Back Then, I Adored You

Will he want anything to do with me?

There was a saying that went, "my biggest fear is that the only the word you leave me with will mean nothing to you."

In the past years, it had been such a happy period of time for him and her that she had even thought he liked her. She had almost confessed her affections deep inside, but then she had turned out to be a nobody with nothing to do with him.

This was the second time that he had used "nobody" to describe her.

She had long known that he didn't remember her. However, no matter how many times she heard him say things like that, she still felt hurt every time he did.

Qin Zhi'ai didn't know how long she sat there, but she didn't recover until Xu Wennuan ran over from Wu Hao's side and sat next to her. Then she felt the wetness in her eyes, and her vision seemed to blur.

To prevent Xu Wennuan from noticing that she had almost cried, Qin Zhi'ai quickly lowered her head. She took the fruit juice from the table and drank it in one gulp to press down the burning sadness in the chest. Then she managed to squeeze a smile onto her face, moved closer to Xu Wennuan, and started catching up with her.

Due to sadness, she obviously spoke less. Most of the time, it was Xu Wennuan who continued to chatter.

During funny stories, Qin Zhi'ai tried very hard to laugh, but while she was laughing, she could feel the wetness coming again.

She didn't want to behave improperly while still in the room, so she left the busy room with the excuse of using the bathroom.

Qin Zhi'ai stayed in the toilet for a very long time, then went back into the room.

Seeing her return, Xu Wennuan immediately left Wu Hao alone to rush to her. She sat with her arm in arm and continued the topic she had been on before she had left, giggling and laughing.

Gu Yusheng stayed in the same place, but Lu Bancheng had left. He leaned against the sofa, tapping on his phone. After several minutes, he stood up, took his jacket, and said to Wu Hao, "I have things to do, so I have to go."

All the people who were having fun immediately stopped and said goodbye to him.

"Brother Sheng, are you leaving now?"

"Brother Sheng, stay with us!"

...

"Brother Sheng, did you change your phone number?" The man in blue sitting by the door stood up with his phone in hand.

Gu Yusheng stopped moving with one hand in his pants pocket. In a gesture of laziness, he asked, "Which one?"

"That... 152..." The man in blue only seemed to remember the first three numbers, for he looked in his contacts as he spoke.

Before he found the number, Gu Yusheng had already named seven numbers casually, "152-**56?"

Qin Zhi'ai, who was sitting not too far away Gu Yusheng, suddenly raised her head after hearing the seven numbers and looked at Gu Yusheng.

She couldn't have been more familiar with those seven numbers. She could even recite them backwards correctly.

This was the phone number that he had given her years ago, but it was two numbers different from the one on the note she had been given by him... The last two numbers that he had just said were five then six, but the ones on the note were six then five.

"Yes... That's it," the man in blue answered.
