The game cannon fodder NPC she A burst the world

"Did he designate you to buy this cake..."

Gu Qiao spoke softly, with his eyes lowered, hiding the weirdness in his expression.

"Well, he said you should like it."

The silver-haired boy in the front row spoke a little vaguely.

"..."

In the rearview mirror, the girl was holding a cake, her eyebrows were calm, and she didn't look very happy.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Jinyan withdrew his gaze and looked a little gloomy.

There are many rumors about the reason why Gu Qiao stayed in the Gu family, but no matter which one they are, they are disgusting.

No one else knew about Gu Qiao's real birthday, but Gu Qishan specifically sent a text message asking him to come and send blessings. It seemed like he was deliberately using him to please Gu Qiao.

But after all, the Gu family were the financial backers behind it, supporting him all the way to becoming popular, so there was no reason why Xie Jinyan couldn't agree to this small favor.

"It's nothing. It's my favorite taste. I'm happy with it."

Gu Qiao looked up, with a smile on his face, and responded politely.

She always liked sweets, but when she saw this cake, she felt inexplicably wary.

'As a former eldest lady of the Gu family, why does Gu Qiao like to eat chocolate blueberry cake?'

In her mind, she asked Yeva casually.

[Isn’t this strange? You all essentially have the same data settings and the same taste. Is it normal? 】

Yeva didn't take it seriously.

Gu Qiao blinked and did not refute immediately.

She does like sweets, but most of the time, she doesn't have a choice, so she picks the cheapest one.

Chocolate blueberry cake was just her compromise choice because of poverty.

But the former Miss Gu should have had countless choices. If it was out of her love for sweets, she would definitely choose more ones with better taste...

But Yeva won't understand this.

"?...."

The soothing music that had been playing in the car was suddenly overshadowed by a lazy and decadent chant.

When Gu Qiao came back to her senses, she saw her cell phone ringing on the car's built-in shelf.

The music style of the ringtone is very psychedelic, full of a sense of contradiction, like a light rain falling in the lifeless gray mist, trying to wash away the dust and gray, but blending with them, hanging high in the sky, unable to fall

A sense of stalemate.

The singer's voice is very familiar.

The lazy and slightly hoarse voice is Xie Jinyan.

"This is the demo I sent you last week... the new style, you don't seem to like it?"

Xie Jinyan noticed the sight behind him, and still had a smile on his face. He reached for the phone and looked up in the rearview mirror.

The girl in the back seat frowned slightly, with a hint of depression and patience on her pale face.

Sent to her last week?

In her space, there is 'Gu Qiao''s mobile phone, but there are only a few contacts on it, and there is no Xie Jinyan.

Maybe 'Gu Qiao' didn't exist, maybe she deleted it, and Gu Qiao couldn't verify it.

It's just that Xie Jinyan...since he and "Gu Qiao" hate each other, but they share new songs and appear to be somewhat close, the relationship between the two is indeed a bit confusing.

"It seems like you haven't even clicked on those songs. You said you would fall asleep listening to my songs before, so you were lying to me, right?"

The young man smiled and his tone was somewhat casually probing.

"..."

Gu Qiao silently raised her eyes and looked at the back of the young man's head in the driver's seat. She knew very little about Xie Jinyan. Such a young and popular idol was in a field that she had no idea about.

In my limited knowledge, a young idol like Xie Jinyan would probably sing some youthful and exciting or sweet and happy songs?

Or maybe the youthful spirit is full of vitality as bright as the rising sun.

But this song is full of melancholy, as if no matter how bright the sunrise is, it will quietly destroy life...

"...won't you answer the phone?"

Gu Qiao slowly sat up straight and carefully changed the topic. People like Xie Jinyan, who have been in the entertainment industry for a long time, will be more observant and more insightful than ordinary people.

She didn't know how well Xie Jinyan knew the original 'Gu Qiao', but it was difficult not to uncover clues when talking about the past that was completely blank to her.

Xie Jinyan's lips curled up slightly, and he answered the phone without asking further questions:

"Hello?"

The ringing stopped immediately.

"...."

Gu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

She doesn't listen to music very much, but the emotion of this song is very contagious. Even if there are no lyrics and she doesn't know what it is expressing, she will still feel a weird discomfort, like holding driftwood and falling into a sticky swamp.

He struggled to get out of the mud, but was unable to do anything and could only sink in helplessly.

"Didn't you say you were here to pick me up? Why did it take you so long?"

A young girl's voice came faintly from the other end of the phone, making Gu Qiao frown.

This female voice...she was also familiar with it.

"It's almost time. Just wait a little longer, be good."

Ahead, the young man responded with a doting tone.

The other end muttered and said a few more words with a coquettish tone. The young man comforted in a low voice, his tone was too gentle.

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Jinyan threw the phone away, and the doting smile on his face disappeared immediately.

He turned the car around a corner, glanced at the rearview mirror, and took the initiative to speak again on the topic just now:

"Gu Qiao...how is your sleep quality recently?"

The young man raised his eyes and looked at the neon lights and shadows stretching away in the dusk, his eyes dark.

There was a hint of tenderness and concern in her voice.

"fine."

Gu Qiao answered briefly and restrainedly. The other party would care about whether she slept well. Maybe it was because of the original depression of 'Gu Qiao' that she never slept well?

If you really listen to the song shared by Xie Jinyan, then it’s normal to have trouble sleeping...

"Do you still have those weird nightmares?"

The young man's voice was slightly hoarse, and his hands holding the steering wheel were a little tight.

Gu Qiao's eyes paused slightly. She had no way to answer this question and could only choose to remain silent.

It suddenly became dark inside the car.

Xie Jinyan turned off the lights in the car and looked at the girl in the dark in the back seat without any panic.

"You don't seem to be afraid of the dark anymore... During that time, you were afraid of the dark and didn't dare to sleep. You called me and hoped that I could talk to you..."

"I had a busy schedule and couldn't take it into consideration. Now, it seems you don't need me anymore."

Outside the car window, the dim light cast by the streetlight flashed across the girl's pale face as the car drove.

She still looked fragile, with a faint greenish gray under her eyes, as if she hadn't rested for a long time.

"I also had a dream last night..."

Xie Jinyan looked sad and stopped talking.

"Is it a nightmare too?"

Just as he was about to turn on the lights in the car again, a girl's calm voice came from behind.

He paused, the consistent smile between his eyebrows and eyes showed a bit of weirdness, and replied in a somewhat funny tone:

"I dreamed...that you were dead."

Gu Qiao's breathing paused slightly and he let out a sigh.

Probably because her reaction was too calm, Xie Jinyan paused in his smile and added: "He died the night before Gu Huai's birthday."
