It wasnât important to Qin Zhiâai which movie she was going to watch, as long as she was going to watch it with Gu Yusheng. Qin Zhiâai scanned the schedule for movies and picked the earliest one. While they were waiting at a traffic light, she raised her phone in front of Gu Yushengâs face. âIs this one okay?â
Gu Yusheng was only going to accompany Qin Zhiâai. He didnât have any specific movie in his mind. He glanced at the cell phone and nodded. âSure.â
â¦
The moment Gu Yushengâs car drove into the underground parking lot at the theater, a red sedan steadily slowed down and parked in front of the cinema.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhou Jing was sitting on the driver side and rolled down the window. She watched the theater for a while before she grabbed the cell phone next to her and checked the battery. It showed that there was 73% battery remaining. She pulled the cord out of the phone and dialed the landline of her house.
Liang Doukou had probably been waiting next to the landline all this while, waiting for her call. The call was picked up immediately, the exact moment the phone rang. âZhou Jing, did you make the appointment with my body double for a time I can switch with her?â
âYes, itâll be on the twelfth.â
âThe twelfth? Today is only the eighth. Why do we have to wait so many days? If we were going to wait anyway, why did you rush me to come back? Gu Yusheng might have already proposed to her by that dayââ
âNo, he wouldnât be able to propose her!â Zhou Jing interrupted. She leaned back in the car seat. She looked a bit peeved and repeated what she had just said. âI am not letting Gu Yusheng get any chance to propose to her.â
Liang Doukou hesitated for a while on the phone, then asked in confusion, âWhat do you mean?â
Zhou Jing had no intention to explain herself to Liang Doukou. She abruptly changed the subject. âXiaokou, did you hear about what happened in the costume department?â
Liang Doukou was quiet for a while on the line before she continued. She didnât sound as confused as before. Instead, she sounded a little sad. âI heard that Gu Yusheng cared about her more than I thought.â
âYes, more than I thought, too.â Zhou Jing hurried to modify her earlier statement. âNo, to be more specific, I didnât expect him to care her that much.â
Zhou Jing put an emphasis on âdidnât expectâ and âthat much.â After speaking, she seemed to organize her thoughts and words and paused for a second before she continued, âXiaokou, back then, I allowed that poor girl to move into Gu Yushengâs house because you werenât close to him, and he wouldnât notice that someone else was your body double. Now, Gu Yusheng and that poor girl are close. Are you sure Gu Yusheng wonât notice anything when you are switched back?â
âIâ¦â Liang Doukou only said one word before she grew quiet over the phone, because she wasnât sure if he would or not.
âIf Gu Yusheng notices anything, what is going to happen? That means that the fact that you hired a body double will be exposed. Gu Yusheng would know that the one he fell in love with was not Liang Doukou, but your body double. If that happens, what do you think Gu Yusheng will do?â
Zhou Jing didnât give any time for Liang Doukou to answer her this time. Right away, she answered the question by herself.
