With what had happened, the only thing left was the matter of moving out. Gu Xiqiao rubbed Haha’s head as she thought about where to move to. Haha was clearly enjoying the attention she was giving him, a bright pair of big eyes looking up at her from her embrace. “About moving out, if you agree with me, bark once. Come on, bark once.”

 Haha: “Woof woof~”

 Gu Xiqiao picked him up so that Haha’s eyes were on the same level as hers as she stared intently into his eyes. “I said, bark once.”

 Haha: “…Woof.”

 “Looks like you also agree about moving out, but where should we move to?” Gu Xiqiao returned Haha back to her arms, and continued to ponder.

 1Her phone rang and Gu Xiqiao picked it up, finding an unknown local number flashing on the screen. There weren’t many people who knew her number, and those who could call her were only people that she was close to.

 She had guessed it to be a lot of other people, but she didn’t expect the one to have called her was Luo Wenlang. He was inviting her to his house, today was Luo Wenlin’s birthday.

 “If you’ll give me the address, I’ll go over there myself,” Gu Xiqiao said, hanging up the call soon after, and Luo Wenlang sent over the address with a message that since the place was difficult to find, to give him a call if she couldn’t find it.

 Gu Xiqiao looked at the address, and found that his house was actually in the small alley beside First High.

 Because it was Luo Wenlin’s birthday, Gu Xiqiao first went to the mall to buy a gift. She settled on a Transformer toy that the salesperson had assured her that boys generally liked.

 The alleyways in First High were numerous and chaotic. When she got off the bus, she saw Luo Wenlin waiting for her at the mouth of the alley. He was wearing a face mask, and only the pair of dark eyes was visible on his face. When he caught sight of Gu Xiqiao, his eyes brightened.

 “Sister Gu!” He waved at Gu Xiqiao.

 Gu Xiqiao walked to stand in front of him, rubbing the top of his head gently, handing the gift in her hands to him. “Happy birthday, Dalin.”

 Luo Wenlin didn’t rush to open his gift, but pointed to the boy standing next to him. “Sister Gu, this is Yao Jiamu, my brother’s friend. Brother Yao, hurry up and greet people.”

 The tall, thin boy beside him lifted a hand to adjust the cap on his head, a bright smile appearing on his face as he looked up. “Hey, we meet again.”

 The girl in front of him was dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt, exposing the beautiful curve of her neck, a pair of crystal clear eyes, a healthy flushed face as well as a faint, warm smile on her lips. Yao Jiamu struggled to pull his gaze away, taking what felt like half a day to react.

 “You know each other?” Luo Wenlin asked in surprise.

 “Less talk, let’s go.” Yao Jiamu was clearly in a good mood, leading the two of them into the alley with a ridiculous grin spreading from ear to ear on his face.

 The corner of Gu Xiqiao’s lips twitched upwards, turning to explain to Luo Wenlin. “Yes, I was sitting behind him during the national finals. He wore slippers to the exam, so it left a deep impression on me.”

 She wasn’t saying anything about the first time they had met, Yao Jiamu noted as his smile stretched wider. Even though their first meeting had been far from friendly, the impression he had left on her was deep. Seeing that she didn’t bring it up, he also didn’t mention it.
