The weekend arrived quickly, and Gu Wanqing arrived at the arrival level of the terminal early in the morning.
"Miaomiao, over here!" Gu Wanqing spotted Shi Miao in the crowd at a glance.
Shi Miao looked up and her gaze softened slightly when she saw Gu Wanqing. She took off her headphones and walked over slowly.
"Why are you dressed so lightly?" Gu Wanqing asked with concern, linking arms with Shi Miao and noticing that the girl was only wearing a thin hooded sweatshirt.
"Hmm, it's alright, I'm not afraid of the cold," Shi Miao said, touching the bridge of her nose.
"Oh dear, that won't do. Let's go shopping first, and I'll buy you some clothes," Gu Wanqing said, patting her hand.
A smile flashed in Shi Miao's eyes as he took her hand in return and said, "Okay."
......
Gu Wanqing drove Shi Miao to a large shopping mall near the restaurant.
After parking the car, she took Shi Miao's arm and prepared to enter the elevator when Qin Chu's voice suddenly came from behind. "Wanqing?"
Gu Wanqing turned around upon hearing the voice, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, her brows furrowing slightly. "What are you doing here?"
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly. She hadn't expected Qin Chu to be watching Gu Wanqing so closely. What was he afraid of?
Qin Chu glanced at Shi Miao out of the corner of her eye, then smiled and stepped forward. "I had arranged to meet a friend here, but he had to leave at the last minute. So the person you wanted to meet was Shi Miao."
Gu Wanqing gave a faint "hmm," her gaze probing as she looked at him, clearly not entirely believing his story.
"Since we've met by such coincidence, I'll come with you. I can even help you carry your bags or something," Qin Chu continued.
"Miaomiao, this..." Gu Wanqing was unsure what to do and turned to look at Shi Miao beside her.
"Hmm, sure, let's go together." Shi Miao raised the corners of her eyes and said with a nonchalant smile.
She wanted to see what Qin Chu was up to.
"I need to use the restroom, will you come with me?" Shi Miao said to Gu Wanqing.
"Okay, I'll take you." After saying that, she left Qin Chu behind, took Shi Miao's arm, and walked into the elevator.
Qin Chu watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his eyes darkening, before he followed them.

Second floor restroom
Shi Miao wiped the water droplets from her hands, turned to look at Gu Wanqing who was washing her hands, and casually said, "You seem to have a gray hair on your head."
"Huh? Then quickly pull it out for me." Gu Wanqing turned off the tap, looked up at herself in the mirror, and looked for the white hair.
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly. He reached out and brushed her hair aside, then quickly plucked two strands from the back of her head. "Okay, I've plucked them out."
"It must be because you haven't been sleeping well lately; you've even got gray hairs." Gu Wan tidied her slightly messy hair.
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao raised an eyebrow slightly, "Didn't you sleep well? Did you have some strange dream?"
"You're amazing! You actually had a strange dream. I've never had a child, but in my dream I not only had a child, but I also lost her. Even though it was just a dream, it felt so real, like I experienced it myself."
Just as Shi Miao was about to ask her why she didn't have children, Gu Wanqing's phone suddenly rang.
Gu Wanqing glanced at the caller ID and hung up the phone. She looked up at Shi Miao and said, "Let's go, he must be getting impatient."
......
Qin Chu had no idea that Gu Wanqing would hang up on him, and he had a bad feeling.
Just as I was about to call her again, Gu Wanqing's voice came from behind me, "Let's go."
Qin Chu turned around and asked worriedly, "Why did you take so long? Why did you hang up on me?"
Gu Wanqing frowned and said impatiently, "Why do you need to make a phone call when we're just going to the bathroom?"
"Uh..." Qin Chu was speechless for once.
Shi Miao glanced at him, curled her lips, and said sarcastically, "Maybe he's afraid we'll encounter some danger in the restroom."
“He’s been acting strange lately.” After saying that, Gu Wanqing ignored him and started shopping with Shi Miao in her hand.
Qin Chu stared at the backs of the two people ahead with a livid face, then irritably loosened his tie and followed them.
Why hasn't that good-for-nothing Gu Yanxin made a move yet? Looks like I'll have to add fuel to the fire when the time is right...
