Gu Niannian accidentally caught a glimpse of Wen Tingyu looking awkwardly at the kettle.
"..."
This was the first time she saw the dignified president of the empire looking so at a loss.
Gu Niannian walked over and pressed her finger on the button under the kettle: "Just press here."
"Here?" Wen Tingyu stretched out his hand.
"Yes." Gu Niannian nodded.
The two people's fingertips suddenly touched together.
A strange current instantly passed through the two people's bodies.
Gu Niannian's breathing stopped.
Wen Tingyu was the first to react.
His hand suddenly grasped Gu Niannian's hand. He couldn't control it at all, as if it was a subconscious move.
Gu Niannian opened her eyes wide in shock.
"Nian Nian, don't worry, I'm here." Wen Tingyu said suddenly.
Gu Niannian paused.
The man's palm was very warm, and her hand was so wrapped in warmth that she couldn't bear to pull it away.
Gu Niannian bit her lip.
She comforted herself that it was nothing at all, it was just Wen Tingyu's way of comforting herself.
She was in such a panic at the moment that she didn't want to give up even a little bit of warmth.
The two people held hands like this until the water boiled.
…
"Nian Nian, I'll pour you some water."
"Um."
Wen Tingyu let go of Gu Niannian's hand.
The warmth was taken away, and Gu Niannian's heart felt a little empty.
Wen Tingyu handed the cup to Gu Niannian.
It was about the temperature of hot water, and the water cup also became hot.
But Gu Niannian felt that his hands were not as warm as Wen Tingyu's.
The warmth brought by the man's hands really warmed her heart.
After drinking the hot water, Gu Niannian looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the morning.
She couldn't help but ask: "My dad, is there any news?"
"Nian Nian, it only took more than ten minutes to find me. It's not that fast."
Gu Niannian whispered "Oh".
Wen Tingyu's men had only been away for more than ten minutes, but she felt that a long, long time had passed.
She was really too worried about Gu Jun.
In the following time, Gu Niannian asked Wen Tingyu almost every few minutes if there was any latest news.
Wen Tingyu also had a good temper and went to ask Su Bai every few minutes.
However, how can I find someone so quickly? Every time I ask, I still haven’t found him yet.
In the end, Gu Niannian couldn't hold it any longer.
Wen Tingyu's eyes deepened slightly: "Nian Nian, I will take you out to look for him. We will drive around to see if we can see your father."
Gu Niannian immediately agreed.
＊＊＊＊＊
Late at night, Wen Tingyu's car drove quickly on the street.
Gu Niannian was afraid that she might not look carefully, so she opened the car window and stared outside.
The wind in the middle of the night was very strong, blowing into the car in waves, and Gu Niannian shivered subconsciously.
Wen Tingyu saw it.
He immediately stopped the car and put his coat on Gu Niannian.
Gu Niannian opened her eyes wide: "You will be cold."
"It's okay." The man's tone was low and magnetic: "I'm a man, so it's okay to be cold."
Gu Niannian still wanted to refuse, so Wen Tingyu restarted the engine.
At this time Wen Tingyu was wearing a white shirt.
Gu Niannian's hand grasped the corner of Wen Tingyu's coat, and ripples appeared in her heart.
The man's coat smelled faintly of freshness and tobacco.
"Wen Tingyu." Gu Niannian couldn't help but said in a low voice: "Thank you for accompanying me to find my father so late."
"He is Wen Hui's grandfather, so I should also look for him."
Gu Niannian's thick and long eyelashes trembled.
She was filled with gratitude, but couldn't say a word.
＊＊＊＊
After searching the streets for two hours, Gu Niannian still couldn't find Gu Jun.
And Su Bai hasn't found Gu Jun yet.
Her heart became more and more nervous.
"Wen Tingyu, will something happen to my dad?" Gu Niannian asked worriedly.
"Nian Nian, don't worry, I will definitely help you find your father." The man's voice was soothing.
Gu Niannian's tone became darker and she swallowed harder: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't gone to work, my dad wouldn't have gone missing properly. It's all my fault."
"Nian Nian." Wen Tingyu emphasized his tone: "Your father is an adult and does not need you to watch him all the time. Besides, if the accident can be expected, it is not an accident. You don't need to blame yourself."
Although Wen Tingyu was right, Gu Niannian still felt extremely guilty.
She looked helplessly out of the car window, hoping to spot Gu Jun's figure.
When the sky turned slightly white, Wen Tingyu suggested driving back to the apartment where Nian Nian was staying to see if he could find Gu Jun near the apartment.
Gu Niannian agreed immediately.
In the end, Wen Tingyu was right. As soon as the car arrived at Gu Niannian's neighborhood, Gu Niannian saw a somewhat hunchbacked figure.
"Wen Tingyu!" Gu Niannian suddenly became excited: "In front, in front, I see my dad."
Wen Tingyu drove the car faster and braked suddenly when he drove in front of Gu Jun.
Gu Niannian immediately opened the car door and jumped out.
"Dad." Gu Niannian rushed over: "Where have you been? I'm looking for you everywhere. I'm going crazy with worry."
Gu Niannian's eyes turned red when she spoke.
Gu Jun was startled by Gu Niannian's sudden appearance.
When he saw that the person in front of him was his daughter, a flash of panic flashed in Gu Jun's eyes.
The panic quickly disappeared like a swallow's tail cutting across the water.
"I, I, I just walk around." Gu Jun looked evasive.
He had been in good and bad spirits during this period, so no one thought there was anything strange about Gu Jun's evasive expression.
Gu Niannian grabbed Gu Jun's hand: "Dad, please don't do this next time, you will make me worry."
Tears fell down as she spoke.
Gu Jun was shocked when he saw Gu Niannian's appearance.
"Dad, dad won't do this next time."
Gu Niannian took a deep breath.
She originally wanted to say a few more words, but now that Gu Jun was like this she couldn't say much.
"Then let's go up, Dad." Gu Niannian said.
Gu Jun nodded.
After walking a few steps, Gu Niannian suddenly stopped.
She almost forgot that Wen Tingyu was still there.
She turned around and saw Wen Tingyu standing behind.
The early morning light shone on Wen Tingyu's body, adding an extra gentleness to this man's handsomeness.
Gu Niannian walked up to Wen Tingyu.
There was a hint of indescribable emotion in her tone: "If you don't mind, let's go up and have breakfast together."
Wen Tingyu had been searching with her for most of the night last night. She should have invited Wen Tingyu to have breakfast with her and give him a little rest.
Wen Tingyu's eyes narrowed slightly.
He thought that Gu Niannian would just leave with Gu Jun, but he didn't expect that Gu Niannian would suddenly return and want to go up to have breakfast with him. A ripple flashed across his black eyes.
