He Zhichu looked at Gu Yanran, and his usually indifferent expression appeared slightly feigned for a moment. Then, like a raindrop melting into the ocean, it was gone without a trace. Gu Nianzhi glanced at He Zhichu and saw him smile briefly at Gu Yanran so she also nodded politely. "Miss Gu," she said. Then she turned to Xue Jingjiang. "Brother Xue, are you having dinner with Miss Gu?"
"Of course! That's why I'm here. Unfortunately, she's not accepting my offer!" Xue Jingjiang winked. "Hmm? You're not with Huo Shao?" This was a tricky question. Gu Nianzhi knew if she didn't answer correctly, she could give the wrong impression.Ā
Gu Nianzhi played along with him. "It's Sunday night. Huo Shao has to work, and I have school. When can we have dinner together, Xue Jingjiang?"
