Back Then, I Adored You

Chapter 46: The Little Trick Being Seen Through (6)

Being ordered by Nanny Zhang, Gu Yusheng looked over at Old Master Gu, who was laughing and talking to someone with a cane in his hand, but glancing at him secretly. Obviously, he was observing his reaction.

Gu Yusheng noticed, but he remained calm and emotionless. He turned around and stared at the steaming ginger tea in Nanny Zhang’s hands for several seconds. Then he directly took the porcelain cup and walked up the stairs with no response to Nanny Zhang.

Since Qin Zhi’ai had started to disguise herself as Liang Doukou, she had never stayed in the villa overnight, so it was the first time for her to enter the bedroom prepared by Old Master Gu for her and Gu Yusheng.

Being alone in the room was boring. Qin Zhi’ai was lying on the bed with the earbuds in, looking around the room.

This was probably the room where Gu Yusheng had lived in when he was in school, for there were many awards and trophies, including every grade.

Almost no photos were displayed in his room. Qin Zhi’ai looked around and finally saw a group photo on the bedside table.

It was Gu Yusheng’s high school graduation photo.

Qin Zhi’ai found Gu Yusheng in the middle of the last row at first sight out of over forty students in the same uniform.

His skin was bright and the photo was taken outdoors on the playground, so it looked like like his skin was glowing.

All the students in the photo were smiling towards the camera, but he was staring to his left with an absent-minded look.

The look reminded Qin Zhi’ai of his reaction on the night he took her home and she stammered, “Are… are you free tomorrow? I… I… I want… to ask you to go see a movie with me.”

At that time, he was frozen, since he had never expected her to ask anyone out.

However, she realized what she had done after saying that, so she blushed and stared at Gu Yusheng like a fool.

She remembered clearly that at that moment, he had been staring in one direction absentmindedly like he was in the phonto.

The silence between the young boy and girl lasted for a long time, until she recovered and lowered her head shyly.

She grabbed her clothes nervously and waited for a while. Seeing that he was still not going to respond, she felt disappointed.

Was she being rejected by him?

An unspeakable disappointment swept her in an instant; she was about to cry and run into the building, but he blinked after a long time of standing there frozen and said, “What time?”
