Not in service, on purpose, to avoid being disturbed… Those words kept reverberating in Qin Zhi'ai's ears . After quite a long time, she finally knew what he had meant .
He had known that the number was not in service, but he had still given it to her, which meant he had given her a fake number on purpose .
Qin Zhi'ai couldn't help clenching her hands into fists . She tried to look calm and continued to pretend it was just chitchat . With a curious look, she asked, "Your real number and fake number are so similar . Don't you get them mixed them up sometimes?"
"How could that be possible?" Gu Yusheng answered with a rhetorical question without any hesitation . "I've been using those two numbers since middle school . I know them very well . "
Qin Zhi'ai looked at Gu Yusheng's calm and casual look and finally had her answer .
Of course, how could Gu Yusheng mix those two numbers up? He was so smart that it would be impossible for him to mix them up .
So, eight years ago, he hadn't written her the wrong number by accident . He had done it on purpose .
So back then when he had given her the note, had he never imagined going on the date?
It wasn't that she had never thought this might be a possibility . That was why she had asked around about it . She just hadn't thought that she would actually hear the answer she was most afraid of .
Qin Zhi'ai stood still, without any reaction . It was because she was afraid, afraid of her tears falling once she talked or moved . She had to keep composure to make herself look as if nothing had happened to her .
Gu Yusheng stopped talking when he saw her go silent . He took out his cell phone to look at the time before he politely said goodbye to her . "I have to go now . "
Qin Zhi'ai tried extremely hard, but she could barely give Gu Yusheng a smile .
Gu Yusheng didn't respond with any further farewells to Qin Zhi'ai . He walked around the front of the car and got in . He stepped on the gas and left .
Qin Zhi'ai looked in a different direction for a long time until the car was long gone . She dared not even look in the direction Gu Yusheng had driven . She held her hand out and hailed a taxi then got in .
She didn't notice her voice sounded like she was about to cry until she told her address to the taxi driver .
Qin Zhi'ai walked through the parking lot to get her purse first after she arrived at the Ladies' Club . She went to the bathroom as she had last time .
After locking the bathroom door, the tears she had tried to hold back suddenly fell onto her face .
The most painful feeling was not having the person one liked not like them back . Knowing the beautiful memories were just lies was the most painful thing .
Eight years . She had remembered that number for eight years . It had just been a fake number . Whenever she thought about the night he had stood her up, she had always worried about him, since his number had not been in service . She had wondered if anything had happened to him that day .
At this moment, she had learned that the eight years she couldn't forget about were just a joke .
Her waiting, in the end, was a waste .
Qin Zhi'ai didn't know how long it took her to calm down from crying . She showered, put on makeup, and changed her clothes . Looking at herself as Liang Doukou in the mirror, she daydreamed for a long time before she gathered everything and went back to the car with her purse .
…
When Qin Zhi'ai drove into the driveway, Gu Yusheng had just turned off his car in front of the door .
