He was sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the lounge area, with a cigarette between his fingers and his cell phone.
The expression on his face was a little ugly, as if he would explode at any time. Probably because the call didn't go through, he angrily threw the phone on the table, then took two deep breaths, picked up the phone screen again, and raised it to his ear.
This time, he was even more impatient than the last time he had called. Just when Qin Zhi 'ai thought Gu Yusheng was about to throw his cell phone at her, he suddenly seemed to see something. He paused, then turned his head and slowly looked at her.
As Qin Zhi 'ai wondered why he was here and whether she should greet him, Gu Yusheng looked away and put out his cigarette in the ashtray, then stood up and walked toward her.
He couldn't be here for her, could he?
Qin Zhi 'ai stood there, looking at Gu Yusheng, who had stopped in front of her, shocked and speechless.
"Why can't I get through to you?" Gu Yusheng's eyes were still full of anger from when he had just called her, and his voice sounded a little unhappy, as if he was blaming her.
"Ah?" Qin Zhi 'ai asked in surprise. Then she realized that he was calling her just now … So, did he really come to see her?
As Qin Zhi 'ai was thinking, she saw Gu Yusheng frown slightly, so she immediately came back to her senses and explained, "My cell phone ran out of battery during the live broadcast."
After a short pause, Qin Zhi 'ai asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Which room do you live in?" Gu Yusheng didn't answer her question.
Qin Zhi 'ai looked at Gu Yusheng in confusion.
Gu Yusheng glanced at the digital clock on the wall in the lobby. There were only ten minutes left until five o 'clock, which was 24 o' clock in Beijing … Seeing that she didn't say anything, he impatiently snatched her handbag from her hand, rummaged in it, and took out the room card. Glancing at the number on it, he directly grabbed her wrist, turned around, and walked toward the elevator.
On the way up in the elevator, Gu Yusheng raised his wrist anxiously and looked at his watch several times. As soon as the elevator door opened, he couldn't wait to grab Qin Zhi 'ai's wrist and walk toward her room.
He swiped the key card and opened the door. He pushed Qin Zhi 'ai into her room, then followed her in. After closing the door, he raised his wrist to check the time. There were only three minutes left until the hour.
It was the first time in Gu Yusheng's life that he had ever given a girl a gift. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
On the train ride to Paris, he had been thinking about how to give her the present.
He had thought it through, but when he saw her now, he was a little nervous.
How embarrassing … I wasn't like this even when I was on the brink of death in the army … Gu Yusheng muttered to himself for a long time, unable to say the words that he had prepared beforehand.
There were only one and a half minutes left in the three minutes. If he didn't say it now, her birthday would be over …
The more anxious he was, the more nervous Gu Yusheng became. He was so nervous that he forgot what to say in the end. He raised his wrist to check the time. There were only fifty seconds left. He gritted his teeth and directly took out the necklace box from his laptop bag. Without looking at Qin Zhi 'ai, he threw it into her arms and mumbled, "Happy birthday."
