When Lu Bancheng raised the tea cup to his mouth, he also raised his head and asked, âWho?â
Gu Yusheng hesitated and then said the words, âQin Zhiâai.â
He frowned.
Qin Zhiâai, Qin Zhiâai, Qian Zhiâai... Why is that name so familiar?
He had found it familiar when sheâd introduced herself to him just that afternoon.
When heâd first seen her this evening, he realized he had seen her once last year. She was a good friend of Hao Ziâs wife.
He thought her name might have sounded familiar because perhaps he had met her last year. When he said her name out loud, though, he seemed to remember her from a long time ago.
âXiaoâai?â Lu Bancheng shook his head. âNo way. Are you kidding? Xiaoâai couldnât be Liang Doukouâs body double. Sure, they look alike, but looks arenât everything. You know how advanced plastic surgery is and what makeup can do. Two totally different people can look similar. And also, Xiaoâai doesnât sound like Liang Doukou, nor do they have similar personalities at all. They are not the same kind of people. Itâs not possible. Definitely impossible.â
Lu Bancheng paused, then added, âDonât forget we met Xiaoâai once last year. Back then, Xiaokouâs body double was already at your house. Obviously, she couldnât be Xiaokouâs body double.â
âI know.â Compared to Lu Banchengâs excitement on this matter, Gu Yusheng was almost serene.
He understood what Lu Bancheng had said, and he agreed that Liang Doukou and Qin Zhiâai were quite different.
For some reason, however, the moment his eyes had met hers, his heart lifted. It was the sign heâd been waiting for that she was the girl.
Gu Yusheng had generally not ascribed any logic to his feelings, but this excitement was exactly what he had felt when his eyes met those of little troublemaker at his grandpaâs house. And his life had seemed entwined with hers ever since then.
Eleven months had passed since she left him. He had seen many beautiful girls on the streets, but Qin Zhiâai was the first one he felt he had known before.
No matter how ridiculous Lu Bancheng would think he is, he would follow his heart this time.
Gu Yusheng said, âI want to take a shot.â
âDo you mean...â Lu Bancheng knew Gu Yusheng had made up his mind when he nodded at him.
Gu Yusheng looked into his eyes to confirm it. âYes, I plan to move back to Beijing.â
Even if Iâm never at peace again after returning to Beijing, Iâll be fine. I just want to get back here.
Even though that girl student is different from little troublemaker, I still want to come back.
Gu Yusheng added, âIâm coming back for her.â
He was not just coming back to Beijing but also walking straight into her life, and he would figure out whether or not she was his little troublemaker once and for all.
Gu Yusheng looked back into Lu Banchengâs eyes and said, âDo you still want to play the game?â
