UNEDITED
In the evening, she went back to her room. Su Rui held her mobile phone, thought of a topic, and sent a WeChat message to Gu Yu Cheng.
[Su Xiao Rui]: I have passed all eight subjects! Thank you for your help!
Soon, Gu Yu Cheng replied to the message.
[Gu Yu Cheng]: Congratulations.
Look, this is the kind of person who makes a conversation dead.
Looking at the message sent by Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui slightly frowned and disdained him in her heart.
But at this time, Gu Yu Cheng called.
“Hello~”
When Su Rui didn’t hear any response on the other end of the phone, Su Rui called out again, “Gu Yu Cheng?”
“It’s me.” From the phone, a low and deep masculine voice was heard.
“Are you free tomorrow?” Gu Yu Cheng questioned.
Hearing this, Su Rui eyes gleamed, a hint of apologetic flashed through in the bottom of her eyes.
In fact, she’s an incompetent blind date.
As Su Rui was busy with examinations this whole week, even the affairs of dating were temporarily left aside.
Though both of them talked on the phone every day, the basic content of the dialogue was one person asking and one person answering.
Even the only time Gu Yu Cheng ‘happened to have’ passed by University B, Su Rui merely went on a walk with him near the university history museum.
Su Rui has made plans that if Gu Yu Cheng had time on the weekend, they would go out on a date or something.
However
“There will be the Chen’s family banquet tomorrow evening.”
Su Rui replied apologetically.
Su Rui was just about to suggest meeting on Sunday instead.
However, she heard Gu Yu Cheng say, “Are you free during the day?”
The day?
During the day, she obviously had to try on clothes, put on make-up and style her hair!
This kind of cumbersome matter that a woman had to do, as a man, he probably won’t understand.
But, she should be able to squeeze in some time.
“By three in the afternoon.” Su Rui estimated the time and responded.
“Ok, I’ll pick you up at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning.” Gu Yu Cheng said, sounding happy.
“Alright.”
Indeed, It’s early. But it should be alright if she got up at 7 am.
“But” Su Rui continued after a pause, “Gu Yu Cheng.”
“Yes?”
“You haven’t told me where we are going tomorrow.” Su Rui blinked and said.
This is going to affect how she is going to dress tomorrow directly.
After Su Rui had said this, Gu Yu Cheng was stupefied for a few seconds.
“Where do you want to go?” After a while, Gu Yu Cheng asked.
Su Rui: ….
Don’t tell me that like this big brother[1] didn’t even think about where to go at all?
Su Rui didn’t think about it either!
Where should two people who are heading in the stage of dating go on a date?
Su Rui tried to recall the places that she can think of to go on a date.
The cinema?
It seems a little boring to go to the cinema in the early morning.
The amusement park?
Oh, so childish.
It would be alright if she were in her teens or her early twenties. She’s an adult with a mental age of 25.
So is Gu Yu Cheng.
Take a walk in Cheng Nan park?
It seems too old.
Go shopping?
Well, this kind of thing is limited to best friends[2] and the gentleman who has obtained the marriage certificate.
……
Finally, after Su Rui had rejected a bunch of ideas, she gave up.
“Let me think. I’ll send you a message later.”
“Ok.” Gu Yu Cheng said.
“I’ll wait for you.”
