In the evening, Wen Shouyi swung by in her car to pick them up for dinner.
Yin Shixiong did not go; he wanted to keep all interaction with Gu Nianzhi's teachers and students to a minimum. He came up with an excuse about meeting up with his friends, and told Gu Nianzhi to go to dinner with Brother Huang.
When they were seated inside the car, Wen Shouyi noticed that Yin Shixiong wasn't with them. She asked, "Nianzhi, where's your guardian? He's welcome to join us."
"That's okay, he has stuff to do, too. He has so many friends here, he's been flooded with dinner invites since arriving in America. He's so much more popular than I am." Gu Nianzhi laughed lightly as she placed the gift box she had brought with her next to her feet.
Brother Huang saw the gift box, and smacked his forehead. "Oh duh! I forgot my present. Can you wait here? I'll run up and get it."
