Chapter 90: Inquiry (2/2)

Zhang Siyi got up and walked toward the bar to order the two requested drinks. He pulled out his wallet before he reacted. His sister was present, so why didn’t he ask her? Zhang Siyi went to get the drinks without question like a hypnotized person!

Although he doesn’t know why he reacted without thought, he felt extremely happy. This type of intimate request and response can only be freely asked by someone with a special relationship. (&////&)

With a happy face, Zhang Siyi leaned on the bar waiting for Gu Yu’s coffee. When the coffee was ready, he took it back carefully and put it in front of Gu Yu.

Gu Yu seemed anxious to hold the cup: “Thank You.” As he reached out to take it, Zhang Siyi didn’t have the opportunity to retract his hand. As their skin touched, a cold, hot feeling burst through Zhang Siyi like electricity. His fingers unconsciously flinched…. How…. what happened.… with one single touch, Zhang Siyi felt like he was going to burn up.

Oh my God! This is a terrible predicament. He wanted to escape from Gu Yu presence……. (o////o)

During the time it took Zhang Siyi to buy coffee, Gu Yu and He Chengtian made introductions and explained their history. Neither of them expected to have a sister and neither of the sisters would have guessed their brother were high school classmates. The world really is small!

When the only person that connected everyone together came back, he was very nervous, but seeing everyone getting along, he felt somewhat relieved. During their discussion, He Xueying learned that Gu Yu is Zhang Siyi’s boss.

Gu Yu’s ability to direct the flow of conversation is excellent. The stable and harmonious atmosphere is opposite of Zhang Siyi’s imagination. The only tension he could detect was the unconscious shaking movement that He Chengtian’s heel was doing that highlighted his anxiety and depression as he was looking back and forth between Gu Yu and Gu Yao. He Chengtian rubbed his forehead. Why must her brother be Gu Yu!

Since the movie is starting soon, the issue of tickets and seating came up again. Far apart from one another, there was a set of three tickets in the front and two tickets in the left rear. Who’s sitting with whom?

As the day initially was He Xueying’s invitation with Zhang Siyi, normally it would seem he and his childhood friends would sit together and a brother and sister pair should sit together. However, Gu Yao created this opportunity for her brother and He Chentian was watching Gu Yao with obvious intentions. Coincidentally, the two of them came up with the same idea…. Draw Tickets!

Gu Yu casually said: “I’ll hold them.” He held the five tickets out, and in a circle, everyone picked. Gu Yu took the last ticket. At the end of the draw, everyone showed their tickets at the same time. He Xueying and Gu Yao took the rear seat pairing and Zhang Siyi and He Chengtian draw seats in the front.

He Chengtian: “…” (=皿=)

He Xueying: “…” (=_=)

Zhang Siyi: “…” (=///=)

Gu Yao: “…” (=w=)

Knowing his ticket was one of the groups located in front, Gu Yu glanced at the middle position of the three and calmly said: “Let’s go in.”

When they were entering the theater, He Chengtian followed his sister inside and reached for her arm then whispered to her: “Here, change your ticket with mine.”

He Xueying turned a blind eye: ” Are you still afraid that your purpose is not obvious enough? Such resolute actions will scare the little girl away. Be patient!”

This person was certainly not his own sister! He Chengtian grumbled about her unwillingness to help him.

Inside the theater the girls sat down in the back row while the three men walked forward to find their seats. Almost everyone in the theater were either couples or chaperones accompanying little girls. The three men together walking through the theater and sitting down in a row attracted a bunch of curious eyes.

He Chengtian: “……” Why did I go out today? How did he get into this mess? Why is he sitting with two other guys watching “Cinderella”? And one of them was his most hated nemesis in high school? (O..o)

Zhang Siyi: “……” What happened to dating two girls? Why has it become a date with two men? (o..o)

After Gu Yu sat down, he took off his coat and put it on his hand. Before the movie started, there was a ten-minute preview with many commercials. The three men stared at the screen with no expressions, until the last half-minute of the previews. Gu Yu tactically said: “He Chengtian, I heard from Siyi that you wanted him to become your assistant.”

He Chengtian: “…”

After 10 seconds, Gu Yu looked at Zhang Siyi and smiled: “You won’t go, right?”

Zhang Siyi: “…” The advertisement ended and the lights in the house were dimmed to black. The permit for the release license appeared in the middle of the screen followed by the opening of Disney’s title. Looking intently at the screen in anticipation for the start of the film, the audience calmed down. Even if He Chengtian and Zhang Siyi wanted to say something, they couldn’t.
