424 she was her target
“Please take a seat.” jiang che said.
at the same time, he put shi yan down and let her sit beside him.
after hesitating for a few seconds, gu qingqing walked over and sat down. hu yu served tea to the three of them and left the resting room, even closing the door behind him.
“I heard that teacher Gu played a new song today?”
“I can’t be called a teacher by fifth Lord Jiang. You can just call me by my name.”
even though she had been a zither player at the jade restaurant for five years, gu qingqing and jiang che did not have much interaction. jiang che had rarely come to haicheng since he was in the capital three years ago. in the three years that he had been in haicheng to recuperate, he had also rarely left the house. the number of times he had come to the jade restaurant could be counted on one hand, not to mention meeting gu qingqing.
Most of the time, Gu Qingqing would greet Jiang che like the other employees of the Jade eatery, but Jiang che would either not respond or just nod slightly. This was the first time he had called her ” teacher Gu “.
“I did play a song that I’ve never played before. I heard it from one of the works when I was invited to be a judge for a small competition last week. Speaking of which, the main characters of that work are still the fifth Lord Jiang and miss Shi.”
shi yan was speechless.
She had thought of many ways for him to hear this song, but she had never thought of this one.
He actually heard it from the work when he was a judge!
the short film that she and jiang che had helped to shoot had indeed been sent to the competition last week.
Also, this zither player directly called her miss Shi, so she must have known her.
Even Jiang che was a little surprised, let alone Shi Yan. However, he did not show it and only raised his eyebrows slightly at Shi Yan. He seemed to be saying,”see, I told you it had nothing to do with me.”
Shi Yan,”Yingluo.”
she was a little guilty.
“it turns out that the fifth lord jiang’s zither skills are so high, far above mine. it is indeed inappropriate to play this song without permission, but i have my reasons for doing so. i hope fifth lord jiang can forgive me. ”
gu qing qing didn’t speak fast, and her voice was as soft and weak as her, but it gave people a feeling of neither being humble nor pushy.
In front of fifth Lord Jiang, not everyone could act neither servile nor overbearing.
“Reason?” Jiang che looked over.
“Yes, I have a reason for playing this song, but it’s not convenient for me to tell fifth Lord Jiang.”
he looked at shi yan, who had been silent all this while, and asked jiang che, ” “may i have a few words with miss shi in private?”
he was actually coming for her?
shi yan was slightly surprised.
When it came to Shi Yan, Jiang Che’s nonchalant attitude turned serious, and his gaze on Gu Qingqing’s face became slightly sharp.
Gu Qing Qing was not in a hurry to speak, and sat there, not panicking at all, allowing them to size her up.
“wait for me outside,” shi yan finally spoke first.
these words were directed at jiang che.
jiang che didn’t quite agree.
he didn’t have much contact with gu qingqing, but there was one thing that the others were right about. gu qingqing’s presence at the jade eatery was indeed related to him. He wasn’t sure about Gu Qingqing’s background, but he knew that she wasn’t a simple person.
He was worried that Shi Yan would be alone with Gu Qingqing.
Shi Yan could tell what he was thinking at a glance. She smiled and said, wait for me in the courtyard. It won’t take long. We’ll go back after I’m done talking to this teacher Gu.
it was in the courtyard, close by, and the lounge’s soundproofing wasn’t very good, so any movement could be heard.
Jiang che was slightly relieved when he thought of this.
He stood up and left the resting room. As he left, he glanced at Gu Qingqing. The warning in his eyes was not obvious, but it was enough for Gu Qingqing to see.
gu qingqing was not affected by his warning.
since they had agreed to give the two some space to talk alone, jiang che closed the door when he left, although he was still worried. he stood outside the door and didn’t go far. he couldn’t hear the conversation between the two, but he could hear any big movements.
“fifth lord jiang has been very good to you.” Gu Qingqing said as she looked at Shi Yan.
Shi Yan’s gaze fell on her face. It didn’t stay for long, only one or two seconds.
“thank you,” he said. she said.
Gu Qingqing smiled. miss Shi, you should have guessed it. I played that song on purpose because I saw you sitting in the courtyard. The purpose is simple, to attract your attention.”
she was very straightforward.
Shi Yan wasn’t in a hurry to answer. She picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea. Then, she smiled at Gu Qingqing and said in a calm tone,”Attract my attention? If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time I’ve met miss Gu. What’s miss Gu’s purpose in attracting my attention?”
A 19-year-old girl was able to keep her composure, as expected of Yingluo.
“miss shi, you don’t have to be so wary of me. i mean you no harm. to you, this is the first time you’ve met me, but not to me. ”
“I’ve seen you nine years ago,”
Shi Yan’s hand, which was holding the teacup, paused.
nine years ago?
Nine years ago, the place she had spent the most time in was the capital.
“Miss Gu, are you from the capital?”
gu qingqing’s appearance was outstanding, and she would not have forgotten her if she had seen her before. however, she really could not remember when and where she had seen gu qingqing.
I’m considered half from the capital city. My mother is from the capital city. I’ve lived with my mother since I was very young. I spent most of my time in the capital city. I was in the capital city’s first high school.
capital city no. 1 middle school?
she seemed to be about the same age as jiang che. although jiang che didn’t go to school often, he was still famous in school. Because of this, Xuan Siyun had even said that she and Jiang che were classmates.
could gu qingqing also be classmates with jiang che?
When she met Shi Yan’s gaze, Gu Qingqing smiled and said,”I’m different from Xuan Siyun. I’m not your enemy, nor am I your love rival.”
From her words, she seemed to know quite a lot.
” i was in the same class as xuan siyun in middle school, and fifth lord jiang was indeed in our class. but to be honest, i’ve never seen him even once in school. i don’t even know him. ”
She didn’t know Jiang che and wasn’t an enemy or a love rival, but she was here for her. Gu Qingqing’s motive must be very clear.
“you’re my brother’s classmate?”
“To be exact, I’m your third brother’s classmate. in junior high, your second and third brothers were in the same class as me, but in high school, only your third brother was in the same class as me, yingluo.”
As she said this, Gu Qing Qing seemed to have thought of something and her smile faded. It seemed to be filled with bitterness and regret. He couldn’t really explain it, but he felt that her smile was very complicated.
“however, we were in the same class for less than two years in high school. i transferred schools when the second year of high school was almost over. It’s been nine years since I last saw your third brother.”
your third brother doesn’t talk much, and he doesn’t like to deal with other people in school. But I know that he has a little sister who he dotes on very much.
“The first half of the second year of high school is holding a school celebration. Our class is the rocket class of capital city No. 1 high school. Many students don’t want to waste their study time preparing for the program, so each class has to prepare at least two programs. as a member of the cultural and entertainment committee, i’m in charge of this matter. one was a class choir, and the other was a solo performance. unfortunately, i had a bad cold the day before the school’s anniversary celebration and my voice was hoarse.”
