“You’re the girl who drank milk tea at the shop today.”
Su Lingche didn’t know why he met Gu Qingjiu there.
He seemed a little happy to see her. But seeing Gu Qingjiu turn around, he dashed over to her.
As the man walked towards her step by step, Gu Qingjiu had a brief flashback of the Su Lingche in her previous life and the one who she was dealing with.
He walked to her and had a genial and harmless smile. The way he looked at her was so gentle.
She then realized that it was this exact person who had pushed her down a ravine, together with Yu Shiwei!
Everything that happened in the Yu family and her final despair in jail all came crashing down at her like a wave…
Her originally diminished hatred surged back suddenly. Gu Qingjiu held back her urge to stab the person in front of her. She clutched her hands tightly together behind her back, her fingernails stabbing into her palms. Her smile emitted a cold trace of ill intention.
“Oh, you were the waiter from this afternoon!”
‘Waiter’ was a term Su Lingche didn’t want to hear.
His body stiffened as he frowned lightly but slowly relaxed once again. He explained, “I was just helping my classmate, not an actual waiter.”
Given how anxious he was to explain himself, it showed how much he hated that term.
Gu Qingjiu looked doubtful as she pursed her lips. “Really?”
Her attitude rubbed on to Su Lingche, but he didn’t know how this girl felt about him.
He only knew that he had a strange attraction to her.
It was why he took the initiative to greet her despite it being out of his character.
One had to know that he wasn’t the type to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with girls.
But the girl in front of him had crystal clear eyes; as if she held galaxies within them.
The aura she exuded was as crisp as a water lily, and she gave off a novel form of attractiveness.
For him to say ‘hi’ to such a girl was not considered demeaning at all.
If Gu Qingjiu knew Su Lingche’s inner thoughts, she would have definitely laughed her head off.
“Yea, I didn’t expect to see you here. What a coincidence.”
His clumsy attempt to start a conversation showed his inexperience in picking girls up.
If it was Gu Qingjiu from the past, she would’ve thought of Su Lingche as a cute and honest person.
But the current Gu Qingjiu only hated how blind she was back then.
Something contemptuous flashed across her eyes as she replied, “Yea, what a coincidence.”
Her heart was thumping rapidly—the result of her restraint.
She was so scared that she could not hold back and really went up to throw a punch at this person.
“My name is Su Lingche, what’s yours?”
Su Lingche introduced himself to Gu Qingjiu and revealed a gentle smile.
His eyes curved up slightly and his smile was bright and clear like the moon.
Around him was an air of a sunshine boy not yet exposed to society.
If it was any other girl, Su Lingche’s smile would have had mesmerized them.
Gu Qingjiu had already fallen for it once, so why would she fall for it again?
She smiled politely in return, appearing to be distant and cold. “My name’s Gu Qingjiu.”
“Gu Qingjiu?” Su Lingche repeated her name beneath his breath. “Clear as wine? What a great name!”
His words of praise made Gu Qingjiu sick.
She really didn’t want to dawdle with this man around, but she couldn’t just turn and leave either.
“Thank you.”
And with those two words, the atmosphere sunk down.
It was a little awkward, and Su Lingche seemed to realize it as well.
It was his first time starting a conversation towards a girl, so he had no idea how to continue it.
