"You guys have been getting along quite well these past few days, huh?"
On a competition-free early morning, Gu Tao, with his legs crossed, sat on the terrace of a five-star hotel enjoying the cool air and reading a book when he spotted Huang Lei, spruced up and full of energy, rushing out and casually called out to him.
"Not really..."
"What do you mean, 'not really'!"
Suddenly serious, Gu Tao gave Huang Lei such a fright that he just stood there, not knowing what to say.
"Planning on a long-distance relationship?"
"I..." Huang Lei lowered his head, at a loss for words: "I haven't thought about it."
"Well, that won't do," Gu Tao shook his head. "Distance tortures beauty. Her school is in Suining, a thousand kilometers away from you, with inconvenient traffic on both ends. Do you plan to rely on internet calls every day? That would hinder your studies!"
Huang Lei, feeling somewhat downcast, nodded nonetheless, "I understand, Mr. Gu... I'll talk to her about it today."
