Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. She gazed at him seriously and her expression was so grave for the first time.
Gu Jingze said, "You're saying that you don't want me to continue doing this with you..."
Lin Che also looked at him and plainly said, "That's right. I think this is completely different from what we agreed on in the beginning. We should keep a certain distance from each other. Doing this now puts me in a pinch."
Gu Jingze looked deeply into her eyes as if he wanted to capture the slightest hint of emotion in them that could explain why.
However, if she wanted to follow their agreement, what else could he do?
He gently let go of her hands and turned away. His stiff posture looked even darker under the glow of the fireworks.
He also suddenly became quiet.
After a long time, he finally spoke, "If you've already made this decision, then I will respect it."
Lin Che heard his answer and felt relief in her heart. At the same time, there was an indescribable pain. But there was no future for them. If they continued this way, it would make her feel disgusted.
Thinking about how he was still keeping in contact with Mo Huiling while being with her, she somehow couldn't accept it.
It was New Year's Eve. The distant sky was filled with an enchanting red color. The two of them sat at the verandah in silence and listened to the countdown behind.
When they returned to the room, Gu Jingze took the initiative to take his blanket and head out. Lin Che didn't bother about him and leaned on the bed. She heard him making his bed on the floor outside but didn't pay attention to him.
Lying down, there were still sounds of firecrackers but it was already a lot quieter.
Lin Che hugged her blanket and heard Gu Jingze soon fell asleep. There was no movement outside.
He was usually a quiet sleeper but he seemed to be much quieter today.
Maybe she was being too sensitive. In any case, she hugged her blanket and smiled gloomily. She didn't think that he would agree so readily.
It looked like his heart was still certain that they would divorce sooner or later. That was why he logically agreed with her thinking.
But why did he agree? She began to feel uncomfortable as if something was touching her small heart. There was a pulsating pain.
Lin Che smiled bitterly and thought, Did her heart really have such a glimmer of hope? Did she really think that he wanted to spend a lifetime with her?
Actually, being able to meet such an outstanding man and interact with him for a few years was already her good fortune. How could she still be so hopeful?
She was with him for so long that her heart actually had such unrealistic dreams.
This man... It was better to keep a distance from him. Thinking about it, Lin Che blurrily fell asleep.
The next day.
