Cheng Xian gave Cheng Ke Gu Qingchi's contact information.
It took a long time for Cheng Ke to send a message.
【I have. 】
Cheng Xian was very puzzled.
[Why do you need me to ask for it when you already have it? And how do you know Gu Qingchi? Are you old enough to socialize everywhere? ]
The more Cheng Xian thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. The future prince fell in love with the little star at first sight at the banquet.
Before Cheng Xian could come up with a 100,000-word melodramatic plot in his mind, Cheng Ke told him the answer very straightforwardly.
[My friend request was rejected. He was my former senior, so we know each other.]
Cheng Xian immediately felt extremely sympathetic towards Cheng Ke.
[I know you don't have many friends, but isn't it too miserable to have ended up like this? ]
Cheng Ke is a cool and aloof person. He was cute and gentle when he was young, but he became more and more deviant as he grew up. In school, except for a few close friends who grew up with him, he basically keeps to himself.
Cheng Ke didn't reply to the message at all. When Cheng Xian sent another message without giving up, he found that he was blocked again.
Gu Qingchi had just finished his Latin class and was in the locker room.
After sending the WeChat message to Xie Luyu, he casually put his phone in his coat pocket.
Not long after Cheng Xian left that day, Cheng Ke added Gu Qingchi as a friend again.
After that, he never communicated with Gu Qingchi.
Until today, about half an hour ago, Cheng Ke sent a concise message.
[Tonight at 7 o'clock, Genye Japanese Restaurant, are you free? 】
The timing was just right, not long after Gu Qingchi finished his course, and he considerately left some time. The location was also chosen near Gu Qingchi's residence, close enough to be reached in a few minutes' walk from home.
Everything is just right, it doesn't affect the normal rhythm of life, and it makes people unable to think of a reason to refuse the invitation.
Gu Qingchi did not refuse, he was also a little curious.
He always thought that he should have been in a state of existing but not existing in this world before.
All his information was there, but apart from the necessary documents, there was no extra trace or connection with the past.
You have to know that even though Gu Qingchi spent those two years alone, even if no one remembered or noticed, he still left traces.
Stacks of bills, receipts from supermarket purchases, advertisements put into the mailbox at the door, and the small trees that Gu Qingchi had planted in the garden.
Gu Qingchi can be sure that when Gu Qingchi came into this world, the talent "Gu Qingchi" was born and began to move in this world.
In the past two years, he has more or less figured out the rules. Physical things can be generated arbitrarily, emotions cannot be set, and the connections between people cannot be set.
The character of Gu Qingchi is now complete and is no longer a cannon fodder with a single line of words. Physical things can be generated at will, but emotions and connections cannot be created out of thin air, so "Gu Qingchi" has no past.
Otherwise, why would it be necessary to create the character "Gu Qingchi" to fill the plot.
In other words, if this character was not originally set up as a cannon fodder in a line of scenes, and he had friends, then friends are just an empty concept and actually friends do not exist.
However, the sudden appearance of a so-called high school classmate did surprise Gu Qingchi a little.
According to the existing rules, if he really had a classmate who left behind memories of him, then Gu Qingchi must have actually experienced this period of time.
Gu Qingchi, however, had no memory of S High School at all.
Either this memory was erased, or worse, this memory belonged to someone else. This thought made Gu Qingchi very upset.
It would be tragic if the latter conjecture were true.
The door of the locker room opened and closed, and several trainees came in noisily, interrupting Gu Qingchi's thoughts.
Gu Qingchi came back to his senses as if he was suddenly awakened.
He shook off his messy thoughts and began to change his clothes seriously. He thought he would get the answer after going there tonight. After leaving the company, he planned to walk to the Japanese restaurant.
It was already evening, but the Japanese restaurant has a high positioning and does not sell in large quantities. There are not many people in the store, and the wooden decoration is also very stylish. The tables are far apart, separated by green plants and wooden shelves to form small semi-enclosed spaces, which is a good place for conversation.
Gu Qingchi reported Cheng Ke's name at the front desk, and then the waiter attentively led him to a seat by the window with a good view, one of the best seats in the store.
There was already a man sitting there, dressed quite simply and neatly, in a white shirt and tie. He didn't have any extra accessories on his body except for a nice watch on his wrist. He looked a bit unapproachable and had a very cold temperament.
He looks like a young man, but his gestures are very steady.
This kind of person should be the cool and arrogant academic master who always gets the top score in exams during everyone's school days, the flower on the top of the mountain that is hard to climb in school, who is taciturn and unsociable.
