Su Ning bade goodbye to her friends outside Tsujiri Gion before linking her arms with Gu YuChen.
** half an hour ago **
Su Ning had been fully anticipating Gu YuChen to be on a long serious phone call. But she had found the man standing alone and staring blankly into space when she went searching for him. She immediately became concerned and tapped the man's shoulder to get his attention. And Gu YuChen turned to her with a glazed look in his eyes, causing Su Ning to be even more alarmed. 'What in the world happened?!?! This is so unlike Gu YuChen.'
"YuChen-ge are you alright?" Su Ning asked softly.
At the sound of Su Ning's anxious voice, Gu YuChen snapped out of his reverie. 'I need to get a hold of myself. I can't let her worry,' he thought to himself. "I'm alright," Gu YuChen said as calmly as he could. He felt itchy in his throat.
"Are you sure? You're not acting like yourself. It's really worrying," she said.
