The sky turned dark earlier and earlier.
Just as Lin Gantang was about to leave, Che Qin ran up to the shop and called out to her.
âI drew this when 1 saw you guys two days ago. Itâs for you.â Che Qin tore out a page from the sketchbook she had brought and handed it to her.
There were two people on the sketch paper. She was the one wearing the pearl bracelet while tidying up the bookshelf, and the curly-haired man sitting not far behind her with an opened book was Wen Yanqing.
There was a calico cat beside him, smiling and gazing at her. It was very lifelike.
âItâs really good.â Lin Gantang liked it very much and studied it carefully again.
Che Qin was holding newly-bought art relics in her arms. The wind blew at her hair and she tucked it behind her ear. â1 drew it casually. Itâs good that you like
Iâm going back. I probably wonât be able to come for the next two days.â
âIs there anything going on at home?â Lin Gantang asked.
Che Qin was silent for a moment. âRongqing is back.â
Lin Gantang understood. Zhang Rongqing was owed a favor, so Che Qin couldnât be as free as she was recently.
Lin Gantang wanted to remind her, but their relationship was not close enough to be good friends, so it was easy to cross the line.
âYour life is your own. You can decide how you want to go about it,â she finally said.
Che Qin nodded. The cold wind made her shiver. She hugged her book tightly.
âThen Iâll be leaving.â
âWait a moment.â
Lin Gantang returned to the shop and took out the cotton jacket she kept there. The long coat wrapped around her fully, and Che Qin felt warm all of a sudden. âRemember to pay attention to the weather the next time you go out.â âThank you.â Che Qin was moved.
When she arrived at Shengfang Group, the sky was showing signs of rain again. A small rain droplet landed on Lin Gantangâs face.
Lin Gantang jogged in. The wind blew her curly hair, and the pearls on her hair clip reflected the light of the incandescent lamp. It was very dazzling.
She went straight to Wen Yanqingâs office.
Yi Qian had just come out from the room. When he saw Lin Gantang, he politely called out âMiss Linâ and asked her to enter, gently closing the door. âYouâre here.â When Wen Yanqing saw her, his furrowed brows relaxed and he put down his pen.
Wen Yanqing was only wearing a white shirt. Although it was rather warm in the office, Lin Gantang felt that he was wearing too little.
âArenât you cold?â She touched his hand.
The other partyâs hand was warm, but it made her hand feel cold.
Wen Yanqing held her hands. âAre there strong winds outside?â
âYes, the temperature dropped all of a sudden. It seemed like it was going to rain again before I came in.â
âGo home directly next time. Itâs cold.â Wen Yanqing said, âI live near the company, so it doesnât matter. It was convenient to buy a house here at that time, but I didnât expect it to be so close to your bookstore now.â
Lin Gantang turned her palm to let him warm it up. âThatâs good.â
Lin Gantang did not understand what he meant and Wen Yanqing could not help but laugh.
âAlright, go and have a seat. Iâll finish my work quickly. Itâll be colder if we go back late.â
Lin Gantang responded and squeezed Wen Yanqingâs arm firmly before she left. âWhat are you doing?â Wen Yanqing asked when he saw her actions.
âItâs nothing.â
She thought again of Le Yuâs pale complexion.
Wen Yanqing was dressed neatly. Lin Gantang felt a little regretful that it was
not as convenient as wearing pajamas the day before.
Lin Gantang sat back down and opened Ye Qiuqiuâs WeChat. She sent her fatherâs favorite emoji â roses with the words âFate is precious, friendship is priceless, a lifetime of happiness, a lifetime of peaceâ written on them.
The large âGood eveningâ font was flashing.
Ye Qiuqiu asked, âBro, is something wrong? Youâre so free; what are you doing?â
Lin Gantang replied, âIâm in my boyfriendâs office, waiting for him to get off work.â
âBoyfriend, office, heheâ¦â
This laughter⦠âWhat are you doing?â
âWhat am 1 doing? 1 suggest you lock your office door and do something.
Heheheâ¦.â
