"Gu Luosheng, long time no see." The man greeted her with delighted surprise when he spotted her.
Gu Luosheng tugged at the corners of her lips.
Ha. I was going to... walk right past and pretend I didn't know him. Who knew... he'd still remember me?
"Hi. Um, sorry, my brain doesn't work too well, so I can't remember your name right now." Gu Luosheng chose to play dumb.
He looked easy enough to fool, anyway.
"I'm Xue Han. We were classmates in middle school, and we even shared a desk. You were pretty short back then, and... everyone said you were kind of frumpy. I never thought... you'd become so beautiful, or a big star, either," the man said excitedly.
Gu Luosheng: ...
Clearly, even after all these years, he still hadn't learned how to talk to people.
"So, do you want an autographed photo? Sorry, I left in a hurry and didn't bring any with me. If you really want one, I can mail you one another day." Gu Luosheng kept her gaze lowered and spoke with complete seriousness.
Beside her, Xia Zhiyun: ???
Have you considered... that he might like you?
Xue Han was momentarily speechless, too.
"You don't want an autographed photo? Oh! I get it. You like me!" Gu Luosheng wore an expression that said she'd figured it all out.
Xia Zhiyun coughed. "Sweetheart, that was a little too blunt."
Gu Luosheng thought about it, then nodded solemnly. "Okay, I'll watch out next time!"
Xue Han pressed his lips together. Since things had already reached this point...
"You're right. I really have liked you all this time. Gu Luosheng, will you give me a chance to love you?"
Silence. Another terrifying silence.
Xia Zhiyun picked up the cup beside her, trying to hide behind it.
