Chapter 69: Confession One
I stood in front of Li Yang with my lips bitten, stubbornly looking at him, tightly grasping the jade pendant in my hand, but was pierced by the intricate patterns on it and felt a sharp pain.
Li Yang looked at me for half a moment and sighed: "Gu Qing, girls shouldn't be so overbearing."
I think if it were Gu Chen or Gu Liu Yi standing in front of me right now, they would never say something like that. But back then, Li Yang also said that if you don't want to be bullied, you have to become stronger. Now he's telling me with a smile, girls shouldn't be too strong-willed.
It's you who makes me stronger, and it's also you who stops me from being too overbearing.
"What do you think I should do?" I looked at him and asked, "If it were you, wouldn't you just give them the jade pendant and be done with it, smiling and in a good mood?"
Li Yang's smile on his face stiffened, his complexion somewhat unsightly, and he replied in a hoarse voice: "I didn't mean that."
"Yes, you didn't mean it." I felt inexplicably disappointed, yet couldn't figure out what I was disappointed about.
Li Yang still hasn't remembered, has he? He can't recall that many years ago, a nearly obsessive girl burst into his world, covered in scars. Despite her disheveled state, he treated her with such tenderness. Why is it that you just can't remember?
I opened my mouth to question, but ultimately couldn't say anything. I was too proud and didn't want to admit that I had secretly liked a boy for so many years, because I'm Gu Jing, and I never knew how to get close.
They all say that love at first sight is the most superficial emotion in this world, but I have been thinking of a boy for so many years. I remember his voice, the temperature of his palm when he pulled me out of the endless abyss, and even every detail that can be remembered.
"Gu Qian, I know you're actually very lonely." Li Yang's eyes finally softened, he was a boy who was too easy to be softhearted, from head to toe, the words "kind-hearted" had always been his Achilles' heel.
"How could it be." I averted my gaze, wandering aimlessly, unable to bear Li Yang's sympathetic eyes. I turned my back on him, adjusting my tone, trying to appear arrogant and haughty.
"I'm the eldest sister of the Gu family, do you know the Gu family? It's that very powerful Gu family - the chairman of the Gu Group, Gu Liu Yi, is my brother, and the one who dominates the underworld, Gu Chen, is my younger brother. Even I myself have become a big shot at A University, how can I still be lonely?" Having all these things, can you still say you're lonely?
"But you don't have family, friendship - or even a passionate love." Li Yang followed behind me, his tone slightly urgent, and if I turned around, I would see the pain in his eyes, but unfortunately, I didn't have that courage.
I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, and in the face of Li Yang's tenderness, I'll lose all my defenses and become utterly disheveled. The only thing I can do is escape.
I have no way to refute what Lai Yang said, from a young age I never received love from my parents, and had a falling out with Ning Jing, then there was the boy I liked, who never knew of my feelings from start to finish.
Actually I really had nothing, what I had was just a lonely and arrogant recklessness.
"Gu Qian!" Li Yang quickened his pace and walked to my side, seeing my dazed profile in the moonlight. He grabbed my arm, forcing me to look at him, and under the gentle moonlight, he said word by word: "Gu Qian, let's try being together?"
I was stunned and didn't dare believe that these words came out of Li Yang's mouth. I foolishly asked, "What does this mean?"
Li Yang smiled and reached out his hand to pat my head, with a serious look in his eyes. "I said, we're together. I said, Gu Qing, I like you."
