Chapter 844 He Clearly Still Loves Me
Before she could finish her words, Gu Zhiyan stopped.
The smile on her face slowly disappeared.
Ji Yuanyuan knew that Gu Zhiyan was thinking of Cao Xiangrong.
Maybe Cao Xiangrong mentioned Tangtang in front of Gu Zhiyan.
"When you feel better and the weather is warmer, let's go for a picnic outside together. I'll bring Tangtang with me." Ji Yuanyuan quickly changed the subject.
Gu Zhiyan forced a smile: "Okay."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Ji Yuanyuan wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Gu Zhiyan hesitated and said, "Lin Zhi...how is he?"
Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised that Gu Zhiyan actually mentioned Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi was naturally still asleep, but Ji Yuanyuan didn't know how to tell Gu Zhiyan for a moment.
Because she didn't know what kind of feelings Gu Zhiyan had for Lin Zhi.
It would be bad if I said something I shouldn’t have said and upset Gu Zhiyan.
After thinking for a while, she could only say vaguely: "I'm not sure about this. I'm not from that department and I'm busy recently..."
"Oh, so the situation is not good?" Gu Zhiyan suddenly said.
This unexpected remark made Ji Yuanyuan a little confused for a moment: "Uh, to be honest, I don't know..."
"I don't have many friends." Gu Zhiyan suddenly said again.
The scope of this conversation was really long, and Ji Yuanyuan could hardly keep up with Gu Zhiyan's thoughts.
She was still thinking about the previous question, but Gu Zhiyan was already talking about the next question.
"How could that be? You are so pretty and gentle, so many people should like you, right?"
"My mother died of complications during childbirth, and I was raised by my father alone. My father loved my mother very much. My mother has been gone for almost 30 years, and he has never thought of marrying anyone else. He has even never been in a relationship in all these years. My mother risked her life to give birth to me, so you can imagine how much my father values me."
Gu Zhiyan immediately switched to the chat mode, and Ji Yuanyuan could only switch to the state of an intimate elder sister as quickly as possible.
"As children, there will always be friction when playing together. When I was a kid, whenever there was a conflict between me and other children, in my dad's eyes, it was always the other person's fault. If I wasn't hurt, it was fine. But if I just had a scratch, my dad would go find the other child's parents to argue with them. Over time, no one wanted to play with me anymore."
In this way, Gu Zhiyan is quite pitiful.
"You must have felt very troubled at that time, right?"
Gu Zhiyan chuckled: "When I was young, I felt very happy. I had my father's support and they had to give in to me. But when I grew up and became more sensible, I felt troubled. I quarreled with my father countless times because of this. Fortunately, my father also realized my troubles and changed a lot.
I did make some friends later, but then I was diagnosed with heart disease and couldn’t stand too much stimulation, so my friends gradually disappeared.”
After saying that, Gu Zhiyan saw Ji Yuanyuan was confused, so she smiled and said, "I said this to tell you that I long for friends. Although you may think that we don't have much contact and are just slightly better than strangers. But in my heart, I already regard you as my friend."
Looking at Gu Zhiyan's serious expression, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little touched.
This feeling, really...
Obviously, she had not done anything for Gu Zhiyan, but Gu Zhiyan silently classified her as a friend.
This simple friendship touched her, but also made her feel a little overwhelmed.
She didn't know what to do to repay Gu Zhiyan's trust.
"No, in my heart, you are already my friend." Ji Yuanyuan said quickly, "Thank you for speaking well of Sheng He in front of Uncle Gu."
"Since we are good friends, there's no need to say so many polite words." Gu Zhiyan said.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded: "Yeah."
"Since we are friends, shouldn't you tell me the truth?" Gu Zhiyan asked again.
Ji Yuanyuan knew that Gu Zhiyan wanted to hear about Lin Zhi.
She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Lin Zhi is still unconscious. The doctor said that the chances of him waking up are slim."
Gu Zhiyan was stunned. She smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps, for him, sleeping is better than being awake."
She raised her head and looked at Ji Yuanyuan: "You should know Lin Zhi's background, right?"
Ji Yuanyuan nodded: "Qin Mucheng told me."
"He was actually a pitiful man. He was so happy before he was eighteen, but suddenly one day he lost everything."
"You and Lin Zhi... have known each other since childhood?" Since Gu Zhiyan mentioned Lin Zhi, Ji Yuanyuan asked tentatively.
"Not really. We only met when I was in the first grade of junior high school. His parents' company took out a loan with the bank where my dad worked, so we became familiar with each other after a few visits. At that time, he was already a sophomore in high school, attending a key high school. My grades were not very good, but my dad still asked him to tutor me." Speaking of the past, Gu Zhiyan's eyes were filled with nostalgia.
When we were young, we were carefree. As an adult, who wouldn’t miss the carefree childhood?
“Unfortunately, he later went abroad to study, his parents got into trouble, and the company was taken over by his uncle.
He lost everything and my dad contacted him and wanted to help him.
But he unilaterally cut off all contact with us. Even when my dad went abroad to look for him, he kept avoiding my dad.
We lost contact and I didn’t know why at the time. It wasn’t until two years ago that I learned the truth from him.”
Gu Zhiyan looked at Ji Yuanyuan, "You must not know that Lin Zhi is my ex-boyfriend, right?"
Ji Yuanyuan never expected this news.
"What? You two dated?"
"That was three years ago. I met him at an art exhibition. Even though it had been so many years, I still recognized him at first sight. We got along very well for a while afterwards. I thought it was a natural thing, but he rejected my confession."
There seemed to be stars in Gu Zhiyan's eyes: "He actually rejected me, which aroused my interest even more. Anyway, I was determined to get him, and if he didn't agree, I would pester him. Within half a year, I got him."
Ji Yuanyuan listened with interest: "They say that if a girl chases a boy, it's easy to get him. It seems to be true."
"Alas, it's a pity that after dating for more than half a year, he still broke up with me. I couldn't accept it and kept asking him the reason. He gave many reasons, such as our personalities were not compatible, I was too clingy, and he never liked me. But I didn't believe it, because I could see that he still loved me."
Gu Zhiyan reached out and held Ji Yuanyuan's hand: "Yuanyuan, do you know? Love really can be revealed from the eyes."
