Forbidden to Flirt and Run 37 p1

Chapter 37 p1

Da Niu… dog… (Da Niu literally translates to “Big Bull” )

Xu Qingtang really wanted to find a block of tofu and smash her head against it.

Taking the opportunity to pour water for the two of them, Xu Qingtang sent a message to Gu Yizhi.

Her aunt had said she was here to see Gu Yizhi, but Xu Qingtang didn’t think so, because she had been smiling gently at her the whole time and hadn’t mentioned Gu Yizhi.

After learning that she was a Peking Opera actress, her aunt held the husky’s head and asked softly, “Do you work at the Lin City Peking Opera Theater?”

Xu Qingtang nodded. “Didn’t Yizhi tell you?”

She had thought that after last night, Gu Yizhi would be interrogated—this was an experience she had summarized from her friends.

Her aunt: “She mentioned it a few times before, but I didn’t ask in detail.”

After her aunt found out that Xu Qingtang’s teacher was Yang Yihua, the two of them started talking. The three of them and the dog had a very pleasant chat, and Xu Qingtang also learned a few things that Gu Yizhi hadn’t told her.

For example, Gu Yizhi’s parents’ marriage was not happy, and they were rarely at home.

And, her aunt had thought they had been dating for a long time, saying that Gu Yizhi had mentioned having a girl she liked more than a year ago. At first, her aunt hadn’t believed it, but it turned out to be true.

At first, Xu Qingtang felt heartbroken, but in the end, she felt a pang in her heart.

When Gu Yizhi returned to the hotel with Xu Qingtang’s luggage, her aunt had already left with the dog and the person.

Xu Qingtang took the suitcase and put it away. As she was looking at the return flight tickets, Gu Yizhi sat down beside her and happened to see her aunt’s message pop up on the screen. She smiled. “You’re so likable.”

“Of course,” Xu Qingtang nodded unceremoniously. “Your aunt is also very easy to get along with. We talked a lot, hmm, mostly about you.”

Gu Yizhi smiled. “What did you talk about?”

Xu Qingtang tilted her head, as if thinking, and the next second, she started to talk nonsense. “Oh, I remember. She said that when you were a child, a fortune-teller told you that you would meet me in the future, like me, and have a secret crush on me for a long time before we got together.”

Gu Yizhi knew that this was not true, but she still nodded. “That’s right.”

Just as Xu Qingtang had finished buying the ticket and was looking at the flight information, another message popped up on the screen. It was a text message from an unknown number.

Xu Qingtang opened it and glanced at it. She quickly recognized the sender as Lin Huaijia. She said she was sorry for her past behavior, didn’t expect to be forgiven, hoped she was happy, and hoped they could meet again and chat like friends. In the end, she also mentioned the matter of seeing snow.

Xu Qingtang directly deleted and blocked her.

Just as she finished, Gu Yizhi’s voice came from the side. “Why didn’t you reply?”

Xu Qingtang blinked. Just as she was about to blurt out, “You want me to reply?”, she thought of last night and immediately pulled back her survival instinct. “Why should I reply? We haven’t been in contact for a long time. Besides, with Gu Zhizhi by my side, why should I waste that time chatting with someone else?”

Gu Yizhi called her “Your Highness.” Xu Qingtang felt that when someone was jealous, they were more like a princess, very difficult to please.

The princess’s tone was cold. “Can you waste time when I’m not here?”

“No, no, no. Wasting time is wasting life. I want to live a long life with you.”

The princess finally turned to look at her and smiled. “Such a sweet mouth.”

This time, Xu Qingtang could understand King You of Zhou who had played with the feudal lords a little. There was no way around it. Gu Yizhi’s smile was really too beautiful. But her heart hadn’t been sweet for long before she couldn’t help but feel sour, as if she had been poured a bottle of Shanxi aged vinegar.

She moved to the side, first replied to her colleagues’ messages in the group chat, and then said nonchalantly, “You know all about my affairs. What about yours? Shouldn’t you also make it clear?”

Gu Yizhi smiled. “My what?”

Xu Qingtang: “Your white moonlight from more than a year ago.”

With that, Xu Qingtang moved to the side again to show her seriousness. “I know everything. We should be honest with each other.”

She glimpsed Gu Yizhi’s faint smile. “You mean this.”

