Loving The Rival

CHAPTER 157: Unexpected Calmness

After looking around the sanctuary, Guo Cheng Yu invited Wang Shuo to the terrace garden to have some tea.

They sat facing one another, Wang Shuo took a good look at Guo Cheng Yu from head to toe, not sure what he saw but he suddenly smiled as if he caught something funny.

"What are you laughing at?" Guo Cheng Yu asked.

Wang Shuo said: "why did it looks like you didn't change at all?"

[T/N: it actually means something like stop growing or getting older. Hence GCY thought he was talking about his height while in fact WS was talking about his face.]

"What are you talking about?" Guo Cheng Yu wondered, "Did I shrunken? I was 1.78m when you left, now I'm 1.82m, no matter what, I did increased by some centimetres."

"I am not talking about your height, I'm talking about your face."

"Face?"

Wang Shuo nodded, "I can still remember it clearly, when we were still students, you look the oldest between the three of us. At that time, we both always teased you saying that you look like you are in mid 20s when in fact you are only 17 or 18. Now we are almost thirty, and you look like you are still in your 20s, didn't it simply mean that you didn't change?"

"Turned out you were talking about this." Guo Cheng Yu teased back, "that's because you are aging so fast."

Wang Shuo reluctantly rubbed his face and sighed, "no choice, I have been in a tough spot when I was abroad in these past few years."

"You are still as shameless as ever." Guo Cheng Yu snorted, "you are the most carefree out of us, and it's not shocking if it makes you aging fast."

Wang Shuo smiled indifferently, he placed his foot on the veranda while his head was resting against a lamppost, it was as if he was boneless. It was completely wasn't like a human sitting position, but more like a snake.

"I realized that you have been away for so many years, but your Beijing dialect is still thick." Guo Cheng Yu said.

Wang Shuo squinted his eyes and sluggishly said: "I have been back for half a year."

Guo Cheng Yu was caught off guard by it.

"Does that mean you returned during New Year?"

Wang Shuo simply admit it.

It was initially a lie Jiang Xiao Shuai made in order to help Chi Cheng to get together with Wu Suowei, and unexpectedly it came true, Guo Cheng Yu couldn't refrain from sighing: "you are really good at hiding."

"Who said I was hiding?" Wang Shuo said nonchalantly, "I also have a home in Beijing, why shouldn't I come back?"

Guo Cheng Yu haughtily smirked, "but I had already guessed that you will be coming back soon."

Wang Shuo glanced at Guo Cheng Yu, "why did you guess it?"

Guo Cheng Yu lit up a cigarette, and he faintly explained as he smoked: "the stallion that you had reined for six years had already been unleashed by someone else, if you don't come back to chase after it, the horse will be taken away and you won't even be able to get it back."

"Stop your nonsense!" Wang Shuo raised his hand and stopped him, "If I really want to chase after it, I would already done so in six months ago, I won't wait until now. I can simply snatch the reins if I want to chase after it, but now even if I take over the reins, I don't think the horse will follow me."

"Don't you like to play with fire?"

Wang Shuo said, "I'm going back in two days."

Guo Cheng Yu's eyes slightly squinted, "you'll leave without seeing Chi Cheng?"
