Chapter 171: Suffocating
Qin Qing used to be a very opinionated person. Once she made a decision, she would not change it easily unless there was a convincing reason.
Now that the bond of their close relationship is gone, Gu He has no right to ask her to act according to his ideas.
Yun Ran didn't want to move, and Gu He had no choice but to put it aside for the time being because he didn't want to upset her.
Back next door, Yun Ran had no intention of inviting Gu He to stay. He just said, "I'm back now. You should be relieved."
Gu He didn't understand what she meant at first and was stunned for a second.
Then Yun Ran followed up with, "I'm still a little weak and not in good spirits. I don't have the energy to entertain you. If you have nothing else to do, please go back."
Gu He's hand tightened: "I'll stay and take care of you!"
"No need." Yun Ran said, "I don't like people around me during breaks, and there are a lot of things going on outside right now, so it's better if you don't continue wasting your time here with me."
"I can handle it." Gu He said hurriedly, "You are not feeling well, and I am worried about you being alone."
"Really, don't worry about me." Yun Ran showed no sign of being persuaded. "I just want to be alone for a while now. I can just get some food later."
"You've already spent so much time here, you should leave now."
Looking at the still hesitant Gu He, Yun Ran raised an eyebrow: "Or are you saying all these high-sounding words just because you're worried about Li Ting and I being neighbors?"
Gu He: “…”
Of course, this is also a big reason. Li Ting has ulterior motives towards Yun Ran, and they are like water and fire. No matter how true or false Li Ting's attitude towards Yun Ran is, it is not a good thing in Gu He's opinion.
She was worried that Li Ting was deliberately approaching Yun Ran for other purposes, and she was also afraid that he really had feelings for Yun Ran.
In short, if possible, Gu He didn't want Yun Ran and Li Ting to have too much contact.
But these words obviously cannot be known to Yun Ran.
"Of course I believe you." He said embarrassedly, "It's just that you're not well yet, I..."
"I'm fine on my own." Yun Ran emphasized his tone, clearly running out of patience. "If you really care about me, just leave quickly so I can go back to my room and rest."
Gu He: “…”
Being kicked out so rudely, he couldn't utter the rest of the words.
His expression changed for a moment, but he finally compromised: "Okay, I'll go first. Take care of yourself. If you need anything, be sure to contact me as soon as possible."
"I understand." Yun Ran said and closed the door.
Gu He took a deep breath, feeling an indescribable sense of suffocation.
But to be honest, all of this is his own fault.
After seeing the madness beneath Qin Ruo's well-behaved exterior, he recalled their past interactions and realized that there were already clues to everything.
It’s just that at that time, Qin Ruo disguised herself too well in front of him... or in front of everyone, and successfully deceived everyone.
Gu He couldn't help but wonder, at that time, would Qin Ruo only reveal her evil true face without concealment when facing Qin Qing?
How would Qin Qing feel when everyone sided with her and thought that Qin Qing was being unreasonable and refused to listen to any explanation she gave?
How much harm did his unwarranted trust and partiality towards Qin Ruo cause to Qin Qing?
