The Words on the Note (9)

Gu Yusheng remembered that Xu Wennuan often passed her drink to Wu Hao, who would open the cap and pass it back to her. He thought that Qin Zhi'ai wanted him to do this too, so he gently opened the cap and passed the green tea back to her. He couldn't help but smile inside; he thought this girl was funny. 

Why'd she want me to open the cap for her? Do I even know her?

She stood there with her hands cradling the green tea bottle, with no sign she would walk away. He frowned in confusion, wondering why she hadn't left after he had opened the bottle for her. 

Does she want me to take her out to eat, too?

Unfortunately, though, before he had a chance to ask her, he received a call and had to leave. His father had come home late that night, pulled his mother out of bed while she'd been sleeping, and hit her until she'd lost consciousness, sending her to the hospital.
