Su Yan felt a slight tremor in his heart as he watched Gu Luoxi's actions.

He once again felt that feeling that he disliked very much from her.

There was a feeling that something was leaving him, and he felt helpless about it. He hated this feeling of being out of control, which made him feel frustrated.

He desperately wanted to get rid of this feeling, but he didn't know where it came from.

He looked up at Gu Luoqi, whose face showed some annoyance. So... was this feeling because of her?

But... he used to really dislike it.

However, it seems like he hasn't seen her in a long time, and she looks to be in pretty good shape.

His friends all said that she was playing hard to get, and that she might come knocking on his door again at any time.

That was true before, but this time she didn't come looking for him at all.

When he saw her this time, he couldn't quite explain his feelings.

He might be having trouble adjusting to her change. After all, they practically grew up together, and it would be strange if someone who always followed him around suddenly stopped.

Even his mother noticed the conflict between the two and made him apologize.

But in his mind, he didn't seem to have done anything wrong, so why should he apologize?

A boy next to him noticed his pause and gave him a playful look. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Su Yan slowly came to his senses, but subtly avoided being touched by the person next to him.

He walked towards her as if possessed, saying, "Long time no see."

Gu Luoqi raised her eyes and took a deep look at the handsome young man in front of her, who had been very good-looking since childhood. Then she smiled with a slightly distant but just-right smile. "Yes, it has indeed been a long time."

Looking at her smile, Su Yan suddenly thought she looked quite pretty when she smiled, but he didn't really like her somewhat unfamiliar expression and tone.

But as if remembering something, his voice softened a bit, "My mom said she misses you and wants you to come over to visit sometime."

Considering her recent aloofness, he did not adopt a harsh attitude.

Gu Luoxi also noticed his change. Coming from Su Yan's mouth, especially to her, these words were already considered kind.

She wasn't the kind of person who didn't know what was good for her, and even if she had given up something now, she couldn't just abandon her feelings for Su Yan's mother as well.

Although Su Yan is a bit of a jerk, his mother is a good person.

Su Yan's mother and her mother were best friends when they were young, and they even made a pact that they would buy houses together in the future.

The two of them did indeed become neighbors as they had wished, but the mother passed away not long after.

Even though her mother passed away when she was very young, her aunt always treated her very well.

She believed that her aunt and mother had a very good relationship because she often felt that her aunt was looking at someone through her, and she knew that her aunt was missing her mother.

Sometimes her aunt was even more attentive to her than her own father was to her. Because her mother passed away too early, her father was inevitably overwhelmed when raising her and didn't know how to do many things. It was her aunt who was always there to guide him.

It's fair to say that her aunt deserves a lot of credit for her growing up happily and healthily.

Even after they moved to their current home, her aunt's kindness to her didn't diminish in the slightest, so she often went to their house to play.

Even though her memories of her mother were vague, and she couldn't even remember her, she felt that same warmth from her aunt countless times, just like she felt from her mother.

Even though her father treats her very well and makes her feel like she's not lacking anything compared to other children, she often misses the feeling that her aunt gives her.
