Qin Zhi’ai suddenly shut up. She looked at the place where the voice had come from and saw a car she knew very well parked in front of her.
Although she saw it was Lu Bancheng who had craned his head out of the driver’s window, she could still recognize that it was Gu Yusheng’s car at a glance.
She wasn’t sure if Gu Yusheng was in the car, but she was so afraid to meet him that she turned around without thinking, then looked around and hid behind a well-trimmed row of evergreen bushes.
Through the small cracks among the branches and leaves, Qin Zhi’ai saw Xu Wennuan putting her arms closely around Wu Hao’s neck, holding her head up coquettishly. She asked for a kiss before reluctantly letting Wu Hao go, then she stepped back and waving at him.
Wu Hao stretched out his hand, gently touched her head, and then turned around and returned to the car.
The engine of the car hadn’t been turned off, so the just car turned around and quickly passed by Qin Zhi’ai.
Although it was only a quick glance, Qin Zhi’ai still saw Gu Yusheng sitting in the passenger seat through the car window.
He was in a black windbreaker, and his hair was a bit messy from the wind.
It was too fast for her to clearly see his expression, let alone notice all his changes after nearly three months.
Qin Zhi’ai hid behind the bushes for a long time and didn’t come out until the cell phone in her bag rang. She came out of her trance and took out her cell phone. It was Xu Wennuan who was calling.
Perhaps her mind was still blank after her indirect meeting with Gu Yusheng, but she didn’t speak after she got through.
On the phone, Xu Wennuan was especially excited. “Xiao’ai, you’re back?
“Why didn’t you tell me when you came back? I said I was going to pick you up!
“Xiao’ai, where are you now?”
After Xu Wennuan had said a few words, Qin Zhi’ai came back to herself. “I’m going to the supermarket.”
“Which supermarket? The nearby Hualian Market? Wait for me, I’ll pick you up.” On the phone, Qin Zhi’ai heard the sound of Xu Wennuan running.
“No, I’m downstairs now. Wait for me at home.”
…
As soon as Qin Zhi’ai came out of the elevator, she saw Xu Wennuan.
She even didn’t have time to react when Xu Wennuan rushed over, hugging her, kissing her, and jumping around her merrily.
At the door, the two girls embraced each other excitedly for a long time before they entered the house.
Xu Wennuan had intended to take Qin Zhi’ai out to a restaurant for dinner, but Qin Zhi’ai was very tired, since she had been on the train the whole morning and had been cleaning the whole afternoon, so Qin Zhi’ai suggested they eat at home.
Xu Wennuan listened to her advice, and of course, it was Qin Zhi’ai who cooked the meal.
While Qin Zhi’ai was busy cooking in the kitchen, Xu Wennuan helped her while chattering the whole time.
As Xu Wennuan was chattering, crouched in front of the garbage can and cleaning coriander, she suddenly thought of something very surprising. She raised her head and said mysteriously to Qin Zhi’ai, “Xiao’ai?”
Xu Wennuan’s tone of voice had changed so suddenly that Qin Zhi’ai was somewhat puzzled, so Qin Zhi’ai looked at her sideways, then looked away. Still holding the knife and cutting up vegetables, she answered softly, “Hmm?”
“Do you still remember Gu Yusheng?”
Qin Zhi’ai suddenly stopped cutting the vegetables, and she didn’t make a sound.
Xu Wennuan was picking at the vegetables with her head down, so she didn’t notice Qin Zhi’ai’s subtle reaction. She thought that Qin Zhi’ai wasn’t speaking because she had forgotten Gu Yusheng. Xu Wennuan continued, “He’s a heartthrob on our campus. His family is very rich, but he has a very strange temper… When I came back to Beijing to take you to dinner a few days ago, he was there.”
Qin Zhi’ai cut a piece of meat with her knife, saying in a natural tone, “I remember. So what?”
