Chapter 1300 - Inexplicable Woes (2/2)

Wen Xinya was suddenly filled with an ominous feeling. Throughout the years, they had mentioned about Gu Junling to her countless times before. However, she would always avoid the questions whenever they talked about him, and would even change the subject. They all thought that she simply couldn’t take the teasing.

However, her reaction now told them that there was something more to it and that her inexplicable reason could be the obstruction in her relationship with Gu Junling.

She clearly didn’t wish to talk about it.

Wen Xinya shot Xu Tongxuan a glance, after which Xu Tongxuan caught the hint and said to Zhou Tianyu, “Tianyu, honestly speaking, you’re a little selfish. If you don’t like Gu Junling, just tell him straight and let him give up on you. Why do you have to leave him hanging and put him through such misery?”

Xu Tongxuan could also sense that things between Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junling were not that simple.

Wen Xinya chimed in. “Tianyu, Xuanxuan is right. You’re not doing the right thing. Since you don’t fancy Gu Junling, you should make things clear to him. He’s not a thick-skinned person, he won’t pester you if you tell him that you don’t fancy him. If… you can’t bring yourself to say it, we can do it on your behalf.”

Zhou Tianyu immediately got rather agitated and said, “I do fancy Gu Junling, it’s just…”

Wen Xinya hurriedly asked, “Just what?”

Zhou Tianyu paused all of a sudden as a look of dejection formed on her face and her body began to tremble. It was as if she was terrified of something. She pressed her lips together and remained silent.

Xu Tongxuan asked anxiously, “Tianyu, what are your reasons and difficulties, exactly? Hurry and tell us. Maybe we can help you out. Even if we can’t, we can at least be your listening ears.”

Zhou Tianyu said bitterly, “You guys can’t help me, anyway. You just have to believe me. I do fancy Gu Junling, but I don’t wish to harm him.”

Xu Tongxuan and Wen Xinya looked at each other in disbelief.

Wen Xinya asked, “You mean, you’d be harming Gu Junling if you get together with him?”

Zhou Tianyu remained silent.

She was admitting it.

Wen Xinya could not help but begin to frown. She could not understand what was going on at all. However, Zhou Tianyu’s reaction was telling her that something was wrong. She felt that she had to get to the bottom of the truth.

Xu Tongxuan shared the same thoughts as Wen Xinya and found the matter to be rather problematic. She even wondered if the Zhou Family had disapproved of Gu Junling, or if Zhou Tianyu had developed a terminal illness like the female leads of cliche television dramas and did not wish to become a burden to Gu Junling. However, she knew that Zhou Tianyu wasn’t that pretentious.

Just as the two of them were about to speak, the door of the room was pushed open. Gu Junling, Han Mofeng, and Ling Qingxuan entered the room joyously, chatting with each other while placing an arm on each other’s shoulder.
