"Oh, it's that number. I haven't used it in years. It's a private number …" Gu Yusheng explained in a flat tone and then gave her a new 11-digit number. "This is my current number …"
Qin Zhi 'ai didn't listen to what he said after that. Her mind was filled with the question of why the number he had written for her was different from his real number.
"Xiao 'ai? Xiao 'ai? " Xu Wennuan spoke for a long time. Seeing Qin Zhi 'ai staring at the big screen on the wall without any response, Xu Wennuan reached out and shook her shoulder. "What are you spacing out for?"
Qin Zhi 'ai snapped back to reality and gave Xu Wennuan an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something else."
"What is it?" Xu Wennuan asked with curiosity in her eyes and a smile.
"Nothing. I just forgot to buy medicine for my mother." Qin Zhi 'ai found an excuse to brush Xu Wennuan off. She looked around the room, but Gu Yusheng was nowhere to be seen.
After pausing for a moment, she said to Xu Wennuan, "Nuan Nuan, I won't be accompanying you today. In any case, you'll be returning to Beijing soon. I'll go buy some medicine for my mother. She hasn't taken her medication tonight."
"Okay, I'll walk you out."
"It's okay …"
…
Xu Wennuan walked Qin Zhi 'ai to the entrance of the lobby even though she said it was okay.
Qin Zhi 'ai waited until Xu Wennuan entered the revolving door of the Majestic Clubhouse before she turned around and walked to the sidewalk.
The street outside the Majestic Clubhouse prohibited taxis, so Qin Zhi 'ai had to walk to the taxi stand on the street in front of her.
Qin Zhi 'ai passed an overpass on the way. When she got off the overpass, she saw Gu Yusheng standing on the side of the road, talking on the phone. She suddenly stopped in her tracks.
His car was parked on the side of the road in front of him with its flashing lights on. She didn't know what he was talking about. When he was talking, he took out a cigarette from his car and lit it. Then he stood next to his car, smoking and talking on the phone.
Gu Yusheng's call didn't last long. After smoking only half a cigarette, he put his phone away, but he didn't hurry to get into the car. Instead, he turned around and leaned against the car. With the cigarette in his mouth, he looked at the twinkling lights on the trees on the roadside and smoked slowly.
Qin Zhi 'ai hadn't expected to run into Gu Yusheng, but now that she had, the questions that had surfaced in her mind in the Majestic Clubhouse resurfaced.
She really wanted to know why Gu Yusheng had given her the wrong phone number.
Was it an accident, or …?
Qin Zhi 'ai didn't dare to think further, but she couldn't stop herself from walking toward Gu Yusheng.
Gu Yusheng seemed to have heard her footsteps. With a cigarette in his mouth, he turned his head to look at her.
Qin Zhi 'ai paused for a moment, then took two steps forward and greeted him with a polite smile. "Hello, Mr. Gu."
Gu Yusheng first nodded at her. Then, probably because they had just been sitting in the same room, his reaction was too cold, so he took the cigarette out of his mouth and asked politely, "Are you leaving, too?"
"Yes." Perhaps because Gu Yusheng had spoken to her, Qin Zhi 'ai became more courageous. She pointed at the taxi stand behind Gu Yusheng and said, "Take a taxi here."
