Proofread by Peter Gong
As soon as their words are finished, they both fall into silence. Yu Fei is too embarrassed to know what to say. Gu Yi is also aware that his words of expressing his love are too frank, then he stops speaking in a hurry, daring not to say anything more. When it comes to their relationship, Gu Yi advances whereas Yu Fei flinches. If he advances three steps, she will retreats five steps. Although she promised him another chance before, he has none at all right now.
They remain silent for several minutes. Gu Yi takes the initiative to speak tentatively, “There is a new restaurant specializing in French cuisine, and I heard it’s not bad. Would you like to go?” Yu Fei wants to refuse him without thinking. However, Gu Yi predicts her intention and speaks before her, “The situation of company is stable. I haven’t seen you for many days, I miss you.” The last three words he says in a soft voice, but Yu Fei hears it clearly. She can’t refuse him with cruelty, so she agrees.
“I'll pick you up at your house.” "No, give me the address and I'll go by myself.” Yu Fei hasn’t decided where she will go later, so she doesn’t want to trouble him. This consideration is misunderstood by Gu Yi, and he thinks it’s an implicit rejection. He sighs, “Fie, you don’t need to be so polite" Yu Fei now realizes that Gu Yi has misunderstood her, so she tries to explain. But Gu Yi doesn’t give her a chance to speak, and he firmly says, “at five o'clock I will go to your house to pick you up, that’s it." As soon as he finishes his words, he immediately hangs up as if fearing she would say no.

Yu Fei puts down the phone with a helpless smile, and put the phone into the bag. She decides to go out to relax first. She directly goes to the baby shop by taxi for her favorite thing now is to visit these stores. Those clothes and shoes are all small and lovely. Thinking of the lovely appearance when her baby puts on those, Yu Fei wants to buy all these clothes. After shopping for several hours, Yu Fei sees that it is almost five o'clock, and she hurries home by taxi with several large bags in her hands.
The car pulls up slowly in front of the red light, and Yu Fei turns her head to look out and happens to see a huge display screen outside a shopping mall broadcasting the economic news about this economic turmoil. Because it’s related to Ko’s company, she could not help but pay attention to it. The news says the situation has stabilized for the time being, mentioning several large local enterprises, including Ko’s and Gu’s. Yu Fei feels relieved a little. Opening the door of the taxi, Yu Fei sees Gu Yi waiting downstairs in his car. When he sees her, he immediately gets off, trots over and takes the bags in her hands.
It’s not five o’clock yet, so Yu Fei asks why he came so early. Gu Yi smiles but doesn’t answer her, instead he looks at the bags and finds that’s all baby's clothes. Thinking that they have bought so many clothes of this kind, he feels funny and kind of surprised. "You have bought so many clothes. Even the baby changes clothes several times a day, he/she may not try all these clothes.” Gu Yi jokes. But Yu Fei looks at him with seriousness and disagreement, “So many? I don't think I can buy enough.” Her subtle expression looks very cute as she speaks. Gu Yi smiles and agrees with her words, and he goes upstairs with Yu Fei.

Yu Fei puts things down and changes into a little formal dress, then goes out with Gu Yi. The new restaurant Gu Yi mentioned is a western restaurant specializing in French cuisine. As soon as they enter, they are ushered by waiter to the reserved table which can command a good view of the night view of the city. Yu Fei can not help but turn her head to look out of the window. Lights of the city seem more bright and colorful against the dim light of night. This scene is so beautiful that Yu Fei feels difficult to describe in words and she smiles spontaneously. Gu Yi, who sits opposite her, sees her smile, then he smiles with her in spite of himself.
"Fei, I've been busy working these days and have no time to see you. Don’t mind." Gu Yi's words draw Yu Fei's attention back, ans she smiles with embarrassment, hastily denying, “It’s OK. You have been so kind to me. How can I blame you?" Her words sound close but somewhat alienated. Gu Yi senses it. It seems that in Yu Fei's heart, he is still an "outsider ", and there still exists a boundary between them.
When Gu Yi still wants to say something, his eyes are suddenly attracted by two people behind Yu Fei, then he fixes his eyes on them. Yu Fei sees her eyes, feeling a little curious. She turns her head to find out. Gu Yi stops her and grabs her arm. She looks at his hand, then stares at him with confusion. Gu Yi responds quickly and makes up an excuse casually, “Fie, would you like to drink something?" Yu Fei feels strange, “The waiter has just served drink, just on your right hand." She points at it, saying to him. Gu Yi responds with embarrassment, but his eyes shift from Yu Fei to those two people. Seeing they sit there and have no intention to come this way, he feels relieved a little.
Gu Yi doesn’t ignore the woman beside Ko Chen. He feels that the woman looks a little familiar, but he can’t remember where he saw her. He wants to look at her again, but his sight is blocked by Yu Fei and Ko Chen, and he can only see little of her clothes. Yu Fei notices that Gu Yi is absent-minded. She is curious why he always looks behind, so she turns again to look at him. Her movement is so sudden that Gu Yi has no time to screen her. She clearly sees a man's back. Only a figure but Yu Fei still recognizes it's Ko Chen with a beautiful woman sitting on the other side. She can’t see the expression of Ko Chen, but judging by the look of that woman who occasionally covers her mouth and smiles, they are supposed to have a happy talk.
Yu Fei is stunned for several seconds, then she turns back dejectedly. She thought she could no longer care about Ko Chen's affairs, but it is not until she sees him that she has to admit that Ko Chen has always been a thorn in her heart. There is no way to pull it out, and no one can pull it out. She can't do it, and others can’t, either.
