She knew that Liang Doukou would be back on the tenth, but she didnât know when exactly they would exchange identities. Zhou Jing had just told her the specific date, the twelfth⦠There wasnât much time leftâ¦
Though the time for leaving hadnât come yet, when she thought of parting with Gu Yusheng, Qin Zhiâai felt faint disappointment and pain in her heart.
Her excited and moved mood, which had been caused by Gu Yushengâs words. had suddenly turned into sadness.
Looking out the window of the car, Qin Zhiâai suddenly had an impulse when they were driving closer to the familiar street of Gu Yushengâs villa.
She wanted to go with him and finally realize the dream that she had longed for when she was young, since it hadnât been realized yet.
Tonight will be my last chance to spend time with him. Heâs always too busy, but heâs free tonight. If I miss tonight, there will be no good opportunities like this in the future.
The more she thought, the stronger her impulse became. When Gu Yushengâs car was about to turn into the gates of the community, Qin Zhiâai couldnât help saying, âWait a minute!â
Gu Yusheng slammed on the brakes and turned to look at Qin Zhiâai.
Qin Zhiâai realized that she might have reacted too strongly. After she calmed down a little, she asked, âAre you free tonight?â
âYes.â Gu Yusheng nodded and looked into her eyes, still confused.
She had thought about saying certain words many times in her dreams, in a daze, while thinking of him over the past years, but when she was really about to say these words to him, Qin Zhiâai was still a little nervous. She gripped the bag in her hand with effort. Looking into Gu Yushengâs eyes, she wore the same look as the one she had when he hadnât asked for her address and simply sent her home, then sheâd had the courage to invite him to go to a movie. She didnât dare look at him directly. Even her voice was trembling as she said, âLet-letâs go to the movies.â
âNow?â It was probably because Qin Zhiâaiâs proposal was so abrupt that Gu Yusheng seemed a bit astonished.
âYes!â Qin Zhiâai nodded eagerly, with a firmness that she had never had before. âI mean right now.â
She didnât want to wait anymore. She didnât want to make plans for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the next Wednesday.
He would never know how nervous, expectant, and mentally strained she had been while she had waited for the promised date with him to watch a movie.
He would also never know how disappointed, sad, and depressed she had been after he had failed to show up to their plans two times in a row.
That was why she shouldnât have scheduled it in advance. Now, she could seize the opportunity, and there would be no accidents.
âNow, itâs time for dinnerââ
In fact, Gu Yusheng had wanted to say that after dinner, he would go with her, but before he finished his words, Qin Zhiâai couldnât wait to speak. âWeâll watch the movie first, then go to dinner, okay?â
When she said the last three words, her voice was trembling a bit, which made it sound like she was anxiously pleading.
Before Gu Yusheng responded to her, he turned the steering wheel and pulled into the cinema. âOkay.â
Qin Zhiâai seemed to have no regrets in her entire life, satisfied with his curved lips and laughter. He then quickly lowered his head and grabbed his phone to check the latest movies.
