Back Then, I Adored You (25)

Too many changes had taken place in the past 10 years, and Gu Yusheng wasn't sure if the book rental store was still around, but he decided to give it a shot and led Qin Zhi'ai toward where it used to be. Qin Zhi'ai had loved that store; however, it was no longer a book rental store, but an actual retail bookstore.

A large advertisement was erected at the door promoting a recently published book titled Back Then, I Adored You. Gu Yusheng was familiar with the author because he had seen Qin Zhi'ai flipping through another book at home by the same author—Ye Feiye.

Qin Zhi'ai was puzzled about why Gu Yusheng had brought her to this bookstore. Gu Yusheng didn't explain and merely took her hand again and took her inside. When they reached a corner, they saw a stash of old books. Most of the covers had rotted, and the pages inside were torn.
