Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Flee in Desperation
"What’s his problem?" Gu Shiting frowned, utterly baffled by Qin Lin and even slightly disliking him, thinking he wasn’t as forthright as Zhou Yu.
Sheng Tang smiled and pushed him to go take a shower first.
A few of them wore bathrobes and had dinner in the hotel’s private dining room.
"It’s already pretty late. We’re staying here for the night. Are you heading back?" Gu Shiting asked.
He wasn’t too keen on going out at night.
Just as Qin Lin was about to speak, Zhou Yu interrupted, "We’re all exhausted today. We’ll stay here too. Ting, thanks for hosting us."
During dinner, they chatted a lot more.
Sheng Tang even asked Zhou Yu, "Brother Zhou, do you have a girlfriend?"
Zhou Yu replied, "No."
"I’d think you’d be popular with the ladies."
Qin Lin immediately cut in, "Popular? He’s so tall, like a doorpost. Who would have such a heavy taste to date a doorpost?"
Gu Shiting listened and thought that he wasn’t much shorter than Zhou Yu, yet many girls liked him. Qin Lin’s comment didn’t hold water.
He only thought about it and didn’t argue.
Zhou Yu then slowly said, "There are girls who like me. Tall guys don’t have trouble finding dates. Besides, I’m only 190 cm, not two meters."
After a pause, Zhou Yu continued, "I don’t have a girlfriend because of differing interests."
Sheng Tang: "..."
Qin Lin: "..."
The pure and innocent Young Master Gu didn’t understand what Zhou Yu meant.
Qin Lin suddenly felt uneasy.
He was really scared Zhou Yu might say something else and wanted to flee. However, Zhou Yu didn’t continue, and everyone stopped talking about relationships.
Gu Shiting’s reaction was extremely slow. It wasn’t until he and Sheng Tang were back in their room and lying down, with Sheng almost asleep, that he suddenly woke her.
"Tangtang, when Brother Zhou said that today, did he mean he likes Qin Lin?"
Sheng Tang: "..."
Young Master, it was so obvious. Why are you only surprised after several hours?
Sheng Tang: "Yes."
"But he should find someone better. Qin Lin is so talkative, a bit annoying," Gu Shiting said.
Sheng Tang laughed.
When Gu Shiyan was dating Song Chen, Gu Shiting also felt they were incompatible.
He seemed to have a knack for breaking up couples.
Sheng Tang patted his hair: "Go to sleep!"
Gu Shiting had no choice but to lie down, filled with questions. But by the next day, he had forgotten all about it.
In his mind, when it came to human relations, only Sheng Tang occupied his thoughts; everything else was fleeting.
The next day, Gu Shiting and Sheng Tang got up early to have breakfast downstairs, only to encounter Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu said that Qin Lin waited for his clothes to dry last night, then went home instead of staying here. Moreover, when Zhou Yu called him to check if he got home safely, he found out Qin Lin had blocked him.
Later on, Gu Shiting invited Zhou Yu to play basketball several times, but they never saw Qin Lin again.
Gu Shiting wasn’t too keen on understanding human relations, but in this matter, he seemed to have had an epiphany, noticing the hint of pain in Zhou Yu’s eyes and refraining from questioning further.
Not long after, Sheng Tang told Gu Shiting, "Qin Lin went abroad."
Qin Lin dropped out of university after less than two months and went abroad. It was said he spent money to join a high school there, waiting to apply for university next year.
Qin Lin was able to study at Huishi High School, so his family must be rich and well-connected.
Zhou Yu and Gu Shiting, on the other hand, forged a strong friendship through basketball.
Sheng Tang even joked, telling Zhou Yu not to steal her man.
Gu Shiting was the only one who knew Zhou Yu’s secret but didn’t look at him differently, making Zhou Yu feel comfortable and changing his view on wealthy heirs.
Zhou Yu was Gu Shiting’s first same-age good friend.
But that’s a story for another time.
