He looked at her for a while. The more he looked, the more he felt her eyes resembled Liang Doukouâs. They were both big and as black as obsidian.
If there was any difference between her and Liang Doukou, it was that Liang Doukou liked to wear makeup, while she didnât wear any. The clothes she wore were not as luxurious and glamorous as Liang Doukouâs. She wore her straight hair down, which made her eyes more clear and purer than Liang Doukouâs.
Lu Bancheng saw Gu Yusheng staring at Qin Zhiâai without saying anything for a while so he came up to ask him, âWhy arenât you talking?â
Gu Yusheng didnât notice that Qin Zhiâai and Xu Wennuan had finished their song âHiroshima My Loveâ until Lu Bancheng reminded him. He wondered when they had finished singing.
Gu Yusheng slightly frowned. How could I daze off by staring at a girl I just met? he thought to himself.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhatâs wrong?â Lu Bancheng didnât get any response from Gu Yusheng, so he waved his hand in front of his face to get his attention. It might have been because of the alcohol that Lu Bancheng talked more recklessly than usually. âHas your soul been stolen by Haoziâs wifeâs bestie?â
Gu Yusheng acted like he had heard a bad joke. He laughed in a low pitch and said, âIt has nothing to do with me if sheâs pretty or not. Donât bullsh*t me.â
âMe, bullsh*tting you? Who dazed offââ Lu Bancheng wanted to argue with Gu Yusheng with the help of the alcohol. However, Gu Yusheng gave him a dirty look before he could finish talking.
Gu Yusheng asked, âAre you done? You look like you have nothing to do. Why are you talking to someone whoâs not even important? If youâre interested in her, you can go talk to her. Donât bullsh*t me. Iâm not interested.â

Xu Wennuan was pulled into Wu Haoâs arms after singing the song. Wu Hao passed her a glass of juice to help her throat.
Xu Wennuan looked for kisses in Wu Haoâs arms.
Qin Zhiâai was too shy to watch, so she turned around, walked to the table, and took a seat.
The room seemed to be quieter than before, since there was no one singing or any music playing at that moment, only loud noises from people convincing each other to drink more.
Qin Zhiâai reached her hand out to grab herself some juice. She had good ears, so she heard Lu Banchengâs say, âWhatâs wrong? Has your soul been stolen by the bestie of Haoziâs wifeâs bestie?â
She thought to herself, The bestie of Haoziâs wife? Is that me?
Qin Zhiâai stopped herself from grabbing the juice. Instead, she turned around to look for Lu Banchengâs voice. She found Gu Yusheng and Lu Bancheng sitting close to her.
There was a guy in between them. He was playing a card game, so engaged in it that he wasnât paying attention to Gu Yusheng and Lu Bancheng.
She picked a corner of the room to sit in. With a guy in between them, Gu Yusheng and Lu Bancheng didnât notice her. They continued their talk. In fact, they talked in a low pitch. If there had been music, Qin Zhiâai wouldnât have heard them even if she wanted to eavesdrop.
âIt has nothing to do with me if sheâs pretty or not. Donât bullsh*t me.â
âMe, bullsh*tting you? Who dazed offââ
âAre you done? You look like you have nothing to do. Why are you talking to someone whoâs not even important? If youâre interested in her, you can go talk to her. Donât bullsh*t me. Iâm not interested.â
It seemed that Lu Bancheng could tell Gu Yusheng was annoyed, so he dropped the topic and moved onto something else.
Qin Zhiâai quietly watched Gu Yushengâs face from the side. She stopped paying attention to their conversation, what Gu Yusheng had said to Lu Bancheng still lingering in her head.
