Marriage Concerto (Small Thing Called Love) - Chapter 82

Chapter 82

Chapter 82 – Extra 6: Gu Xin’s Day .

It was 6:45 in the morning when Gu Xin woke up .

The early morning sunshine seeped into the spacious bedroom through the thick curtains at the windows, bringing about a gloomy atmosphere .

Gu Xin rose from the bed, simultaneously picking up a pair of jeans as he walked up bare-naked to part open the window curtains .

Having lost its obstruction, the light instantly illuminated Gu Xin’s body . He lifted his hand and parted his hair to one side as he gazed out the window . He then turned around and headed towards his wardrobe .

Gu Xin didn’t have plans to record a song today; he intended to dedicate the entire day to compose a new song .

He selected a black t-shirt to put on and then went on the treadmill for a run .

By the time Gu Xin’s morning exercise ended, it turned 8:00 sharp . He went to his refrigerator and took out a large carton of milk . While doing so, he discovered that his fridge was nearly empty .

When Gu Xin finished his breakfast, he picked up his keys which laid on the table and went out to get food to refill his fridge .

Near Gu Xin’s house was a convenience store . Since not many people frequented this convenience store in particular, Gu Xin felt secure with leaving the house with just a hat on .

When opening the doors into the convenience store, the bells above rang crisply . Behind the cash register stood a short-haired female, who spoke up in a sweet tone: “Welcome . ”

Gu Xin swept a glance at her; it was not someone he recognized . It was probably a new employee . Her appearance was not bad; it was as sweet as her voice .

Gu Xin walked towards the food section . After getting the items he needed, he went towards the cash register for check-out .

“Hello, that will be a total of 483 yuan . [1]” Although she was a new employee, she performed rather skillfully . It did not take long for her to total up Gu Xin’s items .

Gu Xin dug out his credit card and handed it over to the cashier[2] . When the cashier took the card into her cards, a feeling of shock jolted through her body: “You are…”

“I am not . ” Gu Xin lowered his hat .

The girl blinked a few; she didn’t pursue the matter any further . After receiving the payment, the girl returned Gu Xin his credit card along with a receipt .

When Gu Xin exited the store with his shopping bags, the bells above the door rang out once again .

As Gu Xin walked along the streets, luxurious looking cars would past by at the side from time to time . At front, there were four or five high school girls dressed up with cakes and various gifts in their hands, laughing and talking as they walked towards Gu Xin .

Gu Xin subconsciously lowered his hat as much as possible . If he were to turn around now, it would appear too suspicious . Gu Xin pretended to not pay them any attention as he walked past .

But when the girls noticed the man, the tone of their voices increased .

Gu Xin thought that even if he wasn’t wearing the uniform he tends to wear on stage, he would still raise shrieks and shrills from girls .

“Wow, look there . That boy is so tall . ”

“Yeah yeah, at least 1 . 85 meters[3]?”

“Great figure, long legs, slim waistline . ”

One after another, the girls’ voices drifted into Gu Xin’s ears . Gu Xin remained calm as they walked closer and closer .

As the distance became shorter, the girls’ gazes on Gu Xin became more and more meticulous . Before both parties could even walk past one another, the girl holding a cake suddenly shouted out: “It’s Gu Xin!”

Right then and there, there was no hesitation; Gu Xin immediately turned around and ran .

These fans, high school girls, were the most troublesome . Gu Xin had experienced this more than once .

However, in this time’s escape, it seemed like other girls who were sitting nearby overheard the commotion and, too, joined in on the chase .

There were only a few pedestrians who had no idea what was going on and cluelessly observed the ruckus .

As Gu Xin ran down the street at a rapid pace, he unwittingly entered the same convenience store he had been in just moments ago .

“Wel……” The girl behind the cash register didn’t even utter a whole word, staggeringly moving her mouth to change her speech: “Mister, have you dropped something?”

Gu Xin hurriedly rushed to her front, asking: “Is there a place that I can hide for a bit?” After he finished asking, he turned and went towards the direction of the restroom before the other could even reply .

Gu Xin felt that it would be a piece of cake to avoid his fans by hiding in the restrooms .

“Wait, how about you enter our lounge area . ” The girl behind the cash register shouted at Gu Xin, quickly dashing towards the lounge and opening its door for him .

Gu Xin glanced at the girl, before stepping into the lounge and locking the door from behind .

When the girl returned to the cash register, the female fans who were chasing Gu Xin arrived into the store .

“Welcome . ” The girl politely greeted them, her smiling expression impeccable .

The cake-holding high school girl came up to the cashier, impatiently asking: “Have you seen Gu Xin?”

The cashier blinked her eyes: “Gu Xin? It’s that banana donut over there . It was endorsed by him . ” The cashier pointed a finger to a shelf at her left side . “There’s even a picture of him on the wrapping . ”

High School Girl: “……”

She took a deep breath, then spoke: “I’m talking about the actual person . ”

Cashier: “I haven’t seen him in real life . Will he be doing some concerts towards the end of the year?”

High School Girl: “……”

This cashier’s IQ… other than work, does she not have anything else on her mind? And it’s just cashiering![4]

It may be best to switch up the question: “Have you seen a tall, lean boy who was wearing a hat along with a black t-shirt and black jeans?”

Cashier: “Oh! I’ve seen him! He came here to shop just recently!”

The high school girl looked as if she finally found some hope: “And then?”

“Then he just ran off . ” The cashier pointed her finger towards the outside of the convenience store; the main road .

The high school girl looked at the cashier for a while, then chuckled: “I beg your pardon, where would the restrooms be? May I use it?”

The cashier nodded: “Of course . ”

The cashier pointed towards the restroom for her .

The high school girl had her classmate hold onto her cake for her before she entered the restroom . Not long after, she exited the restroom with an impatient expression: “He’s not in there, perhaps he really did run off . Hurry and chase!”

And thus, several high school girls flocked out of the convenience store .

The cashier watched the backs of the girls hurrying out . She let out a sigh and shook her head .

She went towards the lounge entrance and knocked on the door: “Mister, they’ve left . You can come out . ”

The unlocking of the door sounded out and Gu Xin walked out of the lounge .

The girl raised her head and looked at him, laughing: “So you are actually Gu Xin?”

Gu Xin laughed back, responding: “Sorry . ”

The girl didn’t mind: “You should quickly leave, who knows if your fans will come back . ”

“Ok, thank you……” He swept a glance across the girl’s name tag . “Miss Chen Shishi . ”

Chen Shishi has heard her name thousands of times before, but when the name came out of this man’s mouth, she felt her heart skip a beat . She even felt her cheeks slightly flushed .

Gu Xin let out a small chuckle as he began exiting the store, but after a few steps he turned back around, landing his gaze on the girl .

Gu Xin recalled that about now should be nearing the time for the convenience store’s employees to switch shifts .

“Wha- what is it?” Miss Chen Shishi was at a lost under Gu Xin’s gaze .

Gu Xin raised the corners of his lips and lifted up the shopping bags he had in his hand . He then asked:

“Do you like eating curry rice?”

[2]顾信掏出一张卡递了过去 (It just saids “card” . It can be a check, credit card, anything qwq! I just settled with credit card because I believe in China, customers would hand their credit cards to the cashier for them to swipe it on the machine . But it can also just be an identification card, since security is very strict in some parts of China, even if you are just buying food . )
