The Eighteenth Sentence Part 2

Cheng Su wanted to call a taxi at the doors of the hotel to take Pu Tao home, but she insisted on following him to see him off.

She reluctantly sent the man to the station. Pu Tao did not turn around to leave until he walked into the crowd of people.

When she went outside, Pu Tao felt like she had just lost something. It was like she had fallen into a dreamland for most of the day, and the remaining feeling on her hand proved that it was not a dream. She really saw him in the flesh and blood. Him: Cloud Dweller, Cheng Su.

Pu Tao smiled like no one was looking.

I am so happy.

I am so happy.

She had to say it multiple times in order to accurately express this kind of happiness.

Before she could finish expressing her happiness, her cell phone rang.

Pu Tao saw the name and couldn’t stop smiling. ♥*♡∞:｡.｡ 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘹𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤.𝘤𝘰𝘮 ｡.｡:∞♡*♥

“Have you gone back yet?”

“Are you on the train yet?”

They both spoke at the same time.

And laughed at the same time.

Cheng Su said, “You answer first.”

Pu Tao: “Not yet, I’m ready to call a taxi.”

Cheng Su: “It’s not late yet. Go home early.”

Pu Tao: “Okay.”

Cheng Su suddenly asked, “Where do you live?”

Pu Tao stopped walking. “Wuhou District.”

Cheng Su said, “My other bookstore is in the northern part of Tianfu. If you feel like you didn’t have enough fun today, you can go there and make up for it. The layout is about the same, but the place is a little larger. I told the store manager that you can go for free, and you can bring your colleagues and friends.”

Pu Tao was confused. “The manager doesn’t know me.”

“I just showed him who you are on Wechat.”

Pu Tao’s eyes curved. “I’m so honored. I feel like a VIP.”

She heard the announcement being made over there. “Are you getting on the train?”

“Mhm.”

“Then don’t get caught up talking to me on the phone and miss your train.”

“Okay,” Cheng Su said. “Then I’ll hang up.”

“Mm.”

—

Back at the apartment, Pu Tao felt light as a feather as if she was trapped in the clouds.

She laid on the bed, took out her cell phone and sent a Wechat message to Cheng Su: “I’m home. Let me know when you get there.”

Cheng Su replied quickly, “Okay.”

He added, “Get some sleep.”

Pu Tao: “Okay, go to sleep soon.”

Cheng Su: “I mean you.”

Oh, he’s so considerate—

In her mind, Pu Tao was rolling on the ground with happy screams, and was so overjoyed that she was slapping her thin legs. She replied to him, “You should get some sleep soon, too.”

Pu Tao: “We both have to get up early.”

The day started out as unsure and unpredictable, and fortunately it ended well.

They chatted for a while. Once sleepiness invaded her brain, Pu Tao’s eyes gradually closed, and she fell asleep.

When she woke up again, Pu Tao quickly picked up her cell phone and looked at the time. F***. It was past eleven o’clock in the evening.

She sat up with a swish and headed straight for Wechat.

As expected, Cheng Su had sent her his whereabouts a few hours ago to tell her that he had arrived home.

Pu Tao’s shoulders slumped. She wanted to reply immediately, but she was afraid that he had already fallen asleep a long time ago.

He was busy traveling, so he must be more tired than her.

After thinking about it, Pu Tao restrained herself and opened up Weibo to search for news about him.

She entered the search words “Cloud Dweller”, and all that popped up were pictures from today’s event. She scrolled down and it was full of compliments about how handsome his face was and how he didn’t need to change it at all.

Pu Tao secretly saved a few pictures and let out a long sigh.

It ended up the way she had expected. This voice and appearance would undoubtedly cause a hurricane with lasting small shock waves in the industry.

She made a mistake. Her timidness and fears had brought out more imaginary enemies against her. Now matter how she looked at it… she had lost more than she had gained.

She should have found a chance for them to meet in private.

Such a respectable and innocent man should not be allowed to show his face.

Annoyed, Pu Tao opened up Cloud Dweller’s Weibo. He did not update his status yet, but the number of fans he had soared by tens of thousands.

After all, he was gaining popularity in real time. There was a set of 9 fan photos on Weibo that had exceeded 8,000 shares, which meant that it was trending outside of the industry.

She had to admit that this set of photos were really good. Pu Tao was so envious that she gave it a like.

She was secretly happy, but also super jealous as she browsed through all the statuses about Cheng Su. Suddenly, she received a Wechat notification.

Pu Tao anxiously went to it. The message was sent by Cheng Su: “Are you awake?”

Pu Tao responded with an emoji of her hands over her head: “How did you know?”

Cheng Su: “I saw your Weibo.”

Oh, he’s paying attention to me. Pu Tao was so delighted that she could only ask: “Oh, are you still up?”

Cheng Su: “I was looking to see when you would wake up.”

Pu Tao: “Just call me.”

Cheng Su: “I don’t want to.”

Pu Tao: “Then what should we do?”

Cheng Su: “What do you think?”

Pu Tao: “I had a faint idea before, but I have a clear idea now.”

Cheng Su chuckled: “Only you would say that.”

Since they were not talking face to face, they seemed to be much more comfortable right now than they were in the afternoon.

Pu Tao sent a photo she had just saved: “My new wallpaper is available now.”

Cheng Su: “Who took it?”

"

"

Pu Tao: “Don’t play dumb with me.”

Cheng Su: “Why didn’t you take one?”

Pu Tao: “I was busy looking at you with my eyes.”

Cheng Su: “Eyes are better than cell phones.”

Pu Tao: “Who made you so good-looking that you can’t stop the fans from taking a picture?”

Cheng Su: “Are you still blaming me?”

Pu Tao: “No, it’s just that you suddenly have a lot of fans on Weibo, so I’m just a teeny tiny bit jealous.”

Cheng Su: “I do?”

Cheng Su: “Let me see.”

After a while, he came back: “It went up a little bit.”

Pu Tao mumbled: “Congratulations.”

Cheng Su was partial to her: “Thank you.”

Pu Tao has been completely reduced to a sour lime: “Do you still receive private messages from a lot of girls?”

A few seconds later, Cheng Su came back with a screenshot.

Pu Tao clicked into it. It was his Weibo message list, and he did indeed have an impressive number of private messages, but…

Cheng Su: “There is only one pinned to the top.”

And it was her.
