390 The Secret About the Past 8 (2/2)
—
Since Gu Beicheng agreed to meet her again the day after, Lin Mingxi decided to heed her mother's advice and headed to the beauty salon for a facial before getting a new haircut at the hair salon. She swapped her curly, blonde locks for a jet-black blowout.
She exuded a whole different vibe.
On the second day of April, she skipped her gym session and instead took a shower. She then put on some makeup and waited patiently until past five in the evening.
Lin Mingxi decided not to drive and instead boarded a taxi to the restaurant they agreed to meet at.
Gu Beicheng had yet to arrive by the time she reached the restaurant.
She took a look at the time and realized that there was still half an hour to go before it was the time they agreed to meet.
She was there early.
Lin Mingxi took a seat and was overwhelmed with an unprecedented feeling. It had never occurred to her that waiting for someone would fill her with a sense of mystery and uncertainty.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
He showed up five minutes before the agreed meeting time.
Gu Beicheng was dressed in a casual attire composed of a grayish-white wool sweater coupled with a pair of rolled-hem jeans and a pair of shades.
Lin Mingxi was smitten at the instant that he removed his shades. Looks indeed came first for her, and that was the very reason why she used to fancy Jin Qingyan so much.
She simply could not resist the charm of men who were dashing and yet capable.
Gu Beicheng was slightly surprised to see that she had gotten a new haircut. She looked very different with thinly-trimmed bangs, exuding a different aura from the last time they met.
”Have you been waiting for very long?”
”No, only twenty minutes.”
”Why were you here so early?” Gu Beicheng asked in puzzlement.
”Because… I was afraid that there would be a traffic jam and I didn't want to be late.”
As usual, Gu Beicheng handed her the menu and said, ”You order the dishes.”
Lin Mingxi took a look at the menu and ordered a few dishes before handing it back to him. ”Your turn,” she said.
Gu Beicheng ordered two more dishes, after which he asked, ”Would you like some alcohol?”
”A little will do,” said Lin Mingxi, thinking that alcohol was sometimes a savior as it would give her courage.
”Alright.”
After ordering the dishes, they continued to remain silent while facing each other. Lin Mingxi then initiated the conversation. ”Could you tell me what your ideal type of girl is?”
Gu Beicheng pondered for a moment before answering, ”I don't exactly have a type, neither have I ever thought about it. I guess I just need to have feelings for her.”
”I have feelings for you now,” Lin Mingxi blurted, holding her hands together nervously as she looked up to gaze at him.
”…”
”Gu Beicheng, I want to woo you.”
”…”
”I don't have much experience in relationships. I tried to woo someone once, to no avail. Although it's a matter of the past, I feel like that very same urge has returned again,” Lin Mingxi continued.
