She knew everything he said; she was just asking for trouble. Matters of the heart aren’t as simple as saying you don’t like someone. Her heart was not in sync with her words.
"Alright, alright, I won’t mind your business, okay! Call me a busybody." Gu Jin Yan was also angry. He just couldn’t understand how this crafty, little troublemaker turned clueless whenever she encountered Cheng Zhiyan.
He really suspected that Cheng Zhiyan might have bewitched her or something.
"You... hmph!!" Helian Xi felt a bit wronged. When others spoke to her , she could accept it.
But when Gu Jin Yan said it, she felt upset.
Gu Jin Yan didn’t say anything all the way, only when they passed by a shoe store did he say to Helian Xi, "Wait for me in the car for a moment."
Helian Xi had no idea what Gu Jin Yan was up to. Her foot was indeed not able to walk well, especially in high heels, so she obediently sat in the car.
Until Gu Jin Yan returned, holding a shoe box in his hand, and handed it to her directly, "Put these on! If you don’t like wearing high heels, don’t force yourself. The temperatures have dropped, so you shouldn’t wear spaghetti straps."
"Thank you." Helian Xi hurriedly changed into the shoes. Gu Jin Yan had a good eye; the pair she now wore on her feet could also match her dress.
Moreover, the soles were soft and comfortable.
"It’s rare for you to say thank you to me." Gu Jin Yan wasn’t really mad at her. If he were genuinely angry, he wouldn’t have been clinging to her all these years.
The two had known each other for over a decade, living close by, and could be considered childhood friends.
Unfortunately, the boy was in love, while the girl was indifferent.
"Gu Jin Yan, would you die if you didn’t tease me? All you know is how to lecture me all day long."
"That saying is true: those who are favored have nothing to fear." Gu Jin Yan suddenly said something that left Helian Xi confused.
"What do you mean? Are you pretending to be an artsy youth?" Helian Xi never got along with Gu Jin Yan and had no idea he liked her.
Even if Gu Jin Yan confessed his love for her, she would only think of it as a prank.
Gu Jin Yan said no more, driving until he stopped at the hospital.
Then, he opened the rear car door, planning to carry Helian Xi, but she refused.
"I’m feeling much better now, so there’s no need to go to the hospital!" Even at the hospital door, Helian Xi didn’t dare to go in.
The shadows from childhood were still there.
The mere thought of it made her feel uncomfortable all over.
"Really, Gu Jin Yan, it’s just a small matter." Helian Xi’s whole body resisted; she sat in the car, unwilling to get out.
"I don’t think it’s a small matter. If you don’t care about yourself, haven’t you thought that others might worry and care? It’s just Cheng Zhiyan. It’s not the first time he’s rejected or hurt you. Is it worth it?" Gu Jin Yan was truly annoyed and almost wished he could give her a good scolding.
"No! You’re wrong, this time he didn’t reject me, nor was it me who asked him out." Helian Xi raised her head high, proudly saying, "This time, he asked me out and confessed to me."
Gu Jin Yan’s expression froze for a long time before slowly returning to normal. He clenched his fist, "So, did you accept him? If that’s the case, why did you end up ? Did he not even know to escort you?"
