"But..." He smiled, feeling helpless, "Some things are unavoidable. How can I prevent myself from liking you?"
"I can't do much, and I can't make myself do nothing. I'm just a bystander watching you choose another man in the future. I like you in my heart, so I inevitably want to get in touch with you. , want to meet you, want to talk to you, want to be close to you."
Luo Lian spoke for a long time.
Gu Ziyi couldn't confirm whether he was sincere or not. But... Luo Lian's eyes were sincere, and it didn't look like he was lying to her. But Gu Ziyi would not be gullible.
She avoided eye contact with Luo Lian, her emotions in her heart unclear.
"Gu Ziyi, do you think... what should I do to impress you? Or..." Luo Lian couldn't continue.
The second half of the sentence is: Or you never planned to choose me from the beginning.
Then everything he does is in vain.
Whether he did more or less, Gu Ziyi wouldn't even look at it twice.
silence.
There was a long silence.
Gu Ziyi felt a little achy with her eyes open. She blinked her eyelashes, then raised her eyes to look at Luo Lian, "You are not going to let yourself go, and you are not going to let me go?"
Luo Lian was speechless.
"I actually don't know what the relationship between the two of us is now. Friends? Not really. Not even lovers. Lovers... used to be." Gu Ziyi felt that it wouldn't be good to drag it out like this. Cutting the mess with a quick knife? She said some harsh words to end the relationship.
"Luo Lian, I don't know if my expression all along is clear. I really don't want to choose my future husband from my ex-boyfriend. I think...since we broke up in the last relationship, it proves that we are not suitable for each other. The relationship is over. I can't get back together with my ex-boyfriend, fall in love again, or have feelings for each other again." Because I have already experienced it once. If she agrees, what will the grievances she suffered before count? She is not a bitch, she has to have self-respect.
It was at this time that Gu Ziyi suddenly understood what he had been struggling with.
It's true that she likes Luo Lian.
She wanted to save her face even more, and she wanted not to shatter her self-esteem.
Luo Lian was a person who had hurt her.
Luo Lian didn't leave any room for her in her last relationship, nor did she save face for me.
Due to emotion and reason, Gu Ziyi would not agree to him.
Even though she likes her in her heart, the simple love is not enough to dominate Gu Ziyi's decision.
After figuring it out, Gu Ziyi suddenly stopped worrying. Even if others say she is hard-hearted or cold-blooded. She really shouldn't have more involvement with Luo Lian.
Luo Lian was silent.
Very silent.
His thin lips pursed into a straight line.
Gu Ziyi's eyes did not dodge, "My position has been made very clear."
She would choose anyone.
Wouldn't choose Luo Lian.
In the final analysis, Luo Lian asked for it.
Luo Lian blinked his eyelashes, as if he had just come back to his senses. He finally spoke: "If I say I'm sorry for the past, will you forgive me?"
Gu Ziyi kept saying to let the past go. In fact, she was the one who had the most trouble. What happened in the past was like a thorn in her heart. It's so deep that it can't be pulled out. It is impossible to pull out this thorn without damaging the muscles and bones.
Gu Ziyi sighed inwardly and looked at Luo Lian.
The two people's eyes met and neither of them looked away.
"No." Gu Ziyi answered simply.
Maybe I shouldn't have met this time.
When we don't meet, there is room for conversation.
After meeting, Gu Ziyi became more determined in her thoughts.
Luo Lian will only lose completely.
Gu Ziyi sentenced him to death.
It seems that his south wall will not be smashed, he will only be killed in front of the south wall.
How sad.
Gu Ziyi looked at Luo Lian, and saw that his eyes were cracked with calmness, and his emotions poured out in an instant, all in those eyes.
She saw it.
Luo Lian couldn't keep calm. He really couldn't control his expression or the emotions in his eyes at the moment. His heart was trembling.
His hands were under the table, on his knees. Even the fingertips were trembling at this moment.
It was the first time that Gu Ziyi saw Luo Lian with such a hurt expression. But she didn't pity Luo Lian at all. "Look, even if you keep pestering me again and again, I won't change anything. Just give up on me."
This is good for you and me.
You give up on me and stay away from me.
I will gradually stop thinking about you.
You give up on me and stay away from me.
I will gradually no longer need your presence.
You give up on me and stay away from me.
I will also gradually stop thinking about your past.
…
So, give up.
This is good for each other.
Luo Lian stared into her eyes, "Just think that I'm still evil. I won't give up until you get married."
Gu Ziyi frowned, "You won't give up until I get married? Then I can fall in love normally, and I will have a boyfriend."
"I don't mind being your mistress."
Gu Ziyi really didn't expect Luo Lian to say such things.
What Luo Lian said next was even more shocking.
"Even if you get married, I may not give up."
Gu Ziyi: "..." She felt her heart ached at the moment.
Angry.
"Luo Lian, are you naive? You can actually say such a thing?" Gu Ziyi really didn't expect Luo Lian to say such a thing. What does he want to do? Be her mistress? As her cheating partner? Nonsence! What the hell.
She is not in love yet, nor is she married. Then you really fell in love and got married. Luo Lian is still so entangled, the one who is embarrassed is Gu Ziyi.
Gu Ziyi took a deep breath to calm down her mood, "You should know how to deal with the relationship between people."
Of course Luo Lian knew. He is also a businessman. How could he not understand or not know how to deal with interpersonal relationships? He might even be better at it than others.
"You have overstepped your bounds now." Gu Ziyi looked into Luo Lian's eyes and said every word.
Gu Ziyi didn't like the feeling of being forced. It was like a jackal, tiger or leopard chasing her.
Luo Lian was forcing her step by step.
One step after another, never retreat, never slow down.
Gu Ziyi felt that the relationship between the two of them might be a big mistake. She has nothing that Luo Lian should never forget, and similarly, Luo Lian has nothing that she should never forget.
As long as they return to being ordinary people who don't know each other, maybe all their troubles will be solved.
But…
Can you go back
Gu Ziyi thinks about it, does Luo Lian think about it
I'm afraid that this kind of relationship will continue to be entangled endlessly.
