If we don’t clarify things, it’ll only end up hurting him more in the end.
"The real reason I came back this time is because I like..."
"It doesn’t matter, I’m just glad you’re back." Ais knew what she was about to say.
He certainly wasn’t going to give her the chance to refuse. The most update n0vels are published on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
It was already hard enough to speak, and being interrupted like that, Gu Yao really didn’t have the courage to say something hurtful again.
"I should go back now. It’s cold, you should head back early too." Gu Yao stood up, ready to leave.
Ais suddenly called out to her.
Gu Yao turned back to look at him: "What’s up?"
"Will you stop talking to me because of your brother?"
Seeing Gu Yao not speaking, Ais anxiously stood up and continued, "I’m not afraid of getting beaten."
Seeing Ais , Gu Yao increasingly felt that he reminded her of someone.
Someone who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, and such an Ais gave her a strange feeling.
—Last night my brother lost his temper and told me not to date you, and said he’d beat you up if he saw you again.
—I’m not afraid of getting beaten. Let your brother come as he pleases.
—No way, you can’t hit my brother.
—I won’t hit him; I’ll let him hit me.
—That’s not okay either.
A strange conversation suddenly popped into Gu Yao’s mind, with some fragmented images flashing before her eyes.
Gu Yao felt baffled, not understanding why such a conversation would appear.
"Gu Yao?" Seeing Gu Yao staring blankly at him, Ais waved his hand in front of her.
Gu Yao snapped back to reality and stared at Ais for a while longer.
If she weren’t sure that their meeting at the bar was the first time they had met, she’d suspect she had known him before but just forgot.
"Nothing, I’m leaving first."
"You haven’t answered me yet, will you stop talking to me because of your brother..."
Perhaps provoked by Ais repeatedly mentioning "because of your brother," Gu Yao, as if in a huff with Gu Sheng, blurted out, "No."
"Really?" Ais’s eyes lit up, and he asked joyfully.
"Mm, I’m leaving now." Gu Yao, feeling very upset, only wanted to go home and quietly stay in her room for a while.
"Be careful on your way."
Ais knew when to advance and retreat, seeing Gu Yao’s expression, he didn’t say anything more.
He simply watched as Gu Yao left.
Feeling Ais’s gaze lingering on her, Gu Yao subconsciously quickened her steps.
Not until she had walked away did Ais finally withdraw his gaze.
Ais raised his hand, lightly touched the wound on his face, then looked at the drawing in his hand.
"I must have learned it well enough."
Ais muttered to himself, furrowing his brows and thinking seriously for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction at his own recent performance.
"Shangguan Yu should be just ."
In recent days, Gu Yao hadn’t seen Gu Sheng. To be honest, she both wanted to see him and was afraid to see him.
She feared that once they met, they would argue again, but she also didn’t want to keep giving him the silent treatment.
Several times she passed by Gu Sheng’s place, she would deliberately stand at the door for a while, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
But Gu Sheng was nowhere to be seen, as if he was deliberately avoiding her.
Though she was in a cold war with Gu Sheng, the Gu Family has become more and more lively lately as everyone was happy about Gu Li’s wedding.
The bride’s family had visited the Gu Family several times, and Gu Yao once met the future sister-in-law, a very gentle and graceful person.
