After dinner, it was already dark. Ye Qiuqiu said that she was going to visit Mr. Lin and dragged Lin Gantang to a fruit stall to buy a fruit basket.
Lin Gantang didn't even look at the apples and grapes. "It's better to buy two catties of mangosteens than to be too formal."
"I didn't buy it for you." Ye Qiuqiu was disgusted.
Wasn't it the same? Anyway, it all ended up in her stomach.
Lin Gantang couldn't be bothered to refute this.
The two of them entered the hospital side by side.
At the corner.
The yellow light shone on the ground, and the leaves were stirred up by the wind.
The tree trunk blocked his figure.
Wen Yanqing, who had been waiting silently behind the tree, saw them return and walked over.
At this time, Yi Qian rushed over and called out to him after seeing him.
"Boss, this is an urgent document. You need to read it personally." Yi Qian opened the document and handed it over.
Wen Yanqing looked in the direction where Lin Gantang had disappeared and lowered his head to take in the document.
Lin Gantang returned to the ward and heard a conversation ongoing inside.
The sound of the door opening startled the people inside. Mr. Lin looked over. "You're back?"
"Uncle Lin, I came to see you." Ye Qiuqiu had met Lin Mingzhuo quite a few times and spoke very intimately.
When Mr. Lin saw that it was Ye Qiuqiu, he immediately smiled. "Little Qiu, I haven't seen you for some time. Come to C City more often when you're free."
Lin Mingzhuo liked Ye Qiuqiu very much. He felt that Ye Qiuqiu was innocent by nature; it was very rare for high school-aged Lin Gantang to make such a kind and guileless friend.
"Definitely." Ye Qiuqiu put down the fruit basket with a smile.
Gu Zhichuan greeted Lin Gantang, "Gantang."
Lin Gantang nodded and went inside to wash the grapes.
Ye Qiuqiu was talking to Mr. Lin. Gu Zhichuan sat by the side and did not interrupt her, nor did he say that he was going to leave.
It was not until Lin Gantang came out with the rinsed grapes that he stood up. "Gantang, let's talk."
"I don't think we have anything to talk about. Didn't I make it clear previously at the Elegant Restaurant?" Lin Gantang didn't want to bother about it and placed the grapes beside her father's hand.
"Last time, Shuyue was there. This time, the two of us should have a good talk," Gu Zhichuan said in a deep voice.
Gu Zhichuan was just like that. If she did not go along with his wishes, he would probably not leave until tonight.
Lin Gantang wiped her hands dry and walked in front. "Let's go outside the hospital. Leave immediately after you're done."
Gu Zhichuan did not mind.
It was late, and there were fewer people coming to the hospital.
Wen Yanqing signed the document and handed it to Yi Qian. Just as he was about to enter, he looked up and saw Lin Gantang and Gu Zhichuan walking together.
He couldn't help but retract his steps.
Lin Gantang stood in a quiet place and asked Gu Zhichuan, "What else do you want to say? Tell me clearly once and for all. I don't have time to play games with you."
Lin Gantang's cold attitude made Gu Zhichuan feel a little uncomfortable.
All along, she had been the one who was passionate, who had followed his wishes, who had taken the initiative.
"If you don't want to get married now, the wedding can be postponed." Gu Zhichuan made a concession.
Lin Gantang snorted in anger. "I just realized that you don't understand simple language. What is our relationship? Are we engaged? No, I'm not your fiancée. Or did you mention that you wanted me to be your girlfriend? No, I'm not your girlfriend."
From the beginning to the end, it was Lin Gantang who chased after him. The funny thing was that her sincerity had never been exchanged for a confession.
"You're my girlfriend. Why else would I agree to marry you?" Gu Zhichuan frowned.
"Alright, just take it that I'm your girlfriend. I didn't explain it thoroughly at the Elegant Restaurant." Lin Gantang looked straight at him and said, "Now I want to break up. We are ending our relationship. Do you understand?"
"Why? What else do you want?" Gu Zhichuan asked impatiently.
Lin Gantang thought, "Why can't this person get any understanding?"
Of course, he did not understand. Because he had never loved her and did not care, he would not put in the effort to understand her.
Lin Gantang took half a step forward, wanting to kiss him.
Gu Zhichuan suddenly retreated and instinctively dodged, his brows furrowing even more tightly.
"See, this is the answer." Lin Gantang's gaze was like autumn water, cold and with a sense of aloofness. "Gu Zhichuan, who are you keeping your chastity for?"
