Back Then, I Adored You

“Ms. Gu?” Lu Bancheng looked quite confused. After a while, he seemed to understand. He turned around to take a look at Gu Yusheng and asked, “Liang Doukou?”

“Yes, I mean Ms. Liang.” Ms. Lu nodded, looked around, searching for Liang Doukou, but didn’t see her. She sighed again, “Did you drop Ms. Gu off at home and come back?”

“No, Ms. Zhang, are you sure you mean Liang Doukou? Brother Sheng has been here the whole afternoon, he never left.” Lu Bancheng was confused by Ms. Lu.

“Uh? Didn’t Master Gu go to pick Ms. Gu up? Then how would Ms. Gu get home?” This time, it was Ms. Lu’s turn to be shocked.

Lu Bancheng had been confused and became even more confused at this moment. “Why couldn’t Liang Doukou go home? What happened?”

“We were at Jin Yu Spa this afternoon. Ms. Gu didn’t drive to the spa. When we were ready to leave, it rained heavily. She said Master Gu would pick her up. When I left, Ms. Gu hadn’t left yet. When I saw Master Gu here, I thought Master Gu had brought Ms. Gu here. I didn’t know Master Gu never went to pick up Ms. Gu. It must be hard to call a cab with such heavy rain. I don’t know if Ms. Gu got back yet.”

Gu Yusheng heard the conversation between Gu Bancheng and Ms. Lu. He had looked calm. The look on his face didn’t change a bit. It seemed as if the person they talked about had nothing to do with him.

When Ms. Lu saw the look on Gu Yusheng’s face, she had the urge to say something. Lu Bancheng, sitting next to Gu Yusheng, gave her a look, so she immediately shut her mouth. She stood next to Master Gu for a while and didn’t see any response from him. She wanted to say something but only sighed and left after she gave it a little thought. She decided not to bother with other people’s business.

The rain seemed to be heavy outside the window. Rain pitter-pattered on the window with wind.

After a round of poker, Lu Bancheng turned his head slightly and glanced at Gu Yusheng from the corner of his eye.

Gu Yusheng was quietly playing with his phone. He wasn’t sure what he was doing on the phone, but Gu Yusheng didn’t look concerned or worried.

Lu Bancheng moved his lips and looked like he wanted to say something but ended up staying silent.

After another round of poker, when they shuffled the cards, there was more lightning in the sky, turning the dark night into bright day, then a peal of thunder.

Lu Bancheng frowned and turned around to take a look at Gu Yusheng, who played with his lighter emotionlessly. Lu Bancheng couldn’t help asking in a low pitch, “Do you want to give her a call to see if she got home safely?”
