She has made a fool of herself. She has been unworthy of Chu Shixiu, who is walking in the sunshine, ever since her family fell into decline, and now...she is even more unworthy.
She doesn't even deserve to be hugged by Chu Shixiu...
Tears fell desperately, Gu Xiaoai bit her lip to suppress her sobbing, and after a while, she said with difficulty, "Well... long time no see."
Although she tried her best to control her out-of-control emotions, her voice still sounded choked.
Hearing this, Chu Shixiu's body trembled.
Her words were more alienating than he imagined.
The little girl who could always find him the first time had never spoken to him in such a polite and distant manner.
His hands slowly let go of her body.
Gu Xiaoai turned her head subconsciously, but the tears on her face had already fallen into Chu Shixiu's eyes.
Chu Shixiu was stunned, carefully held her face with both hands, and whispered softly, "Why are you crying? Don't cry, stop crying Aai..."
His heartache was reflected in his eyes.
As if holding precious jewelry, Chu Shixiu wiped away her tears little by little and coaxed her softly, "Stop crying. We haven't seen you for so many years. Why do you cry when you see me?"
Because he had been thinking about her for nine whole years...
Because he has become a tumor in her heart, and it hurts whenever she touches him.
Gu Xiaoai smiled at him with difficulty and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
Touching her wet hair, Chu Shixiu frowned slightly, "How did it get like this?"
Gu Xiaoai lowered her head in embarrassment. Her hair was wet and her face was full of tears... She must look ugly now.
"Come." Chu Shixiu said softly, holding her hand and pushing open a door and walking in.
Gu Xiaoai lowered her head and happened to see the diamond ring on his ring finger.
Represents engagement and love.
Gu Xiaoai took back her hand without thinking. Chu Shixiu paused and looked at his hand frozen in mid-air in shock.
After so many years, has she become a stranger to him?
Will she even hide when he holds her hand?
"I'm sorry, did I offend you?" Chu Shixiu stood at the door and apologized softly, with a hint of hurt in his gentle eyes.
How could he offend her? Nothing he could do would ever offend her.
"No." Gu Xiaoai smiled faintly.
As soon as this conversation came out, the distance between the two suddenly increased.
It was as if they were just two ordinary friends who hadn't seen each other for many years and were so embarrassed that they couldn't find the right words to say.
