Since Gu Qingmo wasn’t aware of certain things, he spoke in a more carefree manner than Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu fell silent momentarily. From the looks of it, Gu Qingmo was serious about this.
After all, he had already graduated from university and hadn’t broken up with Qin Wange. That was already sufficient to prove a lot of things.
“Why do I have the feeling that something is off with you today? Did you quarrel with the Chief Instructor?”
Gu Qingmo felt incredulous. “Even you two quarrel?”
Gu Qingjiu didn’t wish to talk about this matter because the more they talked about it, the more she didn’t know how she would face it. She said, “Nothing major. Brother, what are we having for lunch?”
“With such a rich boyfriend, you came here to get a treat out of your older brother?”
Gu Qingmo deliberately teased her. He stroked Gu Qingjiu’s head and considerately stopped pressing her about that matter. “Alright, I’ll treat you to whatever you want to have for lunch. My internship pay has been credited to my account, so I shouldn’t have any problem treating you to a meal.”
Gu Qingjiu smiled. “Just one meal?”
“Then how many meals do you want me to treat? Do you wish to make my wallet bleed?”
As the two of them joked around, Gu Qingmo led Gu Qingjiu out of school.
At noon, after the duo had entered a restaurant, Gu Qingmo called Qin Wange.
“Just order what you want to eat first. This restaurant serves pretty good steak.”
Gu Qingmo seemed generous.
Gu Qingjiu distractedly looked at the menu.
Having eaten at that certain place the Chief Instructor brought her to, she was sure that the steak served here wouldn’t be as good as that restaurant. But since her older brother was treating her to it, Gu Qingjiu naturally had to give him face. After ordering the flavor she wanted, she asked in passing, “What is Sister Wange having?”
“Let her choose on her own after she arrives. Or else the steak might have turned cold by then.”
After Gu Qingmo had finished speaking, he glanced outside the restaurant and instantly revealed a vibrant smile. “She’s here.”
Gu Qingjiu looked over and saw a svelte Qin Wange in a white lace top paired with a white silk short skirt. She was also holding up an umbrella to shield herself from the sun. As she entered, she kept away her umbrella.
She exuded a celestial air as she walked, just like the sort one might see on television.
Her celestial air attracted the gazes of many patrons in the restaurant.
“Sister Qingjiu. Qingmo.”
Qin Wange appeared gracious in front of Gu Qingjiu.
It didn’t seem like any feelings of animosity or awkwardness had arisen due to their previous conversation.
Before, Gu Qingjiu had said that she wouldn’t interfere in her older brother’s matters, and it was up to Qin Wange with what she was going to do. She flashed her a friendly smile and greeted her, “Sister Wange.”
“Wange, order whatever you want. It’s so rare that there’s only the three of us today.”
Qin Wange’s glistening eyes looked as though water might drip from within as she gently gazed at Gu Qingmo. “I’m fine with whatever.”
She then turned her head towards Gu Qingjiu and asked, “Qingjiu, your exams are over by now, right? How did you fare?”
“Not bad, I think.”
Gu Qingjiu didn’t respond overly modestly.
“You’re terrific,” Qin Wange praised.
Next to her, Gu Qingmo teased, “Alright, alright, stop praising her. Her tail is curling up to the skies.”
Just then, his phone rang, so he whipped out his phone to answer the call.
Gu Qingjiu and Qin Wange stopped and looked at him.
