Back Then, I Adored You

Qin Zhi'ai trembled in fear. She instinctively turned around to look at Gu Yusheng. His face was so gloomy that he seemed cold and distant.

Lu Bancheng stared at Gu Yusheng for a while and asked without thinking about it first, "What happened?"

After his question, Wu Hao kicked Lu Bancheng's leg under the table, hard. Lu Bancheng felt a sharp pain and asked, "F*ck, Haozi, what the f*ck are you doing to me? Why did you kick me?"

Lu Bancheng looked angry at Haozi but he noticed Wu Hao wink at him. Lu Bancheng swallowed his words down and turned around to look at Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi'ai. He seemed to understand what had happened and immediately shut his mouth.

The air at the table seemed to freeze.

Lu Bancheng couldn't stand such a depressed atmosphere, so he secretly nudged Wu Hao. Wu Hao understood Lu Bancheng's signal and rolled his eyes, clearing his throat to say, "Xiaokou, Brother Sheng has finished his soup."

"Okay," Qin Zhi'ai responded. She was scared and became extremely anxious by Gu Yusheng's look, so she didn't immediately understand Wu Hao's hint.

Gu Yusheng saw out of the corner of his eye that Qin Zhi'ai didn't do anything about his soup. The corners of his mouth stretched downward. He turned around to give her a dirty look, then kicked the chair back and walked out of the dining room with a gloomy expression.

After Gu Yusheng left, Lu Bancheng and Wu Hao didn't dare to stay any longer. They hurried to finish their lunch and stood up one after another to find Gu Yusheng.

Qin Zhi'ai was the only one left in the dining room at that moment. She sat there quietly for a long time before she recovered.

With her head down, she slowly finished the rice in her bowl before she started to pack up the leftovers on the table.

After the dishes were cleaned, Qin Zhi'ai heard Lu Bancheng's voice of from the living room as she wiped the dinner table with a cloth.

She thought to herself, "Hmm, so they haven't left yet."

She immersed herself in her thoughts for a few seconds with the cloth in her hand. She opened the cabinet and took out a tea set. She made a pot of hot tea and walked out of the dining room with it.

When she opened the door to the living room, the men's conversation became clearer.

As Qin Zhi'ai was about to walk out of the dining room with the tea pot, she heard Wu Hao's voice calling "Brother Sheng?"

After two seconds, Gu Yusheng casually responded with, "What?"

After getting a response from Gu Yusheng, Wu Hao immediately asked, "Did you notice that your wife looks a bit like my wife's good friend?"

Wu Hao's wife was actually Qin Zhi'ai's best friend, Xu Wennuan. Wu Hao and Xu Wennuan had not been married yet, but Wu Hao had liked to call Xu Wennuan his wife since back when they had been in high school.

Qin Zhi'ai's back tensed and she suddenly stopped walking.

She knew it was wrong to eavesdrop on others' conversations, but she still strained her ears to listen.

She wanted so badly to know if Gu Yusheng had remembered Qin Zhi'ai over the years.
