When Luo Lian returned home, she was in a very low mood. You can tell it at a glance, even Luo Qianqian noticed it.
Qian Wenshi walked towards Luo Qianqian carrying the washed fruits, "What's wrong with your brother?"
Luo Qianqian shook her head: "I don't know, he looked like that as soon as he walked in."
Qian Wenshi looked thoughtful, "Hurry up and eat the fruit, then go upstairs and do the questions. I have to hurry up recently, the college entrance examination will be held soon."
"Yeah, yeah."
Upstairs, Luo Lian returned to his room and locked himself in the room.
Being rejected by Gu Ziyi was expected, but his current mood was not something he could prepare for. Everything Gu Ziyi said was reasonable and Luo Lian could understand it because of Gu Ziyi's starting point.
But he really couldn't bear the feeling of being rejected.
It's like the only thing he thought he could have has been deprived of his rights.
He regretted it, more than ever.
If they hadn't broken up, maybe... maybe...
Maybe not maybe.
He is not irrational, nor sane, nor immature. It's just that he still has a little hope.
Of course, Luo Lian had no intention of giving up. As long as Gu Ziyi doesn't get married, even if she has a boyfriend, it doesn't matter if he becomes a mistress.
He couldn't convince himself to give up Gu Ziyi.
In his life, he had loved someone so seriously.
This is what he has been thinking about for the past five years...
Luo Lian lay on the bed and raised his hands to cover his eyes. He didn't make a sound, even the sobs in his throat were suppressed by him.
Only he knew the wetness he felt in his palms.

Gu Ziyi returned home and went straight upstairs without even saying hello to Ji Tong.
"Eh? Miss, what's wrong?" Aunt Zhang was a little worried.
Ji Tong didn't know either. Gu Ziyi was fine when she went out in the morning. Didn't you go to the photo studio with Tan Han and his family to take wedding photos today
Ji Tong took out his cell phone and called Tan Han.
Tan Han answered the phone very quickly, "Why did you suddenly remember to call me?"
"Is everything going well for you today?" Ji Tong asked.
Tan Han smiled: "It went very well. What could be wrong with taking a photo?"
Ji Tong frowned, "Then Sister Gu is back, why does her face look a little ugly? Is it true that nothing happened to you today?"
Tan Han was silent for a moment, "I don't know. During the trip, Gu Ziyi was taken away by her ex-boyfriend and never came back. Is she okay?"
"Ex-boyfriend?"
Tan Han: "My name is Luo Lian, do you know him?"
The worry on Ji Tong's face continued, "I don't know you. I won't tell you anymore. I'll go upstairs to see Sister Gu."
"Make sure she's okay and tell me." Tan Han quickly added.
"Um."
Then Ji Tong hung up the phone. She first went to the kitchen to get two bottles of drinks, then went upstairs and knocked on Gu Ziyi's door. "Sister Gu, I brought you a drink."
There was no sound from inside the door.
"Sister Gu?" Ji Tong knocked on the door again.
"… come in."
Ji Tong opened the door. There was no light in the room and it was dark. She saw Gu Ziyi's figure sitting beside the bed, and the moonlight outside fell on her through the window.
Ji Tong turned on the switch and the room lit up instantly.
Gu Ziyi didn't change her clothes, so she sat quietly by the bed, her head lowered, wondering what she was thinking.
Ji Tong looked at the drink in his hand and felt that it would be more appropriate to change it to wine. "Do you want a drink? I'll get it for you."
Gu Ziyi raised her head and said, "No, just a drink."
Ji Tong walked over, handed her the drink, and then sat next to her: "I heard from Brother Tan Han that you were with your ex-boyfriend today...?"
Gu Ziyi pulled the tab of the can and took a sip of the drink. "Um."
"Did something unpleasant happen? If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me about it." Ji Tong is not a particularly comforting person.
Gu Ziyi laughed: "There was no unpleasantness, no quarrels, no quarrels, no mention of the past."
There is no accusation of right or wrong.
"Then..." Ji Tong wanted to ask but couldn't say it.
Gu Ziyi glanced at her and knew that Ji Tong was worried about herself, "My condition is not that bad, you don't have to worry about me. I just... felt depressed for a moment. I can handle it myself."
Ji Tong nodded, "Then... I will go back to the room first and leave you alone for a while."
"Thanks."
Ji Tong left her room, but Gu Ziyi was still sitting in that position, not moving.
She took another sip of her drink.
The mood is good or bad.
After she rejected Luo Lian, the two sat in the car for a long time. Then Luo Lian opened the door and got out of the car. One person left first without saying anything else.
And she stayed there for a long time, until it got dark, and then she drove back home. When I first entered the house, I hadn't fully recovered from my emotions and felt uncomfortable.
But Gu Ziyi did not regret rejecting Luo Lian.
It was the right decision, nothing to regret. Her life should avoid entanglements with people from the past, so that it is better for both parties.
She didn't know how Luo Lian was feeling, nor what thoughts Luo Lian would have after listening to her words.
None of this should be taken into consideration.
She didn't believe that she would hold a heavy weight in Luo Lian's heart. If you refuse, just refuse.
Gu Ziyi let out a long sigh, and then took another sip of the drink. The drink is ice-cold and tastes very refreshing, which makes people feel better.
She took two or three more sips, then put the drink on the table and went to wash up.
After simply taking a shower, washing her face and brushing her teeth, she was not in the mood to do a facial mask. I changed into pajamas and lay on the bed. I felt like I should sleep but I didn't feel sleepy at all.
I stared at the window, and there was light coming in through the gaps in the curtains.
She just stared in a daze.
In fact, my head was empty, not as distracted as it was a while ago, but completely blank.
Just pure daze.
After a long while, she sighed. Then he turned over, lying on his back, and pulled up the quilt. Still not sleepy, still can't sleep.
Could it be that I have trouble sleeping tonight
Gu Ziyi pinched the bridge of her nose and seemed to sigh: "Gu Ziyi, Gu Ziyi..." She wanted to say something to herself, but she didn't say anything.
After a long time, she said to herself: "What you did today was right and what you said was right. Don't feel guilty about this. You are just responsible for yourself and Luo Lian."
"Relax and go to sleep. Good night, Gu Ziyi." It seems that when I was in junior high school, I would talk to myself alone and say good night to myself before going to bed.
She closed her eyes, finally feeling sleepy.
