On Saturday, Gu Liji went to pick up Cheng Qicai.
He rolled down the car window, looked at Cheng Qicai standing at the door, and asked, "Where is your boyfriend... your friend?"
Thinking of Gu Rongqi sitting in the back row, he shut his mouth, which he wanted to tease.
He didn't want to get another glare from his brother later.
“His school is closer to the convention center, so he went there to wait for us.” Cheng Qicai opened the back door of the car.
Cheng Qicai was stunned when she met Gu Rongqi's eyes, wondering why she had come too.
As she sat down, a furry sensation suddenly appeared beside her hand, startling her so much that she almost jumped out of the car.
"Golden Bean!" Gu Rongqi's stern rebuke rang out.
Cheng Qicai, still shaken, looked at the spot where she had just touched it. It turned out to be the location of the golden bean. She must have placed it on the cushion before, and she hadn't noticed before touching it, which was why she was startled.
"Are you alright?" Gu Rongqi pulled the golden bean back to his side, preventing it from heading towards Cheng Qicai.
"It's nothing." Cheng Qicai shook her head and reached out to touch the aggrieved Golden Bean.
"Golden Bean!" Cheng Qicai called out to it with a smile.
Golden Bean immediately became enthusiastic again, tilting its head back to touch her hand with its nose. Cheng Qicai deliberately prevented its nose from touching her, and instead scratched its chin from a different angle.
Golden Bean became even more excited, bouncing up and down, trying to rush towards her. If Gu Rongqi hadn't been holding it by the leash, it probably would have already run over to her.
Cheng Qicai touched its twitching ears again, and it shook its head, slapping her hand onto Gu Rongqi's calf.
"I'm sorry!" Cheng Qicai was startled. Seeing Gu Rongqi's foot retracting, she couldn't help but look up at Gu Rongqi's expression and blurted out the apology.
Before she could see clearly, Cheng Qicai felt a weight on her knee. She looked down and saw that Huang Jindou had run over.
Gu Rongqi left only the end of the rope in his hand.
“…It’s okay.” He reached out to pull Golden Bean back, and then called out again, “Golden Bean.”
But now it's deliberately going against Gu Rongqi, jumping towards Cheng Qicai with force in the opposite direction.
"How about we leave it with me?" Cheng Qicai said, looking at the golden bean sticking out its tongue.
“It’s too noisy,” Gu Rongqi said, frowning.
"It's okay, dogs are only called dogs if they're mischievous. I like it, so I'll let it stay with me."
Gu Rongqi let go of his hand, but still kept a section of the leash in his hand out of concern.
Cheng Qicai looked at the golden beans on her side, her old and new grudges churning within her. They had not only frightened her earlier but had also caused her to slap Gu Rongqi's knee. Now she could finally rub them freely.
Looking at its innocent and naive appearance, Cheng Qicai's sadistic desires gradually arose.
She held its head in her hands and rubbed it!
Cheng Qicai gave it a thorough rub from head to tail before letting go, as a way of venting her anger.
After touching the golden beans enough, Cheng Qicai finally asked her question, "Gu Rongqi, aren't you going to participate in the creative exhibition?"
Upon hearing this question, Gu Liji, who had been secretly observing them, perked up his ears and watched Gu Rongqi's expression.
"Everyone else wanted to go, so I didn't," Gu Rongqi said calmly. "Liji was bringing Huang Jindou to the pet expo, and I was worried about him, so I came along."
Cheng Qicai nodded in understanding. It was indeed worrying to let Gu Liji, that cripple, bring the dog to play.
Gu Liji was full of questions. What was he worried about? He had only mentioned that he and Cheng Qicai were going to a pet exhibition the next day, and Gu Liji immediately said that he wanted to go too.
How come he didn't know his brother was so good at making excuses?
What other creative exhibitions are there? So his brother invited Cheng Qicai before, but was rejected?
Hmph, in the end, I still had to rely on myself to get Cheng Qicai to come out.
Thinking of this, Gu Liji felt a surge of smugness.
Then he thought, since his brother is coming today, wouldn't he run into Cheng Qicai's blind date? Hopefully nothing bad will happen.
Gu Liji couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The car drove all the way to the vicinity of the exhibition, but there were too many people attending, and there was a traffic jam on the last stretch of the road.
After finally arriving at the exhibition hall entrance, Cheng Qicai looked out the window and saw Ren Baiping standing at the entrance, looking down at his phone.
There were too many people, and their car was driving in the middle lane, so Cheng Qicai couldn't call out to him.
She took out her phone and sent him a message saying that they had arrived at the door, but their car was blocked and they would have to wait a while.
Cheng Qicai saw him put away his phone and then look up at them, probably searching for their vehicle.
The entrance to the exhibition hall was facing Gu Rongqi. She looked at it and said to Gu Rongqi, "Could you roll down the window for a moment?"
Gu Rongqi remained silent for a moment before pressing the window lift button.
The car window slowly rolled down, and Cheng Qicai hesitated about how to get past Gu Rongqi to call out to Ren Baiping. If she wanted to call out to Ren Baiping, she would have to stick her head out of the window.
After thinking about that position again, which was really indecent, she asked the driver what the car's license plate was, and then sent the information to Ren Baiping.
After she saw Ren Baiping's gaze, which had been wandering around, finally settle on them, she walked towards them.
Cheng Qicai turned her body towards Gu Rongqi, leaned forward slightly, lowered her head, and waved from inside the car.
Ren Baiping waved back at her from the sidewalk.
Cheng Qicai shouted at him, "We'll pull over to the side in a bit, wait a moment."
Ren Baiping gave her an "OK" sign from outside the window.
"Seven Colors, is this your friend?" Gu Liji asked.
Cheng Qicai nodded.
Gu Liji saw the other person's appearance and secretly curled his lip in disdain. This person was not comparable to his brother at all.
His brother was guaranteed to win, right?
I thought Cheng Qicai had good taste, but this is the person she chose? He's just average, not particularly good-looking, not as tall as his brother, not as well-built, and a bit chubby.
He was a little nervous before he met him, worried that he and Gu Rongqi might clash, but now it seems he was just overthinking it.
There's absolutely no crisis here, okay?
