Lu Chengzhou bowed respectfully and left.
Gu Mang hummed and frowned. “Still don’t know what to eat.”
Hearing that, Lu Chengzhou smiled lightly. “Eat at World Restaurant. I’ll reserve a seat for you.”
Gu Mang raised her pretty eyebrows. “Mmh.”
She pulled her note, sounding like she was in a rather good mood.
Gu Mang hung up the phone and put it in her pocket. She put her hand on Meng Jinyang’s shoulder and tugged at Meng Jinyang’s chin with her fingers. “Let’s go and eat at World Restaurant.”
Meng Jinyang’s chin felt ticklish. She dodged to the side and smiled. “Sure.”
Before Lu Yang left, he looked at the long haired girls off to the side. He laughed cynically. “Help me inform everyone at Experimental High School to try to mess with Sister Mang in the future.”
The long haired girls were a little scared. They did not speak up.
“Did you hear me?” Lu Yang raised his voice suddenly.
The long haired girls shivered and nodded. Lu Yang had a troubled background. He always caused trouble and started fights. No one dared to mess with his people at either school. Was his relationship with Gu Mang that good?
Seeing them nod, Lu Yang smiled and waved at Qin Yaozhi. “Missy, Shen Huan, time to have our meals.”
Qin Yaozhi nodded and shouted at Gu Mang. “Sister Mang, wait for me!”
The boys and girls turned around and walked towards Gu Mang. The scenery had changed. Even after a few minutes everyone had not regained composure. They were all silent. The assistant picked up a call from the director and hurried over to Sheng Ting. “Brother Ting, the director wants us to hurry up and return to film.”
Sheng Ting did not react. He was still looking at Gu Mang’s back. After a few seconds, he looked away and turned around to leave. The bodyguard made way for him all the way to the front of the crowd. The fans around retreated and looked at Sheng Ting, then at Gu Mang. That lady left before Sheng Ting. Also, her attitude towards Sheng Ting was not as friendly as her attitude towards the person who had called her.
…
After having their meal at World Restaurant, the group parted ways at Starlight Plaza and left for home. Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang did not return to their hostel. They called for a cab and returned to Seal Palace.
They stood at the entrance of the condominium. When she took out her black and gold card, she turned around to look at the shut door across from her and she raised her eyebrows. Meng Jinyang pulled the door open and saw her expression unintentionally. Her gaze brushed past Lu Chengzhou who was at the back. Then she bit his lip and smiled.
She wondered what Mr Lu’s expression would be like if he knew that Gu Mang lived just across from him. Meng Jinyang came out from the shower and did not see Gu Mang in the living room. She looked towards the balcony.
Gu Mang was leaning against the railings, biting a thin cigarette. Her head was tilted nonchalantly and she was playing mobile games. Meng Jinyang went to the kitchen to get a cup of water for Gu Mang. She mixed some honey in it and walked towards Gu Mang with it in hand. She stood beside Gu Mang and watched as her fingers glid across the screen.
“There are so many people playing this game in our class. Shen Huan even taught me how but I still don’t get it.” Meng Jinyang said as she looked at the screen.
Gu Mang played a lot of games. She knew how to play anything. PC games, mobile games, she could grasp all of them. She played shooting games the most often. Meng Jinyang wanted to learn so that she could accompany her in the future but she just could not get it.
Gu Mang killed someone and removed the cigarette from her mouth. She extinguished it in an ashtray and spoke slowly. “I’ll teach you next time.”
“Sure.” Meng Jinyang smiled and handed her the glass of honey water. She thought of something. “Gu Mang, are you returning to town tomorrow morning?”
Actually, she had to return to clean the grave of her parents on Chinese New Year. It was because she only had one day of leave, so she postponed it to this staggered holiday week.
Gu Mang did not take the drink, instead looking at the drink. Meng Jinyang fed her a few sips helplessly. Gu Mang turned back to the game. She did not even lift her head.
She said, “Mmh, are you returning to school tomorrow or are you coming here?”
