Chapter 585 A Tragic Childhood
"Xiao Yunfeng hates the color black, can't eat spicy food or mutton because he hates the smell of mutton, and his least favorite animal is a dog. You should know these basic facts, right?"
Gu Hongjie said it all in one breath, staring at Su Jin's profile.
"Can't he eat spicy food and mutton? When did he start hating dogs?" Su Jin blurted out her question.
During the years they lived with Xiao Yunfeng, their meals often included spicy food.
Moreover, there are many dogs in the compound, and I have never seen him show any disgust.
Gu Hongjie was completely speechless. "So you didn't even know these things?"
If someone truly cares about another person, they should at least know a little about that person's likes and dislikes.
Su Jin fell silent.
She recalled taking Xiao Yunfeng out for hot pot before, where they ordered a lot of lamb. Xiao Yunfeng had been taking care of her the whole time, while he himself didn't seem to have eaten a single bite.
At the time, she didn't even think about it that way.
So that's how it is.
Gu Hongjie said with a solemn expression, "Now I believe that you really don't have Xiao Yunfeng in your heart anymore."
She had gone to great lengths to try and help Xiao Yunfeng, but it turned out he had no intention of doing so at all; it was all Xiao Yunfeng's one-sided enthusiasm.
No wonder no matter how much she provoked the girl over the past ten days, it had absolutely no effect.
What's the point of playing this game?!
Su Jin gripped the steering wheel tighter, feeling a stifling unease in her heart.
I clearly wanted to say something, but in the end, all I could do was let out a helpless sigh.
"You made a mistake by asking me for help; I can't pick out a gift he likes."
Gu Hongjie was speechless.
Just when she was really about to give up, she saw Su Jin's knuckles turn white as she gripped the steering wheel.
Looking at Su Jin's tense facial lines, perhaps Su Jin isn't as indifferent as she imagines?
"It's okay if you don't know, it's always good to have someone to discuss it with."
The carriage fell silent.
However, Gu Hongjie quickly changed his tone and asked in a relaxed manner, "Do you want to know why Xiao Yunfeng doesn't like dogs?"
Su Jin remained silent instead of answering.
She really wanted to know.
Gu Hongjie already understood her personality to some extent, so there was no need for her to actually say it.
"Xiao Yunfeng is an orphan, you should know that, right?"
This time, Su Jin nodded.
At least there's something she knows.
Gu Hongjie's speech slowed down considerably. "When he was very young, his hometown suffered a disaster. His parents died in the flood, and he was lucky to survive. In those days, without the protection of his relatives, he had no choice but to beg and wander around in order to survive."
Although Su Jin had only heard the beginning, she already felt a suffocating sensation, as if she couldn't breathe.
She knew Xiao Yunfeng was an orphan, but she never imagined what a tragic childhood an orphan would experience.
"Back then, he would often fight with stray dogs for food. Because he was too young, he couldn't possibly win against those animals. The worst time he was bitten almost cost him his life, so he hated dogs."
“Even after he joined the army, he still had a fear of certain stray dogs. He did a lot of things to overcome this fear, and that's why I was able to learn about his childhood experience.”
When Gu Hongjie talked about these things, her heartache for Xiao Yunfeng was genuine.
If she hadn't brought it up, given Xiao Yunfeng's personality, he would never have mentioned such a thing to this girl.
