Back Then, I Adored You

She kept her head down, not looking at Lu Bancheng. The way she looked down and slightly shook her head made her look obedient and cute. She looked different than usual, not her usual scared and timid look.

Gu Yusheng frowned harder. He could barely hear her talking to Gu Bancheng.

She talked in a low pitch and he couldn't hear it clearly. He strained his ears to focus, but he still could barely hear any blurry words, only catching words like "not." He had already felt annoyed and suddenly felt even more annoyed. Everything became annoying to him at that moment.

He suppressed his anger and turned his eyes away from them. He laid his eyes on the bay window.

The lights reflecting on the window made it function like a mirror. It showed Gu Bancheng and Qin Zhi'ai on it.

Gu Bancheng still held Qin Zhi'ai's arm while she talked to him with her head down.

Gu Yusheng wondered what they really needed to talk about and what was taking her so long to answer a simple question.

Gu Yusheng's anger was not released. Instead, it was ignited to its highest point the next second. He rushed to the door and yelled, "Didn't I tell you to f*cking go home? What the f*ck are you still standing there for?"

Qin Zhi'ai actually had not said much to Gu Bancheng. She had only answered his questions out of courtesy. She had only replied, "I'm ok. I'm not hurt. Thank you."

Qin Zhi'ai was emotional. She was afraid of losing herself and crying. She didn't want to be caught crying as she talked to Lu Bancheng. She talked very slowly, hoping Lu Bancheng wouldn't notice her trying to control herself from crying out.

She didn't expect Gu Yusheng to scold her before she could even finish those simple sentences.

She was so shocked. Her last "you" was stuck on her tongue and wouldn't come out.

Gu Yusheng had given her a hard time quite a few times, but this was the first time he was doing it in front of others. Qin Zhi'ai's eyes were sore. When she blinked, tears fell down her face.

She pulled her arm away from Lu Bancheng. She ran out before she could even express her appreciation to him.

Lu Bancheng took a look at Qin Zhi'ai's back before he turned around to look at Gu Yusheng in the room.

Gu Yusheng looked cold. His furrowed eyebrows showed the gloominess on his handsome face.

When Gu Yusheng had this kind of look on his face, Lu Bancheng was a little worried. Lu Bancheng said in a low pitch, "Brother Sheng, if you don't want to see her, you can just ask her to leave. You didn't have to make her feel so awkward and ashamed. She's a girl. You can't be so rude to her."

Gu Yusheng thought how he treated her had nothing to do with Lu Bancheng. He irritatedly interrupted Lu Bancheng, not caring if it was impolite, "And you, go do whatever you need to do! Don't annoy me."

Lu Bancheng didn't leave immediately. He paused for a few seconds, wanting to say something. However, before he made any sound, Gu Yusheng grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it at the door. "Don't you understand me? What are you doing, standing there?"

Lu Bancheng ran away before Gu Yusheng's pillow reached the door.
