Back Then, I Adored You

If it had been Liang Doukou, she would have been thrilled to agree, wouldn't she?

Qin Zhi'ai looked down to hide her sadness. She tried to curl her lips up. "Okay."

"I'll contact Dr. Xia and ask him what we should pay attention to during your pregnancy," Gu Yusheng said.

"Okay." Qin Zhi'ai couldn't take it anymore. She was worried that Gu Yusheng would continue to talk about this subject, and she had wanted to change the subject after she responded to him. They walked by the place where he had shot at the criminals with Qin Yang's gun. Qin Zhi'ai pointed at the café they had visited before and said, "You were amazing that day."

Qin Zhi'ai didn't realize she might have rubbed salt into Gu Yusheng's wound until she finished her comment.

Why had she suddenly switched to that subject? Wasn't she just making him think about the dreams he had been forced to give up?

Qin Zhi'ai turned slightly to look at Gu Yusheng instinctively. Just as she had thought, Gu Yusheng's mind looked far away at the window he was hiding behind.

Qin Zhi'ai felt bad for him. She went quiet for a few seconds before she continued, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up."

Gu Yusheng recovered his composure and slowly looked away from the window. He smiled at Qin Zhi'ai to reassure her he was okay and said, "I'm fine." He held her hand as they walked up the stairs.

Even though Gu Yusheng had said he was fine, Qin Zhi'ai still glanced at him a few times to make sure he was really okay.

Their talk about him shooting the criminal made Qin Zhi'ai think of him drinking and smoking heavily whenever he was in a bad mood.

She was going to leave soon. She wondered if Liang Doukou could take a good care of him when he was in a bad mood after Liang Doukou got switched back.

Qin Zhi'ai knew Gu Yusheng would have nothing to do with her in the future. It was no longer her business, but she still asked, "Gu Yusheng?"

"Yeah?" Gu Yusheng responded.

"Smoking isn't good for you. Don't smoke too much. Try to smoke less, even when you're in a bad mood. It would be great if you could quit smoking, too," Qin Zhi'ai said.

Had she just shown her care for him? Gu Yusheng curled up the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay."

"And don't drink too much. That's not good for you either. Don't drink and drive. It's too easy to get into a car accident."

Lu Bancheng had talked to Gu Yusheng about the same things, but he had felt annoyed when he had heard Lu Bancheng say them. However, he felt warm when Qin Zhi'ai said the same things.

Gu Yusheng turned around and smiled at Qin Zhi'ai. As before, he answered without any hesitation, "Okay."

Back when she had just moved into the house, she had desperately wanted to see him smile like he had when he was younger.

However, he had always given her an angry and annoyed face. He had finally smiled, but this was their end already.

Qin Zhi'ai felt so hurt. She immediately lowered her head with her lips curled down. She looked around and pointed at the empty plaza, then said something confusing. "Gu Yusheng, can I sing you a song?"

Gu Yusheng was surprised by her idea. He paused for a second before he answered with excitement, "Sure."

Since Gu Yusheng had agreed, Qin Zhi'ai held Gu Yusheng's hand and walked to the plaza.

She pointed at a bench in the plaza and motioned him to take a seat there. She took out her cell phone and ran to the center of the square, stopping in front of the fountain, which was right in front of Gu Yusheng. She searched for the music of the song she was going to sing and clicked on it.
