When I heard the question, I was first stunned, then asked with some confusion, "Gu?"
"Yes, Gu Tingshen." Her eyes sparkled even brighter when she mentioned his name.
That look was impossible to ignore. It was the unmistakable stare of a girl in the springtime of her youth. I used to follow Gu Tingshen around when I was little, and my eyes would shine just like that whenever I talked about him.
Heng Jisheng's daughter was a bit younger than both Gu Tingshen and me, and she didn't have much of an interaction with us.
Later, Heng Tingting went abroad for her studies and had not lived in the country for years. I ran into Heng Jisheng earlier, and he told me that his granddaughter only returned last year.
I had no idea when she started having feelings for Gu Tingshen.
I took a sip of tea and smiled as I began, "Mr. Gu is over there for work, so I don't have much interaction with him. But, I have seen him a few times at some banquets."
