The atmosphere in the Gu family mansion was tense and very quiet at this moment. The assistant silently took the agreement from Xu Wei and returned to Gu Jinan, but he was forcefully grabbed by the arm.
Seeing that he was silently and stubbornly about to tear the thing up again, Zhao Zhao stepped forward and grabbed his wrist to stop him.
Zhao Zhao was very weak, and Gu Jinan could have easily broken free, but he only felt as if there were thousand-pound shackles on his arms that restrained his movements.
He looked up at Zhao Zhao with red eyes and whispered, "Is there really no room for maneuver? Do you really not want to stay?"
"No, I don't want to." It was still just a few light words. Compared with his extremely reactive expression and actions, Zhao Zhao seemed particularly calm.
Those who are most emotionally invested are the first to break down.
In order to please the Gu family, Xu Yanzhao almost always pretended to please Gu Jinan in the past few years. The little feelings he had for him were cultivated in recent years.
Although I feel reluctant, I can still bear it under the circumstances.
The assistant took the agreement and left the Gu family, and it was time for Zhao Zhao and Xu Wei to leave this place.
The nanny and Aunt Gu went to help Xu Wei pack her things, while Zhao Zhao went back to her room to pack.
He had very few things, except for his daily clothes and a photo frame.
...It’s Lin Zhihuai.
Zhenxi touched the man's sunny and warm smiling face, and Zhaozhao also smiled.
Just as he was about to pack his clothes into the suitcase, there was a knock on the door. Zhao Zhao slowly walked forward to open the door. As expected, it was the calm Gu Jinan.
He didn't have the smile he usually wore when he saw Zhao Zhao. His sharp features were filled with solemnity. "Let me help you pack your things."
Zhao Zhao was about to refuse, but then he said, "You're sick again. Don't try to be so stubborn when you're so weak..."
As he spoke, Gu Jinan picked up the glass he had been holding and said, "Drink it, leave the food to me."
"I hope this isn't the last time I'll help you clean up..."
His voice was unusually low and slightly hoarse. Seeing Zhao Zhao's clear eyes fixed on him, he forced a smile and said, "Don't look at me like that. Your body temperature is abnormal. I've sensed it a long time ago."
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Zhao's eyes. He did have a fever when he got up today, but he didn't expect that Gu Jinan would notice the abnormal temperature of his skin just by touching his exposed wrist.
Taking the medicine he handed over, Zhao Zhao raised her eyes and said seriously, "Thank you."
So, he slowly drank the medicine while Gu Jinan worked hard to help Zhao Zhao fold clothes and put them into the suitcase.
When he took the photo frame, his already gloomy expression became even more tense. He glanced at the things Zhao Zhao needed to bring and said through gritted teeth, "Brother, you even brought Lin Qingning's photo, but why didn't you bring mine?"
Zhao Zhao: “…”
"Brother? You really don't want to bring it?"
"...Bring it." Zhao Zhao was helpless. He casually picked up a photo from the drawer and handed it to Gu Jinan, "This one will do."
This photo shows eighteen-year-old Zhao Zhao and sixteen-year-old Gu Jinan. At that time, they were both full of vigor and were still carefree teenagers.
The photo captured that moment and their happy and warm smiles.
At that time, because Zhao Zhao deliberately managed their relationship, their relationship was very good and there were almost no conflicts.
Zhao Zhao had to admit that it was one of the few happy times in Xu Yanzhao's short life.
Gu Jinan couldn't help but fall into memories as he watched. His eyes slowly turned red. He looked up at Zhao Zhao with grievance, still unwilling to give up, and asked, "Brother, are you...are you really going to leave?"
His voice was so hoarse that Zhao Zhao even suspected that this big strong man would burst into tears in the next second.
Silently helping Zhao Zhao put the photo away, Gu Jinan, who was fussing over something, couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why doesn't my photo have a frame?"
It's just a simple photo.
