Yang Huan didn't know that her half-baked detective, Ke Huan, was indeed a half-baked detective. She had only guessed half of Ding Xiang's thoughts.
Of course, to clarify all of this, one had to rewind time to the afternoon two days ago.
Ding Xiang stood in the stairwell, not knowing whether to move forward or backward. She clenched her fists and listened to Xue Baolin's confession to Guo Ziyi.
"Brother Guo, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Ahem, I just find it strange. I'm fat and ugly, and the fans of the Extreme Challenge call me Little Fatty Guo. Why would you … like me?"
"Who said you're ugly? Although you're just a little chubbier, you're still very handsome! Also, people say that fat people have potential. I think they're right. You should be on a diet now. You've lost a lot of weight, and you've become more handsome! Really, you have a lot of female fans online. Everyone says you're gentle and caring! But I like your intelligence more. You're too smart. Every time I see you fighting with Yuan Yan, I'm so excited that I tremble all over … "
Ding Xiang's eyes dimmed, and she loosened her grip on his hand.
When she heard Xue Baolin say that Guo Ziyi had become even more handsome after losing weight, Ding Xiang felt like she was regretting teaching her husband to seek a title.
However, just as Ding Xiang was feeling sad, Guo Ziyi's words entered her ears. "I have a girlfriend, and I like her a lot …"
Ding Xiang raised her head in surprise.
Guo Ziyi had a girlfriend? Why didn't she know?
Then, she heard Guo Ziyi say, "My girlfriend is quite nice to me. She cooks a lot for me. Although she's strict sometimes … she's always thinking about my health."
Ding Xiang was stunned. Weren't these "clues" pointing to her?
At that moment, Ding Xiang's emotions were in turmoil and became even more complicated!
…
How did Ding Xiang feel about Guo Ziyi?
Ding Xiang had the most right to speak.
In the beginning, Guo Ziyi could only be regarded as a junior brother that left a deep impression on her. At that time, Guo Ziyi's character was still immature. He was just a little kid who hadn't grown up yet. He shamelessly wanted to go to the bar where she worked to play.
If it weren't for Ding Xiang's good character and tolerance towards Guo Ziyi, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have bothered with Guo Ziyi.
However, Ding Xiang did not expect that Guo Ziyi would return the favor and take the initiative to help her find a stable job in Yang Yi.
For this, Ding Xiang had always been grateful to Guo Ziyi. She even felt that Guo Ziyi was not only her friend, but also her benefactor, a benefactor just like Yang Yi!
Therefore, when she was just a waitress, Ding Xiang had always been very tolerant of Guo Ziyi. If Guo Ziyi wanted to eat cake, Ding Xiang would also make delicious cakes. Of course, she was just an employee, and Guo Ziyi had to pay for it.
During this period, something very special happened!
Last year, on Ding Xiang's birthday, Guo Ziyi bought a birthday present for Ding Xiang. It was the crystal hair clip that Ding Xiang had taken a fancy to when Guo Ziyi accompanied her to buy a present for Murphy. Although Guo Ziyi had a good memory, he could keep the things that he liked in his heart and secretly bought it for her.
This matter still stirred up a lot of waves in Ding Xiang's heart! Ding Xiang was very touched …
But at that time, Ding Xiang's heart was thinking about her younger brothers and sisters in her hometown. She would send the money back when she earned it. Her life was tight, and she didn't have the mood to think about more complicated issues. This matter only stopped at the feeling of opening the gift.
This situation continued until Yang Yi helped Ding Xiang solve her worries. Ding Xiang finally decided to live a good life and set an example for her younger brothers and sisters.
From then on, Ding Xiang was the complete Ding Xiang. She began to save her own money and started to plan her career path. At the beginning … she was like a normal girl, having some romantic feelings.
For a girl like Ding Xiang who had no feelings and a narrow circle of contacts, it was easier for her to be moved by the people around her.
Tang Kaitai and his father were imprisoned, and Qianli Chuanshu regained his freedom. Last November, they celebrated at the coffee shop, which reminded Ding Xiang of something that she had forgotten for a long time.
At that time, Tang Kaitai came to the coffee shop to harass Ding Xiang in order to get in touch with Yang Yi. Guo Ziyi stepped forward bravely and punched Tang Kaitai to the ground.
"True feelings are like plum blossoms, which can't be drowned by the cold ice and snow. It blooms on the coldest branch, seeing spring coming to you and me …"
Ding Xiang listened to Yang Yi singing this song. What she thought in her heart was completely different from what the others in the coffee shop thought.
Although there were some signs, it was still very vague …
The feelings really began to brew at the beginning of this year.
Guo Ziyi began to lose weight. After he shamelessly pestered her, Ding Xiang also took "responsibility" for him. She helped him develop a weight loss plan, even accompanied him to Shanghai to film a movie and took care of his daily life.
It seemed that Ding Xiang was just doing what an agent and assistant should do. However, during this period of time, the two of them still had some sparks.
But these sparks were still unable to ignite the firewood of love.
Just as Guo Ziyi said to Yang Yi, he was worried that he wasn't strong enough to protect Ding Xiang in front of his family. Guo Ziyi didn't dare to take the most important step.
And Ding Xiang felt too inferior. She knew that Guo Ziyi came from a prominent family, but she also knew that she came from a humble background.
"The story of the prince and Cinderella only exists in fairy tales." This sentence was said by Yang Yi when he was chatting with someone. Ding Xiang couldn't remember where it came from. Perhaps she overheard it when she was delivering coffee, but it left a deep impression on her.
Although they could vaguely sense that the other party was interested in her, neither of them dared to act rashly. This dragged on for half a year.
In the corridor, Ding Xiang's mood dropped. When she heard Guo Ziyi clearly say that he liked the person who took care of him, Ding Xiang was so happy that she almost cried.
She suppressed her tumbling emotions and returned to the coffee shop. She looked up the information that Yang Huan found when she was browsing through the historical records.
Yes, Ding Xiang confirmed that she liked Guo Ziyi. She also knew that if she didn't bravely confess, they might miss each other forever …
Ding Xiang even looked up whether a girl's confession would be successful and how a girl would confess, etc …
…
However, Yang Huan didn't know that after looking up the information, Ding Xiang sat in front of the computer in a daze for a long time. In the end, she dragged a notebook into the computer's trash can. It was a list of her confessions experiences and common phrases she used to confess.
For half a year, she didn't have the courage to face this. Did Ding Xiang have the courage to face it now?
There was a difference between Ding Xiang and Yang Huan. Yang Huan was emotional and straightforward, but Ding Xiang was rational. After she calmed down, she started to worry that her impulsiveness would bring trouble to Guo Ziyi.
Even though she knew that Guo Ziyi liked her, even though Guo Ziyi's words when he rejected Xue Baolin made Ding Xiang believe that Guo Ziyi was the one she loved! However, she also knew that there was a fatal gap between them that couldn't be crossed …
Otherwise, why didn't Guo Ziyi confess to her?
Liking someone was presumptuous, but love was restraint.
For his sake, she also needed to restrain herself.
After Ding Xiang thought it through, she felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.
The courage that she had accumulated was also destroyed by her rationality.
…
In the past two days, no one could tell that Ding Xiang was hiding her sadness amidst everyone's laughter.
However, after being sad, she still had to continue living, right?
