"No, thank you," Gu Yusheng responded shortly . His eyes were fixed on the computer while he was busy doing something . The conversation didn't seem to affect his typing speed .
Lu Bancheng shrugged without saying anything else . He walked to the fridge and took a bottle of spring water out of the fridge, twisted the cap open, and walked back to the living room as he drank .
He stood by the sofa, watching Gu Yusheng work for a while before he put the water bottle down and went upstairs .
When Lu Bancheng came downstairs after a shower, Gu Yusheng's driver, Xiaowang, was already in the living room .
Gu Yusheng's computer was on the coffee table with the screen visible . He held a few files and flipped through them, making marks at times .
Xiaowang saw Lu Bancheng and nodded in greeting . He didn't talk, afraid of distracting Gu Yusheng from his work .
Lu Bancheng waved at Xiaowang in acknowledgment and took a seat on the sofa . He took his cell phone out and started to play with it .
The house was completely quiet for about twenty minutes . Gu Yusheng closed his files and passed them to Xiaowang . "Can you deliver these files to the company?"
"Yes, Mr . Gu," Xiaowang said . Xiaowang held the files in his arms .
Gu Yusheng pulled an old-fashioned envelope out from underneath his laptop and passed it to Xiaowang . "Can you stop by the post office on the way to the company? Buy a stamp and mail this letter . "
"Got it, Mr . Gu," Xiaowang said .
Gu Yusheng had no more instructions for Xiaowang, so he waved at Xiaowang to signal that it was time for him to leave .
Xiaowang politely said goodbye to both Gu Yusheng and Lu Bancheng before he turned around to leave the house .
Once the door was closed after Xiaowang, Lu Bancheng looked surprised and asked, "You aren't still in touch with your pen-pal, are you?"
Gu Yusheng glanced at Lu Bancheng, but didn't feel like responding to his question . Instead, he picked up the laptop and placed it on his lap . He moved his fingers on the touchpad to read his emails .
"Bro Sheng, pen-pals were just a game for high school students back then . I can't believe you still write letters to each other . It's nothing wrong for you guys to keep in contact, but you should at least keep up with technology, right? At least use WeChat or QQ? Email would work too . Or, you can give your pen-pal your phone number . You guys could text or call each other," Lu Bancheng said .
Lu Bancheng made a lot comments, but he saw Gu Yusheng had no intention of responding to him . He looked like he suddenly remembered something and asked with a cautious tone, "Bro Sheng, do you still know nothing about your pen-pal? You've been in touch with them for so many years . "
Gu Yusheng slowly stopped moving his fingers on the touchpad .
What the heck! Lu Bancheng couldn't believe he had guessed right . The look on Lu Bancheng was frozen . He had his mouth slightly open for a while before he shook his head and composed himself from the shock . "I cannot believe the existence of pen-pals nowadays . I thought contacting under anonymous names was better for sex purposes, like for instance, finding a Tinder partner . "
Gu Yusheng looked up at Lu Bancheng slightly . The look on Gu Yusheng'a face scared him . He immediately smiled and tried to back down . "I'm quite interested in who your pen-pal is, even though you're not . I cannot believe there is a person you would like to keep in touch for so long, especially in the old-fashioned way, writing letters to each other . "
Lu Bancheng's talk calmed Gu Yusheng down . Gu Yusheng didn't say anything for quite a while . He responded to Lu Bancheng calmly, saying, "I have no idea . "
