Chapter 194: I Saw Something I Shouldn't Have Seen
Chapter 194 I saw something I shouldn’t have seen
Gu Xiaosan never expected that Yang Yifei would come to celebrate her birthday. Today is indeed her birthday, but in the past few years, as she has grown older, her birthday mood has faded. Including Gu's mother, today is just a gift to her in the morning.
I cooked a bowl of longevity noodles, but there was nothing special about anything else. Unexpectedly, Yang Yifei prepared red candles and cakes for her. His intentions made Gu Xiaosan even more at a loss.
The lights in the restaurant seemed to have been specially dimmed. In the dim light of the red candles, the smile on Yang Yifei's face was gentle and sincere.
"Ruoxi, come here and blow out the candles and make a wish!"
With eyes as light as water, Gu Xiaosan fell into a psychedelic dream. She seemed to have returned to her middle school days. It was her fifteenth birthday, and it was also Yang Yifei. After she celebrated her birthday with her friends
, braved the cold wind to go to her house and gave her a cake folded with colored paper. She even remembered that he said at that time: "Ruoxi, although the fake cake is not sweet, it will be beautiful for a long time if you keep it at home."
At that time, she still laughed at him for being sensational. She didn't put the origami cake in a conspicuous position as he thought. She just put it in the cabinet and then let it go. In the end, she couldn't even find it.
.
After all these years, the scene before her really made her feel like she was back in the past.
"Thank you, Brother Yifei." Gu Xiaosan smiled knowingly, walked over, lowered his head and blew out the candle.
"Make a wish." Yang Yifei's eyes flashed brightly, and a smile spread across his face like a river of spring water.
Gu Xiaosan smiled, clasped her hands together and really closed her eyes. After a moment, she opened her eyes and sat down opposite Yang Yifei and said with a smile: "Brother Yifei, can you guess what wish I made?"
"You want me to guess?" Yang Yifei seemed a little surprised.
Gu Xiaosan nodded seriously, his eyes flashing with crystal light: "Well, you guess."
Yang Yifei frowned: "I can't guess that well. They say you women's thoughts are the most difficult to guess with a needle on the seabed."
"It doesn't matter, you can guess whatever you want." Gu Xiaosan continued to induce.
Yang Yifei lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying: "You just got married. I think your wish must be to live a harmonious and beautiful life after marriage."
His tone was indescribably lonely, which made Gu Xiaosan frown.
"No. It has nothing to do with me."
"Huh? It has nothing to do with you?" Yang Yifei said in surprise, looking up at Gu Xiaosan's lively and bright face, a little confused.
Gu Xiaosan smiled: "Yes, I didn't make a wish for myself at all, I made a wish for someone else."
"Who?" Yang Yifei asked.
"you!"
"I?"
"Well, I hope you can meet the person of your choice in the new year." Gu Xiaosan said very seriously, and Yang Yifei couldn't help but fall silent.
How could he not understand what Gu Xiaosan meant? Didn't she mean to indirectly tell him that she was not the one he was destined for? She told him not to wait any longer.
But...it was once difficult for him to overcome the sea, except for Wushan, he was not a cloud. How difficult would it be for him to forget the girl he had been in love with for many years?
Yang Yifei smiled softly and bitterly: "Ruoxi, thank you for caring about me. It's just that sometimes this person's heart is difficult for him to control. I'm afraid your efforts will be in vain."
"But Brother Yifei, it's really impossible for us. If I could, I would have promised you back then." After thinking about it again and again, Gu Xiaosan decided to speak her mind directly. She didn't want to delay Yang Yifei, and such an outstanding man would be ruined in this world.
In her hands, she will feel guilty.
The furrow between Yang Yifei's brows deepened, but the indifferent smile on his face became more obvious: "It doesn't matter, Ruoxi, I knew I was just dreaming. From the day I decided to return to China, I thought it would be like this. It's just that
But I didn’t expect you to get married so quickly. Ruoxi, tell me, is he good to you? Do you love him?"
Gu Xiaosan's heart skipped a beat, and when he met Yang Yifei's burning eyes, he didn't know how to speak.
The air was so silent that it was almost still. Gu Xiaosan's heart was racing with Ling Moxuan's words and deeds. He didn't know how much time passed before he said softly: "It's pretty good."
She automatically ignored the question of love or not. Firstly, she didn't know if she was in love with Ling Moxuan. Secondly, the word love was somewhat sensational and hard to describe.
Yang Yifei's handsome face darkened slightly. He turned to the ring on Gu Xiaosan's finger. Even in the dim light, the light of the diamond was still difficult to conceal.
"This ring is so beautiful." He sighed. Anyone who can afford such a good ring must have considerable financial resources, at least not yet. Men are most afraid of comparisons, and they tend to feel inferior when compared.
Gu Xiaosan turned around and looked at the ring. She had put it on specially when she came out today. It was to serve as evidence that she was married. Looking at Yang Yifei's gloomy face, she knew that her purpose had been achieved.
That's fine. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. If he can really think it through, it would be a good thing. Gu Xiaosan simply smiled and said, "Yes, I like it too."
Her soft, boneless long fingers gently pinched the rose-shaped receptacle on the ring, her eyes drifted to the four letters, and the corners of her lips raised a beautiful arc.
The atmosphere darkened again. Gu Xiaosan felt a little bored and turned to look out the window. Qingcheng was not as lively as S City, but there was still a Chinese New Year atmosphere. Colored lanterns were hung everywhere, and occasionally fireworks flashed in the air.
The dark and lonely night sky.
"That's fine, as long as you are happy." Yang Yifei sighed softly, and his disappointment was replaced by a relieved smile.
Gu Xiaosan turned around and smiled with a faint arched eyebrow: "I will be fine, and so will you."
"I hope so, if I can control my restless heart." Yang Yifei pretended to be playful, and Gu Xiaosan's heart relaxed a little.
"By the way, Brother Yifei, how is your work? Are you having a good time after coming back from abroad?" Gu Xiaosan changed the subject, Yang Yifei nodded, casually stirred the hot drink in front of him: "It's okay. Basically.
It's going well. The company may promote me to another position after the year, so the overall prospects are good."
Yang Yifei raised his eyebrows and smiled confidently, shaking off the dark emotions just now. Gu Xiaosan immediately said: "That's great. I knew you were the best. It seems I really asked too many questions."
Then, the two chatted some other words. They also shared cakes, and no one mentioned the matter that had happened in the past. It was already late at night when they came out of the restaurant, and Yang Yifei acted as the driver to take Gu Xiaosan home.
Gu Xiaosan didn't even think about it. When she got on the car, she didn't expect that there was a pair of sinister eyes staring at her from the shadow not far away.
