CH 54

Arriving at Times Squ*re, Gu Xia took out the US dollars he had exchanged in Chi*a and paid the driver. After getting the change, Gu Xia looked at the high-rise buildings in front of him. The city was really prosperous! It was worthy of being the country with the number one economy.

Gu Xia took out his mobile phone and dialed Tu Sisi’s number.

“Du…Du…Du.”

‘She’s not picking up? Haah…what’s happening with my luck today!’

When Tu Sisi didn’t answer the call again, Gu Xia put away the phone, thinking that she should be in class or something.

At that very moment, Tu Sisi was really attending a class, and her mobile phone was turned off and put in the pocket of her coat. She didn’t even know that Gu Xia had come to the US.

Gu Xia felt helpless, he was unfamiliar with the things around him, and he couldn’t speak English!

He was feeling hungry, and there was nothing he could do. Gu Xia walked along the road to see if there was a Chin*se restaurant or something. Otherwise, how would he order food in an Ameri*an restaurant?

But after walking around, he couldn’t find a single Chin*se restaurant. Gu Xia was feeling so hungry that his chest touched his back, and he began to regret not having the second meal on the plane. The first meal was just too bad, so Gu Xia didn’t eat the second meal. He thought about getting off the plane and going to eat something good with Tu Sisi, but who knew it would turn out like this!

Helpless, Gu Xia had to sit on the stool by the roadside, looking forward to seeing a Chin*se person, so that he or she could help him order dinner. Who knew that even after waiting for an hour, he did not see a Chin*se person! Gu Xia couldn’t help but doubt his life, it was 2008. Was there so few Chin*se in Ameri*a?

Suddenly, Gu Xia heard a waitress in a western restaurant close to him talking on the phone, she was speaking in Chin*se, and that made Gu Xia excited beyond words.

After the waitress finished her phone call, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Hello, I’m from Chi*a. I don’t speak English. Can you help me order some food inside?”

The waitress was stunned for a moment, then pointed at a table and smiled, “Okay! You can sit there, I’ll bring the menu.”

“Thank you, thank you so much!” Gu Xia said gratefully.

Gu Xia sat in the chair and sighed that it was really not easy to live abroad! 

‘I don’t know how Sisi lives here.’

“This is the menu. The restaurant has steaks, hamburgers, pasta… What do you want to eat?”

“Give me a hamburger, a curry beef rice, a glass of hot milk, thank you.”

Gu Xia didn’t know what to eat, so he just ordered the things that looked interesting.

Soon the food was delivered, Gu Xia devoured it quickly, and then leaned back on the chair and let out a burp full of satisfaction.

Although he was a little unaccustomed to the taste, it was far better than the meal on the plane.

“How much?” Gu Xia asked.

“A total of 47 dollars.”

Gu Xia took out a 100 dollar bill and handed it to her and said, “Thank you for helping just now, otherwise I would have starved.”

“You’re welcome.”

Gu Xia took the change, then smiled at her, waved goodbye, then picked up his suitcase and walked to the bench where the sunlight was shining. He waited for Tu Sisi to return his call.

It had to be mentioned that it wasn’t really very cold here in the US, Gu Xia was even sweating in the not-so-bright sun.

“Who do you think of when you’re alone~” The phone rang.

Gu Xia took out his mobile phone, and saw that it was a call from Tu Sisi.

[Hey~ Gu Xia, I was in class just now, and the phone was muted.] Tu Sisi explained.

“It’s alright~ have you gotten off the bus? When will you go home?” Gu Xia asked with a smile.

[Preparing to go back now? What’s wrong?]

“I’m in Times Square, and I’ll be waiting for you here.”

[Ah! You’re here? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?] Tu Sisi said in surprise.

“Hehe, I wanted to give you a surprise, let’s talk about it when you come here!” Gu Xia laughed.

[Okay~ Wait for me.]

“Hmm~”

After Tu Sisi hung up the phone, she was very excited. She hurriedly packed her things, and then quickly ran outside the school to get a taxi.

Hu Chao was behind her, and there was a haze on his face,

He heard the contents of Tu Sisi’s call and knew that her boyfriend had come to meet her. He felt helpless and unwilling to accept that he was unable to move Tu Sisi’s heart even after trying for so long. He really wanted to see the guy who captured Tu Sisi’s heart. So, he quickly chased after her and said to Tu Sisi, “Sisi, let’s go, I’ll take you there.”

“Eh! Alright.”

*****

In Times Square, Gu Xia looked bored as he looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street.

“Grrrrrm!”

A loud roar from a car engine was heard, and a beige Lamborghini came driving like a Spanish bull on the road.

Gu Xia glanced at it and didn’t think much of it. In this time period, Lamborghinis might be rare, but after a few years, this car would be seen everywhere, and would become quite common.

It was actually Hu Chao and Tu Sisi who were sitting in the car. Tu Sisi turned her head and looked around, searching for that familiar figure.

After searching the entire Times Squ*re, she finally saw the figure sitting on the bench with his head lowered. Tu Sisi hurriedly asked Hu Chao to stop next to him. Then she got out of the car and looked at the figure with some trepidation and excitement in her heart.

Tu Sisi walked forward and whispered, “Gu Xia~”

Gu Xia was looking down at the ants on the ground, when he suddenly heard that familiar voice calling out to him. His body froze, and he slowly raised his head, he narrowed his eyes due to the sunlight and looked at Tu Sisi. The person in front of him was wearing a white coat and was looking at him with a smile on her face.

Gu Xia stood up, spread out his arms, and took the cute person in front of him into his arms. He smiled and softly said, “Long time no see.”

Tu Sisi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, “Long time no see.”

The last time they said that was when the two had met each other for the first time after being reborn, and that time they parted unhappily. But this time the two met again after a long while, and their meaning was completely different.

“I missed you so much!”

“I missed you so much!”

The two spoke at the same time. After speaking, the two smiled at each other, and then looked at each other affectionately. Gu Xia swallowed his saliva, then held Tu Sisi’s face, and fiercely took her delicate red lips.

Tu Sisi also responded enthusiastically, and the two kissed passionately like they were the only ones in the world.

Hu Chao watched Tu Sisi kissing like that and felt very jealous. This was his dream scene! Just how many times had he kissed Tu Sisi affectionately in his dreams, but now the male lead was someone else! Hu Chao’s chest was burning with jealousy, he even had the urge to push the man away and kiss Tu Sisi himself.

Hu Chao looked at the man who was kissing Tu Sisi. He was not as handsome in appearance, nor rich in clothes. He crushed the guy in every aspect he could think of, but why didn’t Tu Sisi like him? 

‘I am so good to her, but why can’t I impress her?’

Hu Chao became more and more angry. He felt that if he continued to stay here, he would have the urge to kill. As he just stood there and was fed a copious amount of dog food. He was obviously rich and handsome. So why should he eat dog food? Then he angrily left the place. (G: Eating dog food has the similar connotation as eating vinegar.)
