Chapter 110: Gao Jialan’s high school POV (Part 2) (2/2)

Hearing this, Gao Jialan didn’t utter another sound. Now, she was angrily sulking in the cabinet. Why did she end up like this?

Wen Yihan thought her expression was very cute. So, he couldn’t help but touch her pouty lips.

“You!”

Gao Jialan was astonished and slightly scared by Wen Yihan’s gesture. In her opinion, Wen Yihan was a troublemaker…… she wasn’t very fond of him.

“You’re so cute!” Wen Yihan smiled. For the next thirty minutes, he gazed at her as if she was something precious. He barely moved at all.

After thirty minutes had gone by, the two of them lacked too much oxygen to remain inside the stuffy cabinet. Their backs were killing them and they ran out of their hiding spot.

They took huge gulps of the fresh air. At that moment, Gao Jialan thought that being able to breathe freely was one of life’s greatest blessings.

“Are you alright?” Wen Yihan laid on the ground in the shape of a 大. He asked Gao Jialan as he gave her a smile yet not a smile (tl: I know this sounds really awkward. But it's a common saying in Chinese).

“What do you think?” Gao Jialan’s voice was filled with resentment. “Why are you being chased by such dangerous people? If they caught us, what would they have done?”

Wen Yihan thought about it. Then, he lightly said, “They would kill me.”

“Kill you?!” So, basically, she walked on a tightrope around death?

Gao Jialan was in a rather confused and panicky state. Wen Yihan was still smiling. What the heck…

“What bad deeds have you done?” She hesitantly asked.

“None.” Wen Yihan shrugged his shoulders.

“Then why are they after you?”

“Because of my father.”

“Your father?”

“Yes, if you must ask me what wrong I’ve done, it would be the fact that I was born, I guess? That was a mistake to begin with.”

Gao Jialan remained silent. So, Wen Yihan continued, “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you. But thanks for helping me today. If you didn’t lie for me, I would be dead.”

“Since I helped you, could you promise me one thing?”

“Of course!” Wen Yihan promised without thinking. Previously, he went through the class list and found out her name was Gao Jialan. This girl was quite interesting.

Gao Jialan stared at Wen Yihan and gravely stated, “From now on, can you pretend you don’t know me?”

The smile gradually vanished from Wen Yihan’s face.

“Regardless if we encounter each other at school or on the streets… just pretend you don’t know me.”

“Why?”

“I feel like you’re a very dangerous person. I don’t want to be part of your troubles. So, can you promise me?” Gao Jialan was very serious. Wen Yihan felt his heart slowly turning cool again.

“Alright.” If he answered like he cared, wouldn’t he seem very pathetic?

Wen Yihan stood up and patted the dust off his butt. He confidently uttered his final word, “Goodbye.”

While watching Wen Yihan’s departing figure, Gao Jialan knew her request was quite harsh. But she must not have anything to do with him if she wanted to live a peaceful life. She didn’t expect him to understand. It would be best if he hated her instead. That way, they could live their separate lives and she would be fine with it.
