He Is Warmer Than Time - Chapter 39

“Didn’t you say to meet at eight in the morning?”

 “I forgot that it was far for you. Why didn’t you remind me about it?”

 Gu Jinghang held onto her hand tightly and said, “It’s fine. I’m used to waking up early.”

 Song Ran was dragged into the queue while she nagged softly, “You got up around four to five in the morning, right? Were there still stars in the dark sky? You are so silly.”

 Gu Jinghang gently caressed her finger using his thumb as he let out a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth. Was he silly? Not at all.

 When it was their turn, Song Ran popped her head out from behind Gu Jinghang and looked at the ticketing lady. The lady gave her a knowing look and Song Ran was elated as she waited for the lady to put on a show.

 Supervisor Li looked at Gu Jinghang carefully and pretended to be tabulating some figures on the side. After some time, she removed her glasses and her eyes lit up as she said, “Wow, young man. You are in luck.”

 Auntie, you have great acting skills! Song Ran almost wanted to give her a thumbs up.

 Gu Jinghang was extremely confused as he looked at her and asked, “Why?”

 Supervisor Li coughed lightly and maintained a neutral expression on her face before saying, “Young man, you are the 100,000th visitor to our park this year. Your luck is incredible.”

 Song Ran immediately responded and said, “Wow, really?”

 Supervisor Li stamped the two tickets with a red stamp before handing it out through the window as she said, “Here you go. These are free of charge.”

 Everything passed by very quickly and Team Leader Gu did not have time to process everything that was going on.

 Gu Jinghang looked at the ticketing officer and turned to glance at Song Ran. While he was holding on to the tickets still feeling lost, he was dragged aside by Song Ran. Everyone else in the queue was looking at them with envy.

 Song Ran carried on with her act as she looked down at the tickets in his hands and said excitedly, “This is such a great gift which fell from heaven. Jinghang, you have such amazing luck.”

 Gu Jinghang held on tightly to the two tickets in his hands and asked with uncertainty, “There is such an event in the park?”

 “Obviously. If not, did you think the ticketing lady would give you two free tickets because you are so good-looking?”

 2Gu Jinghang glanced at her while thoughts raced in his mind. He eventually handed the tickets to her and said, “Let’s go in.”

 Song Ran heaved a sigh of relief while holding on to the tickets tightly and followed closely behind Gu Jinghang as they walked towards the entrance to get their tickets checked.

 Hey, I saved about seven to eight dollars for my Jinghang today. Song Ran noted this down in the book in her heart as she wished to redeem herself. She used to be unthoughtful towards him so she wanted to return him the favor one day.

 She carefully calculated in her head, in the three months which they had been hanging out, she had already made him spend more than 200 dollars on her. Ah, Song Ran, you were just like Zhou the Exploiter. You were terribly ruthless and inhuman.

 Meanwhile, Wen Huihui had arrived at Song Ran’s house half an hour earlier. However, as soon as she entered, she was told that Ran had already left.

 Wen Huihui looked at Song Xuan in disbelief and said, “Huh? Why did she leave without me? She told me to come at nine in the morning and it’s only 8:30 right now.”

 Song Xuan waved her hand and said, “I’m not too sure.”

 Wen Huihui did not say anything else before she rushed out of the house. She walked down the road with gritted teeth and quickly flagged down a cab. She immediately told the driver, “Sir, please take me to the Damuqiao Bird and Flower Market.”

 The bird and flower market was such a huge space, Wen Huihui was worried that she would not be able to find the couple in time.

 At the People’s Park…

 The park was flooded with visitors, mostly couples, but some parents brought their children there as well. Gu Jinghang carried the bags of food with one hand and held onto Song Ran’s hand with his other as he said softly, “There are many people here. I’m afraid you could get lost easily.”

 Gu Jinghang was worried that Song Ran would get lost. That was why he was holding her hand.

 Song Ran smiled and murmured, “What a hypocrite.”
