As soon as her fingers touched the door, Chu Shixiu hugged her waist from behind again. This time, Chu Shixiu hugged her a little urgently, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
"Don't go, Ai Ai." Chu Shixiu blurted out anxiously, almost begging.
Tears almost fell down again.
Gu Xiaoai bit her lip. She really couldn't stay any longer. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control herself if she stayed any longer...
Is she afraid that he will ask how she is doing?
Is she afraid that he will ask her where she lives now?
She was afraid that he would ask her if she had a boyfriend now? Did she study directing? Did she realize her dream?
…
She couldn't answer a single question, not all of them.
Everyone walked uphill, but she was the only one walking farther and farther downhill...so far that she could never go back.
"I really have something to do, Chu Shixiu, please don't be like this." Gu Xiaoai said while holding back her tears, reaching out to break away his entangled hands around her waist, her body trembled slightly.
"Don't let go." Chu Shixiu's tone revealed a childlike stubbornness.
For nine years, he never stopped inquiring about her.
Once she leaves this time, when can he see her next?
A quick visit won't satisfy him.
"Don't be like this..." Gu Xiaoai's voice was choked, so he stopped holding her.
She is not that resistant to him...
She was afraid that she couldn't control herself in responding to his hug, and she was afraid that she couldn't control herself in telling him that she had liked him for so many years...
Chu Shixiu had great strength and hugged her tightly, with great persistence and no intention of letting go.
The ring on his ring finger stuck to her waist through the evening dress...
It cut her flesh and blood like a knife.
It was like a wake-up call, reminding her that no matter how hard she could control her emotions, she had to control them... she had to control them.
"Chu Shixiu, your ring is touching me." Gu Xiaoai made her voice sound more indifferent, even more indifferent...
As if with some kind of sign.
She knew Chu Shixiu understood.
Chu Shixiu's body trembled, and then he let go of her hands. He stood behind her and apologized, "I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter." Gu Xiaoai turned her back to him and shook her head.
sorry.
It doesn't matter.
Sorry for nothing...it doesn't matter...
She already doesn't understand.
"Ai Ai, I mean..." Chu Shixiu did not end the topic, his tone was extremely apologetic, and he said in a soft voice with some reluctance, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten engaged before I found you."
