Chapter 61
Gu Hengsheng drove Gu Qingyue to a traditional dim sum shop in Macau. This teahouse was located in a restaurant. The spacious hall was crowded with more than a dozen large round tables covered with red and white checkered tablecloths, which was no different from the teahouses shown in early Hong Kong movies.
At this time, there were already quite a few people sitting around, most of them elderly. Young people rarely get up early, so naturally, they wouldn't bother going to a morning tea place for breakfast.
In fact, like most young people, Gu Qingyue had no habit of eating breakfast. Getting up so early with him and having breakfast in this restaurant full of the atmosphere of fireworks was indeed a fresh experience.
Before sitting down, Gu Hengsheng thoughtfully pulled out a chair for Gu Qingyue. After Gu Qingyue sat down, he pulled out a chair next to him and sat down. A waiter came forward and asked the two what they would like to order.
Gu Qingyue said she wanted some porridge and handed the menu to Gu Hengsheng. In front of him, she was content to be hands-off. He knew her eating habits well, and he wasn't afraid of her ordering the wrong thing. In other words, even if he did, she would be happy to eat it. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, feeling the greatness of her love.
Gu Hengsheng took the menu and, holding a black pen, his eyes fell on the order sheet. Gu Qingyue reminded him, "I don't eat much breakfast."
Gu Hengsheng nodded, understanding what she meant.
Gu Qingyue rested her chin on one hand and leisurely looked around. After a moment, she retracted her gaze and fell on the man opposite her: "This is my first time to have morning tea in a restaurant."
Gu Hengsheng brought a plain white porcelain pot, poured a cup of hot tea, and placed it next to her: "Really? How do you feel?"
"Very homely, very warm." After the words fell, Gu Qingyue tore open the packaging of a pair of disposable chopsticks and said, "Having breakfast tea, does it count as our first date?"
Hearing this, Gu Hengsheng smiled and said, "If you think it is, then it is."
Gu Qingyue half-jokingly said, "Perhaps this is the only experience I have when I'm with you."
Gu Hengsheng just smiled without saying anything, knowing that the girl was hinting at his old-fashioned lifestyle.
The waiter brought the food that Gu Hengsheng ordered: two servings of boat porridge, a plate of shrimp dumplings, a plate of chicken feet in black bean sauce, and a plate of steamed pork ribs with pumpkin.
After the waiter left, Gu Hengsheng picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Gu Qingyue's bowl: "Try it, this pumpkin steamed pork ribs tastes good."
Gu Qingyue put it in her mouth. The ribs were soft and sticky, mixed with the sweetness of pumpkin, and had a soft sandy texture. Gu Qingyue's eyebrows relaxed, and she looked very happy. She said, "It's delicious."
After finishing half a bowl of boat porridge and two shrimp dumplings, Gu Qingyue put down her chopsticks and watched Gu Hengsheng eat his breakfast. He ate with great manners, showing a good manners and a good attitude, neither hurried nor slow. Gu Qingyue found watching him eat a real treat.
She rested her chin on one hand as she watched him finish a bowl of Dingzai Zhou and then go get the rest of the food. She asked curiously, "Does it make you uncomfortable if I stare at you while you eat?"
Gu Hengsheng shook his head and asked, "Why do you have this problem?"
Gu Qingyue nodded and said rather depressedly, "It's okay with people I know, but once strangers are around, I feel like I'm covered in a layer of transparent plastic film and can't eat freely."
After hearing this, Gu Hengsheng smiled.
After they finished their morning tea, Gu Qingyue went to the bathroom. Gu Hengsheng was waiting for her in the corridor. Five minutes later, Gu Qingyue came out. Her lips, which were originally a slightly lighter color, were now a deep plum red.
She had no makeup on, her face was bare, and her lips were such a rich plum red, which made her youthful yet had an indescribable charm that made people want to take a second look and taste the intoxicating soft red.
