Cheng Qicai explained, "I didn't do anything with him. It's just that his girlfriend wanted a plush toy from our store, so I took it out and gave it to him."

She patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I've already told him not to come over again. If he does, I'll be very rude to him."

Gu Rongqi's eyes regained some warmth. "Are you being so fierce?"

Seeing that his expression had improved considerably, Cheng Qicai tilted her head back and reached out to rub his cheeks, wiping away the remaining coldness on his face. "That's right, if you did something to wrong me, I would be just as fierce to you."

Gu Rongqi couldn't help but laugh when he saw her feigning fierceness.

Cheng Qicai always found a way to make him lose his temper.

He looked at Cheng Qicai seriously, "Next time you can tell me directly, there's no need to hide it. It makes me very worried that you'll think... the other person has rekindled their old flame."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." Seven Colors made a disgusted face, "Even if I were to rekindle my old flame with that dog, I would never be with him..."

Cheng Qicai briefly recounted to him the story of Yang Linghan cheating on her.

"Now you believe I won't get back together with him, right? That's why I didn't want to tell you. He's a complete idiot, and just thinking about him makes me angry." After saying that, Cheng Qicai felt like dragging Yang Linghan back and beating him up again.

She and Gu Rongqi are doing well now, but he still has to come out and try to get attention from them. The thought of her makes her even angrier.

Seeing Qi Cai's angry expression, Gu Rongqi secretly smiled.

He knew that given Cheng Qicai's personality, if she was to date someone, it must have been after serious consideration, and at least they had shared moments of love.

Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed.

When you like someone, it's hard not to feel possessive of them.

Seeing that Gu Rongqi was not speaking and was just staring at her, Cheng Qicai felt a little embarrassed.

After all, if your ex is like this, it proves that you have terrible taste in people!

Having finished speaking, and seeing that Gu Rongqi still didn't react, Cheng Qicai's tone became tinged with jealousy, "Besides, didn't you meet with your ex-girlfriend a while ago without telling me?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Cheng Qicai regretted them; there was really no need to say such hurtful things.

If Gu Rongqi minded her relationship with Yang Linghan, then Gu Liji said that she wasn't entirely indifferent to Gu Rongqi meeting with his ex-girlfriend.

Gu Rongqi was taken aback. He realized that the person who sent the message to Gu Liji back then was Cheng Qicai. No wonder he seemed so guilty.

Realizing that their situations were actually quite similar, both involving concealment from each other, he sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I..."

"Okay, I understand," Cheng Qicai quickly stopped him.

To put it bluntly, the reason neither of them spoke about it was that they didn't want their past experiences to affect their current lives.

Cheng Qicai looked at him with a smile and took his hand. "Those are all in the past. We are in the present now, aren't we?"

Gu Rongqi nodded slightly.

She looked into her eyes, her smiling eyes like the sun hanging in the sky, its golden-orange light filling the heavens, looking both healing and warm.

A stirring within him stirred within him; he longed to place a gentle kiss upon her eyes, to feel the touch of her trembling eyelashes brushing against his lips.

It felt as if it were kissing her beating heart.

Only physical contact can quell the ever-growing surge of love.

But since they were outside, he suppressed his desire and simply reached out and ruffled her hair.

The two returned to the store and resumed their respective work.

When it was time to leave work, the two drove home. Perhaps due to some event, the city center was unusually congested today.

Cheng Qicai suggested, "Why don't we eat today and go back? We don't know when this traffic jam will be cleared."

Gu Rongqi glanced at the time and nodded.

Gu Rongqi found a parking lot nearby and parked there.

This location is actually near where they used to watch the light show.

This time, however, they didn't go to the same restaurant as before, but instead went to a Cantonese restaurant, where they could also see the light show.

Now that their relationship is different, their feelings about seeing the light show are naturally different as well.

She was reserved last time she came, but now she can take photos however she wants without any restraint.

Cheng Qicai took a picture of Gu Rongqi eating, admiring him in the photo.

I thought to myself, how come she managed to date such a handsome guy? She's so lucky!

She felt a surge of joy and pride.

"Eat properly." Gu Rongqi watched as she kept playing on her phone, barely touching the rice in her bowl.

"Oh," Cheng Qicai said obediently after being scolded, putting down her phone and deliberately calling out to Gu Rongqi, "Old fogey."

Gu Rongqi lifted his eyelids to look at her, and Cheng Qicai immediately flattered him by placing a piece of roast goose on his plate, saying, "I'll pick out the best one for you."

He indulged his sycophantic nature.

Gu Rongqi stared at the dark red goose meat in the bowl, picked it up, and ate it.

After eating for a while, Cheng Qicai looked at the colorful buildings outside and inexplicably thought of Gu Rongqi's blind date. She laughed whenever she thought of it.

Gu Rongqi looked at Cheng Qicai, who was smirking, and asked, "What came to mind?"

“I was thinking about that blind date you went on.” Cheng Qicai laughed again. “You got roasted so badly that time, you went on a blind date with your ex-girlfriend’s best friend, haha, it’s funny to think about it.”

Gu Rongqi explained, "The circle is so narrow, and there are only so many suitable marriage partners."

Cheng Qicai thought about it and agreed. Unlike ordinary people like her, they were more compatible.
