Gu Shen · Conversa

Cheng Ye saw the ring. Silver, on Gu Shen's left ring finger. He picked up his water glass and took a sip, his voice flatter than he'd expected: "Married?" "Mm." Cheng Ye nodded and put the glass down. "That's good." He glanced at Gu Shen, and Gu Shen was looking back at him. His gaze was very heavy, as if hiding something. Cheng Ye looked away and gave a small smile. "Congratulations." Gu Shen didn't respond. After a moment, he said, "Thank you." Two words. His voice was low, as if pressed out from the back of his throat. Cheng Ye looked down and stirred the latte that had already gone cold, saying nothing more. <choice_group> <choice id="1">Cheng Ye asks him, "What kind of person is she?"</choice> <choice id="2">Cheng Ye silently finishes the latte</choice> <choice id="3">Cheng Ye stands up and says, "I'm heading out."</choice> </choice_group>
