Listening to Boss Du’s words, Gu Tiantian couldn’t help but take another look at Xu Ziqiao.
Seeing Xu Ziqiao protecting Dong Tong, preventing her from being jostled by others, his gentle attentiveness had a hint of indulgent affection, which made Gu Tiantian feel all kinds of envy.
Today, she was literally a third wheel!
Thinking of this, Gu Tiantian couldn’t help smacking her lips, deciding to make a quick exit.
Four dishes and one soup, the taste was quite good, and indeed, as Dong Tong said, it was good quality and inexpensive.
Gu Tiantian finished eating as quickly as possible, then watched as Xu Ziqiao was still picking fish bones for Dong Tong, while Dong Tong was talking to her.
"Tian Tian, we don’t have classes this afternoon, why don’t we hang out together?"
Gu Tiantian quickly shook her head. She was really being an unnecessary third wheel today, better to make a quick escape.
What Gu Tiantian didn’t expect was that Xu Ziqiao suddenly looked at her while picking out fish bones.
"Tongtong rarely finds a classmate she likes, if you don’t mind, accompany Tongtong for so shopping this afternoon. I have to go back to campus for sothing and was just worried there’d be no one to accompany her."
Gu Tiantian was a bit stunned; she didn’t believe for a second that Xu Ziqiao truly had sothing to do back at school.
Dong Tong quickly nodded, grabbing Gu Tiantian’s hand.
"Yeah, yeah, Tian Tian, co shopping with this afternoon. Ugh, you have no idea, shopping alone is super boring."
Just as Gu Tiantian was about to refuse, Xu Ziqiao spoke again with a smile.
"Tian Tian, just say yes to Tongtong, otherwise she’ll pester you all afternoon until you agree."
Gu Tiantian: "..."
Dong Tong frowned and glared at Xu Ziqiao, clearly unhappy with him revealing her secrets.
Xu Ziqiao continued to smile good-naturedly, placing the deboned fish onto the plate in front of Dong Tong.
"Hurry up and eat, and then go shopping to help digest the food."
Dong Tong’s attention was imdiately captured by Xu Ziqiao’s words, and she even forgot to glare at him.
Watching the pair, Gu Tiantian felt more and more envious.
Bai Chenyao’s face flashed through her mind, thinking of his domineering and aloof nature, she blinked and took a sip of juice.
After leaving the restaurant, Xu Ziqiao took her and Dong Tong to the pedestrian street and then drove off.
The two of them spent the whole afternoon strolling without buying anything, just aimlessly walking around.
Dong Tong wasn’t in the mood to buy clothes; her mind was on Gu Tiantian, wanting to know more about her, and curious about how such a delicate and pretty girl ended up with her iceberg cousin.
But every ti she intentionally or unintentionally brought up the topic of boyfriends, Gu Tiantian would smoothly change the subject.
Dong Tong was anxious but knew not to overdo it.
Otherwise, Gu Tiantian might sense her intent and think she was investigating her.
After spending an afternoon with Gu Tiantian, Dong Tong really liked her personality.
She appeared soft and cute, but spoke and acted decisively, which was very much to Dong Tong’s liking.
Dong Tong felt that even without her cousin, she’d still beco good friends with Gu Tiantian.
As for Gu Tiantian, she was just accompanying Dong Tong shopping.
Also, it was a way to unwind.
As for buying things, thinking about all the clothes, shoes, and bags in her closet still with tags, she lost the urge to shop.
Xu Ziqiao ca to pick them up at exactly five in the afternoon after finishing his business.
Gu Tiantian intended to take the bus back, but Dong Tong forcefully pulled her into the car.
"Why squeeze on the bus when there’s a free taxi ride? Tian Tian, you’re being so silly right now!"
Gu Tiantian: "..."
[About Dong Tong, even though she appears late, there’s more to her story later.]