When she came closer, Gu Hengsheng asked her to look up. Gu Qingyue looked confused, but still did as he said. She felt the touch of his fingertips on her lips, like a feather gently brushing the corner of her lips, softly. He took his fingers away from her lips and said, "Okay."
Gu Qingyue's eyes fell on his fingertips, where a faint trace of lipstick remained. Gu Qingyue swallowed and said softly, "I thought you were going to kiss me just now."
Gu Hengsheng looked gentle and said, "I really want to, but this is not an appropriate occasion."
Gu Hengsheng was going to the company soon, so he asked Jiang Wenkui to take Gu Qingyue back to the hotel. Jiang Wenkui had just called and said he was stuck in traffic and would probably be late.
Gu Hengsheng accompanied Gu Qingyue for a walk near the restaurant. When they passed a drugstore, Gu Qingyue seemed to remember something, stopped, and said, "I'm going in to buy something. Wait for me."
Before Gu Hengsheng could say anything, Gu Qingyue had already run in. She was wearing an apricot long skirt with a mint green sweater over it. She stood leisurely beside the glass medicine cabinet, talking to the pharmacist.
Then, across the glass medicine cabinet, the pharmacist handed her a box of medicine.
She took out her cell phone and scanned the QR code on the glass cabinet, picked up the medicine box from the glass cabinet, and walked out of the pharmacy.
Gu Hengsheng saw her approaching and asked, "What did you buy?"
Gu Qingyue handed him the medicine box and explained in a gentle voice, "I heard you coughing a little last night."
Gu Hengsheng lowered his head. She held a box of throat lozenges in her hand. He stared at her for a moment and said, "Thank you."
Ten minutes later, Jiang Wenkui came to pick up Gu Qingyue back to the hotel.
Gu Qingyue got in the car. When Jiang Wenkui saw her again, she looked normal and had the demeanor of a professional elite. She must have digested the little joke she made after last night's rest.
Gu Qingyue struck up a conversation with him and asked, "How many days will you stay in Macau?"
"It will take another week." Jiang Wenkui said.
Gu Qingyue was very curious: "What is my third uncle like at work?"
Jiang Wenkui hesitated for a moment, as if pondering how to answer this question. Gu Qingyue said, "I don't mean anything else. If you don't feel comfortable answering, then don't answer."
Jiang Wenkui cleared his throat and said, "No, Mr. Gu is a sensible boss."
Gu Qingyue's curiosity was piqued, and she listened with rapt interest as Jiang Wenkui recounted several stories. When the car stopped at the hotel, she thanked Jiang Wenkui, opened the door, and got out.
Gu Qingyue returned to the hotel, but never expected to meet Song Xiaoshu in the lobby.
That night she sent him a message, but Song Xiaoshu didn't reply. She thought they would probably have no contact with each other from then on. To be honest, Gu Qingyue felt guilty towards Song Xiaoshu. She did take advantage of him, but Gu Qingyue felt that Song Xiaoshu actually knew everything in his heart, and since he didn't expose it, she took advantage of it. In the final analysis, she was indeed a little ignorant.
Song Xiaoshu was wearing a dark blue sweater with a white striped shirt underneath. He put one hand in his pocket, looked at her face, and said, "Is Third Uncle Gu with you?"
Gu Qingyue didn't say anything.
Song Xiaoshu added, "I just saw Jiang Wenkui."
Gu Qingyue understood and said, "I thought you probably never wanted to see me again."
Song Xiaoshu sneered and said, "Your perception is quite accurate. I did think so."
Gu Qingyue remained silent, and Song Xiaoshu continued, "Have you ever thought about how your family would view you being with him? Would they accept you?"
"I don't want to think about these things. I just want to be with him." Gu Qingyue said stubbornly.
Song Xiaoshu smiled and nodded, saying, "In a couple of days, my dad will have Uncle Gu come over for dinner. Aren't you his girlfriend now? He should bring you over, right?"
