Chapter 235: Snow in Jinling
Backstage.
The staff from Sujiang TV said to Yan Shen, "We're offering dinner tonight. Would you like to stay and have dinner? Han Hong and others will be here too."
Yan Shen was about to speak when she heard a familiar voice behind her, slow-paced, gentle, and magnetic.
"No need."
Hearing this voice, Yan Shen's face under the mask instantly showed a surprised expression, but her crescent-shaped eyes couldn't hide the joy.
"Weren't you still in the Capital City? How come you're in Jinling?"
"On my way back to Shanghai, happened to pass by Jinling, so I came over."
Gu Bai replied softly with a smile on his face.
The staff, seeing Gu Bai, felt a strong sense of familiarity but couldn't quite recall immediately. They couldn't help asking, "Are you Yan Shen's family? You can bring relatives to dinner here."
Gu Bai replied with a smile, "No need, we have plans for tonight. Thank you for the TV station's kind offer."
Gu Bai implicitly acknowledged the staff's inquiry about being Yan Shen's family, causing Yan Shen's face under the mask to blush instantly.
"Alright then, have fun."
"Thank you."
After saying that, Gu Bai directly took Yan Shen's hand and walked out. Yan Shen, surprised by Gu Bai's sudden move, instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand but couldn't as Gu Bai held it tightly.
A few seconds later, Yan Shen gave up struggling, letting Gu Bai hold her hand.
After they had walked a while, the staff opened Weibo, followed the memory, and came across Gu Bai's profile. Match the photo on the profile with Gu Bai himself, and after a surprise, quickly ran to the entrance trying to catch up, but by then Gu Bai and Yan Shen had already taken the elevator and left.
"Ah!"
The staff let out a sharp scream.
The other staff, unaware of what happened, rushed over, and her manager couldn't help scolding, "Zhang Xiaonan, what are you doing? Screaming like this at a workplace?!"
The staff named Zhang Xiaonan couldn't calm her excitement facing the reprimand, raising her phone high, "I just saw Principal Gu!"
The manager frowned and asked, "Which Principal Gu?"
"It's Principal Gu! That young leader Gu Bai, Principal Gu!"
As soon as Zhang Xiaonan finished speaking, her colleagues started asking questions.
"???"
"Really? Gu Bai came to our station?"
"It can't be true, we haven't had any interview shows recently. We did have one inviting him before, but it got declined."
"Xiaonan, are you sure you didn't get it wrong?"
Hearing her colleagues' doubts, Zhang Xiaonan hurriedly explained, "I swear I didn't get it wrong! I saw Principal Gu holding tonight's number three contestant Yan Shen walking out!"
Seeing the staff discussing, the manager promptly said, "Stop gossiping, even if Gu Bai is here, it's work time now! Get back to work!"
After saying so, he turned and walked towards the monitoring room.
On the other side, Gu Bai had taken Yan Shen to the parking lot outside the Sujiang TV Building.
A usual Maybach was parked nearby.
Gu Bai let go of Yan Shen's hand, opened the car door, and said, "Get in."
The hand that Gu Bai had been holding felt chilly due to the cold wind, and an empty feeling surged in Yan Shen's heart, but she obediently nodded and sat in the passenger seat.
After getting in the car, Gu Bai gently fastened Yan Shen's seat belt. In this cold weather, everyone was bundled up tightly, leaving no chance for any body fragrance, but Yan Shen's hair tips still had a faint shampoo scent, fresh and alluring.
Yan Shen's body tensed up, fists clenched, anxious and trembling, not daring to speak one word. Since childhood, aside from her father, it was her first time being so close with a male.
Feeling Yan Shen's trembling body, Gu Bai curiously asked, "Are you cold?"
After asking, he casually turned on the car's air conditioner, hot air streaming out, instantly making the atmosphere in the car cozier.
"Not that cold..."
A weak voice came out of her mouth.
Gu Bai found it somewhat amusing and then reached out to remove her mask.
"Uh!"
Yan Shen made a tense scream.
The face under the mask remained so delicate, skin smooth and creamy like sheep milk curd, her long eyelashes lightly fluttering, and her pretty nose because of the weather was reddened at the tip, yet it looked exceptionally cute. Even having just finished the show and appeared slightly weary, she couldn't hide her beauty.
Seeing her anxiousness, Gu Bai smiled slightly, then turned around to start the car.
"Seems like you know how pretty you are. You even wear a mask on the show, not bad, remember to keep it up later."
The vehicle started slowly and soon drove onto the street.
"It's not because of that! It's because the weather is too cold!"
"Yes, yes, whatever you say is right."
Gu Bai responded perfunctorily while steering the vehicle.
Hearing his full of perfunctory tone, Yan Shen ground her little Huya, glanced at Gu Bai's long, fair, and clearly jointed right hand on the steering wheel, her eyes glimmered.
But as soon as her thoughts emerged, Gu Bai found out, warning her, "Don't act like a dog again. I'm telling you, this time there's no Grandpa Qian or Principal Jin backing you. If you dare to bite me, you're doomed!"
"I wasn't even thinking of biting you, it's disgusting!"
