Chapter 138: A Mysterious Letter (8)

Qin Zhi’ai was shocked, and the car keys in her hand fell between her fingers onto her ankle, causing a sharp pain.

She lowered her head instinctively, reached out to touch her ankle, then picked up the car keys.

When she got up and looked back in the rearview mirror, she saw Gu Yusheng had already arrived at the driver’s seat of his car. He said something to Xiaowang, and Xiaowang nodded to him. Then Gu Yusheng took several steps back and stood on the sidewalk, and Xiaowang turned the steering wheel to back up the car, then turned around and left.

Gu Yusheng didn’t get in the car, and Xiaowang just drove away, then he…

As she thought, Qin Zhi’ai saw Gu Yusheng walking slowly toward her car with one hand in his pocket. He stopped by the driver’s seat. First, he reached out to pull the door handle, but failed, then raised his hand to knock on the window, making a squeaky sound.

Just then, Qin Zhi’ai finally recovered from her daze and unlocked the door in a hurry.

Gu Yusheng pulled the door open, leaned into the car, and turned his head to gaze at her for a while, then asked, “What are you doing here?”

In fact, she had come to her high school under her real identity as Qin Zhi’ai, so she definitely couldn’t tell him the real reason she was here, the letters… After thinking for a short while, she answered, “Well, it’s a lovely day, so I just drove around and happened to pass by here. Since I studied in this school for three years, I just stopped to have a look around.”

“Hm.” Gu Yusheng seemed to believe her, and responded with a simple word.

After a short moment, he opened his mouth again, saying, “Are you okay now?”

In Qin Zhi’ai’s impression,, it was the first time that Gu Yusheng had talked to her in such a peaceful way since she had disguised herself as Liang Doukou.

Besides, what he asked was if she was okay.

Does he care about me?

Qin Zhi’ai felt the obvious fluctuation of her emotions, and even the fingers of the hand she grasped the car keys in trembled. After quite a while, she suppressed the boiling delight and surprise in her chest, then answered him in a flat tone, “Yeah, I’m okay now.”

“Yeah,” said Gu Yusheng. Then came a moment of silence, because he seemingly didn’t know what to say next.

Neither did Qin Zhi’ai, so she also kept silent.

With only him and her in such a small space, the silence made the situation even more awkward.

As Qin Zhi’ai was racking her wits to figure out a topic to break such an embarrassing situation, the dismissal bell sounded in the school, and the students started swarming out. The uniforms hadn’t changed at all over the past years and was still as the same as before when she was in high school.

The streets that had been relatively silent were now bustling all of a sudden.

Gu Yusheng stared at the uniform on the students running for a while, then suddenly withdrew his eyes and asked Qin Zhi’ai, “Are you free later?”

Upon hearing his sudden question, Qin Zhi’ai immediately nodded her head without thinking twice, saying, “Yes.”
