Gu Liyan didn't speak, but instead filled the teacup with practiced ease.
Seeing that he had no sense of being a guest, An Qianbai frowned and spoke with some anger:
"Young Master Mo Li, I made it very clear to you last time that there is not much affection between us. Please have some self-respect!"
"You've misunderstood. I just wanted to have a drink with you, and then I'll leave," Gu Liyan interrupted An Qianbai, speaking calmly.
An Qianbai looked at Gu Liyan with suspicion. "Just a cup of tea?"
Gu Liyan picked up her teacup. The black tea inside was crystal clear, much like the sunset outside the window, so beautiful it made one feel a little heartbroken.
"Yes, it's just a cup of tea." Gu Liyan nodded, looking at the cup in his hand, his voice trembling slightly.
An Qianbai ignored Gu Liyan's change, instead walking up to him, downing her own cup of black tea in one gulp, and coldly speaking:
"You've finished your tea, can you leave now?"
The setting sun shone on Gu Liyan's white and red mask, giving it a bewitching beauty. His eyes sparkled like stars, and in his eyes there was only one person...
Gu Liyan looked at An Qianbai, not angry at her rudeness. Instead, he smiled slightly and said gently, "People leave and the tea cools, but the tea hasn't cooled down, so how can I leave?"
Gu Liyan seemed to be deliberately trying to annoy her, and filled An Qianbai's teacup again.
An Qianbai's eyes widened, speechless with anger at Gu Liyan's shameless behavior.
She immediately sat down opposite him, angry, and scolded:
"Mo Li, what exactly do you mean? If you want money, just say so, I can give it to you! But if you keep pestering me and try to take advantage of me, I advise you to save your energy!"
"As I said, I just wanted to have a cup of tea with you." Gu Liyan looked up at An Qianbai and spoke softly.
An Qianbai snorted coldly, "As the chosen one, instead of going to the Heavenly Palace, you actually hide here to drink tea. You're really not a man!"
Gu Liyan's hand froze, he put down the teacup, and looked at An Qianbai with a surprised expression, asking, "Do you really want me to climb to the top?"
Hearing Gu Liyan's question, An Qianbai was stunned.
Letting him reach the top would be a mockery of Gu Liyan, but having seen so many powerful figures die trying to reach the top, An Qianbai didn't know how to respond to Gu Liyan's words.
As the sun set outside, darkness gradually enveloped the area. Gu Liyan quietly watched An Qianbai, waiting for her to speak.
Feeling extremely uncomfortable under Gu Liyan's intense gaze, An Qianbai subconsciously pursed her lips:
"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to force you. I just hate people who are afraid to try! Besides, even if you can reach the top, I never thought of choosing you as the opportunity for me to become a saintess."
Hearing An Qianbai's words, Gu Liyan looked at her with some surprise:
"Xiao Bai, do you want to become a saintess?"
An Qianbai was extremely unwilling to accept Gu Liyan's form of address, and looked at him with disdain as she spoke:
“That’s right! I do intend to become a saintess! Ascend to the Heavenly Palace as a saintess, and then I will have everything, and I will no longer be afraid of everything as I am now.”
An Qianbai coldly replied, "Of course, I think someone as unambitious as you would never be able to set foot in Sky City! I understand you; it's better to hide than to fall so hard!"
Gu Liyan opened his mouth but said nothing, while gripping the teacup tightly in his hand until it shattered with a "crack"—
An Qianbai was slightly taken aback, watching as the cup in Gu Liyan's hand shattered with a crack:
"you……"
"Is that all you want... to be the woman of the chosen one?" Gu Liyan's face was somewhat gloomy, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Have you already forgotten the one you used to like?" Gu Liyan's voice trembled slightly.
"I..." An Qianbai was about to speak when lightning and thunder suddenly broke out outside the window, shattering the beauty of the sunset.
An Qianbai was so frightened that she lost her composure and stood there blankly, watching the lightning outside the window tear through the sky and split it in two, while the Sky City stood proudly alone in the sky.
She gritted her teeth, nodded, and said, "Yes! I want to forget him and start my life anew!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan stood up abruptly, took a deep breath, and then pursed his lips, his voice carrying an icy tone:
"The tea's gone cold, I... I should go..."
An Qianbai blurted out instinctively, "The tea isn't ready yet..."
At this point, she suddenly froze, looking down to see that the teacup in front of her was covered in frost, and the red tea inside had turned into red ice.
That red was dazzling and glaring!
An Qianbai was stunned for a long time. When she looked up again, she saw that Gu Liyan had already left the room.
In that instant, her heart ached inexplicably, and the pain began to spread...
An Qianbai subconsciously went to the window and looked at the lonely figure walking in the rain. Her heart ached so much that she felt suffocated.
Tick-tock—
An Qianbai trembled, slowly lowered her head, and stared blankly at the single tear that had fallen onto the back of her hand, feeling inexplicably sad...
Suddenly, An Qianbai seemed to remember something, turned around, picked up the red umbrella that had been placed at the door for a long time, and hurriedly chased after him.
After leaving, Gu Liyan was like a walking corpse, his heart cold and empty.
It turns out she had already forgotten.
It turns out she no longer loves him.
It turns out that I'm no longer important to her.
Gu Liyan stood there, feeling utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. She looked up at the Sky City in the sky and let the cold rain soak her body.
