The corner of Ding Shaonan's lips that had just curled up suddenly froze in mid-air. When she entered, Ding Shaonan felt that the aftertaste of the new renovation had not dissipated, so the door of the Japanese private room was deliberately left open. Zhou Xueling followed his line of sight and was stunned when she saw the two people who were being led to the next room by the waiter through the half-covered curtain. He did not expect the world to be so small. Du Luxuan, who was about to go out for dinner, saw Gu Qiqi in a daze in the lobby of the newspaper office on the first floor. He simply asked her if she had eaten and if she wanted to have dinner with him. At that time, Gu Qiqi remembered that she had something to tell Du Luxuan about Li Tong, so she did not refuse. Just like that, this scene was created.
The moment Gu Qiqi and Ding Shaonan's eyes met, she saw Zhou Xueling sitting beside him. And that touch of gentleness that had yet to be removed from Ding Shaonan's lips.
It was so familiar, yet so far away.
Everything had ended with that woman's light words." What right do you have to fight with Xue Ling?"”Her words were still ringing in her ears. From then on, her world collapsed. There was no longer any possibility of happiness.
Gu Qiqi stopped in her tracks and almost lost her balance. Du Luxuan's palm landed on her shoulder just in time, as if he was leaning on her warmly and firmly. His palm conveyed her direction. However, her throat was still so hard that she could not speak. She did not hear Du Luxuan's voice either. It seemed that she only nodded at them and walked away with her in her arms. By the time she came back to her senses, she was already sitting in another room with Du Luxuan, looking at each other wordlessly.
Du Luxuan carefully heated the cutlery for Gu Qiqi with hot tea, then helped her arrange them properly one by one. When the dishes were served, he helped her put on a cloth. He also picked up a piece of raw fish and didn't repeat those complicated procedures. He only dipped it in some wasabi. When it was about to reach his mouth, he suddenly stopped and sighed slightly.
"Qiqi, last night…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Qiqi lowered her head and replied,""…I know."
Seeing Du Luxuan's stunned expression, Gu Qiqi's eyes remained calm as she said,""You said that Shaonan was your childhood friend and only separated after he went to America to study. That was when I remembered you."
Speaking of Zhou Xueling, Gu Qiqi was no stranger to her. It could be said that they had a deep friendship.
In fact, Gu Qiqi and Zhou Xueling's acquaintance should be traced back to junior high school. At that time, Gu Qiqi was the class monitor. She had a carefree and straightforward personality like a boy. The two of them sat next to each other and often teased Zhou Xueling like the other students. One day, on the way home after school, she bumped into Zhou Xueling, who was squatting at the side. At that time, Gu Qiqi had parked her bicycle at the side and walked up to ask,"
"Why are you here? Isn't your family coming to pick you up?"
When she looked up, her face was covered in tears, and when she saw that it was Gu Qiqi, Zhou Xueling cried out in surprise. Gu Qiqi was shocked.
"Gu Qiqi, my leg is injured. It hurts…"
Gu Qiqi hurriedly went over to help her up and saw the blood on Zhou Xueling's calf. She helped her to her bicycle and comforted her,"
"It's okay, it's okay. My house is just nearby. I'll drive you back to my house first and apply some medicine on it. Then, I'll call your family and ask them to pick you up, okay?”
At that time, Zhou Xueling could only nod repeatedly.
After that incident, their relationship became especially intimate. However, she did not expect Gu Qiqi to lead a different life because of that incident.
