Gu Ziyi took two slow steps, thinking.
Luo Lian on the other end of the phone was also very patient, waiting for her to speak.
Gu Ziyi paced slowly, so... Dr. Chen didn't expose her, Jian Fan didn't expose her, but Zuo Yang did? Luo Lian is so smart, it will be easy to connect the two things together, and it will be easy for him to resurrect.
The temperature outside was still a little low, and the back of her hands soon turned red because of the cold.
"Must we meet?" Gu Ziyi asked.
"Yes, I want to tell you these things in person." Luo Lian answered quickly. "when are you free?"
"I... am free now." Gu Ziyi replied.
The other end of the phone became quiet and there was no sound. After a while, Luo Lian's voice was heard, "Where are you? Shall I go find you?"
Gu Ziyi looked around and reported the location of a hotel. Then she entered the restaurant with milk tea. Anyway, it’s almost time for dinner.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ziyi sent a message to Yiyi to report that she would not go back to eat at night.
She ordered a few dishes she wanted to eat, and then waited quietly for Luo Lian to come.
Almost half an hour later, all the dishes she ordered were ready, and Luo Lian also arrived.
Luo Lian looked like he was tired from all the travel, so he should be rushing over in a hurry. He was wearing very thin clothes, and because it was quite cold now, his nose and ears were red from the cold.
Gu Ziyi took the chopsticks and glanced at him lightly, "Let's eat together."
Just... very indifferent, not mixed with anything else.
Luo Lian pulled out the chair and sat down opposite Gu Ziyi. He was actually very anxious. Anxious to tell Gu Ziyi everything exactly. When he learned from Zuo Yang that he had visited Gu Ziyi, Luo Lian felt particularly nervous at that moment. After hearing Zuo Yang's words and Gu Ziyi's rejection, Luo Lian couldn't help but feel sad.
Moods soared and plummeted.
Gu Ziyi took a piece of fish, and she ordered a boiled fish fillet, a salad with three shredded shredded vegetables, a pine nut corn, and an ant on the tree.
The boiled fish fillet was a bit spicy, and she felt it was extremely spicy after eating it.
She didn't say anything, Luo Lian just looked at her, thinking about the words and how to say it.
Gu Ziyi took a spoon and poured a spoonful of pine nuts and corn into her bowl. She didn't raise her head and said to Luo Lian: "Do you want to eat first? Otherwise, we can talk after eating. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat for a while."
Luo Lian was silent and picked up the chopsticks.
A very silent meal.
Gu Ziyi was relaxed as never before and was not as embarrassed as before, probably because of her change in mentality.
Luo Lian's mind was not on eating, and he couldn't taste the food in his mouth. Even the spiciness of boiled fish fillets was an afterthought for him.
After eating, Gu Ziyi took out a piece of paper and wiped her mouth. Then I touched up my lipstick. She looked at Luo Lian and said, "Go ahead."
Luo Lian looked at her, "Actually, the reason why I broke up with you was to lie to you. I didn't joke with others or make a bet. I pursued you because I liked you." When he spoke, he was trembling slightly. .
Gu Ziyi looked at him, her eyes were very calm and calm.
This made Luo Lian even more uneasy. There were huge waves in his heart at this moment.
"My dad... He has always arranged my life. I will go to college, study finance, and study abroad. I didn't want to study abroad at that time. I thought it would be impossible if I went abroad. And I have always followed his instructions. After planning the first half of your life, you are like a doll. You can do whatever others tell you. I was tired of it and developed a resistance. I wanted to decide my own affairs, so I refused."
"Not long after I started to be with you, it was actually the time he arranged to go abroad. But it was delayed again and again. He usually doesn't care about me. He only gives orders and tells you what to do. As for the specifics, he He didn't care. He knew I didn't go abroad as planned, so he contacted me."
"I was actually very conflicted at that time. I had no financial income, and all my expenses and tuition fees were his money. I was actually a parasitic seed dependent on others."
At that time, he had no idea what the meaning of his existence was.
Contradictions, self-blame, all kinds of emotions.
"He knew I was in love, and he thought you influenced me. So he said... If I don't break up with you and go abroad, he doesn't guarantee what he will do to you. Maybe drop out of school, maybe something else. I admit that I I was very cowardly at that time, I was just a loser." Luo Lian laughed, completely mocking himself.
Gu Ziyi listened.
She didn't seem to hear Luo Lian express his true feelings from the bottom of his heart.
He always says things that are not true or false.
If she said it sincerely at this moment, it would make her a little...
"I have never investigated your identity, just like you don't know my family situation. So I don't know that your father is Gu Cheng, and I don't know that there is a Gu family behind you. In my eyes, you are just an ordinary person. s student."
Therefore, he believed that he was unable to protect Gu Ziyi, and Gu Ziyi was unable to protect herself.
"I actually know that my reason is very nonsense. It's also disgusting. You are joking about feelings. You must be very angry." Luo Lian looked at Gu Ziyi with a very focused look. "I thought you would ask me, but you... never asked me once. And I don't know how to ask."
The day we broke up was very simple.
No reason.
No entanglement.
No explanation.
No reason.
Like a joke, from beginning to end.
Gu Ziyi's character dictated it, so she didn't ask.
Luo Lian also didn't say anything because of his personality.
Strange isn't it? But this was how they spent so long together.
"What happened with Pei Yuan... I admit it was my fault. I didn't like her, but I took advantage of her. With the help of the Pei family, I became more stable in Mingsheng, and they gave me great convenience. The reason is that I I agreed to get engaged to Pei Yuan. In fact, I didn't plan to get engaged. I had prepared the corresponding transaction chips, which would not cause the Pei family to lose money. They were all prepared... But I didn't expect Pei Yuan He would do something like that that day. I have already dealt with Pei Yuan, and she will never appear in front of you again." Luo Lian's tone became a little faster as he spoke.
Gu Ziyi always looked at him with calm eyes, and her expression did not change.
This made Luo Lian feel unsure, panicked and extremely panicked. He felt... he was about to lose Gu Ziyi forever.
"I didn't lie to you this time, everything I said was true." Luo Lian tried his best to explain himself, trying to prove his innocence.
