Back Then, I Adored You

Gu Yusheng made a trip to the restroom after he left the party room.

He had been so angry in the party room that he saw he still had an angry look on his face when he saw himself in the sink mirror after he came out of the toilet.

He never would have thought he would be in trouble because of Qin Zhi’ai when he only came out for fun. She was a troublemaker, no doubt.

Gu Yusheng was shocked for a second when the name “little troublemaker” ran through his mind. He remembered that night when he had played with her and gave her this nickname. He couldn’t help his look growing softer as he thought of it. Even the corners of his mouth curled up.

She was a little troublemaker, indeed. He wondered if the little troublemaker had made it home.

Busy thinking, Gu Yusheng realized it had taken him quite a long time to wash his hands. He immediately turned off the faucet. He pulled some paper towels out to dry his hands and tossed them in the trash bin before he turned around to walk out of the restroom while taking his cell phone out.

He heard someone calling him when he had just unlocked his phone and was about to call the house. “Gu Yusheng.”

Is she nuts? I wasn’t nice to her in the party room. Why would she follow me? Is she looking for trouble? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.

Gu Yusheng had his head down and pretended he hadn’t heard her. He pressed the on the house’s landline on his phone.

“It’s okay if you don’t believe me. You can protect Sis Kou as you wish. I’m not coming to see you to spread rumors about her. I’m here to let you know that I saw Sis Kou go to an amusement park near S University with a guy before I came to the Majestic Clubhouse. They went to the amusement park about forty minutes ago, so they shouldn’t have left yet. You can go there and check. Maybe you’ll see them there.”

Gu Yusheng had been standing with his head down. He hadn’t looked at Jiang Qianqian at all. After he typed the house’s number in, he clicked the call button. He raised the phone to his ear.

Jiang Qianqian stood still for a while. She saw Gu Yusheng was totally ignoring her. She clenched her teeth and repeated where Qin Zhi’ai was. “The amusement park near S University.” After she repeated the address, she turned around and walked away in her wet clothes and high heels.

After the noise of Jiang Qianqian’s high heels hitting the floor was gone, Gu Yusheng’s call went through. “Is Miss home yet?”

“Not yet,” the housekeeper said.

Gu Yusheng frowned. He didn’t say anything back and hung up the phone.

After he got in the car, Gu Yusheng lit a cigarette. When he had only smoked a bit, he took his cell phone out to check the time. It had been about ten minutes since he had called the house. He called the house again, but he was told that Qin Zhi’ai hadn’t come home yet.

Gu Yusheng leaned back in his seat, blowing out beautiful smoke rings until the cigarette burned out. He picked up his cell phone and called the house again. He received the same answer, that Qin Zhi’ai was not home yet.

Gu Yusheng looked like he was in lost in thought for a while. He glanced at the clock. It wasn’t nine o’clock yet. The amusement park closed at ten o’clock. And she wasn’t home yet.

Do I need to take a trip to the amusement park? Why am I standing here worrying? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.

After thinking it through, Gu Yusheng started the car, his hands on the wheel. He slowly drove onto the road.
