Chapter 34
"Is your relationship with grandpa not very harmonious?" Gu Qingyue asked softly.
"Did your fourth aunt tell you that?" Gu Heng gave him a knowing look.
Gu Qingyue nodded and repeated what Liang Wan had just said, but she deliberately avoided Liang Wan mentioning that her father had a good relationship with him.
Gu Hengsheng didn't comment, but smiled slightly and said, "It's not very good."
Gu Qingyue uttered a slow "oh" and continued, "The day I went to Yanjiang, you came out of Grandpa's room. Did you have an argument with Grandpa that day?"
"Did you hear everything?" He looked calm.
"No, it was when you came out." Gu Qingyue stretched out her finger and lightly tapped his shoulder. "That day, I saw tea stains on your shoulder."
"Well, I had an argument with the old man that day," he said truthfully.
Gu Qingyue said, "Aunt Si said that when you were young, you argued with Grandpa even more fiercely. I can't imagine you being angry. I think you are not the kind of person who loses your temper."
"Qingyue, I'm not as good as you think." He said with a faint smile.
"Really?" Gu Qingyue stared at him. "I think you're great."
A smile appeared in the corner of Gu Hengsheng's eyes. When the light turned green, he slowly started the engine and said, "Shall I take you back to school?"
Gu Qingyue was hesitant: "That...?"
"He won't come to you again." Gu Hengsheng said firmly.
Gu Qingyue murmured, then asked curiously, "How did you get rid of him?"
"I have some acquaintance with his father."
Gu Qingyue suddenly understood, and a hint of mischief flashed in her eyes: "So you're using his father to criticize him?"
"Yes." Gu Hengsheng said with a smile.
Gu Qingyue nodded twice and said, "That's really how the teacher handles problems."
Gu Hengsheng smiled but said nothing.
Gu Hengsheng still drove the car to the downstairs of the dormitory. Gu Qingyue pushed open the passenger door. As soon as her feet touched the floor, she heard Shu Miaomiao calling her from behind.
Gu Qingyue closed the car door. Shu Miaomiao came to her side and nodded to Gu Hengsheng in the driver's seat, "Teacher Gu."
Gu Hengsheng smiled slightly in response. Gu Qingyue put her hand on the passenger window and said goodbye to him, not forgetting to remind him to drive carefully. Watching Gu Hengsheng drive the car out of the dormitory building, Shu Miaomiao finally spoke: "Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?"
"That matter has been resolved."
"But that He Xiaohong is quite annoying." Shu Miaomiao said, "It's good that he's solved."
Gu Qingyue saw the plastic bag in Shu Miaomiao's hand. It was from a dessert shop near the school. She asked in surprise, "Are you not going on a diet today?"
Shu Miaomiao sighed: "No, He Qing had a quarrel with Yang Shuowen and she is in a bad mood right now. I bought her some desserts to try and change her mood."
"Was it very noisy?"
"Yeah, they all cried." Shu Miaomiao frowned and said in a low voice.
He Xiaohong and He Qing have a very deep relationship. Unlike other couples, they don't have conflicts every other day. Gu Qingyue and Shu Miaomiao opened the dormitory door, and Jiang Xinhui gestured to them. He Qing had just finished washing up and was hugging her knees to memorize words. She looked natural, but you could vaguely see signs of crying from the corners of her eyes.
Shu Miaomiao and Gu Qingyue looked at each other and pretended nothing had happened before going into the dormitory.
Shu Miaomiao cleared her throat and said, "I bought some dessert. Do you want some?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xinhui said, "Give me one, Qingqing, do you want one?"
He Qing hummed, and Shu Miaomiao held a bag of desserts and handed it to He Qing: "Take a look, which one do you want?"
The bag contained Macron and Mango Thousand Layer, both of which were He Qing's favorite flavors. He Qing was a thoughtful person and immediately understood what was going on. She said, "Is this something you bought especially for me?"
Shu Miaomiao coaxed her, "Don't you think eating desserts can make you feel better? Try one and see."
He Qing shook his head: "I want to drink, how about we sneak out and have a drink?"
Shu Miaomiao exclaimed, and went to see Gu Qingyue. Gu Qingyue thought for a minute and then decided, "Let's go."
