Back Then, I Adored You

Take me to the B2 parking lot? So he… he won’t go to Chen’s with me?

After Qin Yang agreed to help Gu Yusheng, Qin Zhi’ai couldn’t help but shout his name, “Gu, Gu Yusheng?”

Gu Yusheng was about to move forward, but after he heard her voice, he stopped.

“Di-Didn’t you want to go to Chen’s?” Qin Zhi’ai stared at Gu Yusheng’s back and asked in a very low voice.

“I’m not in the mood now. You go if you want!” Without any hesitation, Gu Yusheng gave her a direct answer after she asked.

As clear and definite as his refusal was, Qin Zhi’ai suddenly had no idea what to say. She pressed her lips together slightly and cast her eyes down.

Gu Yusheng had no intention of turning around, so he stood with his back to her for a moment, then pulled the door open and stepped out.

The atmosphere in the room froze for an instant, then Qin Yang immediately broke the silence, and said, “Wait for a sec! I have to say something to my captain, then I’ll accompany you to the parking lot.”

Qin Zhi’ai turned, shook her head at Qin Yang, and forced herself to make a slight smile, saying, “No, you don’t have to. I’ll go by myself.”

“But the accident just ended, and it’s still blocked down there. You can’t get out without me.” After a pause, Qin Yang continued, “Besides, Captain Gu told me to take you there, so I have to keep my word.”

Saying that, he smiled to Qin Zhi’ai, and with the gun in his arms, pointed at the door, saying, “Let’s go downstairs first.”

Outside of the coffee shop, right in the spot where the criminals had just stood, the three criminals had already been subdued. The passengers hurt by the car crashing into them had been taken to the hospital by the ambulance, the little boy hijacked by the criminals was crying and shivering in his mother’s arms, and the policemen were cleaning the blood around the spot… But Gu Yusheng had already gone.

Qin Yang had asked Qin Zhi’ai to wait for him, then ran to the police car with the box. He first said something to his colleagues, then threw the box to one of them, waved his hand, and ran back to Qin Zhi’ai, apologizing, “Sorry to make you wait, let’s go now.”

Qin Zhi’ai smiled slightly and responded, ” Don’t be.”

“Let’s go.” Qin Yang pointed in the direction that Qin Zhi’ai and Gu Yusheng had come from.

Qin Zhi’ai nodded without saying anything, then started walking with him.

This was the first time that they had met, so they were unfamiliar with each other and had nothing in common to talk about. Probably, Qin Yang felt it was awkward to just walk, so when he lit a cigarette, he suddenly raised a question to Qin Zhi’ai. “Are you dating Captain Gu?”

Am I dating him? Qin Zhi’ai really didn’t know how to answer the question, so she just smiled and chose a question that she was curious about to divert the topic. “Why do you call him Captain Gu?”

“Well…” Qin Yang blew out a smoke ring, saying, “…he was my captain when we were in the army…”

About the past, Qin Yang obviously had a bunch of topics to discuss, but all he talked about was Gu Yusheng—a cold and indifferent man.
