Blurb:
Qiao Zhuxi ran into Jiang Gu on the first day she returned to China after graduating.
It was a high school reunion. She thought he wouldn't come.
Everyone else thought so too.
After a few rounds of drinks, someone teased him and asked what had brought him there this time.
"I'm here to wait for someone," Jiang Gu said with a smile, explaining without hesitation. "My girlfriend."
Everyone let out a chorus of surprise, but no one asked any more questions.
They assumed his girlfriend was somewhere nearby and he had just happened to come by to wait for her.
After all, they'd known since their school days that Jiang Gu had a girlfriend, but he kept her so well hidden that they couldn't dig up a single detail.
The only reason they knew was that he couldn't resist bragging about her himself. After showing off, he wouldn't say who she was. All they'd heard was that they'd been together for years and still hadn't broken up.
The noisy chatter in the private room couldn't disturb the quiet in the corner.
The person sitting there suddenly felt like they couldn't breathe.
He had a girlfriend now.
Qiao Zhuxi lowered her head and gave a faint laugh.
The person who had always been so proud had to admit that she was mocking herself now.
Mocking herself for coming back at all.
The next moment, reason prevailed.
That was right.
Everything was simply what she deserved.
Qiao Zhuxi hid the emotions in her eyes and got up to leave the room.
She had barely taken a few steps.
Someone grabbed her wrist. "Where are you going?"
Jiang Gu let go, but kept her firmly in his gaze. With a casual smile, he blurted out, "My girlfriend."
