after eating.

Gu Jingzhan and Xiang Wanqiao followed Lu Qingzhou.

Qi Xiaoyi held the car keys in his hand and said to Wen Yu, "Where are you going later? I'll take you there."

Wen Yu looked down at the screen of her phone, as if waiting for someone's message, and then refused: "No, someone will come to pick me up later."

"Who is it?" Qi Xiaoyi asked curiously.

Wen Yu raised her eyes, glanced at him calmly, and said to him: "What does it have to do with you?"

"Hey!"

Qi Xiaoyi was choked by her attitude. He gritted his teeth and deliberately contradicted her.

"I have nothing to do anyway, I'll wait with you."

Wen Yu ignored him, just lowered her head to organize her things and prepared to wait at the door.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaoyi followed.

He folded his arms across his chest, leaned against the glass door, and asked in a sly voice, "Where's the person you were talking about? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Hearing this, Wen Yu glanced at him with disdain, "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

"I'm just anxious to see who's coming to pick you up. What if you're knocked out by bad guys again? I can't explain to your cousin and his wife."

"Don't worry, the people who will come later are not bad people."

As soon as Wen Yu finished speaking, a white car drove slowly in and stopped steadily at the door.

"Wen Yu."

Yang Chuhuai rolled down the car window, with a gentle smile on his face, and called out to Wen Yu.

Qi Xiaoyi tilted his head and looked into the car.

When Wen Yu saw Yang Chuhuai, a smile as beautiful as a flower instantly bloomed on his face and he was ready to run towards the car.

Qi Xiaoyi grabbed her arm, his tone filled with confusion and worry: "Yang Chuhuai? Why is it him? You and him..."

"Why can't it be him?" Wen Yu shook off his hand, "He has agreed to be with me. He is my boyfriend now."

Qi Xiaoyi frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions, "Before you forgot about him..."

"He has explained everything about his ex-girlfriend to me. That night was just a misunderstanding."

After saying that, Wen Yu waved at him anxiously.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. We have a date soon. I'm leaving now."

Qi Xiaoyi's brows suddenly furrowed even tighter.

He watched Wen Yu get into Yang Chuhuai's car, and the car slowly drove away in front of him, leaving only a shadow of the car moving further and further away.

Qi Xiaoyi felt depressed, with an indescribable emotion surging in his heart.

After the car drove away, Yang Chuhuai asked: "What was that just now..."

Wen Yu's eyes sparkled with innocence and purity, and then she smiled and replied, "That's Qi Xiaoyi, a good friend who grew up with my cousin. Our families have a good relationship."

She went on to say, "Xicuilou was opened by him. The food is very good. Next time I will take you there to try it and introduce you to each other."

Yang Chuhuai nodded, a hint of deep meaning flashed across his eyes: "Okay."

night.

The rain is falling.

At the end of the east corridor on the second floor, Gu Jingzhan was huddled alone in a dark corner, the bottle of wine in his hand reflecting his lonely face.

He stared blankly at the blurry world outside through the square glass window.

The drizzle of rain was tapping against the window.

Gu Jingzhan's mood at this moment was just like the gloomy night, depressed and suppressed.

After Xiang Wanqiao finished her work in the room, she noticed that it was already half past ten and Gu Jingzhan had not returned to the room yet.

She closed her laptop, stood up and walked to the window.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, pouring down as if it was going to drown the whole world.

Xiang Wanqiao looked at the heavy rain, and an inexplicable thought suddenly came to her mind.

Gu Jingzhan’s melancholy face and his lonely figure kept flashing through her mind.

After a while, Xiang Wanqiao walked out of the room and went to the study on the second floor to find Gu Jingzhan.

However, Gu Jingzhan was not in the study.

Then, she went to the first floor to look for him, but still did not see Gu Jingzhan.

Wang Ma saw that she seemed to be looking for something, so she walked over and asked, "Madam, what are you looking for? Do you need my help?"

"Have you seen Ah Zhan?" Xiang Wanqiao asked back.

Wang Ma shook her head. "Isn't the master in the study?"

"He's not in now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Wanqiao suddenly had an idea.

"I know where he is."

After saying this, she turned around and went back to the second floor.

Sure enough, Xiang Wanqiao found Gu Jingzhan at the end of the east corridor on the second floor.

She quietly walked to Gu Jingzhan, slowly squatted in front of him, reached out and held his slightly cold hand.

"Why are you sitting here drinking alone again?"

Gu Jingzhan didn't move, but his thin lips moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "I already knew that she had depression."

Xiang Wanqiao was stunned at first, but after realizing who the 'she' he was talking about was, she squeezed his hand tightly.

Then she heard him say, "But what? Just because she is sick, should I forgive her for everything she has done to me?"

Gu Jingzhan's eyes were red, and he didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or...

But the sadness and pain in his heart were real.

Gu Jingzhan murmured in a low voice: "Since you left, why did you come back? And why did you disturb my current life?"

"I was clearly a victim and was schemed against before. But now, you are using those schemes against me and keep saying you want to make amends..."

Gu Jingzhan sneered, his smile full of bitterness and self-mockery.

Xiang Wanqiao listened to what he said in silence, her eyes fixed on his melancholy yet resolute profile, her heart aching.

In her previous life, she had never really understood him, nor had she really cared about what he had been through, let alone explored the pain and struggle deep in his heart.

She missed so much.

If God hadn't given her a chance to be reborn, she would never have been able to understand how much pain Gu Jingzhan was in.

Xiang Wanqiao's nose felt sour, and her slender fingertips touched the corner of his eye, her eyes filled with unspeakable heartache.

She said softly, "If you want to forgive, then forgive. If you don't want to forgive, then don't forgive. This is your right."

Gu Jingzhan slowly turned his head and looked into her eyes, "Qiaoqiao, I don't want to forgive."

"Then we won't forgive."

Xiang Wanqiao said nothing and firmly supported all his choices.

"Qiaoqiao, will you abandon me?"

Because of what happened last night, Gu Jingzhan's lack of confidence and insecurity were once again forced out.

"No." Xiang Wanqiao held his face with both hands and looked at him firmly and affectionately, "Never."

Gu Jingzhan burst into tears instantly, leaned forward, hugged her waist, buried his head in her neck, and cried like a child.

Xiang Wanqiao hugged him tenderly, stroked his head with her hand, and comforted him: "None of this is your fault. It's because they can't see your good side and don't know how to cherish you."

Gu Jingzhan tightened his arms around her waist and called out with a sob, "Qiaoqiao..."

"Gu Jingzhan, you will always be the best in my heart."

Xiang Wanqiao tilted her head and gently kissed him on the ear.

"I love you."

She knew that Gu Jingzhan had always been someone who longed for love.
