“What went wrong?” Zhou Jing asked anxiously on the phone .
Liang Doukou only sobbed and repeated, “Everything went wrong . Everything . ” She had no other words to describe what had just happened .
“Xiaokou, calm down!” Zhou Jiang commanded even though she was worried .
Liang Doukou fell silent . After a moment, she asked, “Can you come pick me up at Gu Yusheng's house?”
Gu Yusheng's house .
Zhou Jing's heart dropped . A bad feeling crept over her as the silence intensified with the phone at her ear . She finally asked, “Did you see Gu Yusheng?”
“Yes,” Liang Doukou responded through her sniffling .
“Did he find out you had a body double?” Zhou Jing asked .
“Yes . ” Liang Doukou began crying again . Before Zhou Jing could get her attention, Liang Doukou said, “Can you stop asking questions and just come pick me up now?”
“Okay, I'm coming . Try to stay as calm as possible . ” Zhou Jing comforted Liang Doukou a bit more before they hung up .
Liang Doukou sat on the cold pavement for some time before getting on her feet . She walked to the yard and started picking up her clothes and other belongings that Gu Yusheng had thrown everywhere .
Whether torn or broken, she walked and stooped to collect her things and piled them in the trunk of her car . She only stopped when the trunk was so full it almost wouldn't close .
Zhou Jing had not arrived yet, and Liang Doukou stood alone in the yard for some time . She eventually walked to the car and pulled the door open . As she was about to get in, the house door suddenly flew open .
She immediately turned around to see Gu Yusheng walking out of the house .
Liang Doukou stopped herself from getting in the car, captivated by Gu Yusheng as he approached . Her heart was racing .
Was it what I said about his grandfather? Maybe he's afraid I'll go talk to him . He certainly cares about him . Maybe he'll ask me to not leave…
Liang Doukou calmed herself down with these thoughts, and a glimmer of hope seemed possible, but as Gu Yusheng walked near her he continued right past her .
Am I wrong? Is it something else?
In shock, Liang Doukou turned around and saw Gu Yusheng stop at her trunk .
What is he doing?
Gu Yusheng opened the trunk and took out a Chanel gift box .
Liang Doukou opened her eyes wide . She had guessed right—Gu Yusheng wanted her to stay .
Gu Yusheng then took out a second, a third, and a fourth gift box .
With tears on her face, her mouth curled up and as if she was being wronged said, “Yusheng . ”
Gu Yusheng made no indication that he had heard her .
He continued his search through the trunk and took out another gift box . Satisfied, he closed the trunk, gathered all the boxes, and walked back to the house . As he walked past her, Liang Doukou called out his name again . “Yusheng . ”
Gu Yusheng slowed down while fixing his eyes on the purse she was carrying .
It was the gift he had given to little troublemaker . That was the purse that was missing from its gift box in the closet .
