Song Yiyi was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Well, brother, someone spread it on purpose, right?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Chengze's eyes.

He chuckled softly, "Yes."

Song Yiyi put down the water cup, held her chin with both hands and thought for a while, then said, "It was passed down by Cen Bowen's mother."

Gu Chengze's smile widened, "Yiyi, you are smarter than I thought."

The sound of cooking could be heard from the kitchen not far away.

"If I'm not mistaken, this isn't just revenge. It's related to you, or even Uncle Gu?"

Thinking that there was no one else here, Song Yiyi made a bold guess, "To attack you is to attack Uncle Gu?"

Gu Chengze's eyes lit up.

He nodded quickly and explained the whole story to Song Yiyi.

That day, Cen Anguo mentioned twice that Song Yiyi was not Gu Chengze's biological sister.

At his level, every word he says has meaning.

No matter how stupid Cen's mother was, she had lived in the Cen family for nearly thirty years, so she would naturally put more thought into Cen Anguo's words.

Cen's mother is a pawn of Cen Anguo, and he wants to use Cen's mother to spread the news.

Gu Heng and Cen Anguo are competitors.

There is a rumor that Gu Heng is going to be promoted.

Whatever Cen Anguo does at this time is perfectly normal.

Including Cen Anguo's special visit to the military region for Cen Bowen's matter. It seems that he loves his grandson, but in fact he is just protecting his own interests.

If his reputation is damaged, it means that others have something on him, which will naturally affect his promotion.

This is also the reason why he insisted on whipping Cen Yue.

He believed that Cen Yue should protect the Cen family instead of being an outsider, especially at such a critical moment.

He felt that Cen Yue had not learned anything he had taught him, so he was angry.

Seeing Gu Chengze defending Song Yiyi so much, Cen Anguo had an idea in his mind.

After listening to this, Song Yiyi asked, "Is there any way to solve this problem?"

Gu Chengze paused holding the cup.

Actually, there was. Before he went to find his sister, Cen Yue proposed a foolproof plan.

But Gu Cheng refused.

For him, sacrificing Song Yiyi would be worse than ending his official career.

Before he came, he said to Cen Yue, "Old Cen, since things have developed to this point, I don't plan to hide it anymore. I plan to confess to Yiyi."

Gu Cheng wanted to explain his feelings to Song Yiyi.

If she wants, it doesn't matter if she takes off this dress.

If she didn't want to, he would try his best to arrange it for her wherever she wanted to go.

In short, he would not let Song Yiyi be involved in this dispute for no reason, and he would not use Song Yiyi to exchange for the so-called future.

As for Gu Heng, he couldn't care less and never thought about it.

At that time, Cen Yue only glanced at him indifferently and said, "As long as you don't regret it, that's fine."

So Gu Cheng went to find Song Yiyi.

Unexpectedly, she also came to the military region.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. Gu Cheng tightened his grip on the water cup again and again.

He opened his mouth several times but no sound came out.

Song Yiyi thought he wanted to send her back, so she smiled and said, "Brother, it's okay. It was me who caused this trouble. If I hadn't come, you wouldn't have to worry so much."

If she hadn't traveled through the book and changed the original plot, the subsequent series of events would not have happened.

But Song Yiyi does not regret the choice she made.

She couldn't possibly compromise herself for anyone.

She thought for a moment and then said, "But sending me back doesn't seem to stop the rumors."

Once Song Yiyi left, it proved that she and Gu Chengze were guilty, and it became even more difficult to explain.

Song Yiyi looked at Gu Chengze and found that he had a serious expression.

"Brother, you look like you're going to war?"

Song Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled, thinking he was just too concerned about his reputation. She consoled him, "Ah, it's already happened. We just need to find a way to resolve it. Don't be too nervous. We have a clear conscience anyway, so if others say anything, we can just curse back."

Gu Chengze stared at her steadily, his Adam's apple sliding up and down, and he slowly spoke: "Yiyi, what if I feel guilty?"

The wind picked up outside, bringing with it the rustling of leaves.

Song Yiyi was confused for a moment.

What did she...hear?

Gu Cheng looked at her seriously, with an extremely gentle look in his eyes.

Song Yiyi reacted quickly.

It turned out that the original owner and Gu Cheng were running in two directions.

But why is it not written in the book?

Song Yiyi quickly flipped through her memory and recalled the phone call the original owner made to Gu Chengze before joining the army.

That time, she asked Gu Chengze: "Brother, I want to date Cen Bowen. What do you think, is it okay?"

She wasn't asking if Cen Bowen was suitable.

She was asking if she could date another man.

As a woman in this era, the original owner was already brave enough.

However, Gu Cheng didn't understand the implication of her words.

Later, when the original owner came to the compound, he was looking forward to seeing Gu Chengze from time to time.

The original owner in the book married Cen Bowen, perhaps because she felt that it was impossible for her and Gu Chengze to be together, and she was heartbroken.

Seeing Song Yiyi's long silence, Gu Chengze's heart seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss, and he felt like he was falling continuously.

"Yiyi, are you..."

"Brother!" Song Yiyi quickly interrupted Gu Chengze, "Don't worry, there will definitely be another solution to this problem."

Song Yiyi knew what Gu Chengze wanted to say.

But she couldn't let him go on.

First of all, she is not the original owner. She only has brotherly feelings towards Gu Chengze, and this is based on inheriting the original owner's memories.

Secondly, what is the difference between Gu Chengze's behavior and courting disaster?

Under the current circumstances, if they were together, Gu Chengze would definitely have to take off his clothes, which would probably affect Gu Heng as well.

Even Song Minghui and Cai Mengjun would be drowned in spit.

Song Yiyi analyzed the situation calmly and felt that Gu Chengze's behavior was as detonating as the earth.

The most important thing is that she doesn't like Gu Chengze, and she can't give him any response.

By then, Gu Chengze will be really finished.

Gu Chengze is finished, and her good days are over.

"Brother, I'm hungry. I'll go see if the meal is ready."

Song Yiyi stood up hurriedly, "Yes, I'll go help light the fire!"

Gu Chengze looked at Song Yiyi's fleeing figure, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Even though he had known this would be the outcome, even though he had rehearsed it in his mind a thousand and ten thousand times, even though he had convinced himself countless times.

At this moment, he still felt so painful that he couldn't breathe.

Gu Chengze inexplicably thought of the mountain flood that year. He found Song Yiyi who was dying. When he carried her down the mountain, she hugged his neck.

At that time, her breathing was weak, her cold little face pressed against his neck, and she still smiled: "Brother, it really is you. Gu Chengze, it's great to still see you."

Gu Chengze finally couldn't hold it anymore and raised his hands to cover his eyes.
