She lit a cigarette, but instead of returning the lighter to Liang Shi, she offered him a cigarette instead. Liang Shi waved his hand, saying, "I don't smoke."
The other person didn't insist. After taking a puff and exhaling a smoke ring, they waved their hand, then put out the cigarette with some dissatisfaction, saying, "This smoke is really strong."
Liang Shi couldn't help but say, "Then why are you still smoking?"
"This wasn't a pinch," the woman said. "You..."
She paused, then pointed at Liang Shi, "Wait, your face..."
"What's wrong?" Liang Shi asked.
The woman frowned. "Your eyes are quite beautiful."
It was clearly meant to be a compliment, but it came out in a flat and insincere way, making it impossible to tell that it was a compliment.
Liang Shi replied perfunctorily, "Thank you."
The woman stopped her graceful and casual stance and handed the lighter back to Liang Shi, saying, "You're welcome."
Then she looked at Liang Shi and asked, "What's your name?"
"Liang Shi." Liang Shi replied, "You know me?"
"I don't know her." The woman's voice was cold and flippant. "But I met her today."
She paused for a moment, then said, "My name is Gu Yixue."
After saying that, he opened the door and chuckled softly as he left, "By the way, listening to people on the phone isn't a good habit."
Liang Shi: "..."
"Next time we meet, I'll give you an even more expensive lighter," Gu Yixue said.
Chapter 86
Gu Yixue.
Liang Shi read the three words aloud and thought they sounded quite nice.
She is as charming as her name suggests.
but……
"Wait a minute." Liang Shi called out to her, took a tissue out of his pocket and handed it to her, pointing to her shoulder, "Wipe it."
"Where?" Gu Yixue was taken aback.
Liang Shi then pointed to her shoulder, where there were two black marks, which looked like something had been left there.
It's too far away to see clearly.
Gu Yixue untied her black camisole, instantly transforming the camisole dress into an off-the-shoulder evening gown. Liang Shi looked away, refusing to look.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Yixue chuckled, "This is a tattoo."
Liang Shi: "..."
From her angle, Gu Yixue was backlit, revealing a face full of charm. She smiled faintly, her fox-like eyes tilting upwards, a beauty that would amaze even someone who didn't like her.
She wore a silver necklace with blue diamonds around her neck, which looked like it contained the entire starry sky.
Liang Shi then saw clearly the marks on her shoulder; they were three crooked black marks.
One part was blocked by her black suspender strap.
However, very few people get black tattoos.
This time, it was Liang Shi who was blind.
Liang Shi took back the tissue and apologized softly, "Sorry, I misread it."
"It's nothing." Gu Yixue's accent had a slight Beijing lilt, and she spoke with a natural suffix, which sounded quite pleasant to Liang Shi, who had once worked in Beijing.
After Gu Yixue unstraps the strap on her left shoulder, she points to the three marks and asks Liang Shi, "Does it look good?"
Liang Shi: "..."
After a moment of silence, Liang Shi gave a universal answer: "It's alright."
Gu Yixue smiled, put the suspenders back in their previous position, and casually brushed her loose hair aside to cover part of the mark.
“This is the wind,” Gu Yixue said with a smile, “the unpredictable wind.”
Liang Shi asked in confusion, "Then why is it black?"
Gu Yixue frowned slightly, then smiled, her smile alluring, "Because I like black."
After saying that, he waved to her, "Liang Shi, right? I'll remember you. If we happen to meet again, I'll treat you to something. Now I really have to go."
Liang Shi smiled and said, "Okay."
They neither rejected her statement nor made fun of her.
Because the two knew they would never see each other again.
Haizhou City is so big, this is Liang Shi's first time here.
This should be the last time.
Where can we meet?
This person is quite interesting, though.
Liang Shi rubbed the lighter in his hand, then took out his phone and subconsciously searched for the name Gu Yixue, but found no information.
What a pity.
At first, Liang Shi thought she was some kind of celebrity.
With such beauty and grace, it's a pity she doesn't play femme fatales.
