Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Yusheng had never thought he would fall in love with someone, and he had never fallen in love with anyone, either. He froze and didn’t know how to handle it when he encountered love.
He knew he had much to tell her, yet when he opened his mouth, nothing came out of his mouth. He was upset and looked up at the dark sky. He went quiet for a while and asked a question that had bothered him. “Do you really think of that guy as just your little brother?”
“Yes,” Qin Zhi’ai responded without any hesitation and a nod.
She didn’t think he was her little brother. In actuality, he was her little brother. The only problem was that she couldn’t tell him that.
Qin Zhi’ai was worried that night with Qin Jiayan would cause trouble for Gu Yusheng and Liang Doukou’s marriage. She immediately explained, “I’ve known him for many years and treat him like my little brother, no different than my real little brother. I never thought of anything romantic with him. Most times, I forget I should keep my distance from him.”
Qin Zhi’ai was worried that Gu Yusheng would not believe her. After the long explanation, she continued, “I couldn’t accept any guy younger than me anyway. I don’t see any guy younger than me as more than a friend.”
“Never thought of anything romantic with him” and “don’t see him as more than a friend.” Qin Zhi’ai seemed to be so sure what she was talking about. It sounded cruel, but perfect to Gu Yusheng.
He couldn’t help turning around and laughing at her serious look.
Qin Zhi’ai only remembered Gu Yusheng’s weak smiles, sneers, and snorts. He had never smiled so sincerely.
The look on his face was stress-free. He looked soft and gave off the vibe a gentleman should have.
Such a sincere smile had come out of nowhere. Qin Zhi’ai didn’t know how to react to it. She looked at Gu Yusheng’s gorgeous smiling face and swallowed down what she tried to say.
It became a little too quiet.
Gu Yusheng wore a smile on his face while Qin Zhi’ai zoned out. They looked at each other for a long time. He didn’t regain his composure until the water on the tree was blown by the wind and dropped onto his forehead. The smile on his face gradually disappeared as he turned around to look at a streetlight not too far from him.
He wasn’t sure if it was because she had tried so hard to explain that she wasn’t having an affair with that guy, but his bad mood became much better. He even sounded relaxed. “Whatever happened that day, let’s let it go.”
‘Let it go?’ Does that mean we’re going to pretend nothing happened and not talk about it anymore? Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself. It was just what Qin Zhi’ai had hoped for. She immediately nodded and responded with a smile. “Okay.”
Her reaction was quick, so quick that it made Gu Yusheng smile again. After that smile, he suddenly looked sad again. After two seconds, he suddenly asked, “Do you think I’m an *sshole?”
Hearing this question out of nowhere, Qin Zhi’ai was confused for a second. “Huh?” she muttered first, then slightly shook her head after seeing no attempt from him to explain his question.
She must think I’m a jerk. I’ve done so many cruel things to her, Gu Yusheng thought to himself.
