However, occasionally Gu Wenyu's brother would get up early and prepare breakfast for the family, and Gu Wenyu would always finish eating before heading out. Meanwhile, Li Qingping could only sit alone in the shop eating and drinking, with Gu Wenyu playing on his phone nearby, urging:
"Can you eat a bit faster, you pig?"
Li Qingping envied Gu Wenyu's family.
After all, he was an orphan. Whenever Gu Wenyu asked about his family situation, Li Qingping would just mention things like "nouveau riche" or "oil tycoon" to dodge the topic and then subtly change the subject.
Over the years, because Gu Wenyu was shy, he never suggested visiting Li Qingping's home.
If Gu Wenyu had ever mentioned it, Li Qingping might have been too lazy to continue lying and would have taken him to see the tiny broken apartment where he usually lived, but he never did.
On the contrary, Li Qingping had visited his home once or twice.