Jiang Xinhui agreed: "Well, go ahead, don't be sad for that bastard man."
He Qing quietly defended Yang Shuowen: "He's not a bastard."
Jiang Xinhui pinched her waist, angry at him for not fighting back: "Come on, you're arguing with him, can you please have some backbone?"
He Qing smiled and said, "Well, okay, Yang Shuowen is a bitch."
Jiang Xinhui was satisfied and said with a smile, "Change your clothes. Let's get out before the curfew."
The four of them left the dormitory building, and Shu Miaomiao asked, "Where are we going to drink?"
Jiang Xinhui said, "How about we go to the pub run by Yang Shuowen's cousin?"
"I don't want to see anyone related to Yang Shuowen right now."
Gu Qingyue thought for a moment and suggested, "I know a place where the environment is not too messy. We can go there."
It was a bar opened by Su Xi's friend. It had a quiet environment and was located on the top floor of a building. Most of the people who came here to have fun were old acquaintances of the owner. Strangers were not easily welcomed here, so it was suitable for them at the moment.
Jiang Xinhui sighed, "This place shouldn't be open to outsiders."
"Well, that's what my sister said."
Gu Qingyue had called Su Xi, who had spoken to the boss before coming in. Su Xi reminded her, "Don't drink too much. There should be at least one person sober who can call her if anything happens."
Gu Qingyue repeatedly emphasized that she would never touch alcohol, and Su Xi finally felt relieved. Gu Qingyue hung up the phone and turned around to see He Qing and Jiang Xinhui each holding a cocktail and drinking it.
Gu Qingyue glanced at Shu Miaomiao, who was sitting beside her with her eyes downcast and playing with her phone, and asked, "Why aren't you drinking?"
"I have to stay sober. If all three of them are drunk, you won't be able to handle it." After the voice fell, Shu Miaomiao winked at her, "How about it, am I good?"
"Great." said Gu Qingyue.
At the moment, she and Shu Miaomiao were the most discordant, both looking at their phones. After a while, Shu Miaomiao suddenly approached her and whispered, "Qingyue, do you think that's Song Xiaoshu?"
This bar was spacious. Song Xiaoshu, dressed in formal attire, leaned against a green leather sofa, a hint of impatience in his eyes. Beside him was a man in his fifties, speaking to him. Song Xiaoshu's hand rubbed the back of his neck, his gaze slightly shifted, meeting Gu Qingyue's.
"It's Song Xiaoshu, right? I'm a little nearsighted, so I can't see clearly."
"It's him." Gu Qingyue nodded.
"I think Song Xiaoshu's family background seems to be good. I heard that he is from Macau. Why did he come to the mainland to go to college?" Shu Miaomiao asked boredly, supporting her chin with one hand.
The screen of Gu Qingyue's mobile phone on the table lit up. It was a WeChat message from Song Xiaoshu. Gu Qingyue raised her eyes and looked in his direction. Song Xiaoshu's expression had changed again at this moment, and he looked obedient and receptive.
Gu Qingyue opened WeChat.
Song Xiaoshu: [Dormitory dinner party]
Gu Qingyue: [He Qing is in a bad mood, so I went out with her for a drink.]
After a long time, Song Xiaoshu sent a simple "oh" and nothing else.
The four of them didn't stay too late; they were just four girls after all. As they were taking the elevator downstairs, Gu Qingyue's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Puzzled, she answered the call, but the voice on the other end sounded familiar.
It’s Song Xiaoshu.
"Are you guys done yet?"
"In the elevator, getting ready to go back." Gu Qingyue covered her phone and looked up at the elevator floor display screen.
"Wait for me in the parking lot and I'll take you back."
"It's too much trouble." Gu Qingyue declined, "We can take a taxi back by ourselves."
"Shuowen is on the way." Song Xiaoshu said concisely.
Gu Qingyue hesitated for two seconds and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you in the parking lot."
Gu Qingyue hung up the phone and raised her hand to press the button for the underground first floor. Shu Miaomiao reminded her, "The underground first floor is the underground parking lot."
"Song Xiaoshu said he would take us back." Gu Qingyue explained, "Yang Shuowen will come to pick up He Qing later."
