A week has passed since Gu Luo’s confession was rejected.
Friday morning arrived as expected.
During this week, the atmosphere at home was very quiet.
Quite quiet.
It was eerily quiet, like a frozen lake.
Sunlight shines through the diamond-shaped window lattices, cutting out golden spots on the wooden cabinets.
Although it is already November, the wind in Caizhou still carries the flavor of the autumn heat, and the temperature of more than ten degrees sneaks into the kitchen wrapped in the fragrance of osmanthus.
"Shu Ning, help me get the scraper."
Gu Luo's voice hit the tiles, startling the sparrows on the windowsill.
"Let me do this."
"Alright."
Luo Shuning's fingertips trembled slightly as he took the potato, and the peeler drew smooth arcs on the green and yellow potato.
Gu Luo and Luo Shuning were still wearing the same aprons and were busy preparing four or three breakfasts for the family.
He turned his wrist slightly when beating the egg liquid, and she chopped the green onions with her knife skills as fine as silk, and their tacit understanding was still as precise as the meshing of gears.
But the laughter and fun of the past are gone.
Apart from some necessary exchanges, there was no small talk throughout the whole process.
Luo Shuning would secretly glance at Gu Luo from time to time, then look away in an instant.
She thought that Gu Luo would be quite cold to her after that night.
After all, not only did he lose the gift that the other person had worked hard to prepare, but he also said a lot of hurtful words.
But what I didn't expect was that the next day Gu Luo was as normal as ever and greeted me very calmly.
Although the words were the same as before, they were a little more polite.
She was as gentle as ever, yet there seemed to be an ocean of distance between them.
Not only that, Gu Luo seemed to have closed his mind and was indifferent every day.
Shu He did not take any action.
As for Gu Ximan, after she choked up and questioned Lu Xuexue on the phone that night, she moved into Lu Xuexue's house with her suitcase the next day.
Only Luo Shuling is cheerful and carefree every day, and all she does is sleep and eat.
Of course, in order to deal with matters related to the inter-school sports meeting these two days, she would go to school early every morning to coordinate with the student unions of several other schools together with the student union.
"Brother...Xiao...Xiao Man hasn't been home lately?"
Luo Shuning hesitated for a long time before finally opening his mouth.
But he spoke haltingly.
I feel very remorseful and guilty.
Xiaoman's departure was entirely because of her.
Upon hearing this, Gu Luo paused in beating the eggs. The egg white dripped into the bowl along the chopsticks, and a white circle spread out around the golden yolk.
After a short silence, he began to speak:
"I'll bring her back tonight."
After a pause, he turned to look at Shu Ning and added softly:
"This matter has nothing to do with you, Shu Ning. It's mainly about me."
"I'll fix this after school."
".......and during these five days, I figured out a lot of things."
Hearing this, Luo Shuning opened his mouth and after a long time, he managed to squeeze out: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have played with your..."
But before he could finish his words, Gu Luo interrupted him:
"Shu Ning, you didn't play with my feelings. To put it bluntly, I know you know I know what you're thinking. Although I'm not sure what happened during this period, I know exactly what kind of girl you are. I know it very well in my heart."
"Your emotions were already very unstable at the time, and it was your first time experiencing love, so it's understandable that you acted inappropriately."
"Their actions are indeed extreme."
"Of course, knowing is knowing, but it doesn't mean I won't be angry or sad."
"Also, even if the wound heals, scars will still remain."
"So, I don't really want to talk to you now. The only reason I can tell you so much is because I am your brother now."
Listening to this, Luo Shuning was stunned and didn't know what to say for a long time.
Gu Luo was right. In fact, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, I realized that my behavior at that time was indeed very childish.
Even too childish.
If she really had to start over again, she really didn't know what to do in that situation.
Rejection is definitely a rejection.
If he confessed everything directly, with Gu Luo's gentleness, he would definitely choose to forgive, but Shu He would still not be happy.
That's why she chose to go to extremes, using the most hurtful actions and words to hurt Gu Luo, leaving no room for herself.
No matter what, Gu Luo was hurt in the end.
Luo Shuning felt extremely complicated at this moment.
Sometimes she would regret having deceived Gu Luo that day.
Later I thought, if I hadn't been deceived at that time, I wouldn't have known how deep Shu He's love for Gu Luo was.
The problem arises again.
if.
Luo Shuning really didn't know if she would give up Gu Luo and make them both happy if she hadn't lied to him and learned the secret in the black box.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
There is no answer at all.
On one side is the man I love most.
On one side is the closest sister.
No matter what choice is made, someone will get hurt.
Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?
Two women serving one man?
No, although Shu He mentioned it, it should be a joke.
Mom and Uncle Gu would never agree to it.
My own words...the same goes.
Love inherently contains possessiveness.
Who can accept sharing the same man with other girls, even if the other girl is her own sister?
