Meanwhile, Gao Lan rode her bike home.
When Qin Wenze saw her return, he asked in confusion, "Where have you been?"
The couple hadn’t really been on speaking terms.
But Gao Lan had been the one to speak to him first.
Qin Wenze figured that since she had broken the ice, it would be unbecoming of him, a grown man, to continue being petty.
So, their interactions had returned to how they were before.
Gao Lan was about to bring up Fu Mingxue, but she swallowed her words before they could escape.
She was afraid that if she said anything, the relationship between them, which had only just begun to thaw, would freeze over again.
So, she just said, "I just went for a walk."
Qin Wenze didn’t think much of it.
"The rice is cooked. You can just cook the other dishes in a bit. Oh, right, I found a job for you at a library. Are you interested?"
Even though he had been giving Gao Lan the cold shoulder for the past few days, he had still been looking around for a job for her.
He figured that Gao Lan was just too idle at home, which was causing her mind to run wild.
If she had a job, she wouldn’t overthink things so much.
Gao Lan was taken aback. "A library?"
Qin Wenze nodded. "It’s at a university library, and the work is pretty relaxed. The pay is thirty yuan a month, with one day off a week. What do you think?"
There was also a position in a cafeteria, but he figured Gao Lan probably wouldn’t want to work there.
A glint appeared in Gao Lan’s eyes. "Which university?"
’Could it be Beijing University? Wouldn’t that mean I’d be at the same school as Fu Mingxue?’
"It’s Beijing Normal University."
The moment Qin Wenze said this, disappointment flickered in Gao Lan’s eyes.
’And here I thought I could be at the same university as Fu Mingxue.’
