Back Then, I Adored You

Qin Zhi'ai hesitated.

Gu Yusheng pulled Qin Zhi'ai to the light pole and gave her a look to challenge her into trying. He walked away a bit on purpose and turned around s his back was facing Qin Zhi'ai.

Qin Zhi'ai stared at Gu Yusheng's back for a few seconds before she picked up the pen and wrote something on the money.

As she had just put down her pen, Gu Yusheng seemed to notice something by intuition. He slightly tilted his head and asked, "Are you done?"

"Yes," Qin Zhi'ai responded in a low voice. She rolled the money up.

Gu Yusheng walked back over to Qin Zhi'ai. He casually pointed at the stores not far from them and said, "Pick one."

Qin Zhi'ai tilted her head in thought for a while and picked a 24-hour convenience store.

Gu Yusheng signaled her to go in first, but he stood under the light post, then he walked to the pharmacy next to the convenience store after he saw her through the glass door bringing two beverages to the cashier.

Gu Yusheng grabbed two boxes of bandages. When he passed the money to the cashier, he looked down at the it and saw the words written on it. It was written in cursive, so it looked very obvious on the paper.

"Little troublemaker, I'm in love with you."

In a few hours, he would tell her that with the ring Lu Bancheng had brought from overseas. As he was about to write something different on the money, he had written that sentence down instead.

The world was large. The money with his handwriting might circulate for one, five, ten years, or even fifty years before it could come back to her again. She might not even see that same bill at all in her lifetime.

It was such a romantic game that he had wanted to play it with her.

If she saw that money again one day, she would be able to remember her old time with him. She would be touched by it, wouldn't she?

Thinking of this, there was a soft look on his face.

"Sir, it's fifteen dollars in total." This was already second time the cashier had reminded him to pay.

Gu Yusheng immediately passed the money to the cashier. After about half a minute, he walked out of the pharmacy with the bandages and change.

…

It was almost three o'clock in the morning when they got home.

After taking a shower, Qin Zhi'ai hid herself in the bathroom to put on makeup. When she came out of the bathroom, she turned off the lights and crawled onto the bed. Gu Yusheng, who had been laying on the bed, immediately pressed his body on top of hers.

It might have been because they'd had such a passionate kiss in the plaza near the pedestrian street, but the heat he had felt back then had seemed to stay with him a bit. He couldn't wait to strip her clothes off. Before she was ready, he had already taken her body.

He had sex with her for a long time and didn't immediately leave her body after he came. Instead, he kept himself inside her to feel her warmth.

His heavy breaths had evened out a little, but they became irregular again as he gently pressed his lips on her. He turned around as he held her by the waist, changed their position, and started all over again.

After they finally finished, Qin Zhi'ai fell into a sound sleep within a minute.

Gu Yusheng laid next to her on bed. After he heard her regular breathing, he turned on his side to take a look at her and then quietly flipped the blanket off of himself to get off the bed. He walked to the closet and changed into casual clothes. After he changed his clothes, he quietly grabbed his wallet before he opened the bedroom door. He quietly went downstairs to the garage.

Gu Yusheng was worried he would wake Qin Zhi'ai up, so he drove very slowly out of the gated community before he sped up and drove away.
