"Your name is Gu Nianzhi? We have the same last name." Gu Yanran was very friendly and nodded at Gu Nianzhi. "If you don't mind, may I ask what characters are in your name?"
Gu Nianzhi answered her obediently. "'Nian' meaning thoughts, and 'Zhi' as in literary jargon."
Gu Yanran was delighted by the wordplay. "Nianzhi? Always in my thoughts? What a nice name!"
"Miss Gu is too kind." Gu Nianzhi smiled, unsure of how else to answer.
Xue Jingjiang chuckled. "Yanran, how can you talk about her name like that?Our Nianzhi doesn't even know how to answer you!"
Gu Yanran smiled, "I think her name is quite special."
Gu Nianzhi answered boldly, "Well, it's just words and my name happens to be these two."
Huo Shaoheng coughed from the side and said to Xue Jingjiang, "Xuezi, you shouldn't be rude when you're treating Miss Gu to dinner." In other words, he wanted Xue Jingjiang to take Gu Yanran away instead of chatting and wasting time.
