C11 (1/2)

The girl left. Wei Qiran stood at his original spot with the recruitment form in his hands.

Looking at the strange girl's leaving figure, Wei Qiran tilted his head. Somehow, he had the thought of going closer to get to know her.

At night, the moonlight shone through the window onto the recruitment form in Gu Yan's hands. She looked at it a few times.

During the day, the male student's words were still echoing in her head. By the time she reacted, the recruitment form was already in her hands.

She remembered what the boy had said.

— What's the point of living if you don't have something you like?

What's the point? Then what was the meaning of her life?

She couldn't figure it out, but Gu Mushen didn't tell her.

She had been brought to the Gu family ever since she was a child, and all of her thoughts came from the man who had brought her home.

Gu Musheng had once told her that if a person liked something, there would be others who hated it. If a person hated something, there would be others who hated it. If there was someone who hated something, there would be someone who hated it.

So, over and over again.

If a person forsakes the so-called liking from the beginning, there will be no evil after that, and there will be no eternal doom.

As he was thinking, he heard the door open downstairs.

It was Gu Mushen who returned to the Gu Mansion under the cover of night. He looked at the location of the girl's room, took off his outer garment, and asked Aunt Shen about Gu Yan's situation during the past few days.

After listening to Aunt Shen's narration, Gu Mushen walked in front of Gu Yan's room and coincidentally saw Gu Yan sitting upright on the bed, smiling at him.

”You're back.” The girl spoke up.

Gu Mushen loosened his tie with one hand and walked to the girl's side to sit down. Gu Yan shrank to the side and took the chance to twist his body.

Gu Mushen caressed the girl's hair: ”Aren't you happy that I'm back?”

”Happy.”

Hearing her say this, the man's mouth curved up into a smile as he approached her. He rested his chin on the girl's head and continued to ask, ”Have you missed me while I was gone for the past few days?”

”...” ”Yes.”

Gu Yan said after pondering for a while.

Not because this was the answer he wanted to hear, but because she really missed him a little.

She didn't know when, but every time he went on a business trip, she would unconsciously count the days.
