Lu Qing looked at Gu Xicheng and asked, somewhat puzzled:
What do you want to tell me?
Gu Xicheng spoke in a sinister tone:
"Lu Qing, do you like me?"
"ah?"
Lu Qing was surprised that Gu Xicheng would ask her this question so suddenly, so directly that she almost didn't have time to react.
"Answer me, do you like me or not?" Gu Xicheng frowned and stared intently at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing nodded like a chick pecking at rice:
"I like it!"
"What kind of liking is it?" Gu Xicheng asked again.
Lu Qing scratched his head, genuinely not understanding the question:
"If you like something, you like it. Does it matter what kind of person you like?"
Gu Xicheng pursed his lips:
"Let me rephrase the question: Why do you like me? Is it simply because my yang constitution can cure your cold ailment?"
Lu Qing shook her head repeatedly: "No, that's not true!"
Gu Xicheng was very satisfied with this answer, and his expression softened considerably.
"Then why do you like me?"
Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... because you're good-looking, you help me in every way, and you even take me out to eat delicious food, especially mochi!"
Snow Mochi?
Gu Xicheng suddenly realized something was wrong, so he frowned and asked:
"Between me and Xue Meiniang, which one do you prefer?"
Lu Qing thought for a moment.
Gu Xicheng would buy her lots of mochi, but mochi wouldn't grow legs and buy her lots of Gu Xicheng on its own.
I still prefer Gu Xicheng.
"Between you and Xue Meiniang, I'll choose you!"
Although Lu Qing gave Gu Xicheng the answer he was looking for, she hesitated!
She actually hesitated!
Gu Xicheng almost ground his back teeth to powder!
When asked to choose between him and Xue Meiniang, Lu Qing actually hesitated!
How could she hesitate?
Gu Xicheng felt as if Rong Momo had stabbed him with countless needles in his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Gu Xicheng, what's wrong?" Lu Qing asked cautiously.
Gu Xicheng: "I'm fine." Just heartbroken.
Lu Qing swallowed hard. "Well... if you don't have anything else, I'll be going now?"
"Let's go! I need to be alone!"
Gu Xicheng was like a deflated balloon, dejected and depressed, exuding a sorrow more severe than that of a vengeful ghost.
Lu Qing still didn't understand after getting out of the car. He was fine when they were eating, so why did he suddenly act like he was having a seizure?
Is it really true, as Leng Wei said, that men have those abnormal days every month?
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out!
Lu Qing simply stopped thinking about it, went back to her dorm, took a shower, and fell soundly asleep.
Gu Xicheng didn't sleep all night, nor did he go home; instead, he stayed at the company.
Early in the morning, Wu Dalong went upstairs still sleepy, intending to tidy up Gu Xicheng's office, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Xicheng sitting on the sofa.
It's only 8:30 now. Gu Xicheng usually arrives at the company around 9:30.
Wu Dalong was startled.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that Gu Xicheng's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were dark and swollen, he had a stubble beard, and his face was gloomy.
Seeing that Gu Xicheng was in a bad mood, Wu Dalong decided to leave first to avoid trouble.
He tiptoed and cautiously turned around, just about to leave when he heard Gu Xicheng say coldly:
"Wu Dalong, come here!"
Wu Dalong was on the verge of tears, but he turned around and put on a fawning smile as he stepped forward:
"Mr. Gu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Gu Xicheng coldly raised his head, pointed at the snow-white mooncake on the table, and asked:
"Who looks better, me or it?"
Wu Dalong: "...Huh??"
“Speak! Between me and it, who is more attractive?” Gu Xicheng asked again in a stern voice.
"This...this is of course you! It's just a snow-white mooncake, how can it compare to you!" Wu Dalong said with a fawning smile.
"Then why does Lu Qing like it more?"
As he spoke, Gu Xicheng took a big bite of the snow-white mooncake, as if he were imagining it as Lu Qing.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dalong immediately realized that it wasn't Xue Meiniang who had offended him, but Lu Qing!
"Boss, tell me what exactly happened?" Wu Dalong asked with a smile.
Gu Xicheng gave him a disdainful look:
What's the point of telling you?
"Boss, don't you know who I am? Don't think I've had many relationships just because I haven't been in many. I've read a lot of novels, and I know exactly what those young girls are thinking!"
Seeing Wu Dalong's confident demeanor, Gu Xicheng became slightly more convinced:
"You really understand girls' minds?"
Wu Dalong patted his chest and said confidently, "I guarantee you'll understand!"
Gu Xicheng recounted his story with Lu Qing.
After hearing this, Wu Dalong's lips twitched slightly. He finally understood why his boss was so angry.
One-sided love, wishful thinking, then falling in love without realizing it, only to discover the truth and become furious.
A narcissistic boss and a naive young girl—it's up to the Casanova Wu Dalong to save their love story.
“Boss, in my opinion, your fiancée has feelings for you!” Wu Dalong said earnestly.
Gu Xicheng snorted coldly:
"Am I there? Or is it the snow skin mooncake I brought her?"
Wu Dalong: "Boss, you yourself said that you brought her the mochi. Why doesn't she eat the mochi that others bring her? She only eats the one you give her. Isn't it because she likes you?"
Gu Xicheng thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.
There are so many dessert shops in Kyoto, if Lu Qing wants to eat something, she can just go and buy it herself.
But for so long, she waited at the school gate every day. It seems unlikely that it wasn't because of him at all.
Gu Xicheng touched his face. Putting everything else aside, he was quite confident in his looks.
After indulging in his narcissism for a while, he frowned and asked:
"You said she likes me, so why did she hesitate when I asked her who she liked more, me or Xue Meiniang?"
Wu Dalong pursed his lips, hesitated, and said:
"Boss, if I may be so blunt, is this a question a normal person should ask?"
"You're comparing yourself to a piece of food, like a wife asking her husband who he would save if she and her mother-in-law fell into the water together—that's just ridiculous!"
"I..." Gu Xicheng wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
"Okay! I know I asked the wrong question, but I always feel that in Lu Qing's heart, the food is more important than me."
Gu Xicheng was extremely depressed.
"Then you'd better behave yourself and push those food away!"
"You're a grown man, how could you possibly lose to some food?"
Upon hearing Wu Dalong's words, Gu Xicheng slammed his hand on the table:
"You're right!"
"I, Gu Xicheng, have always been able to do my best in everything since I was a child. How could I possibly lose to some food!"
"I'm going to find Lu Qing right now!"
Gu Xicheng picked up his coat and was about to leave when Wu Dalong quickly grabbed him:
"Boss, please calm down. Go to the bathroom first, tidy yourself up, and then get a good night's sleep, okay?"
"With the way you look now, not only the boss's wife, but even passersby would be scared by you."
Gu Xicheng frowned: "Is it really that exaggerated?"
Wu Dalong handed him a mirror: "Take a look for yourself!"
Gu Xicheng was startled when he saw himself in the mirror with an oily face, stubble, and panda eyes.
He quickly went inside to take a shower, changed into clean pajamas, and then took a nap.
Lu Qing is still in military training right now, I'll go find her tonight!
Having not slept all night, Gu Xicheng quickly fell asleep.
He had a dream in which Lu Qing became a young lady in ancient times, and was holding a martial arts contest to find a husband.
He defeated all his opponents and was about to win the heart of his beloved when, unexpectedly, a giant snow goddess jumped out and stole him away.
Gu Xicheng was startled awake.
