Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 204 Are you... alright today?

She involuntarily raised her head, and her gaze unexpectedly met Gu Heng's.

In that instant, Li Qingyou's heart raced, as if gripped tightly by something, making her involuntarily tense.

The bottle in her hand seemed to grow heavier, and before she knew it, it slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound.

The sudden noise shattered the lively atmosphere in the private room, and everyone's eyes turned to Li Qingyou.

Li Qingyou instantly felt like she had become the target of everyone's criticism. Her face flushed with shame, and she hurriedly bent down to pick up the broken pieces of glass.

Gu Heng's gaze lingered on Li Qingyou for a moment before slowly withdrawing. He looked at the woman holding the wine glass, smiled, took the glass, and took a small sip.

No one paid any attention to this little incident, and they continued their laughter and chatter as if the incident had just passed by like a gust of wind, leaving no trace.

Li Qingyou quickly picked up the broken pieces on the floor, silently stepped aside, and continued her cleaning work. She tried her best to stay focused and not think about the moment her eyes met Gu Heng's.

Gu Heng returned to normal and continued talking with the others. His gaze would occasionally sweep across the crowd, but he never encountered Li Qingyou again.

The atmosphere in the private room gradually became lively, with music, laughter, and clinking glasses blending together to create a cheerful and harmonious scene.

After tidying everything up, Li Qingyou quietly left the private room, feeling a sense of relief. As soon as she stepped out, she let out a soft breath, as if all her tension and unease had been released.

She checked the time and realized there was still an hour before she was supposed to leave work, so she quickly moved on to cleaning the next private room.

An hour later, Li Qingyou finished all her work on time. She packed up her tools and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she glanced back at the private room she had just cleaned, her heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

Li Qingyou walked home, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the night breeze caressing her face.

Just as she was immersed in this tranquility and comfort, a sudden voice broke the silence:

"Get in the car and I'll see you off."

The sound startled Li Qingyou, who was walking briskly by the roadside. She quickly turned around and saw a luxury car slowly stopping beside her.

Gu Heng sat in the back seat, looking at her calmly, as if everything was happening naturally.

Li Qingyou was startled. She hadn't expected to run into Gu Heng here, much less that he would offer to take her home. She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

Gu Heng neither spoke nor left, but simply looked at her calmly.

Looking at Gu Heng like this, Li Qingyou finally decided to get on the bus.

She gently opened the car door and sat down next to Gu Heng. A faint fragrance filled the car, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.

Gu Heng didn't say anything, started the car, and began driving towards Li Qingyou's home.

Neither of them spoke the rest of the way, but Li Qingyou felt a sense of peace she had never felt before.

Looking at the night view outside the window, she felt a little confused. She didn't know why he had suddenly appeared here, nor why he was taking her home, but all of this made her feel a strange warmth.

The car quickly arrived at Li Qingyou's building. She quietly said thank you and prepared to get out. But just then, Gu Heng suddenly spoke:

"Are you... alright today?"

Following Gu Heng's gaze, Li Qingyou looked down at her right hand, which was covered with several bandages.
