Gu Jiangnian looked at Jiang Muwan with a smile that kept playing upon his face.
"Manman," he called her, his gaze soft and affectionate like water, "what about you?"
"What for?" she responded, her tone playful and coquettish.
"Close your eyes," the man sat opposite her, his thin lips parting, a charming and dangerously seductive smile gracing his lips.
Jiang Muwan looked at him, perplexed, but the smile at the corner of his lips deepened.
Though puzzled, Jiang Muwan complied and closed her eyes.
Soon, she heard the sound of a chair being pushed back and, after a moment, a pair of warm palms rested on her eyelids, and his tender words brushed past her ear: "Stand up."
Gu Jiangnian stood by Jiang Muwan, covering her eyes with his hands, slowly leading her somewhere step by step.
After several steps, the man's footsteps halted, and the warmth on her eyelids disappeared.
She remained still until the sound of a piano reached her ears, and then she slowly lifted her eyelids.
