After Song Ling hung up on Wang Lan, he received a call from Song An.
Song An asked eagerly, "How did it go, did you give Gu Dai a birthday gift last night?"
Song Ling, recalling Gu Dai's indifferent attitude towards him and the other man last night, suppressed a surge of anger before replying, "Yes, I did."
Song An excitedly said, "That's good, that's good! Was Gu Dai happy to see your gift?"
Song Ling answered unhappily, "No, she wasn't."
After a long silence, Song An suggested, "Perhaps Gu Dai was moved deep down but didn't show it. You should take this opportunity to communicate more with her, ask her out for meals and shopping."
He added emphatically, "You must be kind to her. If I hear you're still acting like before, giving Gu Dai a hard time, I won't forgive you!"
Song Ling did want to get along with Gu Dai, but her cold attitude towards him made it difficult.
