Luo Qianqian took the phone with shaking hands and looked around guiltily.

  “I… have work to do in France, so I came to pick up what you left behind.”


  Didn’t the cafe say that he had left two days ago?

  “Is that so?” Gu Yun Che showed a faint smile. She did not know if he believed her or not.

  After all, Luo Qianqian did not even believe herself.

  It would take more than a day to go from Hua Land to France and then to St. Malo.

  Therefore, she was definitely not here because she was working.

  “Didn’t you leave?” She asked discreetly.

  “Did the cafe tell you?” Gu Yun Che sat down on the bench.

  Luo Qianqian nodded. “Yes, they said that you left two days ago.”


  “My original plan was to leave but I was delayed by something.” Gu Yun Che confessed. But he had never expected that she would appear here. He could not believe what he was seeing. “Okay,” Luo Qianqian answered. Originally, she had only wanted to collect what he had left behind, take a look at the scenery he had seen and walk the path he had walked. That was all she wanted.

  Unexpectedly, she ran into the real person who had not left in time.

  Also, she had found such a terrible excuse.

  Gu Yun Che did not say anything more. He sat there quietly and watched the fading sunset with her.

  As the sky darkened, he asked, “Have you eaten?”


  “…No,” Luo Qianqian said.

  Although she had eaten more than an hour ago, she seemed to be hungry again.

  “I know a good restaurant, want to try it?” Gu Yun Che asked.

  Since they had met, he would not turn a blind eye to her.

  “Okay.” Luo Qianqian nodded and followed him.

  The restaurant was in the old city of St. Malo, and the local government had forbidden cars from driving in the old city in order to protect the historical site.

  Therefore, they walked all the way there.

  Although it was a long way away, she was very happy.

  Although Gu Yun Che knew that she would not have come here because of a reason other than the gift he had left behind, he did not expose her lie and asked her instead, “Are you planning to stay here for a few days?”


  “I’m not sure at the moment. I want to take a look at the scenery here and find some inspiration.” Luo Qianqian found a pompous excuse.

  Gu Yun Che thought for a while and said, “If you don’t mind, I can be your guide.”


  “Don’t you need to do what you need to do?” Luo Qianqian asked.

  She was naturally happy that he offered to be her guide… but she did not want to cause him trouble because of her hot-headedness.

  “It’s nothing pressing. Plus I like it here too, so just treat it as a tour,” Gu Yun Che said.

  Luo Qianqian was delighted.

  “Then I will depend on you, mister guide.”


  At first, she thought that she must have been crazy to come to St. Malo in such a short timeframe.

  But now, she felt that this was the best decision she had ever made in her life.

  Luckily, she was here and he hadn’t left. Luckily… they had run into each other.

  “You are welcome,” Gu Yun Che said and pointed in front of them, “The restaurant is right there.”


  Luo Qianqian looked at the signboard of the restaurant. It was not a very famous French restaurant, and the restaurant looked old.

  Gu Yun Che seemed to like historical things and places, just like his name.
