Of course, Qin Zhi’ai would not ask about it.
No one else knew about Gu Yusheng except for Xu Wennuan, and that’s how she wanted to keep it.
The name Gu Yusheng completely disappeared from her world, and Qin Zhi’ai was coming to terms with this destiny.
After Chinese New Year, though, on her first day back from Beijing, she had seen him, and then she had seen him again a few days later.
Back then she had thought the world was so small that she wouldn’t be able to avoid him. Eventually, though, the world seemed so enormous that she had never expected to run into him again. Even when passing the Gu Company a few times, she hadn’t seen him. Once she had even been stuck in traffic on the bus for an hour in front of his company, and she never saw him, not even his car.
The days were getting warmer after Chinese New Year. Qin Zhi’ai continued living her modest life, traveling only among the classroom, the library, and the cafeteria.
Because she had postponed school for eighteen months, everyone in her class was younger than her. A few guys in her class had secretly written love letters to her without caring about their age difference, but most of them had given up when she never responded.
There was one special guy, though, who had not given up, and he continued to write letters to her. In fact, she had received some thirty love letters from that boy in the first month, but she had never responded nor even learned his name.
As spring approached, the days became sunnier and longer. When Qin Zhi’ai got tired of reading in the library, she would sometimes stare out the window for long periods of time thinking about Gu Yusheng.
As the flowers began blooming on the streets in the city, Qin Zhi’ai finally heard news about Gu Yusheng or, more specifically, about the Gu Company.
Eating lunch and watching TV in the school cafeteria, the news on the Finance Channel caught her attention.
“The real estate business has been a significant portion of the Gu Company business, but the company has recently decided to focus more on IT. They have announced their headquarters will be in Shanghai. The current CEO of the Gu Company will be in charge of this new project in Shanghai.”
The report was short, and they quickly moved onto the next topic.
Qin Zhi’ai stared at the TV anchor while holding her chopsticks in mid-air, her mind reeling with what this news meant.
Isn’t Gu Yusheng the current CEO, now in charge of the project in Shanghai? Does this mean he’s going to Shanghai? He won’t be in Beijing anymore?
Qin Zhi’ai suddenly felt disappointed realizing she would never again run into him in Beijing. This thought distracted her throughout the rest of her classes that afternoon.
She went home after school but was not in the mood to cook. She hugged a pillow on the sofa while searching on her phone for news about the Gu Company. Much of the media was reporting the announcement, and some even reported that Gu Yusheng’s departure to Shanghai would be in two days.
Xue Wennuan came home early. Qin Zhi’ai closed the news on the phone when she heard the door.