//
When Liang Shi returned to the private room, he remained invisible.
Tonight's main characters are Xu Qingzhu and Su Yao.
Xu Qingzhu was a man of few words, exchanging more glances than words with Su Yao, creating a harmonious atmosphere in the private room.
Su Meiqi would occasionally come over and say a few words to her, but it was just casual conversation.
Sheng Yu then leaned closer and asked her, "So what should I call you from now on?"
"Call me sister too." Liang Shi picked her up and fed her a sweet corn kernel. "You'll have three older sisters now, aren't you happy?"
Sheng Yu frowned, thinking seriously, "But you're Zhou Caihong's mother's colleague, should I call you 'Auntie'?"
Liang Shi: "..."
“But I am your sister’s wife,” Liang Shi said. “So I am of your sister’s generation.”
"What did Rainbow call you that week?" Sheng Yu started to compare.
Liang Shi replied, "She calls me Sister Liang."
“But Liang Wenxuan from Class 3 calls you 'auntie',” Sheng Yu said. “We’re clearly the same age, Zhou Caihong, you idiot!”
Liang Shidu was stunned for a second. Who was Liang Wenxuan?
Then I realized it was the name of the bell.
Outside, other children call him by his full name, but Liang Shi never knew Lingdang's full name.
Liang Shi was amused by Sheng Yu's childlike words, but still answered her seriously, "You are the same age, but different in generation. In the Liang family, I am Liang Wenxuan's aunt, but to you, I am your older sister. Rainbow is not wrong, she is just smarter."
"No." Sheng Yu grinned at her, "Zhou Caihong is an idiot!"
"Why? Do you two have a grudge?" Liang Shi asked.
Sheng Yu nodded, then shook her head, and then said angrily, "She didn't do her craft homework last week, so she trampled on mine."
"Huh?" Liang Shi was shocked. "Really or not?"
Sheng Yu nodded, seemingly dissatisfied with her skepticism, "Of course it's true, I never lie!"
Liang Shi felt there must be some misunderstanding, so he patted Sheng Yu's head and coaxed her gently, "Did she deliberately trample on your handicrafts?"
Sheng Yu shook her head: "No, she apologized to me."
Liang Shi finally felt relieved. "So, have you forgiven her?"
“I told her I would forgive her if she made me an exact replica,” Sheng Yu said proudly. “That was made by my mother herself; she could never do it.”
Liang Shi: "..."
"And then?" Liang Shi asked.
Sheng Yu snorted, "Of course she couldn't do it, that's why I said she's an idiot!"
Liang Shi sighed helplessly, "Mom is good at this kind of thing, so I made you a beautiful craft project. But Rainbow hasn't learned it, so it's normal that she can't do it. Besides, Rainbow is only five years old, just like you. Isn't it a little difficult for her to make this request?"
“Of course,” Liang Shi immediately added, “I didn’t say there was anything wrong with your request. After all, she ruined your craft project, so it’s perfectly reasonable for you to ask her to compensate you with the same one. But you can’t laugh at her just because she can’t make it, right?”
Sheng Yu tilted her head, staring at her expectantly: "Which side are you on?"
Liang Shi: "...I stand on the side of reason."
"Then I won't let my sister be with you." Sheng Yu snorted. "Hmph! You're just biased towards Zhou Caihong."
She was about to jump off her arms when Liang Shi pulled her close, flicked her forehead lightly with his finger, and said, "I'm clearly biased towards you."
Sheng Yu: "?"
She scoffed, "You're talking nonsense!"
Liang Shi hugged her and rocked her, "Rainbow is the top student in your school. She could recite five hundred ancient poems when she was three years old, and she has already started doing junior high school physics problems. The only thing she can't do is crafts. She lost to her mother in that area, so you just call her stupid."
Sheng Yu frowned: "Then she just can't do it."
“You can’t make it either,” Liang Shi said. “If you could, would you need your mother to do your craft homework for you?”
Sheng Yu: "..."
"If even Rainbow is a fool, what are you going to be?" Liang Shi teased her, "A clever little devil?"
