“…???”
Gu Jianian's brain really froze for a while.
She likes Chi Yan, what does this have to do with He Jitong
Does He Jitong have someone he likes? How many years has he liked her? What does it have to do with her
After a few seconds, she gradually came to her senses.
Start to recall.
She wrote in the memo: "We went to the morning market together today, ate wontons together, and ate the same ice cream together. I will invite him to attend my coming-of-age ceremony later."
Chi Yan wouldn't mistake this "he" for He Jitong, right
"… "
Gu Jianian didn't know whether to be glad or sad. She was glad that he didn't find out that she had a crush on him, but she was sad... How did he skip over himself and decide that she liked He Jitong
And the allegation cannot be refuted.
Because there are only two possibilities in this sentence, overturning one means acknowledging the other.
Gu Jianian bit his lip, his face turning red and blue, and his unpredictable expression made Chi Yan reflect for a rare time.
He didn't say it too harshly.
After all, she is just a child.
Although he couldn't fully understand the feeling of secret love, he roughly knew that adolescent children were the most sensitive.
What’s more, this girl is Gu Jianian, who could hold back her tears even when she was getting stitches without anesthesia.
Strong and sensitive.
He stretched out his hand hesitantly, and for the first time in his life, he made a soothing gesture—he patted Gu Jianian's shoulder.
Then he turned his head and said patiently, "It's normal to feel sad. You don't have to hold back your tears. I won't watch it."
"… "
Gu Jianian wanted to cry, but he had no tears.
She already knew that Chi Yan was just looking after her as a neighbor's child, and his reaction and attitude at this moment made her even more certain of this.
He was just kindly reminding her as a neighbor's brother and He Jitong's cousin, hoping that she would cut her losses in time before she got too deeply involved.
As for who she had a crush on or who she liked, he didn't care at all.
Gu Jianian pursed his lips and pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly: "I'm not sad, and I don't want to cry."
He added with a dull face: "I just wrote it randomly."
Chi Yan turned around and said "hmm" after hearing that.
But the tone seemed to be just to please her.
He definitely doesn't believe it.
If it were her, she wouldn't believe it either.
Gu Jianian exhaled slowly and forced himself to say, "Even if...even if I like you a little bit now, I may not like you anymore soon. I change my mind very quickly."
"You don't have to worry about me. Anyway, thank you."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, her shoulders slumped completely, her head buried low, her eyes staring at the ground beneath her feet.
Chi Yan's gaze stayed on her face for a long time. Looking at her drooping shoulders and her pretended indifference, he suddenly felt a little stupid.
Did he overdo it
After a long while, he said, "Okay."
While the two were silent, He Jitong came out of the main room and walked to the car.
He felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
