“Hunan!” She answered honestly. Suddenly, she remembered Cloud Lei’s previous blind date experience, where the man also looked presentable and claimed to be a business elite but performed terribly, ending with an “sent by mistake” message. Thinking of Cai Ming’s line to Guo Da during the 2009 Spring Festival Gala, “You’re driving me crazy!”, Chu Yue couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Shen Chu Yue!” Lin Lan called out angrily. Chu Yue came back to herself, “Ah?”
Huang Binghao stood up, looking somewhat embarrassed. Lin Lan had said she would introduce him to a woman, and since Lin Lan was beautiful, he assumed her friend would be similarly attractive. Unexpectedly, the first meeting saw her arrive late by forty minutes! That might have been forgiven, but Lin Lan claimed she was talented and beautiful. However, in his view, she wasn’t as attractive as Lin Lan and seemed absent-minded. It was clear she was dragged here by Lin Lan. He smiled slightly, “Miss Shen seems to be in a bad mood today. Let’s reschedule. Lin Lan, I have something to do, so I’ll leave now. Could you please send Miss Shen home? Thank you!” After these polite words, he turned and left.
Out of the supermarket, she happened to run into Aunt Shen from the neighborhood committee. Because they shared the same surname, they felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy and were slightly more familiar with each other than usual. “Is that Chu’e?” Aunt Shen spotted them immediately and greeted them warmly, “Buying groceries? Oh, is this your boyfriend? He looks so handsome…”
Chu’e felt embarrassed and wanted to explain, but didn’t know how. If he wasn’t her boyfriend, how could she have brought him home for a meal? Seeing Gu Yanzheng standing behind with a smiling face, not clarifying anything and showing no displeasure, she could only let Aunt Shen misunderstand. She mumbled in agreement and then pulled Gu Yanzheng away.
“I’m sorry, I let Aunt Shen misunderstand our relationship. Don’t take it to heart!” Chu’e looked at Gu Yanzheng and said softly.
Gu Yanzheng just smiled without speaking, a strange light flickering in his deep eyes.
Back home, Chu’e changed her clothes and walked into the kitchen. Gu Yanzheng followed her in. Chu’e was startled, “What, are you really going to help?”
