Without another word, Guoguo glanced at the empty cup in front of Lu Bancheng, bent down, picked it up, and walked into the kitchen.
Soon, Guoguo returned with Lu Bancheng's cup and a pink porcelain cup in her hands. She placed Lu Bancheng's cup back in its original spot and then handed the pink porcelain cup to Xu Wennuan. "Have some water."
Xu Wennuan accepted it with both hands. "Thank you."
Guoguo smiled at Xu Wennuan, but before she could speak, Lu Bancheng, who was sitting on the sofa, said, "Guoguo, go to the bedroom and blow-dry your hair. Don't catch a cold."
He's using me as a shield again. Isn't going to make Xu Wennuan misunderstand that there's something going on between us? A hint of displeasure appeared on Guoguo's face.
Lu Bancheng frowned slightly at Guoguo. His tone was still warm and gentle, with a hint of pampering and care. "Be a good girl and listen to me. Go now."
Of course, Guoguo understood why he was frowning. He wanted her to play along with him. She recalled what he had said to her before dinner, and although she was reluctant, she still pouted and said, "Oh." She then turned around and entered Lu Bancheng's bedroom.
Xu Wennuan, who had witnessed everything that had just happened, felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and her face turned a little pale.
The night she had been bullied by Jiang Qianqian, he had spoken to her in the same gentle and caring tone. Now, all that love and affection had belonged to another girl.
After Guoguo left, the silence in the living room became a little frightening.
After a while, Lu Bancheng closed the documents in his hands and turned to look at Xu Wennuan, breaking the tense atmosphere. "You … Why did you come looking for me?"
She had indeed come looking for him because she had a lot to say to him.
But the prerequisite was that she hadn't run into the girl named Guoguo.
They were now living together. Before she went upstairs, she had already thought of asking, "Do you still like me now?", but how was she supposed to ask those questions?
Lu Bancheng waited for a while, and when he saw that Xu Wennuan was staring at her knees with her eyes lowered, he spoke again. "Hmm?"
"What?" Xu Wennuan raised her head and asked him in astonishment. Then, she recalled what he had just said and smiled awkwardly. "Oh." Then, she paused, not knowing how to answer his question. She nervously grabbed her clothes with her fingertips and recalled the last time they had met two months ago, when he had said that he would bring her medicine. In a moment of desperation, she said, "I … When I saw you today, I suddenly remembered that you bought me a box of stomach medicine during Chinese New Year. I … I …" The more Xu Wennuan spoke, the more difficult it was for her to continue. A box of stomach medicine only cost a little more than ten dollars, and that was not a reason for her to visit him personally. But other than that, she could not find a better excuse. She could only bite the bullet and continue. "I haven't given you the money yet."
Compared to her uneasiness, Lu Bancheng appeared particularly calm. He calmly replied with an "oh", as if he didn't feel that her excuse was lame at all.
Xu Wennuan opened her bag, took out a $20 bill, and placed it on the coffee table.
When she saw that Lu Bancheng had no intention of speaking, she spoke again after a while. "That night, I was going to wait for you, but something happened …"
