"Godfather, why are you so pessimistic today?"
"I’m getting old, Yangyang. Even your godfather is only human."
Gao Huizhi also took the opportunity to sit down.
At the square rosewood table they sat at, Xia Yangyang faced Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen kept his head down,
His gaze resting on the bowl of noodles just served.
But he didn’t pick up his chopsticks.
Xia Yangyang had already taken a bite.
Then she urged Gu Qichen, "Ah Chen, you should try the godfather’s cooking right away. His noodle cooking skills are probably even better than yours."
At the sa ti, Xia Yangyang proudly told Gao Huizhi, "Ah Chen is also good at cooking, just like godfather, they both have a talent for it."
Yet Gu Qichen still hadn’t picked up his chopsticks.
Seeming a bit out of control, he said, "Sorry, I need to make an important phone call."
After speaking, Gu Qichen got up and left.
Xia Yangyang had a mouthful of noodles.
She felt sothing was very wrong with Gu Qichen.
But for the mont, she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Xia Yangyang didn’t follow him out.
Because Gao Huizhi was sitting right there.
Gao Huizhi also watched Gu Qichen’s retreating figure, the color in the depths of his eyes subtly shifting.
Xia Yangyang felt a bit awkward, "Godfather, don’t mind him. Ah Chen is sotis like this, he might have so important work to do."
But Gu Qichen was gone for quite a while without returning.
Xia Yangyang ended up eating Gu Qichen’s bowl of noodles too.
She tried calling Gu Qichen, but couldn’t get through.
Xia Yangyang was kind of worried about Gu Qichen.
After finishing the al, she said goodbye to Gao Huizhi.
Gao Huizhi smiled warmly, "Go find him. I’ll be here these next few days. Visit whenever you have ti."
Xia Yangyang agreed and then went out to look for Gu Qichen.
What exactly was wrong with Gu Qichen?
Xia Yangyang couldn’t figure it out.
However, Xia Yangyang also sensed sothing.
It seed like Ah Chen didn’t like godfather.
Xia Yangyang hadn’t gone far before she saw Gu Qichen.
He was sitting on a stone bench at the far end of the alley.
In front of a grocery store.
His hands cupped his face as he sat there like a traveler struggling with sorrow.
Xia Yangyang approached him.
She squatted down.
Took Gu Qichen’s hands from his face and held them in her palms.
Xia Yangyang cautiously asked, "Ah Chen, what’s the matter with you?"
After seeing Gu Qichen’s face clearly, Xia Yangyang was taken aback.
For Gu Qichen’s eyes were red-rimd as if he had been crying.
He seed reluctant to let Xia Yangyang see him like this.
He turned his head away, "Yangyang, can you let be alone for a while now?"
Xia Yangyang, seeing Gu Qichen in this state, felt a pang of distress herself.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but ask, "Ah Chen, can you tell what’s going on? Why do you act this way whenever you see godfather..."
Xia Yangyang really couldn’t understand, could these two have t before?
Gu Qichen bowed his head and remained silent.
Yet he appeared to be in great discomfort.
It was an indescribable feeling, seemingly a hint of helplessness, but mostly agony.
Xia Yangyang insisted, "Ah Chen, what happened? Tell ."
Gu Qichen slowly lifted his head, seemingly regaining a semblance of calm.
Gu Qichen asked, "Yangyang, do you know that Gao Huizhi is Gao Wenbin?"
Xia Yangyang was utterly stunned.
It took her a long ti to recover.
She just stared with wide eyes, dazedly looking at Gu Qichen.