When he saw Gu Qingchi walking over, he didn't have any other expression.
But before Gu Qingchi walked over and was still some distance away, Cheng Ke stood up and moved his seat away.
After the two of them sat down, Cheng Ke spoke first.
If Cheng Xian was here, his eyes would pop out. Cheng Ke has such a bad temper that he has never taken the initiative.
In Cheng Xian's words, although Cheng Ke looks very serious, he is actually very arrogant and will only respond to others when they ask him for help.
Cheng Ke handed over the menu.
"I'm not familiar with this store, so I'll just order a few signs. Take a look and see if there's anything else you want."
Gu Qingchi was in no mood. He took the menu handed to him by Cheng Ke and put it directly on the table.
"I'm fine with it. There's nothing else to add."
Gu Qingchi raised his eyes and went straight to the point.
"Mr. Cheng?"
There was nothing wrong with Cheng Ke's face, but where no one else could see, his hands on the chair were clasping the rattan bars nervously.
"Cheng Ke, you can call me Cheng Ke."
Gu Qingchi was quick to accept advice, but his words were very direct, even a little impolite.
"Cheng Ke, actually, I don't remember having a classmate like you."
Cheng Ke nodded. Neither he nor Gu Qingchi were very cheerful and outgoing people, so their meeting was like a negotiation.
"Actually, I should call you senior. I'm your junior in the next class."
Cheng Ke saw that Gu Qingchi had no impression at all, so he took the initiative again.
"At that time, you were in the basketball club, and I was there too."
Gu Qingchi did join the basketball club when he was in high school. Their high school imitated the system of foreign high schools and forced students to join a club.
Gu Qingchi knows a little bit about basketball, and joined the basketball club just to be lazy so that he could skip most of the training.
Is it a coincidence?
Gu Qingchi's brows were still furrowed.
Cheng Ke was still speaking slowly.
"The senior is very good at basketball, but he is rarely seen in training. He is only called by the president to fill in the gaps during competitions. He always looks passive, but he is very serious in competitions."
"Senior may not remember, but you once took me to a physics competition..."
Gu Qingchi's brows gradually relaxed, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. What Cheng Xian said matched what happened in high school.
A scene suddenly came to his mind. He was in the office, sitting in front of him was his physics teacher, who was from Tianjin and spoke with a accent of crosstalk.
"Please help the teacher take care of this student Cheng. He is a smart kid."
Xie Luyu stood there for a long time before turning off his phone.
"Something's going on. It's about work. Work is important. Work is important."
Although he said this, he was visibly depressed.
It's like a Husky, working hard to dig out the bones it has buried for weeks, happily preparing to give them to the human it likes, waiting to receive praise.
But in the end, there was no praise. Not only that, the dog was thrown a big bone, given a lecture, and the whole dog was stuffed into the bathroom and washed and scrubbed several times.
A double blow both mentally and physically.
After washing, the dog looked wilted.
At this time, the lights on the street were gradually coming on.
"I don't know if he's wearing a coat or not."
It's a bit cold at this point.
The weather was fine this morning. When Gu Qingchi went out, Xie Luyu stuffed a coat into his hand. Although Gu Qingchi took it with him, he often left it at the company because he thought it was troublesome.
After walking a short distance, Xie Luyu stopped again and talked to himself.
"I didn't bring him an umbrella. It's still raining today. It would be bad if it gets heavy later."
Xie Luyu walked back without thinking much, looked around, and planned to find a store to buy an umbrella and send it over.
He walked around in a circle.
"Why are there so many restaurants? Where's the small supermarket in front?"
Xie Luyu glanced at a Japanese restaurant and quickly turned his head back.
The coat he just glanced at seemed familiar. It was the same one he personally handed to Gu Qingchi this morning.
There were two people, two men, sitting by the window, but the glass was a little foggy due to the sudden cold, and it was blocked by the wooden shelves and potted plants, so it was not very clear.
"This can even clash with other clothes."
The coat that Gu Qingchi wore was bought by Xie Luyu. It’s a niche brand from Spain that has no branches anywhere in the world. You have to either buy it through a purchasing agent or from overseas, which is quite troublesome. However, the material is skin-friendly and the style is nice too.
Xie Luyu looked for a long time as if possessed by a ghost, and the person inside finally tilted his head. It was clearly Gu Qingchi.
Xie Luyu subconsciously moved to the side to make sure the people inside couldn't see him.
