Luo Lian quickly sent a WeChat red envelope to Gu Ziyi. The amount in it was of course much more than the price of the meal.
Gu Ziyi saw it after she received the red envelope. She put down her phone, crossed her arms and looked at Luo Lian, "Do you particularly like giving money to others?"
The previous cooperation between Gu and Ming Sheng was the same.
No matter how it looked, it was Gu who took advantage. Luo Lian was like a boy who wanted to give away all his money to Gu Ziyi.
Luo Lian also put down his phone, smiled softly, and said, "After all, I owe you a little more."
Just such a sentence made Gu Ziyi feel that the previous ties could not be broken off.
She lowered her eyes and took a few seconds to calm herself down. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were still light and without any extra emotion, "Just forget about the past, it's been so many years. You don't owe me anything, and similarly, I don't owe you anything."
This was what Luo Lian least expected to hear.
Clear the relationship.
It seems that the two people have no intersection at all, they are two irrelevant parallel lines, on the same plane, with no possibility of intersecting.
He likes to be involved with her, even a little bit, even if it's not the feeling he likes, even if she hates her, even if she hates her...
At least it proved that he still existed in her heart.
Gu Ziyi had no idea what kind of sharp blade these understatement words would pierce into Luo Lian's heart.
She also has no idea how much Luo Lian has gone through since they first met five years ago, and how he has become so bruised and bruised.
People don't understand each other's feelings.
They did not go through exactly the same life journey.
The brief interaction before seemed to disappear in Gu Ziyi's words, leaving no trace. At least that's what Luo Lian understood from these words.
Gu Ziyi picked up the teacup, she couldn't stand Luo Lian's eyes. The moment she said those words, she felt something was torn in Luo Lian's eyes. She didn't want to think about this, she didn't want... didn't want... to have any intersection again.
Luo Lian is too dangerous.
She didn't even know when he was telling the truth and when he was lying.
Those five months of sweet words and happy times spent together. It was just a joke, and he was the best actor and she was the stupidest audience member.
She is really afraid.
The self-esteem she had finally picked up was not something she wanted to lose just like that.
If she foolishly hits this southern wall again, she can't guarantee that she will be able to escape unscathed.
She's afraid...
The silence didn't last long, and the waiter brought their orders.
Gu Ziyi picked up the chopsticks, lowered her head and ate the noodles, trying to avoid making eye contact with Luo Lian.
Luo Lian didn't move and looked at the top of Gu Ziyi's hair quietly.
After all, being looked at so directly, Gu Ziyi couldn't pretend for long, no matter how hard she tried. She gritted her teeth and raised her head, "Let's eat. It will get cold soon."
Because she spoke, Luo Lian picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
Both of them ate very absentmindedly, eating mechanically, just stuffing things into their mouths, and they couldn't taste whether the food was delicious or not, because their minds were not on the food.
Therefore, they didn't eat much either. The mood is too complicated and there are too many things on my mind, which affects my appetite.
Therefore, their meal time is greatly reduced.
Not long after, Gu Ziyi stopped her chopsticks.
Luo Lian also stopped his chopsticks. In fact, the portions of the dine-in meals were not large, and the two things each ordered were their normal portions. At this moment, at least half of the things on the table were left.
"Are you going to work this afternoon?" Luo Lian asked her.
Gu Ziyi shook her head, "I'm not going to work." The Gu family has been relatively stable recently, but she guessed there would be some big news soon. So she deliberately took the opportunity to skip work several times, deliberately making them feel that she was an incompetent boss with limited abilities. Just waiting for someone to start attacking first, she took the opportunity to take action.
Luo Lian said: "Let's go shopping nearby. It's a rare opportunity to meet and chat."
Gu Ziyi's eyelashes trembled, wanting to refuse but not wanting to. Luo Lian always wavers when he meets her. Finally, she nodded.
The two of them came out of the Korean restaurant. The weather was quite good today and the breeze was blowing, making them very comfortable. The air quality in big cities is not very good. It is rare that the sky is blue and the clouds are white today, and the air is clean.
The two of them didn't go too far, so they just walked along this street aimlessly.
Luo Lian is much taller than Gu Ziyi, and Gu Ziyi is just at his shoulders. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is eye-catching, but in this era, handsome men and beautiful women are all mass-produced, so they do not attract too much attention.
The two of them walked slowly and leisurely. Gu Ziyi saw a milk tea shop in front of the store. The variety show "I Like You Occasionally" was playing on the display screen in front of the store, and she saw Lin Yuxi's face in it.
She stopped and decided to buy a cup of milk tea and watch TV.
She looked back at Luo Lian, "Do you want it?"
"I can do it." Luo Lian smiled.
Gu Ziyi thought that the red envelope Luo Lianfa just received was big enough, so it would be okay for her to buy an extra cup of milk tea. Then she ordered two cups of the same milk tea, and Luo Lian said, "He can do either." Then go to another window and queue quietly aside.
She looked at the program on the screen and began to complain in her heart. There were three groups of guests. The other two groups were sweetly in love. Only Lin Yuxi and He Shujing looked like the retired life of a veteran cadre. She spent money to invest in this show!
It doesn't matter whether she makes money or not. Gu Ziyi hopes that Lin Yuxi can get to know more strangers and overcome her inner fear.
Gu Ziyi looked at the display screen with her back to Luo Lian.
Luo Lian's eyes were on Gu Ziyi from beginning to end, and she was the only one in his eyes. Of the people coming and going around him, no one could fall into his eyes.
Luo Lian likes to look at Gu Ziyi and likes to keep Gu Ziyi within his reach.
He likes Gu Ziyi.
Maybe... "love" is the right word to describe it now.
Whether it was five years ago or five years from now.
In fact, Luo Lian has never changed his feelings for Gu Ziyi. No, that's not accurate. Maybe after experiencing the separation, this feeling became stronger and became a little cinnabar in his heart.
He never thought about giving up Gu Ziyi.
It is too difficult for Luo Lian to give up. Maybe he is a little paranoid. He hopes to get everything he likes. Because he has very little.
In the past, I would hope that God would be merciful, but now I understand... Everything you want must be obtained by yourself. Waiting for God to open your eyes is probably an impossible event, and the probability is zero.
