There were already a lot of people gathered on Ling Yiran's side. With that scream, more people gathered around her.
Gu Lichen frowned slightly. The next moment, he pulled Ling Yiran into a parked car and drove away.
The car just sped off, leaving the crowd of people who had gathered there unable to do nothing but stare. Then, they began to discuss Ling Yiran and Gu Lichen’s relationship.
After getting into the car, Ling Yiran said to Gu Lichen, "Thank you for just now. Just drop me off somewhere around here."
However, instead of stopping the car, Gu Lichen asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"Some stranger recognized me. After all, my recent case reversal became hot internet gossip because of Hao Yimeng's apology. Please stop the car. My friend’s still in the bookstore and I have to meet her later!" said Ling Yiran.
Gu Lichen pressed his thin lips together slightly and finally pulled up to the side of the road.
Ling Yiran tried to get out of the car, but Gu Lichen stopped her. "It's only 300 meters away from the bookstore's entrance. Maybe those people will catch up with you and surround you again. You might as well contact your friend and only get off once she's here."
She nodded hesitantly at that. Then, her eyes fell on Gu Lichen's hand which was still holding her arm.
Gu Lichen's fingers tightened slightly before he slowly let go. Ling Yiran took her phone out of her bag and called Qin Lianyi.
"Lianyi, I got into some trouble just now. I'm outside at the Jinhui Building in front of the bookstore, about 300 meters away. Just come over…"
Gu Lichen, who was sitting beside her, looked at the person close at hand in a daze.
Ling Yiran said, "Probably a year from now. I want to mourn for my grandmother this year." After a pause, she added, "Also, you don't need to be extra nice to me because of Sis Lifang. Although Lifang and I are cousins, we aren't that close. I’ve never given her any help."
Gu Lichen's thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line, and the car fell into an awkward silence.
After a moment, his eyes fell on the two law books in her lap. "Are you planning to get back into law?"
"I plan to, but it depends on whether I have the ability to," said Ling Yiran. However, the longing in her eyes silently stated how much she wanted to be a lawyer again.
Gu Lichen was in a daze for a while. The person in front of him was clearly not the one, but why did she look so similar? Even the look in her eyes right now looked like the girl’s who he held in his heart.
‘She’ had once solemnly said to him, "I got the best grades in my class. Grandma said that only with good grades can I do what I want to do when I grow up."
