Back Then, I Adored You Chapter 689 - You Are in Love with Me, Aren’t You? (11)

I carried all the bags back and sweat like a pig. Why is Gu Yusheng the one being praised for that?

Xiaow.a.n.g felt cheated. He felt as though he couldn’t do his job anymore.

…

When her mother went to the kitchen to cook, Qin Zhi’ai followed her. Gu Yusheng, Xiaow.a.n.g, and Qin Jiayan stayed in the living room.

The TV was on, showing a popular costume drama, but no one was intently watching it.

Gu Yusheng had thought Qin Jiayan looked familiar when they were in the dean’s office, but they weren’t there long enough for him to place where they might have met or seen each other before.

Sitting in the living room together, Gu Yusheng now had a chance to take a better look at Qin Jiayan. The longer he looked at him, the more definite he felt he had seen him somewhere.

Gu Yusheng looked at Qin Jiayan so many times that Qin Jiayan noticed it, frowned, and became suspicious.

Why does that guy keep looking at me? He’s weird.

Now anxious, Qin Jiayan excused himself to the balcony and pretended to take a cla.s.smate’s phone call.

The gla.s.s between the balcony and the living room was frosted, and the light on the balcony was dim, thus casting Qin Jiayan’s shadow on the window. Gu Yusheng felt he was even more familiar with Qin Jiayan now that he could see his silhouette.

He stared at it for a long time with his head tilted. When Qin Jiayan turned around to face the frosted gla.s.s, Gu Yusheng recalled the night he had recovered his lost memories and gone to Qin Zhi’ai’s apartment building.

Is that the man I saw through her window? Could that have been Qin Jiayan?

Did Qin Zhi’ai’s brother stay at her place that night?

He had snuck into her apartment and saw a man’s pair of socks on her loveseat. They could have been Qin Jiayan’s socks.

Gu Yusheng stood up and pretended that he needed to use the bathroom. He walked past Qin Jiayan’s bedroom on the way and peaked inside the open door. There was a pair of socks Qin Jiayan had taken off and left on the bed. They were the same style as those Gu Yusheng saw at Qin Zhi’ai’s apartment.

His deduction was correct.

Suddenly, Gu Yusheng became happy, and he walked back with confidence to the sofa with hands in his pockets. He didn’t care that Xiaow.a.n.g gave him a look that said, “Why are you in such a good mood?”

Gu Yusheng elegantly took a seat on the sofa and looked at the balcony again. After a few seconds, he raised his hand up and rubbed the corner of his mouth.

That was not it. He had seen Qin Jiayan somewhere else.

Frowning, Gu Yusheng thought for the next 10 minutes, when suddenly he remembered a young man who gave little troublemaker a necklace when she had been Liang Doukou’s body double. That man was Qin Jiayan.

Finally, Gu Yusheng solved the mystery, and a smile immediately spread across his face. He was still smiling when Qin Jiayan walked back inside from the balcony with his phone.

Qin Jiayan was still uncomfortable with how Gu Yusheng was looking at him, and now his smile was even more unnerving. A cold s.h.i.+ver ran down his spine as he sat down as far away as possible from Gu Yusheng. While waiting for dinner, Qin Jiayan started to play a game on his phone.

Qin Jiayan turned down his phone volume to the lowest setting, but Gu Yusheng could still clearly hear the name of the game when Qin Jiayan logged in.
