Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the evening, Wen Yanqing went to have dinner with Lin Gantang. Lin Gantang suddenly wanted to eat spicy food, so Wen Yanqing ordered a few spicy dishes.
It was so spicy that Lin Gantang teared up, but she refused to stop until she was satisfied.
“Alright, eat it next time. Otherwise, the spiciness will make your stomach uncomfortable.” Lin Gantang rarely ate such spicy food. Wen Yanqing was worried that she would not be able to take it, so he could not help but pass her some water. “Let’s watch a movie later. Shi Jun has seen the new movie and said that it’s quite good.”
“He’s with Qin Jiayao?” Lin Gantang gulped down half a glass of water.
“Yes, it’s been a while. Qin Jiayao took care of Shi Jun while he was recuperating,” Wen Yanqing said.
Being together day and night, plus Shi Jun’s unforgettable feelings for Qin Jiayao, it was not surprising that the two of them got back together.
“Are you done with your work?”
Wen Yanqing nodded. “I’m done. I’ll deal with the rest after the New Year.”
Lin Gantang was very happy. “Come to my house some other day. My dad has been talking about you for a long time. But not tonight. It’ll be quite late after the movie. My dad should be resting by then.”
They went to the cinema after dinner. He led Lin Gantang while she pointed at the Ferris wheel in the distance with her other hand. She smiled and said that she would like to ride it again when they were free.
Wen Yanqing looked at her dimples and agreed, sweetness flowing silently between the two of them.
Feng Yangyang, who was in the crowd, clenched her bag tightly. Her fingertips turned white as ideas flew through her mind one after another.
Since Gu Zhichuan could not let go of Lin Gantang, she would just let Gu Zhichuan give up. The tender affection between Wen Yanqing and Lin Gantang would be enough to make him restrain his thoughts, right?
Feng Yangyang looked at their interlocking fingers and dialed Gu Zhichuan’s number, coaxing him out of the office.
Gu Zhichuan was weary of Feng Yangyang’s exaggerations and using her health as an excuse to get him to meet her.
After their relationship grew colder, Gu Zhichuan felt that it was a good thing to go out at this time. He wanted to make things clear and stop having any unnecessary entanglements.
After he was done with his business, he was stunned when he saw the address of Hejiang Square that Feng Yangyang had sent him because Lin Gantang’s bookstore was nearby.
He came very late, and Feng Yangyang waited alone outside the square, lonely and desolate. However, the moment she saw Gu Zhichuan, Feng Yangyang was in high spirits and ran towards him.
Gu Zhichuan stood half a step away from her. He retracted his hand from hers. “Why did you call me here?”
“You haven’t been with me for a long time. Today is my birthday. Can you accompany me for a night?”
Gu Zhichuan looked at her pleading expression. He did not agree, nor did he disagree. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll give you a gift. What do you like?”
Feng Yangyang heart ached. When she was together with him, he couldn’t remember any memorable days, let alone birthdays. The only thing he remembered was Ruan Ning’s death anniversary.
She wondered if he remembered Lin Gantang’s birthday when they had been together.
Feng Yangyang couldn’t help but compare herself to Lin Gantang. She knew that she was jealous.
She hid her negative emotions with a smile. “I don’t want any gifts. If you insist on giving me a present, you can give me cotton candy.”
A couple passed by. The girl was happily holding a pure-white cotton candy, and the cotton candy seller was not far away.
Gu Zhichuan was silent for a moment before he went over to buy the candy for her.
Feng Yangyang joyfully took it. “I know you’re busy, so I bought myself a birthday present. Look at my new earrings. Do they look good?”
There was a small and round pearl hanging from her earlobe, swaying with her movements.
It was only then that Gu Zhichuan noticed her outfit, and he seemed to have seen another person..
