He leaned against the sofa with his legs crossed. With a cigarette between his fingers, he raised his head, slowly expelling the smoke. He appeared very elegant, but with a peculiar rashness. The combination of these two temperaments would not make people feel unpleasant, rather, they would notice his great charm.

Qin Zhi’ai’s steps stagnated for a while before she continued calmly walking forward.

She bent over, put her cup on the coffee table, and looked up at Gu Yusheng. This was her first look at his face since their unexpected meeting eight months prior.

Due to the smoke, she could not see his eyes clearly, but she could still feel that they were calm and peaceful. His skin was fair and delicate, even better than the skin of many women, and his face contour was both solid and smooth. Other than being a little thin, he was just as perfect and handsome as he’d ever been.

Quickly, Qin Zhi’ai regained her sight, breaking the silence with a formal and polite tone. “Mr. Gu, Please have some tea.”

As if he hadn’t heard her words, Gu Yusheng’s expression remained cold. He maintained his original posture and didn’t move or react in any other way than the occasional puff.

It was very quiet in the lounge, and Xiaowang had not come back yet.

Qin Zhi’ai stood by, obediently accompanying Gu Yusheng.

He did not speak, nor did she.

In ten minutes, he had smoked two cigarettes. When he was about to take out his third cigarette, Qin Zhi’ai could not help but say, “Mr. Gu, the lecture is about to begin.”

She thought that such a reminder could stop him from lighting the cigarette. Who knew that he would just look up and glance at her coldly, then retract his sight as if she did not exist. Then, with a lazy gesture, he pushed the button of the lighter, held the cigarette between his lips, and lit it. Soon, the end of the cigarette was lit, and the smoke slowly drifted from his nose.

Qin Zhi’ai slightly bit her lower lip, moving her lips without saying anything.

Silence prevailed in the room again.

Although he had nothing to do with her, she was still worried by his frequent smoking, so she couldn’t help but take several glances at the cigarette that he was holding.

Gu Yusheng, sitting on the sofa, also noticed that she had been watching him. When she looked at the cigarette again, he inadvertently met her eyes with his sight.

Gu Yusheng frowned slightly, and the cigarette he had just passed to his mouth fell suddenly from his fingers, onto his slacks.

Almost immediately, he threw the cigarette away.

He glanced down at his pants to make sure they had not been burned by the cigarette, then he looked up again at Qin Zhi’ai who had been standing nearby.

She stood by his side, her eyes looking down with long, curly eyelashes.

She was wearing light makeup, with her skin appearing fair and elegant. Her face was perfectly clear, just like the white clouds floating by in the sky after rain.

She had her long, black hair in a bun, revealing her slender and beautiful neck.

She was slim with a slender figure, wearing shoes with one-inch high heels, giving others a dainty and cute impression.

Her whole temperament was clean and pure, thus it was totally different from the girl who had been wearing delicate makeup in his memory.

However, in this moment when they had looked at each other, he felt a familiar feeling that had been long-lost...

With a little strength, the cigarette between his fingers was slightly twisted, but his gaze never moved from Qin Zhi’ai.
