Chapter 126 Jian Yao, I like you

"I fell in love with my wife at first sight."

There was silence in the room for a moment.

Jian Yao sat there blankly, her hand holding the chopsticks slightly tightened, her heart beating violently.

Her eyes fell on Gu Zhiyan's face, as if trying to tell whether he was joking or serious.

After all, the number of interactions she and Gu Zhiyan had during their seven years in high school and college could be counted on one hand.

She took a deep breath and was more inclined to believe that Gu Zhiyan said this on purpose to save her face in front of his classmates.

The other students were also a little skeptical.

Love at first sight may seem romantic to others, but they were already classmates in high school!

This answer is neither credible nor too broad.

It sounds like it was just a casual remark.

They had an expression of "as expected" on their faces and looked at Jian Yao with a bit of sympathy.

Gu Zhiyan only took a glance and knew what they were thinking.

He didn't care about other people's opinions, but he didn't want Jian Yao to have wild thoughts, so he added another sentence.

"In the alley on the day of the high school sports meet. For more details, you can search the truth or dare video released by Yaoguang officials a while ago."

Jian Yao suddenly raised her head and looked at him.

Others have already taken out their phones and started browsing videos on Weibo.

In fact, they have already read all the trending searches about Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao.

But when I watched it before, I never thought that there was real love between the two.

Now, when I watch the video again with a different mindset, my mood is completely different.

"During the first-year high school sports meet? I remember that Mr. Gu was not in our class at first, right? He transferred to our class after the sports meet."

"Now that you put it that way, it seems so."

The man sitting next to Gu Zhiyan was holding a mobile phone. The video was still playing, but he had no interest in watching it anymore.

He mentally calculated the time when he was beaten, and it seemed to be after the sports meet in his first year of high school.

At that time, the first semester of the first year of high school had just passed the middle, and Jian Yao, a transfer student with a strange background, was almost the topic of discussion among the students in the entire grade.

The girls were concerned about whether the Jian sisters would become enemies, while the boys focused more on Jian Yao's face and proud figure.

It is normal for adolescent boys to have some dirty talk with their close friends in private.

It happened that time that Gu Zhiyan caught her in the bathroom.

He couldn't remember how the fight started, but he remembered that Gu Zhiyan was particularly ruthless that day and warned them in a low voice that if they dared to talk nonsense again, he would beat them up every time he saw them.

He was still lost in thought, while everyone over there had already begun to follow the clues and look for clues.

"So, Mr. Gu transferred to our class just for Jian Yao? Oh my God!"

"Then... ahem, they are upset because of Jian Yao?"

They didn't dare to say Lu Chengze's name directly, but everyone present knew it in their hearts.

Bai Yue held the phone, her eyes fixed on Gu Zhiyan's face on the screen, his face as pale as paper.

Zhao Chen called her several times but she didn't hear him. He looked in the direction of her gaze and saw her ugly face. She seemed to understand something. A dark light flashed in her eyes and her head turned faintly green.

Amid the noisy voices, Gu Zhiyan turned his head to look at Jian Yao beside him, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a low voice.

"Remember that day in the train compartment, you asked me why I kept that bottle of milk, did I let you guess?"

“Now, I can tell you the answer.”

Jian Yao looked at Gu Zhiyan intently, watching his thin rosy lips open and close slightly as he uttered a few words softly.

"Jian Yao, I like you."

Perhaps, at first he could not quite understand his emotions at that time, but instinctively did not want to drink the bottle of milk. He carefully put it in the refrigerator and warned everyone not to touch it.

But as time went by, she paid more and more attention to Jian Yao, and gradually realized her feelings for Jian Yao.

Jian Yao's mind buzzed and went blank for a moment.

She didn't know how she got out of the box.

When I came to my senses, I was already at the bathroom sink.

She in the mirror was in tears.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but they kept flowing uncontrollably.

Finally, she could only scoop up a pool of water and splash it on her face to hide the traces of tears and cover her face to calm her emotions.

When Jian Yao came out of the bathroom and passed the corner of the corridor, she heard two boys talking.

"I didn't expect that Gu Zhiyan actually likes Jian Yao. No wonder, no wonder..."

Hearing her own name and Gu Zhiyan's name, Jian Yao, who was originally planning to quietly move away, stopped where she was.

The conversation over there continued.

Someone took out a cigarette and lit it; the "click" sound of the lighter echoed faintly in the empty corridor.

"Do you still remember when we were in high school, Gu Zhiyan pressed us into the toilet and beat us?"

Another boy took a long puff of his cigarette and said, "Of course I remember. I got a pair of panda eyes and was questioned for a long time by Mr. Li from the infirmary."

I thought he was being bullied on campus.

"At the time, we were both wondering why Gu Zhiyan would hit us since we had no grudge against him."

"Now that I think about it, he beat up a lot of people during that time. They were all from wealthy families, matured early, and liked to make fun of girls...most of them were because of Jian Yao."

"If all this is true, then his mind must be too deep to hide. There are so many of us, but no one can see it."

Jian Yao stood stiffly at the corner of the corridor, quietly waiting for the two to finish their cigarettes and leave, before slowly walking towards the private room.

From a distance, she saw Gu Zhiyan standing at the door of the private room. When he saw her coming, he stretched out his long legs to greet her.

"What took you so long? If you don't come back, I'll go look for you at the bathroom door."

Jian Yao had just adjusted her mood, but after seeing Gu Zhiyan, her nose started to feel sore again.

She has always considered herself to be a very strong person and rarely sheds tears.

She didn't cry when she was bullied in the orphanage, she didn't cry when she heard those rumors at school, and she didn't even cry when Lu Chengze released her pigeons countless times for Liu Yiyi.

That time at the bar, it was not so much that I was crying for Lu Chengze, but rather for my own youth that I had wasted for more than a decade.

But today she found out that Gu Zhiyan had liked her for a long time and had been silently protecting her in a corner where she couldn't see. She should be happy, but she couldn't help feeling sad.

Jian Yao took a deep breath, lowered her head and blinked to stop the tears from falling.

Gu Zhiyan saw that she was in a bad mood and deliberately tilted his head to tease her, "No way? No way? Mrs. Gu, you know that I have had a crush on her for many years. You must be moved to tears, right?"

Jian Yao was about to shed tears, but he made her laugh.

She raised her hand and pushed away Gu Zhiyan's head, "Gu Zhiyan, I want to go home."
