Bab 404: She Would Stand No Chance

In her previous life, Gu Zi had spent all her time studying and earning money, leading a life devoid of warmth and human connection. Whenever she had free time, she would simply rest at home, never even considering going to the cinema.

One day, she had the sudden urge to watch a movie, only to realize that her friends had all moved on with their lives. Some were married, others had children. They had all grown up and no one was available to accompany her to the cinema anymore.

This realization deflated Gu Zi's spirits. She thought about going alone but the idea of being surrounded by young couples, becoming an unwanted third wheel, was unappealing. Thus, she dismissed the idea entirely.

Now, Su Shen had invited her to watch a movie. Gu Zi couldn't hide her joy and agreed with a bright smile, "Shall we head to the city right away?" Her voice held a touch of girlish innocence and anticipation, instantly stirring Su Shen's usually somber heart.
