Chapter 683: An Old Acquaintance

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a whirlwind farewell with Guan Xin, Gu Zi sped off in her off-road vehicle. Gu Zi, having packed her things, was preparing to leave on her bicycle when a voice stopped her, “Little Zi, is that really you?”

Gu Zi looked up to find a young man she didn’t recognize standing before her. His face was etched with surprise, as if he hadn’t quite recovered from the shock of seeing her.

He was handsome in a refined way, with a pair of thin black-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. Dressed in a knitted sweater and suit pants, his hair was styled in a trendy side part. Yet, there was nothing greasy about him. Instead, his appearance accentuated his handsome features, giving him an air of cultured elegance.

His expression became somewhat complex. Before Gu Zi could speak, he continued, “I heard you had left the city. I was quite disappointed, but then I found out you were coming to work at our newspaper. I was thrilled. Are you here to report for work today? Do you need me to show you around? It can be hard to find people at the newspaper sometimes.”

Gu Zi was a bit taken aback. Judging from his words, he seemed to be an old acquaintance of the original owner of her body. However, she couldn’t quite recall who he was, suggesting he wasn’t a particularly significant figure.

But since he had called out to her and they were going to be colleagues, she felt obliged to respond, “I’ve moved back to the city. I’m here to report for work, and I’ve already completed the onboarding process. I’m sorry, but who are you?”

The man seemed relieved to hear that Gu Zi had already been onboarded. But when she asked who he was, a wave of disappointment washed over him. It seemed Gu Zi no longer recognized him.

Despite growing taller over the years, his appearance hadn’t changed much. But perhaps in Gu Zi’s heart, he was an insignificant figure, not worth remembering.

He said somewhat dejectedly, “I’ve been abroad for many years and just returned. We haven’t seen each other in a long time, so it’s understandable that you don’t recognize me. I’m Wu Hao. We used to share a desk at school, and before I went abroad…”
