Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

But... when did this begin?

The moment they left, Shen Qianshu moved over. “Babe, haven’t you noticed anything amiss when you usually interact with Gu Xie?”

“No.” Tong Hua recalled seriously. “The first time we interacted was from three years ago. Back then, he took good care of me, and aunt Xiaojuan was almost always around. It’s weird. Gu Xie may be very aloof, but he seemed to love to carry me. I’ve never had a father since I was young, and I’m pretty happy when he carried me. So we interacted quite a lot, but I have never sensed that he liked Aunt Xiaojuan.”

“He appointed you for that show.”

“Yup!”

“So he could have been having that crush for at least three years?”

“Why couldn’t it be that he had chosen me because I was cute and lovable?”

Shen Qianshu remained silent for a moment, and the two smiled at each other. There were several things that seemed normal at first, but when recalled, it could be sensed that something was amiss. For instance, Gu Xie had been deliberately trying to get close to them while also leaving a safe distance between them.

“I honestly don’t understand what the adults are up to. If you like someone, you like someone. If you don’t, you don’t. Why must y’all hide things from one another and have crushes? How pathetic is it to have a crush on someone when they don’t even know you do? Who knows, what if you confess and it turns out that the two of you like each other? Isn’t that way better?”

Shen Qianshu felt an arrow to her knee.

She had once had a crush on Ye Ling.

But if she had told Ye Ling, Master, I like you.

She was sure that if she had told Ye Ling that seven years ago, he would have said, you’re sacked.

Tong Hua did not know that he had hurt Shen Qianshu. “If he had confessed to Aunt Xiaojuan earlier, there wouldn’t be all of this Yan Jianming drama.”

“Indeed!”

The good thing is that it still isn’t too late!

Lin Xiaojuan sent Gu Xie down, and the two of them were silent along the way. Lin Xiaojuan did not know what to say to him, and she kept her head hanging low while she followed alongside him. They left the gates of the hospital, and Gu Xie suddenly stopped walking. Lin Xiaojuan followed him and stopped. She looked up at him and felt a little confused.

“If what I said that day had scared you, just pretend that it was just said randomly. Don’t take it to heart,” Gu Xie said softly. He did not really like this awkwardness in the air. It was as if he was putting her in a spot. He did not wish to force her to do anything and did not wish to become a burden in her heart.

Lin Xiaojuan asked, “Said randomly?”

Gu Xie neither nodded nor shook his head. He stared at her intently, and his eyes were deep and dark like a swirling whirlpool. Lin Xiaojuan felt a little angered. Because of what you said, I was helpless and lost. I could not fall asleep for days, and now you’re telling me that you had said that randomly?

Lin Xiaojuan was well-trained in this industry, and yet, she could not make out Gu Xie’s intentions. She had only one experience with love relationships, and it was with Yan Jianming. Whenever the two of them interacted, it was as if she was the only one speaking. Even when Yan Jianming ate, he had to ask for her opinion. Whenever she said where they should go, they would go there. Back then, she thought that Yan Jianming was thinking for her and caring for her preferences, but now that she looked back, she felt that she only wanted to be an idiot with no opinion and have a blank mind when she was with a boyfriend.

“Gu Xie, you...” Lin Xiaojuan bit her lip. Things between her and Gu Xie could not go on like this forever. This awkward atmosphere was too much for her. She had always liked things to be fast and straightforward. “Do you really like me?”

Gu Xie nodded without any hesitation.

Lin Xiaojuan said, “But, I never knew anything about this all the time. This is too sudden.”

“So, you won’t accept me?”

Lin Xiaojuan was startled. Am I not going to accept you?
