It was a call from Jiang Qianqian.
...
The moment Wu Hao left, someone walked toward Qin Zhiâai and Xu Wennuan.
The two of them were whispering with each other about Wu Haoâs proposal to Xu Wennuan. They were so engaged in their planning of the Valentineâs Day wedding that neither of them noticed someone taking a seat next to them.
Xu Wennuan and Wu Hao had dated for nine years. Finally, they were going to tie the knot. Qin Zhiâai was ecstatic for Xu Wennuan.
Everyone has crushes when theyâre young, but how many of them end up actually marrying their high school sweetheart?
The love between these two is the sweetest Iâve ever witnessed.
She turned her head sideways and looked at Xu Wennuan with smiles. She said enthusiastically, âNuannuan, you are getting married next year. Iâm going to give you a huge wedding gift.â
âGreat.â Xu Wennuan happily accepted, then she remembered something. Her face became serious, and she said, âXiaoâai, youâre not getting any younger yourself. Maybe you should think about getting married, too.â She leaned closer. âTell me the truth. Is there someone you like?â
Were Xu Wennuan and Wu Hao not a couple, Qin Zhiâai would definitely tell her who she likedâGu Yusheng.
If she told Xu Wennuan, though, she might tell Wu Hao, who would certainly tell Gu Yusheng. Qin Zhiâai avoided eye contact and lied, âNo.â
It was then that she noticed Gu Yusheng sitting not far from her. She had no idea when he had sat down.
Leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed, he looked tired. His face was expressionless, and his hand rested over his cell phone next to him.
Stealing a glance at Gu Yusheng, Qin Zhiâai said to Xu Wennuan, âIâm not in the mood to think about relationships. After Chinese New Year, Iâm graduating. I need to finish my paper and find an internship.â
âYouâre right. What kind of internship are you looking for? Why donât you come to our start-up and work with us? Or I can hit up Wu Haoâs friends for you.â
Youâre reading on B o x n o v e l .com Thanks!
âNo, thanks. Iâve applied and already heard back from a few of them. I even have an interview next Wednesday at three.â
âWhich company?â
âHui Shi, the game company. You play one of their games, too.â Qin Zhiâai continued, âI did some research. Hui Shi just developed a few new games, and theyâre doing well. I think theyâve got a future.â
Gu Yusheng, sitting by himself, appeared to be sleeping. He slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at Qin Zhiâai.
His eyes lingered on her before he finally looked away and closed his eyes again. He didnât seem to have heard anything. In fact, he seemed not to be hearing anything going on around him.
...
It was already 11:00 p.m. when they were ready to go home.
Wu Hao drove Qin Zhiâai and Xu Wennuan home, and Lu Bancheng had drunk so much that Gu Yusheng gave him a ride home.
Gu Yushengâs plan was to drop off Lu Bancheng and leave. He drove at ease with one hand loosely on the steering wheel. As he was approaching Lu Banchengâs corner, he glanced over at him and asked, âHey, you want to go hang out at the cafe in my hotel for a while?â
