What should I say? What's there to say? Or was it better to ask him if the news that had caused an uproar on the internet was true? Or should I wish him and Liang Doukou a happy marriage for a hundred years?
Regardless of whether I ask or wish him well, it's like pouring salt on a wounded heart.
Qin Zhi 'ai looked down to hide the gloom in her eyes. She remained silent.
Gu Yusheng waited for a while, but seeing that she had no intention of asking him anything, he said in a calm voice, "If you have nothing to say, I'm leaving."
This time, Qin Zhi 'ai responded with a "Okay."
Gu Yusheng didn't say goodbye. He stood still and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He took one out and put it in his mouth. When he was about to light it with a lighter, he turned his head and looked at Qin Zhi 'ai. "I'm really leaving."
Qin Zhi 'ai nodded and didn't say anything else.
Gu Yusheng lit the cigarette and took a puff. Through the lingering smoke, he looked at Qin Zhi 'ai again and walked away.
As he walked past her, she couldn't control a tear. It rolled down from the corner of her eye and fell on her fingertips.
She didn't dare to move, afraid that she would lose control of her emotions before he completely left.
She lowered her head and stood quietly in the distance for a very, very long time. It was so long that the sound of the wind and rain grew louder and louder that she raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face. She slowly turned in the direction of her home. She raised her head, but before she could take a step, her whole body froze in the distance.
Gu Yusheng, who she thought had already left, was quietly leaning against the pillar of the pavilion, smoking slowly with a cigarette between his fingers.
Behind him was the pitch-black night and the dense drizzle.
Didn't he leave?
Qin Zhi 'ai's slightly red eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Gu Yusheng, who had already known that she would turn around, gave her some time to digest her current emotions. Then he took the cigarette out of his mouth, still quietly leaning against the pillar, and said in a very calm tone, "Xiao 'ai, I left the first time because I didn't want to go. The second time, I left because I was waiting for you to ask me to stay."
Qin Zhi 'ai clearly felt as if her heart had been violently tickled by something. At first, it slowed down, but then it started to beat violently.
The pavilion once again fell into a silent emptiness.
Gu Yusheng brought the cigarette to his mouth and took another puff. After slowly blowing out smoke rings, he repeated the question he had asked earlier. "Xiao 'ai, do you really have nothing to say to me?"
At that moment, Qin Zhi 'ai understood what Gu Yusheng meant. He wanted her to ask him if he and Liang Doukou were really married.
It wasn't because she was stubborn, nor was it because she was afraid that the news was true... It was more because she didn't want him and his grandfather to have a disagreement because of her.
Gu Yusheng knew what she was thinking. He sighed and, as if he had to compromise, murmured, "Silly girl, you always think about me, but don't you think about yourself?"
His simple words made Qin Zhi 'ai's eyes suddenly turn red.
"Do you know how much it hurts me if you always do this to yourself?" Gu Yusheng stubbed out the cigarette, stood up, and walked toward Qin Zhi 'ai. When he was about a meter away from her, he stopped and looked directly into her misty eyes. After a while, he asked, "Do you still love me?"
