That night, they ended up staying there for a full two hours.
By the time Gu Yu Sheng sent Qin Zhi Ai home, it was already 12pm.
That night, Gu Yusheng did not send Qin Zhiai home on his bike as he had previously, but in a car from his garage.
At that point, Qin Zhiai didn’t know much about cars, and merely felt that that car looked extremely stylish and cool. It was only after many years that she found out that the car was an Audi, one car costing several a good several million RMB.
After they arrived at the ground floor of the building of Qi Zhiai’s house, Qin Zhi Ai pushed open the car door, said ‘See you later’ to Gu Yu Sheng, got off the car and closed the door. Just when she had taken two steps towards the building, the window of the car behind her rolled down, and she heard Gu Yu Sheng’s voice, “Xiao Zuo Ai?” [TN: Xiao Zuo-Ai means “Little Make-Love”]
Even though he had already called her “Xiao Zuo Ai” many times that night, her face still turned red every time. With her back still facing him, she paused her steps, too embarrassed to turn around to look at him.
She heard him push open the car door and light a cigarette with a lighter. After around half a minute, his voice came from behind her, “I’m really sorry for missing the movie last time. I was delayed because of a situation at home.”
This evening, it wasn’t that Qin Zhi Ai hadn’t considered asking him why he didn’t come that day, but she was afraid that he had only agreed to go with her in passing and hadn’t even kept their date in mind in the first place. That was why, even though she had wanted to ask several times, she couldn’t build up the courage to ask. Now that he had suddenly given her an explanation, a trace of joy sprang up in her heart.
“If you have no plans this Sunday, let’s go to watch a movie in the afternoon at 3:30pm again.”
Before Qin Zhi Ai had the time turn around to look at Gu Yu Sheng, he had spoken again.
He was inviting her to watch a movie in the weekend at 3:30pm.
The joy in the depths of Qin Zhi Ai’s heart instantly blossomed like millions of flowers.
She was too happy, so happy that for a short while she even forgot answer him. He called her again, “Xiao Zuo Ai, so do you have time on Sunday or not?”
“I do!” She answered instinctively. It was only after she replied that realised that how ruffled she had sounded. From behind her, she heard the sound of his low heartbeat, and her face immediately turned slightly red. She bashfully said “See you on Sunday”, and rushed towards the building. She hadn’t even run two steps before he grabbed her by her wrist, squeezed a slip of paper into her palm, and said, “This is my phone number, so you’ll have a way to contact me if something comes up.”
His scalding palm made her whole body feeling it was burning. She threw off his hand from her wrist, expressed her understanding with an “Oh”, and gripped the slip of paper in hand a bit tighter.
He stood there without saying a word.
She hung her head, and stood in front of him for a while before saying, “I’m going in now.”
He didn’t say a word, and after waiting for half a minute, she took a step.
Just as she was passing him, he called to her again, “Xiao Zuo Ai?”
