"Gu Ningyi, it hurts..." Her voice was low and soft, with a touch of grievance in its tone. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI★Fire.net
But this sentence caused Gu Ningyi to be deeply shocked, his dark eyes momentarily dazed.
He never expected Dong Xin Yan would cry out in pain to him, doing so in such a natural way, so natural that it seemed as if she and he were truly intimate people, which is why she shouted with such grievance and ease.
Once, during the time he was blind, Yalin seemed to have used this kind of tone to sweet-talk and complain to him, even the pitch seemed exactly the same.
It was when he was frustrated due to unsatisfactory eyesight recovery, and he threw a tantrum, smashing and messing up everything at home. Yalin tried to stop him and accidentally was pushed by him, hitting the wall hard, bumping her head.
At that time, as he panicked and felt his way to her side, holding her anxiously asking if she was okay, she grabbed his arm and said this same sentence to him.
Gu Ningyi, it hurts...
Not more, not less, just these five words.
All along, she never easily cried out in pain, only that one time, so the memory was particularly vivid.
Gu Ningyi stared blankly at the woman beneath him, why did she always overlap with his memories from time to time, why was the familiar feeling he couldn’t find in Yalin, found in her, why was he always involuntarily influenced and led by her.
He never really took the time to think about this question carefully, but at this moment, many doubts unexpectedly arose, fully occupying his mind.
Desire gradually disappeared, anger was also dispelled by these words, Gu Ningyi slowly withdrew from Dong Xi Yan’s body, the pain disappeared, and Dong Xin Yan’s tightly knit brow and eyes finally relaxed a bit.
Gu Ningyi propped up his body, lowered his eyes, and quietly gazed at Dong Xin Yan’s face, his hand slowly caressing it.
The parts of Dong Xin Yan that overlapped with his memory, the inexplicable familiarity, was it coincidence, or... was there something he didn’t know?
He had suspected before whether Dong Xin Yan was the one who took care of him, but he dismissed it every time, because he thought it was impossible, because deep down, he was always resisting and denying that answer.
But now, he was suddenly puzzled.
Too many coincidences, might not be coincidences after all, right?
Back then when he was blind and could not see, he still had feelings, he still had a heart, these things were unmistakable, otherwise, he wouldn’t have sensed Zhou Yalin’s change after his eyesight recovered.
He had been with Zhou Yalin for almost five years, and the adults long urged them to marry, but he always instinctively delayed.
Half a year ago, Yalin went to the United States out of anger because he once again refused to marry due to his busy work schedule. And after Yalin went to the United States, he barely noticed her absence, or rather, his heart didn’t stir the slightest ripple, as if she was... an unrelated person.
Instead, it was Dong Xin Yan.
Since they reunited in college, he couldn’t help but pay attention to her, watching her every move, and his mood fluctuated accordingly.
If someone had to say that all these years, whoever could affect his emotions, it really is... just Dong Xin Yan, even though she always made him angry, irritable, depressed, and uncontrollably out of sorts!
