When Lu Bancheng raised the tea cup to his mouth, he also raised his head and asked, “Who?”
Gu Yusheng hesitated and then said the words, “Qin Zhi’ai.”
He frowned.
Qin Zhi’ai, Qin Zhi’ai, Qian Zhi’ai… Why is that name so familiar?
He had found it familiar when she’d introduced herself to him just that afternoon.
When he’d first seen her this evening, he realized he had seen her once last year. She was a good friend of Hao Zi’s wife.
He thought her name might have sounded familiar because perhaps he had met her last year. When he said her name out loud, though, he seemed to remember her from a long time ago.
“Xiao’ai?” Lu Bancheng shook his head. “No way. Are you kidding? Xiao’ai couldn’t be Liang Doukou’s body double. Sure, they look alike, but looks aren’t everything. You know how advanced plastic surgery is and what makeup can do. Two totally different people can look similar. And also, Xiao’ai doesn’t sound like Liang Doukou, nor do they have similar personalities at all. They are not the same kind of people. It’s not possible. Definitely impossible.”
Lu Bancheng paused, then added, “Don’t forget we met Xiao’ai once last year. Back then, Xiaokou’s body double was already at your house. Obviously, she couldn’t be Xiaokou’s body double.”
“I know.” Compared to Lu Bancheng’s excitement on this matter, Gu Yusheng was almost serene.
He understood what Lu Bancheng had said, and he agreed that Liang Doukou and Qin Zhi’ai were quite different.
For some reason, however, the moment his eyes had met hers, his heart lifted. It was the sign he’d been waiting for that she was the girl.
Gu Yusheng had generally not ascribed any logic to his feelings, but this excitement was exactly what he had felt when his eyes met those of little troublemaker at his grandpa’s house. And his life had seemed entwined with hers ever since then.
Eleven months had passed since she left him. He had seen many beautiful girls on the streets, but Qin Zhi’ai was the first one he felt he had known before.
No matter how ridiculous Lu Bancheng would think he is, he would follow his heart this time.
Gu Yusheng said, “I want to take a shot.”
“Do you mean…” Lu Bancheng knew Gu Yusheng had made up his mind when he nodded at him.
Gu Yusheng looked into his eyes to confirm it. “Yes, I plan to move back to Beijing.”
Even if I’m never at peace again after returning to Beijing, I’ll be fine. I just want to get back here.
Even though that girl student is different from little troublemaker, I still want to come back.
Gu Yusheng added, “I’m coming back for her.”
He was not just coming back to Beijing but also walking straight into her life, and he would figure out whether or not she was his little troublemaker once and for all.
Gu Yusheng looked back into Lu Bancheng’s eyes and said, “Do you still want to play the game?”
