Li Wei couldn't say she didn't know how to dress, so she just replied vaguely, "I really like this one."

Unexpectedly, this casual remark seemed to touch Gu Jinzhi's heartstrings. He lowered his eyes slightly, and his fair cheeks actually flushed a little.

Li Wei didn't notice his change. She was searching for her cell phone in the room and asked the question in her mind.

"I remember this skirt. Wasn't it already broken when we last sparred?"

Gu Jinzhi's face turned even redder, and he said hesitantly, "Maybe, mom bought it for you again."

Li Wei thought about it and agreed.

Maybe Aunt Liang also thinks this outfit looks good?

She found her cell phone on the low cabinet on the other side of the bed, opened it and saw the time was six thirty.

There is still an hour until the scheduled dinner time.

Li Wei glanced at Gu Jinzhi, who was already dressed and standing by the window, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you still going to internship today?"

"I'm going to resign today." Gu Jinzhi answered decisively.

Li Wei blinked, "What happens next?"

“Then just stay home.”

Gu Jinzhi said as he walked towards the terrace.

He stood at the edge of the terrace, holding onto the cold railing, and took a deep breath of the morning air.

Li Wei also followed. She was not as tall as Gu Jinzhi, so she could only cross her arms and place them flat on the railing, with her chin resting on her arms, like a lazy cat.

The cool and damp breeze in the early morning brushed against her cheeks, lifting a few strands of her hair.

The two stood side by side for a long time, and no one spoke.

Until the sound of an engine coming from far away broke the peace.

Li Wei looked up and saw Gu Jinzhi's familiar two-tone car slowly driving in front of the small building.

At the main entrance of the small building, servants immediately came out with bags of various sizes, and with the help of the driver, they stuffed the things into the trunk.

Li Wei tilted her head, her face full of curiosity.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Thank you for your care, my teammates. Now that I'm leaving, I should give you some small gifts."

"Indeed." Li Wei thought it made sense.

As soon as he finished speaking, a warm hand suddenly reached out.

As Li Wei stared in astonishment, he patted the top of her head gently and rubbed it.

[What the hell?!]

Before Li Wei could get angry, Gu Jinzhi had already withdrawn his hand, turned around and left, with a smile in his voice, "I won't have breakfast, don't forget to go back to the Jiang family."

Li Wei touched her messed up hair, feeling a little annoyed and helpless.

This guy switches between hot and cold really fast...

Seeing Gu Jinzhi's figure disappear at the bedroom door, Li Wei did not leave the terrace. She still lazily lay on the railing, watching the movement downstairs.

After a while, Gu Jinzhi came out of the building.

He walked through the manicured garden and went straight to the car which had already started.

As if he sensed something, he stopped and looked up at the second-floor terrace before getting into the car.

A breeze blew by, ruffling the hem and laces of Li Wei's skirt.

She subconsciously held down the hem of her skirt and looked back at Gu Jinzhi.
