all. He could only firmly step on Gu Shaocheng’s half foot that was still on the stage.
His original intention was to keep Gu Shaocheng on the stage, but in his panic, he didn’t have time to think things through and only felt that he could save as many people as possible.
However, the downward momentum was irreversible. Stepping on Gu Shaocheng’s half foot not only failed to stop him, but also caused Gu Shaocheng to fall almost headfirst.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The bodyguards standing at a distance initially thought the couple was having a little romantic time, embracing and twirling together in a love waltz amidst the fireworks.
Who would have thought the situation would change so rapidly—
Zheng Liang quickly stepped forward and knelt down to check the injury: “Sir, are there any broken bones?” Although he fell on the white sand beach, a fracture can often happen in an instant.
Gu Shaocheng raised his hand, which had been cut by a seashell, and pressed it against the bleeding wound with a blank expression, confirming the reality through the clear pain.
Gu Shaocheng remained silent for a moment, then calmly moved his lips: Heh…