Xu Qingtang looked up. “Yes. Was it a one-sided crush or did you date?”

Gu Yizhi: “One-sided.”

Xu Qingtang’s heart was bubbling with sourness. “Then she must be a nice person, right?”

Gu Yizhi glanced at her. Xu Qingtang immediately said, “Go on. I’m not angry. I just want to know.”

“She’s quite nice, pretty and special.”

“Oh, then why didn’t you make it clear?”

Gu Yizhi smiled faintly. “I missed it. I could never run into her back then, and later I heard she had a girlfriend.”

Xu Qingtang had already learned firsthand how powerful a white moonlight could be from Gu Yizhi. She said, half-sour, half-sentimental, “She didn’t even notice you when you’re so good?”

Gu Yizhi didn’t answer, just asked, “I have her photo. Do you want to see it?”

Xu Qingtang gritted her teeth. “Yes.”

After seeing it, she would have to deal with Gu Yizhi properly. She still had someone else’s photo!

Xu Qingtang deliberately put on an indifferent look. When Gu Yizhi held her phone in front of her, she only glanced at it, but the screen was off, and on it was only Xu Qingtang’s own face, and Gu Yizhi’s voice in her ear.

“Miss Xu, why didn’t you notice me?”

Xu Qingtang found it a little funny and shot her a glare. “You’re so boring. You’re just teasing me, aren’t you?”

“Didn’t you know everything?”

When Gu Yizhi leaned closer, Xu Qingtang smelled the faint perfume on her. She thought about her words and found it a little hard to believe. “It’s really me?”

Gu Yizhi: “It’s you.”

How to describe this feeling? Xu Qingtang felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky and hit her, making her heart bloom with joy. Her eyes lit up, and she feigned composure. “Ah? How did I not know?”

So all those times Gu Yizhi had admitted to coveting her for a long time, she wasn’t just saying sweet nothings to tease her.

Sincerity was always a killer move. Unfortunately, Xu Qingtang was a worldly person and had never believed it.

For this, she began to secretly repent.

Gu Yizhi laughed. “I’d like to know too.”

Xu Qingtang really wanted to get to the bottom of it, to know when Gu Yizhi had started to have a crush on her. Although it didn’t mean much, there was no way around it. She was a worldly person.

But Xu Qingtang really couldn’t remember when they had had any contact before, and she felt it was not good to ask directly, so she stood up and called room service for a bottle of wine.

Wine was a regulator, making it less awkward for her to ask.

The staff quickly brought it up. Xu Qingtang first sighed that it was so boring, then poured two glasses, and then stared straight at Gu Yizhi, starting to make small talk to pave the way for her purpose. “You’re looking at me like that. Do you have a question for me?”

Gu Yizhi asked, “Are you trying to get me drunk?”

Xu Qingtang: …

Am I that obvious?

Of course, Xu Qingtang wouldn’t admit it. “How could I? I just want to have a drink with you.” She took a sip and continued logically, “How about this? Since we’re bored anyway, why don’t we play something else? For every question you answer, you get a sip of wine. What do you think?”

This rule was truly ridiculous and absurd.

But that wasn’t important. What was important was that Gu Yizhi was very cooperative. “Alright.”

Xu Qingtang was very satisfied. She showed her sincerity. “You go first.”

Gu Yizhi hummed in agreement. “What are you going to do after I’m drunk?”

Xu Qingtang: “…Of course, I’m not going to do anything.”

She took a sip, then asked two irrelevant questions as a smokescreen, and finally revealed her purpose. “Why did you like me back then?”

“You’re cute.”

It was the second time she had heard the word “cute” from Gu Yizhi’s mouth.

Xu Qingtang felt as if she had gotten an answer, but also as if she hadn’t. She stood up to pour some wine, but she felt a strong sense of swaying. She was surprised. She had only had a little…

As she was puzzled, Xu Qingtang began to feel unsteady on her feet, and then, very much like in an idol drama, she fell into Gu Yizhi’s arms.

When she had steadied herself in Gu Yizhi’s arms, she found that it wasn’t her who was drunk, but the room was shaking…

Earthquakes were frequent. The hotels in City C were basically equipped with flashlights. Gu Yizhi took one and led Xu Qingtang to the bathroom.
