Chapter 44
Gu Simin glared and said, "Sister Yu Nian, didn't you just greet her?"
Gu Qingyue was stunned for a moment, looking at Gu Simin, her voice hoarse: "Simin, you are not kidding me, are you?"
"How can this be a joke?" Gu Simin said, "Don't you know Sister Yu Nian? Don't you know?"
Gu Qingyue shook her head, her mind a jumble of thoughts. Mother Gu emerged from the ward and, noticing her rather grim complexion, asked with concern, "Qingyue, why are you so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Qingyue said, "It's okay."
Mother Gu asked Gu Simin, "Simin, are you going back with us first?"
Gu Simin didn't want to stay in the ward either, so she quickly agreed. She glanced at Gu Qingyue and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Qingyue didn't say anything, just shook her head slightly.
As they took the elevator, Gu Qingyue pulled out her phone, opened Zhou Yunian's WeChat, and sent her a message: "Sister Yunian, I want to meet you?"
It was not until I left the inpatient building that I received a reply from Zhou Yunian.
Gu Qingyue stopped walking, holding her phone, and looked at her mother: "Mom, you and Simin go back first. I'm going to meet a classmate."
Mother Gu didn't suspect anything and nodded, reminding her, "Don't play too late, come back early."
Ten minutes later, Zhou Yunian walked out of the glass revolving door.
Gu Qingyue watched her approach, then stood up. Zhou Yunian said, "Qingyue, let's talk in the car."
Gu Qingyue nodded, and the two of them got into the back seat, one in front and one behind. Zhou Yunian closed the door and spoke first: "Qingyue, what do you want to tell me?"
"Sister Yu Nian, what is your relationship with Third Uncle?" Gu Qingyue asked bluntly, "Si Min said you are Third Uncle's fiancée? Is this true?"
Zhou Yunian smiled and glanced at her, but didn't answer. Instead, he asked her, "Qingyue, do you like your Third Uncle?"
Gu Qingyue looked at her and admitted truthfully: "Yes."
Zhou Yunian looked out the window. After a while, he stared at Gu Qingyue with burning eyes: "Oh, now I understand why you seemed indifferent to me when we first met."
Gu Qingyue looked embarrassed. Zhou Yu couldn't bear to see her embarrassed, so he broke into laughter and said, "I'm just kidding. Hengsheng and I are indeed engaged, but it's just the idea of the older generation. I have a boyfriend now."
Gu Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while, she asked curiously, "Why don't you like him?"
"Oh, Gu Hengsheng isn't worth a hundred-dollar bill. He's not expected to be liked by everyone," Zhou Yunian joked, then continued, "I did have some feelings for him during high school, but I was sure he didn't have those feelings for me, so I kept my distance."
Gu Qingyue remained silent, digesting Zhou Yunian's words. Afterwards, she apologized for her previous attitude: "I'm sorry."
Zhou Yunian understood and said, "Have you told him what you are thinking?"
"No." Gu Qingyue shook her head.
"Why not?"
"I'm not sure." Gu Qingyue held her face with her hands and frowned in frustration.
Zhou Yunian lifted her long hair and said, "I think we have a chance of winning."
"Why?" It was Gu Qingyue's turn to ask.
"A bystander sees more clearly." Zhou Yunian played a trick on her, saying mysteriously, "I'll tell you when the time comes."
"You also said last time that you would solve a puzzle for me when we meet this time," Gu Qingyue brought up the past.
"Then just let me go back on my word for once." She was calm, without a trace of guilt on her face.
Gu Qingyue was stunned. This was probably her first time dealing with such a straightforward and casual person. With her limited social experience, she just blinked and compromised, "Okay."
"How about going to lunch with me?" Zhou Yunian was certain she wouldn't refuse, so he threw out another bait, "I'll tell you something about your third uncle abroad."
Gu Qingyue was eager to make a move, but after three seconds of silence, she said, "Okay."
Zhou Yunian smiled knowingly, as if she had guessed she would agree. Gu Qingyue blushed slightly. Zhou Yunian got out of the car, walked around to the driver's seat, opened the door and got in, and asked her what she wanted to eat.
Gu Qingyue calmed down and said, "Let's eat hot pot."
Zhou Yunian drove Gu Qingyue to a Haidilao restaurant in Yanjiang.
The two girls sat over a steaming pot of spicy beef fat soup. Zhou Yunian casually gathered her long hair into a pile and tucked it behind her ears. She picked up her chopsticks, put the tilapia into the pot, and curiously asked, "What do you like about Gu Hengsheng?"
Gu Qingyue shook her head: "I can't explain it in detail, but I just feel comfortable and happy being around him."
Through the swirling white mist, Zhou Yunian stared at her and said, "Qingyue, you're finished."
"What?" Gu Qingyue looked confused.
"It's okay for a girl of your age to like boys of the same age in school, but it's dangerous to fall in love with an outstanding man at first sight. His thoughtfulness and consideration make you attracted to him. No matter how many people you meet in the future, you will compare him with him again and again, which will make it even more difficult to let go." Zhou Yunian talked freely.
Gu Qingyue bit her chopsticks and said nothing.
Zhou Yunian took a sip of Coke and encouraged her, "You don't have to be disappointed. At least from my impression of Gu Hengsheng, he's not willing to be someone's personal chef, and for free."
Even so, Gu Qingyue still felt that her chances of winning were slim: "The more you say this, the more negative I become."
After they finished their hot pot, Zhou Yunian took Gu Qingyue back to the old house. Gu Qingyue got out of the car and brought a piece of Black Forest cake to Gu Simin's room before returning to her mother's room.
Mother Gu asked, "Which classmate are you meeting? Simin told me you might be meeting your boyfriend. Is there such a person?"
"No, it's Sister Yu Nian." Gu Qingyue was both amused and annoyed, and then asked, "Mom, is she Third Uncle's fiancée?"
"I'm not entirely clear on this matter. I only know that the Zhou family had a good relationship with your grandfather. Yu Nian grew up with your third uncle, and the old man later intended to arrange this marriage. As your third uncle grew older, he came home less and less often. Whether this marriage is still in progress is now unresolved." Mother Gu looked at her. "Why do you ask this?"
"Oh, I was a little surprised to hear Simin mention it. I haven't heard my third uncle mention it either." Gu Qingyue felt a little guilty.
Mother Gu sighed, looked at her daughter, and said, "You've been getting a little close to your Third Uncle lately. If there's nothing wrong, you should go to your Third Uncle less often."
Gu Qingyue looked at Mother Gu and asked sensitively, "Did someone say anything?"
Mother Gu smiled and said, "That's not the case. It's just that the Gu family has always had a large population. It's okay for you to go to your third uncle's place. I'm just worried that someone might make a fuss about it. Besides, it won't have a good impact on your third uncle."
Gu Qingyue said nothing, was silent for a moment, and just said that she understood.
