◇ Chapter 26
There was silence for a while.
He Yilan, seemingly recovering from his shock, cursed angrily, "I knew this business trip was the work of that bastard Chu Jiangyuan! He was trying to steal my girl away while I was gone!"
Si Gu'an: ...
After a sigh, Si Gu'an said, "You think too much. I just remembered some fragments that seem to be related to Chu Jiangyuan, so I wanted to ask you about the news about Chu Jiangyuan and his lover Si Gu'an."
Si Gu'an did not describe the details of the fragments in his mind to He Yilan. He wanted to hear the real news as much as possible. He Yilan was silent for a long time after that.
Then he said: "This is a very long sad story. If you want to listen to it, please prepare some tissues..."
Si Gu'an didn't take it seriously at first, but half an hour later...
He had used up a whole box of tissues, leaving the carpet covered with tear-wiping tissues. His voice was still choked with sobs as he asked, "Is this the end of the story?"
"This story is endless..." He Yilan's voice on the other end of the phone was a little heavy: "Although I hate Chu Jiangyuan as a person, I have to admit that he is indeed a love-struck person."
"Ever since Si Gu'an died, he's been like crazy. Who would believe him if he said he didn't love her? Do you remember the man you saw at the club that day? I heard that Zhou Haofeng ended up like that because he had deceived Si Gu'an before."
"Xiao Wang, I'm not exaggerating. Chu Jiangyuan has submitted Si Guyan's paintings from his lifetime to the International Golden Painting Award for several consecutive years, but you've always snatched them away... I don't believe he doesn't hate you. Take my advice, stay away from that lunatic Chu Jiangyuan."
In fact, He Yilan didn't need to persuade him, Si Gu'an's sixth sense was telling him to stay away from Chu Jiangyuan.
But whenever he thought about this, he felt as if a piece of coptis root was stuck in his throat, making it taste bitter and astringent.
After hanging up the phone, Si Gu'an still couldn't stop feeling anxious, his head was dizzy, and fragments of memory flashed through his mind, but when he woke up the next day, he remembered nothing.
His eyes were swollen like peaches. He looked at his appearance and decided not to go out.
But soon after, the doorbell rang "Ding Dong Ding Dong".
The person who came was Chu Jiangyuan.
He was holding a small gift box in his hand. When he saw Si Gu'an, he immediately asked worriedly, "Gu'an, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Si Gu'an shook his head embarrassedly, lowered his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing else, it's just that we are lucky enough to be neighbors, so I brought you a gift."
Before Si Gu'an could refuse, he added, "They say that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. It's inevitable that trouble will come to your place in the future. This gift is not expensive."
He had finished speaking, and Si Gu'an had no choice but to accept it.
Chu Jiangyuan continued, "What's wrong with your eyes? Don't you need to see a doctor?"
Si Gu'an shook his head awkwardly: "No, I just watched a movie and cried..."
Chu Jiangyuan chuckled unexpectedly, "It's not a good idea to keep it swollen like this. I know a folk remedy that can quickly reduce the swelling. Do you want to try it?"
Si Gu'an hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
He invited Chu Jiangyuan into the house and let him apply eye mask to him. They were so close that he could clearly smell the fruity scent of his shower gel.
Si Gu'an blushed slightly. He hadn't expected Chu Jiangyuan to use the same shower gel as him. He looked up and saw his serious expression.
A serious man is very attractive, not to mention that Chu Jiangyuan is such a capable man. However, Si Gu'an was distracted for only a few seconds before coming back to his senses.
He thought of what He Yilan said last night.
Chu Jiangyuan loved his deceased wife madly.
He kept calling Gu'an, and memories kept flashing in his mind... All these made him confused. He wanted to know, what was he in Chu Jiangyuan's eyes?
Taking a deep breath, he mustered up the courage to shout, "Chu Jiangyuan."
"Hmm?" His eyes dropped, and when their faces met, there was endless affection in his eyes.
Holding back the soreness in his nose, he asked, "Chu Jiangyuan, what exactly is the relationship between you and me? What do you...take me for?"
