Chapter 442
442 gu qingqing’s strangeness
Su mu called Jing Hailan over, and the four of them strolled around the SU family’s old house for more than an hour before sitting down in the courtyard to bask in the sun. Jiang che and su mu were sitting and drinking tea, while Shi Yan and Jing Hailan were playing chess.
the people around the go board changed several times, and it was lunchtime.
After having lunch at the SU family’s house, Jiang che and Shi Yan left.
shi yan and gu qingqing had agreed to meet in the afternoon. shi yan wasn’t in a hurry to go, so the two of them went to the largest bookstore in haicheng to buy books. After buying the books, the two of them didn’t leave immediately. Instead, they each took a book and sat in the bookstore to read.
He spent the entire afternoon reading.
gu qingqing had an appointment with shi yan, but jiang che didn’t go with shi yan. after sending shi yan to her destination, he went to jade restaurant.
Knowing that Shi Yan wanted him to take a look at Gu Qingqing’s physical condition, he went to the Jade Restaurant to wait for the two of them and have dinner while he was there.
The restaurant that Gu Qing Qing chose wasn’t in the city, but in a very quiet alley.
However, even if it was very remote, Shi Yan knew this place. When she first arrived in Haicheng, Jiang Rui had accompanied her to play in Haicheng for a month. They had visited many places and had come to this restaurant before.
it was an old restaurant with good food.
“yanyan, over here!”
shi yan got off the car at the entrance of the alley, which took a few minutes to walk from.
When he saw the restaurant that Gu Qingqing had chosen, he heard her voice.
gu qingqing was standing in the corner outside the restaurant, waving at her.
gu qing qing was still wearing her white dress, and she stood there as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
shi yan returned her smile and walked closer.”Sister Qingqing, have you been waiting for a long time?”
“no, i just arrived. let’s go in.”
gu qingqing had already made a reservation.
She should be a regular here. Almost all the waiters here knew her. Ever since she walked into the restaurant, she had heard people greeting her, and they all called her ” teacher Gu.
after sitting down in a relatively quiet room, shi yan thanked gu qingqing and took the tea that she poured. she looked around and asked with a smile, sister Qingqing, you seem very familiar with this place. Do you come here often? ”
“I don’t come here often, only a few times. But not long ago, there was an anniversary event here and they needed a zither player. I know the boss here, so I came to help.”
“so that’s how it is.”
“You want to order?” Gu Qingqing asked with a smile, holding the menu.
“I’m not familiar with this place. Sister Qingqing, you can order. I’m fine with anything.”
“alright,” he said.
gu qingqing didn’t order many dishes, only three dishes and one soup. it was enough for two people.
after ordering the dishes and keeping the menu, they naturally had to chat a little while waiting for the dishes.
gu qing qing started the conversation.
“I left the number you gave me that day, but I didn’t call this number.” her smile was a little forced and bitter.
since the last time she saw shi yan, she would sit at her desk and stare at the note with the phone number on it for a long time every night. it wasn’t that he didn’t think of calling her, but after hesitating for a long time and many times, he didn’t make the call in the end.
gu qingqing wasn’t like someone who didn’t know what to do. she didn’t need anyone to persuade her, she just wanted to find an audience.
shi yan could probably guess what she was thinking, so she didn’t say anything and only poured her a cup of tea.
Be an audience quietly.
“i’ve always had news of your third brother, but i’ve always avoided getting his contact information. the number you gave me is the first time i’ve had his exact contact information in nine years. even though i didn’t manage to make the call, i’m still very grateful to you.”
“Thank you, Yanyan.”
Gu Qingqing had said it so clearly because she knew that Shi Yan could tell that Shi Bo lived with her and that they weren’t ordinary friends or old classmates.
“It’s nothing. Sister Qingqing, you don’t have to be so polite.”
Shi Yan looked up at her and only felt that her smile was bitter and gentle. He didn’t know what she was feeling, but her smile could actually contain both bitterness and gentleness.
After a pause, Shi Yan said,”most of the time, there’s no need to have so many concerns. Just follow your heart.” sister qingqing, have you ever thought that my third brother might be waiting for you to contact him?”
“Of course, this is just my guess. I haven’t had much contact with third brother in nine years.”
Gu Qingqing was worried that she would be reminded of her sad past, so she quickly smiled and said, ” hey, look at me. I’ve asked you out to talk about this and made the atmosphere heavy. Let’s not talk about this.
“Have you been busy with your studies?”
“It’s alright. I’m not too busy,” Shi Yan said as she glanced at her.
“it’s good that you’re not busy. i haven’t had a good time in university because of my family. was college life interesting? Won’t You Be able to make a lot of friends with similar interests?”
“we might not have the same interests, but it’s possible to make a few friends who can get along. Sister Qingqing is only a few years older than me. We are the same age when we stand together. If sister Qingqing is interested, you can go to school to experience it. ”
“You really know how to praise people,” Gu Qingqing laughed.
“I do want to experience it, but it’s fine if I go back to school and become a student. When I’m free and you’re not busy, I’ll go to your school to find you. You can just take me around the campus to experience it. I’ll have to trouble you to be my guide then.”
” sure. sister qingqing, you can contact me whenever you want to go. my time is more free and i don’t have to go to class step by step. i’m free whenever you go. ”
“that’s right, i was on duty on the day you held the apprenticeship banquet at the jade restaurant. i heard that you applied for a master’s degree and phd, and your teacher will personally guide you. In this case, you really don’t need to go to class step by step.”
on the day of the apprenticeship banquet, shi yan did not see gu qingqing, but she heard the sound of her zither.
the sound of gu qing qing’s zither came from the zither room of the jade eatery.
“then i’ll come to play with you after i change shifts in a few days?” gu qing qing was filled with anticipation.
at least shi yan saw anticipation in her eyes. however, there seemed to be something else in her anticipation that shi yan couldn’t understand.
“Sure,” Shi Yan replied with a faint smile.
” i heard that you major in history. is your major under the faculty of arts? ”
It was a normal topic of conversation, but Shi Yan felt a little strange that she and Gu Qingqing were talking about it together.
He couldn’t tell what was strange about it.
she just felt that gu qingqing wouldn’t take the initiative to talk about this with someone she wasn’t familiar with.
“Yes, I am.”
“do you have many majors in the faculty of arts? What are the specializations?”
“it’s not a lot. compared to other colleges, our college has fewer majors. there’s history, chinese language and literature, classical literature, journalism, radio and television, and so on. ”
These could be easily found on the internet.
so, gu qingqing was simply looking for a topic to chat about?
” i majored in journalism when i was in the school. it’s a pity that i didn’t attend any classes, so i don’t know much about it. ” gu qing qing laughed.
